I've been kicking around an idea the past few days that I believe is an important thing to be aware of IF in fact I am correct about this idea.
The Establishment, aka the guys and gals who make the rules, spend the money, etc have us bamboozled.
That isn't the realization. That is just a segue.
These people have us bamboozled into thinking they represent our best interest and that they are seeking to stabilize the world, bring about peace, and prosperity for all. They bamboozle us further by making us believe that because they wrap it up in some ideology be it capitalism, socialism, or communism that their true motives change.
The realization is this...
To those in a true position of power stability is NOT profitable. It is not in their interest to leave things stable and predictable. It is not in their interest to maintain peace, and bring about an easily predictable model of the world.
In fact, as long as they are in a position to predict the changes before they happen then they will be in a position to profit the most in the form of power and wealth. What is the easiest way to insure they can predict these changes? The answer is if they are the ones causing the changes.
To them a plan can produce endless power and wealth, and emotional manipulation of the population of the planet. To the rest of us it can seem like chaos, though most of the time it likely is not chaos. It is simply the people who planned it didn't let the rest of the world in on their plans so they can profit influentially, economically, and power wise.
We have this false perception of the "rulers" that they are like our parents and are trying to make the world safe for us and make it prosperous for all. This is a delusion. For the most part it is obvious this is not what they actually are doing and the realization is that this is likely done largely by design.
The establishment is not a changing president. The establishment is the entities that persist and remain regardless of who the president is, and regardless of what nation you live in.
Pay attention and you will see them. The presidents and many of the other ISSUES are simply the sock puppets those entities wave in front of us to keep us distracted, and as tools to usher the planned changes that appear to chaos to us simply due to lacking all of the pieces to perceive the order behind it.
