As the utter deceit filled vileness of the power elites’ mouthpiece, the media in its various forms, is ever more shamelessly triumphant in the last few days, a line from the Bible seems to me very vivid in elucidating their essence:
Their throats are open graves.
Donald Trump is of course no perfect man, but all around the world huge numbers of people very correctly in my view began to see him as a very unexpected focal point of someone in the highest power genuinely motivated for the mass of people’s interests, and so of course deeply antagonistic to what is ever clearer a noxious cabal of forces who look on us with total indifference and contempt. This body of people essentially wish to push their power to the absolute over us, with laughably them even telling us with one of their slogans from their vision of the Great Reset, “You will own nothing.” Look up the Great Reset though and you will see such fears dismissed as weak-thinking conspiracy theories. We’re not having to do any theorising. We’re just taking them at their own word.
Trump said, “They’re not after me. They’re after you, and I’m just in the way.” And now feeding off their ability to send out through their media their total distortions of reality, they are going after Trump, this focal point of resistance, with full force, and clearly feel whatever shackles of restraint are gone. What is happening now cannot simply be seen as a power struggle in the ordinary earthly sense. This really is at the level of spiritual warfare, of evil fully going for broke.
Lifting from a previous piece on Machiavelli ... This tension is for Machiavelli an unquestionable, fundamental truth - that the ruling elites will always want to oppress the people, to further their control, and by simple logic the ultimate desired destination is absolutism, the totalitarian state. This leap to absolute power is dangerous for the rulers however, as the people are great in number and have no wish to be the subjects of outright tyranny. To excessively act on this urge for such total mastery is to gamble with what they already possess.
Principalities usually come to grief when the transition is being made from limited power to absolutism. We must distinguish between....those who to achieve their purposes can force the issue and those who must use persuasion. In the second case they always come to grief, having achieved nothing; when however they can force the issue, then they are seldom endangered.
The populace is always fickle; it is easy to persuade them of something but difficult to confirm them in that persuasion. Therefore one must usually arrange matters so that when they no longer believe they can be made to believe by force.
