When ‘Divide and Conquer’ Unites and Enrages

The tremors we feel today promise a social earthquake still to come.

In two previous essays, I have discussed popular nullification in the context of the American people rejecting the State’s propaganda and withdrawing their respect for the rule of law. As the U.S. and other Western governments continue to engage in a cognitive war against their own citizens, an increasing share of Western populations will conclude that their own institutions have been secretly targeting them as enemies. Because the World Economic Forum, the United Nations, and other globalist bodies have chosen to spread falsehoods (first they panicked about “global cooling” before pushing the more terrifying “global boiling,” after all) in a calculated campaign to sow public fear and drive public policy, authority figures have forfeited the public’s trust. As Western governments and their international coalitions (e.g., the World Health Organization) respond to the public’s rejection of their authority by imposing new censorship and surveillance rules on society, the fracture separating the governing from the governed will widen into an unbridgeable crevasse.

Western institutions have decided that a mixture of fear, lies, and coercive mandates (including vaccine passports, carbon allowances, central bank digital currencies, and social credit scores) will provide sufficient soft power to bring Western populations to heel. It’s a bold gamble that overestimates the cunning of those globalist leaders who execute it, while underestimating the public fury that will eventually be unleashed. What is more, globalists have already committed a fatal strategic error: they have set in motion events that will ultimately unite disparate blocs of society against their continued monopoly on power.

“Divide and conquer” has always been the most effective way to subdue a population. Machiavellian leaders in the West use this tactic to great effect. Brexiters who defend their national sovereignty against arbitrary edicts

I don’t know if J.B. Shurk is AI or an actual human being, but this article is spot-on.

As I wrote elsewhere, the REAL intent behind the “rage” attribution to people on the right and left, is provocation. The provocateurs on the left blame rurals, their cousins on the right blame the urbanites. As the article points out, we’ve seen a LOT of folks unite since 2016 that previously were “enemies.” Trump has been a unifier (for the most part) while Bidet and his retinue keep fanning the flames of separation.

The question is: will we ants recognize the TRUE fiend?
