The globalists are doubling down because they know they're losing their slaves.
Power is useless if they don’t use it.
“Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power”
George Orwell
Personally, I think your point of view is way too optimistic. In my experience, there are a craploads of people out there who have no idea TPTB want to enslave them. To be completely frank, I think we are all not much more than slaves these days. In fact, if you're paying income tax, sales tax, gas tax, liquor tax, tax on your electricity, property tax, and a whole slew of taxes that I can't even think of right off the top of my head, you are ALREADY a slave and simply are not willing to admit it. I'm a slave, and know it. Simply not ready to pull the trigger on my target yet.
