Dear Friends,
It seems to me, Hegel set up a scenario where it is in the elites’ best interests to harm the people, as a tool to amass power, wealth, and prestige. Talk about a perverse incentive. This is quite an accusation, so let’s unpack it. Hegel was a philosopher who postulated that those in power can create a crisis, to facilitate usurpation. It’s often called “problem, reaction, solution…” Where the elite want something the people would never agree to, so they create a problem that generates a mass reaction that leads people to embrace that which they wouldn’t tolerate a day before. It could be argued this tactic has been used many times in the past, so why not now and in the future? Moreover, if a crisis causes a reaction, why wouldn’t an ongoing crisis be useful to maintain their power?
“Remember the Maine!” was the rallying cry that started the Spanish-American war. Though many historians now agree the sinking of the Maine wasn’t the work of the Spaniards, but an accident, or maybe even a false flag. Like the attack on the USS Liberty was supposed to be… had no one survived. Then there was Operation Northwoods that shocked JFK when the CIA proposed it. One has to wonder how much of January 6th was generated intentionally by the government, to create a situation where they could further abuse our Rights? As they did. Of course the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot, planned, funded, and executed by the FBI to ensnare some hapless militia types and get her reelected. Which it did. The point is, Hegelian manipulation is a feature of history, not an anomaly.
Anything that has happened by definition can happen again. Since history is a list of false flags, Hegelian manipulations, it’s reasonable to presume they’re a tactic of today’s manipulators as well. With the constant revelations that the press has lied, about Covid, the “vaccine,” George Floyd, Russiagate, Biden’s mental acuity, inflation under Biden, under Trump, and the list goes on and on… we have to wonder if the news is all a manufactured narrative, instead of organic reporting? Then there’s the amazing agreement of the legacy press. They use the exact same wording? Like all coming up (supposedly organically) with the term “Ambushed,” to describe Trump confronting the South African leader for open genocide. Which makes me think the press is a tool of that Hegelian manipulation.
With a compliant media in their back pocket, the elite are free to create a crisis to facilitate amassing wealth, power, and prestige. If we examine our world today, we see that virtually all the problems we have are the result of “mistakes” of our leaders. War, for example, is proof of failure of the elite, as is a declining standard of living, famine and crime. Even racism is largely created by the elite to divide the people into warring camps. As long as the ruling elites can keep Black American culture corrosive to family formation, wealth accumulation, and happiness, the elite can maintain power over them. Inner city youths aren’t poor because of their culture, the jobs were exported, and the elite imported workers to fill the ones that couldn’t be exported, or lack of education… but simplistically, because of racism.
Every time you turn on the legacy news, you’re being programmed to think things that will harm you and your children. During the Covid fear-mongering, the news was all about making and keeping us afraid of Covid. With death counts running across the bottom of the news like a stock ticker, wall-to-wall coverage of the deadliness of the disease, and vilifying anyone who didn’t take the clot shot. In hindsight, that whole affair was a Hegelian manipulation. To terrorize us into harming our health, giving up our Rights, and wearing political iconography (a mask) as a condition of service. If true, what’s the answer? The answer is to stop listening to the payola press, cynically question everything you hear, and live fearlessly. Because fear is the key to the Hegelian lock on our psyches.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
