Dear Friends,
It seems to me, one of the advantages of a top down totalitarian governmental structure, especially one far removed from the people, is that if an outsider wants to control it, they need only take control of a few individuals… and the whole falls into their hand. The more separated from the masses, and the more singly the elite wield power, the easier it is. An elite that are far distant from the people they rule, as in a global government, are necessarily harder to monitor. If the world capital is in Europe, and you live in Indonesia, it is very difficult to know what’s going on at the seat of power. Moreover, the more power one has, the more they prefer to exploit it in darkness. Making transparency in a totalitarian government a bad joke. Get a lever on the right people in such a system… and voila it’s yours.
A person with sufficient intellect, malevolence and dark triad traits, coupled with the means, can easily get another under their control. Be it by addiction, blackmail, or threatening loved ones, there are a myriad of ways a glistening turd can get someone under their spell. Some claim Epstein was engaged in just such activity at the behest of certain national spy agencies. Getting blackmail dirt, on powerful people doing illegal things, with children. If that isn’t malevolent, pathological or Machiavellian enough for you, it is obvious that the same people who employed Epstein to get dirt on the rich and powerful, had him strangled in a maximum security facility, under the noses of the very powerful people… that are clearly under their control. Else they couldn’t have covered it up. To beg the question.
If you think those that work in the dark with a license to kill, are saints, I have an asteroid to sell you. People at the top of the permanent bureaucracy, the Interagency or deep state, have a lifetime job, with little to no oversight, and every one has a private army they call police, the IRS for example. If someone were to get the first and second tier bureaucrats and majority leaders under their power, they would run the show in the US. Unless someone became President they couldn’t control. Then they could use their minions to destroy those people, with hoaxes generating special prosecutors, impeachments due to unnamed whistle blowers, and using the FBI to go after a girl’s diary. Of course, such an evil conspiracy would be called out, then discredited as a conspiracy theory.
Functionally then, the less oversight the elite have, the more susceptible they are to being manipulated. Which means that in a twist of fate, it is actually in the elite’s best interest to have total oversight, transparency and accountability. If they are on a monitor twenty four seven, even if compromised, they cannot operate freely. Because, it is very hard to tell someone what to do when their phone is bugged, without an elaborate and changing code. Let’s face it, the half wits we have in congress are incapable of such subterfuge, drunkenly groping a waitress is more their intellectual grade. Ironically then, the elite would be best served to allow their every action to be overseen with constant monitoring, available in real time on the Internet, and saved for later viewing at anytime… by anyone. For their own good.
In the US, Europe or any oligarchical government then, all a malevolent actor would need do is take control of a few dozen people, by hook or by crook, and the system would work for them, not the people. If that happened, you would see things like… the legal system becoming an impediment instead of facilitating business, lobbying being more profitable than investing in plant, product or innovation. The nation’s boarders would be wide open. There would be hopelessness along with its ugly children, drug addiction, disease and generational poverty. Protests would be allowed or crushed depending on politics, the education system would be turned to political indoctrination and teaching absurdities, instead of educating children, while manufacturing would flee the corruption. Oh wait…
Sincerely,
John Pepin
