Years ago, I was the right-hand man for my company’s CEO. He was anxious for construction to be completed on a certain facility, as our previous one had unfortunately been subjected to a terrorist attack from which I was lucky to have just barely escaped. The work was lagging, so he dispatched me to deal with the project manager (PM).
When I showed up onsite, the PM seemed very nervous and attempted flattery. I curtly instructed him to dispense with the pleasantries, because I was there to put him back on schedule. He assured me that his personnel were working as fast as possible. I was immediately skeptical and speculated that I could find new ways to motivate them.
He again reassured me that things would be finished on time. I explained that our CEO didn’t share his optimistic appraisal of the situation. The PM implored me that he was being asked of the impossible and he needed to hire more workers. A frank admission, finally. My reply was that perhaps he could tell our CEO when he arrived onsite.
A look of fear flashed across his face, and he inquired if this was really the case. That was correct, I told him and furthermore, our CEO was most displeased at his apparent lack of progress. He promised to redouble their efforts. In a moment of candor, I remarked that I hoped this was true for his sake because our CEO wasn’t as forgiving as myself.
If there’s anything I learned from my time with this company, it was that fear is quite a useful tool and one that becomes of particular utility once the good times are gone. So, yeah, I’d say our government is going to be attempting to instill lots of fear in the near future. Here’s what it’s facing in 2024:
- Comprehensive, catastrophic military defeat in Ukraine
- Mass unrest in Europe
- The continued toll of a black America gone feral
- The effects of mass migration that it doesn’t seem willing or able to even slow down
- Having to lock up the former president and steal another election
- Inflation and a consumer debt crisis
- Unaffordable home ownership
- Boomers retiring into systems that aren’t funded to last the remainder of their average life expectancies
Also, the economy isn’t looking too swell, either. It’s therefore not surprising that there does seem to be groundwork being laid for another round of insane COVID dystopia. The timing would appear to be right as COVID hit us in the winter of 2020 but much of the financial measures introduced had been fleshed out in Sun Valley, Idaho the previous summer and then Event 201 to rehearse a virus response was conducted in NYC that October.
So, if we’re going to be subjected to this again it would make sense that we’re beginning to hear the rumblings right about now. It’s not exactly a fringe notion that something big and bad is going to have to happen in order to control the public. Tucker Carlson’s theory is that both a Trump assassination and a war with Russia are incoming.
Carlson might be right, since we’re talking about the machinations of people who are evil, insane, and incompetent all at the same time. They’ve put themselves in a position where the status quo can’t be sustained, and the public will be very upset with how this impacts the average citizen’s life. As I said, it’s becoming pretty well-accepted that there will be a need for them to do something to keep us under wraps as things are done to us that we’re really not going to like and the whole democracy veneer is pulled away.
Even Putin pointed out in a speech at the beginning of this year that our string pullers would have to pull something big eventually as an excuse for resetting the system and named war as one of their options. However, let me try and speculate from a rational perspective.
If one proceeds from the premise that they’re not totally incompetent, a direct confrontation with Russia can be ruled out since we don’t have the conventional assets to prevail or even the industrial capacity to sustain a conflict for long. Ukraine has been a very ugly lesson that would be hard to ignore.
Moreover, most of Russia’s assets are safely inside of Russia whereas the Russians would have a wealth of targets to hit with missiles, which the current conflict has demonstrated that we won’t be able to intercept. There’s also the sizable probability that this would escalate into a general conflagration.
So, as a justification for introducing more domestic tyranny as a solution for the inability to sustain American expectations about quality of life, a losing conflict that can’t be contained doesn’t appear to be a great option. Again, there remains a decent chance it could happen though.
Rebranding COVID as some new nightmare seems much more feasible, seeing as it worked once before. Less people are going to be on board with the insanity this time around, but many are incorrigible. The first pandemic functioned as a proof of concept. Remember, everyone from Bill Gates to Biden kept telling us that COVID would just be the first pandemic.
They tell us they’re going to do things, and then they do these things. They’ve been talking about a great reset, but nothing has really been reset. When is that going to happen, and what does that specifically entail? If they’re willing to shut the world down and inject everyone with unlimited experimental gene therapy over fraud, I wouldn’t put anything past them. This why I’ve spent the last three years decrying Satanism and I never did in all my years of writing before it happened.
We can’t rule out the government repeating something that turned out poorly in the past and trying to do this same stupid thing bigger and better. In fact, I’d say it has a rather solid track record at doubling down on stupid. Take discriminating against White men or these foreign wars, for example.
I think the question of what’s going to happen in 2024 essentially boils down to fear. If they estimate that they’ll be able to scare enough people to comply with another round of pandemic bullshit, then that’s what they’ll try to impose. If it’s not war or a pandemic, what else would they do? UFOs?
I just don’t think they can scare enough Americans with the threat of getting abducted and rectally probed by aliens. My money is on pandemic round two, and I really doubt it’s going to be anywhere as fun as getting checks for nothing and staying home to send emails instead of working.
I’m proud to officially announce my candidacy for the office of Dogcatcher.
“What we and our more nearly immediate descendants shall see is a steady progress in collectivism running off into a military despotism of a severe type. Closer centralization; a steadily growing bureaucracy; State power and faith in State power increasing, social power and faith in social power diminishing; the State absorbing a continually larger proportion of the national income; production languishing; the State in consequence taking over one âessential industryâ after another, managing them with ever-increasing corruption, inefficiency and prodigality, and finally resorting to a system of forced labor. I can view it only as a logical and necessary step in a general course of rebarbarization.â

An interesting take on the situation. My hunch is that they are going to try to play the Covid game again. I am unvaxed, and will remain so, but so many of my older relatives mindlessly took the jab.
I don’t think they will kill Trump unless he finds some way to avoid jail. Then it is inevitable. I must confess on the night he won the election I turned to a friend and said they would impeach him, if that didn’t work they would try to put him in jail, and if that didn’t work, they would assassinate him. So far, I am two out of three. Do I know the system or what!
You story about the angry CEO reminded me of the video where Putin shows up to a factory that is under producing and rips them a new one.
Shackleford is one of the few who can make Star Wars allusions apt and funny, without sliding into nerdy cring; a rare gift.
Bro, this totally happened in real life
Brings up some interesting points.
I’d add that those in charge aren’t stupid or incompetent; they simply value things far differently than we do.
For example, Afghanistan was a massive victory for TPTB. CIA pulled out about $1trillion in opium. MIC turned ~$8trillion in taxpayer dollars into contracts, and kickbacks to the politicians. When we left, China moved in to start mining, with at least one of the holding companies that would profit being partially owned by Hunter Biden.
Pretty much everything that we think of as them being stupid is similar; they simply have different goals and so don’t calculate cost/benefit the same way we do.
