If you have a more indepth take to contribute, I'd be glad to read it.

I guess a lot of people who keep up with the ZH crowd and the surrounding set of similar sites, have had this feeling, of some looming catastrophe, for years. Of course its easy to say its different this time.

But weirdly, it does feel different.

I think the difference for me, is when I first came here, I really knew fuck all about nothing.

Now at least I know fuck all about something, which is close to but distinct from nothing, like the 40,000 foot view, through a kaleidoscope, without binoculars.

You end up with a gut feeling that, like wandering through tiger country, at least has some plausibility for existing.

Say hello to all your friends in the GCHQ dude.

I ain't buying.

I haven't ruled out that federal agencies and adjuncts (e.x. broward-county type sheriff departments tied in with the FBI) will perform multiple attacks.

The consensus seems to be that after all else fails, and the economic "reset" is plain to see as looting, the state will move, before the public knows whats going on, to enter another major war, as thats the last move in their playbook. They can't go back to afghanistan because that distraction won't work twice, not in a pinch, not in a way they can predict, and not without pissing off the new guys on the block there (russia and china).

In order to justify a large scale war effort, domestically or abroad, that entails one, or likely more, real attacks committed by the federal government on its own territory. People are tuning out the distraction narratives, so the state will have to make it real for it to matter at this point, at least enough to hold up to scrutiny. We see that already with the "busses of american women" narrative. Or maybe that was a reverse-narrative so we'd shrug and not give a shit, who knows. Point is, no one gave a shit about the busses narrative.

Dovetails with bringing troops home suddenly. Moves to expand the capitol police. The start of a new "rightwingers are the taliban" domestic "war at home" narrative. Congress/Occupation Government's mouthpiece, biden, and numerous comments about going after "antisemites", "extremists", a "new war on extremism", demonization campaigns, the promotion of chipman to the ATF.

They're planning for exactly whats happening in australia right now. They're planning on bringing that model here to the u.s.

My guess is biden really is genuinely compromised. Pentagon wants culture control chinese style, and is perfectly fine handing over the u.s. role as hegemon to another, probably china, because the pentagon is subverted absolutely and thoroughly by british spies and israelis.

And in order to do that they need to create an escalating series of ever larger crises, in an ever-shortening window, until the u.s. breaks out into large scale conflict, without which, the u.s. wont be sufficiently disorganized and paralyzed by internal disorder, necessary for a fog of war, permitting further sabotage on a large scale.

While the u.s. is dealing with this "sudden break out of civil war." the chinese seize taiwan and japan.

Thats probably the plan.

At that point, u.s. credibility is, not just in name, but officially dead, as a world superpower, along, definitively, with u.s. dollar hegemony. Dead as a fucking doornail.

That would be my plan if I was Xi, Jeremy Fleming, or Kristalina Georgieva.
