Machiavelli was right
by Ryan Carboni 20 Feb '20

20 Feb '20

Machiavelli was right, it is better to be feared than to be loved. But those who rule by fear often only live for pleasure, and do not share the emotions of those they rule over. The 1934 Business Plot was interesting, a lot of speculation, no convictions. Mobsters say they are concerned, or that this is a problem. A lot of enthusiasm. It is good to have enthusiastic supporters, they have those. All the power to them. I've been grievously harmed by a small number of culpable individuals, tied to other people who would engage in those acts themselves, protected by a larger number of less culpable individuals, protected by an even larger array of institutions. Rest assured, no one is obligated to touch my genitalia and I won't be forcing my way into any your orgies, I don't care for orgies, but you can keep them. In terms of the ongoing Gambit Roulette ( https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GambitRoulette ), there will be no outcome desirable to me, but things can go many ways.

1. Satyrocracy: governance by orgy 2. apomimarchy: governance by psyop I think two centuries of scholarship on governance and new observations should cause some form of reassessment of the US constitution...

>no sane oligarch No one goes to America to be more sane. People come to America to be more free or to be more rich. What does sanity have to do with anything about America? Oh, this is an interesting blog post about JFK: http://www.90cubedrule.com/in-which-drew-pearson/

[MINISTRY] USA oligarchs go "subtle": WaPo: "It's time to give the elites a bigger say in choosing the president"
by Zig the N.g 20 Feb '20

This is one of those moments you try to think of a snarky opener, a hard hitting principle, and/or a short line punch, and the realisation hits that this is an own goal the likes of which is so hard to comprehend, there's nothing one can add: It's time to give the elites a bigger say in choosing the president Washington Post - Opinions https://mobile.twitter.com/Cernovich/status/1230180477056634880/photo/1 https://mobile.twitter.com/LibertyBlitz/status/1230187699899785216/photo/1 This is the memes literally being written without having to meme-ify the facts, an own goal from the WaPo that demonstrates how disconnected the USA "elites" are, like "let them eat cake" and "because we have money, we know better and you should hand over 'democracy' (what's left of it) to us". Amazing times we live in... WaPo Claims Elites Should Run Elections; Quietly Edits Article After Public Outrage Ensues https://www.zerohedge.com/political/wapo-claims-elites-should-run-elections… ... There’s a reason I take screenshots. ... Here's the possibilities with this year's north American election: 1) Democrats once again steal the nomination from Bernie Sanders one way or another - probably the deal Bloomberg made with party elites, in his intention to hand it over to Hilary, so she can again run against Trump; they'll probably pull out super delegates again, despite promising not to. In this scenario, the destruction of the US Democratic party is all but complete, and all bets are off - Tulsi and Bernie could literally start a new Democratic party and probably have more success than most other scenarios. 2) Somehow, the Dems decide to let the popular candidate (Bernie) actually receive the nomination, and the most hilarious media double talk the world has ever seen, begins, where (((the triple bracketted media))) are ordered to shill for Trump, since no sane oligarch supports 85% tax on hisself nor nationalisation of any of "his" assets (electricity grids, gas networks, etc). Now -that's- hysterical :D Sadly, since comedy scenario 2) is so embarrassing to the legacy media, we'll probably see scenario 1) - not that it will change the outcome in November one iota (except for the further destruction of the "Democratic" party) :D

I think a binding method of enforcing voter decisions upon the elite is a lynch mob and a lamp pole. That's just me though, Flint, MI, would have had their government overthrown a hundred years ago if they decided to poison their own citizens through negligent policies. Given the sheer disproportionate influence of elites, claiming the trivial obstacle of committed delegates to selecting a nominee is undesirable is absurd. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/02/18/fix-primaries-let-elites… Preference primaries could allow voters to rank their choices among candidates, as well as to register opinions about their issue priorities — like an exit poll, but more formal and with all the voters. The results would be public but not binding; a way to inform elites about voter preferences.

Outside of that though, I recommend watching "An Open Secret", "Who Took Johnny?", and "Abducted in Plain Sight". The usual steps in this process is: "What is going on?" "What is really going on?" "How do I begin to explain this?"
