"Ambiguous, evocative, and poetically provocative" and also "word salad scat." 🤣
I'm glad you built this out into a post - it needed to go there. It's a complex theory with a lot of moving parts and you've made it very easy to understand. In an attempt to summarize you, I likely overcomplicated the explanation. I'm in ephipanic popcorn mode....
If they're managing the narrative to this degree (I would argue yes because the thousands of data points make it highly statistically improbable for this to be anything but either crafted deliberately or synchromysticism on a level we couldn't unpack without a quantum computer), all of his public appearances in the past four years leading up to this one as the culmination (of pulling out that last Jenga brick and posing the narrative that he's unfit to hold office in a way that synchronizes aggregate consciousness back into lockstep) would have laid the groundwork for this event through hyperstition. (There. Is. So. Much. Here.)
There are more data points to this hyperstition setup going back to DNI Ratcliffe in December 2020. I'll have to pull my notes from 2020/2021 to outline a timeline of events, but I think I was tracking this chain of events back from that point. Weird. I'll look for it. But I think hyperstition was utilized, in this case, to quell the chances of civil unrest, and this event was engineered to bring population-wide unity to the idea that we would require Biden to step down.
This narrative could not have played four years ago. It would have resulted in additional rioting instigated by one of the left leaning factions - the same faction that staged the riots in summer 2020 to instigate conditions for a land grab at a reduced rate.
Can of worms. Oof. I may need to go rabbit hole spelunking.
More cosmic fire! Definitely a lot to consider. The big question (or one of them, to me, at least haha) is if this is hyperstition "who" or "what" is the core consciousness crafting the narrative? Myriad "nodes" as we considered? You? Me? John Ratcliffe? Some Red King dreaming this solipsistic narrative? Definitely a lot I need to consider!
Thank you as always for the read and the fantastic reply :)
If it's just *happening* that would make it consciousness overall. We have no way of tracking that. A quantum computer couldn't even track that. Infinitely many variables. If it's planned and implemented, that would be more like a black ops project where a 4, 8, 12-year narrative has been woven. I'd have to take you through the data on that point by point. But *if* that's the case, Dec 2020 is when we have a second, intentionally false, divergent narrative that emerges.
As to those terms resonating, yes, absolutely! It may just be that I'm tired from lack of sleep and a rather challenging work week that involved traveling out of state, but I do not have examples off the top of my head. My first thought, though, is that these "techniques" have been employed so regularly - and so relentlessly - in recent years, it's more challenging to pick out specific examples. However, I have also been doing a great deal of catch up since 2019. People who have had eyes wide open from the get go, such as the brilliant Demi, would probably have no difficulty enumerating events and examples.
I owe you a proper reply, but before I forget it strikes me that the moving goal post on the Ukraine war and the changing narrative about inflation may be candidates as well.
The repeated recalibrations around global cooling/warming/climate change definitely applies.
I suspect the "transanity" movement will meet with at least one Synchronization Ritual as well because the chasm between orthodoxy and reality is so vast.
I love the phrase Maximal Level of Processable Delusion. It reminded me of the song The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging from THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY.
I was fortunate enough to have seen both Peter Gabriel's version of The Lamb and the show by Genesis. Peter Gabriel's was superior in every way. How I miss the seventies!
I feel sorry for anyone that was not brought up in the fifties and sixties. I'm glad you're making the best of it. Peter Gabriel's best show was Secret World; but THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY was his greatest accomplishment.
I think they're doing to “democracy” what they've done to public services. Progressively degrade it until it becomes totally dysfunctional and the populace chants en masse with their arms thrown up “PRIVATISE THE DAMN THING THEN!!!” After which there will be no need to hide who's running the show, and countries will have names like soccer teams “Coca Cola Guatemala”, “MacDeutchland”, etc
Interesting hypothesis: essentially a pseudo-socialist feint with the emphasis on intentionally degraded public works to mask an accelerationist agenda to drive the populace to clamor for hyper-capitalist privatization. It actually reminds me a lot of the timeline in the Cyberpunk game Shadowrun where megacorps own huge swaths of territory and serve as essentially sovereign nations, e.g., Aztechnology/Aztlan/Mexico.
Exactly! Nothing seems too far fetched anymore. When I was obsessively reading science fiction in the 80s/90s, thinking "yeah right, as if anything like that could ever happen in real life", little did I know that not only would some very weird stuff materialise, but would do so within MY lifetime and not that many years later either. If we stand far enough, if we pretend we're tomorrow's historians piecing this story together, now looks a lot like the point in time where all masks must fall off for humankind to take another giant leap, towards questionable direction. Homo consumens' offspring has already been born. And the world they will inhabit will be very different to ours.
You’re on to something. Reminds me of ‘cooling the mark’ a brilliant article I have saved somewhere. The marks are the voters they need to believe to make it all look legit.
Thank you, Grape Soda! Great name, and beverage, btw. And it does sound like these are related concepts. If you ever turn up that article, I'd love to read it as well.
This has been in the works for a long time. We called it early last year.
That they would use him up doing all the things they wanted, run him without opposition within the party to insure that no "public" sentiment would influence the future choice of replacement, then when the time comes close enough to the election, cut him loose for all to see and for the complicit media to act shocked at what we've all known all along. Then, find and pitch the perfect party replacement who would then capitulate to save the party, save Democracy, save the WORLD from Trump.
It's pure Hollywood scripting!
My money is on Michele Obama. I think they are the only one who has the emotional pitch to pull it off with the party faithful and what a great story for the media to focus on.
It has to be emotional and it has to be sellable.
And the Obama's are just so cute and adorable in the White House.
Well thought out and put together observations Apollo Lyre. thank you for that. I think the lame stream media knows what they are doing in my opinion. He’s no longer in their favor. Expect sh*t storm soon.
Thank you for the read and the reply. I concur: they know what they are doing, and I'm also getting my raincoat and galoshes ready for the coming storm! :)
There is a mystical law, "as above, so below", and I add to that "and everywhere in between". Biden is not an isolated individual controlled by a competent group holding him up for some peculiar reason. He IS America and he IS Americans. What you see in him you can see in his party, his electors, his economy, his society, his country. He is the mirror to a part of the American soul that has placed him there and keeps him there. And it is profoundly EMPTY of anything. Trump is also a mirror to the same empty part of the American soul, the part that must win at all costs. He became President first time round backed by a party that hated him with a passion. Yet they still supported him because he could win. Win what, no-body seemed interested to ask, because just like Biden, that part of the American soul is empty. There are no values, no higher purpose, no karmic consequences for America and Americans any more. It's an empty shell led by empty shells whose only desire, only motivation, only reason for getting up in the morning is to win, but to win what, no-one ever asks.
MARS VOLTA!!! You could have gone with Frances, but of course, the lyrics would be different. (It's funny to use them as an example of lucidity, lyrically, because most people say he doesn't make sense [as you emphasized]. I take the poetry black, lol, so I'm not one of Them.) Also, your posessives are on point. "Belligerent potato," lol. Nice, short explanation of this complex Topic.
Nicely written. I like this term synchronization ritual , functionally a pressure release valve as you said. It seems if the apparatus can create a particular narrative of truth that 2 standard deviations will push back against, like denying something as obvious as dementia being observed, it can also easily manage where those standard deviations push towards. I think this ritual you speak of helps this transition, making people think they are making progress against the system by normalizing their beliefs among the masses and across "party lines". They have to be stirred enough to want change but distracted enough to not know what that means. If it be something like a growing chorus of people calling for Bidens ouster (which allows pivots from certain policies being used currently) or one of the many "they were right all along" (mistakes were made) covid revelations (like cloth masks..) where the system can pivot quickly to something else. This synchronization ritual seems to have the mechanics of a joystick or a steering wheel for mass society. So upon recognizing such a thing happening, perhaps we should ask where are they steering us?
Again, very nice piece. Going to have to really think this concept through.
Absolutley brilliant comment, Hugh! The standard deviations line was perfect; I wish I'd thought of that haha. You get exactly what I was trying to convey here and really develop the idea in exciting ways, including musing over ways we can appy this knowledge to avoid future manipulation. Thank you so much! I am going to continue to mull all this over as well...
Thanks. I appreciate you breaking new ground on our perception of their tactics. Understanding the system, at least to the extent that we can, is the first step to forming a viable defense... and eventually a counter. Keep up the good work !
Interesting… I’ve been a little miffed about how the cult leaders propagandized things like wars, to be about ‘freedom’… then we get the terminator telling us to ‘fk our freedoms’ … 2020 was a clear synch shift. So well planned and executed that the cult adherents proved who they were. Exit and Build.

So much this with the hypersition or telling you how they're doing it without telling you. Hypestition HITMFP 😁❤️👏🔥
It’s a show, scam to an offramp, with the same destination. My mind sees, “ Arbeit macht frei “
Marty : [whispers] Puppeteers...
Dana : Puppeteers?
Marty : Pop-Tarts? Did you say you have Pop-Tarts?

This certainly warranted a greater distribution.

More to come... eventually! :)

How wonderful to read another Lamb Lies Down on Broadway fan. That might my night!
I was fortunate enough to have seen both Peter Gabriel's version of The Lamb and the show by Genesis. Peter Gabriel's was superior in every way. How I miss the seventies!
I was born in the 60s so too young to attend Genesis with Peter but was fortunate to have great friends who turned my on to older Genesis.
I saw them numerous time sans Gabriel and also saw Gabriel solo.
And of course I couldn’t imagine The Lamb without him.
Phil and the boys pulled off a couple good albums without him but … well you know the rest!
But to give credit we’re it is due watching Phil and Chester Thompson drumming together was exhilarating.
I feel sorry for anyone that was not brought up in the fifties and sixties. I'm glad you're making the best of it. Peter Gabriel's best show was Secret World; but THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY was his greatest accomplishment.
I am glad you liked it! The Party is always trying to keep us as deluded as possible without crossing that threshold.
I am not familiar with that song, but now I can't wait to check it out. Thank you for mentioning it!
For some reason, my mind also went to the "Base Violence Necessary for Change," which is a great episode from the recent Arcane tv show.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15496376/
Yep, I liked that one too. I’m saving this in my research bibliography for that book about cult mentality that I might get to someday.
Very well said.
Thank you, Susan! I appreciate it. Looking back after a bit of time now, this did age rather well, for better or for worse haha
Hopefully, we can get these ideas out to the masses and continue to refine them, while helping people recognize what's transpiring!
I think they're doing to “democracy” what they've done to public services. Progressively degrade it until it becomes totally dysfunctional and the populace chants en masse with their arms thrown up “PRIVATISE THE DAMN THING THEN!!!” After which there will be no need to hide who's running the show, and countries will have names like soccer teams “Coca Cola Guatemala”, “MacDeutchland”, etc

I could see that happening.

LMFAO. Back in a bit.... 🤣
I absolutely loooooove Mars Volta and At the Drive-In!
