“Solving problems is happiness.

And humans solve problems better in high trust groups.”

So true! Humans are born naturally curious. One must be curious to solve problems. And one must have courage! To have that kind of courage, one must trust themselves. Unfortunately, that trust is taken away once enrolled in the Public School System(TM), this destroying our curiosity and ability to solve problems. Good obedient citizens must trust “The Experts” rather than solve problems.

Deep State exists to serve the Imperial Oligarchy. Empire rules directly through the Deep State structures. Old constitutional structures and institutions were left standing only to fool us, the people, into believing we still live within a constitutional framework. We don’t! We live in a constitutional Potemkin Village. Deep State extends outside the State. It is a hierarchical technocratic class which extends into business, arts, news, medicine, and all other sectors. All these structures operate within their own logical spheres, with their own hierarchies, expertise, professional standards, and guiding philosophy. Very few people need to be aware of the ultimate purpose they are serving - advancing interests of Imperial Oligarchy, and serving as its ultimate protection.

Technocrats execute long term strategies; they merely follow orders, even when it doesn’t take much to figure out they are acting in opposition to the stated purpose of organizations they belong to. Ultimately, all their work is undergirded by their belief that they are serving non-existing constitutional institutions. The military is ultimately sustained by a belief that they are serving the country, the USA as defined by the constitutional framework. This belief is held by both those who are serving and those of us who believe that fighting imperial wars is “keeping us free” and “protecting our democracy”. This erroneous belief is reflected in all other sectors; people still believe that educational systems is setup to educate people, that medical system is there to keep us healthy, etc. Of course, none of these things are true but that does not matter because things exist as they are entirely by a belief that they are what they are not. They are sustained by our mistaken beliefs.

We cannot appeal to Deep State. We can only appeal to fellow humans serving these structures when what they are doing is harmful to the people. They cannot be allowed to act by “follow the orders” excuse. We must open our eyes and see the reality as it is, not as the Imperial Oligarchy wants us to perceive it. What must follow is a general delegitimization of ruling/expert structures to a degree that prevents technocratic servants from hiding behind “following the orders” and knowing their crimes will be protected. Technocrats, doctors, experts,…, must begin to fear us more than the Imperial Oligarchy they serve. No amount of money can compensate for living in a hostile environment, and the Imperial Oligarchy is too distant to save them.

This system is highly unstable. It is entirely sustained by our belief in it. Imperial Oligarchy knows this and that is why we are rapidly transitioning from a covert tyranny toward the more overt one. And that is why they are doubling down on brainwashing level. They cannot afford a critical mass of awareness among the population they are ruling. They prefer stealth, but they will do anything to keep their power, and I mean everything! Our salvation is to be found in building a critical mass of people aware of the reality about them, and then exploiting the systemic weakness. Appeals to technocratic structures simply cannot work.
