“We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal,” it’s a popular American ideal based in classical liberalism, and on its face it seems logical, but somehow it stumbles upon one glaring issue – its enforcement. How does one go about enforcing self truth? Is it through the private sector? A governmental entity? Is the onus on the individual? This question gets to the crux of classical liberalism. How does the individual achieve their god given right to liberty in a world marred by systems that go against it? Throughout the 17th and 18th century this political movement was summoned and manifested by the Declaration of Independence and the founding of the American “Bill of Rights.” From there, the paradoxical narrative of classical liberalism’s journey to modern liberalism and then to Neo-liberalism is best observed through the laws of the 11th Amendment onward. These addendum’s still continue through this time to showcase how the need for revisions still persists. Liberalism, in all its forms, is a perfect ideal exercised within an imperfect doctrine that must continuously be revisited and added upon.

At its inception though, classical liberalism was a defiant stand against the “old-world’s” conservative dogma. The ideological battle between the two still persists to this day but in a new and more intentionally misframed way. This modern misframing is best observed and understood through examining the polarizing life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

In ‘America A.D’ we spoke to the historically penultimate importance of Dr. King’s life and legacy. Ironically in retrospect, that legacy can also be attributed as the birth of “Neo-liberalism” because of its consequential outcome. There was no other American life that more accurately displayed all the ‘idealist vs materialist’ issues of classical liberalism in its time and the subsequent misframings of neoliberalism after its time than did the life of MLK.

At its core, the term Neo-Liberalism champions free market capitalism as the preferred route to personal liberty. Contrarily though, it believes this is only achieved through invasive governmental agendas that extend beyond boundary-setting. This inherent contradiction is also highlighted by MLK’s legacy and the consequential role he played within the transitional divides between classical liberalism, modern liberalism and neoliberalism posthumously.

Former President Ronald Reagan is widely considered the “Father of Neo-Liberalism” by economists. But to understand all the ideological misframings upon which his false idolatry stands we must first go back to the 1930s. At that time, Ronald Reagan was chasing fame as an actor in Hollywood when FDR was implementing socialism in the United States via “The New Deal.” As FDR’s movement played out through the 30s and 40s, it became clear that it was being used as a vehicle for strategic racism by state governments. The National Recovery Administration was the oversight committee charged with enforcing anti-discrimination standards across all the job distributions associated with the New Deal. But, according to the Encyclopedia, not only was the NRA ineffective in helping black Americans climb out of the Great Depression and into the New Deal, but it excluded a large portion of them from attaining governmental benefits or protections whatsoever.

Overall, be it within the Agricultural Adjustment Act, the Federal Housing Authority Act, the Social Security Act or the National Labors Relations Act, all these New Deal programs accelerated existing discriminatory practices that worsened the second class citizenry of black Americans within a segregated America.

In retrospect though, The New Deal is still regarded as an honest but misinforming campaign that was designed to help everyone but failed. Instead only helping whites while disenfranchising blacks in a brutal manner. A manner so inhumane that the consequential rise of MLK and the civil rights movement was inevitable.

After MLK’s assassination in April of 1968, Black America went on a fury of riots nationwide that went on for over a year. During this tumultuous time, a previously failed presidential candidate by the name of Richard Nixon ran a second presidential campaign under the strategically racist slogan of “Reclaiming Law and Order.” He would exploit this fear-mongering slogan throughout his short presidential run and in doing so set the foundations for a Neo-Liberal culture that Reagan would exploit a decade later. 

Neo-Liberalism was and is nothing more than a language framing tool that allows the means of the “white collar” class to capture the economy. Through Reagan, the “spirit” of Neo-Liberalism was able to be exploited by elitist under the veneer of free markets and deregulation. The market was perceived as the arbiter of merit when in reality it was the balkanizer of capital for a select, oligarchical few. Unlike the New Deal's misinformation, “Neo-Liberalism” straight up gaslit everyone into a misframing of the economic and cultural landscape that allowed the elitist capture, which now, several decades later has been fully realized.

In closing, ‘The Civilization Myth’ touched on how misframing language, particularly in matters of racial and/or cultural coding, is used to prop up and justify empire building/sustainment. It turns out this tactic is no different when Neo-liberalism comes into play. Whenever used, it’s framed under the guise of free market capitalism, when in reality it’s a euphemistic gaslight harping back to a feudalistic order. An order that has sealed 99% of us into a perpetual second class citizenry of sold lives.  

The Neo-Liberal Myth

On the 5th of July, one day after America celebrated its 250th bicentennial birthday, pastor Loran Livingston of the Central Church of God in Charlotte, North Carolina gave one of the most unexpectedly viral speeches of the year.

“There has never been a Christian nation,” he proclaimed. “You don’t live in one now...A Christian nation would never have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans...A Christian nation would never have thought that owning slaves was pleasing to god – or that it lined up with Scripture in any way, shape or size…”

On its face these words seem obvious, but the unexpected viral reaction shows how far we’ve deviated from factual information in this country. It was an ‘oh s**t’ moment that reminded millions how deep the cognitive dissonance runs in the American psyche and how it’s still intensifying at a compounding rate.

It was a reminder of how deceitful the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves are, or rather, how the counter-narratives we tell ourselves about ourselves can lead down dark roads of Manchurian candidacy.

One of the most pervasive of these is that the opposite of life is death, so if you're not "living" you're dying (etc., etc.). Life and death are false equivalancies. The opposite of death is actually birth. Life is just an intermediary we segment through in journey form. The only thing that’s truly ours in this life is our journey. Which is why story telling is so central to the purposes and meanings we project upon our paths. Narration is the true and living “God” of our experience.

Therefore, understanding and analyzing narrative structure and our place within it is key to navigating the troubled timelines we encounter in the present, past and future. There are 3 rules central to the foundation of narrative structure: (1) there has to be a voice narrating the story, (2) there has to be a place(s) where the story unfolds and (3) there has to be emotions expressed; be it directly or indirectly or an interplay between the two.

With these rules in mind, memory and reality play foundational roles in the narrative structure of life. Memories act as a voice and reality the setting. The paradox in these though is in their unreliability unfortunately. The nature of memory is one of constant flux, and modern science has proven that reality is non-local. These 2 unfortunate truths mean that we live life through an unreliable narration and a limited point of view. So it makes our journey an elusive one to portray in an objective and full way in real time.

So out of respect to that disorder, we must always be weary of charismatics preaching unipolar narratives that seek to fold all other narratives into their order. America, and the world for that matter, is a tapestry of multipolar narratives unfolding simultaneously.

The genius of America is that it is the first nation to not only welcome narrative-multipolarity but demand it in law. America is not one thing, its many things, so to try to consolidate it into one thing is counter to the founding principles. So anyone trying to enforce an all-encompassing order is working in counter-narrativizing.

In ‘Secret Wars’ we discussed how Neo-Liberalism was a unipolar narrative that’s currently captured culture and consolidated both major political parties into its particular structure. It wields an army of charismatic counter-narratives, like MAGA Communism, that have consolidated millions into occult factions. Factions that, unbeknownst to its members, work at the behest of consolidating all of America into the neo-liberal order.

The unignorable truth is that we are plagued by a limited vision, so we only see things through the scope of beginnings and ends when the truth is that infinity goes forever in all directions, including the past. So we are mistaken to try to consolidate narratives into one over-arching narrative based in beginnings and ends. The only true unifying narrative is that there are many narratives. To prune them is wrong.

Narrative Wars

“How long is now?” The screen asks. “Is it measurable? Is it a billionth of a second? A trillionth of a second? When it’s now on earth, is it now on Saturn? Have you ever left now? Would it surprise you to learn that there’s a lot of places on earth where now is happening at different times? For us, there is a continual moving point in time that we call “now,” this now separates the past from the future, it is always now. Time is just a long string of now’s that stop at the present.”

If you go anywhere in public nowadays you are bound to see disassociation. Multiple “now’s” closed off from one and other yet together in silence. Everyone’s heads down and eyes preoccupied by screens. It’s only in rare instances that you see everyone in a public space riding the same time-wave. We’ve normalized this new impulse of being alone together in disassociation. Which has allowed a broader fracturing of reality to be expanded upon by technocrats and their appropriators. Much to our chagrin, this phenomenon has allowed the floodgates to open for a new ontological empire to be constructed that sits upon a foundational propaganda where the penultimate ‘now’ is an ever-shifting projection of speculations and/or suggestions. This may seem harmless and just an inconsequential marker of technological progress, but by turning ‘now’ into a superconducting scroll/feed, the speed of life has morphed into a new hypnosis.

There’s an old maxim that says media can't tell you what to think, but they can tell you what to think about.

Through their calculated uses of direct and indirect suggestion, technocrats and their appropriators have captured our perception of what’s present. Headlines have become articles in themselves due to information inundation. The news is so continuously instantaneous that every second, every screen refresh, every channel flip a new headline or clip pops up perceiving what’s happening in the ever elusive ‘now.’ So much so that we have sacrificed our cognitive sovereignty to its conductivity. Screens are the new monolith.

As discussed in ‘The Attention Economy,’ consciousness (like reality itself) is non-local because it is a byproduct of the universe. So the reflexive truth of balance over order should be clear, but there are still those that see the two as inseparable. This delusion is caused by craving order over everything, even our universe, but the truth is our universe is reflexive and there is only a balance-based duality to it (rooted in entropy and fate) that must be respected and allowed to interplay naturally.

From an ontological perspective, forms are in a forever process of transforming or weakening, so succession must always be happening in the name of balance. To try to apply a man-made conductivity to this flow of forms is to play God.

Heraclitus famously stated, "No man ever steps in the same river twice," which means that both the river and the person are constantly changing, highlighting the idea that everything is naturally in a state of constant flux. This quote emphasizes the impermanence of life and the inevitability of change and how we must reckon with both continuously throughout our journey. The becoming is realer than the being in this sense.

But with this new hostile takeover, technocrats and their appropriators are trying to establish an astroturfed reality atop our natural one where they can conduct a permanent theater of artificial flux, forever capturing our consciousness. Which, as of “now” (pun intended), seems to be working.

In his 2025 Nobel Prize Winning Discovery in Physics, John Martinis and his colleagues proved that a macro-scale system can tunnel through a barrier to create a measurable new frequency. It does this through consolidating down to one uniform wave, allowing it to then tunnel through and become part of an artificial atom. When a collection of atoms consolidate they become a solid. In order for this to happen, its energy must be reduced. This same consolidation pattern happens during superconductivity.

In this theory, screens act as the barrier, phasing the observed “macro-consciousness” into a lo-fi pattern that’s manipulated by the appropriator/controller. These processes then allow for an artificial/astroturfed reality to be manifested, ingesting the whole.

It’s important to remember, in its essence, time is a long string of now’s that abruptly stop at the present. Looking back on them, we see them as instances in time and points in our movement through space, but now, due to this economy of speculation that theatrically narrativizes our moments, instead of these ‘now’s’ being linear, we must reckon with the truth that they have become convergent. Conspiring against us.

The Speculative Economy

There’s never been a time in American history as culturally fractured as now. From the converging issues of wealth inequality to social injustice, to unabated corruption and countless other disparities, it’s fair to say things are quite dire. We are at a compounding inflection point that’s protruded across 2 decades and counting. And how? How has the social reckoning of the moment not reached a fevered pitch as of yet? The answer is in the organized quelling of our perception by both seen and unseen appropriators. Appropriation Psyops have become a billion-dollar dark industry that’s secretly contrived in its orchestration and calculated in its partisanship.

“Too Big to Fail” is a decades old rationale that’s still used in closed door meetings to justify the unjustifiable swindling's still ongoing. It's become the rallying cry for both corporate grifters and counter-intel strategists seeking dark sanctuary for dark motives. History would mark that 2007 moment when that theory first arrived as the beginning of “The Great Recession” and the acceleration point of our cultural fracturing. In its immediate aftermath, several grass roots movements arose in opposition: The Tea Party Movement, The Occupy Wall Street Movement and the Black Lives Matter Movement.

Understanding the collapse of these 3 grass roots movements is essential to understanding the collapse of our modern society because they all were successfully psyop’d, and understanding how is at the root of countering the groundswell of appropriation psyops that still infiltrate our subcultures today. In the past, grass roots movements had been the catalyst for change and social reckoning, but we now live in a time where psyops have become so effective that they not only neutralize the potency of grass roots movements, but they marginalize social reckonings altogether. Disassociating all involved parties and potentials in one fell swoop.

To understand how though you must first understand a new-age term that explains a particular mechanism within the appropriation psyop structure: Astroturfing. It is a dark money operation where appropriators manufacture a shell campaign they disguise as grass roots for the sake of infiltration.

This is how the Black Lives Matter movement was quelled. For those that remember, when Trayvon Martin was killed the grass roots movement that arose in its wake was actually a social media trend that went by the name “#hoodsup.” It emerged in response to his killing and aimed to raise awareness about racial profiling and racial injustice. Protesters wore hoodies to honor Martin, who was wearing one at the time of his demise in 2012. It would take less than a year from this grass roots movement for it to be appropriated via the astroturfing of a nonprofit organization that was founded in 2013 by the name of “#blacklivesmatter.” They astroturfed their way into the protest scene with dark infiltrators and hidden agendas that were covertly orchestrated and executed until the mission statement was debased from its original thesis into something contrived to cater to the LGBTQ community. By the end of the movement, they were having gay marriages at protest. A tell-tale sign of the debasement and successful astroturfing.

Now even though the other 2 movements weren’t astroturfed into appropriation, they were still commandeered into appropriation via grandstanding. What initially made the Tea Party & Occupy Wall Street Movements so formidable was that, unlike #hoodsup, they were organized from the outset with decentralized systems of rank. The downfall of both came at the hands of mass media narrative wars via gaslighting campaigns. In an effort to combat these narrative wars, the various Tea Party nonprofit organizational leaders hived together into their own PR team and entered news spaces with counter-punditry. In doing this, they conceded to that medium as the messenger and not the people, and with that concession it was only a matter of time before they took on the medium's reflection of their movement instead of their own. This allowed social christians (a powerful TV lobby group) to platform political candidates under their same talking points and shift the political representation of the movement from their grass roots candidates (like Ron Paul) to appropriated ones (like Michelle Bachmann).

In closing, to appropriate is to take something foreign to you and make it your own -for your own- with no reciprocity. With social movements, this is done through clandestine attention farming for debasement’s sake. Once ideological infiltration is complete, the grass roots movement is debased and consolidated into an archetypal form that’s adherent to the appropriator's logistics. In the Tea Party Movements case it was Fundamentalist Christians who appropriated it. In the Occupy Movements case it was the “bro culture” that appropriated it. In The Black Lives Matter Movement, it was the LGBTQ community that appropriated it. These seem to be the three groups that have an archetypal form that accommodate to the means of corporatism’s “Too Big to Fail” ends the most.

The Art of Appropriation

As of April 2026, it has become abundantly clear that we are in the midst of a psychological revolution that has been ongoing for some time now. The nature of our perception has shifted due to confluences in misinformation and disinformation that stem from mass media gaslighting and estrangement-effecting. These manufactured confluences inundate us in a myriad of forms – sometimes propaganda, sometimes satirical edits, sometimes just plain old malicious lying. But whatever the case, there is no denying that this sickening flux has left everyone in an ongoing state of disbelief for years on end now. So much so that we continuously suspend our disbelief just to get by, and as the days, months and years in suspension accrue, our momentary relapses of clarity only estrange us from our previous common senses even more. It’s an assaulting downward spiral that’s inducing a nausea we must reject in the name of sanity and cognitive sovereignty, even if the momentary clarity’s we are afforded are becoming more scarce in supply.

One such moment of clarity came to me earlier this month as I witnessed the firing of US Attorney General Pam Bondi. She was fired for not meeting President Trump’s expectations even as she was performatively compliant to his will. What was so baffling about the firing was that she was a devout follower of his word and enthusiastic performer of his agenda. She did everything he asked and still got the boot. What made the firing so unprecedented was not only the absurdity of it, but the speed too. She is now the shortest serving female Attorney General in US history along with being the 6th shortest serving Attorney General in US history overall (Trump now has 3 of the top 6). She entered stage left just as quickly as she exited stage right. This firing tore a new vortex of estrangement into the collective conscious for us to normalize, and as we passively normalize it, we’ll have plateaued a new order of magnitude to Trump’s role in the “Mythos Americana.” Pushing the acceptable boundaries of his manipulation abilities even further. With this latest move, he has now bewildering established himself as an ‘oz’ like grand wizard archetype, transcending and consolidating all previous archetypal brands he embodied before this new form.

In ‘White Savior Complex Reloaded’ it was shown how aspiring strongmen use a racially sensationalized form of “correct patriotism” to platform their political cult of personality aspirations. Fortunately for Trump, he had already engineered a decently sized cult of personality before he entered politics thanks to his nepotistic “Real Estate Mogul” branding. To his credit though, he exercised that branding all the way to the white house assisted, in part, by brand merging at the time with a widespread white savior complex mandate rooted in birtherism and “anti-wokeness." Thereupon as result, Trump came to in 2016 on the political stage branded by the populace as both a mogul and a white savior.

At the time it was evident that his cult following was made mostly of White Americans, but no one knew to what degree their occult devotion afforded him agency. Over the last 10 years, we have bewildering been exposed to just how much agency Trump has been afforded by White America and it is staggering. He has been able to single-handedly lead an international white revolution disguised as retribution.

What makes the Bondi firing so pivotal within this retribution arc though is that it symbolizes a ceiling that has been realized. It shows his followers that devotion and compliance are no longer enough to suffice his ambition. The grand wizard now demands a level of submission so unconditional that logic and ethic must be discarded entirely. Do exactly as I say at all costs, even to your professional reputation, or else. It has proven to be a humiliation ritual that many whites and aspiring-whites view as a bridge too far given the hard results of his “revolution” up to now.

In ‘Secret Wars’ I mentioned how Tucker Carlson was at the beginning stages of that rejection; he has since admitted and apologized to his audience for ‘misleading’ them. In ‘The Civilization Myth’ I mentioned how Europe was now having to make the decision of whether or not they would submit to the grand wizard in the name of sustaining the privileges ‘White Christian’ settler colonialism bestowed upon them. From all early indications it seems Europe is also in the beginning stages of rejecting to submission.

People projected a lot of hopes onto Trump that he’s yet to live up to, and even though the same can be said about any post-modern politician, what makes Trump different is that this particular hope attached to him was an explicitly racist one. There is no getting around it. With the election and tenure of the 1st Black American president, White America felt as though they were falling behind, and wanted a redeemer, and donned Trump to be that. Only to find out, not only was their race war already a lost cause, but by electing him and subscribing to his cult, they forfeited the class war to the top 1%. Consequently, a great dispossession has surfaced atop the horizon, rising in scope, closing ground, and will soon crash upon our shores. Consequently, what it will bring with it is a new gilded age like nothing we’ve ever seen before.
