They’re Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud Again
Repetition, triggers, and the early signals that reveal the plan
Andrew Tate is fond of saying that if you want to know what’s going to happen, just listen to what the media is talking about. Tate has been jestermaxxing lately, prancing like a tit on X, claiming the Iran war is a psyop and Dubai is perfectly safe – probably to ingratiate himself further with the Emiratis – and the spectacle is total cringe, but on the former point, he is spot on: The corporate media uses neurolinguistic programming to get us ready for whatever is coming down the pipeline.
With this in mind I thought I’d turn on the mainstream news this morning to sample the propaganda and in less than 30 minutes the phrase “the government hopes to avoid heavy-handed Covid style mandates” was repeated half a dozen times. This tells me one thing:
Heavy-handed Covid style mandates are not only likely, but already in the pre-rollout stage and not merely a worst-case contingency, but integral to the plan.
Covid conditioned us. Now renewed media signalling primes us. Then when the hammer falls again, we will shrug it off as inevitable.
And the ghost of Edward Bernays quietly applauds.
NOTE: In wartime the news moves fast, so I may periodically drop shorter bulletin type posts such as this for the duration of the current situation to allow myself greater agility. These will not have the philosophical rigor or linguistic polish of my longer essays which usually comprise ~3 days’ work, but I hope they will provide useful real-time reaction to events as they unfold – particularly from the Australian perspective.
You know this script; already the Albanese Government is following a familiar playbook which anyone who was even semi-conscious in March 2020 will recall:
Phase 1: Delay – there’s nothing to worry about
Phase 2: Prime – this could get bad, but we hope it won’t (this is where we are now)
Phase 3: React – for reasons outside our control it’s worse than anyone expected
Phase 4: Normalise – be a good Australian and do the right thing (likely fuel, food and travel rationing)
To many, this escalation matrix may appear to be grounded in incompetence – and there’s no shortage of that in Canberra – but inept though our politicians are it is not their lack of ability which drives this. We must consider what came before – the slow but steady roll away from energy independence over the past few decades, the outsourcing to far flung supply chains and reliance on ineffectual ‘renewables’ – these were all part of a supranational agenda which these apparatchiks were simply administering, and so was Covid, and so is the current crisis... at least in part.
Indeed the average member of parliament, senator, or cabinet minister requires no more intelligence than a call centre operator, perhaps less, and their job right now, along with their offsiders at ABC, Sky, Nine News etc, is to act as a sluice-gate for public feeling; to manage and massage our fears and outrage in the direction of acceptance, gradually ratcheting our expectations down so that when Phase 4 rolls out there is minimal resistance.
In the immediate and imminent side effects of the Iran war we see the creation of conditions amenable to the furtherance of The Great Reset agenda – essentially a perfect confluence of economic, financial and social crises which can and will be used to sell the public on extraordinary centralisation of power.
At the same time, several of the Great Reset’s utopian goals are achieved – a dramatic reduction of fossil fuel use and reduced emissions. It is also the perfect pretext to decondition us from our reliance on air travel, private vehicle transport and animal protein.
Despite a distinct lack of publicity for the past few years, The Great Reset is alive and well – and I predicted that it would survive the initial public backlash and come back even stronger in my essays BlackRock Has a New Name for ESG and The End of ESG.
What is happening now may not be entirely driven by the Agenda 2030 goals, but it is certainly conducive to them, and it is entirely likely that Zionist, BlackRock CEO and World Economic Forum Chair Larry Fink had to sign off before Netanyahu and Trump started dropping bombs.
Thus, we see the convergence of two distinct but linked programs: the Great Reset and the Greater Israel project. Importantly these can coexist because their objectives are not mutually exclusive and, in some cases, perfectly aligned: both envision a new world hegemony under a technocratic, AI-driven surveillance state. It is logical that a Pax Judaica could fit the bill.
It is possible Israel would have gone regardless, dragging a clearly compromised President Trump with them on their crusade but there is enough commonality across the two agendas to suggest a happy marriage of convenience and crucially, the clownish response of our perennially inept politicians is not accidental – they have not been caught napping: war with Iran and resulting energy shock has almost certainly been gamed out as a precursor for the next phase of the Great Reset which is why the script sounds so familiar.
In the next few weeks, after repeating the trigger words “heavy-handed Covid style mandates” hundreds of times the government and its media mouthpieces will announce that for reasons completely beyond their control we are indeed experiencing another global crisis and then we will move into the well-trodden territory of privation and compliance and, like before, they will invoke the spirit of the Blitz – things are tough but keep calm and carry on, stay safe, be kind and be a good citizen.
This does not necessarily mean we are headed for another lockdown – but the term becomes moot at a certain point: if travel beyond our own neighbourhood (15-minute city) becomes unaffordable and food shortages make grocery shopping the primary household activity – then is there any meaningful difference between 2026 and 2020?
Even if the Iran situation resolves six months, a year, two years down the line, the Covid experience has taught us that consumer prices will not revert to pre-crisis levels but remain elevated. And even if the oil starts flowing freely again and the world economy on the other side largely resembles the pre-2026 situation, the protracted energy crunch will have conditioned us yet further towards an unstable world in which continuous disruption and cost of living hikes are the norm – and this is the psychological habituation implicit in the language of the Great Reset.
A colleague of mine who is in her mid-twenties remarked this week that she feels her entire adult life has been one crisis after another. I wanted to say: that’s exactly what you’re meant to feel, and become accustomed to.
It could be that I’m being too pessimistic and an offramp may be swiftly resolved but there is little evidence of this so far. Either way, the signals from the media will reliably indicate where things are headed – we need only listen out for the phrases that are repeated with an unnatural frequency.
And so, while sounding counterintuitive, it might pay to keep an eye on the nightly news and apply the Tate logic – just don’t do that ridiculous dance because this is already an utter clown show.
