Puppet master's guide - Part 2 - razzle-dazzle

: history, May 21 2021 ▶

Cambridge Dictionary on “razzle-dazzle” meaning:
UK: (confusion caused by) noisy and noticeable activity or very colourful appearance, intended to attract attention
US: showy appearance or performance, intended to attract attention or cause confusion.

Being a good puppet master means “staying in the shadow”. The audience will boo you (and, in our case, carry your dead carcass on their pitchforks around the world) if your performance is a sloppy one, revealing the performer, instead of just playing with the puppet. It is not always easy. One may think just keeping utmost secrecy about your activities will do. Wrong! It will not! There will always be a bunch of smart, curious people, who you somehow failed to turn into the beloved sheep. These pesky brats will dig into your dirt constantly. So you need a diversion...

1. The diversion has to be something, that everybody agrees with and is presented as undeniable fact. How about ECOLOGY? A million scientists say humanity is destroying the planet – which is an absolute truth, but you do not care – power is more important. Some things your propaganda machine should just “forget” to mention:
- where is the undeniable proof about the man-made climate change;
- what would be the impact over the “western lifestyle”, the actual cost and who will pay it;
- how exactly does the westerners plan to force 3rd world countries to play along, especially the ones with the population exploding over 1billion (today China’s crypto mining CO2 output supposedly surpassed the carbon footprint of Italy);
- the solar activity cycles - yeeah, the giant nuclear ball has absolutely no effect on the tiny blue dot
- how a single volcano eruption is compared to the yearly CO2 output? What about other natural disasters?
Just bash the citizens with:
- drive electric cars (10+ years to reach down the same level of emissions as casual cars IF you do not replace the battery)
- do not eat meat – cows fart so your burger destroys the environment (but fracking is perfectly safe)
- do not travel – planes are bad, cars are bad, stay at home and order stuff online … packets will just appear on your doorstep, no CO2 involved. In the meantime you will become dumb as a doorknob. Most of your social relations will collapse.
- it is your duty to preserve the environment (disregarding the other ¾ of the human race who are not so lucky to live in the “flourishing, western type” society and who mostly do not know what ecology means or is occupied with survival and does not care)
- elect ecologists as politicians – they will know what to do… and will definitely not be the insolent, arrogant and utterly incompetent puppets
- climate change is your fault, you are guilty and should feel bad – again, completely ignore what is happening outside Europe, North America and Australia. “Their climate” has nothing to do with “our climate”.
- nuclear power is the worst – we also need to shut down every other alternative. The “cheap and reliable” solar and wind energy will keep us, and what is left of the economy, afloat. Don’t mind these will occupy house/farm land, that costs thousands of times more than the energy production in their entire operational lifespan.
- buy newer, shinier, eco-friendly stuff (and boost even more the planned obsolescence, as all you need is just the "ECO" sticker).

2. The diversion may also be something people think they enjoy.
- Using some psychology, you can easily find methods, to trick human mind to get false sense of satisfaction. Create some shell companies to implement these brilliant ideas. Call them something commonly acceptable, positive ... how about “social media”? You will not be the first to create such (websites for example), so you will have to boost them with something from the top-secret drawer, or just rain pure cash on them until it is done. Their previous competition stands no chance! These social media will engulf all the people’s attention and spawn minor, short-term distractions on their own – bland games, pointless movies, (my all-time-favorite!) influencers, etc. As a bonus you will get the easiest-ever, instant access to all of the sheep’s private information. I mean everything! Pictures, conversations, thoughts, secrets. Use the same platform to create the proper social scoring for everyone, but deny you are doing it. The propaganda machine is really useful when you have to point the herd into your desired direction – elections, social choices, movements. They will be so razzle-dazzled by all the misinformation and fake news, that the line between reality and fiction will just disappear.
- you will stamp as a conspiracy theorist, Querdenker (German – meaning “thinking across the mainstream, thinking differently”), misogynist, racist, anti-vaxxers etc. all who stand against your agenda. The “social” media will censor arbitrary and indiscriminately (but most importantly on your desire) any opponent, any deviation from the mainstream. It is a private enterprise – of course they can do whatever they want in their own premises.
- any watered-down, talentless form of art/sports will do, if it is promoted enough.

3. War, war never changes (“Fallout”) – a reliable but a bit old-fashioned and expedient trick. There is no better distraction than sending your own people to die. Just make the proper excuse first and do it convincingly enough. Social media will help a lot, for reference use the 1997 “Wag the dog” movie. If needed topple a building or two, or claim some genocide occurring (it may be happening for centuries, but who cares), liberate some poor people from their horrible dictator (one of your expendable puppets, of course). It will trigger additional “dazzling” events like a rigged refugee wave, where 90% are 18-30 y.o. men, with $10K in their pockets (normally they would not be able to save that much in their entire life), with the newest and most expensive phones and no identity documents whatsoever. Refer to Part 1 of the guide where you destroy the middle class by destroying the core of the society and its social system. Make the vasals of your “main-stage-country” join the war effort, so they will also take any retaliation hit. Install “the democracy”, ignoring any local cultural specifics. What’s the worst that can happen – another vasal? The best outcome is total and absolute chaos, so the country will take forever to recover, and this is exactly the water you want to swim in.

4. Hide all technology, that may be used to hinder your agenda (in other words - to resolve the problems you cause). Keep the people busy and distracted. Boost only useless tech, but release it slowly, so you can pick all the cash possible. 40-inch TV this year? Oh boy, wait and see the 42-inch for the next. Naah, you do not need new type of batteries, Li-ion from 1970 will do just fine. All new software will be so poorly written (using the newest frameworks and methods), that it will require 100 times the computing power for doing the same thing, so here is our top-of-the line processors. Private datacenters will have to move to the cloud, for convenience, stability, and security (guess whose). Want to watch an influencer shake her ass online – just get a new phone each year. Let’s allow companies to destroy their own hardware remotely, so the sheep can buy more of it – that is perfectly legal. Make repairing your own tech illegal (I can think of only one country to have a judges who accept this in their right mind).

5. Experiment with the public health. If a person faces immediate danger to his/her own health, chances are he/she will start to think and act irrationally (and will not focus on the mess you make). Carefully plan different attack vectors:
- GMO food and dubious food additives, with uncertain long-term effect, not only to humans, but also to the environment. Treated with the same unsafe pesticides. Slap "clinically tested" on everything, so when the truth comes out, people start doubting the scientists, rather then the system itself.
- engineer some disease. It should not be very lethal, nor dangerous, but contagious. The point is not to kill. It is to confuse, remember? Push your government-puppets to take the most ridiculous and illogical decisions to tackle it. Vaccines will first be "untested", then "declined", then "adopted with caution", then replaced with "yearly booster vaccines" and so on...Make more money, dazzle! Repeat each year-or-two.
- Make the general health care achievable only by the relatively rich people. Treat (but not heal) the others with handful of drugs to the point of animal-like-obedience or utter health state failure.
- Pretend to fight illegal drugs, but in reality use them as a hefty source of income. Both ways work - first you can siphon money from "the war on drugs" and second you will be a player on the same market.
- Use high-frequency emitters on all new tech - the sheep want to watch their favorite influencer making her nails on Ultra High HD, while driving on the highway with 200km/h - just give it to them. Their brains will slowly fry - even better!

6. Introduce as many unnatural-to-frankly idiotic ideas such as:
- a person having no gender (or being part of 57 genders)
- flat Earth
- being jobless/unskilled/lazy your entire life is just fine
- cryptocurrencies (at this day, just the cryto-mining chugs more energy than all wind and solar farms combined) and the "freedom" they offer. Do not let the government-puppets regulate them anyhow, as this will be the major source for money-laundering and all kinds of illegal value exchange.
- make the media close their eyes for everything - even for the worst acts of racism and double standards

- or -

- stun the entire movie and TV audience with forced genderism and racial bias. Make James Bond a black female - why not? It worked so well with the Ghost Busters remake and the latest Star Wars garbage. At this point you do not care neither about the money (I mean from the movie industry) nor about the progress, all you need "gender/racial correctness". People with different colors (strangely, white is still considered a color) will love each other even more after that.
