Rich Man's Trick

A resurgence of the 2014 JFK to 9/11: Everything is a Rich Man's Trick is making rounds as more "red pills" make their way into the dark abyss that is realizing most of us have been bot and sold since before our time.

Each time a new contrived crisis arises, skeptics (like myself) will begin highlighting inconsistencies in the narrative being crafted and look for signs that a racket is being formed. Each time this process commences, it introduces a new crop of people (usually young adults) for whom this is the first time they are struck with the idea that the government and other authority agencies may not be acting as honestly as they should, and may not be acting with their best interests in mind.

Looking into the current crisis, many will ask the next logical question - "If they're lying to me about this, what else are they lying about?".  This, ironically, creates a zombie effect on all previously known conspiracies as their minds try to grasp the vast expanse of fuckery that has shaped our history.

I say it's ironic, because I imagine there are some conspiracies that are - lets say resolved as quietly as possible - decades later through released documents and lawsuits that vindicate the generation that lived through the hell first-hand. Bringing these to light again years later creates an inflation of what I call "legitimized conspiracy capital".  The old tropes of "that only happened once!" or "that was how many years ago?!"  lose power as citation after citation mounts to a rapid indictment that of course this is just "War on Terror 2.0" or "9/11 all over again"

Which brings us to Rich Man's Trick - which bubbled up on social media recent as all this quarantine free time means lots of time to watch conspiracy documentaries.

But oddly enough, for a documentary that's now 6 years old, the reaction is... not what I was expecting.  It seemed to me, that this particular documentary had the brilliant effect of duping the viewer into an ideological illusion right before their very eyes. It regularly enjoys favorable reviews pretty much all around, with only a few "JFK theory purists" arguing against the JFK segments, but almost no one calling the entire piece out for what it more than likely really was: a piece as guilty of selective revelation it was purporting to admonish.

If you haven't seen it, and have the time (and mental fortitude) to watch three-and-a-half hours of depressing Orwellian expose, it actually really is a good documentary for a slice of the perspective it presents- and to that end I recommend it for introducing the viewers to, at the very least, a short order list shady characters and organizations that were often in our blind spots over the past two centuries.

Either way - try to apply the very same rules to it that it's attempting to teach you about doctored narratives. Scrutinize the entire piece on what it may very well really be:

A cleverly written piece of Communism propaganda or worse, just another CIA controlled expose designed to give the masses "something interesting to think about" that ultimately leads to contrived and controlled reaction.

Now, if you've seen it before, you might be thinking "Wait.. Communist propaganda?" Where was Karl Marx slipped in amidst what seems to be a grand tale about the sad fate of John F. Kennedy?.

Here's few clues to consider:

1. The film only ever even mentions Communism as the "real fear" that the rich are constantly defending against, but without speaking out against it as a core belief.
2. In its deep scope of history and revealing corruption, it spends almost no time talking about the Cold War.
3. It mentions Mao for a half a second related to some kind of "get more Asians to smoke" scheme, but avoids some juicy Sidney Rittenberg ties to molding Xi Jinping?
4. The only talks about Castro are in light of his ties to the CIA and the Bay of Pigs, but avoids the Cuban Missile Crisis and how Kennedy may have had back channels into Moscow.
5. So many opportunities to implicate ties to countries with communist regimes but it instead spends all of its time throwing everyone on the Allies side under the bus for their "wealth based ideologies" 

Weird right?  But what's one of the rules? Oh yeah: Keep a low profile

See, a documentary like this doesn't have to slip in a Karl Marx quote to lure you in, that would be too obvious. It simply needs to knock down all the other rackets - monarchies, capitalism, fanaticism - and leave you peering into an uncertain, an empty space to which there is the only remaining choice...

No no, not Communism - you aren't there yet - it has to lead you to Revolution, first.

So just like that, after reinforcing that the casino is rigged at all levels because they own the police, the military, the justice system, everything, that's when they slip in that call to action, right about that 3:22:22 mark.

"The only way to change our corrupt system is through revolution. Everyone has to sign up now to our revolution website. And then the people have to march on Washington" "And they need to kick him (Obama) and every other corrupt politician out and take power, genuinely, for the people's sake!"

But wait - I thought the problem was Ford? and Dupot? and Exon Mobile? the Rockafellers? the mob bosses out on the fringe? I thought the CIA would have run dry if only the customers didn't want that sweet, sweet cocaine and heroin?

The call to revolution is clever because it sets up a perfectly logical set of dominoes:

1. Remove the politicians that have been letting the fat cats get away with murder
2. Make those fat cats pay now that they can't hide behind the government
3. Redistribute the wealth and decide capitalism is too greedy for it's own good
4. And finally - figure out NEW rules s that will stop wealth consolidation from happening ever again....

The logical chain of events leads right down the same path that many countries have walked down before - and woe onto us if whoever leads us down that path turns out to be another Castro or Mao who flips the script on us when we get to step 4, right?

It may be a straw-man the film, nor Francis, were attempting to make. But even then it's a line of unintended consequence that could fuel a Sander's Supporter type mentality into a fools gold idea that Engineering of Consent isn't still alive and well in 2020.

You want a real revolution that doesn't require trying to take on mob families or devil worshiping lizard people head on?  Just stop buying dumb shit.

Become self sufficient. If you buy things, spend a little more on things that last 10 years rather than 6 months and upkeep them rather than throwing them away.

Save your money. Demand banks give us more than a pittance of a return on our savings accounts, accounts they leverage virtually to make money off of our money, or threaten to pull out.

Do things like this, and watch the rich choke on their lack of ROI without having to lift a single freedom-fighting-finger.

And when you suddenly find a new crop of shape shifting companies pretending to be ethical and Nazi-Mob-Free? Don't give them a single dollar until we trace their financials and company heads  back all the way up the chain.

And most importantly? Be ready to walk away. Abandon them completely the moment they sell out.

Could you imagine, when Facebook started undermining our digital privacy and practicing experimental censorship, if we all just collectively said  "turn that shit off or we're going back to MySpace?" That's the attitude you have to have with these people to shackle that contrived "invisible hand of the market" to our will as the workers who actually contribute value rather than simply bet on it.
