PostScript - Lessons from Factional Conflict & Elections in the House of Lies

The inorganic nature of recent political events became obvious some time ago. We called it The Script. Now that it's played out, this is what it looks like. 

.

If you are new to the Band, this post is an introduction to the point of this blog that needs updating. Older posts are in the archive on the right. Shorter occult posts and other topics have menu pages above. 

Comments are welcome, but moderated for obvious reasons. If you don't see it right away, don't worry. We check and it will be up there.

Now that some unknowables have resolved, we can fill in a bit around The Script. The link is to a Substack post, where we can put out short pieces at a time where longform isn’t really viable. But this scenario pulls together enough threads and themes that it’s too big for over there. The Band is the venue where all the parts can be properly dealt with. One thing that hasn’t changed is our attitude towards how and why. We have no inside information and therefore no way to assess motives, reasons, or inner processes. The mechanism of the House of Lies is a black box. It’s a small price of choosing to operate outside of it in the overall scheme of things.

It's like a toxic spill. You can see it contaminating nature and even identify some of it's harmful properties without knowing it's chemical composition.

This post will flesh out The Script as we now can understand it with the new data from the election. The overall pattern was confirmed, and that lets us settle a few of the variables. We still have no idea how or why in the big picture, but we can see more of how it worked on the specific level. This ties into a number of things that have come up here and on the Substack. Giving a clearer picture of the operational landscape. And some inkling of what to look for going forward. On a more personal note, our respect for the unknown Scriptwriters’ competence has grown geometrically. Morality aside, what can be seen of their reactive perception and ability to learn and adapt is astounding. This is another data point - whatever the agenda, it’s likely to be exquisitely planned from a position of strategic advantage. 

The caveat here, as always, is ultimately to judge by the fruits. 

This is one of those quotes that is universally profound. We can't know other's minds or true intentions. Burt we can see if their words and actions line up. Handsome is as handsome does, to put it another way.

Opting for objectively false words over objectively observable actions is one of the CLI/FTS-2 [Functionally Two Species Model 2] symptoms.

Bu the fruits, The Script suggests competence and foresight at this point in time. At this point in time. If the faction quickly morphs into a 2016-style tool shed, we have to throw out that projection. Narrative compression is what we’re calling the fatal tendency to act and think like things that have changed didn’t. When even the most likely forecast doesn’t turn out, it’s imperative to drop the old assumption and absorb the new reality. 

Narrative compression is a result of CLIs [Can't Learn from Information  - see link for more] amassing information pulses. There's no logical connection between those as in real life events. Only a vague emotional impression that they can trigger and direct. This means a character arc doesn't register as a single coherent entity. So if an impulse imprints, it doesn't change with the character. When in reality the Trump of 2016 has little to do with the Trump in The Script. It's imperative for any analysis - even casual armchair - to keep up.

Generally people don't really change. Sometimes they do. For any number of reasons. When trying to anticipate directions, be attentive to the difference.

In a scripted narrative, it's clear by the fruits. The character simply changes.

The Script is what we call the obviously inorganic pattern of recent political events.

The Substack link goes into more detail if interested. It’s typical of how we look ahead - focusing on overall directions in the flow of events instead of building from specific details. There's too much context to account for if you don't start by getting a handle on the big picture outlines. The Macro-Arc is the most archetypal example of this process. The limitation is like qualitative statistics. Reading population trends that are made up of countless discreet entities. Any two of which may be radically different from each other when observed up close. Practically speaking, it means we can see where the big picture has to go, but not the paths that get it there. There’s always an element of horrified fascination watching how the masses self-immolate. The Script became visible when it was apparent was that events were unfolding in a pseudo-narrative way. Not causal chains the way real life does.

An older graphic shows the difference. Real life follows causal logic. Pseudo narrative is a sequence of unrelated things that FTS-2 takes as "meaningful".

The Script is more refined.

It takes the naturally logically unrelated events and packages them as if they were following an organic chain.

This requires elements of systemic control. Especially when aggressively counter-programmed. No idea how this was possible. But by the fruits, it's what the big picture looked like empirically. And since reality is real and truth stays true, our lack of understanding is irrelevant. Events were proceeding in an inorganic, structured way. A narrative that wasn't describing or reacting to natural chains of events but spinning implausible events into a familiar arc. Again, no idea how this is done. Just recognition that the things were unfolding in a different way than was generally assumed. It's still almost impossible for most to see it.

Comprehension limits have no bearing on what happened. And when you're in a new landscape, you need a new roadmap.

Realizing events are following an artificial narrative for whatever reason meant changing analytical frames. The standard motivators weren't going to be relevant. Or of secondary importance at best. The House of Lies isn't as directly orchestrated as binarists think. Because overlapping agendas within a common direction has more than two colors. Apparatchiks perform tasks with degrees of independence - it's how pillars keep going regardless of what might shift elsewhere. In this case, the players are unknowable, the visible agents unable to influence narrative direction, and the general plot easy to make out. If we're going to read and react to it, we need to approach it like a plotted story. Q did remind everyone to enjoy the show. Hence "The Script". And an approach that's closer to critic than analyst.

Charles Joseph Travies De Villiers, Literary Criticism, caricature of literary critics removing passages from books that displease them, 1830, color lithograph, Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs, Paris

There's always a figurative violence to criticism. Even positive. It comes from having to pull pieces out of context as examples. Breaking the organic integrity that defines every work of art as such.

The most important observation from the new perspective was the structure of the narrative. Things come clear when you know how to look at them. The Script was unfolding or realizing the same basic beats that Q had wrapped up with four years ago. This was a blast from the past. Q was something we paid attention to at the time. Some of the information proved useful to us in different ways. But there were reasons we never jumped on board that became stronger in hindsight. It wasn't organic or really reality-facing - more later - and just faded out. Any time it came up, it seemed like a vaguely silly memory from another time. A couple of important observations follow.

The truth stays true. Or be aware of the power of programming on the meta narrative direction level. It's subtle and insidious. For example, why did the Q narrative seem distant and vaguely silly when the things that first drew our attention were never resolved? 

The whole basket of high weirdness and suspension of any organic rationale in whatever that last government was just sat there. The lesson is the power of the House of Lies to pulse the NPC collective into a zeitgeist or cultural unconscious. That even Can Learn from Informations get influenced by from living in the culture or ziet. Recall that the Q counter-programming was all-spectrum and all level across the House of Lies. Aggressive suppression and ridicule. A discrepancy that should have triggered interest if learning from information were possible. More on that in a moment. 

The Q-Script narrative being the same confirmed the inorganic directed nature of of events that we had noticed. The whole big picture snaps into focus it's realized “you’re watching a show” positions Q and us inside the performance, not outside. As unwitting players, not knowing audience. But that's all just an impression. Nothing that can be shared with anyone unable to conceptually see at that width. The neon technicolor tell was that the plot hewed closely to the Biblical resurrection story. For two concrete reasons.

1. Any writer knows there aren’t many canonical plot types. And everyone knows real life doesn’t fall neatly into structures like the hero's journey or Rule of Three. To the degree that when events do resemble a narrative, it's noteworthy. Seeing a narrative stick closely to one of the big ones was an example of conclusive single-data point pattern recognition. The alignment requires external plotting.

2. The chosen plot was the one most likely to resonate with a Christian base. The memes write themselves. Events falling into a plot-like pattern isn’t absolutely conclusive. Coincidence is real and we are conditioned to understand reality through media narrative. The plot-like pattern happening to be the most rhetorically ideal is.

The continuity of truth is essential for understanding what we can of this House of Lies because it deliberately distorts, buries, or fabricates. Official narratives do not keep accurate accounts of what happened. And as we’ve written many times, things that are true remain true, even when ignored. If anything happens to change the narrative course, take note and adjust accordingly. If not, it keeps on being true. Logical conclusions lying fallow are still logical conclusions. Understanding improves over time because truthful points can be accumulated into a growing picture. 

Structure is self-evident. What we can can infer is what matters.

Even MAGA memers can see the scripted nature of it all. Because most people think in narrative. It resonates in the preconscious base code. Not that The Script has wrapped, some inferences are possible. Confirmation and clarification of some deductions along with a few inclinations as to where this may be heading. First point.

There is a House of Lies. Who is at the apex is unknowable. We assume it’s metaphysical - the only way to account for the macro-continuity. But it is carried out by real people through real physical and cultural structures. The structural part isn’t intrinsically inverted. There’s no reason schools can’t disseminate knowledge or hospitals prioritize health. Some aspects are more suspect. But in general, the House of Lies is institutional capture and socio-behavioral control. The problem with all the monolithic, TPTB, reductive doltcasting is that is completely misses how any hierarchical organization actually operates in real life. Fantasy dark lord projection onto the competitive and confusing structures of any human hierarchy. Thinking in narrative.

James Panarella, The Politics of Hell, imaginary AD&D 1e book based on Alexander von Thorn's The Politics of Hell, Ed Greenwood's two-part The Nine Hells and his Nine Hells Revisited in Dragon magazine

This imaginary 1e volume takes up the Nine Hells - the plane of absolute Lawful Evil in AD&D cosmology. Law is pure structure, yet the domain of Lawful Evil is the most Machiavellian, convoluted, snake pit of intrigue and scheming. The Hell metaphor seems appropriate for a hierarchical integrated House of Lies. Elements are always in opposition as they try to climb the ladder. 

If the end of the Ontological Hierarchy is Sorathic evil - absolute opposition to Creation - these guys are Aharamaic evil.

Next up...

Conflicting factions exist within it. Whether Sorathic and Aharamaic or some other breakdown, this is now observable fact, not logical conclusion. The continuity between Q and The Script confirms it. 

Consider that Q appears shortly after the Trump win. The reality-facing outsider campaign that fired us up slammed headlong into the swamp. Priebus like creatures were suddenly lurking and grass-roots initiatives like the list of outsider hires went down the memory hole. No idea what actually happened. But the timing of inauguration, clowns, and Q lines up perfectly. While accounting for the inexplicable change in attitude that a lot of Trump followers still struggle with.

Narrative compression comes in here. 

Franz Stuck, Lucifer, 1890 to 1891, oil on canvas, National Gallery for Foreign Art, Sofia, Bulgaria

This is where a character changes in narrative time but the consoomer keeps acting like their pre-change claims still matter.

A lot of people held on to insurgent campaign Trump long after his own factional status was different.

The timeline gives the clearest account. The insurgent outsider hit clown reality in some way and the Scriptwriter faction responded in haste. The agenda switch follows from the two not being 100% sympatico. But there's reason for hope for some improvement in the assumption that they're at least in the same time zone. Our assumption was that this was the only available course of action given the compressed timeframe and extent of clown institutional capture.

This was sufficient to indicate some facts. 

1. Whatever Q was, it was obvious that clown world opposition to it was real. The all-channel two prong strategy cancelled any mention of it in every beast venue and rebranded it in the House of Lies as wackjob conspiracy. To the point where even followers distanced themselves.

Chuck "The Legend" Dixon, Alt-Hero Q graphic novel, Arkhaven Comics, 202

The Band was always agnostic on Q because we couldn’t know what it was. Not at first, anyhow. It was more honest than the House of Lies. Calling out elite corruption and perversion in pretty direct ways. 

But it also wasn’t organic. There were certain corners of the hall of truth that it stayed away from. Key pillars of the House of Lies were upheld. So it was system related in some way too.

Dixon's take is a thrill ride that has aged well. Q is a system creature. Not knowing more, no reason not to imagine a benevolent action hero. Unfortunately hard copies are sold out, but the story can be read in full on Arktoons' webtoons type comic site. 

The information made Q worth paying attention regardless of the story. But that means being aware of the story. And that made recognizing inorganic structures inevitable. One of the biggest Biblical narrative beats was telling the believers they’d be mocked and reviled, but keep the faith regardless. Echoing Jesus’ first followers. Fast forward, and one of the early signs The Script was telling the same story was the way it built off the idea of Trump's "resurrection" and resulting eucatastrophe. Not so much as one signle event, but how the Q ending was picked up within the unfolding Script narrative.

And the beast really did oppose Trump and then Q with all guns blazing. No one with a functional memory can miss the difference between the all-out onslaught and the relative change in tone this time around. Some binary thinking mental self-cripples seem to think a monolithic beast agenda inexplicably changed. Despite the obvious reality of opposing factions that was just clearly pointed out. We've called binary thinking a curse in past posts. Anyone postulating an omnipotent, omnescient "powers that be" without any logical analysis of the full landscape has no place on the internet. The black-pilled idiocy serves the illusory psychological warfare of the very demons they claim to be worried about. A more useful service if public forums prove irresistible would be to drink bleach. We're told TPTB say it's tasty...

The all-spectrum, all-level kindling of TDS was one of the main factors leading us to the Functionally Two Species model and all the CLI and House of Lies stuff that followed. FWIW, binary thinking retards were another.

We can now see that pulsing certain NPCs into that level of total frothing psycho-emotional overload seared the insanity into them forever. Q got pulled under by the same tsunami. Except for the believers. Their problem is believing one side really is pure and righteous - binary us and them, not two thems in a hall of illusion. But they were correct to recognize that the narrative was an accurate representation of what was going on in the system to some degree. They were mocked. And he is back. That deserves some recognition.

Anyone with mild sentience, 5 minutes, and the internet could easily discover that the same NPCs and House of Lies organs were spewing the same lies, the election fixers were trying the same but it was countered this time.

Why not the all-out resistance melt-down? The factional leaders have conceded. Just as the Script faction conceded in 2020. Without orchestration, it's as effective organically as you'd think. 

In hindsight, another of the closing messages - "you're the news now"  - was a concession that iteration of the plan didn't work. Further confirming the factional opposition was real. 

So what about the Patriots?

2. The Scriptwriters want to keep the underlying House of Lies system. The first Q tell was how dire crimes and grandiose plans kept being revealed but nothing happened. No legal or extra-legal action. Not a glimmer of empirical evidence in the visible operations of the beast-huffers' activities or outcomes to point to as extra-narrative confirmation. The excuses were always some in-game nonsense move. Totally inconsistent with what the picture of secret civil war and children’s lives at stake would look like IRL. Some skeptics dismissed the whole narrative at this point, declaring it fake. But the problem - as always - with commitment to binary misunderstanding is missing all the other stuff. 

Some fantasy art from RPG magazines provide an unlikely visual analogy. 

Den Beauvais, cover art for Dragon Magazine # 83.

The analogy seems like a chess game – ironic given the amount of ridicule of 5D chess. Not for the tactical acumen. For the acceptance of intra-system rules governing extra-systemic responses.

It's clarifying to compare beast narrative beats to how things actually unfold in real life. If engaged in a life-or-death struggle, with massive abuses, crimes, and suffering, you wouldn’t not strike because the media created a fake story as a “distraction”. Nor would you care about “procedure” if the opponent were operating with totally unrestricted chaotic evil malevolence.

Unless committed to the game.

Den Beauvais, cover art for Gygax Magazine # 4. 

Beauvais resumed his magical chess game that had appeared on Four Dragon covers in the 80s for this short-lived revival. To the surprise of no one, it collapsed under retarded lawsuits. 

If committed to the game, victory is only acceptable on its terms. Maintaining the illusion that intrinsic secular transcendence in the system doesn't make creeping authoritarianism and corruption inevitable. The Band spent a lot of time working though the fundamental inversion at the foundation of the system. The logic is beyond dispute. The Scriptwriters appear much more ethical than the clowns. But they don't serve the truth.

Put another way, the mix of extra-systemic real life news and acceptance of the absurd fake rules of the House of Lies is almost designed to confuse NPCs. 

Obviously the story wasn’t coming true. So there was some element of fakeness. But the true information and more accurate picture of reality didn’t lose their truth or accuracy. So some element of realness too. Partly real and partly fake. Enhanced or magical reality. Opposed to clowns and wedded to the system. Two factions, one apparently less evil. But neither committed to reality. 

Real factional conflict between entities committed to the pillars of the system is the only model that fits both conditions.

The reason we're taking the time to go through all this is how clear it becomes once pointed out. It's just logically necessary structure. Who the factions are, what their agendas mean, and how it works are all lost FTS-2 at the realization that there can be different agendas in the same power structure.

There are certain moronisms that are especially grating. “It’s a psy-op” is near the head of the list. Ahead even of non-existent binary omnipotent powers, Both seem like pull-string response that NPCs feel almost compelled to bleat out for some absurd reason. Especially in venues were adults are discussing complexities. What does "psy-op" even mean? Seriously. Concisely define it in a way that accounts for NPC usage. Who is doing it? For what reason?

Any attempt to manipulate psychologically is a psychological operation by definition. Media, Advertising. Education, etc. Manipulating polls is a great example in plain sight.

The Q narrative was obviously aiming for psychological impacts. It was also observably blending real and fake contexts. Any relevant [can learn from information] analysis starts from there.

The answer to the Rubicon quandary follows. Why there was no real opposition to the obvious election fixing from outside the corrupted system? We all witnessed an illegitimate Congress adjudicate its own legitimacy. Whether or not an organic uprising was possible, the Scriptwriters didn’t want one. The weird blend of reality and House of Lies in the Q story had already made that clear, but the 2020 meek-out nailed it down. By the fruits, the system was important enough to them that they’d lose before threatening it. So more confirmation of inter-factional conflict.

Note how a few binarist myopes have claimed their mythic omnipotent overseer "let it happen this time for some convoluted reason that has no alignment with real necessity". The logic traced here makes much more sense. Both factions are committed to the basic foundations of the House of Lies. When Team Script lost the chess games in 2020 and 2022, they accepted the L rather than rock the boat. Team Clown is doing the same. The issue is who is actually in jeopardy. If the dispute is serious enough that someone with actual agency is heading under the bus, things can get kinetic. And NPCs can keep on NPC'n regardless. At this moment, things are fluid. As for the actual policies - need to see who fills the important positions. 

Speaking of the losers, the J6 retardery has been difficult to explain rationally. Nothing about it makes sense. No idea if it was some sort of price of losing, a strategic blunder, a straight-up betrayal, or a mass IQ test. 

But by the fruits, the actual keeping of illegal political prisoners did keep the issue front and center in right-leaning NPC circles. The low-wattage, low-vibrational screen consoomers couldn't fruit fly away to the next shiny object. And that keeps election fraud and clown illegitimacy fresh.

No idea if that hypothesis true, so no intent to build on it. Just note that like everything, what actually happened played directly into The Script. It was the accumulation of these bizarre convergences that made us aware of The Script in the first place.

3. Whoever the Scriptwriters are, they’re competent. Realizing The Script was following the same content beats as final stage Q confirmed the connection between the two. It's not widely noticed even now - probably because the forms or vectors are so different. That, and fruit-fly tier memories. This also reflects back on our representation and reality posts. The two are totally different "forms of representation", but are representing the same message. That’s why having The Script play out fills in more of the picture. The assumption of competence is confirmed by how the Scriptwriters adjusted to the failure of the initial effort. Three of Q's main final points map it out. The Biblical no man shall know the hour and promised of ridicule for keeping the faith was - as noted above - the narrative reveal. [You're the news now] was a concession that "the patriots" weren't really "in control". Yet. 

But [things having to get worse before the strategy can succeed] has turned out to be the most interesting data point to us. Because it tells us that the Scriptwriters discovered FTS-2 was as inexorably real as readers here know. Just years earlier. That's worth a banner...

If future really does prove past, The Script working is proof of competence. According to the timeline, Q used what was available on short notice. Try to spin up an effective counter-narrative with alternative channels. It failed for a reason we've been tracing out over the last while. Most people can't learn from information. It doesn't matter how horrifying if it can't be processed into meaningful activity. The Script shows they learned this specific lesson because it was designed to move NPCs without coherent thought or information. That pseudo-narrative is exactly how CLI types are directed by their screens. The Scriptwriters managed to acquire enough screen control for some direction of their own.

Bigger picture, it explains why there are no truly organic uprisings. Most people aren't capable of self-directed reactions. NPCs are fiercely resistant. The historical reality that there's always an elite faction behind revolution also fits. The portion that are capable of reasoned activity have to have access to communication and information vectors to emotionally pulse the NPCs. And quickly, because the dominant faction will take counter-actions. 

Allyn Cox, Washington Laying the Cornerstone of the U.S. Capitol (DC) in 1793, 1950s, George Washington Masonic National Memorial, Alexandria, VA

Not the "blessing" most consider. Though the little aprons suggest a different "laying" party to come. 

The Script was the perfect adaptation to the communication realities we just noted. If FTS-2 only reacts to emotional pulses, it was necessary to get enough vector control to counter the clown faction. The having to get worse turned into another narrative tell. Things did get a lot worse under the Presidency of the Six Bidens (props to Vox Day for that gem), but as we noted, there was no organic groundswell for Trump. The sense of betrayal among his followers for Jan. 6, the !vax, inability to detect, let alone counter enemies, etc. plus the failure to achieve any lasting positive domestic impact cooled the enthusiasm. Few really cared if he went to jail. But all the while, the narrative unfolded as if they did. 

The first indicator for us was how the course of events "predicted" by Q were unfolding - but without any real coherent causal drivers. Infinity lawfare that no one really cares about erased by SCOTUS decisions no one really cares about. Assassinations that don't add up or seem to have any of the impacts on events a real attempt would. Meanwhile, The Script kept inexorably advancing. The more we paid attention, the more rhetorically loaded obstacles inorganically sprung up and were knocked down. Then came mastery of the dirty tricks games where cuckservatives traditionally played the part of "piñata".

 

We could mention Tim Walz, actual pedophile. With the creepy mannerisms to prove it. But he's a subset of the Harris self-sabotage part of The Script. Whether intended or not. More later. Or the Iwo Jima assassination shot. We have our doubts about that event, but the rhetorical grand slam is obvious. 

How about, the most unlikely galvanizer on the eve of the vote.  Cant say this was orchestrated, because it seems impossible to us. But it's the perfect final example of how The Script just rolls.

Put it together and the conclusion is that the Scriptwriters learned from Q. And then spent the intervening time gaining the institutional control needed to drive events. In ways that could pulse the NPCs into motion. 

Then there was "the Harris Campaign". We noted earlier on Substack that whatever happens to Biden 6 won't impact the outcome of The Script. Just the [how it plays out] details that have to be seen to be known. The worst possible candidate in an act of seeming self-sabotage. Stick to the big picture.

Real factional conflict means that plenty of clown faction types and their NPCs were trying for real. Their media vectors, efforts to vote suppress and cheat, migrant hordes - who are still in play, fake polling, etc. all happened. Even deep operatives were activated - consider the "Republican" talon of the beast apparatchiks that came out for the cackling whore. And her response was increasingly unhinged and obnoxious behavior. Cartoonish blunder after escalating cartoonish blunder, until the fake polls deflated.  We suspect she was jobbing but can't prove it logically like the rest of The Script. And we do have to admit that a respected associate believes she really is stupid and incompetent enough that this was a sincere effort. She is stupid and incompetent enough that we can't rule it out.

The only way to determine is if any serious action taken against well-known faces. If there is and she skates into quiet retirement, we'll know. 

As an aside, it's mildly shocking just how degenerate the clowns became. 

What was different was the preparation and position of strength in the conflict. Twitter and Musk proved an essential parallel communication vector of the sort that didn't exist prior. Screen characters like Tucker Carleson or ultimate weathervane Joe Rogan could rack up huge numbers with lightly limited hangouts. Preserve the overall house of lies while attacking the clown faction. The sprawling alternative media sphere wasn't big enough to change the game on its own, but is a huge addition to any existing faction. And the Six Bidens Era was an abject disaster.

4. Working within the House of Lies + real opposition by clowns = multiple HOL factions. We are staying away from how and why, but it is worth noting a couple of recent developments. We are of the opinion that either covid or the !vax was intended to be much more destructive. Whether because beast incompetence FTW or some counter-action, it clearly wasn't. Ukraine had an obvious outsized importance from the initial reaction. Subsequent reports of money laundering, human trafficking, land buy-ups, biolabs, etc. are on the list of things that don't stop being true. The sheer cost in life and resources is more confirmation. Clown world world sooner self-immolate than lose one seemingly pissant state. So it is obviously super important in some way. And they are losing it. Who knows what consequences things like this could have.

Certain things follow. The first is the significance of the factional conflict. How deep into the hierarchy does it go? We can't comment on this until we see how the transition shakes out. In general, beast huffers means shallow conflict and business as usual. Serious actions mean deeper conflict and kinetic potentials. 

We have no idea what The Scriptwriters' real agenda is. They've captured their House of Lies from their opponents on their narrative terms. They don't tell us what's next. In fact, the beauty of The Script is that it is specific policy-free. We assume from the opposition that at least some of their intentions are not clown-friendly. This is likely a net benefit. 

There are also a huge number of shattered NPCs that are incapable of processing even a slight touch of the breaks. Let alone heavy opposition. Many populate media and other House of Lies pillars.

Not sure what can be done with them. Big picture, it's unlikely the US survives as a single polity.  Perhaps this is the root of the inevitable split. In any case, cursory consideration of their idiot babble is sufficient for analysis. The nonsensical hysteria would be amusing were it not a disturbing of a section of the populace personally and emotionally committed to sorathic atavism.

Time passes differently for damaged psyches. FTS-2 can't process information, so they are directed by rhetorical impulses from their screens. The last post mapped how that works. There is a subconscious base code that runs basic activities but is essentially fixed. The conscious mind responds to screens by activating the appropriate base code reaction to the emotional pulse. Directed pulses can lead to a series of actions over time. But emotional bursts are psychically taxing in ways information processing isn't. Especially when so much of it is fear-based. Each hit is a little bit of trauma. One of the early FTS posts surmised that accumulated trauma actually caused the dissociated FTS-2 state. Observing Trump Derangement Syndrome was one of the things leading to the FTS theory. 

The same clods triggered by Trump also tended to be all-in on the covid fear fest. More sustained psychic trauma. "Madman Putin" gave some jolts. Then somehow the Orange Boogieman was back. The loons have reached a state where they no longer resemble functional human beings at all. Already-vulnerable psyches battered until the reptilian core is running the base code. And badly damaged people seem to fixate on things long past any rational person would have moved on. Gamma obsessions are similar. All these freaks find some inane fetish and cling to it with never-dimming urgency. Everfresh. Some of them will be masking for the rest of their pantomime lives. There isn't going to be a reconciliation. That needs a common world. No Script can change this.

Vertically integrated liars.

These toxic broken NPCs are scattered all through out the system. Any resistance from them will be sincere. They can't be pulsed or informed into a new path. Whatever broke them froze their base structure. It's just that without clown control of the House of Lies their effectiveness is limited. Ultimately there will have to be a reckoning, but we're not there yet. 

For forecasting purposes, it goes without saying the critics can be ignored. Either the media liars or NPC detritus. Ditto the mirror of desire nationalist projectionists. There is nothing to indicate the radical 2016 radical lasted a year. The Scriptwriter faction does seem more reality-friendly. And any attempt to clean up the system is a benefit for those not parasiting off it. We harbor no illusions about "democracy" and willingly render unto Caesar regardless. But some engineers make that more productive. 

Whether or not anything concrete happens will soon be clear. This is a new reality chapter in the House of Lies with new players in at least some drivers seats. But one thing came out that caused us to rethink some of our own assumptions around vooting. 

There are two sides here. Our perspective remains that an objectively rigged game is a fool's game. The 2020 election was clearly rigged through various channels. As was 2022. The complete systemic acceptance fueled "Them" delusions. Therefore investing in it is foolishly consenting to the deception.

But by the fruits, The Script pushed hard for votes. We also saw real steps to block the limitless cheating. So obviously it was important for whatever reason to run up certain numbers. Why is irrelevant - illusions of mandate, outpacing what fraud did happen, public mood adjustment, whatever. What matters is that it did. And that could be the next point.

5. Buy in matters to a degree. Or else there wouldn't have been such a push for votes. This is another point that The Script clears up. A common myope bleat is that "They" let it happen. Anyone who payed attention to what actually occurred saw a deft parry of "Their" tricks. Lots of fraud was busted, lots of voter laws upheld, and late-night pauses snuffed IRT by on-call judges. Of course, myopia precludes effectively paying attention.

Thinking about socialization on Sigma Game and on our Substack offers a clue to this disorder. Most smug asserters of myopic idiocy fall into a common pattern. At least the ones whose posting history we are at all acquainted with. There are two driving factors. A compulsion to appear smart, savvy or ahead of the curve in some way. And thought processes that are entirely dominated by emotional investment in the idiocy. The basis in emotion provides the monomaniacal drive to blather about it at every opportunity.

The Script clears up some of the picture. "They" didn't let it happen. "They" got whooped running their old game plan. Whether anything comes of it is beside the point. More than one faction can observably win the pantomime. We've all seen the proof of fixing vote count chart. The myopes really do seem incapable of grasping that "blocking some cheating" completely explains what happened with Ockham's Razor efficiency. A visual aid may make it more obvious.

Simple, isn't it? No omnipotence needed.

Turning the sights back on the all-or-nothing binary thinking morons, countering some cheating doesn't mean no cheating. Harris only winning no voter ID law states is a pretty conclusive tell. Ditto the anomalous counts in down ticket races. The script didn't need to stop it all. There are good reasons why they might not want to. The illusion of a divided country is the black pill. Gathering evidence is the white. No idea, though hope is a virtue. In any case, they just needed to cap the limitless fake vote production to historic levels.

Another visual aid for the coexistance of cheating and controls. 

"And" seems an unlikely choice for conceptual puzzler. We're still mapping the mindscape of FTS-2.

We can also speculate on another opacity in the commentariat. Worrying about "the Dems" completely misses the actual power structure. Admittedly, we're still just seeing it come into view. Parties are systemic channels. A faction has to occupy one of them to vie for House of Lies control. The parties themselves are dictated by their controllers - they have no intrinsic ability to shape events. It's how the manage to reverse positions over time. The clown faction completely coopted the Democrats and most of the Republicans. The Script faction with Trump as face have begun coopting the latter. Consider the spectacle of Cheney campaigning for Harris to see the changing of personnel. 

For the binarists, this doesn't mean all the Republicans are declowned. But if a new faction takes control of their dossiers, it doesn't matter. And any unaligned survivalists switch teams on a dime.

Finally, if the Scriptwriters care about popular opinion at all, they don't have to be organic to hold their feet to fire. There are reasons to believe they are more in line with basic sanity.

The last factor is multiple agendas. Myopes and binarists completely miss those who could be playing their own game. All sorts of people take beast offers looking to advance personal interests. One reason analysists have so much trouble with the US-Israeli relation is that both sides have long played each other. There will be people in and around any faction who are unpredictable within the limits allowed.

Kennedy interests us the most here. Obviously personal scores and knowledge the game on a personal level better than most. He also appears to have an agenda that comes before other priorities and wasn't a big political player prior to running for president. Focused people are either impossible or easy to deal with. They won't compromise on that at all. But give it to them, and they'll give up most everything else. If he is empowered to make any of the changes or clean the houses he's talked about forever, that could be some authenticity.

If nothing else, the difference between Clown and Script artificiality is stark. 

As for the rest, time will tell. We know now what clown service looks like. We know that a legitimately oppositional faction is ascendant. We know what they claimed to want to do when they weren't. And we know what the most pressing issues are. [Script consistency] + [demonstrated competence] = not impossible that something happens.

We just won't need a script to see which way the sequel is going. 

PS. Read Ron Unz' meticulous account of the publicized events leading to the election. It takes a bit, but that's because of the thoroughness. Note the little details that seem odd or inexplicable. Now run through it with an understanding of The Script. 

Exactly.
