War, What Isn't It Good For?
Leapfrogging from crisis to crisis while the current underneath the lily pads turns the water
Curtain
The Giant Elephant sat on a tiny bench overlooking the world’s stage. The players were suspended for optimal exposure in mid air while the Elephant shifted the POV screens. Occasionally, a map would project on the back screen, or a character breakdown of some key player, or a piece of history crossfading between what happened and what the victors said happened in the history books.
Social Media feeds were drowning in memes, billions of opinions were pushing and shoving rudely in the metasphere, and the bots were particularly active and cruel.
All the pandemic pressure had coked up some high-anxiety humans, but ultimately, it took The Putinator two solid days to cure the world from Covidity. The Media switched gears right quick even though The Midterm Variant hadn’t even hit ‘Merica, after all, The SOTU speech was coming up and Blue was looking to chalk Covidity as a win. “It was all thanks to The Great Jabination and Maskulation!”, they clamored. Red had moved on months ago and was now nodding approvingly of The Putinator’s infiltration of The Ukraina People while once again, hedging their bets with Tumpo.
The Giant Elephant perused through contribution from the legacy media only to find them painfully on brand while regular folks cracked their knuckles and assumed position.
There were, of course, some who were lagging behind in the capitulation, desperate to hold on to the pandemic, clutching the narrative harder than their pearls whenever they saw someone’s nose above the mask at the grocery store. The desperation for an ounce of control in an uncontrollable universe was visible for all to see on social media where they became televangelists for the soaked up propaganda, weaponizing empathy but with a strong leaning inclination to ax the unvaxxed from society.
The lack of meaning in their lives had turned them vulnerable to the hypnotic trance of ideology and to practice their religion, bigger and grander rituals had to be performed. Even as most places lifted restrictions, and Blue Entertainment passed out funny red pill, the righteous gleamed at the possibility to show off which team they were on. Ultimately, there are two types of people: those who think The Media is telling them the truth and those who think.
But The Media was now treating Covidity like moldy toast (no one had even seen Fauci The Science in a week) and the new crisis seemed sufficient to steal away and capture a hefty amount of free floating anxiety. Old actors passed the baton to new actors and the importance of Turdeau was swapped for the importance of Zelenskyyy, (both of which, actual actors!) — both of which, claim membership of the foreign “non-political” organization WTF under the leadership of one Klaus Swab). What a coinkydink.
The Giant Elephant quietly observed the masses whose understanding of geopolitics was even less than immunology, but in the dense smog of invasion, neon blue and neon red signs flashed opposing messages indicating to their respective tribes which opinions to amplify. Consequently Red’s edification of The Putinator brought back images of nipples and six packs on horseback while Blue floated around photos of Zalenskyyy in army gear from a few months back.
The Two Vlads — The Putinator and Zelenskyyy — became symbols of another pro- and anti- campaign aimed at the world: treading the conflict as a reductionist victim-villain plot skirted nuance to the wings where NATO and ‘Merica stowed away implication of involvement while The Media swung its impotent sword and innocent people were caught in the crossfire, figuratively and literally.
The past twenty years had provided plenty of dry timber for kindling and all of it now added to the perfect explosive scenario:
In 2014, Ukraina’s right wing and neo-nazi group organized a Maiden Revolution that resulted in a coup
This right wing coup was supported by the Obama-rama administration and in turn, the new Ukraina government was friendly to the West
Ukraina gave up its nuclear powers in exchange for protection from ‘Merica and NATO
The neo-nazi Azov Militia became an arm of the Ukraina military
Ukraina became a safe haven for oligarchs, private interests, politician’s nepotistic tendencies, and money laundering by globalist elites
The Putinator called Ukraina “doorstep to my house” (a closeness as alarming as when the Soviets were dancing with The Cubanos in ‘Merica’s backyard)
For a simple summation of the situation, The Giant Elephant referenced fig. 1.
Given that there had been friction at Ukraina/Ruskie border for years, and The Putinator’s long suspicion of Ukraina’s government being a CIA asset, reports of Pentagon controlled biolabs in Ukraina fueled the conspiracy theories. Some claimed, like this Bulgarski outlet from last year that ‘Merica and Ukraina Government have been experimenting on unwitting Ukraina people for some time. And when The ‘Merica embassy quietly erased the biolabs information from the internet, suspicion only grew.
Information warfare was in full swing. It came from everywhere and it spanned multiple genres:
suspence
comedy
Crime
Time Travel
and even, Feminism
Out of all the brave Ukraina women soldiers, the highlight goes to model and Miss Ukraina who posing here in full make-up and military get up
To make matters more confusing, the Ukraina people were split among those who believed that The Putinator was liberating them from the corruption of their puppet government and those who so very much wanted their poor country to be opened to the West where they can travel, work, and pursue happiness. Those who raised the question with the Ruskie leader found the matter intimidating.
Whether or not The Putinator was taking advantage of The West’s weakness post the Covidian blunder was moot, Putin had plans for his own Ruskie-friendly government in Ukraina and made his demands known:
recognize the 2014 annexation of the Crimea
give up plans to join NATO
demilitarize and denazify right wing Azov and Banderite ideology that had infiltrated Ukraina governement
negotiate border control with Donbass separatists
But The Putinator didn’t destroy or destabilize Ukraina the way other aggressive powers had done before. He didn’t follow the playbook from previous aggressive incursions:
The Ruskie forces were moving slow to avoid casualties and when they met Ukraina resistance, they backtracked and continued to circle around avoiding friction. The other Vlad, on the other hand, gave away weapons to his citizens, despite the fact that they wren’t trained to use them and were more likely to hurt themselves or other citizens. Zelenskyyy also conscripted all men between 18 and 60 to fight for their county. Yet, Ukraina held together: the electricity remained on, the heating remained on, and even the internet remained on as this American broadcasting from his hotel room in Kyiv told his followers.
The West responded only with sanctions which was another way of dealing with the issue without dealing with the issue. The sanctions, specifically the limiting of Ruskie’s use of the SWIFT Banking System, didn’t garner full support. Germania’s stance for the sanctions was soft, because their energy, just like their hoden, was firmly in the iron grip of Ruskie control. Even Trumpo had warned them about it years ago.
The Giant Elephant took a quick gander among the financial institutions partnering with WTF and saw SWIFT nestled among the Ss. Is there anyone not in bed with Klaus Swab?
Even Sberbank made the list, a Ruskie bank whose CEO, Herman Gref, hailed from Soviet Kazach via Germania deportee parents. What was notable about Sberbank, is that it was the funder and distributor of the Ruskie Covidity vaccine Sputnik V. Even more notable was that Herman sits on the Board of Trustees at WTF. That Klaus Swab bed must be super cozy. More details were constantly eclipsing the Breaking news cycle while the millions of innocents sheltered or fled their Ukraina homeland while the rich and powerful engaged in dangerous war games.
Here, The Giant Elephant took a deep breath. All the roads were leading to the same acronym. Unsurprisingly, under the colossal cloak of armed conflict, governments around the world quietly unveiled the tools they’ve been trying to implement through the Covidity Experiment: centralized financial control. The action was introduced swiftly without much fanfare: Canucks posted a video of CBA CEO, Neil Parmenter, where he, too, nonchalantly mentioned WTF’s blessings.
While the world was busy flooding its monuments and profile photos with blue and yellow, governments had begun the enslavement of humanity via the Digital ID. At first, an appeal to convenience (“Look how easy and sexy this app is!”) will make this potent social credit score tool desirable before the system will undoubtedly copy other unsavory Covidian tactics:
bribery (“You get Universal Basic Income and a Crispy Cream!”)
suspension of “privileges” (“You need it to travel!”)
official state theft (“If you want your SSI or your tax refund…”)
coercion (“Can’t get a job or go to school!”)
suspension of all rights (“We got these camps…”)
For a brief moment, The Giant Elephant entertained the idea that The Putinator had some noble desire to overthrow this New World Order laden with its Digital IDs and social credit scores. Maybe he wanted to restore sovereignty and sanity to the world. It was a shame that the POV screens couldn’t peer inside someone’s mind. Nonetheless, a quick search for the Putinator on the WTF website turned up this:
When not long ago it had read this:
Maybe it wasn’t his cup of vodka. Or maybe he got voted off Dictator Island. Or maybe WTF couldn’t feature both Vlads on the Forum while they were at war with each other and distracting everyone from the quiet global financial coup. Maybe it was all about optics. What remained sus was that The Putinator had already rolled out biometric scans in schools and “FacePay” in metros in Moskva. Just maybe, he wanted the dictatory part all to himself.
The Giant Elephant zoomed out of the cold abyss of Putinator’s eyes and continued to zoom out past the opinions on Twitter, and past the rolling tanks in Ukraina, and past nuclear silos of the world. Somewhere in the distance, Edwin Starr rang tinny through an old CD player juke box: “War, huh, yeah, what is it good for?”
Well, The Giant Elephant thought, war is good for covering up public health failures.
War is good for seizing assets.
War is good for the coffers of the military industrial complex.
War is good for democide.
War is good for the dehumanization of a perceived enemy.
War is good for dividing and conquering the masses.
War is good for manipulation.
Was is good for some.
War is good for burying truth
An excellent encapsulation. Thanks! Look forward to following your work.
