I guess I'm looking at it from Sun Tzu's "When weak, appear strong" perspective. If they were truly in control, the mad scramble and 24/7 global propaganda wouldn't be necessary. I think the reins are slipping but we will see.
Looking at all that is going on, the retarded "elites" seem to be fighting for their lives like cornered rats. They can no longer operate in the shadows where they thrive, it's all out in the open now and they hate it. They're rushing things, making mistakes and waking up the masses in the process, only making it harder for themselves.
Yes, we know, it's the only comment you keep repeating on this forum. Listen to the man, he knows a hundred times more about this than you ever will. They're rushing, they're infighting, they're making mistakes, they're being sued up to their eyeballs and they're going to lose. Nobody is buying their bullshit anymore. Your cyborg cannibalism fantasy will have to wait.
