With all we now know, we can safely say;

- the event was planned years ahead of time

- all media were/are in on it

- they pushed their own 'conspiracy theories' for the less gullible

- all state is deep state

- all politicians were/are in on it

Same with Covid, same with Climate Change and I can go on for a while. Sure, every country gets their individual flavour of the world order, but world order it is.

And it has been for a very long time..

You've reminded me of one of the really cunning (in fact, pretty cool when it comes to espionage as it happens) methods of subversion/cognitive infiltration. Namely you get two (or, preferably, three, as I'll explain below) of your agents and place them on opposing sides and get them to have an argument (no Monty Python references permitted).

That's somewhat obvious, of course. But the cunning thing happens with agent #3, who sweeps in and 'exposes' agent #1 as an agent. Maybe this happens after agent #1 has accused agent #2 of being an agent and seems to be winning the argument and gathering something of a following. Thus, when agent #1's cover is blown, the onlookers have quite the experience, since sudden shifts, when emotional, can be very powerful and certainly construe an exciting turning point in a narrative. Furthermore, it makes everyone think agent #2 is completely innocent (people empathise with victims etc.), and maybe also pushing the 'correct' narrative which agent #1 was trying to get people to dismiss. It massively reinforces agent #2's cover/bona fides, in other words.

Agent #3 would probably have to slink away quietly though, before anyone rumbles him/her. Unless they don't get suspected at all of course, in which case they may as well hang around, enjoy the party, or even think up another party piece. If you fool them once, after all, why not fool them again, eh!

Thus, when we examine a lot of this cognitive infiltration (or let's say propaganda - different theories about this or that event/conspiracy, and the people promoting them), we should always try and bear in mind that template.

It perhaps also suggests, in the above example, that the real twist is that the narrative being pushed by agent #1 was, ironically, the truth. Which everyone now dismisses.

And all anyone is left with, in the end, is loose change.
