John and Nisha Whitehead – The Rutherford Institute July 22, 2024
A failed assassination attempt on a presidential candidate. An incumbent president withdrawing his re-election bid at the 11th hour. A politicized judiciary that fails to hold the powers-that-be accountable to the rule of law. A world at war. A nation in turmoil.
This is what controlled chaos looks like.
This year’s election-year referendum on which corporate puppet should occupy the White House has quickly become a lesson in how the Deep State engineers a crisis to keep itself in power.
Don’t get so caught up in the performance that you lose sight of what’s real.
This endless series of diversions, distractions and political drama is the oldest con game in the books, the magician’s sleight of hand that keeps you focused on the shell game in front of you while your wallet is being picked clean by ruffians in your midst.
It’s the Reichstag Fire all over again.
It was February 1933, a month before national elections in Germany, and the Nazis weren’t expected to win. So they engineered a way to win: they began by infiltrating the police and granting police powers to their allies; then Hitler brought in stormtroopers to act as auxiliary police; by the time an arsonist (who claimed to be working for the Communists in the hopes of starting an armed revolt) set fire to the Reichstag, the German parliamentary building, the people were eager for a return to law and order.
That was all it took: Hitler used the attempted “coup” as an excuse to declare martial law and seize absolute power in Germany, establishing himself as a dictator with the support of the German people.
Fast forward to the present day, and what do we have? A discontented citizenry, a disconnected government, and a Deep State that wants to stay in power at all costs.
So what happens? Trump has a near miss, Biden bows out, and politics becomes exciting to the masses again.
It works the same in every age.
This is how the police state will win, no matter which candidate gets elected to the White House.
You know who will lose? Every last one of us.
After all, politics today is not about Republicans and Democrats.
Nor is it about abortion, healthcare, higher taxes, immigration, or any of the other buzzwords that have become campaign slogans for individuals who have mastered the art of telling Americans exactly what they want to hear.
Politics today is about one thing and one thing only: maintaining the status quo between the Controllers (the politicians, the bureaucrats, and the corporate elite) and the Controlled (the taxpayers).
Indeed, it really doesn’t matter what you call them—the 1%, the elite, the controllers, the masterminds, the shadow government, the police state, the surveillance state, the military industrial complex—so long as you understand that no matter which party occupies the White House in 2025, the unelected bureaucracy that actually calls the shots will continue to do so.
In other words, no matter who wins this next presidential election, you can rest assured that the new boss will be the same as the old boss, and we—the permanent underclass in America—will continue to be forced to march in lockstep with the police state in all matters, public and private.
Consider the following a much-needed reality check, an antidote if you will, against an overdose of overhyped campaign announcements, lofty electoral promises and meaningless patriotic sentiments that land us right back in the same prison cell.
FACT: According to a scientific study by Princeton researchers, the United States of America is not the democracy that it purports to be, but rather an oligarchy, in which “economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy.”
FACT: Despite the fact that the number of violent crimes in the country is down substantially, the lowest rate in sixty years, the number of Americans being jailed for nonviolent crimes such as driving with a suspended license continues to skyrocket.
FACT: Thanks to an overabundance of 4,500-plus federal crimes and 400,000-plus rules and regulations, it is estimated that the average American actually commits three felonies a day without knowing it. In fact, according to law professor John Baker, “There is no one in the United States over the age of 18 who cannot be indicted for some federal crime. That is not an exaggeration.”
FACT: Despite the fact that we have 38 million Americans living at or below the poverty line, 13 million children living in households without adequate access to food, and 1.2 million veterans relying on food stamps, enormous sums of taxpayer money continue to be doled out on wasteful programs that do little to improve the plight of those in need.
FACT: Since 2001 Americans have spent $93 million every hour for the total cost of the nation’s so-called war on terror.
FACT: It is estimated that 5 million children in the United States have had at least one parent in prison, whether it be a local jail or a state or federal penitentiary, due to a wide range of factors ranging from overcriminalization and surprise raids at family homes to roadside traffic stops.
FACT: According to a Gallup poll, Americans place greater faith in the military and the police than in any of the three branches of government.
FACT: At least 400 to 500 innocent people are killed by police officers every year. Indeed, Americans are now eight times more likely to die in a police confrontation than they are to be killed by a terrorist. Americans are 110 times more likely to die of foodborne illness than in a terrorist attack. Police officers are more likely to be struck by lightning than be made financially liable for their wrongdoing.
FACT: On an average day in America, over 100 Americans have their homes raided by SWAT teams. Most of those SWAT team raids are for a mere warrant service. There has been a notable buildup in recent years of heavily armed SWAT teams within non-security-related federal agencies such as the Department of Agriculture, the Railroad Retirement Board, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Office of Personnel Management, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Education Department.
FACT: For all intents and purposes, we now have a fourth branch of government: the surveillance state. This fourth branch came into being without any electoral mandate or constitutional referendum, and yet it possesses superpowers, above and beyond those of any other government agency save the military. It is all-knowing, all-seeing and all-powerful. It operates beyond the reach of the president, Congress and the courts, and it marches in lockstep with the corporate elite who really call the shots in Washington, DC. The government’s “technotyranny” surveillance apparatus has become so entrenched and entangled with its police state apparatus that it’s hard to know anymore where law enforcement ends and surveillance begins. They have become one and the same entity. The police state has passed the baton to the surveillance state.
FACT: Everything we do will eventually be connected to the Internet. By 2030 it is estimated there will be 100 trillion sensor devices connecting human electronic devices (cell phones, laptops, etc.) to the Internet. Much, if not all, of our electronic devices will be connected to Google, which openly works with government intelligence agencies. Virtually everything we do now—no matter how innocent—is being collected by the spying American police state.
FACT: Americans know virtually nothing about their history or how their government works. In fact, according to a study by the National Constitution Center, 41 percent of Americans “are not aware that there are three branches of government, and 62 percent couldn’t name them; 33 percent couldn’t even name one.”
FACT: Only six out of every one hundred Americans know that they actually have a constitutional right to hold the government accountable for wrongdoing, as guaranteed by the right to petition clause of the First Amendment.
Perhaps the most troubling fact of all is this: we have handed over control of our government and our lives to faceless bureaucrats who view us as little more than cattle to be bred, branded, butchered and sold for profit.
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, if there is to be any hope of restoring our freedoms and reclaiming control over our government, it will rest not with the politicians but with the people themselves.
One thing is for sure: the reassurance ritual of voting is not going to advance freedom one iota.

Spectacular list.
I could add the rest of the West’s lists of infamy but nobody has that much bandwidth. All of it is true — corrupt oligarchies at war with their own people.
There was an old 1960s band called the Status Quo and one of their fine hits, “Pictures of Matchstick Men” is a good name for those who rule us. Only I suppose we’d now have to call the Matchstick Persons (they/them).
I would like to know whether Trump really said “If I get killed, Iran did it”, because that is an Israeli statement and can only mean he is in on a scheme to pretend to get killed
Trump had a nEAR miss? He heals mEARaculously! They don’t call him ‘pappy warp speed’ fer nuthin’.
conspEARacy thEARy.
The same holds true for most countries around the world.

SOUTHPORT
It-s just not fecking good enough
We should call a halt on all immigration immediately
But of course we won-t
And Labour will actually accept even more and more illegals
How can a family say they are being persecuted in Rwanda of all places?
A Government-s first duty is to protect it=s own citizens and our treacherous self_serving politicians are patently failing to do this
Eighty to ninety per cent murders are committed by foreigners
We must stand up and protest at every opportunity at this betrayal of our children and adults
it is realy strange how corrupt whites help for
any reasons to eradicate the white race . jews,
latinos, africans, asians enjoy it . I think the
southafrican tirenecklace burners had more
honour for their race against traitors .
WHITES THE BEST TRAITORS ?
More like the ‘Semitic State’ than the ‘Deep State’.
Name of author of article is Whitehead. One gets the sense that all these ‘white’ columnists on these various alternative news sites like Unz & TTS are all Roman Catholics. 10 to 1 Ritter, Macgregor, Roberts, Hohmann, Whitney, Giraldi etc are all Roman Catholics. So we have this Jew-white Roman Catholic union controlling the narrative for everyone. Only I have exposed them as the establishment commie frauds they are.
17 year old wog animal knifed/killed three white kids in Southport England & critically wounded several others
If voting made any difference, they wouldn’t let us do it.
If voting made any difference, they wouldn’t let us do it!
THE OLYMPICS IS A FARCE

Lies and theatre can only carry an establishment so far. Fake upon fake can be made to work at first but it needs more fake to make the next bit work, but that just bakes-in the ultimate failure. If it was so easy half the people in the world would live their whole life around fake upon fake but reality soon brings it down. Fake upon fake cannot last forever, not even on state or international levels. They just last a while longer.
Why no headline story on TTS about 17 year old wog animal knifing/killing 3 white kids & severely injuring others in Southport???
@Machiavelli / Nico
Whitehead is an Anglicization of the German Ashkenazi Weisskopf. – weiss – white kopf – head. Ritter is a common Ashkenazi name, Roberts is common crypto name– e.g. actress Julia Roberts. German names like Hohmann with two n’s on the end are usually ethnic German, while ‘man’ suffix is almost always Ashkenazi. He might be a crypto posing as German by adding the ‘n’ .
@ markie
Yes, but whites also possess those surnames; the name ‘Stein’ for example can be a Jewish & German surname. Of course these specific individuals (Ritter/Hohmann/Whitehead etc) could be mischling masquerading as ‘white gentiles’, but there are plenty of white roman catholics aligned with these Yids.
Two can play this game- one side for the quick, the other side for the dead.
“Politics today is about one thing and one thing only: maintaining the status quo between the Controllers (the politicians, the bureaucrats, and the corporate elite) and the Controlled (the taxpayers).”
Typical misinformation. The politicians are actors who work for the owners – Jews.
SOUTHPORT
look the UK government is partially to blame for southport we are arming israel
knowing that they are deliberately killing children
the public support palestine, but not our corrupt government
the southport murders are just a ” see how you like it done to you”
The answer is to return all foreigners to country of origin
the hole in Trump`s earlobe looked as though it was made with a device for punching holes in paper..
Machiavelli = 👍👍👍👍👍
@ Nico
Yes, they have their Goy agents serving their interests everywhere, Catholic and otherwise, so in the end it doesn’t matter if they’re cryptos or not. It’s more of an amusement or curiousity for me at this point. The Anglicization of names is very common among cryptos. Bill Gates is likely Goetz, Sumner Redstone is Rothstein. There are so many examples of prominent JWO players that have Anglicized their names.
“Status Quo” is a Marxist term and really means the Commies had not yet removed the Gentiles’ leadership and replaced it with themselves
