Yves Guerin-Serac, who was an open fascist, would not be the first to use false-flag tactics that were blamed on communists and used to justify more stringent police and military control from the state\u2026.\u201d (\u201cOperation Gladio: NATO\u2019s Secret War for International Fascism\u201d, The Saker)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Repeat: the first phase of political activity ought to be to create the conditions favoring the installation of chaos in all of the regime\u2019s structures\u2026 This destruction of the state must be carried out under the cover of (communist) activities\u2026. Popular opinion must be polarized in such a way, that we are being presented as the only instrument capable of saving the nation.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In other words, the objective of the operation is to completely disrupt all social relations and interaction, cultivate feelings of uncertainty, polarization and terror, find a group that can be scapegoated for the wide societal collapse, and, then, present yourself as the best choice for restoring order. <strong>That is the pathway to authoritarian government, the likes of which our billionaire elites have in store for us all.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BudMW-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-267929\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BudMW-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"678\" height=\"680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BudMW-5.jpg 678w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BudMW-5-480x481.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 678px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>That\u2019s why these mega-corporations are all pushing this \u201cwoke\u201d gobbledygook down our throats.
