The "Authoritarian" Playbook
Bernie Sanders reads his updated script.
Bernie Sanders is saying the sorts of things that got people like me censored online just a few years ago. He is “creating doubt in the integrity of American elections.” But Bernie is doing it to make sure Trump cannot steal real elections (which, we are told, has never happened and could never happen). We, the bad guys, do it to point out that elections are fake. Bernie isn’t creating doubt in the integrity of his elections, mind you. The system worked perfectly in those elections, for all sixty years of Bernie’s life being funded by taxpayers and the organizations who hired him to exploit the taxpayers. Let’s see what this loony, old codger is mush-mouthing now:
This is the same playbook they have run every two years for the last decade. It is also the same playbook the adversary runs against all the Very Brutal Dictators around the world. We are told the “authoritarians” don’t want to hold elections because, if elections were held, the people would vote for the other guy. Aside from the fact that the people would not choose the other guy—hence the incessant marketing campaign to convince the people they would—the reason the “authoritarians” don’t want to hold elections is because elections are fake. There are not real elections and we are not under the real Constitution to begin with.
The global Regime does not “lose” elections just as the NFL does not lose its own games. Elections are a function of the control system. The control system is not a function of elections.
When an election is held, the Uniparty system persists, period. It doesn’t matter who “wins” a fake election. The idea itself is nonsensical. A person wanting to win an election he knows to be fake is a usurper of power of the very same kind we hope to expel, attempting to seize power in the same manner. That we may agree with the usurpers’ stated political priorities is meaningless next to their desperation to wield power and reap its rewards. Party affiliation under a Uniparty dynamic is equally meaningless. There is no victory in knowing that the enemy claiming the authority to rule us portrays our preferred brand of enemy on the Screen.
Elections either do or do not convince us to turn our personal power and autonomy over to the State. When we accept fake elections as real, we affirm our willingness to vacate our natural rights—submitting to whatever rules the State provides—on the understanding that we have chosen it for ourselves. But if we simply stopped perceiving elections are the legitimate transfer of power from ourselves to the people on the Screen, that power would and could not be transferred. If we mocked and ridiculed our clownish congressmen and senators, rather than supplicating before them, when they pretend to “debate” and then “vote” on “legislation,” the public display of “the legislative process” and all the pseudo-drama surrounding it would be a laughing stock rather than a sacred and austere creation of “history.” Above all, these people demand to be taken seriously, which must be why they’re swearing so often.
“Look how impassioned I am!!”
(Profanity warning. Also, how does Ohio have so many versions of James Donald Bowman aka James David Hamel aka JD! Vance? Bernie Moreno, Vivek Ramaswamy, etc…)
Recall, over the past few years, the common term for Very Brutal Dictators was “autocrats.” The media is using the pre-WWII German playbook where the Nazis/MAGA/authoritarians/fascists rise in opposition to the Weimar/Antifa/DSA/woke left/communists all while battling over tariffs and the influence of international finance. (It’s been a century. Everyone with a living memory of the last time the playbook was run is either dead, senile, or too young at the time to really remember. It’s time to circle back.) This is why the Screen has projected such an incredible volume of programming labeling MAGA “white supremacist.” It’s why they staged a summer of atrocities in 2020 and why they’re funding a coordinated pro-Nazi/anti-Zionist movement online to provide Controlled Opposition and cause the label to stick so they can later accuse MAGA of trying to exterminate the Jews.
All of these groups are on the same side and serve the same worldly powers for the same worldly ends. Their own perception of sincere factional opposition is what makes them such useful idiots. They are literally fighting themselves on behalf of the enemy while thinking they’re fighting the enemy on behalf of themselves. They never win, but think they’re permanently victorious anyway because a few among their (supposedly) millions of members appear famous and charismatic on television, and that’s enough.
If the State chooses to ‘Nuremberg’ Fauci/Mengele for forced medical experimentation on the people in order to absolve the State of its collective “covid” guilt, Fauci will be recast as a servant of Hitler/Trump. Fauci’s guilt won’t be pinned to the Science-trusters who worshipped him, he’ll be pinned to Trump. (The DeeSantis op already attempted this during the fake 2024 primaries. They will probably start doing it again after the fake midterms in the lead-up to yet another fake Trump “impeachment”.) Imagine how effective that campaign would be if “President Biden” hadn’t been assigned four years of responsibility for what Trump was supposed to have done.
Promoting any of the above factions in their coordinated messaging campaigns, including about elections, is obviously helping the adversary. The simple and correct response is to loudly and clearly point out that a known playbook is being run and simply opt out.
We can choose to help the adversary tell its story or we can point out what the adversary is doing and make sure its story cannot be effectively told. This is not particularly complicated. The adversary relies on authority which relies on reputation. This is, after all, the Party of False Decorum at work.
The adversary wins forever until we each, individually, choose to reject the lies and the incentives provided for repeating the lies.
PS. How’s this for a flashback? I know, I know. Bernie Sanders is a secret white hat whose job is to wake up the normies.
PPS. The Machine says I am not the Machine.




I’m at the “laughing stock” stage about 95 % of the time but it’s taken a while to get there. Without Badlands content creators and especially you, I doubt I’d have ever made it here so thank you - all- for helping wake my brain, renew critical thinking and especially for the deep sense of peace I carry with me each day. God has a way of bringing things you need to you when you need them or are ready for them.
Chris i opened this up and listened to AI read it to me while overlooking the hill side I have told you to come visit. Your words have a profound affect and meaning that become even more focused when one is overlooking a very natural setting in God's creation. The journey continues, thanks for the continued motivating snippets you hammer out. Come see me, Bobby
