1) you will own nothing and be happy, AKA we will loot it all and you will like it or else
2) The USA will no longer be a super power AKA there will be nothing standing in our way of enslaving you.
Here is how they are doing this, we cannot allow it to continue:
Ten Ways the 1% Who Hate Us Are Manipulating Us Right Now
1) The first manipulation is the illusion of choice. You think you have two parties representing different visions for America but both parties are funded by the same billionaires, vote for the same surveillance bills, approve the same defense budgets, and serve the same corporate interests. The choice you are given is which color tie the puppet wears, not who controls the strings.
2) The second manipulation is emotional hijacking. The news does not inform you, it activates you. Every story is framed to trigger fear or anger or disgust because those emotions bypass your rational thinking and make you easier to control. You are not watching journalism. You are being subjected to psychological operations designed to keep you in a constant state of agitation.
3) The third manipulation is tribal sorting. The algorithm learns what makes you angry and feeds you more of it until your entire worldview is shaped by outrage at the other side. You are sorted into a tribe not because you chose it but because keeping you tribal keeps you predictable and profitable.
4) The fourth manipulation is false scarcity. You are told resources are limited and the other tribe is taking what belongs to you. Immigrants are stealing your jobs. Welfare recipients are draining your taxes. The other party is destroying your healthcare. Meanwhile the billionaire class has more wealth than any humans in history and could solve most of these problems tomorrow if they wanted to.
5) The fifth manipulation is memory holing. Stories that threaten powerful interests get buried or forgotten within days. Exposed crimes result in no consequences. Historical context that would help you understand the present is never taught. You are kept in a perpetual present with no past to learn from and no future to plan for.
6) The sixth manipulation is controlled opposition. The voices you think are fighting for you are often funded by the same interests they pretend to oppose. The outrage merchant on your side of the aisle is playing a character designed to keep you engaged and angry and tuned in while nothing ever actually changes.
7) The seventh manipulation is the Overton window. The range of acceptable opinion is artificially narrowed so that anything outside it seems extreme. Ideas that were mainstream fifty years ago are now treated as radical. Ideas that serve elite interests are treated as moderate common sense. You are not choosing your beliefs from the full range of human thought. You are choosing from a menu they wrote.
8) The eighth manipulation is learned helplessness. You are shown so many problems with no solutions that you eventually give up and accept that nothing can change. This is intentional. A population that believes resistance is futile does not resist. They scroll and complain and feel superior for understanding how bad things are while doing absolutely nothing about it.
9) The ninth manipulation is identity capture. Your political affiliation becomes your identity, and any attack on your party feels like an attack on you personally. This makes you defend politicians and policies that harm you because admitting they are wrong would mean admitting you were wrong, and your ego will not allow that.
10) The tenth manipulation is the most insidious of all: you are manipulated into believing you are too smart to be manipulated. Every person reading this thinks the manipulations I described apply to other people, the stupid people, the brainwashed people on the other side. That certainty is itself a manipulation. The moment you believe you are immune is the moment you become most vulnerable
Great stuff TriTorch, at least you managed to swerve the manipulation, unless there is a yet to be written manipulation describing how even the whistleblowers manipulate us.
I hope Russia or China saves America from itself. After years of American gov saying China or Russia is enemy - US Government and Israel are American Enemy #1
Obviously this is rubbish it would never happen people tried something similar in uk but we know 12000 arrests a year for posting hurty words are complete utter boll...oh wait it's true! Sorry irony goes above my head trump please kidnap starmer!" Knockknockknock"
This is the best researched satire I've ever read. Frankly this is just as true as most of the headlines from our mainstream media.
America sends its 'law enforcers' to train in israel. https://www.amnestyusa.org/blog/with-whom-are-many-u-s-police-departments-training-with-a-chronic-human-rights-violator-israel/ And we wonder why Americans are being treated like Palestinians?
We never paid any attention, never took it to heart, when Stephen King told us so many times that it always follows you home. And here we are.
Excellent summation. This wasn't satire, I'm afraid.
Davos 2030 Goals:
1) you will own nothing and be happy, AKA we will loot it all and you will like it or else
2) The USA will no longer be a super power AKA there will be nothing standing in our way of enslaving you.

The tenth manipulation was displayed perfectly by Joe Rogan when he said, “I’m an american. I can’t be bull$hitted. I have a great bull$hit detector.”
What an idiot.
Great stuff TriTorch, at least you managed to swerve the manipulation, unless there is a yet to be written manipulation describing how even the whistleblowers manipulate us.
If you can find any further manipulation please do Baz, let me know, and I will modify the list to include it. This is just an excerpt from a larger brilliant analysis that can be found here: https://tritorch.substack.com/p/everything-you-watch-or-read-is-owned
I think you may find ^ that worth every second of your time
Cracker of a line Laura “I wouldn’t want to be treated like a black or brown person, would you?” !
I hope Russia or China saves America from itself. After years of American gov saying China or Russia is enemy - US Government and Israel are American Enemy #1
i also hope that Russia and China save us from the US. After all, Russia did save us during WWII.
👏👏🩷🩷👏👏
I have been to America several times recently and always enjoyed myself and loved the people i met, but the people you vote in are just off the hook.
You guys had an easy chance just to vote in the Greens and Jill Stein seemed good. No one done that so who are we to blame...
Thank you, Laura. I know that your every word is true, because you can't make this shit up.
Obviously this is rubbish it would never happen people tried something similar in uk but we know 12000 arrests a year for posting hurty words are complete utter boll...oh wait it's true! Sorry irony goes above my head trump please kidnap starmer!" Knockknockknock"
Your best report yet. Good journalism, keep it up. You did send it to the US papers, didn't you?
You’ve done it again Laura. Brilliant satire so close to the bone it touches the nerve of truth.
BRILLIANT, cheers!
Laura, when are you going to go back to posting satire?
Priceless. You did it again! 😂
Trump's Gestapo is the Gestapo of the US oligarchy that runs the nation like a casino.
Superb!
All true.
