Some New Year's Cheer

Do nothing. Win.

Last night, says former CIA analyst Larry Johnson, we learned, “That the alleged driver of the Tesla cybertruck that exploded in front of the Trump building in Las Vegas is Matt Livelsberger aka Matt Berg. The “facts” the FBI is telling the public do not add up. Matt, for one thing, was a Trump fan with an unusually high security clearance”..

America, as usual, seems to be defeating itself internally, which explains Beijing’s apparent passivity despite its provocations. “Do nothing, win,” is its motto. Alon Mizrahi explains, “Laughs aside, I think the US doesn't really know what it's doing, and there's a real chance a covert civil war is already being fought between different arms of the gigantic security apparatus. Or it could be the quiet stage of an actual war.

“I'm saying this regarding the mystery drones, the Trump assassination, a slew of very weird 'terrorist attacks', and a plethora of manifestos, inconsistencies, and the apparent involvement of ex-military people in these attacks. We're saying 'CIA' about much of this, but I'm not so sure it's the case. This doesn't feel centrally managed, it feels haphazard.

“We could be looking at a scenario in which foreign powers have managed to breach US defenses and use an ability to mess with the minds of US military personnel, and members of other security establishments as well. I mean, would it surprise someone if a country the US harasses, threatens and attacks does something in retaliation? This is where the mammoth size of the American security state is not an advantage, but a big problem: the US has so many agencies, agents, soldiers, and mercenaries there is no way to keep track of all of them. Think about a million people with a 'top secret' clearance across 100 departments and agencies, some completely hidden from other bodies inside the system, and all operating under a license to do whatever, and no political or public oversight.

“The size of this system, and its million tentacles, make it very unstable and almost impossible to centrally manage: think about the paranoia members of all these organizations must experience, as they suspect they are being fooled or set up by other people with an event more top secret classification, and a design that can't be pure. Practically, when a big incident happens, it is not only the public that's confused, but much of the system, too: can the FBI be sure it is not being deliberately misled by another agency? They can't. And it's impossible to function effectively in such an atmosphere.

“The vulnerability of the American system is exacerbated by the trillion things in a trillion places it tries to do at the same time: 800 military bases in 80 countries, hundreds of embassies and CIA/NAS centers worldwide, thousands of infiltration and coercion campaigns involving millions of people (NGOs, journalists, spies and molls, influence figures, media, and culture connections) - who can oversee all that? Who can control the flow of information in such a system? And it's a system of liars and deceivers with multiple sets of loyalties, many of who work to infiltrate and spy on their colleagues. It is too much to handle. The leaks must be enormous and constant. - What I'm saying is: I think they themselves have no clue what's going on. They can't.

“There are too many potential players, foreign and domestic, involved in this By creating this huge labyrinth of agencies, activities, and operations, the US has not only created a mess for itself, it's become very vulnerable. You cannot defend hundreds of hot spots and conflict zones around the world and still protect your home. The vast security bureaucracy has become a security hazard for the US, too. It won't surprise me one bit if a foreign power or some rogue department in some clandestine organization manages to drive the entire system crazy. I think this is the more probable explanation for what's happening in this modern-day Byzantine. They don't just hide the truth from us, they lost the plot themselves”.
