This tactic is no news, as it has been in existence since ages. This is a manipulation and control tactic. By creating the problem, they are well informed, that way they are in better position to control the situation, and capitalize off of it.
This tactic is very effective, and very dangerous. It has an 80% to 99% success rate in my opinion, depending on how resourceful such an individual is. The perpetrators who have master minded the crisis, rather than being punished are then seen as heroes for providing a solution to the problem which they themselves had created.
The thing about this tactics is that most often than non, it is done in secrecy, so carefully that the truth about the source of the problem will forever be a myth to the public. There will be a lot of misinformations and disinformations flying about. For example, we see this tactic being used in business and politics.
The question is, what is the motive?
This article i did not write to present myself as a moral judge, but to delve into understanding the human nature, which is the architect of human society. This tactic is for manipulation and control. However, the reason behind using such a powerful and dangerous tactic varies.
- To Make Profits: Massive corporations uses this tactic to create emergencies, that way they can profit off the situation since they have a better understanding of the problem, and the solution.
- To Cause a Diversion: This tactic is sometimes used as a diversion, to shift the attentions of the public from something else.
- To Stay Relevant: This tactic is sometimes used by politicians and entrepreneurs to stay relevant, and be in the spotlight. By being the solution, they could steal the trust and support of the general public. This massively boost their influence.
- To Create Dependency: This tactic is sometimes used in business and politics to create dependency on their products and services.
- To Create a Bargaining Chip: This tactic is used in politics to create urgency, and serve as a bargaining chip to get something else in return.
This tactic is mostly to achieve an immediate result, so it is a short term goal, and often shortsighted. The long term effects associated with this tactic is often disastrous to everyone, with no exceptions. Everything it provides in the short term, it takes away and more in the long term, almost permanently.
However, it depends on what the priorities are. If the motive is profit driven, and personal interests, i guess one wouldn’t mind destroying the future so long they make gains today. I could go on and on, but wouldn’t want to narrow this article down to a single direction, so feel free to engage with your thoughts on this.

I watched a Senator Chris Murphy speak to the Senate (YouTube 28 min long) about the first six weeks of the current administration’s actions, I think you would find it interesting. It enumerates the evils that have been done in the first 6 weeks. Stupefying.

Mmmm. I think I will have a look at that. The US holds a permanent member seat in the UN, it is also a leading democracy nation, and is actively engaging in the global scheme of things. So everyone is interested in the matters of the US. However the leadership of the US hasn’t always been held by well meaning individuals, as the country is being run like a private company.
Individuals uses the military, intelligence, and secret service, as a personal army to create conflict all over the world for selfish interests, of which only a few will benefit, but the cost and repercussions will be shared among the citizens of the entire country. It is also important i note that this is not limited to the US alone.
This present US administration has opened the eyes of so many to things many have known, and suspected for so long. However, like always there is a lot of misinformation, and disinformation flying around. Do we excerpt a particular administration and party from the equations of what are being revealed? Is this a rot in the system, or perhaps the system is simply carrying out what it was created to do in the first place? So many questions, as like always, so little answers.
At the end of the day, the common man suffers for the decisions, and evil activities of the elites.

The video i suggested is just an accounting of actions taken. It is not opinion that is why I watched it. It’s a day by day progression. I honestly cannot see the US remaining the world power that it is as it is breaking down all of its allied relationships. Scary times.

Politics are full of this, idk if it is strickly for greed, and or for their personal agendas. But then everyday regular people do this as well, so I guess maybe it just depends. But I agree with you everything gained in the short term is lost in the long term. Great post as always.

You might be right Jam, but if we are talking about comparison, what the regular people do is no where near what the elites do and are capable of doing. To talk about this would be me opening a new topic, because it is very broad. In the end if the ones who are suppose to protect us, are the ones actually behind our problems, what we have is a breakdown of law and order. It’s all connected.

Excellent topic, Victor! I would like to add a sixth reason: To privatize a government agency or program.

Well, i am sure this falls under one of the five. Governments all over the world privatize agencies all the time, makes one wonder if the government can’t manage an agency effectively how can they manage a country? In Nigeria for example our energy company was privatized a few years ago because it was poorly managed, years later we still don’t have a stable power supply.

I heard about this theory, in relation to the pandemic. The conspiracy theory says Pfizer owned the government laboratory in Wuhan where Covid originated from. Covid was deliberately leaked, so Pfizer could get billions selling a vaccine for a virus they created. Is this a plausible theory? I am not sure.

Thank you for bringing this up. Actually this is no news, we all heard about it, but there was never any real evidence brought up to ascertain the claims. However, one thing is certain, whether covid was a laboratory created virus or not, a lot of big corporations, and individuals profited immensely off of it.
I guess you can call it blood money, or money ritual.

Lol, the trillion dollar industry that only cares about managing diseases, but little or no real interest in providing cures. Greed is indeed a big menace in the world.
