So beautiful. So picture-perfect. But don't be fooled. This photo captures a very ugly underlying phenomenon: a full winter of flat, grey cloud cover (previously unheard of on the sunny prairies) produced via chemtrails and weather modification...
Cosmic Spotlight Jupiter in Sagittarius (truth) comes into range of an extended square to Neptune in Pisces (illusions, fog, deception) just as Neptune, extra-potent in the zodiac, stations direct on November 24. The Jupiter-Neptune square will first be exact on January 13, 2019, but it will be within orb and in effect from late November 2018 to mid-November 2019.
Both communication/intelligence planet Mercury (now retrograde) in Sagittarius and action/aggression planet Mars in Pisces are activating (aggravating?) this square as Jupiter comes into range.
The Sun-Mercury Rx interior conjunction at 4 degrees Sagittarius on November 27 (also conjunct Jupiter and square Neptune) brings the themes of this Jupiter-Neptune square to the forefront even more.
A long-term Jupiter-Neptune square, with both planets strong in their own signs, indicates a primary theme of determining what's real and true from what's illusory and deceptive.
Under this square, a year-long veil of fog has been dropped. Illusions will be thick. And there will be an unfortunate tendency to be taken in by, as I put it in the November 5 patron article on Jupiter in Sagittarius, "pretty manipulators, confident deceivers, and charming liars."
In light of this theme, if there's
one thing - literally just one thing - I would like people to come to
understand during the transit of Jupiter in Sagittarius, it is the manipulative
stranglehold on the collective discourse and public mind held by controlled
opposition. To this end, I offer:
How to Spot Controlled Opposition
1. The person
or organization is famous, a household name (at least in certain circles), and/or
is covered on mainstream media. This is a dead giveaway. People who have the
real-deal information, who do the real-deal research and journalism, are
suppressed, ostracized, mocked, isolated, and even murdered by the
establishment. They do not rise to any sort of prominence within the public,
especially with the assistance of mainstream media. They have to fight
tooth-and-nail to get the truth out there amidst monstrous opposition. They are
certainly not provided with large public platforms or mainstream media play,
even if only as supposed "enemies of the state." Real whistleblowers
are stepped on, intimidated, shut up, or killed. They don't hit CNN or CBC or
BBC or Fox News. They don't hit VICE or Democracy Now or Dr. Oz. (Unless, that is, they are being used by the establishment as unwitting controlled opposition.)
Within the
pseudo-alternative media, controlled opposition agents will often have relative fame
- a relatively large public platform in the hundreds of thousands or
low millions. These individuals will often seem just a little too slick or a little too rehearsed to be real people. They may
have an extreme and unnatural level of charisma, and this charisma can draw people in. (The standard
cult leader personality.) This type of charisma can be generated with
mind control techniques, occult-based machinations, or both.
2. Limited
hangouts: a controlled opposition agent will release very juicy insider
information to the followers to make them believe that
"someone is doing something; someone is on top of this." This is a common technique by the power establishment of "throwing people a bone." Because the
agent is releasing information that the powers-that-be would not generally want
released to the public, information that makes the established order look bad,
the controlled opposition agent gains legitimacy in the minds of the followers.
The followers trust that this person is "one of them, on the good side,
playing for the right team." The information being released is
often partial, outdated, diversionary, or of limited scope. If
the information is legitimate, nothing effective is done with it. The
controlled opposition agent or group does not direct people to take viable
action based on this information. Often, the limited hangouts merely scratch the surface. They do not go
to the real roots of the situation or call out the real people and organizations
responsible. Limited hangouts are often used as a "look over there!"
tactic to divert attention from other areas.
Limited hangouts by controlled opposition agents
have the effect of controlling dissenting discourse within the public.
Followers hang on the controlled opposition agent's every word, waiting to be
told what to think or what to do, never doing their own research or coming up
with their own thoughts, ideas, or actions. The discourse only goes so far as the controlled opposition agent allows it to go. Limited
hangouts are being used to great effect by Donald Trump and supposed
Trump insider Q Anon, as well as by other puppet-celebrities. (Don’t
worry – the establishment left is just as chock full of controlled opposition
as the establishment right.) The public
has never before experienced a high-level politician or celebrity
producing such a steady stream of juicy limited hangouts, and many people are
utterly mesmerized and mind controlled under the spell of it.
The
reason limited hangouts are being used so extensively at this time is
that the public has successfully uncovered so much of the true reality
on this planet. The people have uncovered things that can't be swept
back under the rug, and the power establishment must now try to take
control of this information.
3. The
controlled opposition agent will often have ties (past or present) to mainstream organizations,
government agencies, or establishment groups. A controlled opposition agent is often a supposed
dissenter who rejected some mainstream organization or industry in order to
"tell people the truth." (I've
personally found these types of fake rebels or critics to be common
within the New Age establishment - people pretending to be critics of
New Age while actually being adherents to New Age beliefs and ideology.)
While true dissenters and whistleblowers do
exist, they almost never gain large public platforms. The ultimate
allegiance
of a controlled opposition agent is with the establishment, and they may
receive
funding directly from related industries or organizations. If being an
"establishment rebel" is a strong part of the person's schtick, there is
reason to be suspicious.
4. The
controlled opposition agent creates and reinforces a strong Figurehead-Follower
power dynamic. This is a hierarchical dynamic where the Figurehead sits at the
top of a pyramid scheme of power with the followers gazing up in rapt devotion.
This often takes the form of the "Wise Fatherly" archetype with the
controlled opposition agent being looked to as the pinnacle of wisdom and the
ultimate fount of information. The Figurehead is seen as the most intelligent
and most important individual in the pyramid scheme and certainly receives the
most attention. Narcissistic tendencies can commonly be observed. The Figurehead must be deferred to at all times. Dissenting information is generally censored, and anyone considered a dissenter is cut out of the fold. There is no climate of intellectual equality, even though lip service may be paid to that. People often want to get closer
to the Figurehead, moving up the rungs of the pyramid scheme to the inner
circle. Once in the inner circle, people will defend and protect the lofty
position of the Figurehead to maintain their own position. The
energy, ideas, intellect, talents, and efforts of the followers - those
on the lower rungs of the pyramid - are funneled to the top and often folded
into the Figurehead's own work. In this way, the followers are used to
prop up or bolster the position and status of the Figurehead. This is
energetic theft, and it's really the only way the bloated public platform used by the Figurehead can be maintained over time.
5. The
Figurehead controlled opposition agent has extreme influence on the thoughts,
ideas, and speech of the followers to the point of mind control. This takes the
form of hundreds of thousands or millions of followers parroting the
Figurehead's exact ideas and catch phrases. (Hatefully referring to the public
as “sheeple” is one that springs immediately to mind.) This phenomenon can be
easily picked up on by those objectively viewing the dynamics, and it is
another dead giveaway. Free thinkers do not parrot the same catch phrases,
idioms, or ideas at the same times as hundreds of thousands or millions of others.
Independent researchers and thinkers do not obsessively focus on the pet
subjects or ideas of the Figurehead to the exclusion of other, more important
matters. The common denominator when seeing these types of dynamics will be
exposure to one particular Figurehead.
6. The Figurehead controlled opposition agent often stirs fear, anger,
rage, frustration, confusion, or despair in followers with no healthy outlets for those feelings.
Anger and rage will often be directed toward certain groups of people as the
cause of the ills. These groups may be gender-based, race-based, or politics-based but can also
be the public at large (“the sheeple”). Massive amounts of time and energy are
directed toward particularly divisive topics as well as to matters of secondary
importance, skirting around the real, core issues of the times and the real
individuals, organizations, and entities responsible for the harm being caused. The Figurehead can
also stir confusion and a sense of futility or helplessness in the followers,
ensuring that followers do not take independent action (“there’s nothing we can
do about it, anyway”) and that they will continue to look to the Figurehead for
instruction on what to think or what to do. Dependence on the leadership of the Figurehead is encouraged, even if not expressly.
These are some of the characteristics of people who
act as controlled opposition. You can use these points to sniff them
out. People can be used as controlled opposition consciously (with their
knowledge), or they can be used unconsciously (without their
knowledge). Whole movements or "scenes" can also be infiltrated by
controlled opposition - maintaining establishment control over dissent
and the exposing of truth by scratching the surface, appearing to allow a
public platform for alternative views, but never going to the real
roots of the situation or truly liberating people's minds or lives.
Controlled
opposition agents are looked to as primary leaders for a cause, and
this is exactly the dynamic they create and reinforce until dependence
on them as figureheads is fostered. These agents are actually put in
place to mislead, to lead in the wrong direction, or to entirely shirk
leadership at critical moments.
This hijacks, confuses, and diffuses grassroots movements and
independent action that would otherwise be effective.
