Create the poison then provide the "solution"
(media.scored.co)
On the side of the road near an area I lived there was a pipe tapped into a natural spring that was flowing 24/7, and it has been there around 100 years. People would park on the shoulder to fill up jugs of water for free. When I found out it was actual potable water I said "wow, that's some White shit that would never be allowed today". Turns out I was right because a year later the county came up and hacked off the pipe for "traffic safety reasons".
They manufacture the problem, then control the reaction [propaganda], and then present the "solution" they wanted all along. 9/11 was a catalyst to dismantling the Constitution, ushering massive surveillance powers, Real ID, biometrics, etc. Covid lockdowns proved that people will comply with, effectively, Marshall Law and ad hock supralegal "mandates." Even the 08' market crash was exploited to impose more gov't regulation and licensures of finance industry. They really "don't let a crisis go to waste."
Every time something "bad" happens it's always exposed to be a preemptive excuse for the really bad shit they want to do.
