They know the Covid stuff won't work this time, btw. They want you mad. They want a reaction. They want people divided and fighting, which is a pretext to their next move.

Don't take bait. Only do civil disobedience. Prepare for lawsuits. Use the Constitution.
The provocations will continue until someone overreacts to something. They've spent their trust and goodwill down to almost nothing. They can only continue by "buying runway," if you will, and runway is paid for through dumb, especially violent, reactions.
They're going to provoke harder than ever for two reasons:

1) they're running out of gas otherwise and need the justification

2) they've nourished a reactionary base, which they've also definitely infiltrated, so they are confident they can get one.

Hodl. Play smart. Expose.
PS: escalating provocations are a sure sign that we're winning. The surest sign so long as they still hold power.

Let's talk about mask mandates, vaccine boosters, and either of Covid or "Climate" lockdowns.

When dealing with Regime Ops, always think in terms of how both possible obvious outcomes benefit them and prepare accordingly. They almost ALWAYS put people in "decision dilemmas."
So if they propose a mandate or lockdown, and people go along with it, great for them. They get control. What if people don't (very likely now)? They get division that they'll exploit. Maskers versus anti-maskers, etc., and they'll run narrative ops for division and hate.
Tyrannical ideas are garbage, always blended truth and lies in varying degrees of truthiness. As the lie content goes up, the only glue that can hold them together is hate for a common enemy (scapegoat theory). This is easily understood and preempted.

So what's with all the indictments of Trump?

Well, lots of things, but let's look at it through my favorite lens: dialectical political warfare, which we know is the operating system of the Enemy.

There are several big reasons, but key among them is Operation Poke the Bear. Image
First, let's deal with the necessary baggage. They're obviously doing a DARVO distraction game. They indict Trump again within a day or two of every fact-bomb drop on the Biden Crime Family operation, so we know they're playing a game to distract and blame. That's simple as. Obvi
Second, they want Trump as messy as possible. They want people who might vote for him in the primary or general to decide he's too messy and complicated a candidate and just someone they can't hold their nose for with all this noise and baggage. That's not a small thing either.

Step 1: Reify conditions for Thucydides Trap.
Step 2: Warn about the rising threat of Thucydides Trap and need to avoid war.
Step 3: Hamstring the dominant power and encourage the rising power so war is nonsensical from the dominant side.
Step 4: "Avoid war."
That's the overarching explanation for almost everything you see happening in the global political scale. Feed CCP China so it becomes a threat of war with the dominant West and warm relentlessly about the looming threat of unavoidable war as it continues.
Meanwhile, jimmy conditions so CCP China's rise isn't just unhindered but actively aided. This will guarantee a threat of conflict eventually, per Thucydides Trap. Warm about this rising threat relentlessly but only push policies that encourage it.

Saw a lady (?) wearing a shirt that said, "if you can be nothing else, be inclusive" with a bunch of Queer propaganda on it. This caused me to have a controversial thought about how social media accelerated Woke Marxism in a tech-dependent way.
Obviously, her impulse, unless just evil, is to be that person who wants to make sure nobody is left out, i.e., the "motte" position of "inclusion," which is a caring and empathetic impulse that can be easily exploited by activists, narcissists, and psychopaths.
It's easy to imagine this impulse being particularly common in people who didn't really fit in well while growing up or since. They covet inclusion and compensate for that through a caring impulse.

Idk who needs to hear this (lol yes I do) but the fact that Communists accept the friend-enemy distinction as the basis for the political and provoke accordingly does not imply that accepting the friend-enemy distinction as the basis for politics is a smart counter.
The resolution to the famous Paradox of Tolerance is, in fact, that a liberal republic has no obligation to extend tolerance to those who operate with the friend-enemy distinction as a basis for the political. By forfeiting the liberal order, they forfeit liberal tolerance.
Popper's answer to the Paradox comes down to withdrawing liberal tolerance at the moment the friend-enemy distinction enters the realm of full dissociation and mutual enmity. Adopting tyrannical logic to stop tyranny is unlikely to work out in the end.

Have you noticed they have 💯 started the Operation Climate Crisis narrative active measure? Make sure it flops again.
It's being paired with a very obvious push into "Degrowth," aka eco-communism.

This is basically all the proof you need that it's an active measure, aka propaganda push, and not real: Media Matters shit its pants about jokes and memes about it basically from Day 1.
