Barack Obama was able to reconfigure the Democratic Party into the party of Barack Obama with him being able to stand as the center of power, but not necessarily the head of the party.

He was able to retire, the Democratic Party of Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton and the neoliberal establishment.

His transformation of America was the brainchild of David Axelrod. David Axelrod had built his reputation based on getting people elected that didn’t stand a chance. How did he do this you ask? Well, he used an advertising term called permission structures. His father had come from the advertising world like one can see when watching Mad Men.

Permissive structures take mass psychology, plus new technology plus state craft plus social engineering.

The basic premise is that in order to change the minds of the electorate en mass it is necessary to convince them to act against their own prior beliefs by appealing to the type of person, these people actually want to be.

It uses feedback loops and echo chambers, and a small class of operatives who deploy statecraft through social engineering via social media to create and control narratives that are message to a target audience .

The tactical methodology behind this permissive structure that the Obama machine built through David Axelrod came from Ben Rhodes, a former fiction editor, who was able to use fiction with politics and sprinkle in a side of state craft.

You see, they discovered early on that they could create a credentialed class of experts and elevate them using each other on social media to advance what was otherwise considered not a credible position. Those experts would then be quoted in captured think tank policy papers, disseminated on social media and used by NGO activists.

A small class of operatives used new technology like Twitter to create and control narratives that they messaged to their target audience. These tools of fiction were applied to political messages on social media as an element of statecraft. Because legacy media was dying and more money was being allocated to actual journalists. The remainder of the media class became puppets who took narratives. They were fed by those operatives and disseminated them to the masses.

The result was an echo chamber and a giant circle jerk that began and ended with some Obama staff at the White House and an iPhone.

This was evidenced by the fact that while Donald Trump was in the White House the first time 51 former intelligence officials were able to stop the spread of a story about Hunter Biden’s laptop. Party operatives convinced these 51 former intelligence officials to declare that the laptop was not real in a letter, and then that letter was used to ban factual reports about the laptop from social media, which was reinforced in legacy media.

This happened even though Donald Trump was in the White House because the power to control. The state was no longer housed in 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

It is these permissive structures, reinforced with captured think tanks and NGO’s that allowed Obamacare to be sold to the public as a healthcare system instead of a new social welfare program that would lower the standard of care, increase your premiums and provide tens of billions of dollars to pharmaceutical companies. Pay more and get less became transformative healthcare solutions.

And what did Obamacare do? it filled the coffers of big pharmaceutical companies who in turn funneled it back to the Democratic Party.

Another phenomenon that allowed these permissive structures to flourish was the new relationship forged with Silicon Valley, who had come over from the Republican side of the aisle to the Democrat side of the aisle. Under the constant threat of burdensome regulation, they were more than happy to do the bidding of the Obama censorship regime.

The 2020 loss of Donald Trump should have solidified the power of the Obama machine. They now changed the election laws. Censorship was institutionalized in social media and legacy media. And they controlled all the lovers of power from the FBI to the SEC to the IRS.

“This allowed for large scale changes in American morals and behaviors, which were legislative outside of familiar institutions without the safeguards of representational democracy.”

The result was a populous who had no idea why they believed what they believed and said what they said. They were exhausted from living in a world where on the outside they had to conform to the bullying and pressures from the Obama psyop machine which told people that open borders and genital mutilation of children and violent crime, and a stagnant economy were all fantastic accomplishments.

Obama was able to remake the world into a place where upside down was right side up.

Nothing about this was organic. Not the thought virus or the slogans that ensued, like stop the genocide Gaza or defund the police or white privilege.

Activist organizations started niche trends, and then did test runs for them on social media. These trends were then picked up by democrat party operatives who went on Legacy media to disseminate them writ large.

So what broke the fever? Well, the fever cracked when Elon Musk purchased X. Despite trying to destroy him by stripping it of it’s revenue, pursuing endless investigations into him through the SEC and the DOJ and the IRS and trying to get the entire app banned in Europe, Musk would not cave. That was the first major miscalculation of the Obama machine.

With X liberated it paved the way for the second crack.

The second crack in the machine was Donald Trump and his resilience and ability to bounce back despite the never-ending assault on him personally, professionally and even physically. 7/13 was a turning point for this country. Many people saw this as the manifestation of a divine Providence or a miraculous act of God.

The last crack was the war between Israel and Hamas and the role Netanyahu played. Before we wrap up this incredible article full of invaluable insight with its bow, we have to examine what Obama did in the Middle East and how that changed the west and why did he do it?

Obama’s foreign policy is it relates to the Middle East was extremely difficult to understand. From Benghazi to Libya to Syria to Egypt to Israel to Iran Obama seemed to be doing everything he could to empower radical Islamic terrorism at the expense of Israel, the Jewish people and the conservative right.

The first insane foreign policy decision was to normalize the concept of Iran having a nuclear weapon. He wanted to give a hostile terrorist regime, the ability to have a nuclear weapon on our dime because that would be safer for America. Now, if that sounds absolutely insane to you you are not alone and despite the permissive structure and the state craft psychological engineering Obama performed on the American people this was considered insanity by many same people in Washington DC.

Yet he was able to use his permissive structure machine to make it happen.

Joe Biden made sure to continue the Obama foreign policy by kneeing Israel and not allowing it to take out Hamas.

But Benjamin Netanyahu didn’t listen in for the first time in decades of ever a small country went against the world of America. The great superpower and Netanyahu went into Rafa anyway. Despite the worldwide propaganda campaign launched against Israel and Jews, the obnoxious restraint that Biden tried to shackle him with and the insane left in the country of Israel, who uses USAID money to take him down ever since the first Obama administration.

So three men, all decided to exercise their own critical thinking and courage, and go against the political consensus, the approved narrative and the top down orders of permissive structures from the head of the snake, Obama.

This article really puts everything into perspective for me personally, and I think for anybody who reads it, especially if you read it more than once because it’s crystallizes how Obama made it possible for us to live in the Truman show and how it took not one person, but three people in three distinct conflicts to shatter the illusion and let us out of the Truman show.

What happens next hasn’t been written yet and we will see if we can hold onto the freedoms that we clawed our way into in November.
