Before the scripted nature of professional wrestling became widely known, the term “kayfabe” was used as a code among industry insiders to discuss matters in public without revealing the staged nature of their discipline. It was also used as a warning to other wrestlers that someone who was not “in the know” was in the vicinity; this could even include wrestlers’ family members who had not been clued into the scripted nature of professional wrestling.
A “kayfabe interview” for example meant the person being interviewed remained “in character”; when speaking of a “kayfabe girlfriend”, it implied she wasn’t actually romantically involved. A person could also be said to be “kayfabing” someone, by presenting storylines and rivalries as real.
Indeed the scripted nature of professional wrestling was unknown to most for a long time; the first public acknowledgment of its staged nature came in 1989 when WWF owner Vince McMahon testified before the New Jersey State Senate that wrestling was not a competitive sport. And indeed until as late as the mid-1990s those in the industry believed it was a secret that must be protected at all costs.
A fascinating aspect is that, even after the scripted nature of that discipline became an open secret, most fans refused to acknowledge it. To this day, most enthusiasts suspend disbelief, and feel, act and react as if the whole thing was real.
The heroes of the wrestling theater are called faces (short for “babyfaces”); their personalities are crafted to elicit the support from the audience through traits such as humility, patriotism, determination, etc. Faces usually win their matches on the basis of their technical skills and are sometimes portrayed as underdogs to enhance the story. On the other side of the dialectic, so-called “heels” are villainous or antagonistic characters, whose personalities are crafted to elicit a negative response from the audience; they typically embrace traditionally negative traits such as narcissism, egomania, unprompted rage, sadism, and general bitterness, and employ underhanded tactics such as cheating and exploiting technicalities.
Despite the archetypal character settings, different crowds may still react differently. It is known for example that older male fans tend to cheer for heels and boo faces, while children and female fans tend to stay on the cheer-for-faces-boo-for-heels sentiment. Again, the most fascinating aspect is these emotions of support or disdain are 100% real, as if the whole thing wasn’t scripted.
In professional wrestling, storylines are typically played out beyond the matches themselves; for example, if a wrestler appears on a show after a “brutal” attack they would “sell” the injury by limping or having their arm heavily bandaged in-between matches. Real-life deaths were sometimes even scripted into the narrative where promoters would come up with a kayfabe reason to work the event into the storyline.
Where are we going with all this? After all, this isn’t a website about professional wrestling.
Our contention is that kayfabe is not limited to the world of wrestling. Actually, that is an undisputed fact, as “reality TV” is known by now to be as fake as any other piece of TV fiction. What we are saying is that the same dynamics, the same principles, the same understanding, the same archetypes, and the same underlying psychological tools are used in what is commonly called “the news” and what is generally referred to as “politics”.
The world is a stage. Nearly everything on TV or “in the news”, whether acclaimed or criticized, is fake and/or scripted.
The most fascinating aspect is the extent to which people are capable of suspending disbelief and ignoring evidence contradicting the theatrical narrative being presented; indeed, actual knowledge may even be ignored. This was highlighted in the case of wrestling, or can be observed by noticing how concerned some people may become with reality TV or “celebrity gossip news”. It can also be observed when showing a movie or cartoon to a child; you may tell and remind the child it’s fiction, you may even announce the ending and try reassuring him that Lex Luthor won’t prevail so there’s no reason to worry; still, he will actually worry when the kryptonite is around superman’s neck and his hero is about to drown. He has not developed the ability to reason himself into adopting the necessary distance.
A perfect example of a kayfabe character in modern US politics is Donald Trump. The fact that a NYC socialite and billionaire, casino owner and reality TV star, über-Zionist and apparatchik, is widely considered an “outsider” is an amazing thing to behold.
The 2016 election was merely the prologue. The absurd “Russia collusion”, “Mueller investigation”, “impeachment trial”, etc. were all part of the same theater. Whether Trump is the “heel” and Soros is the “face”, or whether it’s the other way around, doesn’t matter. It’s all a script. It’s fake. Each one is playing a role, catering to a different demographic. The sad thing is most people who voted for Trump were (and still are) very well-intended; their righteousness, their legitimate sense of revolt against the “deep State” was used against them. Much like anti-war activists, righteously disgusted by the 2003 Iraq war, were led to support Obama, and kept supporting him even after he revealed himself to be a worse war monger than his predecessor.
The kayfabe can also be observed in the ever-shifting media-directed outrage. It’s akin to Orwell’s Two Minutes Hate. Every week the “enemy” changes, and we forget everything of the previous one. Gun owners. Anti-vaxxers. Muslims. Immigrants. China. Covidiots. Blacks. Racists. Trump. Rapists. Back to gun owners. Anti-vaxxers again. Karens. Liberals. Boomers. Christians. Feminisists. Conservatives. Different demographics have different enemies, but the common denominator is that the outrage is ever-shifting, and channeled towards fluctuating categories, away from the occult oligarchy controlling the money and acting behind the scenes.
The horrible thing about the Two Minutes Hate was not that one was obliged to act a part, but that it was impossible to avoid joining in. Within thirty seconds any pretence was always unnecessary. A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledge hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one’s will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic. And yet the rage that one felt was an abstract, undirected emotion which could be switched from one object to another like the flame of a blowlamp.
Orwell’s 1984.
In pure Orwellian fashion, “we’ve always been at war with Eastasia”. The 20th-century geopolitical strategy of tension was another theater. It was staged and scripted, another example of kayfabe, but which cost hundreds of millions of lives.
Antony Sutton, an acclaimed British and American economist, historian, professor, and writer, was forced out of his position as research fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution on War, Revolution, and Peace after showing that the conflicts of the Cold War were not fought to restrain communism, but were instead organized in order to generate multibillion dollar armaments contracts; the United States, through financing the Soviet Union, directly or indirectly armed both sides in (at least) Korea and Vietnam.
In his book The Best Enemy Money Can Buy, Sutton looked at the role of military technology transfers up to the 1980s. Appendix B of that text contained the text of his 1972 testimony before Subcommittee VII of the Platform Committee of the Republican Party in which he summarized the essential aspects of his overall research:
In a few words: there is no such thing as Soviet technology. Almost all — perhaps 90–95 percent — came directly or indirectly from the United States and its allies. In effect the United States and the NATO countries have built the Soviet Union. Its industrial and its military capabilities. This massive construction job has taken 50 years. Since the Revolution in 1917. It has been carried out through trade and the sale of plants, equipment and technical assistance.
Sutton’s next three published books (Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution, Wall Street and FDR and Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler) detailed Wall Street’s involvement in the Bolshevik Revolution to destroy Russia as an economic competitor and its decisive contributions to the rise of Adolf Hitler. Sutton concluded that it was all part of the economic power elites’ “long-range program of nurturing collectivism” and fostering “corporate socialism” in order to ensure “monopoly acquisition of wealth”.
In the early 1980s, Sutton used a combination of public-domain information on Skull and Bones (such as Yale yearbooks) and previously unreleased documents sent to him by Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt (whose father was a Skull and Bones member) to write America’s Secret Establishment: An Introduction to the Order of Skull and Bones, which he said was his most important work.
In that book he highlights, among other things, how the Maoist takeover of China, and later in the 20th century the rise of China as a superpower competing with the US, was yet another “arm of the dialectic”.
During World War II the United States helped the Chinese Communists into power. […] The story of the betrayal of China and the role of The Order will have to await yet another volume. At this time we want only to record the decision to build Communist China as a new arm of the dialectic – a decision made under President Richard Nixon and placed into operation by Henry Kissinger (Chase Manhattan Bank) and George “Poppy” Bush (The Order).
And indeed, during World War II ‘Yale in China’ was a primary instrument used by the U.S. Establishment and its Office of Strategic Services (OSS) to install the Maoists into power. ‘Yale in China’ was run by OSS operative Reuben Holden, the husband of Bush’s cousin, and also a member of Skull and Bones. Throughout the 20th century, figures such as Sidney Rittenberg, Jakob Rosenfeld, David Crook, Israel Epstein, Sidney Shapiro, Rewi Alley, Solomon Adler, Frank Coe, or Robert Lawrence Coe, even though less notable, all played for China a role as instrumental as did the more famous Henry Kissinger or Michel Oksenberg.
Of important note, Sutton’s work was never falsified: and indeed his books contain a wealth of evidence and references to corroborate his claims. Professor Richard Pipes of Harvard admits as much in his book, Survival Is Not Enough: Soviet Realities and America’s Future on page 290:
In his three-volume detailed account of Soviet Purchases of Western Equipment and Technology […] Sutton comes to conclusions that are uncomfortable for many businessmen and economists. For this reason his work tends to be either dismissed out of hand as ‘extreme’ or, more often, simply ignored.
But there is perhaps one image that, above anything else, illustrates the kayfabe nature of 20th-century history. That is the car Franz Ferdinand was killed in (which is said to have sparked World War I) bearing a license plate announcing the very date of the armistice (archive). It reads A II I1 18 (Armistice 11/11/18).
For evaluation purposes, and for our readers’ consideration, here are full PDF copies of Sutton’s most important books:
This whole “pandemic” is obviously a scripted circus: exposing it is why we created this website in the first place.
We have been highlighting the dialectic, describing its cast of clowns, speaking about its props, etc. but we have not explicitly shown it was indeed planned long in advance. Even though the coordinated behavior by the government & media already suggests it’s the case, it is still useful to remember the other clues.
In terms of evidence for that “plandemic” hypothesis we have of course Event 201, which we have contended is a provocation (rather than evidence that an actual bioweapon was unleashed). There is also the fact France just happened to classify hydroxychloroquine as a controlled substance just before the “pandemic” started. And finally there’s the case of reddit user CLO_Junkie, created 24 hours after Event 201, who moderated the subreddits /r/coronavirus and /r/China_Flu (archive).
Readers have been writing to tell us the riots and uprisings we had predicted seem to be occurring in the USA. Even though there is little doubt such violence was catalyzed by the frustration involved in weeks of house arrest, we believe there is still something missing; the story hasn’t fully taken shape yet.
Indeed these riots are still very one-sided in terms of dialectic; they correspond to the “thesis”. The antithesis were the armed protests against the lockdowns a few weeks back. While this destruction is happening, one that is clearly being fueled and exaggerated by the legacy propaganda, the “other side” (i.e. Trump and the “right”) is condemning it.
What we are waiting for is some kind of amalgamation of the thesis and antithesis: in other words we are waiting for a synthesis to form. To use the former archetypes, Occupy needs to be fighting alongside the Tea Party; in today’s jargon, BLM needs to be fighting alongside the “three percenters”. If this ever happens (more specifically: if the MSM ever starts saying it is), that would be a powerful sign that something historic is indeed happening.
This is the kind of story we are keeping an eye out for (archive 1, archive 2). When this kind of narrative becomes mainstream, when propaganda officers start saying the people are “uniting”, is when we’ll know we’re dealing with a “season finale” rather than an episodic story arc.
We continue to think things will play out in France before the USA. In that country we are waiting for the “Gilets Jaunes” to be rioting alongside the “banlieusards”; two seemingly opposing sides of the same dialectic need to reconcile for a synthesis to start forming. In the USA, it will probably have to wait until after Trump’s reelection.
Let us be clear: we are not prescient. We don’t know how things will play out in detail, or when and how the narrative will shape exactly. We are spectators of what we realize to be a reality TV show, trying to anticipate how the showrunners may have decided to play out the story. Just as you may be able to tell early in a movie that the woman will end-up kissing the hero, that doesn’t mean there aren’t going to be surprises in the scenario; and indeed good movies often involve surprises.
About the George Floyd death video itself, it seems to us like a cinematic production. Our assessment is it’s fake and that nobody died; at the very least it was a staged execution. Of course that doesn’t mean the modern USA isn’t a carceral society and violent police State; indeed it is. It’s just the truth isn’t featured on the telescreens.
The reason we arrive at this conclusion is we know central planners are obsessed with symbols, words and numbers; we thus recognize these aspects in the narration. The villain’s first name is Derek: it is derived from a Germanic name meaning “people ruler”. It’s the perfect first name for a cop. His last name is “Chauvin”, which designates an extreme form of nationalism. In other words Derek Chauvin has the perfect name for the role he is playing, a racist costume-wearing thug symbolizing “white oppression”.
George Floyd was given a very archetypal African American name, which reduces to 119 in simple gematria. That number (and its direct equivalent 911) is extremely significant for the central planners, as it represents the mythological date on which both Solomon’s temples were destroyed (9th day of the 11th month). It symbolizes catastrophe; that’s why the attacks in NYC happened on 9/11, why the emergency number is 911, why the Nice massacre happened 911 days after Lagarde’s famous numerology speech (archive), why breaking ground for the Pentagon’s construction happened on 9/11/41 (60 years before 9/11), why George HW Bush’s infamous “new world order” speech occurred on 9/11/90 (11 years before 9/11), etc. etc.
Other details comfort our hypothesis the event is a hoax or staged:
It’s a big joke. Welcome to the circus. Welcome to kayfabe.
The riots themselves are of course, and this is much less controversial, being fueled. Bricks are being left at strategic places; agent provocateurs have been proven to be taking part in the riots (archive, archive); the scene of CNN’s black reporter “getting arrested” (archive) live on air was evidently scripted; the media is doing everything in its power to enrage the people, etc.
Then there’s the context: the manufactured outrage surrounding this other scripted story, that of “Ahmaud Arbrery” having happened just recently (or perhaps it’s a coincidence his name sounds like “armed robbery”).
We realize all this must sound crazy to people who aren’t fully familiar with the scripted nature of “reality”. We sincerely believe it to be the truth however, so we spell it out as best we understand it, regardless of how it makes us look. Of course nothing is peremptory, and there is always room left for doubt.
We can promise one thing: we will keep trying to falsify this understanding. If we ever reach the conclusion we are wrong, we will admit it, and we will present our sincerest apologies.
Current events in the USA, as everything that has been happening globally for the past two months, show one thing if nothing else: humanity is being divided between those who partake in the circus, and those who refuse. The former category is huddled in large cities, whereas the rest is on the contrary trying to escape urban decay.
Indeed we are convinced that post-WW2 rural flight is reversing itself, and that it will be a major trend in the early 21st century. Such counterurbanization will be greatly fueled by the coming monetary and financial meltdown, and will be enabled by technologies that help thinking and acting locally. John Galt‘s dream of civilized, creative and productive humans forming prosperous and peaceful communities away from barbarism is all that more realistic now that local energy production and local currencies are accessible.
As the coronacircus is winding down and the narrative is continuing to be shaped, so is our website widening its scope of analysis. If you think this article was unorthodox, you haven’t seen anything yet. Stay tuned.
