The mechanics, time, and proliferation = technology (the internet).

...In the film "V" for vendetta, there was part of it where the inspector said "Why come forward now?"
The reply " I was waiting for you inspector, I was waiting for you.."

The technocrats have been waiting for the technology to be implemented...Global connection = instantaneous global fear. Con--vid, anyone?
Is it coincidence we have had 'germ free' obsessions for the last three decades from the big pharmaceutical companies? (house wipes, kitchen cleaner, dettol, blah blah).

Setting up the narrative(fear of germs) to set it up the next part...? (a subconscious fear).

I don't know.

I DO know that 'if it walks like, a duck and talks like a duck, it's most probably a duck....'

If you were being conspiratorial about it, and traced everything back from, say, the 1920's(ish) and the introduction of the 'Bernays style' of psi-ops in marketing - such vegetable oils replacing animal fats for cooking ingredients (the biggest killer in history) and then layer on all the seemingly innocuous (but still unhealthy) occurrences since...and then see it from the conspiratorial perspective...
(for example, the keto diet flies in the face of everything 'our generation' was taught about food and nutrition....We were taught carbs are food, not an addictive substance that we can more healthily live without)

Keep layering things on from that perspective ...And we get a very convincing duck - who's name is eugenics (I think).
Other models do not hold up the same way.
'Evil capitalism ?' - too many illogical anomalies. for that to be true.
'Evil communism?' - That is technocracy - in a bygone age.
'Blind randomness'? - When the 'blind randomness' forever slants in one direction - it's no longer random, but a pattern..
.....and if you look at things mathematically - taking all probabilities/chance as a 50/50 for any decision or event (say healthy/unhealthy)... it soon becomes mathematically impossible for it to be truly 'random'.

People reactions are being managed through long term psychological operations.
The useful idiots (today's midwits especially) are actively assisting the megalomaniac's, by building their own fucking gallows !

(whispers) ....And I'm still an optimist ! lol
