1) piss off the world. make sure just about everyone hates you except for the other dictators, whom you make "friends" with.

2) hire a tech bro to destroy your basic bureaucratic infrastructure. which includes but is not limited to, your cyber security.

3) keep up your ongoing and never ending tirade about how only you know how to save then nation and everyone. meanwhile, the barn door to your cyber security is now wide open

4) we wake up one day to find various critical infrastructure systems hacked and virtually everyone is locked out. the nation comes to a grinding halt

5) oddly though, the video feed from the White House, magically works well enough and our tvs operate just well enough, to hear the presidential address to the nation.

6) now the fun part, because he basically pissed off the world, he can now blame anyone and everyone he wants, except of course, the truly bad actors who are long known to be hacking other nations for years: Russia, China, North Korea and Iran; to name the top ones, are not mentioned. but no matter how absurd his allegations against whom he chooses, nothing can be done to prevent it. why?

7) because now he can declare a national emergency. due to the very nature of very critical infrastructure been basically shut down

8) anything and everything now is on the table for the orange idiot, his room full of dopes and project 2025 stooges, to do what they please.

yeah, it's tinfoil hat territory, but honestly, given the present landscape of our country and all the events that lead us up to now, is it really all that far fetched?

1. No, it isn't that far fetched.

I came across this on bsky-"American Panopticon"-panopticon allows a watchman to observe occupants without the occupants knowing whether or not they are being watched.

4. Excellent article

If the bizarre Trump interview hadn't been published on the same day, the panopticon essay would have made a bigger splash, I think.

Here's an archived link:

3. Subject line typo

"Fall flag" ---> "false flag," I assume.

And yes, totally plausible. In there somewhere, perhaps under point five, is the fact that the president can shut down the internet. Other countries have done this during times of "unrest," so we should anticipate this tactic being used here too, either a total shut-off or perhaps limited access to, let's see, "facilitate emergency response and public safety." Yeah, that sounds about right.

5. What tin hat?

Treason, plain as day.

What makes me sad is we had four years to prevent it and got nowhere.

And now, when the shitnozzle has clogged the fan, Javaman and We the People who have noticed also find it seems they are pretty much alone.

We are not. We just need to organize and get busy.

6. Sounds like pretty much what is happening as we watch...

People in the streets is a hopeful sign, but concerns about the next election cycle loom large.

7. As a farsighted, (I think) sometimes tin foil hat dude myself.

This is realistic and not tinfoil hat territory.

IMO
