Vladimir Lenin said it best: “The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves”. Throughout history, many governments have employed the tactic of creating some form of controlled opposition. And when these movements are well funded and organized, they often look more legitimate than the actual opposition. From inspirational leader figures pulling you into a direction desired by the people in power, to agent provocateurs creating a violent fight meant to justify a tough response from the establishment. A number of different methods are utilized, even as we speak.
For example: If a person you respect is criticized by the main stream media, you should take the fact that they appeared in the main stream media in the first place as a red flag. If they truly were a threat to the establishment, their names and what they have to say (if they walk free) would not be covered in an establishment newspaper or website that could be viewed widely by the public. They would be censored, silenced, blacked out, like many of us on social media are.
How can one fight against leaders arising out of the masses to speak out against the plan in favor of freedom? The establishment understood that a good way to accomplish this, was to create the illusion that someone was already fighting the battle for freedom for them. Someone who supported the plan, yet spoke out against it. Someone who would gain the trust of the masses, then employ diversionary tactics, further leading them into tyranny.
These are the controlled opposition. They come in many different forms, and organizations, and claim to stand for various causes. Some fill pulpits, others occupy public offices, several are broadcasters. But they are deceivers, players of a manipulation process we call the “Hegelian Dialectic”. Controlled opposition is really just what it sounds like. It is a method of infiltrating, influencing, or misleading resistance and opposition by establishment agents or groups. These agents or groups are put in place to purposefully mislead, to lead in the wrong direction, or to entirely shirk leadership at critical moments, sabotaging any real progress.
Controlled opposition effectively confuses, hijacks and diffuses grassroots movements and independent action that would otherwise be effective. The agents used are often looked at as primary leaders for a cause, and this creates and reinforces passive dependence on them as figureheads. This dependence pacifies and neutralizes all the energy, movement and goals of the true resistance. Ideas and discourse are kept under tight control, while spontaneous or organic independent actions are always suppressed. It’s a follow the leader game, but these of course are no legitimate leaders at all. Controlled opposition ensures that people don’t organize or take independent action on their own, and it keeps an eye on the real dissenters or resisters. It’s important to know that people can be used as controlled opposition consciously (with their knowledge) or unconsciously (without their knowledge). Entire movements or activist “scenes” can be infiltrated by the controlled opposition.
The establishment does this to make sure they control dissent and the exposing of truth by scratching the surface. They appear and pretend to allow a public platform for alternative views but they will never get to the real roots of the situation or truly liberate people’s minds or lives. And yes, like mentioned before, the establishment will even pretend to attack this controlled opposition, but they will not take them down entirely. In fact, they will allow the controlled opposition to “talk back” to them by using the establishment platforms. You will see them appear in interviews, in newspapers, mentioned by celebrities or important figures, while the real opposition ends up in jail, is silenced or even murdered. At all cost the establishment will make the controlled opposition look like legitimate resistance as they together silence real dissenters.
We do not need a savior in the form of a politician, a businessman, a journalist, a doctor or any other “expert” to come and save us from the nightmare that our “leaders” have created for us. When we trust popular “heroes” to come and rescue us, yet fail to see all the puppet strings that might be attached to them, we risk being lured into a trap that the powers that shouldn’t be have set for us. And they will be laughing, because we fell into their trap, without even realizing it. They are the masters of manipulation and mind control. Always beware and don’t let your guard down.
