Balance is important.
People say you need balance in your life. You need to eat a balanced diet. You need balance between family and work. Balance between work and fun. Your investments should be balanced, diversified. Obviously, you need physical balance as well, or you will fall over.
Balance doesn’t seem to ever be used in a negative way. It’s always viewed as a good thing, in a positive light. No one ever feels like they have too much balance in their life.
US Congressman Hank Johnson is a big proponent of balance. In 2010, he famously expressed concern over the Island of Guam. He feared that if the US built a military base on one side of the island, the added weight on one side could cause the island to tip over. Some reading this may think I’m joking, but he actually said it, and he’s still a US Congressman.
Since this statement in 2010, Hank Johnson has been pretty quiet. Recently, he was released from ‘time out’ to tell America he believes the classified documents discovered in Biden’s possession were, in fact planted there.
A set-up.
But, why would the Democrats have a man who is considered a joke to so many deliver this theory? The only thing I can think of is they don’t really want people to believe the documents were planted; they just want it to seem as though they are fighting for Biden. Likely for the Democrats, it’s best if old Joe takes the fall on this one, as the illusion that Biden is running the country is becoming harder and harder to maintain.
It requires balance to maintain control, to create and maintain a narrative. A population needs to be divided somewhere around the middle, otherwise the narrative—and control—starts to fall apart.
It is human nature to want and need to be a part of the majority, especially if the majority is significant. People are conditioned to ‘run with the herd.’ Standing on your own is dangerous. When a clear majority is formed, or appears to be formed, those in the minority quickly run to the other side, as being in the minority is dangerous in their minds. To the Cabal, this is like someone yelling ‘fire!’ in a crowded theater—the frantic rush to the exits causes the ‘system’ to fail.
If roughly half the population is Democrat and half is Republican, half liberal and half conservative, the population can more easily be controlled. You need a slight lean to one side in order to elect politicians, of course. 52/48 works exceptionally well. 51/49, and people may suggest voter fraud.
If things get beyond the 60/40 range, everything starts to fall apart, because the people in the 40 start to run to the other side, afraid of being a part of a significant minority.
Have you ever noticed, in the history of our elections, how the popular vote seems to generally be determined by a couple of percentage points? Even in obviously-rigged elections?
Another way to maintain balance is to have very little difference between the philosophies of the two sides being presented. If you have left-wing liberals on one side and right-wing conservatives on the other, even if they are evenly balanced in number, you will have issues, as you will have a divided nation.
For this reason, it’s best to have both sides be somewhat similar in their policies and beliefs. Moderate Liberals on one side and Moderate Conservatives on the other. Every four or eight years, the people in charge of controlling the country—if not the entire world—determine which side will be voted in and which way policies will lean during that time period.
Again, it’s human nature to run to the perceived majority for safety. This is why the perception of a slight majority needs to be maintained by the Cabal, because, as Hank Johnson would say, it might tip the island otherwise.
For decades, the appearance of balance has been maintained in the United States. RINO’s on one side and Moderate Liberals on the other.
The fact is, both sides work for the same people.
Kayfabe is a pro-wrestling term that is used often in the ‘truth community.’ It refers to two sides pretending to be at odds with each other in order to create drama as part of a storyline. Like the match-maker assigned by a wrestling league, the Cabal ultimately determines the winners of our elections.
The wrestlers could be seen as the RINO and Liberal Democrat politicians. Depending on how the voter naturally leans, a little left or a little right, will determine how they see these politicians. If you lean a little right, you’ll see the RINO as being the ‘babyface,’ or the good guy. If you lean a little left, you’ll see the RINO as the ‘heel,’ or the bad guy.
Whether you cheer for the babyface or the heel, the outcome of the match has already been predetermined. It’s all for show. Just as with politics, the outcomes are predetermined, as the Deep State Cabal can’t afford to leave important decisions in the hands of we citizens—decisions that affect their control.
This ‘show’ is performed so the people believe there is an actual democratic process taking place. Without the people believing that THEY control who is put into office—that THEIR vote counts, the system falls apart, and the Cabal loses control. The Cabal controls the world through illusion, and when that illusion is broken, their power and control ceases to exist.
When Trump became President, everything was turned upside down. The Cabal lost a control they have maintained for decades, if not centuries. There was no longer just an illusion of the politicians being different from one another; Trump actually WAS different from them, and he didn’t work for the pro-wrestling league’s owner, and he didn’t get paid to pull his punches and overreact to vicious slaps.
The people voted for a real man when they voted for Trump, and election fraud was needed to make it appear that the votes were more evenly-divided than they really were. If people knew the majority was bigger than what they were shown, more people would have run to the majority, causing an even bigger loss of control by the Cabal.
Trump had the majority, and the longer he was in office, exposing corruption, the larger that majority would become. He would stretch the 60/40 limits, and likely cause a D5 avalanche to occur. This resulted in the full weaponization of the mainstream media, who attacked Trump relentlessly from the get-go in order to keep the country from breaking through that essential 60/40 barrier.
Things were so bad that the media couldn’t just promote the idea that Trump wasn’t a good President, but they had to push the idea that he was a criminal. Extreme measures were and still are needed in order for the Cabal to keep the balance—to maintain some remnant of control.
With Trump taking office, the Democrat politicians could no longer be moderate Liberals; this wasn’t enough to counterbalance Trump and the rise of Trumpism, so Democrat politicians had to become extreme progressives.
In walks ‘the Squad,’ and especially AOC (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.) These extreme progressives were needed to maintain what the Cabal sees as balance. Extreme Progressives were voted in during the 2018 election, and existing, ‘moderate Liberals’ suddenly became more extreme overnight, MORE left.
The Cabal risked everything to reclaim the Executive Office—to get Trump out. One could argue that they were forced to put Biden into office, even if they would have preferred to go with someone else.
With the removal of Trump—or rather, with Trump allowing himself to be removed from office—there needed to be a counterbalancing, as the perceived weight had over-corrected in favor of the left.
At this point, AOC and the Squad needed to take a backseat, so they exited the stage. With Trump out of office, they seem to have disappeared a bit. And other far-left Democrats, such as Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders have also joined the Squad backstage, out of the spotlight. Chuck Schumer, Dianne Feinstein, Cory Booker, Ted Lieu, Maxine Waters, Jerry Nadler … all virtually AWOL during the first two years of Biden’s presidency.
While many far-left politicians have been well outside of the spotlight since Trump left office, so are many of the RINOs like Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell, and Lindsey Graham. Because Trump exposed these RINOs for what they are while he was in office, they hold no real value to the Cabal on the current stage, as no one on the Right still believes they fight for them.
With Biden in office, the spotlights have been dimmed on the far-left Democrats, but it doesn’t mean far-left policies aren’t still in place. It has been important for the far-left politicians to be quiet while their policies are rolled out, as this helps to maintain the perceived balance needed to maintain control.
When Trump was in office, he put forth new policies that helped the country, helped the people and replaced policies designed to enrich the Deep State Cabal. These policies were reversed as soon as Biden entered the White House, crippling domestic oil production, hurting American businesses with climate change agendas, all to enrich Deep State players.
Build Back Better didn’t refer to We, the People … it referred to [their] system.
The illusion of balance has to be maintained in order to keep control.
With all of this said, I’ve noticed that, since the start of Biden’s third year in office, and with the classified documents being exposed, there seems to be a plan in place to jettison him from the stage. I’ve also noticed that some of these far-left politicians that were so loud when Trump was in office and so quiet in Biden’s first two years are beginning to reappear—to make some noise again.
Is it time to lose the balance? Is it time to destroy the system? Is it time to tip the island?

Excellent description of how the positive concept of balance can (and will) be used in a negative way to maintain all of the illusions put in place for 'we the people' and to prevent us from taking actions to upset that. It has been interesting to see all of the big-name, shrill thugs fade into the background as the policies good for the country were stopped and replaced. I had noticed those folks out of the limelight, but hadn't considered why, however, that should be obvious when we consider who truly is pulling the puppets' strings. Today, in light of the important events deliberately being hidden and the ridiculous events highlighted, the doings of Congress, with the exception of the valid committee investigations, also tend to take a backseat as the candidate 'announcements' move up. More distractions from the evil that is being done to this nation. Balance is important in all areas of life and it is time to tip it way beyond the 60% level in our nation! Thank you for your excellent analysis.
Very good to refresh our collective mind of the reality that’s seldom visible.
