Who’s Pulling the Strings – Ep 26-259

To be a solid citizen of America can be frustrating. I see lots of crazy happening in this country, so much so that it becomes difficult to remind myself that it’s only the tiniest amount. It’s just that we now amplify it to make our points.

We’re getting fleeced—and Americans finally realize it.

Not everybody, of course. Some people could catch the government standing in their living room holding their television and ask, “Do you need help loading that?”

But millions of Americans have awakened to something disturbing: our lives are not nearly as much our own as we were led to believe.

We’ve lived under the illusion of freedom for decades. We vote. We pay taxes. We complain about the government. Then we elect another group of people who promise to investigate the first group—usually just in time to qualify for government pensions.

It’s the world’s longest-running magic act.

The magician says, “Watch the Constitution.”

And while you’re watching, somebody steals your wallet, your healthcare, your retirement, your children’s education, and half the appliances in your house because apparently your gas stove was melting Greenland.

Then somebody sounded the alarm.

What’s that guy’s name? Oh yeah…Donald Trump.

Trump told Americans he would show us how the game is played. And whatever you think of the man, he certainly showed us the game.

He walked into Washington, flipped on the kitchen light, and suddenly the cockroaches started holding press conferences.

Trump didn’t create institutional corruption. He interrupted its brunch.

He exposed a government filled with nameless, faceless people who seem to wield extraordinary power yet somehow never appear on a ballot. Presidents change. Congress changes. Administrations change. But the same bureaucratic barnacles remain attached to the ship of state.

Apparently, democracy means you can elect the captain—but good luck removing the barnacles.

People call it the deep state. The establishment. The permanent bureaucracy. The administrative state. I don’t care what name you use. When unelected people can outlast presidents, obstruct policies, selectively enforce laws, and never explain themselves to the public, we don’t have public servants.

We have squatters with dental plans.

For years, I resisted the idea that some cabal pulls the world’s strings. Now, I think you’d have to be a fool not to wonder who keeps supplying the string.

Look at what we’ve learned.

Government manipulated information. Media manipulated stories. Universities manipulated language. Corporations manipulated culture. And all of them expected us to believe they were operating independently.

That’s like five teenagers emerging from the same locked bathroom and insisting they were each in there alone.

Kevin Jackson has been called, the “white-collar” Joe Rogan. Given their similar backgrounds in TV, comedy, and martial arts, it’s easy to see why people enjoy Kevin’s show so much.
