* the failed “Business Plot” of 1933/34;

* totalitarianism as a means of consolidating power in the ruling class;

* so-called mis-/dis-/mal-information, censorship, and the government as the “single source of truth” (Jacinda Adern) — symptoms of emergent totalitarianism;

* warning signs pre-2020 that the existing control system was entering into terminal crisis, relating to propaganda, the international monetary and financial system, neoliberal economics, and the “War on Terror”;
