Looking back (or having lived long enough to simply observe it) a clear pattern emerges as to how this system of compliance operates. A nationwide trauma is imposed upon the public which then allows the system to impose whatever new measures they wish without the pushback they might otherwise encounter. One of these key trauma events was that which was titled “911”. Before this event, one could simply board an airplane and travel where they wanted. Now you are assigned codes and if your code is “SSSS” you can expect to be subjected to even more of a public humiliation ritual than usual. Now that this has successfully become normalized, the system has now introduced what amounts to a domestic passport. The Real ID act was originally passed in 2005, justified by (what else?) "911" of course. Yet it is just now coming into full enforcement. You see, enforcement was delayed but now after the trauma styled as “covid”, people are ready for this latest level of control. The "911" event also brought about never before seen in America forms of militarized policing. When a few too many people were noticing this, a new trauma was introduced: this one titled as “The George Floyd”/BLM riots event. Instead of being forced to answer questions as to why we have a militarized police force, the system was able to offer a false choice of either “standing with our heroes in blue” or “defunding and abolishing the police”.
