  1. LIHOP: Let it happen on purpose. You know something bad is coming along, but you have an agenda to push, regardless of it’s your own or some group like the WEF is phoning it in (since you’re entire so-called administration has been the proverbial equivalent of a “Deer in the Headlights” tenure). So, what do you do? You let it happen and do nothing about it.

    Emperor Jr’s phoned-in agenda is to deliberately crash our country (which is pretty much done at this point) so small PP’s phoned-in agenda can ‘fix’ it by establishing our 15-minute prison system that promotes eternal rentals for everything from shelter to vehicles and everything in-between, eliminating the concept of ownership. Meanwhile you will be so drugged up you will be ‘happy’ as well. Ownership will only apply to one small group while everyone else gets completely screwed over (which is why there is so much free money for various companies to buy up every piece of real estate they can lay their hands on; this is NO accident).
