Have elites and politicians become this overconfident because they saw how compliant people were? (twitter.com)

Overconfident? Nope.

The public that knows this is bullshit won't do anything, because the other half that believes government propaganda are weaponized to defend any and all lies in the name of anti-"badthing".

Politicians, elites, let's just say the new Noble class hasn't thinly stretched anything that actually matters or could threaten their positions in any way. There's nothing overconfident about the actual valuation of reality.

The government has a monopoly on violence, a monopoly on spying, and a monopoly on secrecy. Corporations either bend the knee and profit, or they get regulated out of existence. Our government security clearance fraud and stamping a “need to know” on every inconvenient document has been happening since JFK died. It’s a banana republic and will continue to be until all 3 monopolies above are broken into a thousand pieces and scattered to the wind.

I have a different conclusion, they're not overconfident, they're getting their dirty laundry out now while they hold power because they feel like if it's out now there's less of the 'we found this new crime so guillotine them' later on.

Much like the authoritarian shit that's in overdrive now, they are on the decline and many of them have realised it so they've gone into overdrive pushing things to 11 hoping to remain in power or slowly drip feeding the shit they've done so that there's a hope people pass them by since they know it all when the day of the axe comes.

I do sense the desperation but is that day of the rope really going to come? I'm pretty sure a lot of them are going to scatter like cockroaches like Larry Fink going on a whiny tour that ESG is too politicised and trying to fade into the background.

I doubt it'll be an organised purge like we would all hope (be it a political purge or a criminal purge with huge amounts going to prison forever)

My prediction is more that all the safety nets that have kept the left safe will simply collapse and they'll die in huge numbers. The New York incident is one of those examples, they are going to walk around, doing their thing like they always do, not realising NO ONE is protecting them anymore and they'll simply die. By the time they realise the change it'll be too late and so many will have died they'll no longer be a voice in society. The right that have guns won't rush to their aid, they'll focus on protecting their own first and it'll be a bloodbath for years to come.

They aren't helping their case blaming or mentioning directed energy weapons, only making it more easy to dismiss as just another crazy conspiracy theorist. Look at the facts, it's simple enough to draw much less crazy conclusions based on probability.

It's not the only claim in the video that's bogus:

What she fails to also mention is how the media hasn't even once interviewed a grieving parent. Not a single parent looking for their children.

Took 2 seconds to search up this:

there's nothing about energy weapons in the video.

it may have been an issue of how early this video was compared to others. There was some serious lack of coverage early on, and even now the coverage of the event is very underplayed.

East Palestine got more coverage than this. That was mostly thanks to Trump

Yeah, basic bitch arson that the government was happy to ignore. I don't think they wanted to kill hundreds of people, but they did want to evict them.

The elites are overconfident because they are genuine narcissists and megalomaniacs; not because of evidence.

Hawaii is a leftist state. Nearly 100% hard-line Democrat. Political activists were harassing people investigating the fires. Even 3rd party rescue units from the National Guard tole O'Keefe Media Group reporters that the Sherriff was trying to control everyone and everything.

They probably did start the fire. My question is: do we know how many people are dead, or are we just going to say: "1000 people are missing" without ever following up on that number?
