Tell us the bed you lay in and maybe we can antecipate who you really are.

Typical British Courts’ judge wig.

The Starlet looked at the papers tossed onto his desk. What Glassy Surfer might not have known about his judge robe’s friend was his faithful education at security and geopolitical agencies like The Organism: that kind of training carries unparalleled proficient techniques that lead any public opinion in any part of the world to admit that a street light post can perpefctly piss on the dog.

Amazing…

At that time, there were no good outcomes from the most explored Double Express’ issue which was the damn dossiercracy arresting the highest height national business entrepreneurs as well as big baroons of the Republic itself. No one, de facto, had great stability and autonomy for soaring in the blue sky. There were, obviously, the political projects of a strong and sovereign nation, but the holders for such implementations lacked a little more dignified life in order to escape from their detractors’ maneuvers.

Luckily, Glassy Surfer had not yet realised that even The Starlet had his own tremendous glass roof.

That roof’s name was Big Dollar.

In the dossier duel, some cold blood is a mandatory so as not to show away the rising tide is the same one that falls. Glassy Surfer’s fall also came about on the basis of some naivety and complete ignorance of this game rule: a game that eventually girdles everyone by not allowing the slightest breath of any social or status distinction.

Big Dollar had been sentenced for 11 years due to his connections with The Contractor along former president — The Swarf — term. Nothing too serious: electronic anklet and house arrest. After all, money is money anywhere on this racked planet.

Big Dollar’s silence was momentary; and The Starlet knew it. After being removed from his position of Minister of Justice, nothing was left to pursue but a possible public career enjoying the wave rides of Car Wash operation, an ephemeris that had become a kind of political party for the eyes of so many. Fanaticism about quenching corruption would still lift the former judge to the pinnacle of a presidential race. Sometimes, the people don’t know much where the tip of the nose is heading to.

In that Super Friday live broadcast, Double Express was happy to address the foundations of what turned out to be the Hybrid War. The origin of this war dates back to the turn of the millennium: internationally, 9/11; nationally, the Banestado CC5 bank accounts. Homeland & overseas, a new way to lead and reshape minds in the face of what the pandemic started to call the new normal.

The exceptionality of that moment among quarantines and lockdowns did not demand much from the show participants in the second half of the programme. Swiss Kiss and The Lecturer were amazed at The Thai’s ability for the full connection of those features whose customary bullies brought on by the pandemic were rigourosly released after 9/11. In fact, there was nothing new: the new normal had already been established for two decades since 2001 in the USA, and 2003 in Brazil. In terms of populational control evolution, an improvement over the 1965 Jakarta Method in Indonesia.

The new normal arrival would be nothing in contrast of the development of some kind of The Reset — Part II. The first cycle had taken over the past two decades, an amount of time which has consistently helped governments better finance their black ops through a sophisticated money laundering system. This system also included a sort of seduction towards aspirants of climbing new social positions of wealth in an increasingly fragmented society.

So, what could be seen along the employment of such strategy was ordinary people starting businesses that would never go bust. It could rain dogs & cats: nothing seemed to arrest the financial breath of the enterprise. Civil construction businesses, for instance, have gained the status of national champions and most cities in the country saw their architectural inheritance being razed by the raising of increasingly tall buildings: flats being sold at US$ 500,000 and an occupancy rate close to 100%. “Where did so much money come from ?!”

There was no secret: the way to make money with a close to 0% risk had to do with laundering. No industry or wealth manufacturing was really necessary. It was undoubtedly possible to win the bread in shell companies once most of the local authorities were also part of the sharing scheme. Thus, it seemed that nothing else could be fairer than investing huge amounts of time on greater control of minds through fear.

The post 9/11 world had the advantage of this long-lasting test: through trauma, it had been possible to reprogram and reconfigure minds — a change in behavior that went from the social tolerable manners to insidious malice. All that everyone could testify was a breakdown of those few safety instances that made life come to a good pace. Everything still out of control would have the justice system blessings in the near future. The judge robe & wig would be much more relevant than any legislator because, by that very strange law system, many traumas could be perpetrated until a mind gave in to a reconfiguration in forms like panicking even when someone needs to go out on the streets.

Before the pandemics, things were sadly much, much worse than the false idea the desease was the one to make everything upside down from that time on. It wasn’t. The new normal started in the beginning of the century… and no one had even noticed it.
