Much like the Feudal Kings and Lords, the purpose of these fears and crises is not to solve them; rather, it is to exploit them for further enhancement of power and wealth. The common folk are made to fear and told they must do their part, sacrifice to defeat the King’s chosen foe. People then become distracted and confused by the King’s proclamations and purse strings opened to show the King’s good intent, but those are enticing tricks of the powerful. Give the population big worries and tell them whatever is needed – to defeat the grave enemy (whether it is their next-door neighbor, an unseen virus, or a climate catastrophe) – and find the right people, experts, scientists, educators or media manipulators to sell them this Big Lie.
