Earlier this evening I posted a translation of Friday’s report in Junge Freiheit on the German government’s warnings about expected popular uprisings next winter when the fuel shortage sets in. Prompted by the same report, our Hungarian correspondent László wrote the following essay.
The Psyop of the Great Collapse and the New Social Contract
by László
There is another aspect of the political announcements about the coming crisis in Germany: the PSYOP aspect (which I have been obsessed with since the Corona scam broke out).
In my previous [email] analysis I took everything these German politicians (Faeser and Kramer) said more-or-less at face value.
But it suddenly hit me that what “they” are telling us through the press is never an accident — it is always propaganda. Which means that the fear they are creating about the “coming crisis” is THE POINT — at least for the moment.
The Collapse Psyop
Very similar to what “they” did during the Corona scare, “they” are now using new kinds of boogeymen. From a psyop perspective it is completely independent from whether, and to what extent, the heralded next threat is unreal (Covid) or somewhat more real (total collapse) — the point is to keep the populace on edge. It is about shaping a master and servant type of psychological relationship between the state and its subjects.
Trauma Bonding
Without making a new, strong bond between the (globalist puppet) state and its subjects, totalitarian tyranny is impossible to introduce. Therefore the connection between the ruled and the rulers does not have to be positive. On the contrary, the more negative the better. It is political trauma-bonding, when the state deliberately assaults the citizenry, so that one part of society starts opposing the rulers and the other starts begging them for a solution. That is a divide et impera strategy in itself, but the point I want to make here is that even the most dissatisfied citizen must maintain a relationship with the tyrannical state and thereby acknowledge its legitimacy.
In this sense even violent mass demonstrations against the state, which the head of the German secret service is preparing for, legitimize state tyranny.
What would de-legitimize the state tyranny and also even disable it, on the other hand, would be the creation of independent power structures — and that is the worst fear of tyrants. Therefore they must make a new social contract with at least the relative majority of the ruled, which includes the empowerment of state tyranny.
This is exactly the outcome that the current official public discourse, presented in the German articles in question, is trying to achieve: voluntary subscription of the masses to state tyranny, and voluntary surrender of individual freedom and independence. The new “social contract” also includes voluntary resignation from shared power of all kinds. It only permits absolute state monopoly of arbitrarily used violence — against the populace. The (illusion of) democracy is now coming to an end. The “emergency powers” mean absolute dictatorship.
So what is happening at this very moment is the preparation of the German population for the future trauma-bonding when a really painful crisis hits. This bonding has partially been formed by the artificial Corona crisis, and “they” are now strengthening it with further kicks to the kidney for their subjects.
Subversion From Within
If the plans of the German state were simply to stage a crackdown on the population, then they would keep their violent plans for next winter secret. They would not talk about a violent policing strategy if they wanted to use the power of surprise in physical confrontations on the streets and before the courts.
So these articles signal psychological and political operations happening NOW — and the weapon is making the situation escalate and TALKING about it as something INEVITABLE.
Which means that the content of the articles, i.e. shaping public opinion, IS IN ITSELF THE WEAPON at this point. The German head of secret services (Kramer) is engaging in psychological operations against the German people.
Love Your Slavery
So the main outcome “they” obviously want to achieve with this propaganda is to make a significant percentage of the Germans VOLUNTARILY go along with the “crisis” (artificially induced shortages and social unrest) and the “response” to it (totalitarian tyranny).
This psyop started much earlier: during the summer of 2021 when the German authorities started to tell German citizens to use makeshift candle devices for heating and to start hoarding food. They virtually put the Germans on war a footing — without any visible sign. It was almost a year before the Ukrainian theater (of war) opened up. I remember thinking back then that it did not make much sense. Now the puzzle is complete: the psyop part of the Great Collapse of Europe started then.
Unfortunately Hungary will follow Germany down the sink — as has always happened in history…

Psywar Uber Alles.
Violent mass demonstrations would undoubtedly legitimize the state’s response to it but at the same time would legitimize the violence carried out against the state. Parallel power structures are good but there’s no reason why both cannot be used simultaneously to better effect. An example that comes to mind is The Troubles in northern Ireland with Sinn Féin acting as the political wing of the IRA. A credible threat of violence means the parallel power structure has more credibility and cannot be ignored by the existing government. Most resistance movements eventually develop both capabilities, ie., if they start out as violent they develop a political arm and vice-versa.
@ The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
Spot on.
And it shows the amazing hubris that ‘they’ think they will always be able to beat down, or otherwise control, the resistance.
But then again, ‘they’ are tricky. Their blueprint, Sri Lanka is now going full NWO with the new president being a WEF-stooge who immediately introduced QR codes for fuel rationing.
I think the Sri Lanka episode is more illustrative that the globalist elites when confronted by an angry populace will double down on stupid instead of backing down. And truly, they have little choice but to do otherwise. Too many people are wise to their game but it is a dangerous time for those who oppose the elites since there is not a credible alternate power structure and as long as the elites control the instruments of violence its a losing hand to openly oppose them with force.
I am optimistic with developments from the West’s war with Russia. The depth of their anger and the extreme measures by which the globalist elites have tried to isolate and destroy the Russian economy in order to destroy Putin give a hint to just how effective he is and how much they fear the alternative to the West which their foolishness has precipitated. A multi-polar world doesn’t guarantee eventual capture by the elites but as in business, competition eventually leads to better products and services at cheaper costs. Breaking the governance monopoly is precisely what has the globalists so terrified and willing to risk nuclear war in order to stop Putin over what otherwise would just be a peripheral power struggle to rein in a wayward russian region.
The Germans never learn.
Had the bloody Germans won WW I we wouldn’t be in this position in the first GD place.
Follow the cancer known as the Bolsheviks. They destroyed the Russian Empire, then turned on those that did their dirty work. (Whites vs Reds) Which brought Communist/Socialist Genocide to the USSR.
Bolshevik cancer infected Germany post WW1. Did the same thing for 20 years before Hitler caught on and tried to burn them out. Shut down the brothels in Berlin that trafficked, enslaved and sold children for sex and worse. What books were burned? Pro Pedophile, and pro sexual deviance books.
The same is happening in the US present day. Unless you are pro-pedophile, and pro-lgbtq death cult, then you are their enemy and a target of their tyranny. Look to history for the truth before it is all erased.
I have nothing but admiration for Laszlo’s English, but:
In para 2 Kramer is said to be a “politician” but at 2 other points he is described as “head of secret service” or “services”.
Kramer is neither, and especially not an elected politician, as he is a public servant. He is head of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, abbreviated BfV, in the German state of Thuringia only.
This means he is like the head of a regional office of the service which conducts internal espionage within Germany on behalf of the State. Think FBI or MI5.
Most countries have at least three espionage bodies for internal, external and military. In the USA, CIA for external, FBI for internal, DIA for military, with overlapping and turf wars, of course.
Using “secret service” for Kramer is also misleading because there is a separate well-known body by this name in the USA, the Secret Service.
The only way that Kramer is “secret service” is if you translate the German noun for that, which is GEHEIMDIENST, into English. Then yes, he is head of a provincial office of A, but not THE secret service, as Germany has various ones BfV, BND, MAD and so on.
@ Reconquista
You are right. An important point.
Any police state uses its agencies for its own purposes. Their stated goals and objectives mean zero. Look at the FBI, DOJ, CIA and DOD in the USA today.
Only a fool ignores the clear signals of the police state.
But to choose the government that Jesus Christ offers and love your neighbor as yourself and ignore the government’s threats, psyops, and gaslighting would likely result in the delegitimization of the government’s authority as the “governed” have chosen another ruler to govern them that they trust more than the self-serving government that is presently in place. So…instead of rebelling against them, which would give them back-handed legitimacy, simply ignore them and serve the Lord of all. Of course, this was done during the 1930s with the end result being the Nuremberg trials and not a few public hangings.
Leave ole Jesus out of this, what is coming is going to be Biblical as in old Testament and the people deserve it good and hard, as for Nuremburg? It was nothing but victors retribution and had nothing to do with so called justice and it is the reason of why we are where we are today.
Thank you – makes up for the Jesus rescue plan.
I think it’s gonna be more New Testament like, Revelation for example, where God makes sure that the karmic principles of the universe will apply.
“He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.”
Legitimacy is the coin of the realm in unconventional warfare, or what is often termed today as “4GW” or fourth-generation warfare. According to the late Colonel John Boyd, USAF, who was one of the finest military minds the U.S. ever produced, war was waged in the moral, mental and physical domains, with the moral being paramount. Meaning that whoever is perceived as holding the moral high ground has a pretty good chance of winning the conflict. It then follows that seizing and holding the moral high-ground is paramount to the successful waging of 4GW.
This is what is meant by legitimacy being the coin of the realm. An immoral and vicious regime risks losing popular support, one which is seen to be morally-upstanding and virtuous, on the other hand, can only gain support in this manner.
The primacy of legitimacy is why we are now witness to a race of sorts, between the rapidly deteriorating reservoir of good will and loss of legitimacy by the various failing governments around the developed world, versus the real-time construction of the New World Order, “Build Back Better” and the whole agenda of the World Economic Forum.
Governments around the world – in nations ranging from the United States to Germany to Sri Lanka to Holland – are hemorrhaging legitimacy at a furious rate. Such that some say they are “auto-delegitimizing” themselves, so ill-considered and damaging are their actions. Concurrently, behind the scenes, many of these governments are working furiously to put into place the agenda of the World Economic Forum, the “Great Reset” as it is termed. Will the new framework for the so-called “fourth industrial revolution” be put into place before their wellspring of legitimacy runs out?
(Some would say they didn’t have much legitimacy in the first place, but we are speaking here of perception as much as reality)
The foregoing suggests that humanity might employ a strategy of resistance which portrays the emerging new regime in an unfavorable light. Kinetic warfare is off-the-table for the moment; having to resort to it would suggest that whoever spills blood can’t win the day with his ideas. No, sunlight is the best disinfectant. Shine the light on the utter ridiculousness of the NWO and their silly and foolish demands. Mock them at every turn for being the pathetic losers that they are. Ridicule the utter intellectual and moral bankruptcy of their agenda and ideas. And so on. Getting accurate information about them into as many hands as possible is what matters most now.
Or, as they said back in the day: “Hearts and minds…” This is one of those times when that saying is actually true-and-correct. That’s where this struggle will be won or lost, in the hearts and minds of everyday people.
Which, by the way, is why the globalist oligarchs are expending such extravagant resources upon propaganda and disinformation campaigns, and waging what amounts to psychological warfare upon their populations. They fully well know that globalism will not be accepted voluntarily, but only by coercive methods. And they are now using them.
Thank you.
” whoever is perceived as holding the moral high ground has a pretty good chance of winning the conflict”
I consider “western culture” doomed since the day first “stealth fighter” flew to battle, because I think it’s a complete inversion of Achillesses’ shining bronze armor, and the ancient days, when honor before gods was the coin of the realm. But today it’s like a war of assasins and snipers. I wonder how the gods will deal with that?
I wouldn’t necessarily agree that stealth or sniping or assassins are incompatible with honor. War is a pretty nasty, brutish, and cruel thing even when it’s defensive. The objective is to win and if anyone will be getting sent into battle I would expect the leadership that sent them there will use every tool available regardless of whether it is underhanded to shorten the duration of the conflict.
If it’s honor one’s concerned with then I would suggest bringing back dueling as a legitimate and legal means to settle conflicts. Perhaps not with firearms or only with small caliber firearms that are more likely to give a nasty wound than kill unless expertly aimed. Swords would be more appropriate and a number of protocols could be allowed; to the first cut, until quarter is asked, or until death. As far as what the gods think of it, I would think that they approve of personal bravery and most gods seem to love and approve of a fighting man.
I absolutely agree with bringing back the dueling.
People today are led to believe that we are more advanced than the bronze age people, yet in the bronze age – when it came to war – the armies back then were willing to make the deal “our best guy against your best guy and winner takes it all”. I find that more civilised than this day and age of indrustrial warfare.
And let us not forget that the Trojan war could not be settled in this civilised manner because Paris was such a coward! Steals wifes of foreign kings but won’t even fight one on one. No wonder why Zeus decreed that Troy will fall.
With regards to sniping and drone strikes – war is what it is today. Fighting soldiers hiding in hospitals and schools, IED’s, sniping from a distance, and assasinations by drones… If anyone asked me “would you like to fight in modern warfare” – I say “thanks but I think I pass”. Though I got myself into the FPV drone business, because I would love to see some robots vs. drones action, and maybe that’s why my initials are BS 🙂
But I don’t think I would be willing to ever attack someone from behind, snipe, or assasinate like when they drop the explosives on unsuspecting soldiers. It just goes against my “ideology” of “do onto others as you would have them do unto you”.
Georgia, I am afraid I am going to have to disagree with your analysis where hearts and minds are concerned and there won’t be bloodshed, for hearts and minds always was a failure from the start, in the end, might always makes right, always has and always will, despite our being too civilized for such bloodshed these days, or so it seems. When the power gets shut off and the food runs out because our so called betters didn’t think through their little machinations thoroughly, for they have completely forgotten about human nature and when push comes to shove, there is nothing more dangerous than the European and Slavic alpha male and these perfumed princes in their high towers are going to find out that it is not nice to make those males angry and bottom line, it will come to massive bloodshed where your politics, race, religion and economic status will be your uniform and you have completely forgotten that the militaries of Europe are not going to put up with this insanity for much longer for they all are ardent nationalists and they will at some point take complete control of governments and then the culling begins, namely all those in so called charge, oligarchs and their wretched families then the massive Purge of things 3rd world where none will exist after it is all over. The high moral ground is reserved for those who want to be buried in it, the Victors care not for such frivolities, they care only about total victory. The days of the strongmen and the return of Kings will be the end result, for the feckless populations have proved that they are too dumb to be allowed to their own devices and must be ruled once again. Globalism will be dead and the nationalism of the natives of Europe will once again rise. This is what is coming.
Every counter insurgency campaign in history has been won with blood and iron, not the hearts and minds bs. Masada was not a victory for the Jews, it was a stunning demonstration that Rome would spare no expense in time, manpower and resources to crush its enemies.
The Indians were defeated because the options offered to them were surrender of death. Our elites, who never serve, pretend to know better.
Look at our military’s success rate for the past 80 years.
The author forgot to mention, if you see something say something (report on your neighbors).
Good point.
The following quote is attributed to Vlad “Tepes” Dracula and is in my eyes to the point.
“I cannot control peoples love, only their fear. Love changes, Fear is as constant as a star.”
HOC POCULUM VIRTUTI ME INEBRIARI (This cup of Power makes me drunk)
Very good.
“So these articles signal psychological and political operations happening NOW — and the weapon is making the situation escalate and TALKING about it as something INEVITABLE.”
This has been on my mind lately as well, why now so many mainstream articles about doom and gloom next winter? Could it be the truth soaking through? Or is it a part of “pulling the plug” to perform “technology swap” on human civilisation?
If Fiat currency stands on trust in its value, etc, etc… …they are basically undermining the trust in the institutions. They are telling people “you can no longer rely on electric grid, heat, food, roads, hospitals, and maybe gasoline will be 50 bucks a gallon, maybe not, but you can definitely trust in high taxation!”
That effectivly means that the Social Contract is broken, at least in part, but the question is how? How is it broken? Incompetence, stupidity or treason?
I know I know, why am I even asking it was Russia of course! So the social construct wasn’t broken. It is obvious that without our current crop of leaders, we would be all dead by the Russian by now, because it is only by the resolute strength of EU bureaucracy that we are still alive!
Re: “That effectivly means that the Social Contract is broken, at least in part, but the question is how? How is it broken? Incompetence, stupidity or treason?”
Two out of three isn’t a bad batting average, and we’re not talking about “incompetence”either …. or as Ian Flemming once said “Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence,three times is enemy action.”
Let the coming chaos happen, let the current order fall, the elites deserve what is coming, good and bloody hard. Let the next strongman who rules unleash the retribution.
The Bible tells us to pray for our enemies. Not because we like them or that they are doing good things but quite the opposite. We must pray that they turn away from evil and towards Jesus Christ. Our lives would be so much better if those who govern us were our brothers in Christ. I think that’s why we must pray for them.
When you are in his realm you must practice what is coming. Forgiveness then you will be called to be like him and inherit everything.
Well John, you go ahead and pray for your enemies, the rest of us will be arranging the meeting. For they are not brothers in Christ, so let the bloody devil have them.
The more videos I watch on Russia and southern Russian speaking Ukraine the more attractive it looks vs Europe. The people there stick together (share food, bury dead neighbours etc), fight for their culture (they maintained the opera and concerts despite bombings) and live very simple lives (grow their own food). It reminds me of the 1960’s. Europeans have become detached from reality and the land so their views can be easily manipulated. That’s why farmers protest because they understand how the real world works.
I’ve been pondering these matters, too. I invite you to click the link and read my 2020 essay, which proposes a method by which we MAY bring the State to heel. Or, at least, take the first steps upon that road.
I’d appreciate criticism.
My proposal involves no fighting, or protesting, or financial outlay. It would require some sound IT skills … and, as ever, men of courage.

@ bogbeagle
I like the core idea very much behind your suggestion, about the three ways interactions are conducted.
And it is pretty much how the events have unfolded since you wrote the essay: the globalists overplayed their hands by using deception and force during the Corona scam, which eventually made a lot of people realize that the governance was not at all consensual.
Sorry bogbeagle, in the end, it always comes down to bloodshed and we ain’t getting out of this mess without spilling massive amounts of it.
Bog and Laszlo here is the most dangerous man.
The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of “Men who wanted to be left Alone”.
They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love.
They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it.
They know, that the moment they fight back, the lives as they have lived them, are over.
The moment the “Men who wanted to be left Alone” are forced to fight back, it is a small form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. . . .
Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these “Men who wanted to be left Alone”, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at the Left’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy . . . . but it will fall upon deaf ears. -Alexander Solschenizyn
@ Bear Claw Chris Lapp
Yes, it is the Jeremiah Johnson effect.
“Worse is better.” ~Lenin
“Worse is better” was his slogan. Destruction-followed-by-construction was the Leninist sequence. Nothing stood higher, in his mind, than the cause of socialism.
The relationship to the government power structures are only possible if you’re stupid enough to leave the government standing. There’s not a single government functionary that shouldn’t get the rope, starting with the bankers.
Ive probably watched every major Dystopian film and read more than one novel of the same. Granted its fiction-sometimes to merely entertain & not just provoke conversation. Regardless, it never turns out well for those claiming to be the smartest person in the room. When these [epithets] start getting dragged out of their motorcade because replacement Jesus Nuts for their helicopters become unobtainium, it will be too late to make amends and the last Dark Age will unveil itself. What glamor is there in being the king of a world of shit? King [Solid Waste] just doesnt have the same aura as CEO or President. In closing, to borrow a phrase, “become ungovernable”.
It is very interesting how you demonize “Jesus Nuts’. You [ad hominem insults redacted].
Thanks commenters; freedom of speech, food for thought…
