grift

/ɡrift/

INFORMAL•NORTH AMERICAN ENGLISH

verb

a grift is a hustle or scam, often involving someone (a grifter) who profits by dishonestly persuading or conning people, frequently through elaborate stories or fake beliefs (like pseudoscience or political outrage) for money, donations, or attention, without actually believing what they’re selling- Yeah, that sounds about right..

1. Observe the Outrage

Rule number one for spotting manufactured chaos: watch where they want your eyes. Also, notice the curious disappearance of the National Guard- Keep the lawsuits coming guys, that’s the only language orange understands.

Outrageous headlines, clips go viral. You feel it tugging at you- Hold on tight Dorothy! Somewhere over the rainbow, they’re laughing their asses off at us.

So who benefits from the heat while everyone else is busy screaming at each other? The 1%? Nah. They couldn’t possibly be like… Papa, right??? This is how the machine keeps running. Conflict is leverage. Division is profit.

2. Tracking the gears behind the noise

Media companies, lobbyists, algorithms, state apparatuses. They’re not random actors. They’re function is to silence inconvenient truths, and define what feels urgent, the Susie Wiles kind of cleanup- You missed a spot over there by Venezuela.

Lobbyists move quietly, aligning laws, funding, and messaging so the system works in favor of the wealthy-special interest groups. While the public fights over outrage cycles, the machine keeps spinning.-Crooks used to sneak through windows. Now they slide into congressional seats in $1,200 suits-and have somehow accumulated enough wealth where they don’t need to be employed by the US government anymore, they enter through DMs, the news, pension plans and destabilized oil, rich countries.

3. Watching dissent

Step out of the expected script and you’ll see the pattern immediately, neutralization. Obedience is the goal, not compliance. Don’t get it confused, this applies to anyone, anywhere regardless of race, gender, or appearance- Y’all thought ya’ll were special??

The system punishes disruption. If you’re uncomfortable with what’s happening, that means it’s working.

4. Read the signals in global events

The machine is not just local. Observe recent state interventions and power plays across the world:

They move in, swiftly. Then the headlines erupt. Other states watch. They see the precedent. They better be learning lessons in how to stop it. Are these strategic plays? Not likely- you’ve got the cankles leading the stupid over there. Still, the calculated grifts are precise. They’re stealing everything. Every single thing they can get their hands that’s not bolted to the ground, and on top of it all he’s still begging you to fund his campaign. Have some damn respect for us. We aren’t that stupid. Are we?

5. Follow the Evidence, Not the Noise

Camera angles. Contradictory reports. Hidden context. Multiple sources, they’re all friends they all have money invested in the grift. This system relies on distraction, visuals, simplified narratives, outrage loops to obscure reality.

Learning to separate what is performed for public consumption, from what is structurally real is the key skill. This is how you see the regime moving, and how quickly it can adapt while everyone else reacts slowly. Congratulations! You’re surrounded by propaganda and probably didn’t even notice. What’s that quote again? Red pill-Blue pill??

6. The Rule of Speed

This machine is moving at breakneck speed. The declining attention spans, social feeds, algorithmic cycles, all of it is is working in its favor, designed to keep you behind. To keep you chasing chaos instead of understanding it.

Curiosity is your tool. Observation is your anchor. Watch the patterns, and read the signals as they reveal themselves. The faster you learn, the closer you get to understanding the system before it shifts again.

Orange is predictable. This division is engineered. Power is accumulating quietly while the public fights itself. Watch carefully. Do not let the endless circus of media lull you into the nonsense. It’s not a simulation, Morty… the system’s making bank off your panic.

Don’t miss the “big moment”. When they show their thieving faces. The proof you can point to and say, “I knew it.” You sons of bitches!! But, it won’t happen that way. You know that saying? – It won’t be televised. it won’t..

Because we’re past the rehearsal phase of the plan. What you are watching now is the largest government heist since the theft of land from the indigenous peoples in the US.

This is unfolding in real time, in plain sight and moving faster than accountability can keep up.

The machine depends on this one mistake everyone makes. If you’re waiting for “justice”- cue Batman… if you looking for some plot twist, look again. This is a sloppy Ocean’s Eleven meets history’s long con. The vault’s open. They are filling their pockets. Laughing like the Joker watching Gotham burn, because they think the joke is on everyone else. Until… We The PEOPLE.
