One of my most useful verses for insight is Matthew 7:20: “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” A couple of related ideas are embodied in the commonly used expressions “Cui bono?” (“Who benefits?”). And “Follow the money”.
For example, who benefits from the events of January 6?
A public broadcast of the counting of electoral college votes and the objections that would air unrefutable details of prima facie facts in evidence of massive fraud in the 2020 presidential election, to people in the audience that only get their usual political news from the government-compliant media.
Acts of vandalism that no Trump supporter has committed over the previous five years get broadcast are painted as a new danger coming from the right, meaning anybody to the right of Biden.
Now, armed troops surrounding the Capitol building to project an image of “rightists” laying siege to the country.
America’s Reichstag.
Cui bono? Legislation and executive orders to suppress and censor dissenters and to make social media bans official.
Cui bono? War drums are now resounding again in the Middle East. The U. S. returns to bombing Syria and Iraq and emits conflicting signals over Iran.
Planned Barrenhood is back in business. Policies that reflect Bil Gates’ goal of population control in full vogue again. His investments in vaccine companies and producing new experimental biological agents now supported by political power and much profit.
Cui bono? Who got much richer from the lockdowns and shutting down of small business and the massive slashing of available jobs while the big box stores stayed open?
Cui bono from social media censorship? (And censorship it is, because every one of those monsters is subsidized by govennment.)
