Let’s say your an aspiring political candidate, or perhaps a royal with your eyes on the crown.
Either way, you get to your respective position of power and realize…
“Damn! There be a lot of dudes tryin’ to kill me.”
What do you do?
Carry a Big Stick
Well, the first option is to hire some big swole dude-bros with big-but-tiny guns hidden away with fake rubber arms, rubbin’ their pinky finger, with super-soldier high tech earpieces to take out the goobers in the crowd who are finna’ try.
That’s nice and all for big shindigs where lots of people are all around, but what do you do for those stealthy ninjas with their poisons, hidden daggers, and jujitsu? What about the James Bonds and their gadgets?
Just having bigger guns, and ninjas of your own isn’t gonna cut it. With all the guys coming after you thinking the are John Wick and you killed their puppy, you have to have a better response than some studs of your own.
You need to be PROactive not REactive against any would-be assassins.
You have to make it pointless to even succeed in assassinating you.
You gotta get rid of the incentive to try.
Seeing Double
So, the next method is to get yourself a body double. It doesn’t matter how many ninjas they send then, because they’ll just be killing a look-a-like rather than the OG. Then, all you gotta do is keep it hush hush that a dude that looks just like you got bipped and no one is the wiser. The “successful” assassin gets taken out behind the curtain thinking he got his guy, no one makes a scene, and the masses aren’t worried at all for your safety.
Like with serial killers in the 70s and 80s, they found the best solution to stop the growing trend of serial killers and copy cat killers trying to get famous, like the Zodiac Killer, was to shut the hell up and not give them the attention they crave. Everyone wants to leave a legacy, and being an infamous killer is the easiest way to establish yourself in history.
“Jokes” aside, the same goes for political/royal assassinations.
Stalin, Hitler, Churchill, Roosevelt… You know they all had body doubles, right? It’s insane to believe otherwise. You’re just not allowed to talk about it.
It’s a practice that goes back to the dawn of civilization, or even when cavemen tribes were running around. You always have to have a backup leader. To prevent mutiny or revolution, why not have the backup and the primary pretend to be the same guy?
The problem with this method is that eventually technology catches up, and with so many cameras about people start to notice your earlobes, eye color, hairline, or jaw line don’t line up like they used to.
It’s weird when your freckles, moles, and wrinkles keep moving around every other day.
Shh, it’s a Secret™
You gotta wonder, why is it no one ever gets assassinated? Why is it only the retired guys or the legit good guys get got? There’s tons of corrupt SOBs who have victims with itchy fingers wanting to settle the score, so why don’t we hear about dudes trying to take down the “Big Guy” making 10%? What about foreign nations sending a guy to take out Mr. Big? You know terrorists would love to be able to shout: “We killed your president, fear us! There is no one who is safe from out wrath!”
Why do they settle for shooting up schools and markets?
Where are the stories of these dudes finna’ try?
Simple. The stories are suppressed.
For one, it’d look bad for the Secret Service if their client keeps getting shot at. There’s incentive there to never let the public know at least, otherwise both sides might question the legitimacy of the “Service” they provide.
But realistically, between politicians, royals, and businessmen… They only get assassinated when their bosses want that assassination to be known. To send a message.
There are tons of actors these days. Tons of impersonation classes you can take. Rubber masks and surgery. CGI for when the actors need a break. DeepFakes and Media Anchors willing to “keep your secrets” or else they get a visit from Secret Services to learn them a lesson about being a “patriot” and a “loyal citizen.”
Assassins may come and go, and organized groups may claim to have succeeded in taking out a President or two, but even then, if the media doesn’t report it like they don’t report on election fraud then all your claims come out like crazy conspiracy theories and false boasts.
The point is, it is in everyone’s best interest to establish a politician such that they are technically “immortal.” Even if they die, like a hydra, there are two more heads to fill the chair and take the original’s place. They gotta make sure the masses don’t realize just how easy it is to kill a guy in the age of gas, guns, and grit. People have to have the impression that it is impossible to kill a head of state. Otherwise, like with serial killers, the volume of people trying for their 15 minutes of fame will explode and make everyone’s job that much harder to keep up appearances of control and competence.
It’d be a nightmare overnight. A game of whack-a-mole for the rest of time.
It leads me to expound upon the current state of assassination and the world of Blood Man, Hit Money.
Corporations are People, my Friend.
At what point is the administration more important than the administrator?
We all know that most politicians are faces for a hidden agenda — a coven of magicians and puppet masters making their little dolls dance for the crowds.
There’s not just one guy behind the curtain. There’s a whole damn army of worker bees pecking away at scripts and itineraries, songs and jigs, for the puppet to tap his non-existent toes to.
At what point do politicians get replaced by a body of like-minded individuals with greased up hands ready to slide up their puppet holes?
A committee. A corporation.
Special interest groups.
Insurgents.
A Cabal.
A DeepState.
At that point, every “representative” voted in by the people is just a projection. A face. A front for a mafia organization. One of many mafias vying for control over the “Big Apple.”
JOSEPH ROBINETTE BIDEN JR., INC is formed…
And all his body doubles and administration staff, including Obama, Big Mike, Susan Rice, Hunter, Jimmy Biden, Killary, etc. are all technically employees and “trustees” of that “person” we call Sleepy Joe.
Like a flower shop, laundromat, or car wash.
It looks legit in the front, but the back rooms tell a different story. Some nights the walls and floor smell of bleach and ammonia.
We (They) didn’t elect a person to be President. They selected a “person.”
Remember: Corporations are People.
Word games? No, Word Magic.
Illusions.
At that point, what is there to fear from a lone assassin taking out “your guy?” So what? Just replace them, pay off the media to run a story that they got sick and had to step down, and things stay business as usual. A CEO goes down, just stick another suit in the chair and keep moving.
What use is it killing the face when there’s the whole dang body to have to take out as well?
Eventually the “wise guys” just settle down on their own, knowing there’s nothing they can do to challenge the mob boss and his mafia.
Demoralization. That’s the end goal.
A massive and invisible boot over the heads of all the people.
They know it’s there, but it’s too painful to look up at it and acknowledge that everything is rigged, that there are no advocates for the honest man, and that no good deed goes unpunished.
This is when you get “too big to fail.”
What threat is a dude with a gun anymore?
The ones actually running the show aren’t in the limelight. You’ll never really know their names. The “Press” has made sure of that. They keep the “pressure” on and make sure those curious heads stay down looking dead straight at the grinding wheel, the 9-5. For the ones who do glance up from time to time, they’re frequently reminded that no one is allowed to die unless they say so.
Those who know, know.
Do you really think they haven’t tried to take out Trump? That they haven’t also targeted his family? Do you really think they haven’t thought about it at least? There’s obviously something stopping them from trying, brazenly so, at least.
When they know they can control the outrage…
The Media has to be ready and informed to run the story before it happens. That’s what makes it tricky to kill Mr. Trump.
Otherwise, you risk making martyrs out of them like JFK. They may think they nipped in the bud all the ones who turned adversarial against the Government with their whole “Conspiracy Theorist” boogeyman trick, but make no mistake, they bred a whole new breed of suspicious old uncles willing to jump down any rabbit hole to find the truth. These old fogies started digging up things far spookier and more dangerous to the Powers that Be than just who was sitting on the grassy knoll that day.
It really did backfire on them, it just took a while.
Casting everyone as a “Conspiracy Theorist” created a stigma about questioning the Government’s official account. That stigma, the taboo, bred a counter-culture, a tribe, that grew up around the unanswered questions and is stronger now than ever before.
The Streisand Effect stands undefeated.
The same would go for Trump.
They know they can’t take out Trump because he’s not alone. Just like with them. Their own techniques are being used against them. To find a kink in the armor also jeopardizes their own protection detail. It would be foolish to undermine your own walls just to take a stab at the enemy.
They can’t risk a botch job.
It’s a step not worth taking. The Cabal can’t even replace him, body-snatcher style, like they do with foreign leaders because his contacts will know if they try the old switcheroo. Something BAD will happen if the Trump piece is taken off the table. Beyond what we can comprehend. He’s the biggest trap card in the history of trap cards, mocking them relentlessly and baiting them to pull the trigger. Don’t think for a moment there isn’t at least a dozen Trump Body Doubles ready to go. Don’t think for a moment he doesn’t have a dozen dead-man switches to periodically ping in to his contacts keeping him safe. Don’t think for a moment the OG Trump himself isn’t ready to die for the cause. He signed up for it, after all.
As for them…
The Bad People Can’t Stop Looking Over Their Shoulders
Even if a “lone” gunman does manage to glack a politician and they decide to let the stories run…
They’ve also learned how to turn the bad guy into a martyr for the cause. Every hack and liar comes to say how great the mass murdering fiend is, every publication gets the NPCs to clap their hands like retarded baby seals cheering because the “CLAP” sign lit up, and the show goes on unabated by your efforts.
Because of this, there is really only one threat of “assassination” in this day and age. We’ve obtained the “herd immunity” for the assassination threat. It leaves only one thing…
The primary threat today is running out of money to pay for the actors, the media, the spooks to cover your ass.
That’s yet another reason I’m looking forward to a financial collapse.
When you can’t cover your ass, that’s when you gotta really worry about something worse than assassination.
When you can no longer hide your shit, and there’s a stream of toilet paper connecting your butt cheeks to the bathroom stall stinking with your funk and backed-up bean burrito that wouldn’t flush — that black kid you got to high on uppers and downers that died in the Standard Hotel that one night you were feeling extra frisky and you weren’t alone on that floor that night…
That’s when things start to come crashing down.
That’s when you start to sweat.
That’s when people notice you’re sweating.
That’s when assassination is the least of your fears.
That’s when you realize that, for a delusional, greedy son of a bitch, being broke and hated is a far worse fate than a quick death.
That being hunted by people just like you for fear that you might come clean means you can no longer sleep at night.
That’s when you can no longer walk down the street unaccosted.
That’s when EVERYONE becomes an assassin baring their fangs.
