Hi M,

Thanks for sharing my articles with others. At the bottom of each article on my blog I’ve now added a “share via email” button, so as to offset the “Facebook block”.

In any negotiation, always demand way more than you are willing to accept.
You might not get all that you demand. But, you might.
That is a part of the principle at work in the overton window.
Politicians use it to the great advantage, since the late 1800s…

The Overton Window deploys an outlandish proposal.
An emphatic rejection of the outlandish proposal is expected.

The outlandish proposal is dialed back, a little, to what will be an acceptable proposal. An alternate plan is offered that is more palatable to the people.

The next time they profer the original outlandish proposal, it then seems closer to what the public will accept and they then make it the plan to use.

This is how you use time to shift public opinion.

The Hegelian Principle is thesis, anti-thesis, synthesis. Create a problem, offer the solution that the people would not normally except, if the people are desperate enough then they will except it. Create your own opposition so you can control the unorganized opposition.

Problem – Government creates a problem.
Reaction – they provocateur a radical, unpopular solution.
Solution – pose as a ‘saviour’ with the ‘solution’ they wanted all along.

To implement the Overton Window:
State a radical idea.
Open up the channels of conversation about it.
Back off a little bit, but do not return things to the way they were, before the idea was floated.

Did they get what they want? Not this time, but the idea is now out there. Just by being there, it has some twisted form of legitimacy.

Things do not usually change, in one election.
The globalists shifted things one election at a time, with the Overton Window.

They get into a situation where the victim is essentially docile and compliant. They need the victim to do something “wrong” and setting them up to do something that justifies abuse is how they do it. They set the victim up with impossible demands so that the victim “made me do it”.

In addition to giving the abusers an excuse for failure, the abusive episodes helps the abusers affirm the control, even in those lulls where it’s not in question. It also does create more control as the victims lose sight of how they can avoid the abuse, feeling constantly confused and responsible. Yet, in not feeling competent enough to figure out how to avoid the abuse, their confidence to face life independently diminishes. The unpredictable nature of the abusers keeps the victims always thinking about them and whether something will please/provoke them and this makes victims even more enmeshed with and dependent on the abuser.

I know it doesn’t make sense, but once your life is filled with constant fear and belittling, you lose sight of sense. That’s kind of the point. The abusers know the victims can live without them so making the victims feel incompetent is a top priority.
