When entities want to create an impression in the public psyche that they’re in charge, that they’re the power that matters, one of the things they’ll strategically do is to appear to be the agenda setters.
- They’ll ensure that they’re the first to announce important things;
- that they matter in determining who becomes king, especially as they announce a name other than what the public expected and indicated by the President;
- that they’re the ones who make key endorsements, eg Speakers, again as they announce a candidate other than the expected and indicated by the President…;
- that they are the ones who endorse ministers and heads of other vital organs;
- that they can influence sacking big people;
- that they can operate above the law, courts and institutions without any consequences;
- that freedom, opportunities and loss of the two depends on how you relate with them.
With all this, the public is being manipulated and prepared to re-organise and align its hopes, expectations, plans, and behaviour accordingly.
