Chapter 728: Scapegoat Program

As the voting date for the midterm elections approached, Simon's attention was indeed on this matter.

The 1994 mid-term elections were related to the political direction of the United States for at least two decades before and after the millennium, and also a major turning point in the modern era of neoliberalism to neoconservatism in the United States.

In the attitude towards large companies, neoliberalism pursues fairness, so only in the past many years did the US government split up and strictly antitrust restrictions on corporate giants such as AT-T.Instead, neoconservatism advocates market freedom, so in 1994, it also became the beginning of the re-emergence of a series of industry oligarchs in modern America.

It is difficult to judge which is better or worse.

In the era of neoliberalism, the continued loss of vitality of the US economy has largely led to the rise of Japan, which has forced the United States to use unconventional means to suppress Japan's threat to itself.Similarly, the most prosperous economic prosperity and the most serious economic crisis in the modern United States also began in the era of neo-conservatism that began in 1994.

For Simon, the latter is naturally more capable of promoting the development of the Westeros system.

Therefore, Simon may be more willing to become a supporter of the Republican Party if not for the time being.In fact, in this midterm elections, the Westeros system has begun to place bets on both sides.

On the weekend for two days, apparently staying at Dumei Point Estate without going out, Simon spent most of his time dealing with various matters related to the midterm elections.

In the large study on the first floor of Villa Baker.

Ending a call with Joseph Schrap on the East Coast, Simon put down the microphone and looked not far away at Janet, holding Seattle’s dense nameplate on a wall, and walked over, looking at 46 pairs of people on the wall to write names This is the nameplate of all the members of the House of Representatives and Houses of Parliament or candidates for the entire 1994 Westeros'sniping plan' and'maintaining the basic disk'.

After some lobbying, gaming, or exchanges, the initial 23-person "sniping plan" was narrowed to 21, and the "maintenance basic plan" plan involved 25 people.

For half a year, the Westeros system has directly or indirectly invested more than 250 million US dollars for these lists on the wall, with an average of more than 5 million US dollars per person.

By comparison, in this midterm elections, the average campaign funding for a senator is only 4 million US dollars, which is still under the premise of a sharp increase compared to previous years.The average campaign funding of the House of Representatives is only $500,000.

Therefore, it can also be seen that the Westero system has invested heavily.

Due to the strict restrictions of the Federal Election Law, more than US$200 million of the US$250 million of funds is actually a variety of indirect inputs. The role of this money may be even half of the cost of a clear campaign. The influence cannot be reached. However, as long as it is a slightly passable plan, even if it proves to be useless, and even if it is used by some people, Simon will not hesitate to drop it.

Simon Westero's money is not easy to get.

The strict financial supervision of the subsidiaries of the Westeros system is well known. In this mid-term election, in order to prevent some funds from flowing into illegal channels that should not be flowed in the future, the financial supervision will be more stringent, so the financial supervision will be more stringent. The funds flowing into private wallets are basically clear to Simon.

After taking the money, not doing things now does not mean that there is no need to pay in the future.

When necessary, these guys who do not violate the Federal Election Law but are suspected of occupational occupation can happen to launch a scapegoat to do certain things.Or use it as a handle and either go to jail or do some dirty work that is not visible, and it's a good use.

Smiling and watching Janet and Seattle doing a name guessing game, the little girl just remembered the nameplate on the wall and remembered all of them clearly, even where a person's name is in a specific position, very typical Photographic memory.

After letting the mother and daughter play for a while, Simon said: "Don't always spoil Sear so much,

Janet pointed to another location, listened to Seattle to answer accurately, and posted a post on the little guy's face intimately, it didn't matter: "Jane is preparing, she has already said that she is Nick's mother ."

Simon is helpless.

Janet was very worried for a while because she couldn't conceive. She was very happy when she saw other children's children in those days. She wanted to take it home and raise her. When she was pregnant with Melbourne, she was very excited for a while. .

After Melbourne and Nicholas were born one after another, it seemed that they had fulfilled a certain task, and Janet soon lost interest in the cumbersome things of raising children.In the early days of Melbourne, Veronica had always carried it, and now Jennifer is in charge.For the spoils of Seattle, more and more clever big girls meet the natural similarities of smarter little girls.

Ignoring her husband's expression, the tired Janet tucked Seattle into Simon's arms and asked, "Just heard you and Joseph discussing the National Rifle Association?"

Simon hugged his daughter, and did not mean to avoid the topic to the little guy, saying: "Yes, this time the movement is too great, the two parties will inevitably rebound afterwards, and always find a scapegoat to put it in front."

In this mid-term election, the Democratic Party’s fiasco has been undoubtedly determined.

The two plans of the Westeros system are not unexpected, but the results will be perfect.

What needs to be considered now is the aftermath.

Although it is a very important supporter of the Democratic Party, because of the split within the Democratic Party, Simon can not guarantee that anyone will jump out and target the Westeros system afterwards.

The Republican Party needs to be more vigilant.

Simon has not forgotten a certain episode that happened to the Graff family. During this time, in addition to an evacuated CIA agent, Simon also rudely destroyed a private equity of about 20 million on Wall Street. The fund did not stop monitoring and tracing this matter.

This time, whether it is the "sniping plan" or "maintenance of the basic disk", most of them are actually aimed at the Republican Party.

Even the winner cannot guarantee that the Republican Party will not settle accounts after the fall.

The vast expenditures of the Westeros during the midterm elections are undoubtedly a flaw.

The truth has always been'what is wrong with the desire to add sin'.

Even if Simon is very cautious in the operation of funds, it is impossible that there is no erasing behavior. These are actually the default gray areas of the two parties in the past election process. However, if it is more true, it must be trouble.

Start thinking about this issue very early.

Finally, a "scapegoat plan" was finalized.

In this midterm election, the Westeros system was very selective, because the Clinton government continuously introduced a gun control bill, and the enraged National Rifle Association was even more aggressive.

Next, what Simon does is to put the National Rifle Association ahead.

In the planned plan, after the voting day on November 8, the Westeros system will secretly disclose the various plans of the National Rifle Association in the past year to some media holding gun positions. At the same time, The Westeros system will pay close attention to the shooting incidents in various parts of the United States as a material for subsequent momentum.

Shootings in the United States are very frequent.

Take 1993 as an example, not counting suicides. The number of shootings in the whole year exceeded 40,000, and the number of deaths reached 13,000. This loss is quite comparable to a large-scale war.

Therefore, to expose the operation of the National Rifle Association in response to this mid-term elections, and to publicize the serious consequences of some shootings, whether active or passive, the spearhead of public opinion will quickly point to the National Rifle Association. At that time, even both parties in Congress will have to Come forward.

With the big head of the National Rifle Association in front, attracting most of the firepower, even if someone finds the trouble of the Westeros system, Simon can deal with it relatively calmly.

In fact, it's not just the'scapegoat plan', Simon has made a lot of arrangements intentionally or unintentionally during this time.

For example, from the beginning of the month, the "information age" big marketing plan was in full swing.

For example, the Thanksgiving schedule opened on November 11.

For example, it was specifically placed on the third Victoria's Secret Fashion Show held on November 12.

These arrangements are to capture as much public attention as possible, so that they will pay less attention to the mid-term elections.

Brzezinski, the most well-known strategic thinker in the West in the twentieth century, has a very famous'nipple theory'. This theory is rarely seen in the media, but it has been unconsciously extended to the world.

In memory, the pacifier theory was proposed at a global elite gathering in San Francisco in 1995, and it is still 1994.

Simon was able to know in advance.

What is pacifier theory?

With the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the advancement of globalization, the long-term focus of the East and the West on the base has been lost. Social problems such as the gap between rich and poor in this society will become increasingly prominent.

In order to avoid that the marginalized 80% of the earth’s population causes too much trouble for 20% of the upper class elite, Brzezinski’s solution is to plug this marginalized 80% of the population into a pacifier. The specific measures are By vigorously promoting the development of the entertainment industry, movies, music, games, and other virtual content that can satisfy sensory stimulation to the greatest extent can occupy the eyes of the public, making these people gradually paralyzed, settled in the status quo, and no longer think about social injustice.

In the past history, the most thorough and successful implementation of the pacifier theory is undoubtedly South Korea.

The degree of injustice in the Korean society under the control of the chaebol is very serious, and it is even said that it is still in the feudal era to a certain extent, but it is not excessive at all. However, the Korean society has always been very stable. As for the reason, according to the nipple theory, look at South Korea’s prosperity to the extreme The entertainment industry is self-evident.

Later, the smartphone is undoubtedly another pacifier in the world.

Simon remembers a statistic that more than 50% of smartphone users worldwide use mobile phones for more than 5 hours a day.A person has only 24 hours a day, 8 hours of work, 8 hours of rest, and three meals a day is 3 hours, and the rest is exactly 5 hours.

As the Westeros system grew larger and larger, Simon also almost instinctively began to consider this issue.

Public opinion is like water.

Carrying a boat over a boat is by no means empty talk.

If everyone feels that the development of the Westeros system should be restricted, Simon will undoubtedly be in trouble.

This requires a solution.

Then, Simon thought of the'nipple theory' occasionally seen in his memory.

Brzezinski is definitely a genius.

Long-term planning cannot be achieved overnight, but in the short term, in order to shift the focus of public opinion and temporarily fill the public eye with certain things, Simon can still do it.

So there is this large-scale'information age' marketing plan.

Of course, the deeper reason, except for a few people who can be absolutely trusted, Simon will not explain to anyone else.

The sounding reason is naturally to further promote the development of new technology and further accelerate the pace of the public entering the information age.

In just one week, with the unremitting efforts, the overwhelming'information age' publicity plan has effectively occupied a large number of media pages and easily suppressed the popularity of the midterm elections.

After the mid-term elections, the "Information Age" marketing plan continues. However, on November 11th, at the same time as the Thanksgiving period in which multiple films are drawn at the same time, there will be a national-level ODY feast waiting for the public to enjoy.

The angel came.

Also care about the midterm elections.

In order to achieve this goal, this third Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, marketing efforts should even reach the sum of the previous two, although the TV broadcast will have to wait until November 16, but after the scene on November 12, North America The mainstream media will be quickly filled with the topic of Wei Mi show.

With all this spread out, Simon does not believe how many more people will pay attention to the midterm elections that seem to be so manipulated.Even if it is manipulated, it is also the National Rifle Association.

After talking with Janet for a while, the phone rang, the woman left Seattle again, and Simon continued to work.

Until evening.

Tonight is the one-year-old birthday party hosted by the Westeros for Seattle and Nicholas. Seattle’s birthday is November 3, three days earlier than his brother Nick. However, the female assistant offered to organize the birthday party of the two children. On the official registration, as twins, the two little guys were born on this day.

Simon certainly has no opinion on this.

Because it was a children’s birthday party, the guests tonight were also specially screened. Except for a few of the core senior leaders of the Westeros system, other guests will basically come with their children.

Even though Simon has not always liked socializing in Dumei Cape Manor, Mr. Lin Lin invited him, and the scale of this birthday party exceeded 200 people.Because of the winter, the weather turned cool and it was impossible to hold it in the open space, so the guests were fortunate enough to enter the Baker villa.
