Satan Loves to Slice Salami

PictureMátyás Rákosi - An altruistic soul if there ever was one.
As we inch closer toward the two-year anniversary of the global Satanic coup that most of the world still refuses to acknowledge, I thought it would be fun to briefly comment on one of the demonic totalitarians go-to tactics - the salami.

Apparently, the term salami tactics - also known as the salami-slice strategy - was coined in the late 1940s by one of Satan's most beloved little helpers, Hungarian communist dictator Mátyás Rákosi who boasted of dividing and, eventually, destroying non-communist political parties in Hungary by "slicing them off like pieces of salami." According to Infogalactic, Rákosi employed the tactic in the following manner: 

By portraying his opponents as fascists (or at the very least fascist sympathizers), he was able to get the opposition to slice off its right wing, then its centrists, then the more courageous left wingers, until only those fellow travelers willing to collaborate with the Communists remained in power.




Though many credit Rákosi with the term salami tactics, the American economist Thomas C Schelling assured the world that salami tactics were invented by a child: 

Tell a child not to go in the water and he’ll sit on the bank and submerge his bare feet; he is not yet ‘in’ the water. Acquiesce, and he’ll stand up; no more of him is in the water than before. Think it over, and he’ll start wading, not going any deeper; take a moment to decide whether this is different and he’ll go a little deeper, arguing that since he goes back and forth it all averages out. Pretty soon we are calling to him not to swim out of sight, wondering whatever happened to all our discipline.

I like Schelling's example because it illustrates the "baby-step" process inherent in salami tactics - just one small slice . . . okay, just one more . . . I think I need two slices this time . . . okay, two more . . . don't complain - you still have the salami! . . . I'm going to need three slices this time around, I'm afraid . . .

And so on until all of the sudden the salami is gone. This is referred to more commonly as "salami slicing" which Infogalactic defines as: 

 . . . a series of many small actions, often performed by clandestine means, that as an accumulated whole produces a much larger action or result that would be difficult or unlawful to perform all at once. The term is typically used pejoratively. Although salami slicing is often used to carry out illegal activities, it is only a strategy for gaining an advantage over time by accumulating it in small increments, so it can be used in perfectly legal ways as well.

The bulk of the fake birdemic response measures implemented since 2020 have been a masterclass in salami slicing. It's just two weeks . . . it's just a mask . . . it's just a peck . . . etc. I suspect most have seen the memes, so I won't elaborate further.

I mention salami slicing and salami tactics in this post because my employers - both of them - have begun using these methods against me in a manipulative effort to get me to accept the peck as a condition of employment.

As I watch both of my employers sharpen their knives in anticipation of some good old salami-slicing fun, I am struck by how obvious salami slicing and salami tactics are. They were obvious when the Establishment announced they only needed "two weeks to flatten the curve" back in 2020; they are obvious in the divide and conquer strategy of pecked versus unpecked, and they are obvious in my workplaces, both of which are threatening to furlough me for having the incomprehensible audacity of refusing to be pecked in the name of "none are safe until all are safe."

Well, my employers can sharpen their knives all they want because the only thing I'm giving them to slice is air. Nevertheless, going through the process at a more personal level got me thinking: How can tactics that are so obvious be so brutally effective?

It doesn't take long to understand that when it comes to politics and society, salami tactics and salami slicing depend entirely on the willingness and cooperation of the party against which these sorts of tactics are deployed. Put another way, the salami only gets sliced if the other party allows the salami to get sliced. Moreover, the salami-slicing ends the moment the other party takes the salami off the table, so to speak.

And yet here we are.

We are nearly two years into a still largely unnoticed global totalitarian coup and an absurd birdemic narrative and yet the vast majority are perfectly content to let the salami slicing continue.

I'm not sure how much of the salami is actually left at this point, but I get the sense we're getting awfully close to that little metal ring that encircles the end.

Salami Tactics work right up until Motti Tactics begin.

These games usually have a zero sum quality - in that gain for one side is loss for the other - loss of freedom, power, money or whatever. This means that every slice strengthens the ability of the slic-er to take more, and weakens the ability of the slice-ee to resist. This is another reason why, once started, it continues.

Modern people are helpless against this tactic 1. because people cannot or will not think more than one step at a time - cannot reason that IF this happens, there WILL be (pretty predictable) knock on effects; and 2. because people cannot or will not infer evil motivations.

Not inferring evil motivations, when they exist, is utterly crippling to the capacity to resist evil.

Nearly all of what gets written or spoken in social discourse and the media is rendered worthless and harmful because evil motivations are not discerned, or are denied, in situations where they actually exist among those with power, wealth, status and other kinds of influence.

Yes, this is exactly what I wanted the post to imply. When the birdemic hit, many people believed governments and international organizations were truly trying to help and do what was best for people.

Despite two years of experience to the contrary, many people still hold the view that governments and international organizations are truly trying to help and do what is best for people.

Remarkable.

It's the same way the left works to destroy the moral fabric of society. It's the same way the muslims work to gain control in an area they have just started occupying. Work slowly and methodically, a little at a time, until you have the majority, or at least have convinced the majority not to interfere in your destruction of their society. Then unleash the hounds of hell to complete your conquest in one fail swoop. That's where the left and the cabal are right now in trying to destroy western society. They are all in, and NOTHING is off the table.

I thought the expression was "one fell swoop", but I certainly wouldn't mind if one of these swoops were to fail once in a while.

@ Francis Berger

"Salami-slicing" is just another name for incrementalism, a strategy the communists and their leftist fellow travelers have been using masterfully and with great discipline for the last century, to attain their goals. Or, as the old answer to the question goes:

Question: How do you eat an elephant?
Answer: One bite at a time

Most of us are familiar with pie-slicing word problems, from algebra back in school if nothing else. The communists are masters at getting their opposition to surrender just a bit more of the pie, in the interest of whatever the cause de jour happens to be - fairness, getting rid of poverty, etc. And then their opposition, Trad-Americans, wonder why there's only one small slice left and where the rest of the pie went.

Obvious though it may seem, the "just one more slice of pie" will continue to be used as long as it works, and it has worked for a century and counting.

Thanks for the little history lesson on the orgin of "salami tactics." It's a good thing that the communists in DC and in state capitals have no work ethic and don't like to get their hands dirty, unlike their long dead heroes from behind the Iron Curtain.

Good luck holding out against the salami-slicers.

I have noticed a tendency among many of the otherwise clear-headed opponents of the birdemic agenda to insist that things will go back to normal soon; that the elite narrative is so palpably insane that it will collapse *any minute now,* followed by some sort of reckoning.

If that is true, it's strange that fully 20 months into this scam, employers are issuing peck mandates; proof of the peck is required for indoor activities in America's largest city; unpecked foreigners are refused entry to many countries; and unpecked Canadians are banned from leaving their own country(!). Most horribly, perhaps, the dangerous and worthless peck is being forced on children in California.

Either we are deceptively close to the point of maximum craziness, to be swiftly followed by narrative collapse, or we are witnessing a remarkable triumph of the salami-slicing strategy.

@ Hari - Normal was the first slice. It got sliced off the second everyone bought into "two weeks to flatten the curve." Every slice taken since then has been taken with "a return to normal" being used an incentive.

Narrative collapse won't matter much to most people. They'll be too busy dealing with the next "crisis" by then.

For productivity experts it is called the pomodoro technique. Within social engineering circles its the boiling frog technique. @Hari Seldon; waiting it out towards some kind of normality is not on the cards anymore. There might be a case for waiting it out towards a cyberpunk version of Mad Max though. Alot of people in the dark circles are very old and on lifesupport by sources that make my skin crawl. My own country is deeply complicit in these inexcusable crimes against humanity of the most depraved kind. They will be judged. It sounds like Q stuff but it is very real, there are over 150 cases of insane shit that the powers are trying to sweep under the rug over here, one whistleblower slapped with a recurring fine every time he even mentions the name of the abused family he is working for. So yes the courts are mostly corrupt too. I try to send my prayers or protective energy towards all people putting themselves at risk exposing the evils. The maximum craziness might turn out to be actual representations of all of the zombie related media we have seen. I still dont identify as strictly Christian and will keep on seeking answers on my own accord, but there is undeniable aligment; his core values and teachings are helpful to all of us. The despiritualization of this world has brought us this wave of creeping nihilism and general acquiesence. This current course of events leads into sci-fi narratives that by and large, their novels were meant as warnings, but now people are using them as manuals. Nature is imperfect. we must improve upon it. The ultimate folly.

They're doing that in the states too, saying you are suspended without pay for 60 days so get the shot or else. But you can still get another job while you're suspended and you don't have to tell them and then when 60 days are up say, fire me. I think it matters more if they fire you than if you quit. Point being you don't have to sit at home twiddling your thumbs watching your savings diminish you can go look for another job, it may be more difficult and Hungary but there is a worker shortage and you might have to do something else. I do what can be considered menial work but it's really important to the people that hire me. I've never been busier. None of my clients, even the staunchest covidians, ask whether I've been pecked because they don't want to fire me.

@ Whitney - Thanks for that.

I agree with everything you've noted, and I am not really worried about finding another job or jobs if need be. There is a worker shortage here as well, and there are many ways I can secure income (for now, anyway). The transition may be a bit rough, but I'm confident I will land on my feet one way or the other.

Of course you will, someone with your eloquence, wisdom and quality of elucidating writing will land in a good place. The (made-up) rules of the game will change eventually but that is going to be on the knife's edge. Once the pecked fully realize they did not manage to 'buy freedom' or anything tangible at all things will change. Steering a mass psychosis is a delicate issue at the point where anything you do might suddenly break it. Not going to provide any pointers to the club though. I'm starting to have a coherent view of why this nonsense works, will get back to all of you on how it can be disabled once i have all the concepts and ideas in line.

It all starts and ends with fear. And the problem of materialist reductionism is obviously that it has fear baked into it. Being brought into this world with literally no perspective, sold the idea that basically everything is meaningless, and there is no perspective past the 'random life' you were given (by whom or what?). It IS terrifying and more importantly convincing to millions of people. This conviction being solidified by lack of experience to the contrary. The steering of our general experience is more the (most?) evil for destroying hope amongst those asking questions. Belief and intent are literally everything, for now.

@ lea - Thanks for that. The materialist-reductionists do not realize the essence of the war is spiritual. I do (as do most readers of this blog). And that makes all the difference in the world when it comes to choices and decisions.

Francis Berger,

That may be true, but until they realize that the same
folks such as Lev Bronstein aka 'Trotsky' who was the
spear point for Bolshevism and the Rothschild Bankster
agent Jacob Schiff acting in NYC as their 'financial conduit'
were literally just ancestors to the parasite class that holds
the puppet control wires over their 'corporate employees'
(aka senators, congressmen, judges and the pResident),
they'll continue to thrash uselessly in THEIR concocted
Kabuki Uniparty Political Theater.

Or they'll continue to be led astray by such controlled ops
gate-keepers as Charlie Kirk and Bill Whittle.

Many WILL continue to prefer their own volunteered
chains via the 'Plantation/Rez's' "bread & circuses"
and they will bow down and take the jab and continue
to worship at the altar of fauci and wear his face panty.

So be it...those have made their choices..and they CAN'T
be saved.

For readers of this blog however, how many KNOW that
the entire narrative of 'The Bad War' is a complete bolshevist
lie, endlessly spouted from bolshevist indoctrination centers
called 'gov schools' and colleges/universities?

The bolshevists WON "The Bad War"
And their heirs have been controlling America since '45!

Look up the interview with Harrold Wallace Rosenthal
from 1976; he openly mentions that THEY'VE controlled
every pResidential [s]Election ever since F.D.R. (yes, he
was THEIR man).
