Controlled Opposition … Does It Exist?
The concept will require you to re-examine everything you believe.
We can’t take credit for the above image, it is from a Facebook post yesterday (HERE) by our friends at Palmetto State Watch … but the concept of “Controlled Opposition” is one of the most important in our entire political process.
Remember, “NOTHING is what it seems in Politics.“ In fact, it is important to understand that many things in politics are exactly the opposite of what they appear to be.
Controlled opposition has happened throughout history, for thousands of years, and it is most assuredly happening today. When someone tells you times are different now … run away!!! History repeats, and it always will … that is just part of the human condition.
Controlled Opposition: a strategy in which an individual, organization, or movement is covertly controlled or influenced by a 3rd party and the controlled entity’s true purpose is something other than its publicly stated purpose.
The controlled entity serves a role of mass deception, surveillance and/or political/social manipulation. In most cases the controlled party is portrayed as being in opposition to the interests of the controlling party.
“The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.”
– Vladimir Lenin
Challenge Yourself, Think!!!
- Do we have any controlled opposition in SC?
- “Who” do you think it is?
- What is the solution?
1) Do we have any controlled opposition in SC? Easy answer … YES, of course we do!!!
Although it may be an effective tactic, we don’t believe in it. We in fact want to teach people about it so you are able to identify this mental manipulation when it is being used against us … and used against you! We must expose it to stop it.
But think about it, there are bad people in this world. Don’t you think they would take the “easy route” and lie, cheat or steal to get what they want? It is easy to undermine causes … and the best way to do that is from within. Too many “strange” things happen to thwart mission for it not to exist.
2) “Who” do you think it is? Folks might not be ready to handle our theories on “who”, but you should consider anyone as potential controlled opposition.
Know too, that sometimes the controlled opposition don’t even know they are the controlled opposition. They are basically good people with good intentions … but misled by others (knowingly or unknowingly) for nefarious purposes.
Consider too, one bad person can mislead a good person, who in turn misleads another good person, and so on, and so on and so on. It gets “deep”. Show a little grace as these people are victims as well.
Our simple litmus tests to identify “controlled opposition”:
- The number one indicator, people / groups that REFUSE to come to the table to discuss matters openly and honestly. Ask yourself, what do they have to hide that would prevent them from simply discussing matters? We ask people to “talk” all the time … and some flat refuse.
- A second indicator, pull their SLED report. There are certain personality types that are willing to deceive, and many have criminal backgrounds, either from their youth … and some more recently. We are all about 2nd chances and rehabilitation … but seriously?
- A third test, “ladder climbers”. These are your politicians and others that want title and position … higher and higher office … and most are willing to do just about anything to get it. They rationalize doing small (in their minds) “bad things” today so that they can attain higher positions so they can do big (in their minds) “good things” tomorrow. They tell themselves they need to compromise on X bad thing today so they can become “Governor” and do Y good thing tomorrow. That is a slippery slope that never works. If they will compromise to get a position … what will they compromise once they have the position and want to keep it. Beware the “ladder climbers”.
3) What’s the solution?
Again, and easy answer – TRUST NO ONE! Citizens need to learn to question everything. Stop blindly trusting folks just because they use to be “good”, or they are a “friend”, or they say the things you want to hear. Check sources and verify everything yourself!!! Know that nothing is as it appears in politics, and it’s often the opposite. As we teach, “Watch what they DO, not what they SAY!”
And always, #FollowTheMoney!!!
“Think for yourself, or others will think for you without thinking about you.”
– Henry David Thoreau
Controlled Opposition is a challenging concept. It will require you to re-examine everything you believe. But, what do you have to lose? If you are wrong in your beliefs, don’t you want to know it? Why go through all this work and effort … if the reality is you are in fact aiding your own enemy.
#ThinkForYourself!!!

Two hundred thirty-nine (239) years ago today, delegates gathered in Philadelphia signed the United States Constitution, creating the framework of government that continues to guide our nation nearly two and a half centuries later.
Constitution Day is more than a date on the calendar. It is an opportunity to reflect on the remarkable document that established the separation of powers, checks and balances, federalism, and the protections of individual liberty that Americans enjoy today.
As we observe Constitution Day 2026, take a few moments to read the Constitution (HERE), revisit the Bill of Rights (HERE), and remember the vision of those who sought to secure the blessings of liberty for future generations.
Happy Constitution Day—and may we never take for granted the freedoms protected by our nation’s founding charter.

September 11th, 2001 … remember where you were?
For those old enough to remember, the answer is usually immediate. Whether at work, at school, at home, or on the road, Americans watched in disbelief as terrorists hijacked four airliners and carried out the deadliest attack on U.S. soil in our nation’s history. Nearly 3,000 innocent people lost their lives that day, and America was forever changed.
Today marks the 25th anniversary of the attacks of September 11th. Yet a sobering reality remains: approximately one-third of all Americans were not even alive when the Twin Towers fell. For an entire generation, 9/11 is not a memory—it is history taught in classrooms and remembered through stories shared by parents, grandparents, first responders, and veterans.
As time passes, our responsibility remains the same. We remember the victims, honor the heroes, pray for the families who still carry the loss, and teach the next generation what happened on that clear September morning.
Twenty-five years later, America still pauses to reflect on the day that changed our nation. May we never forget the courage displayed, the sacrifices made, and the unity that emerged in the face of unimaginable tragedy.
Never Forget.
