Controlled Opposition … Does It Exist?

The concept will require you to re-examine everything you believe.

Published

on

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!!!

  1. Do we have any controlled opposition in SC?
  2. “Who” do you think it is?
  3. 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!!!

Proverbs 13:4

Published

on

Proverbs 13:4 is a powerful reminder that your efforts are not wasted! Even when immediate results are hard to see, when it feels like your hard work is not producing results, trust that in fact the change is incremental and often requires decades of persistent work by dedicated individuals.

Your years of showing up, whether through grassroots organizing, advocating, educating others, or amplifying contentious voices are laying the foundation for change and the change itself! Just think of those that used to be involved and are not today. Your ability to keep going, sets you apart!

“The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.”

Proverbs 13:4

To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), consistency builds integrity … turns values into impact. Sadly we watch fellow patriots “turn” … change their stances, go against those that they should be supporting based on their convictions.

Happy Sunday!

Isaiah 1:17

Consistency builds integrity … turns values into impact. Sadly we watch fellow patriots “turn” … change their stances, go against those that they should be supporting based on their convictions.

Why people change? Constantly navigating conflicting views or defending unpopular stances can easily lead to burnout. As we all know, politics can also reward compromise with tangible benefits.

It’s about recognizing these pressures and choosing to prioritize principle over ease, even when it’s hard. Those who steadfastly uphold justice and compassion, refusing to bend under pressure, are the real winners. Their unwavering commitment to doing right, defending the oppressed, and advocating for the vulnerable, creates lasting impact and earns true respect, outshining those who trade integrity for fleeting gains.

“Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.”

Isaiah 1:17

To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), when do you set boundaries? While you try to correct the bad behavior with clarity and grace, pay attention to patterns.

Happy Sunday!

Titus 3:10-1

Published

When do you set boundaries? While you try to correct the bad behavior with clarity and grace, pay attention to patterns. Is the person’s behavior consistently disruptive or disrespectful? Are they unwilling to listen or change? Are they not willing to discuss? Time to set or escalate boundaries. Disengage from the person to protect your peace and the community’s well-being. Forgive but don’t enable.

“As for a person who stirs up division, after warning them once and then twice, have nothing more to do with them, knowing that such a person is warped and sinful; they are self-condemned.”

Titus 3:10-1

To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), embrace opposition as part of our mission, criticism as spiritual resistance, resilience in faith, remain steadfast, NEVER NEVER GIVE UP!

Happy Sunday!
