As the midterm election voting date approaches, Simon's attention has indeed turned to this matter.

The 1994 midterm elections were related to the American political landscape for at least two decades before and after the millennium, and it was also a major transition from neoliberalism to neoconservatism in modern America.

All kinds of so-called ‘ism’ cannot be explained in a few words, and Simon only cares about the elements related to the Westeros system.

For example, the attitude of the two concepts towards large enterprises.

Neo-liberalism pursues fairness, which is why the US government's splitting of corporate giants such as AT-T and strict antitrust restrictions in the past many years have occurred. On the contrary, 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.

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

For Simon, naturally the latter is more able to promote the development of the Westeros system.

Therefore, Simon may be more willing to be a supporter of the Republican Party if it is not the case. In fact, in this mid-term election, the Westeros system has begun to place bets on both sides.

For two days on the weekend, on the surface, he stayed at Point Du Mui Manor and did not go out. Simon spent most of his time dealing with matters related to the midterm elections.

Inside the large study room on the first floor of the Baker Villa.

After finishing the call with Joseph Schrapp on the East Coast, Simon put down the microphone and looked at Janet, who was not far away holding the densely packed nameplate on a wall where Seattle was recognizing. He got up and walked over, looking at the 46 pairs of whiteboards on the wall with names written on them. This is the nameplate of all congressmen and congressmen or candidates involved in the "sniper plan" and "maintenance of the basic disk" plan of the Westeros system in the 1994 midterm elections.

After a series of lobbying, gaming or exchanges, the initial 23-person ‘sniper plan’ was reduced to 21 persons, and the ‘maintenance of the basic disk’ plan involved 25 people.

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

In comparison, in this mid-term election, the average campaign funding for a single senator was only 4 million U.S. dollars, which is still on the premise of a sharp increase compared to previous years. The average campaign cost of the House of Representatives is even lower, only $500,000.

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

Due to the strict restrictions of the Federal Election Law, of the 250 million US dollars of funds, more than 200 million US dollars are actually various indirect investments. This money may play a role in half the cost of a well-defined campaign. The effect was not achieved, but as long as it was a slightly passable plan, even if it proved to be useless in the end, even if it was sacked by some people, Simon didn't hesitate to smash it down.

Simon Westero's money is not so easy to take.

The strict financial supervision of the subsidiaries of the Westeros system is well known. In the mid-term elections, in order to prevent some illegal channels that should not flow into the capital from becoming the handle of attacks, the financial supervision is even more stringent. Expenses of more than ten thousand dollars need approval from Simon or Janet

Not only that, the intelligence team of the Westeros family is also closely monitoring the specific cost of funds.

Therefore, Simon is basically clear about the money flowing into private pockets.

Just deliberately opened one eye and closed one eye.

There is no fish when the water is clear.

However, if you take the money and don't do anything now, it doesn't mean you don't 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 be scapegoats to do certain things. Or use this as a handle to either go to jail or do some ugly dirty work, which can be considered as making the best use of it.

Janet and Seattle are playing a game of guessing names.

My daughter only took a few glances at the nameplate on the wall and she remembered it all clearly, and she knew exactly where a certain person's name was. It was a typical photographic memory.

Letting the mother and daughter play for a while, Simon smiled and said, "Don’t always spoil Sil, be careful in the future if Moore and Nick don’t kiss you, they are your own. And, today is Nick’s one year old. Don’t you help me prepare for your birthday?"

Janet pointed to another location. Listening to Seattle's accurate answer, she affectionately posted a post on the little guy’s cheek. She said indifferently: "Jenny is preparing. I have already said it. I will exchange with her. You are mine and Nick is hers."

Simon was helpless.

Janet was distressed for a period of time because she had never been pregnant. In those days, she had a good feeling when she saw other people's children, and she wished to take them home and raise them by herself. When she first became pregnant in Melbourne, she was very excited for a while.

After Melbourne and Nicholas were born one after another, they seemed to have completed a certain task, and Janet soon lost interest in the cumbersome thing of raising children. Veronica has always taken Melbourne in the early days, and now Jennifer is in charge. For Seattle's pet, more and more intelligent big girls meet the natural closeness of smarter little girls.

Ignoring her husband's expression, Janet, who was tired, put Seattle into Simon's arms and asked, "I just heard you and Joseph discuss the National Rifle Association?"

Simon was holding his daughter, and didn't mean to avoid the topic to the little guy, and said: "Yes, this time there is too much noise, and the two parties will inevitably rebound afterwards. Always find a scapegoat to take the lead."

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

The two projects of the Westeros system will end perfectly without any accident.

What needs to be considered now is the aftermath.

Although he is a very important supporter of the Democratic Party, because of the internal division of the Democratic Party, Simon can't guarantee that someone will jump out and target the Westeros system afterwards.

The Republicans need to be more vigilant.

Simon has not forgotten an episode that happened to the Gralf family. During this time, in addition to a certain CIA agent who had evaporated, Simon also ruined a private equity of about 20 million on Wall Street. The Fund, monitoring and tracing of this matter are also continuing.

This time, whether it was the ‘sniper plan’ or the ‘maintenance of the basic disk’, most of the targets were aimed at the Republican Party.

Even if it is the winner of this mid-term election, it is difficult to guarantee that the Republicans will not settle their accounts after the fall.

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

If you want to add a crime, there is no reason to worry.

Even if Simon is very cautious in the operation of funds, it is impossible to avoid marginal behavior. These are actually the gray areas that both sides have defaulted in the past political campaigns. However, if it is true, it will definitely be troublesome.

I started thinking about this issue very early.

The solution is the ‘scapegoat plan’ just discussed with Joseph Schrapp.

In this mid-term election, the Westeros system performed very well, because the Clinton administration successively introduced gun control laws, and the enraged National Rifle Association was even more aggressive.

What Simon had to do was to put the National Rifle Association in front.

In the proposed 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 guns. At the same time, during this period, The Westeros system will also pay close attention to the shooting incidents in various parts of the United States, as a'recipe' for subsequent momentum building.

Shootings in the United States are very frequent.

Take 1993 as an example, excluding suicide, the annual number of shootings exceeded 40,000, and the death toll reached 13,000. This loss is equivalent to a large-scale war.

Therefore, exposing the operation of the National Rifle Association in response to this mid-term election, and then publicizing the serious consequences of some shooting cases, whether active or passive, the spearhead of public opinion will quickly be directed at the National Rifle Association. At that time, even the two parties in Congress will have to Stand out.

The National Rifle Association has a big head in front, attracting most of the firepower of public opinion. Even if someone finds trouble with the Westeros system, Simon can deal with it relatively calmly.

In fact, during this period, it was not just the ‘scapegoat plan’, Simon also made some other arrangements intentionally or unintentionally.

For example, the ‘Information Age’ big marketing plan, which has been in full swing since the beginning of the month.

For example, the Thanksgiving Day schedule opened on November 11.

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

These arrangements are designed to capture as much public attention as possible, so that they can look away from the midterm election as soon as possible. .

In the 20th century, the most famous strategic thinker in the West, Brzezinski, had a very famous "pacifier theory". This theory is rarely seen in the media, but unknowingly it has spread to the world.

In my memory, the **** theory was put forward at a global elite gathering in San Francisco in 1995, and it is still 1994.

Simon could know in advance.

With the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the loss of the focus of the long-term confrontation between the East and the West, social problems such as the gap between the rich and the poor in this society will become increasingly prominent, and the 28th law of wealth concentrated in a few people will become more and more serious.

In order to prevent the gradually marginalized 80% of the earth’s population from causing too much trouble for the 20% of the upper-class elites, Brzezinski’s solution is to put pacifiers on these marginalized populations. The specific measures are to pass Vigorously promote the development of the entertainment industry, so that virtual content such as movies, music, and games that can satisfy the sensory stimulation to the greatest extent can occupy the public's attention, making these people gradually paralyzed, settled in the status quo, and no longer think about real problems such as social injustice.

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

South Korea’s social inequality under the control of chaebols is very serious. However, South Korea’s society has always been very stable. As for the reasons, it is self-explanatory to compare the pacifier theory and look at Korea’s extremely prosperous entertainment industries such as movies, music, and games.

This is largely the reason why the Japanese economy has stalled and the culture has resumed prosperity.

The so-called "low desire society" in Japan 20 years later seems to be a very serious social problem. In fact, it is not the result that the ruling class of Japan hopes to see. Without desire, only instinct is left. Only in this way can we be more at ease as a'community animal', right?

Later, the smart phone is undoubtedly another pacifier worldwide.

Simon remembers a statistic that more than 50% of smartphone users in the world use their mobile phones for more than 5 hours a day. A person only has 24 hours a day, 8 hours of work, 8 hours of rest, three meals a day and 3 hours, and the rest happens to be only 5 hours.

When the Westeros system became larger and larger, Simon almost instinctively began to consider this issue.

Public opinion is like water.

Carrying and overturning the boat is by no means empty talk.

If everyone thinks that the development of the Westeros system should be restricted, Simon will undoubtedly face very big trouble.

This requires a solution.

Then, Simon thought of the "pacifier theory" that he occasionally saw in his memory.

Brzezinski is definitely a genius.

Long-term planning cannot be accomplished overnight. However, in the short term, in order to shift the focus of public opinion and temporarily fill the public eye with certain things, the current Westeros system can already be easily achieved.

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

For the deep-seated reason, Simon did not explain to anyone.

The high-sounding reason is naturally to further promote the development of new technology industries and accelerate the pace of the public's entry into the information age.

In just one week, with spare no effort to invest, the overwhelming "Information Age" propaganda plan has a good effect, occupying a large number of media pages, and easily suppressed the heat of the midterm elections.

After the mid-term elections, the ‘Information Age’ big marketing plan continues. However, on November 11th, when the Thanksgiving Day, when multiple films are opened at the same time, starts, there will be a nationwide ODY feast waiting for the public to enjoy.

The angel descended.

Don't worry about the mid-term elections.

In order to achieve this goal, the third edition of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show this time will even have to reach the sum of the previous two editions. Although the TV broadcast will have to wait until November 16, but after the scene on November 12, The North American mainstream media will quickly be flooded with topics on the Victoria's Secret show.

With all this unfolding, Simon does not believe how many people will pay attention to the mid-term elections that seem to be so manipulated.

Even if it is manipulated, it is the pot of the National Rifle Association.

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

Until the evening.

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

Simon certainly has no opinion on this.

Because it is a children’s birthday party, tonight’s guests were specifically screened. Except for a few core executives of the Westeros system, other guests will come with their children.

Even though Simon has never liked to socialize in the Du Mui Point Manor, this time with many invitations, the birthday party has exceeded two hundred people. It is already winter, and the weather is getting colder. It is impossible for the party to be held in the open-air venue of the manor, so the guests are fortunate to enter the interior of Baker Villa.
