Article 6: The Judas Cow: Why Tokenism is the Elite’s Favorite Weapon
By Janet Kira Lessin with Sasha Alex Lessin, Ph.D. January 25, 2026
MINNEAPOLIS — As the state tightens its grip through the “Metro Surge,” it employs a psychological smokescreen to keep the masses from revolting: Tokenism. To the “murderous, stealing state,” a token is more than a gesture; it is a tactical weapon used to pacify the working class while the oligarchs continue their systematic theft of human rights and resources.
The Illusion of Progress
Tokenism is the practice of placing a few “Judas Cows” from marginalized or oppressed groups into positions of visible, yet toothless, power. The elite use these tokens to signal “change” and “inclusivity” while the underlying machinery of the Greed Machine remains untouched.
When you see a diverse face defending the execution of ICU nurse Alex Pretti, you are witnessing tokenism in action. The state uses the face of the oppressed to validate the violence of the oppressor. It is a brilliant, albeit demonic, strategy: if the person delivering the message looks like you, you are less likely to recognize the “Scarcity Lie” being fed to you.
Tokenism as an Enforcement Tool
In the move toward Nazi USA, tokenism serves three primary functions for the oligarchs:
- The Shield of Virtue: By promoting tokens, the corporate state (THE UNITED STATES CORP) shields itself from charges of tyranny. They claim the system is “fair” because a few select individuals were allowed to climb the ladder, ignoring the millions they’ve pushed into the Poverty Trap.
- Dividing the Dissenters: Tokenism creates “horizontal hostility.” The working class begins to fight over the crumbs of representation rather than focusing on the “covert dictatorship” that is hoarding the entire loaf.
- The “Beneficent” Narrative: Tokens are used to sell the “Metro Surge” as a humanitarian effort. They are the voices telling you that militarized streets are for “equity” and “safety,” even as those same streets run with the blood of peaceful observers.
Beyond the Mask: Reclaiming True Sovereignty
As Sasha Alex Lessin, Ph.D. often reminds us, the elite do not care about the identity of their “collateral assets”—only their utility. Whether a Judas Cow is a career politician or a corporate token, their role is the same: to lead the herd into the slaughterhouse of debt and war.
At Dragonattheendoftime.com, we see through the tokenism. We understand that true diversity is not found in the boardrooms of the oligarchs, but in the Conscious Community. We are moving beyond the shallow masks of the state to find real connection through:
- Radical Honesty: Calling out tokenism for what it is—a distraction from the “Scarcity Lie.”
- Communication Skills: Learning to listen to the intent of the message, not just the appearance of the messenger.
- Waking Up: Recognizing that we are all “witnesses” to this historical event horizon.
The “murderous state” thrives on our willingness to be fooled by a familiar face. When we stop accepting tokens and start demanding the return of our stolen sovereignty, the Greed Machine loses its primary camouflage.
