The purposes of controlled opposition include:
• Coopting or preempting genuine resistance movements in order to neutralize the threat that a grassroots movement would pose to an established power structure
• Preempt or neutralize true but negative information by having it be disclosed or championed in a skewed/stigmatized manner by a person or group. The truth can be peppered with disinformation or the truth of the message can be neutralized by association due to the extreme, radical, or unpalatable positions held by the controlled entity (person or group) who is disclosing the information or is “championing” a position. The stigmatized or adulterated truth in turn steers people away from truthful information which would normally cause criticism or a serious backlash against the controlling party. Stigmatized truth also greatly inhibits independent research into sensitive areas (usually involving criminal acts by the controlling entity) and serves to manipulate social dynamics in a manner in which it becomes taboo to publicly discuss sensitive (albeit critically important) subjects.
• Hijack the goals and actions of an organization or movement for purposes other than those that were the original intentions of the grassroots movement.
• Give the public the false illusion of choice by presenting a political party or social organization that superficially speaks to the desires or frustrations of the citizenry but whose actions do not further the stated goals of the organization.
• Disinformation or deception of the masses. Steering the masses in the wrong direction or misdirect their energies, beliefs and actions.
• Unmask and monitor the true opposition.
• Create a chaotic and divisive environment in which the opposition cannot band together and there is general mistrust thereby ensuring that an organized motivated opposition with clear goals and priorities never manifests.
• Act in such a way that superficially appears to benefit the opposition, but in truth furthers the ends of the controlling party.
The strategy of controlled opposition works best under circumstances in which the masses are gullible, credulous, lack critical thinking and are unable to connect the dots and see how the actions/inaction or manipulation of information from the controlled entity benefit the controlling entity.
In the third rank we shall set up our own, to all appearance, opposition... Our real opponents at heart will accept this simulated oppositional their own and will show us their cards... Our subjects will be convinced to the existence of full freedom of speech.
