Conning the American public that they are incompetent.
What more do you want to qualify them as a success? Most people think they are incompetent because they are operating according to a different game-plan, or paradigm, than the normal person. Normal people wouldn't operate at this level of corruption and genuine evil. These people are expert Machiavellian psychopaths (with a strong dose of Straussian Noble Lie telling) and to attempt to associate normal behaviors to them is an exercise in futility. You absolutely CANNOT continue to believe that the administration is incompetent - they are completely competetent and shocking us into accepting a fascist version of America
Machiavelli - who greatly influenced Strauss - laid out how the elites would/coopt any form of government they wanted:
He who desires or attempts to reform the government of a state, and wishes to have it accepted and capable of maintaining itself to the satisfaction of everybody, must at least retain the semblance of the old forms; so that it may seem to the people that there has been no change in the institutions, even though in fact they are entirely different from the old ones.

The Tank Man
Tank Man, or the Unknown Rebel, is the nickname of an anonymous man who became internationally famous when he was videotaped and photographed during the Tiananmen Square protests on 5 June 1989. Several photographs were taken of the man, who stood in front of a column of Chinese Type 59 tanks, preventing their advance. The most widely reproduced version of the photograph was taken by Jeff Widener (Associated Press), from the sixth floor of the Beijing Hotel, about half a mile (800 m) away, through a 400 mm lens.
Another version was taken by photographer Stuart Franklin of Magnum Photos. His photograph has a wider field of view than Widener's picture, showing more tanks in front of the man. Franklin subsequently won a World Press Award for the photograph. It was featured in LIFE magazine's "100 Photos that Changed the World" in 2003. Variations of the image were also recorded by CNN and BBC film crews, on videotape, and were transmitted across the world.
The still and motion photography of the man standing alone before a line of tanks reached international audiences practically overnight. It headlined hundreds of major newspapers and news magazines and was the lead story on countless news broadcasts around the world. In April 1998, the United States magazine TIME included the "Unknown Rebel" in its 100 most influential people of the 20th century.

Century Of The Self
If you have an interest in mass psychology and the power of advertising, this is a remarkably eloquent and epic 4 part series from BBC 4 and director Adam Curtis which explores the influence of Freudian psychoanalysis and Edward Bernays’ PR techniques in shaping western mass media, politics and consumer culture.
If you can look past the dark and ominous veneer and sit through the 4 one hour segments – it will provide some truly relevant back story for anyone involved in the advertising industry and especially those that use powerful empathy tools like personas.
More details of each episode below ...
Episode 1: Happiness Machines
The story and relationship between Sigmund Freud - the father of psychoanalysis, and his American nephew Edward Bernays – one of the architects of modern ‘public relations’ in the 1920s. Bernays’ techniques of mass-consumer persuasion were deeply influenced by Freud’s work and applied successfully by many companies to systematically link mass-produced goods to the unconscious desires of the population at large.
Episode 2: The Engineering of Consent
This episode explores how those in power in post-war America used Freud's ideas about the unconscious mind to suppress the savage potential lurking within each individual. If left to its own devices – the population would revert to the irrational instincts that resulted in the previous decade of war in Europe.
Episode 3: The Policeman Inside All Our Heads: He Must Be Destroyed
In the 1960s, radical psychotherapists like Wilhelm Reich, a pupil of Freud’s, challenged influence of Freud’s ideas in America. Rather than pursuing repression and control of the unconscious, this alternate school of thought encouraged self-expression. This resulted in the atomization of the traditional ‘self’ in popular culture and gave rise to the Me Generation. Businesses soon adapted to this change but still used psychoanalytic techniques and researcg methodologies proposed by groups like Stamford Research Institute’s VALs system (Values and Lifestyles) to read the inner desires of the New Self.
Episode 4: Eight People Sipping Wine in Kettering
This final episode reveals how politics has applied the same principles explored in the first 3 episodes to understand and read the desires of the emergent self.

Unknown creatures found in cave
Eight previously unknown invertebrate creatures have been discovered in a cave in central Israel.
The largest is a white shrimp-like crustacean. Another resembles a species of scorpion and is blind.
The cave, near the city of Ramle, contains a lake and was uncovered during drilling at a quarry.
Scientists say it is a unique ecosystem that has been sealed off from the rest of the world for five million years and could contain other ancient lifeforms.
"The uniqueness is of the environmental conditions and of the palaeohistory," said Dr Hanan Dimantman, a biologist at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
"The result of this is that the ecosystem is unique. We are sure that the eight species that were found are only the beginning of the story of this ecosystem."
