Problem - Reaction - Solution
“Problem-Reaction-Solution” (also called Diocletian’s Problem/Theory and often said to be a form of the Hegelian Dialectic) is a control system where an entity can achieve its aims by creating the problem, getting a reaction, and then providing a solution. For example, citizens might be against a war, but a false flag attack can create the problem, people will then demand a reaction (something must be done!) and war will be the solution.
English author David Icke mentioned “problem-reaction-solution” in ... And the Truth Shall Set You Free (1995) and in other books and videos. “I mention in the book a mass mind-controlling technique which is used all the time, which I call the ‘problem-reaction-solution,’” Icke said in an interview in 1996.
Ethics Wiki
Problem Reaction Solution (Latin: Ordo ab Chao) is a mass mind control system. It is used to make changes to the law that the citizens would not accept otherwise.
1. Create a problem
. Terrorism, financial crisis, etc.
2. Manufacture a reaction
. Let the mainstream media only broadcast/print the side of the problem you want to show
3. Provide a solution
. wars, corporate tax-cuts, welfare budget cuts, etc.

LE: Can you give a specific example of how the media is used to influence public opinion?
David: I mention in the book a mass mind-controlling technique which is used all the time, which I call the “problem-reaction-solution.”
A problem is covertly created and you (whoever is doing it) make certain that someone is blamed for the problem. This might be a war. It might be a run on the currency, or a government collapse. It can be anything.
You then use the media to stimulate public opinion in relation to your created problem, so that the public cries out:
“Something must be done!”
At that point, the public will accept anything… as long as something is done!
LE: Okay. What next?
David: At that point, those who have created the problem got exactly the public reaction they wanted. They then openly, in the public arena, offer the solution to the problem that THEY created, and get the solution that they wanted all along.

The global warming “crisis” is a classic example of the problem-reaction-solution principle employed by our rulers for countless generations to build popular support for the power they intend to misuse.

I also heard a good theory of manipulation that many conspiracist and possibly government could use called Problem Reaction Solution theory.Where if you want anything to really change, just make a problem where the end solution ends up being what you want the final solution to be ...like tighter control of what people do…more police…thus a rise in violence problem (created by you) in your society causes this need to be solved, and more people will demand for police. Its something even Nicolli Machivelli would have been proud of.

the illuminati use a tactic called the problem reaction solution, first they will create the problem connected to what they want to achieve, such as the world trade center attack to further strengthen millitary, then they wait for the public to react, demanding immediate action, then the problem is solved, such as increasing millitary power, and the public thinks they want it but instead the illuminati get precisely what they wanted.

The Problem Reaction Solution Paradigm
1) The government creates or exploits a problem blaming it on others

Government gains power extremely efficiently through the Problem-Reaction-Solution dynamic. It creates the problems (inflation, poverty, business cycles, monopolies, etc.), you provide the reactions (save us from capitalism!), and it already has the solutions (I’ll take that, thank you very much).
