Malicious compliance

Malicious compliance (also known as malicious obedience) is the behavior of strictly following the orders of a superior despite knowing that compliance with the orders will have an unintended or negative result. It usually implies following an order in such a way that ignores or otherwise undermines the order's intent but follows it to the letter.

malicious elites

malicious elites
(noun)

A shadowy group of individuals, often descended from ancient bloodlines such as the Medici or Borgia families, who remain invisible to the average person. Commonly mistaken elites are royals, world leaders, tech billionaires, or corporate CEOs (like those of BlackRock or Vanguard), these figures allegedly hold no true power—only the illusion of it, sustained through manipulation and blackmail.

The malicious elites are not the Illuminati, Freemasons, or the wealthy attendees of Bohemian Grove gatherings. They are far beyond that—unknown, unseen, and untouchable—yet said to control every atom on Earth.
Politicians come and go, but the malicious elites stay in charge.”
