Divide and Conquer: The Government’s Propaganda of Fear and Fake News
John & Nisha Whitehead

“It is the function of mass agitation to exploit all the grievances, hopes, aspirations, prejudices, fears, and ideals of all the special groups that make up our society, social, religious, economic, racial, political. Stir them up. Set one against the other. Divide and conquer. That’s the way to soften up a democracy.”
J. Edgar Hoover, Masters of Deceit
“Nothing is real,” observed John Lennon, and that’s especially true of politics.
Much like the fabricated universe in Peter Weir’s 1998 film The Truman Show, in which a man’s life is the basis for an elaborately staged television show aimed at selling products and procuring ratings, the political scene in the United States has devolved over the years into a carefully calibrated exercise in how to manipulate, polarize, propagandize and control a population.
Take the media circus that is the Donald Trump hush money trial, which panders to the public’s voracious appetite for titillating, soap opera drama, keeping the citizenry distracted, diverted and divided.
This is the magic of the reality TV programming that passes for politics today.
Everything becomes entertainment fodder.
As long as we are distracted, entertained, occasionally outraged, always polarized but largely uninvolved and content to remain in the viewer’s seat, we’ll never manage to present a unified front against tyranny (or government corruption and ineptitude) in any form.
Studies suggest that the more reality TV people watch—and I would posit that it’s all reality TV, entertainment news included—the more difficult it becomes to distinguish between what is real and what is carefully crafted farce.
“We the people” are watching a lot of TV.
On average, Americans spend five hours a day watching television. By the time we reach age 65, we’re watching more than 50 hours of television a week, and that number increases as we get older. And reality TV programming consistently captures the largest percentage of TV watchers every season by an almost 2-1 ratio.
This doesn’t bode well for a citizenry able to sift through masterfully-produced propaganda in order to think critically about the issues of the day.
Yet look behind the spectacles, the reality TV theatrics, the sleight-of-hand distractions and diversions, and the stomach-churning, nail-biting drama that is politics today, and you will find there is a method to the madness.
We have become guinea pigs in a ruthlessly calculated, carefully orchestrated, chillingly cold-blooded experiment in how to control a population and advance a political agenda without much opposition from the citizenry.
This is how you persuade a populace to voluntarily march in lockstep with a police state and police themselves (and each other): by ratcheting up the fear-factor, meted out one carefully calibrated crisis at a time, and teaching them to distrust any who diverge from the norm through elaborate propaganda campaigns.
Unsurprisingly, one of the biggest propagandists today is the U.S. government.
Add the government’s inclination to monitor online activity and police so-called “disinformation,” and you have the makings of a restructuring of reality straight out of Orwell’s 1984, where the Ministry of Truth polices speech and ensures that facts conform to whatever version of reality the government propagandists embrace.
This “policing of the mind” is exactly the danger author Jim Keith warned about when he predicted that “information and communication sources are gradually being linked together into a single computerized network, providing an opportunity for unheralded control of what will be broadcast, what will be said, and ultimately what will be thought.”
You may not hear much about the government’s role in producing, planting and peddling propaganda-driven fake news—often with the help of the corporate news media—because the powers-that-be don’t want us skeptical of the government’s message or its corporate accomplices in the mainstream media.
However, when you have social media giants colluding with the government in order to censor so-called disinformation, all the while the mainstream news media, which is supposed to act as a bulwark against government propaganda, has instead become the mouthpiece of the world’s largest corporation (the U.S. government), the Deep State has grown dangerously out-of-control.
This has been in the works for a long time.
Veteran journalist Carl Bernstein, in his expansive 1977 Rolling Stone piece “The CIA and the Media,” reported on Operation Mockingbird, a CIA campaign started in the 1950s to plant intelligence reports among reporters at more than 25 major newspapers and wire agencies, who would then regurgitate them for a public oblivious to the fact that they were being fed government propaganda.
In some instances, as Bernstein showed, members of the media also served as extensions of the surveillance state, with reporters actually carrying out assignments for the CIA. Executives with CBS, the New York Times and Time magazine also worked closely with the CIA to vet the news.
If it was happening then, you can bet it’s still happening today, only this collusion has been reclassified, renamed and hidden behind layers of government secrecy, obfuscation and spin.
In its article, “How the American government is trying to control what you think,” the Washington Post points out “Government agencies historically have made a habit of crossing the blurry line between informing the public and propagandizing.”
This is mind-control in its most sinister form.
The end goal of these mind-control campaigns—packaged in the guise of the greater good—is to see how far the American people will allow the government to go in re-shaping the country in the image of a totalitarian police state.
The government’s fear-mongering is a key element in its mind-control programming.
It’s a simple enough formula. National crises, global pandemics, reported terrorist attacks, and sporadic shootings leave us in a constant state of fear. The emotional panic that accompanies fear actually shuts down the prefrontal cortex or the rational thinking part of our brains. In other words, when we are consumed by fear, we stop thinking.
A populace that stops thinking for themselves is a populace that is easily led, easily manipulated and easily controlled whether through propaganda, brainwashing, mind control, or just plain fear-mongering.
Fear not only increases the power of government, but it also divides the people into factions, persuades them to see each other as the enemy and keeps them screaming at each other so that they drown out all other sounds. In this way, they will never reach consensus about anything and will be too distracted to notice the police state closing in on them until the final crushing curtain falls.
This Machiavellian scheme has so ensnared the nation that few Americans even realize they are being brainwashed—manipulated—into adopting an “us” against “them” mindset. All the while, those in power—bought and paid for by lobbyists and corporations—move their costly agendas forward.
This unseen mechanism of society that manipulates us through fear into compliance is what American theorist Edward L. Bernays referred to as “an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.”
It was almost 100 years ago when Bernays wrote his seminal work Propaganda:
“We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of… In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons…who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.”
To this invisible government of rulers who operate behind the scenes—the architects of the Deep State—we are mere puppets on a string, to be brainwashed, manipulated and controlled.
All of the distracting, disheartening, disorienting news you are bombarded with daily is being driven by propaganda churned out by one corporate machine (the corporate-controlled government) and fed to the American people by way of yet another corporate machine (the corporate-controlled media).
“For the first time in human history, there is a concerted strategy to manipulate global perception. And the mass media are operating as its compliant assistants, failing both to resist it and to expose it,” writes investigative journalist Nick Davies.
So where does that leave us?
Americans should beware of letting others—whether they be television news hosts, political commentators or media corporations—do their thinking for them.
A populace that cannot think for themselves is a populace with its backs to the walls: mute in the face of elected officials who refuse to represent us, helpless in the face of police brutality, powerless in the face of militarized tactics and technology that treat us like enemy combatants on a battlefield, and naked in the face of government surveillance that sees and hears all.
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, it’s time to change the channel, tune out the reality TV show, and push back against the real menace of the police state.
If not, if we continue to sit back and lose ourselves in political programming, we will remain a captive audience to a farce that grows more absurd by the minute.

You can summarize this bullshit in 5 words: You are FAKE NEWS, asswipes!!!
as a friend said to me only yesterday
“flood your repetitive content with the stuff you want and work on yourself! “
I have come to question every relationship I have, with both friends and family, and the outcome is both depressing and shocking.
People I thought I knew, people who I have holidayed with, been to concerts/exhibitions with, worked with, lived with, people who I have had loving intimate relationships with, people with whom I thought I shared an outlook on life with, all of that, and I can honestly say that 99.99% of those people fell hook line and sinker for the fear porn and emotional manipulation that was prevalent during the ‘plandemic’, and will probably be used again under the pretext of ‘Bird Flu’ or some vague environmental danger. My closest ‘friends’ and some family members have referred to me as ‘People like you’, (meaning people who question the official narrative), people like me are ‘Dangerous’ apparently.
I’ve come to realise that people I love and care about, well they could stand by, clap and cheer if ‘dangerous‘ people like me were rounded up and held in camps or forcefully ‘vaccinated’, that’s a sobering conclusion to come to.
I’m 60 years old, you expect to know people after that length of time, especially family, but no it seems.
I’m surrounded by people I love and care about but I’ve never felt so absolutely alone in my life, that is the power of the malevolent propaganda corporate media and governments churn out.
May I take a moment to reach out to you?
I felt the same myself up until a year or so ago. Nowadays I regularly circulate and socialise and interact with many people of whom I would have shared your opinion until recently.
However, and this is just my personal take and one which helped me, I have had to refocus the harsh lens I applied during the lockdown years. The fact remains, people were not put on cattle carts, things did not deteriorate into authoritarian dystopia.
The reason I choose to believe this didn’t happen is because, on some deep and distant level, everybody partaking in the covid lie knew that it wasn’t real. Yes, the following is a circular argument, similar to lockdown arguments, however the fact does remain: we were afraid that the worst would happen, however it did not. It was okay because it was okay…
Yes, trite. But… if we could have peered into the very near future, would we have been so worried ourselves at the time?
What if, on some level, people could? What if they just knew? Perhaps they knew it would be fine. Or perhaps they knew of the costs and they knew it was necessary?
I am suggesting that some zeitgeist, some other-level of intelligence, might have been steering the ship during Covid. Some sort of situation which would allow all of the various statements about covid to be both true and false at the same time: No, it was not a shadowy elite pulling all the strings, that’s impossible. Yes, it was a shadowy elite pulling all the strings, that’s perfectly possible. Yes, people were at real risk from ‘covid’. No, no one was at risk from covid. Everyone is an individual. No one is an individual…
Can you blame ants in the hive for bowing to the hive’s will? Perhaps this seems patronising, but it’s not when you think about it. The one function an ant performs is to serve the all-powerful hive in some capacity or other. That’s noble. As it gathers food or patrols against predators, does it know it’s a walking neuron firing among many others in a hive brain?
Perhaps our conscience and free will (or our illusions of such) make such a concept disturbing to us. We’re not talking about termites making some poxy air-conditioned termite mound, we’re talking about higher primates here! WTF is THAT hive mind making, and could we possibly comprehend what we were looking at if we saw it?* (* Does a termite know how an air-conditioning system works?)
The prospect is terrfying!
Witnessing people tune in and out of a hive mind’s influence would indeed be disturbing. However, is this any more disturbing than the concept of falling unconscious every night into sleep, where our unconscious mind is in charge, standing watch over us to wake us up if necessary, or allowing us to continue slumbering if it’s just our husband/wife coming into the room? Who is that entity watching over us? It’s not us, is it, yet it is intelligent… Or the idea that primitive, instinctive, primeval parts of our brain, on a par with lizards and fish, control our vital functions, keeping us alive every minute of every day. Where did they receive their instructions from, and how many millions of years ago?
Don’t we cry when we’re a baby if mummy falls asleep? Where did mummy go? As we grow, we quickly accept such things, take them for granted, because we are forced to live along side them.
Like early man quaking before thunder, I think we’re on the verge of a new awakening: the hidden-in-plain-sight Hive Mind. The Collective Unconscious. The Ancestral Memory. The Borg. The Mass Formation. We’ve flirted with the idea in many different forms throughout many different ages. What if it were just TRUE??
When we finally grow to become self aware, so much about our past will make so much more sense!
On that basis, I try to trust the hive mind and understand that it probably has to make some really big decisions, the nature of which I obviously can’t fathom, nor am I qualified to judge.
And in terms of our individual culpability in the Covid episode… this necessarily becomes an infinitely more nuanced, infinitely more complicated question… which allows me to suspend my judgement a little longer and get on better with the neighbours lol

Yes, Sam. Or maybe the concept of universal consciousness is something that we ‘rejoin’ after death but are better preparing for it en masse, currently.
I am so sorry you have not found your tribe of people, like we have. Look around and find those locally who opposed the LOCKDOWN agenda. They are everywhere. But you need to research around. Start with Children’s Health Defense (CHD) and work backwards to contributors. There are Freedom Movement people trying to organize locally. Go to a meeting and get a view of the many who oppose this rampant totalitarianism in every sector. There’s the Organic Consumers Association, organic farmer associations and many others that support holistic rather than BigPharma health. Your friends are everywhere.
I totally get where you are coming from. When we challenged our relatives and friend’s world view, they considered us dangerous, crazy, or even stupid, because we are not following the herd – the majority – and we are no longer under mind control, like them.
Most people are so mind controlled, all their beliefs, are based on repetition of lies, rather than personal experience or active investigation. They don’t want to accept the basic premise that if Covid was a hoax, media lied, viruses might not exist, and governments don’t manage the public welfare, and are intentionally harming the (health, finances) of the majority.
That realization is too much for most to handle so they create a number of excuses in their minds (cognitive dissonance) by de-valuing those who disagree with their mass mind controlled, utterly false world view.
Their denial, their lack of critical thinking skills, lack of open mindedness, inability to examine previously held beliefs, lack of self reflection, over-conformity and obsequiousness to authority isn’t your problem.
I still communicate with some of those still in denial but consider them highly brainwashed children stuck in adult bodies that can’t make decisions for themselves and are basically clueless. Gaining social acceptance, or social status and having more shallow, superficial needs like getting a vax pass so they can go back to the gym or a restaurant, was more important to them than seeking truth and freedom or honesty, integrity, empathy, compassion.
I think we have to be, or at least think compassionately towards such people. I rarely come across anyone on my wavelength with regard to recent times but I still interact with family and neighbours on a human level if necessarily superficial. Everyone wakes up when they’re ready to and why would you add to their angst by forcing issues?
It seems like the OP is having trouble transitioning to the more superficial relationship that’s necessary with the brainwashed.
If someone is abusive and derogatory, like with rude or passive aggressive remarks as the OP describes… “you people”, I would never put up with that behavior.
Nobody can force or control anyone else, we can only control ourselves.
On the other hand if we have information or knowledge that others don’t and we don’t offer others the knowledge and opportunity to stop poisoning themselves, or examine their misplaced beliefs and cooperation in the worldwide slavery system, that’s morally reprehensible.

FEAR the most powerful emotion. Exploited to the hilt.
From the good old days, when the U$A knew good government:
“We have nothing to fear but fear itself” — Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
This article makes no mention of the writers of history, who could easily be considered some of the original propogandists. That fact that NickM thinks FDR was the age of “good government” is not an accident. It just shows how far back the existence of the Deep State really goes.
This list is truly disturbing:

“Collecting money for Ukraine” does not mean wanting to transfer it to Zelensky. Apart from the ridiculous amount compared to “government donations”. It clearly states that it was for “charitable purposes” of a private individual. The (obviously British) DS scribbler “Snake Baker” is a moron whose false conclusions have to serve as cynicism.
The self-proclaimed Putinists and pseudo-Christians on “Gaily Wormer” can test whether they can (still) run their website from Russia or China. Putin’s manipulators and disinformants support something in the West that they suppress and persecute in their own country, with a forked tongue for the sole purpose of causing unrest and division.
In my opinion, this “band” should be banned for decadent nihilistic “satanic” “American-style” degeneracy and placed in a closed, guarded ward (but so should Putin and all his supporters). After all, the swastika will not be banned as “criminal” in India for the time being, that much is clear.
Bird flu kills walrus!

The walrus has some esoteric meaning to them going back, at least, to Lewis Carroll’s ‘The Walrus and the Carpenter’ which in “inspired” the Beatles’ song – but what exactly it is remains opaque. BTW enjoy their new begging for cash add-on where they paint themselves as plucky outsiders.
But at least this is harmless fluffy clickbait:

“a 3-by-3ft shipping container”.
So okay, there’s one 33 – probably just a coincidence.
“Her owner, Carrie Clark”
CC = 33 so there’s another one – probably another coincidence.
“Clark and her husband got an astonishing notification from Galena’s microchip”.
Ah, there’s the agenda – the wonders of microchips! If one can return your pet imagine what it could do for your grandparent who’s becomin a bit vague… or your children who sometimes don’t tell you where they are… or for you because, hey, you don’t want to be age-ist and discriminate… Oh, and Galena was a pagan goddess,
“It’s a total miracle!”
All rounded off with a nice dose of deliberate and calculated blaspemy.

The American public is so dumbed down, bamboozled, discombobulated and cunningly manipulated within an environment where the megalomaniacal overlords employ their divide and rule tactics to the hilt. The psychological manipulation, fear, intimidation and the enforcement powers of the state are transforming the US into a Kakistocracy; a society ruled by the most venal, immoral, ruthless and psychopathic among us and their anti-life agenda is being implemented right before our eyes. Sadly the masses are too preoccupied with trivialities to see it. They know something is wrong like their standard of living is decreasing but they don’t grasp how they are being duped and programmed to passively acquiesce to the Brave New World Order that rapidly unfolding right in front of them.
Can confirm same in UK. People still ‘getting covid’ and still believing what comes out the telly.
Yeah, I watch A LOT of TV, but at least it’s 99% old movies from the 1920s-1950s.
The scourge of reality TV also created a culture of ’15 minutes of fame’ being open to anyone. Encouraging narcissistic ‘look at me’ behaviour that was taken further with the youtube and anti-social media revolution. Thick-Tok and Instagram influencers peddling any old trash for likes, views and freebies.
Endemol, the Dutch TV production company started this revolution with the ‘Big Brother’ show that launched in the Netherlands in 1999, shortly followed by the British launch in 2000. This show, literally acclimatised the population to accept 24/7 surveillance and a loss of privacy.
Somehow, I do not believe Endemol dreamed up this idea themselves. It seems more likely that there were social experimenters and/or three lettered agencies behind it.
They were probably fed with the idea in meetings, and tempted by back up funds.
Just recently I found My Aunt reading a book from 2017, about a global pandemic fiction.
I figure the Editor suggested to the female Author “what about writing about a global virus pandemic with an interesting gallery of global organisations and figures. We will finance you”. So she wrote the book published in 2017.
But conclusion, all this has for certain been y planned in detail on top level 20-30-40 years ago. Recall Bush statement of “New World Order”.
Have you seen the TV series ‘Utopia’? There are two versions, the original British version and a US version.
The original version from 2013 is the better one and bears an uncanny resemblace to Covid-1984 and the use of ‘vaccines’ (to reduce population).
Well worth watching as a superb drama and for its dystopian plot.

O/T, but an important point: the link below takes you straight to my reply (in 3 short posts) to your 100% incorrect words to me under another Off-G article a couple of days ago. You need to read the posts… when someone says that they are suffering ill-health, you should NOT make mere assumptions re. the cause of their ill-health.
As you will see from those 3 short posts, which follow on from each other (via below link; comments numbered 664192, 664194, and 664195), NO, I am NOT ‘vaccinated’ and NOT ‘boosted’; I’m very proud to have been a properly-informed anti-vaxxer for 35+ years. The last time I had a so-called ‘vaccine’ was when I was a kid of 12/13, at school. I’m 65 now, so is 52/53 years since I rolled up my sleeves and submitted to a ‘jab’. My ill-health thus has nothing to do with having had the ‘vaccines’ which began in late 2020.

I have a discrete next theme for you guys on OffG, as you urge us readers to come up with suggestions. De-population globally is an issue which concern us all!
Antivaxers think Their ‘Pure’ Semen and Erectile will Skyrocket in Value
http://www.vice.com
The Covid-19 virus is partly a vascular infection, targeting your blood vessel system, and causes both micro-clotting and macro-clotting and erectile dysfunction (ED).
One study found that people infected were more than 5 times more likely to develop ED, while the Anti-vaxers not only would be more fertile making a fortune of ‘pure’ swimmers but also would enlarge their erectile function. http://www.vice.com
The vaxers said they hope the anti-vaxers at least get Covid-19, so they do not cash in triple by refusing the stick, virus and vaxx, as this will be unfair against the entire global vaccinated population.
Start price I suggest 1 litre clean Pure $100 000 and 1 shot clean “Swimmers” $10 000.

Realize the justice system in the US is a fraud. Here, a State Court declares independence from the Constitution. This position is not political, it is systemic to this FAKE republic. City, City, County, State, Federal, they all make up the rules as they go. Made up rules become precedent for future injustice. The Bar Association is a private club monopoly above the law and runs rogue “law” for the ruling classes. We heard a City Judge, called here in Eugene OR an “Administrator”, tell my wife “the Constitution does not apply here” and “the Constitution gives us the right to make our own rules”. These statements are the “rules” the system has adopted to justify all manner of injustice prosecuted in Courts at all levels. I’m not surprised a State judge echoes it. Evidence is not allowed, victims of injustice “have no standing” and even judges customize definitions of law to juries. It’s a fraud. It’s been a fraud for the entirety of it’s existence, only now exposing itself to all. As in this article…
“Taylor’s lawyer, Vinoo Varghese, noted that the case is a difficult one in New York, hinting at the leftist bias within NY courtrooms when it comes to the 2nd Amendment. In fact, Varghese suggested that when Judge Abena Darkeh took over the case she was oddly hostile towards the defense. He mentions that she interrupted his opening statements multiple times, claiming that he could not use 2nd Amendment arguments in her courtroom:
“She told us, ‘Do not bring the Second Amendment into this courtroom. It doesn’t exist here. So you can’t argue Second Amendment. This is New York.'”
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/ny-judge-claims-2nd-amendment-doesnt-exist-her-courtroom-case-against-gunsmith
http://mileswmathis.com/vinoo.pdf
No, this is truth. I heard this spoken to my wife in court by the City judge and now since researching and hearing that this is common place, it’s what they do. Do the research yourself. Look at court transcripts for the very same words that keep locking down Constitutional rights. Calling this FAKE is the worst form of self-incarceration. For proof, just go to a lawyer at random. Tell them the circumstances of a case like this one or ours and ask them, can the Judge allow local rule making to overrule Constitutional rights. Especially ask him: “Are mandates punishable law or merely a request for public voluntary compliance as in the mask mandate”. You will find every fking one of them say mandates are law. They are NOT law. This is where a “mandate” becomes a local rule that supersedes Consitutional rights. It’s a fact. We have to change this.
If you read all the links I have provided to you in my previous comment you’ll understand everything you need to about US law, and what’s really going on.

Been looking at these “Reality TV” style “show trials”. Not sure how to compare them with the old Stalinist “show trials” of the 1930s.

“The People” aren’t sovereign and the Constitution was never for the Common Man.
Once you acquiesce jurisdiction (admiralty, statutory) you waive all Constitutional rights. The entire legal system is built on innumerable frauds.
The real history of the US is not what you believe.
Read The Constitution of No Authority by Lysander Spooner.
Constitution etymology: Constitutor means debtor.
Natural law supersedes ALL man made, positive law: Including common law, international law, canon law, military, admiralty, etc.
All US courts (operating under Roman law) use admiralty, equity (“statutory”) jurisdiction and the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). It’s colorable, meaning open to interpretation, only having the appearance of law.
The UCC and admiralty does not acknowledge the Constitution, or the Bill of Rights:
“A U.S. citizen is a person, corporation, state, individual, vessel, fiction, ward of the state, enemy of the state (see FDR’s Amendment to the Trading With The Enemy Act – 1933), debtor, child, infant.”
Courts commonly use legalese, a made up language to fraudulently reinterpret the words and intent of defendants.
The legal franchise is enforced (worldwide) using the birth certificate bonds and Cestui Que Vie trusts in the ALL CAPS NAMES which all court agents knowingly, willfully and fraudulently conflate with living men/women by presuming legal joinder.
The 12 presumptions of court you must rebut.
The legal franchise is inextricably linked to the money franchise through the Crown Temple BAR Inns of Court. It’s a private guild. This system is ancient, emanating from Babylon and beyond. The Cestui Que Vie trusts back all the currencies.

The Trump trail should be a boring trial about technical — but serious — violations of company law. The fact its about Trump, performers and “hush money” is irrelevant, in fact when the indictments were handed down the DA was at pains to point out that there is absolutely nothing illegal about paying hush money. Its the source of the money that’s the issue.
You can see propaganda in action every day. The official line promulgated in our media is that countries like China, Russia and Iran don’t have governments, they have ‘regimes’, and they never to their governments — China is “The Chinese Communist Party”, Russia is “The Kremlin” or “Putin” and so on. Its the uniformity of the terminology, from media article to politicians’ official verbiage, that suggests we’re dealing with a unified propaganda front (the stuff of conspiracy theories, no less) rather than individual opinions. (Although I don’t think its necessarily everyone in lock step, just “if you want to be published……”.)
“In its article, “How the American government is trying to control what you think,” the Washington Post points out “Government agencies historically have made a habit of crossing the blurry line between informing the public and propagandizing.”
And yet WaPo, which you quote, is itself one a Leader among those sinister “agencies that have made a habit of crossing the blurry line between informing the public and propagandizing”.
The affluent flatulent freedom-loving West has become so corrupt that the best place to examine the problem is to look in one’s mirror.
I barely glance at Main Stream Media but confess to spending “50 hours a week on TV”; not on Mainstream TV of course but on Truther Video Sites — such as OffG.

There was an economics minister from the USSR that came to New York. He found the wall street journal to sound very much like the state run news of the USSR.
But he found it ridiculous that Americans fought on which paper which “side” was more honest.
My father thinks Fox News is correct and the left is bullshit.
But the joke is that both of them are equivalent to the USSR’s single source, “pravda” (which means truth 😆).
I think Fox news is correct only in supporting Trump. And supporting Fake-Right Trump is correct as the only alternative to supporting Fake-Left Biden aka Obomba aka Bill and Killary Clinton.

Thank you for your insightful essay on the complexities of modern life and the concerning trend of societal disengagement. While I value your perspective rooted in experiences with the US government, it’s essential to recognize that this issue extends beyond borders. Governments worldwide, especially in the West, are involved in similar movements. Expanding the scope of your discussion to include global perspectives would allow readers from various backgrounds to grasp that these challenges are not exclusive to the US and may just be emerging in their own regions.
While the sheep still belive the MSM is the news, nothing will change.
My father regrets taking the jab and the fact he now emits a blue tooth signal but still watches the MSM evey day.
He has been warned repeatedly but cannot seem to make the leap of faith.
UK media is rotten to the core, promoting every perversion and creating as much division as possible.
Unelected ministers installed by the globalists plus unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats in positions of power
Sheep only interested in football, love island, Strictly come dancing and the Royal family.
I have almost given up with these people.
Is a paradigm shift in thinking required or just the occasional acknowledgement that we are being lied too?
Who knows, once they are locked down in 15 minute cities, unable to travel abroad, using digital currency and ID to buy insects to eat, they may ponder on those conspiracy theories from a few years ago…
Both the living and the dead vaccinated emit Bluetooth signals telling every little connected antenna “I am here, still sending data and I need your help”.

Now you will say the dead cannot say anything nor ask for help. But new science shows the opposite. What you have believed in up to date is obsolete. A lie. Thats the truth!
Your eternal AI Avatar who sucked everything up on you from IoT and all the bs you wrote on social media, are now YOU in eternity.
Satan was right. You will not die by eating the forbidden fruit. You can be a whore, a sniper, sniff all the coke you want, steal, kick your boss in his f…… behind, rob a bank, and STILL live forever!
This Avatar act like you, talk like you, and walks like you, and your dead body is sending messages from the Dead’s Kingdom i Hades to your Avatar via Bluetooth. It is that simple!
Vote globalist or the puppy gets it…. literally:

They sure do have a sense of humour, albeit of the decidedly sick-and-twisted variety.
BTW I think I’ve cracked what “drain the swamp” meant. It was obvious that Trump was masterfully speaking when he repeated this phrase – but what was the hidden layer of meaning? In Billington’s ‘Fire in the minds of men’ he mentions that C19th revolutionaries used the term “swamp” as one of contempt for the center and compromise (because swamps are neither land nor water, neither one thing nor the other). Therefore what Trump meant was that he was going to be polarising – which of course was exactly what he was and continues to be.
I think you will find that D.C. was built on swamp land , that had to be drained before any construction could take place. Once its drained in the future and destroyed, it will allegedly be returned to a nature reserve.
Unfortunately a fair amount of people want someone else to do their thinking, they are not going to beware something that they want.
“Information Control Is Mind Control
True understanding of the present requires true records of the past. The disappearance of certain books, of certain information, impacts the collective mind of society the same way hypnotic forget-commands act on individuals.
The essence of mind-control is information control. You are most free when you have the most complete access to information. “Secret, don’t tell” is the beginning of enslavement, individual or social. “Classified” information makes an entire society amnesic. A lie in the “news” deceives an entire society. For either an individual or a large democratic society to best function, there must be complete and accurate information.”
Excerpt from “Secret, Don’t Tell – The Encyclopaedia of Hypnotism” by Carla Emery DeLong (https://www.secretdonttell.com/):
Framing the meaning of information works at a higher level than restricting access.
Higher in the sense of upstream to what then follows.
Thus even records of the past become confirmation of the bias of the present.
I’m not arguing with what you said but I see the evolution or development of consciousness as its context.
Benjamin Netanyahu and Joseph Biden have failed to apologize for attempting to deceive the Israeli and American people with the covert military-intelligence-media psychological operation involving the wholly-imaginary, falsified beheading of 40 babies by Hamas soldiers on October 7, 2024.
Their failure to issue sincere public apologies for their shared crime of attempted mass mind rape can be seen as clear evidence proving their primary intention was/remains the escalation of tensions, installing virus-infected fake software updates into the minds of the people which makes the people falsely feel morally outraged, and eventual initiation of catastrophic (potentially worldwide) war.
Such a wider war would result in the unnecessary deaths and injury of millions, which begs the obvious question: Why would Benjamin Netanyahu, Joseph Biden and other so-called “world leaders” refuse to do the right thing and publicly correct the historical record, admit or clarify that the atrocity-porn horror story, “40 Babies Beheaded!!!”, was nothing less than malevolently conceived, pure, engineered war propaganda deception?
The answer should be painfully obvious by now for men and women across the Earth who maintain any measure of critical big picture thinking.
Benjamin Netanyahu, Joseph Biden and other so-called “world leaders” have been proven guilty beyond any reasonable doubt of premeditated mass murder, – the murder weapon being deadly mRNA “vaccines” (gene-editing injections, or to be precise, mRNA bioweapons).
In their desperate state, fearing inescapable Nuremberg-style prosecutions and likely death sentences after conviction, the criminals have decided all-or-nothing major war is their final/only escape route from facing accountability for their historic-magnitude, truly detestable, unforgivable actions.
C’mon then, lets have it out. I’m not “Sociolog”, I’m not paid, and the ecologic matters of fact about the world I’ve posted are verifiable, and they are directly opposed to those of the WEF ‘cabal’ who want to ‘grow the economy’ even though that is as it always was a complete impossibility. Yes, I have been posting here for years, long before Covid (which I predicted inasmuch as the economy was about to collapse and would have done is it was not reorganised during the scamdemic or plandemic). The reason I persist is because there needs to be an open minded debate about future viability before all this tribalism irrupts into full blown fascism.
The commenters on the prevailing forums—here, there and everywhere—are mostly mindless idiots. If you do not agree that the human condition is precarious because of ecological destruction and the human economy is the sole reason for that plundering and impoverishment of the majority of humanity (and eliminative of biodiversity), then fine. Either say nothing or engage in reasonable debate.
Otherwise, ‘they’ win. Economics is pseudoscience based on very unsafe mathematical assumptions about the world and inducting mathematical sequences to the “mathematical infinite” whichever does not exist. The 200 year experiment to make these assumptions work is both apocalyptic and catastrophe where both words carry the connotation of changing view or viewpoint… in a boiling cauldron of excrement as predicted by Hoover.
The earth, organic lifeforms, the anatomically modern phenome (the body-as-body), other biodiverse embodiments and so on are all ecologically real and economically disposable. Most of everything else is abstractions, including mathematic economic abstractions like money and private property. Anybody read any Korzybski recently…. “The map is not the territory”. The political economic map is not even terrestrial. It is a map of a completely make-believe imaginary most people seem more fond of than terrestrial real-time reality-checking.
Whatever anyone else thinks, I’d like to see life continue indefinitely, which it can if unburdened by human economic overconsumption; whichever, for the record, is by the already massively overdeveloped countries, not the poor ones that were colonised to improve our habitability. If you cannot read the above a overt imperialism and you actually think you are oppressed by being the most materially rich humans ever, well, let’s just call that an abstraction for now and have it out!
(PS: I’ve gotta go and work for the Human, but as the Big Guy said “I’ll be back, soon!”)
“The reason I persist is because there needs to be an open minded debate”
And OffG is one of the rare sites where different sides can debate openly.
Perhaps one should start, as usual, by agreeing what one means by “growing the economy”:
To Klaus the Schwab and other numerically restricteded members of the so-called WEF “Elites” (“Chosen”) it means: They get more money.
To me and millions of other people it means “Making two ears of corn grow where one grew before” — and equal shares.
I think the only part of ‘growing the economy’ they think of, is that it makes debt smaller than it would be in a stable economy.
Growing the economy means doubling the material and energy resources, that were once habitats for biodiversity, and turning them into waste commodities faster than I can type. Primary raw matter and primary raw energy are going from “landgrab to landfill” instantly in order to make us ‘happy’ (eudaemonic ethics at the heart of economics). To be clear, we are not talking about material necessity and physiologic need: the ‘good life’ is in the polar opposite to that (transcendence from bodily passion as ‘rational’; “dispositional realism”; etc.)
That’s the overproductive economy (ineconomy) that most people think of as transacted goods and commodity exchange. But there is the “derivative economy” that makes money from money that is full 75X the size of the overproductive economy. We take the earth and turn in into numbers in order to feel ‘freedom’, ‘liberty, esteem and so on. How free we will be when we can no longer breathe, what liberty!
So there is a combination of the throwaway consumer society of “conspicuous consumption” and the “accursed share” of non-productive expenditure of the earth’s resources which is simply Ponzi overfinancialisation reinvested in itself… none of which is actually socially necessary. To be completely clear, almost all of the economy as actually extant is actually unnecessary. As for the necessary, well what is “socially necessary?”
Despite all the hype, no ecologist wants to go back to nature. Orthopaedics, antibiotics, dentistry and so on are definitely “socially necessary”. We have used half of the non-renewables this century. For the next doubling we need every resource the planet ever had, but half of it is gone. Can you see the dilemma?
Neoclassic diseconomics have been debunked so many times and yet here we are clamouring for more freedoms, more liberties when we should be preserving the best of medicine, the best of knowledge, the best of of science and technology by making them socially necessary and not just squandering them on abstract numerology and an accelerant landill ethic as “aesthetics of waste”… there is nothing left to waste!
So, the ‘ethical’ heart of economics is ‘human flourishing’ on a resourceless planet polluted by wasted ‘happiness’! The free-market has failed humanity. Time to move on from neoliberal nostalgia that we spaffed in making nobody particularly ‘happy’.
Subdivide:
To divide something into smaller parts.
The Scamdemic was very successful in achieving ‘subdivisions’ in politics and communities.
Anarchists, the Left, the Right, workers and professional people cleaved by lies and fear.
The Suiturds responsible must continue to be exposed until they cave in.
