Western nations are run using propaganda. People accept our decline because they believe the artificial narratives created to maintain an illusion of thriving countries.
We are manipulated by a shadowy cabal who will win thanks to the forces they command.
The pandemic response demonstrated this. People witnessed two things, the scale of the problem, with academia, media, politics and corporations moving as one; and mass conformity, with the majority unwilling to challenge questionable mandates from authority figures.
Everything, then, is a psyop causing the masses to vote for their own destruction. It is difficult to stop this form of hypnosis. Surely we are doomed?
Ignoring dead institutions
Psychological operations do exist, but the biggest psyop is not shadowy groups scamming us for climate change taxes or insisting diversity is a strength. The most effective operation is convincing us we should pay attention to systems that have long since stopped benefiting us, foremost among them being politics, traditional media and the corporate world.
Our politicians are a disaster; there is not a statesman among them. The current “best” pick for the Democrat ticket for president in the US is an inept diversity hire barely able to articulate her own policies. Embarrassingly, she has a documented history of behavioural issues her own staff have found impossible to hide or endure, including alcoholism.
The traditional media is evidently on life support. They are haemorrhaging audiences and are incapable of discussing basic issues people care about. Many journalists have become activists generating news rather than reporters observing it, and it doesn’t work. No one wants lectured by actors pretending to be neutral parties.
Major corporations will not survive the collapse of the petrodollar and are a declining force in the world anyway. It can seem like they dominate everything, but they are risk-averse, brittle monsters with feet of clay. Few innovate and all of them have been weakened by diversity policies that destroy their competitiveness in a globalized world they themselves helped usher in.
They are a microcosm of Western society itself, trading on past glories while their only remaining expertise is marketing which serves to hide some of their decline.
Even if you believe we have a cabal of overlords with deep pockets they are forced to work through the media, the politicians and the corporations. As a consequence the major organs of Western Liberalism are dying and along with it the capacity of elites to steer nations. Their time is drawing to a close.
Reclaim your agency
A lot of the propaganda is to convince you of forces beyond your control; it is the economy, capitalism or some new Hitler with access to doomsday weapons. It emphasizes how little control we have or can expect in life.
It is an artificial reminder of our smallness and an explicit attempt to demoralize us. If we reject this it tends to break the spell.
What to do instead? Let it die by finding alternatives wherever possible. It is usually that simple. Tune out the doom and gloom and find something better. This can be applied to many areas of life.
News and information is a key area under severe control. The traditional media is lost. But new media sources are always appearing. Substack was a refuge for many during Covid as the television networks and newspapers revealed how captured they had become. It has become stronger since.
Switch off your TV, or at least ration it. Find different sources for news or current affairs. Better still, ask yourself if this issue really matters; will you care a few years from now? They are often selling nonsense with no bearing on your own life.
Politics is an obvious target for our societal masters. But in controlling it they have destroyed its credibility. Fewer and fewer now believe we can vote our way out of trouble. It is simply too captured by people who can print money.
Since most ballots exclude a “none of the above” option then non-voting helps delegitimize elections. Choosing between several handpicked globalist weirdos is not a choice. Tactical voting can work, although rarely succeeds. In most elections staying away seems to send the strongest message; an implicit rejection of the current system.
A key area of mass propaganda is lifestyle. The food we eat is poison, and several industries live off our declining health as a result. The people selling statins don’t want you discovering information about seed oils, artificial preservatives or the fine details of the food chain.
We don’t need to eat processed junk food. It is always a choice. We have farmers markets, healthy options, and different approaches to nutrition. There has never been more information available outside the controlled narrative. It takes effort, but it is something almost anyone can do. It begins by reading food labels and making better choices. Nutrition is one of the key ways for people to learn how to retake control of their lives and how a seemingly daunting prospect is in fact quite straightforward to tackle once you get started.
These are small things. But they represent something deeper and more important. Agency. This is what a psyop is designed to damage. Our sense of agency or control over our lives. They own us, they own our world. You must remain convinced of this for it to work. But this is not entirely true, otherwise they wouldn’t need the propaganda.
Making small changes in diet, information sources or even entertainment begins to deprive them of the foundation of their power, your belief you can do nothing.
Do not identify with their causes
If there is a psyop it is comprised mainly of elite worries offloaded onto us.
Most of what they agonize over is our emancipation from poverty and bondage, which challenges their position.
So much of the propaganda is them convincing you their death is important to you. Dead newspapers, dying TV channels, falling numbers.
We are told declining media and the rise of alternative news sources is a danger to democracy. The upstarts are peddlers of misinformation.
This is false, although reflects a deeper truth. The rise of alternatives is a danger to them. They no longer control the narrative quite so well.
People using “fossil fuels” means catastrophe. We are damaging the planet, so say the owners of private jets. But it really means cheap energy for all, which they dislike. This is empowering as the Indians and Chinese understand. It changes the trajectory of entire nations.
During Covid we were told individuals conducting their own research was dangerous. The notion of being informed was condemned even from broadsheets and previous stalwarts of the media world. It was absurd. They demonstrated all they could cope with was total obedience.
A great example reflecting their worldview is the availability of cheap international travel, which has always bothered elites. Plebs travelling to exotic locations that ought to be reserved only for them.
They want a world that looks like a World Economic Forum get together in Davos. The nice food, the private jets and the upmarket hookers are just for them, not the peasants who are quite literally kept out by armed guards.
This is how they view the world. This is what they are convinced their psyops can create. And it is this bubble that has burst.
We are many, and they are a dying minority on their last legs unable to cope with little blogs and shaky Tik Tok videos. Such is the reality of their power.
Yesterday’s men are a joke. But they are good at marketing. Our job is to see beyond it.
Tune out the propaganda, and understand it is designed to fool you. Then focus on the positive. Trust your instincts, do your own research and take life into your own hands; your diet, your information sources, the entertainment you consume. Choose better and layer it up over time until you feel more in control.
It can feel demoralizing as the systems die around us, but this is because propagandists and manipulators are not builders. They are parasites. Their sense of panic seeps into everything. But as they die, we flourish.
Our job is to starve them while we focus elsewhere, building a world we can enjoy living in. Tune them out and focus on yourself and let their propaganda die with them.
Public education needs to be added to this list of systems that need to be ignored.
Excellent, spirit-lifting perspective and great advice!
Especially that of reducing our intake of poisons in the form of bad "food", "entertainment", and "news". When we stop taking in poison, we grow stronger!
