Watch the Narrative Be Created

Crises can be clarifying because you can see in real time how people react. You get an unfiltered glimpse into the character of a person or a system. 

It's stress testing. We saw during the pandemic just how corrupt our medical and public health institutions are. We saw the money grabs, the stacking of the decks against ordinary people, the willingness to risk others' lives, the vicious totalitarian strain, and the suppression of dissent. And, perhaps most of all, the deep deep corruption of the teachers' unions and the school systems.

School choice is now being implemented across the country largely because of Randi Weingarten, head of the American Federation of Teachers. 

Over the past month, another stress test was done on our political and media ecosystem, and if you hadn't had your eyes open to how corrupt the media are, you have no excuse now. 

In the span of a month, we have gone from "Joe Biden is sharp as a tack" to "Kamala Harris was never the Border Czar." 

2024 makes 1984 look like an instruction manual. The mainstream media, big tech, the Democrat Party, and the Hollywood Elite are working overtime to rewrite history moment by moment. 

The word goes out and history is rewritten. 

Suddenly you see "fact checks" that insist that what was true--and repeated in the mainstream media--is now no longer true, and nobody ever said it. Never. Not true.

Border Czar? That's a "Right Wing talking point!" 

I have followed with fascination the editing war going on at Wikipedia. One moment Kamala was the Border Czar. The next, she wasn't, and all references to that fact are wiped. Then it reappears as a different editor replaces the changes. And so on.

It is a metaphor for the "reality" we live in, with facts blinking on and off at the whim of the storytellers. 

After the Monica Lewinski affair, I learned something disturbing: shamelessness is a superpower. A President of the United States could lie under oath and it simply wouldn't matter if he shrugged and said "Move on." I thought the affair was tawdry, but not impeachable. But lying under oath was still a big deal to me, but since Clinton stuck it out it became "old news."

It seems quaint now to worry about such niceties. Today and entire information apparatus is mobilized to completely reshape reality for the pleasure and benefit of a ruling clique. The level of contempt for you and me is infinite. The level of value given to our wishes or even our lives is zero. 

A big problem we have trying to convince people of how evil the Establishment and especially the mainstream media is is that most people cannot deal with the fact that people we have trusted are sociopaths willing to destroy anything to get what they want. 

It's like the people who got ripped off by Bernie Madoff who never could conceive that he was a crook. Even after he was caught, many of his clients thought it was a mistake. 

Not Bernie! He has been so good to me! 

Not only are there really sociopaths in the world, but most people in the Establishment and the mainstream media are sociopaths, and their desperation to retain power has given us a rare glimpse into how willing they are to stab us all in the back.

Their ONE JOB, we are told, is, to tell the truth without fear or favor, and we have witnessed in the span of weeks, and sometimes even minutes, complete reversals, memory-holing, lies, and gaslighting at a level unimaginable unless you realize that what you believed them to be was merely a mask. 

It is a con job, and you are the mark. 

Big Tech is currently tweaking the algorithms--YouTube is already pointing you to "fact checks" about Kamala, pushing propaganda on you, upvoting positive videos and downvoting negative ones to tweak what you see. 

Once you see the manipulation, you can't unsee it. 

Our elite sees ordinary Americans as about as valuable as lab rats. We have some utility for them, of course, and as long as we have value, they will treat us well. But if we ever get in the way of their desires, their ambitions, or even their kinks these days, they will do everything they can to crush us. 

It's clarifying to understand this, if not comforting.

Many people have seen the mask come off because of this bizarre turn of events. How many will grasp the significance and respond accordingly? 

I don't know. But it just may be enough to give us a coalition to take back our country.
