How to spot propaganda

I was quite impressed by this 36 minute video with Sharyl Attkisson as she discusses how the propaganda system works and how to spot it.  I think it is worth one's time.  In fact I think all propaganda needs to be recognized and rejected, not just that done by the left.  For example, "king of debt" Trump called Obama's economy "a big fat bubble" during his election run and then went on a massive propaganda spree after he got elected saying that it was the greatest economy ever.  No, this is not the greatest economy ever.  It is the biggest economic bubble ever.  It is the biggest systemic threat to the USA as a going concern ever.  Has it brought a lot of prosperity??  Hell, yes.  

But it is unsustainable prosperity. It is like the beautiful spirit from the Ark of the Covenant which the Germans released in this clip from the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" which then turns into an ugly demon of death.

 

 

Before he joined the federal reserve, Alan Greenspan proclaimed fake money (i.e. fiat currency) to be "the shabby secret of the welfare statists".   If you have not read that short essay lately you must refresh your mind with it at your soonest convenience.  In summary, Greenspan noted that:

• Stripped of its academic jargon, the welfare state is nothing more than a mechanism by which governments confiscate the wealth of the productive members of a society to support a wide variety of welfare schemes. A substantial part of the confiscation is effected by taxation. But the welfare statists were quick to recognize that if they wished to retain political power, the amount of taxation had to be limited and they had to resort to programs of massive deficit spending, i.e., they had to borrow money, by issuing government bonds, to finance welfare expenditures on a large scale. 
•  In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods. The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves.
• This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard.

Of course after he flipped over as a member of the federal reserve to side with the very statists that he had derided earlier, all of this honesty stopped and then Greenspan began his own little propaganda program that became known as fed speak or greenspeak.

Something is either true or it is not.  The truth should be spoken boldly, not cowering for fear of what others might think.  Wise people will reject false ideologies no matter who puts them out.

Arkansas will not comply

Arkansas is leading the way in giving the middle finger to the joke biden gun grabbers.  The headlines read that the Arkansas state senate passed a bill that bans the enforcement of federal gun control laws.

“All acts, law, orders, rules, and regulations of the United States Government, whether past, present, or future, that infringe on the people’s right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and Arkansas Constitution, Article 2, [Section] 5, are invalid in this state, shall not be recognized by this state, are specifically rejected by this state, and shall be considered null and void and of no effect in this state,” according to the text of the bill.

The measure will prohibit any law enforcement agencies in Arkansas from cooperating with federal officials to enforce federal gun laws that go in conflict with the rights provided in the Arkansas Constitution, according to Arkansas Online. Some state lawmakers expressed a worry that President Joe Biden would ramp up gun-control measures. 

Way to go Arkansas (or "RKansas" as my grandad used to call it).  Joke Biden and the socialists need to be stopped in their attempts to do an end-around on the 2nd amendment.  

Whether you like guns or hate them or simply don't understand them, one thing has been made very clear to us by history: if you don't own guns or are not willing to use them to stand up for what is right then you will eventually be made a refugee.  It is as simple as that.  I don't just mean political or religious refugee but also economic.  

Thinking people must ask WHY are all these people coming from their home countries, which are in fact lovely places geographically, to the borders of the US looking for a better way of life?  Are these all bad people looking to do harm to the US?  Certainly not.  Most are simply hapless sheeple who either could not or did not take up arms in their own countries to avoid being chased off their ancestral lands by those who did have arms (their corrupt governments, drug warlords, etc.).   

If a person is born into a gunless society they are at a very huge disadvantage and so I find it difficult to be very hard on them.  It's tough enough to stand up to aggressive authority in a country where guns flow like water and wine.  But in a gunless society even the few brave patriots that might exists have a difficult time finding guns and ammo at all.  And what they do find will be old junk, hardly worth risking your life with.

And so while I do not want all these refugees in my country, I find it hard to judge them too harshly.  But for those in the USA who want to remove the weapons of self defense from the hands of home grown patriots I have nothing but disdain, piss, vinegar and complete disrespect.  They have NO idea how important private gun ownership is toward keeping government overreach and outright tyranny in check.  They look at 200 or 300 deaths per year from long guns in the US as this big thing that requires gun confiscation from non crazy people while they happily line up and sign up for the covid shot which has killed nearly 1000 people over the past year in the US alone.

When dealing with 330,000,000 people we have to accept that anything you do is going to result in some deaths.  That's just the way life is.  Unless we all want to have to worry about becoming refugees from our homelands in the future, powerful guns and ammo must remain in the hands of the people. Not for hunting and recreational shooting but for self defense against tyrannical government gone wild.

Now think about it for a second.  Those same flaming liberals here in the US which call out China for abusing the Uighurs and Falun Gong in all sorts of reprehensible ways including forced slave labor and as organ harvesting victims refuse to recognize that the only reason the CCP can get away with this is that the Uighurs have no guns and ammo to fight back with.

Imagine that one night a group of military men with guns comes for you and your family.  You know what they are there for because other families have met the same fate in recent months.  Your family all had unrequested medical exams last year in which your blood type, dna samples, eye color, physical size and everything else was captured and cataloged. You know they did not do this for your benefit because it cost you nothing and you had no choice in it.  

Since then you have been cowered in a corner, trying to keep your heads down hoping beyond hope that they system will overlook you somehow.  But now the men with guns and harsh tones of voice have arrived for you and your family.  If you had some way to stop them you would. If you knew you would die trying to save your family, you would.  But they all have guns and you have jack fucking shit.  And so, crying and screaming, you and your family go into the back of the truck and head to the organ redistribution center.  After all, some elite piece of shit needs a kidney and the doctors are willing to see which member of your family has the most compatible organ, even if it means cutting all of your kidneys out and putting them side by side on a table.

This is the kind of thing that history has shown is not only possible but probable for those who do not have the means to defend themselves.  Let's see, if I were an elite piece of shit that saw other humans and nothing more than a resource to do with what I wanted, what would I do with an unarmed, defenseless underclass resource?

• Slavery
• Sex crimes/prostitution
• Sacrifice to my Satanic master 
• Elite entertainment/blood sport
  
• Organ harvesting
• Medical experimentation and the simple joy of learning at someone else's expense
  
• Subjects to test the efficacy of bio and chemo weapons

I just made this list up tying as quickly as I could but now that I stop to review it, every single fucking one of these things has happened in the past and many are happening right now.  Not one of these listed items is without simple referenced evidence if not outright proof.  Slavery, Sex crimes, prostitution are beyond obvious.  Satanic abuse is a matter of eye-rolling for stupid people but anyone who wants to know if it is real can find the truth hiding in plain sight.

By the way, nothing is ever true until there is an official denial by a liberal source.  Why is NYTimes still talking down satanic activities?

Elite blood sport: see the Romans.  Well documented. 

Organ harvesting: See the CCP today.  And where did Steve Jobs' emergency liver really come from, anyway?  Oh that's right, we don't want to talk about that...

Medical experimentation: well documented Nazi activity.  Any little thing that they were curious about, including who would take longer to starve to death between an overweight person and a thin person (see the book, "Medical Block Buchenwald"), was conducted as an official experiment under the Nazi regime at both the individual level in concentration camps and at the ghetto level.

Even the US army used unsuspecting (and therefore defenseless) Americans as germ warfare test subjects in the 1970s.

It is unfortunately the nature of humans, and our ultimate undoing that absolute power corrupts absolutely.  

 

"The presence of guns in the hands of people ensures that power is always relative and never absolute."
