The Bolsheviks
began as a small, violent minority of communists.
But they quickly grew their support among the mass population of Russian peasants.
And the reason they were able to accomplish their goal is the same reason why the government, the corporate press, Hollywood, Universities, and radical leftist movements like BLM can gain public support for their insane ideas and policies.
Whether it’s mass mask wearing, mass denunciation of “whiteness”, mass acceptance of police state lockdowns…
...it all hinges on one thing missing from the minds of the general public.
This secret can be found in one of the first actions taken by Lenin after seizing power.
Lenin and his Red Guards proclaimed Soviet rule at the end of 1917, and Lenin became the first dictator of the first Marxist State in history.
At the time, most of the peasant society in Russia was illiterate.
Lenin knew he had to gain the support of the peasants if he hoped to maintain his new rulership.
So he created the People’s Commissariat of Enlightenment and in 1919, sent out trained instructors into the countryside to create a network of literacy centers.
The plan was simple:
Teach peasants to be literate and inundate them with Bolshevik ideology and literature.
This morphed into its own department, called the Department for Agitation and Propaganda in the early 1920s.
Oral-agitation groups were sent around the country to persuade ex-tsarist soldiers to join the Red Army.
Agitational trains and ships were sent deep into remote parts of Russia carrying leaflets, posters, and other forms of propaganda for the peasants who lived far from any major cities.
The Bolsheviks even created plays, films, and other art forms that were explicitly political and pro-communist.
All of this came to be known as “Agitprop.”
Fidel Castro also undertook a massive literacy campaign in Cuba.
Prominent (dishonest) leftists like Michael Moore even point to Cuban literacy rates as an example of socialist success.
When, in fact, Castro used literacy to spread propaganda and gain support for his regime. Nothing more.
He wasn’t actually interested in uplifting the minds of his people.
And neither were the communists in Russia.
But why did it work?
The same reason propaganda peddled by the corporate press and government work.
Because literacy is slavery…
WITHOUT critical thinking.
Neither the Bolsheviks, nor the Cuban socialists, nor American public schools for that matter, teach people how to think and reason in any meaningful sense.
You can be literate and still be hopelessly mentally enslaved if you don’t know how to critically think and analyze the information being crammed into your head
Most people can comprehend what the technocrats in the CDC and WHO say…
But they don’t know how to THINK about what they hear.
They simply trust.
Believe.
And OBEY.
That’s why we call these types of people “sheep” or “NPCs.”

That’s why we call these types of people “sheep” or “NPCs.”
They don’t have a mind of their own - they’ve abdicated their minds to the shepherds on TV, in their political party, and the mobs on the streets.
The antidote to mental slavery isn’t mere literacy…
It’s critical thinking and principled action.
Most people are pawns in a grand chess game that they don’t realize is being played with their lives.
You recognize the rigged game being played against you.
You can spot the propaganda.
And unlike the unthinking herd, you have an opportunity to do something about it.
The Counter Markets Newsletter is an antidote to the pervasive disease of propaganda infecting the minds of so many worldwide.
There are over 3 dozen issues fully loaded with techniques, tactics, strategies, and methods for OPTING OUT of the rigged system you find yourself trapped in.
It requires literacy to consume...
But it demands critical thinking to apply what we teach intelligently and consistently in your life.
By the way, these emails you get from me are a form of propaganda.
All advertising is.
But my goal isn’t to persuade you to follow and comply.
It’s to reveal hidden paths to self-liberation that NO ONE else is telling you about.
And as the saying goes, “I can only show you the door...”
While the rest of the world is endlessly propagandized into puppets for corporate and State interests…
You can hop off the rigged game board and set up your own system for better health, more wealth, and increased liberty.
The first step is opening the door and seeing what’s inside:

Must-listen interview with human civilization expert (and historian) Fred Markert. This is one of the most important interviews you'll hear all year.
Watch this interview and you'll learn why America (and Western
civilization) is in the last stage of decline and about to plunge into
full-blown collapse. There's only one way America can be saved, but that narrow
path doesn't seem likely.
You need to see this interview in order to understand the
structure and timing of the imminent collapse of the world as we know it.

Panic buying has slowed, and stores have adjusted hours to allow
employees time to clean and re-stock shelves. Yet the signs on store shelves that ask customers to
limit purchases of toilet paper, cleaning supplies, and certain foods remain as
a stark reminder of recent shortages.
Now, with cases of COVID-19 spiking
in many parts of the country, a troubled economy, and civil unrest that likely
will continue through election time, we are learning that shortages may become
a fact of life. Our nation’s supply chain continues to be vulnerable to
disruptions that may come in waves, just like the virus itself.
We can learn from some of the
lessons of early pandemic buying. Did you build up the recommended 14-day
quarantine supply of essentials back in March? If so, it is time to restock
while you still can. Focus on foods and supplies that you usually use. Just
make sure you have enough to last for several weeks...

Many preppers have no clue on how to build a serious stockpile. And I'm
not just talking about the ones who buy pre-packed survival food or
done-for-you first aid kits...
Many advanced preppers make some huge mistakes when it comes to their stockpile. From choosing the wrong gear to improper packaging and storage of their food, these mistakes could cost you your life post-collapse.
My friend Dan Sullivan is an old timer in the survival community. He has made an eye-opening video on the subject to set things straight:
If you don't
want to spend
thousands of dollars on food, water, tools, gear and
medicine, you have to learn to do it right. Listen to what Dan has to
say, avoid these costly stockpiling mistakes and take your stockpile to the next level:
