To gain total power, the establishment has to make freedom and truth "dangerous"

It's no mistake that certain talking points seem to be repeated ad nauseam by politicians and media talking heads until they become a part of the common public vernacular. For example, most of us in the Liberty Movement never heard the term "alt-right" in our lives until around 2015-2016. Leftist media and even Fox News on occasion bandied the label like a broken record without ever really defining it. Soon, every leftist on social media was using it as a pejorative for anyone who disagreed with them.

Much like the terms "extremist," "terrorist," "deplorable,"  "bigot" or "misogynist," "alt-right" was the new catch-all attack against people who refused to comply with the establishment narrative. The goal, obviously, is to isolate anyone who opposes their agenda and inoculate the public with prejudice.

The message: Some people on the political right are OK.  The people who follow our dictates and don't question our actions and motives. Others are very bad, dangerous and unhinged and might be capable of anything. We don't like those people. Be a good right-wing person, not an alt-right person. Anything they say is a lie designed to turn you to the dark side and radicalize you."

The source of these character attacks is often hard to pinpoint but can usually be traced back to coordinated corporate campaigns, proving that the mainstream media is not in competition, they are in collusion. The COVID pandemic response was a perfect example; every single corporate outlet and every major social media outlet was in lockstep on the narrative without question and without skepticism.

And if we follow the trail back even further, we will usually find that the media relies on information scripted by government agencies and globalist think tanks like the Imperial College of London or the World Economic Forum during covid, for example. The WEF's Event 201 "simulation" of a coronavirus pandemic, which was held only two months before the real thing happened, specifically discussed the need for coordinated information control and "flooding the zone" in social media with corporate sources to drown out any contrary data and viewpoints which they call "disinformation." Check out this video at the 9:00 mark.

We can see the direct consequences of this agenda today. Try to search for any information on COVID on YouTube and all you will get is thousands upon thousands of corporate media propaganda pieces. No alternatives. This kind of uniformity and centralization of messaging is not limited to crisis events, however. It also extends to what I would call "counterinsurgency" propaganda, also known as "4th Generation Warfare."

First, it's important to understand one vital fact when it comes to these tactics of isolation and demonization: It is a mindset that views the general population as the enemy, rather than a foreign government or military. Beyond that, it is an indirect reveal of who the establishment fears the most.

Conservatives, liberty activists and patriots are targeted because we are a threat to the power structure. If we weren't a danger to them, they would not waste their time, money and energy trying to tear us down. So, take that fact to heart. They hate you because they are afraid of you.

Second, their program of isolation is failing. Rather than shrinking into obscurity on the fringes of society, liberty groups (at least in the U.S.) are growing into the mainstream consciousness. Not only that, but every time the establishment oversteps and violates people's rights our influence grows. More people had their blinders removed in the first two years of the pandemic lockdowns than in the rest of the nearly 20 years I have been working within the alternative media. They are beginning to lose, and they know it.

Predictably, and according to basic Alinsky tactics, the establishment is trying to shift to new messages and new methods. The media has been beating Americans over the head the past year with the claim that certain information and certain even certain freedoms are in fact a "threat to our democracy." But what does this mean, exactly?

Well, it's an Orwellian perversion of a fundamental pillar of our society: "In order to protect your freedoms, we have to take them away. Or at least take them away from certain people that disagree with our ideology."

The "threat to democracy" argument has been used in everything from COVID vaccination, election skeptics, the takeover of Twitter by Elon Musk and the Jan. 6 protests. Now, we even have top political officials declaring that the release of previously restricted footage of the J6 event is a "threat to democracy." Video evidence proving that an "insurrection" never happened could bring down our country, according to these people.

The calls for Tucker Carlson to be removed from Fox News and his reports silenced have been rampant. The new catch-all phrase "threat to democracy" is being swung wildly like a baseball bat in an Apple store. They claim it's about maintaining faith in our election system, but really, it's about maintaining faith in the establishment message. They are being exposed as foolish. They are being exposed as liars. If this continues, they might even face retribution, and that is what they are really preparing for.

When we hear incessant arguments asserting that the examination of facts and evidence is the same as "insurrection" it is because the establishment does in fact fear insurrection. Or more accurately, they fear rebellion.

There has long been a theory within the Liberty Movement that globalists would seek to create national division to deliberately instigate a civil war. The notion assumes that the money elites would be able to control the outcome in their favor. I disagree. I think what they really wanted was a minor insurgency, a small revolt of people they could simply label domestic terrorists that would be easily put down while at the same time using the chaos as an excuse to enforce unconstitutional provisions.

What they are getting is something much bigger than I think they expected. This is why they backed off the COVID mandates and the vaccine passports. They realized the movement to oppose them is much larger than a mere fringe.

The attempt to categorize certain speech, certain information and certain liberties as "anti-democracy" is a desperate measure to herd a large enough percentage of the population into a camp of rationalized tyranny. They couldn't quite get enough people to support permanent medical authoritarianism, especially with the death rate of covid being so small, but maybe they can get a larger number of people to support greater control by appealing to their love of the democratic ideal?

Only people who are anti-freedom would want to rebel against a system based on democracy, right?

Except, our country is not a democracy and never was. We are supposed to be a Republic with individual rights protected regardless of the majority opinion. Beyond that, our system doesn't qualify as a democracy anyway because our system is controlled through centralized influence of public opinion. You cannot have a majority rule when the majority doesn't have access to factual information needed to make sound judgments.

The hypocrisy is evident. In order to "protect democracy" the elites claim that information must be controlled, and certain freedoms must be diminished. But in the process of instituting these controls, the information needed for a democracy to function is erased. All you have left afterward is technocratic oppression.

Freedom is not a threat to democracy. The truth is not a threat to our nation. Freedom and truth are only threats to tyrants. And if it becomes necessary to use truth and freedom to rebel, if it becomes necessary to destroy the corrupt systems tyrants have built, then so be it. That's how America started, and we can always start over again.

To truth and knowledge,

NOTE:  The REAL threat we face are from ‘progressive’ leftists!

 Dems distort reality at every turn. They despise our values, history & culture-they especially dislike our Bill of Rights & seem to ignore underlying causes of problems, applying 'feel good' band-aid 'cures' vs. reality.

Hard-working Americans hit hard by Biden’s inflation policies – prices skyrocket!

Practice self-reliance…

 

Not too long ago, two of my friends had their houses burn to the ground.

 

One friend lives in Arizona and the other in Alabama.

 

In both cases, the fire spread quickly and they tragically lost almost everything in the home.

 

This is why diversification is important when it comes to where you keep your survival food and other survival supplies.

 

For example, I keep my survival food in 3 different locations.

 

The first location is the obvious one – my house.

 

In my basement, I have several of the black totes (the kind you buy at Home Depot) filled with survival food pouches.

 

I can grab these totes and throw them in my truck if we need to evacuate the house quickly.

 

The second location where I store food is in a storage unit.

 

Remember, when it comes to storage units, if you live in a place where it gets brutally hot (Florida, Vegas, etc.) you want to get a climate-controlled unit.

 

In addition to food, I also have some guns and ammo and other supplies in my units.

This third place I keep my food is at my bug out location.

 

More specifically, in an insulated shipping container that doesn’t look like a shipping container when you step inside.

 

Where I live, it never gets too hot in the container so my food will stay just fine until I need it.

 

And actually, due to occasional laziness when I’m at the location, I do enjoy some survival food there instead of bringing food with me.

 

The bottom line is, I pray that I never have a fire or flood or other disaster, but Murphy is alive and well.

 

So, consider diversifying your survival food and other supplies.
