Listen to a reading of this article: Western analysts spent years warning that western actions would provoke a war in Ukraine, westerners spent four years being propagandized into hating Russia, then Russia invades and now western imperialists say the war is advancing US interests. But remember: it was an "unprovoked invasion".
"In the west we think we're free because we can do what we want, not seeing that our rulers control what it is we will want to do."
What makes it even worse is that almost no one will ever even know the names of the people ultimately pulling the levers. Deposing every Biden that comes along is playing whack-a-mole with decoy targets. At least in an olden-days monarchy people at least knew who was controlling their fates, for good or ill.
Tucker Carlson routinely interviews authentic independent minded guests that counter establishment narratives such as Jimmy Dore, Aaron Mate, Glenn Greenwald, Max Blumenthal, Michael Tracy, Colonel Douglas MacGregor, Jeffrey Sachs, Jackson Hinkle, etc. That seems very dangerous for controlled opposition.
"Times change" you know. The word of the United States has to be "flexible." That's a euphemism for liars. Thing about lies, people don't like being lied to. Nations don't like being lied to. Wars start over nations lying to each other.
Former Pres. George W Bush pranked into admitting the US lied to Russia about putting a hostile nation on her most fragile border. The Narrative collapses.
"Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behaviour and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong."

Someone asked on a thread, if inflation is so bad, why are peoples still consuming so much unessential crap? Perhaps generations insanely programmed to see consumption, owning the coolest new crap and looking the trendiest way, as a necessity to being worthy of social acceptance and yes, love.
Many just can't stop and have no idea why. As they continue on in debt, with 7 year car loans and 24% CC rates. It was in the 60's, when the first CC's arrived, that an NYU prof my bro had, said "Unsecured credit will bring the destruction of the middle class."
And then they poured on more of it every chance they got. The biggie, college loans. Unsecured by anything but Joe Biden, making them inescapable under bankruptcy. Just a hint: There's no longer a viable path using this system to reform itself and no, the revolution ain't happening either. Consider things will get worse and find allies to survive it as best you can.
"Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts...perhaps the fear of a loss of power."
-John Steinbeck
People who can get enough out of life via loving relationships, creativity, art and beauty and simply enjoying what there is in this world to appreciate, who thrive on learning and appreciate the joy of giving others the benefit of our experience, can never compete with those for whom there can never be enough.
Those who want power and aggrandizement, the avaricious who wish to show that they're at the top of the hill, think that everybody else who can get to the top of the hill, is like them. In this context, they're likely correct. And they're desperate to stay there, because they know that if they had their way, they'd do terrible things to permanently best their competitors.
Never mind all the rest of us, who do ok if not deprived of life's essentials, who only wish to live in mutually sustained, supportive communities. We don't even count. To the power seekers, we're just incidental to their score.
If you'd like to read the hidden history of the world since WWII, I recommend "The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America's Secret Government" by David Talbot.
"Few clever humans who understand manipulation better than the rest of us". It was reading The Rape Of The Mind, a few years ago, that really bought this home to me. I was literally laughing as I was witnessing the very same tactics in the Covid BS as I was readingI, a book written 70 years before. People don't generally do as they are told, they do as they are sold. Thanks again Caitlin, you seem to hit the 🎯 every single time.
The narrative is falling apart. Cant sell us the illusion of fiat currency, cant sell us the big nothing burgers, the corporate messages have been exposed. Medicine has been exposed.
Time for a reset. We will just kill off a few billion and start over. When this fight goes down it is going to be a catastrophe.
Doesn't really matter, the entire planet has been poisoned with plastic and silicone and teflon. It is just fucked one way or another.
Where does that crap go when it breaks down? It is still there but now you can't see it and you are drinking it and eating it.
Addressed to the "keep voting for political systems that don't do anything for us": I told people in 2020 to STOP VOTING, and I got a response from a guy who bleated, " What will happen to us if we stop voting?" I told him that he needed to ask himself instead, "What will happen to THEM if we stop voting?"
"Every few years the right produces a billionaire with extensive ties to the US deep state who poses as a populist hero who is fighting the deep state. Before it was Trump. Now it's Musk. Later on it'll be someone else. But it's just a show to make it look like someone's fighting." The statement seems to suggest they are hypocrites, and she identifies no one on the left. Not Gates or Soros, also billionaires and populist heroes. Yes Trump is a billionaire and I suppose to many has become a populist hero, but too bad she didn't mention that during his presidency the deep state was complicit with the democrats in trying to remove him from office. Now Musk is a multi-billionaire and Johnston by her statement makes him just another populist hero due to his enormous wealth, which has a very negative, judgmental quality, and she says this even though he and Matt Taibbi are sincerely trying to find out whether the deep state used their influence on Twitter to make sure Hunter Biden's lap top story was seen as no more then Russian propaganda. I like Musk's "posing." I like his acknowledgement of the dangers of climate change as well. Too bad people don't practice what they preach.
I don't know, if Trump is part of the Establishment, as Caitlyn claims, they sure have a funny way of showing it. It all started with Russiagate, which Hillary knew was a nothingburger. All the powers-that-be got together to get him out of office, one way or another. They are now trying vainly to convict him of something, anything, and put him in prison. They even rigged an election to get him out after one term and select an old senile corrupt neocon to replace him, who is so incompetent that his neocon infested admin., refusing all negotiations with Russia, has led the world to the brink of nuclear apocalypse. Trump, meanwhile, has been calling for negotiations and an end to the war and for months. I hope all those Biden voters are happy now.
Now, the latest. I've heard that US-led NATO is considering resuming its war against Serbia in order to force the Russians into diverting military resources away from Ukraine to defend their longtime ally. Stay tuned. I'd say Happy New Year, except that next year promises to be even worse.
You’re 100% over the target here CJ. When things kicked off in Ukraine early this year, I started looking into the background leading up to it and watched Oliver Stone’s 2016 film ‘Ukraine on Fire’. That told me all I needed to know. “Unprovoked” my arse...
And your 2nd part about exiting the matrix is also spot on. There are soooo many depths and layers to the rabbit holes, both the external ones and internal. Pretty exhausting.
Great article! And HNY from the belly of the beast!

“Give them a hero to clap along with and they won't take up the fight for themselves.”
This is so key. Thank you for your work, Caitlin.

Die a fiery death or poisoned by plastics.
The marvels of an "advanced civilization".

So true. I call it the Imaginarium. We beat them by non-participation, and using their own tools against them.
It is like the "reality" we are told is one big wrestling match. All show.
I find it amazing how the universe works. I spent the last week watching David Ickes “Escaping the Matrix” and now this...
you hit the nail on the head again. Thank you.
Perhaps you will explore this even further in future articles.
I appreciate your willingness to expand minds.

Great article! And HNY from the belly of the beast!
Let's awaken and overthrow our oppressors and build that beautiful world together!
Thanks, Caitlin, for your grounded insights. A Happy New Year to you all. Let's make 2023 one of Revolution of hearts, minds, and souls!
