Read Huxley as college freshman. I finished it sitting on the campus library...in dinosaur times: NOTHING digital. Print and, what was that dumb machine called? Everything available...was THERE. And, on finishing it, I remember sitting there a l o n g time thinking about the book with a full range of emotions. Reading The Ugly American in high school was another pivotal moment for me. The power of literature. The power of WORDS.
Orwell stole the book from jack London who wrote THE IRON HEEL about 40 years before Orwell. Orwell did publicly acknowledge that jack Londons brilliant dystopian masterpiece was an influence. It's funny nobody is ever familiar with it. Orwell was mr nobody but jack London was one of the most famous people in the world, so you can imagine the influence he had... In my personal opinion, and I know a lot about it, the super rich burned down jack London house and murdered him for The Iron Heel and other socialist writings. London was a prominent socialist, and it was a powerful movement back in those days... Nowadays the jbankerfolk have total control, of our minds, and our lives. They will have their totalitarian JEW WORLD ORDER Whether we like it or not. https://www.miftah.org/Doc/Articles/nov21a2k1.html
Well said Caitlin. I do not think that the filthy little thieving, genocidal state of Israel will survive the backlash from its genocide and tsunami of lies surrounding the Oct. 7 righteous resistance by the Palestinians against their illegal occupation and oppression. The question, of course, is how many Palestinians will Israel and the US succeed in murdering before those rogue, criminal states are defeated. I am a US citizen who is sickened and disgusted by the fact that my Country is PRIMARILY responsible for this genocide. I use the word PRIMARILY because the tiny filthy state of Israel could not carry out the genocide without the full support and participation in the genocide by the US. I would love to see every one of the politicians in the US and Israel who has supported, and thereby enabled, this genocide be convicted of genocide an hung by the neck until dead. That is the fate which the US said is just during the Nuremberg Trials. I agree and would love to see that standard applied to the ongoing crimes which have been committed, and continue to be committed by the US and Israel in Palestine. I have lost all respect for my Country and loathe and despise every politician, government employee (whether agency head or low ranking clerk) and every other person in our Country who supports this ongoing genocide. No decent person does so.
Israel is a world-class killing machine. It has assassins all over the world—including in the United States. It has the money, technology, transportation networks, munitions and political connections necessary to successfully plan, implement and escape detection of an assassination with ease.
Max Blumenthall reports that White House insiders who know Donald Trump say that Trump himself is very frightened of what Netanyahu would do to him if he does not toe the Israeli line.
Not Surprised, the guy with bone spurs couldn't even allow him self to be called up in peace time -- well, for other countries, the US seems always to be looking for someone to fight with. Maybe they would be less so if not so far removed from most other countries.
"You can’t take off the Mickey Mouse mask, show the kids the snarling Freddy Krueger face underneath it, and then put the mask on and hope they start calling you Mickey again."
There has been no mention of the West Bank where Israel is stealing land and leaving many of the 3 million Palestinians that try to live peacefully there homeless! There are some 12,000 Palestinians in Israeli prisons where they are tortured and most receive no trial. No one talks about the people in the West Bank, who tried to live peacefully and had nothing to do with Hamas attack or October 7. Israel is murdering in West Bank too.
Mary Palermo, I appreciate your point but the West Bank had a funny way of " tried to live peacefully... ". They were "keeping the peace" for Israel. In other words keeping the resistance under harsh control, acting as a policeman for Israel. Abbas was just a powerless puppet.
I so hope you are correct 🤞. I heard (Max Blumenthal) that C. Kirk was financed HUGELY by Zionists and that those money bags got triggered when the racist Charlie apparently started questioning the Zionist line re Gaza. Don't know the facts for sure, but Blumenthal's "take" is worth a look. Thanks again for the work you do.
CJ>>"It just doesn’t work. Psychological manipulation only goes so far. There’s only so much that clever language can do to decouple someone’s mind from their direct experience of material reality."
I hope you're right Caitlin. As the quote purportedly from Einstein goes -> "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
Just the thought is preposterous. Utterly preposterous! Not in my lifetime. With Germany in the 1930s-40s was the excuse, had the world known ... What's the excuse for Israel? My Internet was down?
Actually, I don’t think that is what they think. At this point, the global power structure of the west doesn’t care what people think. In each of the countries providing the most support for Israel’s slaughter of Palestinians the support of that policy is quite low. Nonetheless, the political leaders are continuing to ignore the public will and do whatever they damn well please.
If you look at the long-term trend line, the picture is quite clear. During the Vietnam war, the US leaders had the “decency“ to lie to the public. Robert McNamara later went on what was dubbed the “Apology Tour“ expressing his remorse for having lied to the country. Similarly, when the My Lai Massacre was found out, the military had the “good sense” to quickly identify and prosecute a scapegoat. This allowed them to describe the incident as the result of a single rogue officer, not military policy. Of course, over time, it has become well known that this kind of action was indeed military policy.
Fast forward to 2003, GWB, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell and others went to great lengths to lie about why we were invading and occupying Iraq. I mean, come on, they couldn’t just come right out and say “We are invading and occupying Iraq so that we can steal their oil and give it to major oil companies.” But notice, except for a slip of the tongue, there has been no admission of the falsity of their claims.
Then move on to Afghanistan and Abu Ghrab prison. Here the U.S. military did some truly heinous things, yet the government didn’t even acknowledge it.
Finally, we come to Israel and Palestine. All US political “leaders” express their full-throated support of Israel’s slaughter of Palestinians to enable Israel to steal their land and other resources
The point is they are no longer bothering with the lies about what they are doing. They are just saying “We are doing this because we have to. And we don’t care what you, “the public” say about it.” In other words, tough shit.
This is now the political strategy of the ruling elites: “We are going to do whatever TF we want to do and we don’t give a shit what you say, think or feel.” Think about your favorite billionaire - Musk, Bezos, Ellison, Buffet, Waltons, Koch, Thiel, Gates, Ackerman, etc. Now ask yourself, do you think ANY of them care what you say, think or feel? If it took you more than one second to realize the answer is NO, then you should go back to playing with your Barbie or GI Joe dolls.
Propaganda loses its efficacy over years but only once the targets recognize that they are targeted. But those fortunate enough to be liberated by the truth need to live that truth and leave evidence for future generations. Life has no arrival date.
Caitlin is right. The principle applies that "you can fool some people all the time and all the people for a long time, but you can't fool everyone all the time." With the attacks of October 7, 2023, facilitated by Netanyahu, who knew and kept the information secret from the Israeli intelligence services (Mossad, Aman, Shabak and Unit 8200), Hamas has opened an irreparable breach in the truth of a state born from terrorism and founded on terrorism to dominate the world. Not only that. The truth about Israel has led many people to learn about the true origins of Judaism, its deviations, the origins of the idea of the transcendent, and therefore of all religions founded on fear, hope, and the unproven. And also about the goals and power of those who created Israel and, through the banking system, control the money with which they want to dominate the world. There will be no going back, and nothing will ever be the same again.
What I have also recently noticed is much more pro-Israel trolling. Wonder how much thosec trolls are being paid?
yep, the hasbara is back on full court press
Up to $7,000 per post has been widely reported. They sure don't mind spending our money!
I suspect a lot of those trolls are are bots. I just block, never respond, but agree they are more prolific of late.
I suspect they are bots. I find If I sympathetically suggest they get checked for a brain injury, they just go away.
LOTS and LOTS of money...as in, you could live on it?
They are putting in money with the help of US
Nicolas looks like a poster child for hitler youth.
I’m sure he and is Caucasian “influencers “ will be preaching to a choir.
But it won’t influence the millions worldwide who
see through their game.
Do they really think we’re stupid?
We need to move George Orwell’s book to the non fiction section.
I always considerd "1984" to be non-fiction, along with Huxley's "Brave New World". These were WARNINGS that humans failed to heed.
Read Huxley as college freshman. I finished it sitting on the campus library...in dinosaur times: NOTHING digital. Print and, what was that dumb machine called? Everything available...was THERE. And, on finishing it, I remember sitting there a l o n g time thinking about the book with a full range of emotions. Reading The Ugly American in high school was another pivotal moment for me.

A Handmaiden's Tale by Margaret Atwood is another book that predicted what is happening today.
👍
A microfiche? Yup... Dating myself I know!
I read The doors of Perception, when I was 13, my grandfather gave it to me.
Bumper sticker from around 2004:
"1984 was supposed to be fiction, not a manual."
That was exactly what I thought 😂

Israel Is a World Class Killing Machine
Will Candace Owens be Israel’s next victim?
Chuck Baldwin explains:

Ha ha ha! That sums it up.

Couldn’t help but laugh at Zionists reading this! Fucking amazing. Can’t wait for Israel to fall and with it the US as well.

They’re also saying that anyone that has the audacity to criticize them is committing a crime.
Good point, but actually that has been a constant, at least in the U.S., since, well, forever.
Propaganda loses its efficacy over years but only once the targets recognize that they are targeted. But those fortunate enough to be liberated by the truth need to live that truth and leave evidence for future generations. Life has no arrival date.
My view will not change of Isreal and its Jewish people who and are and will always be blood sucking killing parsites,
Caitlin, I've been subscribed to you for years. I've just had to resubscribe to comment. What's substack up to?
