The narrative has been spun so hard that I'm dizzy with disgust.

Meanwhile, horrific murders are explained away by highly-paid apologists. This feeds into human tendency to turn away from unbearable suffering and smoothly distance ourselves from uncomfortable complicity.

For those who've been blind and woke up - now you know how those who saw back in 1930s in Germany and Europe felt like.

The official narrative wants us to believe in the "rules based world order" formulated by the US special interests to benefit the closed cabal of imperialists who operate under the sobriquet of "Western Democracy". That it is a farce is a given, but that a majority of the public buys into it is a tragedy.

I was just watching a hollywood crime drama production where they had drugs with Syrian symbols on it making it appear the mafia was buying drugs from syria.. Its all drama depictions but its well known and documented that the CIA is in Hollywood and has whole departments dedicated to manipulation of public perceptions through subtle and subliminal mind control techniques..

I have been in and around the business for many years and have seen and heard things that corroborate this.. Including having someone tell me that they purposefully ask to have those types of things inserted into story when they have no other relevance other than to create an image of some idea they want to insert into the public consciousness.. They seem like innocuous things as one offs but cumulatively they add up to warping people's perceptions of reality to use their empathy and outrage against them to twist the narratives to the agenda of the state and make the political lies they are than told about our so called "enemies" seem much more plausible to the easily swayed..

I have seen this in the build up of every single western led war where they start to demonize a group or country in the cross hairs far before any official announcement.. Its called priming the well (in the con artists terms) ,, it happens far enough in advance that its not noticed as permeation into people's minds. This is where you get so many in the western public suffering from Russian xenophobia and Putin bogyman syndrome. So that they never push back against the shadow states MIC agenda

There has been mass atrocity after mass atrocity happening for the past 50 years or so. They are getting worse and the lies are getting bigger. Maybe (hopefully?) people are believing them less. It is difficult to believe anything from mass media, politicians or anyone any more. This most recent mass atrocity is right up there with the worst. It is hard to stomach, painful to think about and especially painful and sad to think that it is "our side" committing it.

"...this leaves us living in two worlds: the real world and the narrative world."

So many enjoy living in the imaginary world of narrative spin. I guess it's just easier for them not to think for themselves. And yet, these harsh statistics and heart-breaking photos of dead children killed with US made bombs seem to jar that imaginary world a little too much, breaking it like a glass jar falling off a tall shelf. We're going to see a lot "cracked souls" in the coming months as more and more people come to realize that they have been cheering on a genocide with all the enthusiasm they usually display at sports events.

We actually live inside the Dystopian narrative titled 1984. I have seen this real life narrative unfold long before the actual date 1984 through today. The author Orwell remembering is own and his wife's experience in the war of 1939/45 working in London for their Propaganda House , and it is in essence simple. Take over all of the widely published media and pretend that you haven't. Then replace reportage of actual events with similar sounding one which soothes your media readers and encourage then to believe and act on these mainstream lies. Where the events are too big and too evil to downplay distort them until they just sounds a bit bad but your government is doing all that it can t bring them to an end. It's called controlled democracy and it works fine. No need for revolutions here. Now go back to sleep and wait for the next 'news' bulletin.

“Question the dominant paradigm! Interrupt the official narrative!”

Fifty years from now it will be noted the West was led over a cliff by totally corrupt and demented political and economic elites, meanwhile the rest of the world will have moved on to better times. Forgetting the West is only 13% of world's population the controlled narrative was a bottomless boat and the real world prevailed.

The truth is so horribly terrible that to preserve one’s sanity often leads to a belief in the narrative. Otherwise all is lost and chaos follows. Some need to believe we are always the good guys.

And then there is the belief that all of history has dominant civilizations, the alpha, the apex predator, and this is normal, while it lasts.

In my lap I do not hold a book of Grimm’s fairy tales. Instead I hold a mirror. And I see truth and the need for change.

"This is pretty cool because the CIA is working with CNN.

Think about that, ladies and gentlemen, I just told you that the CIA is working with CNN to do a documentary that's designed to shape the opinion of the American people." -

Have you heard of the mainstream media propaganda complex?

Most likely you have heard of the military industrial complex.

Many now are awakening to the pharmaceutical medical industrial complex.

The mainstream media propaganda complex is the voice for the military industrial complex and pharmaceutical medical industrial complex.

CIA controlled Google and Wikipedia are part of the mainstream media propaganda complex.

When you see this death symbol, promoted as the 'peace symbol', by the mainstream media propaganda complex, turn this symbol upside down.

Don't let your enemies deceive you.

They want and promote death and destruction, from bombs and needles, they even lie with their symbols.

They know the power of symbols, do you?

Knowledge is power and the correct formation of life.

My photo image is the correct peace symbol. Google and Wikipedia promote the death symbol.

Israel, man, just like the JFK Murder Incorporated CIA operation:

Many Palestinians viewed the Oslo Accords as an act of capitulation since Arafat abandoned Palestinian demands for their own state, and did not press for Palestinians’ right of return (of those expelled in the 1948 Nakba) and the release of Palestinian political prisoners.[1]

The majority of the Jews in Israel opposed Oslo II. It was ratified by the Knesset on October 6, 1995 by one vote, with the support of the Arab parties. Rabin would be murdered one month later. Hundreds of thousands of Israelis demonstrated against the Accords while Arab terror attacks continued unabated.

Some historians believe that “if Rabin had lived, he surely would have won the 1996 election and the peace process would have been advanced.”[2] Rabin’s daughter Dalia, however, has suggested that Rabin was close to calling off the Oslo process prior to his death and was considering “doing a U-turn, a reverse on our side. After all, he was someone for whom the national security of the state was sacrosanct and above all.”[3]

Rabin had a background as more of a warmonger than peacemaker, having been the chief of staff of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) during the 6-day war and Defense Minister during the first Intifada in the late 1980s when he ordered Israeli soldiers to “break the bones ”of Palestinian protesters.”[4] When a U.S. State Department official tried to get Rabin to meet with the Syrian Foreign Minister at the UN to withdraw from the Golan Heights two weeks before his assassination, Rabin called him a “motherfucker.”

How many children died? a couple of thousands? Wake me up again, when we reached the half million mark.... *sarcasm off*

And who here does not remember when they were 5 months old, sucking your mamas breasts and thinking "Oh those fucking Jews! Hate them! Or the Chinese, those Bastards! And don't get me started on Russians! Or Blacks!". No wonder the Israeli government tries to kill as many of those anti-Semitic baby terrorists as they can! *sarcasm off... for sure now*

"... because we live in a civilization that is dominated by narrative control." Thanks to today's newsletter I discovered this other gem of Caitlin https://caityjohnstone.medium.com/society-is-made-of-narrative-realizing-this-is-awakening-from-the-matrix-787c7e2539ae. Written in 2018! That's before the Great Covid Scare Narrative. How remarkably up to date it sounds. Thank you, Caitlin.
