Regime Change The Media: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

America this is serious: if you re-elect Donald Trump, you will be trapped in a fascist dystopian oligarchy which will keep robbing you of your rights and wellbeing for the benefit of the powerful and the wealthy.

And it gets even worse: these things will also be true if you elect Joe Biden.

People often ask me for suggestions on how they can learn to understand the world better. "Here is a link" to an article full of tips on how to punch through the obfuscations of propaganda and make sense of things, and "here is a link" to a Twitter list of my favorite news-gatherers and dot-connecters which you can bookmark and scroll through daily. Those should get you started.

Mainstream media reporters have a much higher body count than all serial killers and terrorist organizations combined. They do not deserve respect, and their institutions should not exist.

You are infinitely more qualified to report the news than all the scumbags in the mass media who are paid by billionaires to parrot government lies. I mean that 100 percent literally. If you are not being paid by the wealthy to lie to the public, you are more qualified to report the news than those who are. It does not matter if all you have is a smartphone and a Twitter account; you are set up to be a better news reporter than them.

You know all that space mass media reporters take up in societys awareness proclaiming what is true and what is going on in the world?

That is your space. They usurped it. Take it back from them. The MSM have betrayed humanity to an unforgivable extent. We must become the media.

Mainstream media opinion segments are toxic and should not exist.

Not because expression of opinion is wrong but because they only ever platform (at most) two mainstream ideological positions arguing over the specifics of how, not if, the agendas of oligarchs and government agencies should be advanced.

Mass media "news" segments tell you what to think. Mass media "opinion" segments tell you how to think. It is a complete training program.

Mass media "news" parrots government lies about what is happening in the world and only gives you information which benefits establishment power structures, then mass media "opinion" segments train you on how to incorporate that extremely distorted information into your ideological belief system.

There is basically only ever one international news story: "Globe-spanning United States-centralized empire tries to grow larger by absorbing more countries, and those countries resist." All news about global politics is just different manifestations of that one story, seen from different angles.

There is little or no relation between what the mass media direct people to care about and what actually matters. If you get all worked up about the Hot Topic of the Day like everyone else you are usually just clapping along with a plutocratic puppet show made for stunted children.

The last few days I have been tripping harder and harder on how bizarre and immoral and freakish it is that we are not all talking about Yemen constantly.

If there were any relationship between what is newsworthy and what gets into the news, the mass atrocity in Yemen would have been all we talked about from the moment it started and the public outcry would have ended it years ago.

Instead, Yemen has remained almost invisible.

The correct response to every accusation the United States government levels at a government it does not like is, "Yemen".

Yemen, in and of itself, is a complete and total refutation of the United States-centralized power alliance and the "liberal world order" it purports to uphold.

It is clear that "Russia paid bounties to Taliban fighters" is one of those narratives the propagandists decided to ram into mainstream consciousness until they force it to become consensus orthodoxy by repetition and sheer force of will, with zero interest in facts or evidence.

Soon it will be accepted so widely and thoroughly as an established fact that if you say there is not actually any proof that Russia paid Taliban fighters to kill occupying forces you will be called a crazy conspiracy theorist, despite the fact that there is in fact no proof.

The United States will keep engaging in these aggressive provocations against China, then when China responds they will say it was unprovoked and their media stenographers will repeat it as a fact. You do not need to be a Nostradamus to know this; they have been doing it for years.

I object to establishment China hysteria not because I think the Chinese government is awesome, nor because I hate the United States of America.

I do not.

I object to it because I never signed up for a world where governments wave armageddon weapons at each other whilst battling over planetary domination.

When you clap along with the cold war hysterics about China and-or Russia, that is what you are doing.

You are saying you support the United States government in its endless fight to absorb all nations into its globe-spanning power alliance and destroy all who resist.

That is crazy. Stop it.

There is no legitimate reason we can not live in a world where at bare minimum nations just use their militaries for actual defense from actual invasions and stop trying to dominate the planet.

Do not cheerlead for the State Department; demand a healthy world without this crazy bullshit.

Dominating the planet with violent savagery on the vague suspicion that if you do not, someone else will, is just a planetary-scale version of imprisoning someone for a crime you imagine they might commit in the future.

That is called "pre-crime", and it is a dystopian horror genre.

Life is so very, very much more beautiful and boundless than the flat, finite and predictable world we are told about by those who have been appointed by the powerful to describe reality to us.

Money is pure narrative construct. Debt is pure narrative construct.

These things only exist to the extent that we all collectively agree to pretend that the stories about them are true. We are free to collectively end that agreement and create a whole new system at any time.

They can not arrest us all, and they can not kill us all.

They know it and we know it.

That is the whole reason for all the propaganda, censorship and surveillance.

And no amount of propaganda, censorship and surveillance will be enough when it is time to force real change.
