The Emperor Has No Authority: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix By Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article:

If you think the Biden administration caging kids at the border is bad, wait til you hear what it is doing in Yemen.

Would you be willing to murder a child every ten minutes to advance United States geostrategic interests in the Middle East? Because that is exactly what the United States government and its proxies are doing in Yemen.

Imagine watching a political party consistently demonstrate the exact same pattern of behavior for generations and then thinking it is about to change.

When the United States changes political party leadership you will see minor superficial changes which do not affect the powerful at all-letting trans people in the military or whatever-while leaving all the actual dynamics of oligarchy and empire intact. This creates the illusion of change.

You do not get to vote on oligarchy or empire. You only get to vote on what window dressings they use from year to year.

It’ is weird how Joe Bidens obvious dementia has made it essentially mainstream knowledge that the president does not actually call the shots in the United States government but everyone is still going to treat the next presidential election like it matters anyway.

I mean it was basically already mainstream knowledge, as evidenced by the fact that whenever you would point out that Barack Obama or Donald Trump were continuing the same evil policies as their predecessors their supporters would say "Come on you can not just expect the president to do things." But then the next presidential election rolls around and once again it is "THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF OUR LIFETIME", even though deep down everyone knows it is basically an audition for who gets to play the lead character in a scripted theater production that has been running for generations.

I always get people saying "You can not say my president has dementia! You are not a doctor!"

It is funny how Joe Bidens obvious cognitive decline used to be something establishment Democrats openly discussed, but when he become the Democratic frontrunner it suddenly became something you can not say unless you have a medical degree. Please people, just compare recent footage to footage of him a few years ago. If all his very obvious mental lapses are not enough to convince you, the fact that he is indisputably a completely different man should.

Watch the man in this video:

Biden confuses Syria-Libya three times. He also appears to boast that Russias inability to "provid[e] for the basic economic needs of people" in Syria is a point of United States leverage. I assume he means the United States sanctions that, like Biden, United States media will not mention.-Aaron Maté (aaronjmate) June 13, 2021

Then compare that trainwreck to the man in this video:

Or you do not even need to go back that far:

Joe Biden explains why Bernie Sanders is the best to beat Donald Trump.

(Yes, this is Joe 4 years ago.. I know it is strange watching him talk in full sentences.)-Aisha Sharna (SharnaAisha) March 4, 2020

If you tell me you are seeing the same level of cognitive functioning in the first video as the second and third video, you are lying.

Compare that drastic change to what we have seen from Bernie Sanders, for example, who aside from his appearance and voice changing with age still has the exact same personality and demeanor he had forty years ago:

Again, this is important to flag not for partisan reasons, but because it makes it abundantly clear that the elected officials of the most powerful government on earth do not actually run things. The official head of an empire does not have anything to do with the actual operation of that empire; it is being run by unofficial unelected forces from behind the scenes. The emperor has no authority. Peoples attention should be drawn to this fact.

Defending press freedoms without defending Julian Assange is attacking press freedoms.

Israels Gaza Policy:

- Trap an ethnic group in one of the most densely populated areas on earth.

- Routinely drop military explosives on them knowing you will definitely kill civilians.

- Claim they are using "human shields" because they live in a densely populated area.

There is no confusion in the Israeli government about the fact that they will kill civilians any time they do this. They know full well they are doing something that will necessarily kill people who are not "Hamas", but they spin it as being exclusively about Hamas anyway.

Q: What is Russia?

A: Russia is a strange enchanted realm whose magical properties render western minds completely incapable of forming rational thoughts about it.

The powerful understand that narrative control is everything, so when someone with influence begins punching holes in power-serving narratives, it is 100 percent certain that you will see them smeared very aggressively at some point. It is very important to prevent these smear campaigns from succeeding.

It can be tempting to avoid confronting smearmeisters, because they will always make it an ugly fight. But the only alternative is to let them control the narrative about you, which is the same as letting them control you. Because, again, narrative control is everything.

If you are being targeted in this way it really is necessary to wade into the muck and make sure you are making your smearers look worse than they are trying to make you look, make sure their gross behavior damages their reputation worse than it damages yours.

If you are actually interested in making a difference and helping the world you need to not just put out solid work but also protect your reputation, because if you let the smearmeisters control your reputation it will not matter how solid your work is since nobody will look at it.

Making sure their smears damage them more than they damage you is the only way to create some space for yourself and your work, because it is the only thing that deters them. Otherwise they will keep smearing and smearing until there is no possibility of your work having any impact.

The more conscious you are the more conscious people around you will become; there is an outward ripple effect that is amazing to watch.

Becoming deeply conscious of your inner world and your outer world is the best way to help wake up humanity, because consciousness is contagious.
