Crypto Invalidates The Money Narrative: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article:

It is trippy how a government that has been democratically elected by free people behaves in exactly the same way you would expect a government to behave if it was run by corporations.

I just cannot understand how we keep failing to solve the worlds problems using a system of making as much money as you can while paying your workers as little as you can and offloading as many of your costs onto the biosphere as possible.

What is funny about Joe Rogan is he clearly did not start off with an oppositional relationship to the mainstream media; that opposition was thrust upon him by the mass media constantly lying about him and smearing him for having a large audience without conforming sufficiently to establishment groupthink.

This was the most significant part of the Rogan-Gupta exchange, and it is not getting enough attention. The media class open disdain for Mr. Rogan is turning him further and further against them, and now it has got him asking if western media run propaganda for United States foreign policy.-

So now you have got someone with a massive platform who nobody can control openly asking if the public is being propagandized by the media about nations targeted by the United States-centralized empire. If he keeps chasing that rabbit, things could get very interesting and-or very ugly.

Propaganda is the answer to most important political questions.

Why are things so f-cked???

Propaganda.

Why do people keep supporting corrupt parties and voting for corrupt assholes???

Propaganda.

Why is there no antiwar movement???

Propaganda.

Why do the people not rise up???

Propaganda.

What is the functional difference between a regime which directly censors the internet to prevent dissent and a regime which works with Silicon Valley plutocrats to control information via algorithms and has institutional safeguards which prevent dissent from having any effect??

You do not actually have "free speech" in your country if there are mountains of institutional roadblocks set up to prevent anyone from using their speech to effect meaningful political changes. It does not matter what you are allowed to say if it does not matter what you say.

"I can say whatever I want in my country!" Yeah you can say whatever you want on a desert island too, and because your status quo is locked in place in countless ways it will make the exact same amount of difference.

Wikipedia is just as aggressively manipulated by imperial narrative managers as news media and social media. Whoever controls the narrative about the world controls the world itself.

Money is a useful fiction. It is a made-up story that can be revised and re-written at any time. Most people only "kind of" get this, at best. They do not get the whole enchilada and what it means.-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) October 15, 2021

The financial elite hate crypto not because crypto itself poses a threat to their empire, but because its existence is destroying trust and belief in the "realness" narrative of money among regular people. Bitcoin is imaginary, but it is worth real money. Why?? Because money is also imaginary.

The complexity of the markets is absolutely essential in controlling the narrative around why a few live like kings while the rest work like slaves just to keep a roof over their heads. You, regular person, are not meant to understand it. Because if you did it could not continue.

If you define crypto as shares it makes it clear that shares do not need to be based in any kind of physical reality in order to create "value" in a market-based system. Crypto as currency makes it clear that currency does not need the trade of a national economy to back it.

Crypto shows that it is all made up, this whole psychopathic numbers game where the digits on your bank app dictate whether you live or die, or the digits on spreadsheets dictate whether we avoid near-term extinction or not, it is all made up. And we can change it whenever we like.

I have always hated Monopoly. What a tedious, vindictive waste of a perfectly good afternoon. I am so pissed off that we are going extinct over what essentially is just a global game of Monopoly that virtually none of us want to play.

In the escalations between the United States and China, one is the aggressor and the other is acting defensively. You can tell which is which by asking yourself how the other would react if the situation was reversed. If China started doing this to the United States there would be war instantaneously:

People say "That military presence is to protect Chinas neighbors from Chinese aggression."

Look up all the USAs murderous interventions in Central and South America. China would be far more justified setting up a military presence to protect nations like Cuba and Venezuela. Yet it does not.

This means between the United States power alliance and China, Washington,D.C. is the aggressor and Beijing is acting defensively in response to that aggression. The reason western news media do not report on these escalations in this way is because western news media is propaganda.

When you are used to being in power a movement toward equality can feel like a personal attack. Marginalized groups being elevated gets turned into "There is a war on white men!" China refusing to let the United States rule the world gets turned into "China is trying to take over the world!"

That there would be a second cold war was guaranteed after the success of the first one. If your empire succeeded in attaining global hegemony in a game of subversion and manipulation which happened to greatly enrich your military-industrial complex, why would you not do it again??

I mean sure you are gambling the life of every terrestrial organism every day you roll the dice on brinkmanship with nuclear-armed nations, but you wind up sitting pretty if your gamble pays off and the world does not get incinerated. It is a no-brainer for people with no brains.

Seems like every country on earth gets compared to Nazi Germany except the imperialist one that has been slaughtering people by the millions to conquer the world because it believes it is exceptional.

If:
-Police come to your doorstep
-To question you about social media posts
-And interrogate you about protest activity

-Then you do not live in a free country.-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) October 10, 2021

Things are so deeply, deeply f-cked in so very, very many ways, and they are getting worse so very, very fast. And because status quo narrative control is so effective, hardly anyone is even aware of this. If humanity makes it out of this mess alive, it will look like a miracle.

But also, there is so very, very much we do not understand, and humans have so very, very much untapped potential we simply have not woken up to yet. There is plenty of room for future miracles to be hiding in all that space.

We are where we are because of our collective conditioned behavior patterns. Any movement away from our self-destructive patterning will necessarily come from an unpatterned direction, and will therefore be unexpected and unanticipated. That is why it will look like a miracle.

We go on because we go on. Because our heart keeps beating and our lungs keep inhaling, and because the human organism is deeply hardwired to desire life, and because life is beautiful and delightful. We fight on because what the hell else are we going to do??

As power-driven agendas of global conquest give rise to international propaganda wars that are increasingly turning our information ecosystem into white noise and indecipherable gibberish, people may soon cease looking outside themselves for truth and begin looking within.
