We Are Being Pushed Toward Nuclear War On A Fiction: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Listen to a reading of this article:
We are being driven toward nuclear war on the completely fictional claim that President Putin is a Hitler-like megalomaniac who is just invading countries completely unprovoked, solely because he is evil and hates freedom, and will not stop invading and conquering until he is stopped by force.
The news media are not telling people about the western aggressions which led to this war. They are not telling people the United States is keeping this war going with the stated goal of weakening Russia and is rejecting peace talks and refusing to push for peace.
All people are being told is that President Putin is another Hitler who will not listen to reason and only understands violence. The worlds two nuclear superpowers are being pushed closer and closer to direct military confrontation based on a complete fiction which omits mountains of facts.
To participate in this madness is indefensible. It is indefensibly immoral to foist a fictional version of events upon a trusting populace in order to manufacture consent for more and more aggressive acts of brinkmanship with a nuclear superpower. These people are depraved!!
"No no you do not understand, if we were not being told constantly by the media that this proxy war needs our full support and censoring the voices who dispute this and using giant troll armies to swarm and silence anyone who questions this, we might fall victim to propaganda."
"You are not anti-war, you are just anti-AMERICAN wars," said the person who is loudly cheerleading Americas proxy war in Ukraine.
Warmongers do not like being called warmongers when they support a United States proxy war that was deliberately provoked by the United States and is being sustained by the funding and facilitation of the United States with the explicit goal of weakening a longtime geopolitical rival of the United States.
They get very upset when you point out the fact that they are doing this, and when peoples opposition to their warmongering is described as "anti-war":
Calling this deranged nonsense "anti-war" is giving it way too much credit.-Matt Duss (mattduss) October 13, 2022
They very much prefer to pretend that this time the United States is on the good and righteous side of a war, because in that imaginary world they are the cool anti-fascists standing up to an evil tyrant and those who oppose their warmongering are the real warmongers.
"This time the United States is on the GOOD side of a war! Also, goo goo ga ga I am a little baby with a little baby brain."
The closer we get to nuclear war the less patience I have for sectarian spats between people who are supposed to be opposing war and militarism. Grow the f-ck up and get over yourselves. This is more important than you and your ego.
Do not let anyone tell you your criticisms of United States warmongering make no difference; if they did not, the empire would not work so hard to dissuade you from making them. They work so hard to manufacture public consent for their agendas because they absolutely require that consent.
An entire globe-spanning empire rests on our closed eyelids. Depends on keeping us in a propaganda-induced coma. Circulating ideas and information which discredit and dispute that propaganda poses a direct threat to that empire. That is what all the censorship of dissent is about.
Is your one tweet, video or public demonstration going to bring the empire crashing down? Of course not. But it will spread awareness by that much. And all positive changes in human behavior are always preceded by an expansion of awareness. You are nudging us all toward awakening to whatever extent you help expand awareness of truth and reality.
We can not be the Hollywood hero who single-handedly decapitates the machine, but we can all collectively throw sand in its gears, making it harder and harder for it to function.
That is what disrupting the imperial propaganda machine accomplishes, because that machine depends on propaganda. The weakest part of an empire that is held together by lies and manipulation is its lies and manipulations; that is why it is such an aggressively protected aspect of its power. And it happens to be the one part that anyone with a voice can attack, and attack effectively.
The nightmare scenario for our rulers is the same as the nightmare scenario for every ruler throughout history: that the masses will get sick of their rule and use the power of their numbers to get rid of them. That is exactly what the propaganda matrix is designed to prevent.
One aspect of this struggle that is a bit like a Hollywood movie is that it kind of is a struggle between light and darkness, because the empire depends on keeping its activities obfuscated and unseen while we are all working to make its machinery visible and transparent.
That is why Mr. Julian Assange is in prison.
It is also why internet censorship keeps ramping up, why propaganda is getting more and more blatant, and why online discussion is swarmed by astroturf trolling ops. Those in power are working against the people to keep things dark and unseen!!
