Enslaving The World To Stop Chinese Tyranny: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

Donald Trump should have stuck to just doing legal things like assassinating foreign leaders, deliberately starving civilians, imprisoning journalists, and dropping military explosives on foreign nations.

If you are just tuning in, United States dollar hegemony and diplomatic dominance are rapidly eroding while the United States and its allies accelerate aggressions and provocations against Russia and China simultaneously in a desperate bid to quash the emergence of a multipolar world.

I am a bit less excited about the mounting threats posed to United States hegemony than other anti-imperialists, only because a desperate unipolarist empire is a dangerous unipolarist empire. The deadliest time for a battered wife is right when she leaves.

A cornered animal is dangerous, especially when it has sharp teeth. A cornered empire is dangerous, especially when it has nuclear weapons. "If I can not have you no one can" is a line that can be said to a partner or to a planet.

Abuse victims need to escape, but we may also be heading into the most perilous moment in all of history.

How is this even debatable?

The United States Constitution explicitly says in the clearest terms possible that congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, and yet that is literally exactly the thing that congress is trying to do.-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) March 29, 2023

It is so crazy that the immensely authoritarian RESTRICT Act is getting shoved through on a tidal wave of consent that is based on literally nothing besides peoples fuzzbrained artificially-manufactured hysteria about China.

Consent for the PATRIOT Act was manufactured by planes crashing into United States of American skyscrapers and killing thousands of people. Consent for the RESTRICT Act was manufactured by a few right wing pundits stoking a dopey moral panic about an app where kids post dancing videos.

It just says so much about the lies the west tells about itself and its values that the second any social media service becomes widely used you see the entire United States security state converge upon it and demand control over it.

The United States needs to stop Chinas rise by militarily encircling it and crippling nations who are aligned with it and waging economic warfare and staging proxy wars and saturating the world in propaganda and crushing free speech, because otherwise a tyrannical regime might take over.

Russia, China and Brazil are the only three nations on the United Nations Security Council who want an independent investigation into the Nord Stream bombing, for some reason.-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) March 28, 2023

In the year 2023 there is really no excuse for ordinary United States of Americans to believe any politician is on their side in either major party. The very best of them will only once in a while do the bare-minimum not-evil thing. Do not make heroes of these scumbags. They are not your friends.

Do not celebrate on those rare occasions when one of them does the bare-minimum not-evil thing. Do not "give them credit". Do not think it proves anything about who they are as people. All it means is a shitty empire manager did one bare-minimum not-evil thing. They are still trash. Believing anyone in either mainstream party is your friend is believing that institutions which are explicitly designed to promote the interests of oligarchy and empire are going to help ordinary people like you. It is like believing you can put out a fire with enough gasoline.

There are no solutions to the United States of Americas dysfunction in electoral politics. That does not mean there are no solutions, it just means you can not use something that is specifically designed to perpetuate the thing you do not like to end the thing you do not like. Any time you are being told that a major figure in mainstream politics is fighting for you, you are being sold a psyop; you are being sold the false belief that the system works and can be used to achieve positive change. This is done to keep you from dispensing with that system.

In 2016 you could be forgiven for thinking electoral politics had some hope, but after watching Donald Trump facilitate every deep state agenda in the book and watching Bernie cave and capitulate at every turn year after year, there is no excuse anymore. Stop buying into the puppet show.

Imagine invading a nation on the other side of the planet and establishing an illegal military occupation controlling a third of the nation and then claiming "self defense" when you kill people in that nation who try to make you leave.-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) March 31, 2023

Western journalists are some of the most herd-minded, approval-seeking losers you will ever meet. Their entire lives revolve around seeking the approval of other journalists, when they should be doing the exact opposite: working to expose journalistic malpractice in the media.

Journalists should have an oppositional relationship with power, and that means all power. Not only should they have an aggressively oppositional relationship with their government and its oligarchs, they should have an oppositional relationship with the mass media itself. They should spurn the approval of other journalists and media institutions; all the best journalists do.

It is not okay for journalists to let themselves become tools of power. It is not okay for journalists to be friends with politicians and government officials. It is not okay for journalists to have tribal loyalty to other journalists or seek to ingratiate themselves to them.

Journalists should have loyalty to the truth and the truth only. Not to the high-level people they schmooze with at the nations capital. Not to government officials in the name of maintaining "access". Not to their governments geopolitical interests. Not even to each other.

And of course everything I just described is career suicide to anyone who is looking to make it anywhere in the mass media. If what you want is to have the story of "being a journalist" and all the social clout that comes with it, you are going to do the exact opposite of what I said. That is a big part of what makes western journalists such herd-minded, approval-seeking losers; that is the only type of personality that can make it to any level of prominence in the mass media today. That is a problem, and if we are ever going to have a healthy society it is going to have to change.

The only way to do real critical reporting and still keep your job is to go independent, but that means going without all the resources people have at mainstream news outlets to get their information. Nobody has found a great solution to this yet, which is perfectly understandable because we live in a sick society where money and power are closely related and it takes money to produce good investigative journalism. So you will see things like "independent" media outlets cozying up with plutocrats to pay the bills, and they always run into problems down the track.

Really it is a bit of a catch-22; we can not have healthy media until we have a healthy society, and we can not have a healthy society until we have healthy media. We just muddle through as best we can, telling the truth the entire time, come what may!
