The Empire Of Hypocrisy: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

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

The United States is raging about Russia jailing a Wall Street Journal reporter on espionage charges, while the United States is:

-Jailing Julian Assange for doing good journalism.
-Threatening to imprison Matt Taibbi.
-Charging African Peoples Socialist Party members with "propaganda" crimes.

Such hypocrisy is damning not because hypocrisy itself is a particularly terrible thing, but because it shows that the United States does not actually value press freedoms or free speech; it only pretends to in order to advance its own foreign policy objectives. It only cares about these freedoms insofar as it can rhetorically bludgeon governments it dislikes for not having them.

So it turns out that after the Hunter Biden laptop leak Tony Blinken contacted his Central Intelligence Agency buddy Mike Morell to make it go away, and Mr. Morell has now admitted to cooking up the bogus "Russian disinfo" letter from 51 United States intelligence insiders to "help Vice President Biden.. because I wanted him to win the election."

Barack Obamas acting CIA director just cooly admitting that he used his intelligence connections to orchestrate a psyop to change the outcome of a presidential election completely invalidates anything the United States government does under the banner of fighting "election interference".

Keep this glaring hypocrisy in mind as the United States government continues churning out indictments and ramping up authoritarian measures in the name of fighting "disinformation" and protecting American "democracy".

Still stuns me that the global north is full of fully grown adults who sincerely believe President Putin invaded Ukraine completely unprovoked, solely because he is evil and hates freedom, and that the United States is defending Ukraine because it wants to protect freedom and democracy from tyrants.

The Democratic Party is what the natural, healthy human impulse to promote civil rights and economic justice looks like after you filter it through the most powerful propaganda machine that has ever existed and put it in charge of an empire that is fueled by human suffering.

Devastating.-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) April 20, 2023

The death of the 2016 Bernie Sanders campaign marked the end of any meaningful push toward economic justice in the United States. Ever since then all political oxygen has gone into ramping up culture war hostilities that will not put a single cent into any struggling United States of Americans bank account.

Some days I hate Republicans more than Democrats because while Democrats facilitate all the most murderous and destructive tendencies of the most powerful government on earth, Republicans do exactly the same thing while pretending they are a persecuted and disempowered group.

Do not be a pro bono Pentagon propagandist. If you oppose the empire, do not preface everything you say about China, Russia or other empire-targeted governments with "Of course their regime is evil and tyrannical, but". Those messages are already being amplified by societys most influential voices, and they get paid a lot for it. Do not do their job for free!!

Indie media who spend a lot of time sniping at other indie media are not in it to fight the power or make the world a better place, they are in it to build a brand. If you are serious about this shit you keep your crosshairs on the top of governmental, political and media power.

This is the dystopia you were warned about!!

A mind-controlled populace thinking, speaking, shopping, moving and voting in accordance with the will of the powerful. All that is left now is to secure the few dissidents on the fringes and keep bolstering the mind control matrix.

This does not mean it is hopeless, it just means we have got to acknowledge reality and start working from where we are at. The biggest obstacle to real freedom is the belief that we already have it.

It is important to watch out for red flags in the early stages of a new relationship, because if you do not see any it means they are probably not a communist and are therefore bad in bed!!
