Mr. Julian Assange Exposes The Empires True Face: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):
Julian Assange is a journalist who has been imprisoned for doing journalism on war crimes, by an empire that claims to defend journalists and oppose war crimes.
Julian Assange and his persecution expose the giant plot holes in every story the western power structure tells about itself. About its love of free speech and the free press. About its opposition to tyranny. About its wars and why it wages them. Mr. Julian Assange exposes the empires true face!
And in that sense it is interesting that the empire made the decision to jail and silence Mr. Julian Assange, since in doing so it exposed its own tyranny and criminality far more than WikiLeaks could have ever hoped to.
Mr. Julian Assange said, "It is the role of good journalism to take on powerful abusers." If you accept this as true, you must also accept that there are precisely zero good journalists anywhere in the western mass media, and that Mr. Assange is the greatest journalist who has ever lived!
The moderate position on Ukraine is to hold both Russia and the United States empire responsible for their respective roles in starting and continuing this war. That is the middle ground. But this position is regarded as freakish fringe extremism in the western mainstream and you will be accused of literally conducting psyops for a foreign government if you voice it, because the western mainstream is just that freakishly extremist!
The mainstream position in the west is that President Putin invaded Ukraine solely because he is evil and hates freedom, and that Moscow is 100% responsible for this conflict in every way while the United States is just an innocent little flower who just wants to protect freedom and democracy. When you actually spell out what the mainstream position on Ukraine is it sounds like a silly fairy tale for children, but that is what all the most influential western pundits, politicians and government officials are actually saying. That is how bat shit insane things are!!!
The Overton window has been shifted so far in support of NATO warmongering that this middle-ground position is now regarded as fringe extremism, so they just debate things like whether or not cluster bombs should be used to fight this war that is obviously 10000% Russias fault. As is often the case this dynamic has already been well-described by the elderly scholar who we all love to share our opinions about:
"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there is free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate."- Noam Chomsky
The claim that NATO is a "defensive" alliance that is set up to promote peace is a lie that is refuted by a swift glance at recorded history; in terms of evidence it is crazier than saying there are alien aircraft in our skies. But you constantly hear respected pundits saying it.
The United States presidential race is that wonderful season American liberals set aside to remind socialists that they hate them far more than they hate the right and would cheerfully burn the whole country to the ground before they would share one iota of power with them:
The only people who hate leftists more than rightists do are liberals, which is a bit funny because rightists think leftists and liberals are the same.
It is trippy how people pour such effort into disputing whether the planet is warming when the biosphere is showing us many, many other signs of looming collapse. They completely ignore the ocean dead zones, plummeting insect populations, loss of wildlife, trees, fertile soil etc.
I mean, what specifically is the claim here??
That there is a big evil plot across the entire scientific field to lie about warming, but all the other signs of environmental collapse are legit??
Or are those fake too??
If so, why only focus on the one message that benefits fossil fuel companies??
Obviously there are powerful people looking to exploit global warming to shore up wealth and power; that is to be expected. It would be surprising if that was not happening. None of that changes the need to drastically alter the way humanity operates on this planet right away.
One reason it is so hard to set up beneficial systems is because in negotiations manipulators always push for the absolute maximum amount of gain they can possibly grab while good people only push for a normal, human-sized amount of space for themselves.
You see this constantly in union negotiations and politics alike: people come to the negotiation table with demands that are viewed as "reasonable" by those in power and then are negotiated back halfway from that point of "reason" as a "compromise", while those with the power grab up everything they can get their mitts on and walk back only if forced to. This has a ratchet effect over the years which sees ordinary people losing more and more power to the ruling class!!
That is not going to change until normal people stop letting the manipulators set the bar of what is "reasonable" and start pushing out space for themselves with as much force and entitlement as bad people!
People are going to have to stop coming to the negotiating table with their compromise, and instead show up with the demand to take back everything that was stolen from them - and more - with as much force as necessary.
