The Empire Does Not Hide Its Worst Deeds, It Just Manipulates How People Think About Them by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

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

The worst actions of your government happen not in secrecy, but right out in the open under the narrative cover of mass media propaganda. The western empire does not hide its worst deeds, it just manipulates the way people think about them.

Tomorrow we could unearth rock-solid proof that the United States government knowingly orchestrated 9-11-01, and that crime in and of itself still would not be as bad as what the United States government is facilitating in Gaza right now, in plain view of the entire world.

And even if such a revelation did occur, the imperial media would probably either ignore it or spin it so that its impact is dulled into impotence.

The empires worst atrocities happen in the open because the empires worst atrocities involve butchering and starving huge numbers of people, which is impossible to do in secret. They can assassinate a government official here and sign a malignant secret agreement there without needing to do it openly, but murder at mass scale is not something you can conceal in the information age.

The United States-centralized globe-spanning power structure therefore relies heavily on its historically unprecedented ability to psychologically manipulate global populations when carrying out such atrocities.

The empire has invested more heavily in soft power than any empire or government in human history, and the science of modern propaganda has been advancing under this investment at least as rapidly as military technology has been.

That is why you can have the most damning information imaginable about the people who rule over us sitting right out in the open, and you will not see anywhere remotely close to the public outrage and backlash you ought to see.

The United States government can literally back a genocide without hiding any part of it, and the political-media class will simply manipulate public psychology into getting lost in a bunch of hogwash about self-defense and human shields and difficulties delivering food and medical supplies and hey Biden is working hard to do the right thing here and it is all very complicated and everything bad that happens in Gaza can be blamed on Hamas anyway.

It is a truly astonishing power that would inspire awe if it was not so evil. Power is controlling what happens, but real power is controlling what people think about what happens.

Whistleblowers and investigative journalists provide an invaluable service to humanity for which we should all be grateful, but what this civilization needs more than anything right now is not so much new information about what the powerful are doing, but rather the ability to lucidly perceive the information that has already been made public.

We need people clearly seeing what is already right in front of them, without the lens of distortion and obfuscation that the powerful have placed over their eyes.

Until we find a way to snap a critical mass of people out of the propaganda-induced coma the empire has placed them in, they will be able to get away with any evil they need to commit in order to secure their interests and advance their agendas.

We can work on this front by doing everything we can to get people looking at the reality of what our rulers are doing at every opportunity, in as creative and interesting a way as we can come up with.

The more eyes open to the truth, the more lucid perceivers there will be to help open the eyes of others.
