There
is a massive effort to use propaganda to convince the public to do
things a minority wants. Most likely its based on the belief that IF
the majority can be persuaded to go in a particular direction the rest
of the nation will follow. That may work for people who would
rather enjoy whatever limited comfort they have rather than fight to
preserve their nation, which
history shows there are plenty of, including those now flooding the
borders of every country stupid or corrupt enough to let them in, but
there is an active minority that in all cases end up carrying the
majority on their backs. That group is under full attack by the
press and the so called intelligence agencies, including their infiltration of the nations news organizations, and placing military operatives in political positions to control your republic. Here in 1977 Carl Bernstein exposes the CIA infiltrating the press. And here a link to various US military documents on propaganda operations.
The practice of undermining the will of the public has been going on
for a long time. And this link recounts Biden reminding American
citizens that his administration has the army and nuclear weapons
to deal with citizens that do not agree with his
administration's right to take away their right to bear arms.
The majority of a nation has never been responsible for making anything great. In the colonies, it took a minority of brave souls who actually thought about it and understood Britain had to go. They did so after a period of about ten years of trying to get Britain to be reasonable, and when that failed the colonies declared independence from Britain.
"A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined." - (Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836)
"what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms. the remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. what signify a few lives lost in a century or two? the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. it is it’s natural manure." - Extract from Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith Paris Nov. 13. 1787
Our reality today is different. I review the news and study history
constantly
and there are millions of people that do not now and never have bought
into the propaganda and BS the public figures of their nation have
tried to foist on them. More
importantly, if you look at this article I wrote and accompanying links
you will find hundreds of articles written over the years by others
exposing the absolute lies and BS the military, intelligence
agencies and governments have been up to. Learning history and the
lies, manipulation,
murder, greed and corruption it exposes is like being immunized against
propaganda. It is a fair statement to say that corruption and
greed have destroyed any reasonable semblance of life on earth and a
major correction is badly overdue. There is not a politician or
bureaucrat anywhere that bears any consequences for their actions and
the damage they do to society, and
that is completely wrong. We are tearing down statues and we must
begin to tear down those people today responsible for the damage they
are doing to our nations daily. The name calling and false accusations
being leveled against those insisting on change is a badge of honor and
not a criticism that has any effect. The accusers seem to believe
lies repeated become truth, and all they really do is make those
continually repeating the lies more visible and easier to identify.
The only value CNN, the Washington Post and many other so called news sources have is to expose them and the propaganda they spew, as complete and utter liars and manipulators. Moreover, the targets of their propaganda identifies the issues of greatest concern to their controllers, and these become issues worth investigating further. For example the push to flood the country with illegal immigrants is designed to corrupt voting in the nation and to undermine the jobs market for the poorest Americans. Doing so takes away any bargaining power they have and continues the practice of economic slavery that has been around from the beginning of time. The push to encourage transgender ideology on women is to make people afraid to speak out against utter nonsense. Men are not women and until evolutionary forces create a new class of biological human that has two sets of organs that allow men to menstruate monthly, give birth, and be equal in all respects to women, the whole purpose of the propaganda push is simply to use illogical ideas on people to shift power to those that deliver the nonsense with the pretense of authority. Kindness has absolutely nothing to do with it and in fact standing up to the nonsense is not a condemnation of being transgender and all of the issues that group faces, it simply recognizes the facts. A republic with a Constitution offers protection for all minorities as well as protection of majorities. One of the protections is designed to preserve freedom of belief such as religion even though many people might not like what those beliefs are. At the same time those beliefs do not change facts such as the majority of biological males do not have wombs and birth canals, nor do they permit the physical abuse of others, as in the case of slavery.
When George Orwell published his book 1984 in 1949 the Internet and widespread sharing of information and ideas was not available. It was generally assumed the state controlled all information the public consumed. The reality today is far more beautiful. The lies, propaganda, BS, and utter failures of the manipulators are like unexploded bombs that you can turn back on them and utterly destroy their positions. The only way to overcome that strength is to completely remove all publicly available information and opposing viewpoints from the world. Doing that is an absolute cause for war. Knowing that, the corrupt forces in the world are trying to create filters to prevent the dissemination of anything truthful, mimicking in many ways what repressive states do. Google and Facebook are trying to emulate the behavior of repressive states using deceit and lies, and the people of these companies trying to destroy speech and opinion are simply enemies of the people and should be treated as such. They are pointing weapons every bit as damaging as bullets at our children and in the coming years should be given no quarter. That is the only way this type of behavior can be addressed.
This 1946 film by Encyclopedia Britannica spells out exactly what is going on today. It used to be taught in schools and "asks viewers to gauge where their communities lie on the scale of democracy vs. despotism, and points out that key indicators are concentration of wealth and power, civil liberties and freedom of the press, and respect for others."
Just to show you how well this is all working out, read through this link which documents what the people of various countries around the world really think. There is no place to hide and global surveys show it. Moreover, the US Media is now globally recognized for the garbage it is. People are buying propaganda you say? Think again. There are many Edward Snowdons in the world.
In addition, it is impossible to overcome the widely publicized stupidity of flooding the nation with illegal immigrants, publicly admitting the courts are one big Ponzi scheme, the corruption of our education system by unions, and the destruction of capitalism by greed and stupidity by the rich and the losers they bribe to hold their positions. Look around at every other country in the world, and you see citizens who have been reduced to obedient serfs. You can quickly figure out that if the citizens of any nation on earth can take steps to straighten things out it won't be in any of these countries.
I wrote in another article that your best enemies are liars, crooks and the corrupt because no matter what you can use their corruption against them. I cited the example of the Cuomo brothers as a case in point. Andrew Cuomo was an arrogant, lying bully and philanderer. His brother Chris surfed the wave of his brother's popularity, until Andrew Cuomo was outed as an abuser and his Covid policies that killed thousands were exposed. Fauci is another lying clown. You could not ask for better enemies than any of these guys or the intelligence agencies of most nations. They simply can't hide from those that expose them.
Reading and researching things that interest you is the best antidote for propaganda and lies. However knowing the truth is not enough, and peaceful protest alone is a trap, if you are without options to ultimately deal with the corruption of the system. You don't have to have a very large brain to figure out armed and knowledgeable Americans are the only hope for a free republic. I really have not studied it, so I cannot make an intelligent comment, but I have to wonder how many people identified in the media in other nations are really terrorists, or just people fed up with completely corrupt governments. You need to educate yourself, control your spending like its a weapon, and disrupt everything that is broken. At one point that will not be enough.
One source of comfort to you should be the fact that there are a lot of people who will appear to play the game because they need the cash flow to survive, but secretly do a lot to undermine the greedy, the rich, the liars and the corrupt. It is only secrecy that lets the greedy, the rich, the liars and the corrupt get away with what they do to a nation, and exposing them is one of the methods leading to their eventual and necessary destruction.
“If ye love wealth
better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating
contest of
freedom, - go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms.”
“Crouch down
and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon
you, and may
posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!” - Samuel
Adams

“This
may be considered as the true palladium of liberty . . . . The right of
self defense is the first law of nature: in most governments it has
been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest
limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of
the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext
whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the
brink of destruction. In England, the people have been disarmed,
generally, under the specious pretext of preserving the game: a never
failing lure to bring over the landed aristocracy to support any
measure, under that mask, though calculated for very different
purposes. True it is, their bill of rights seems at first view to
counteract this policy: but the right of bearing arms is confined to
protestants, and the words suitable to their condition and degree, have
been interpreted to authorize the prohibition of keeping a gun or other
engine for the destruction of game, to any farmer, or inferior
tradesman, or other person not qualified to kill game. So that not one
man in five hundred can keep a gun in his house without being subject
to a penalty.” - St. George
Tucker
