What Chuck Schumer is revealing out in the open
By Jon Rappoport
Senator Chuck Schumer on MSNBC: "We're no longer
fact-based. The founding fathers created a country based on fact. We
don't have a fact base. If Breitbart News and the New York Times are
regarded with equal credibility, you worry about this democracy."
First of all, in Schumer's opening sentence, who is this
"we"? There is an implication that the "we" is somehow monolithic and
centralized. But people have been in disagreement about facts and what
they mean since the dawn of time. People have rejected centralized
sources of facts, from kings and queens and priests, to newspapers and
television news.
In the same way that 99% of economists assume society must be
planned and centralized, Schumer and "the people in power" assume media
must operate as a centralized force---as if it's a natural law.
They just assume it, because until recently, it was the case,
it was cozy and easy. But not now. And they're angry and shocked. They
see their foundation of propaganda and mind control slipping away.
You must appreciate how secure they used to feel. It was a
cake walk, a picnic in the park. The definition of "fact" was: whatever
centralized media said it was. What could be simpler? And to them, that
was "democracy."
Feed the people lies, hide deeper truth, slam dunk.
Then along came independent media.
Boom.
It turned out millions of people were interested.
The cat jumped out of the bag.
I know about this. I've been letting cats out of bags since 1982.
That's longer than some of my readers have been alive.
I also know about censorship, because almost from the
beginning of my work as a reporter, I had stories turned down by major
media outlets and even alternative outlets. I saw the handwriting on the
wall.
Chuck Schumer is echoing what many of his colleagues---and
far more powerful people---are worrying about. Their vaunted
mouthpieces, the NY Times, the Washington Post, etc., are failing. They
can't carry the same old freight with impunity.
So Schumer "worries about the future of democracy." What he's
actually worried about has nothing to do with democracy, and it
certainly has nothing to do with a Republic, which was the form of this
nation from the beginning.
Schumer is worried about decentralization.
He's worried that people are defecting from the authoritarian arrogant Castle of Truth.
And, given his position, he should be worried.
We are at a tipping point. Needless to say---but I will say
it---independent media need your support. Your choice about where you
obtain your news makes a difference.
Until a few years ago, I never considered that I was
relentless. I was just doing my work. But as I saw the counter-efforts
of major media, social media, government, Globalists, and other players,
as they tried to reassert their primacy, I found a deeper level of
commitment. A person can find many reasons to stop what he is doing.
Every person eventually realizes that. But will he give in? Or will he
decide to keep going? My choice is reflected on these pages, where I
write every day.
Many of my colleagues have made the same choice. As for
myself, I take the long, long view. Whatever befalls this civilization,
the individual survives. He cannot be erased. I know that as surely as I
know I am sitting here.
People like Chuck Schumer are living on a foundation of sand.
Their power depends on obfuscation and deception and exchanging favors.
When they feel the ground shifting under their feet, they growl and
accuse and declaim and resort to fake ideals. If they see their con
isn't working and isn't selling, then they panic.
Which is a good sign.
Many, many years ago, I had a good relationship with a media
outlet. Then one day, the man in charge told me I was "positioning
myself" outside the scope of his audience. I was speaking to "different
people," and therefore I should "go my own way." I could tell he wasn't
happy about saying this, because he thought of himself as an
independent, but there it was. He was bending to the demands of "his
people." So we parted company.
I was now further "out there" than I had been before. I was
"independent of an 'independent' media outlet." It took me about five
minutes to see the joke. A good and useful joke.
As the years rolled on, I kept finding myself in a more
independent position, which meant I was writing what I wanted to write,
and in the process I was discovering deeper levels of what I wanted to
write.
Understanding this changed my political view. If I didn't
stand for the free and independent individual, what did I stand for? If I
didn't keep coming back to THAT, what could I come back to?
It made sense to me then, and it makes sense to me now.
This is why I keep writing about collective, the group, the mass, and the generality, those fake representations of life.
The individual is always free, whether he knows it or not. And therefore, he can choose.
This is what the Chuck Schumers of this world vaguely
apprehend on the horizon. They can't believe what they're seeing; it's
too horrible a prospect. They reject it as a fantasy. A random
nightmare.
But it isn't a random nightmare.
It's the potential for an open future.
Decentralized.
Alive.
Back from obscurity.
Back from the late 18th century, when the ideas embedded in
the Constitution reflected the desire to unleash the free and
independent individual and afford him protection from the
powers-that-be.
