“Remember so long ago, when we cared about who could refuse the vaccine? A dim memory. The world is at WAR.”
Dear
reader, I don’t want to bore you. Don’t nod off. I’ll get to the juicy
parts in a minute. I promise. But for a few moments, try to stay with
me, when I say:
Although
some governments around the world are lifting COVID restrictions and
mandates, we should remember they still hold the power to re-impose
those measures at the drop of a hat---for any reason they cook up.
And
one of the lessons learned: governments show absolutely no inclination
to open their doors to wide discussion and debate about the
effectiveness of the COVID measures. So there is no reason to suspect
they’ll EVER opt for listening to voices other than their own.
Their
COVID decisions are political decisions. They’re decisions based on
expediency. And advancing tyranny. They have nothing to do with science
or morality.
However,
their decisions ARE affected by what citizens do or don’t
do. Governments, as we well know, for example, pay attention to trucker
convoys. And protests.
That’s called a clue.
Don’t back away now.
Don’t let up on pressure.
And
don’t be lulled into believing we can count on courts to reverse
executive “overreach.” Fabricated reports of rising case numbers could
change courts’ thinking overnight.
The
government-media propaganda axis has its own agenda, which shifts
according to new priorities. For now in America, the message is: “We’re
coming out of the dark days of the pandemic; the heaviest restrictions
can be lifted.”
Translation:
Mid-term elections are approaching; against Biden’s horrific poll
numbers, the Democrats need every edge they can muster; “better days are
here” is a confection that could help tilt races in their favor.
Whether
or not this is effective is beside the point. It’s a PR
calculation. It’s a hopeful ploy. It has nothing to do with science or
concern for the welfare of the public.
Propaganda
is only interested in: “what can we sell; what can we get away with;
what disaster/crime can we hide; what street protest against THAT we can
turn into a protest against THIS.”
And now, here is JUICY, because right on time, propagandists have a new 5000-foot apparatus to play with---THE WAR. RUSSIA.
That sweeps all other issues off the table.
Global pandemic? Never heard of it.
Destruction of economies across the world by COVID proclamation and edict? Never heard of it.
Fauci? Who?
Agile ever-shifting propaganda says: pandemic, COVID, and mandates don’t raise adrenaline levels right now; WAR does.
The
subliminal sub-text goes this way: WHAT’S MORE IMPORTANT RIGHT
NOW---REFUSING A JAB IN THE ARM OR TRYING TO HIDE FROM NUCLEAR MISSILES
THAT TAKE TEN MINUTES TO REACH YOUR HOUSE?
WHO IS THE BIGGER CRIMINAL TODAY? BILL GATES OR PUTIN?
WHAT HAS A GREATER IMPACT ON YOUR MIND RIGHT NOW? SOME VAGUE GREAT RESET? OR H-BOMB DESTRUCTION OF EARTH?
WHICH BANK FREEZE IS MORE IMPORTANT? THE ACCOUNTS OF CANADIAN TRUCKER SUPPORTERS? OR PUTIN’S?
YOU THOUGHT THE PANDEMIC WAS MIND BLOWING? THAT WAS NOTHING COMPARED WITH THE WAR.
President
Biden is being prepped, as never before, to deliver a compelling State
of the Union speech to the nation tonight. And by prepped, I mean FOR
GOD SAKES, JOE, DON’T WANDER. READ THE FRIGGIN’ TELEPROMPTER. WE’RE
GIVING YOU THE BEST DRUGS WE HAVE.
This
is going to be a wartime State of the Union. All hands on deck. Any
Congressman or Senator from either Party who doesn’t stand up and yell
in approval when Joe pops a war slogan is going to be shot before
sunrise.
And that’s part of propaganda, too.
Propaganda
reaches down below conscious thought and grabs the old hard wiring and
the hormones and the barely remembered cultural maxims and the tribal
edicts. Grab and squeeze. And squeeze harder.
Right
now, some clever PR operatives in many countries are trying to figure
out how to impart the impression that we’re at war without actually
going to war.
Because,
for instance, the US is not about to create a no-fly zone over the
Ukraine. Are you kidding? That would mean sending troops and planes to
the Ukraine and getting in dogfights with Russian planes---and then we
WOULD BE at war.
Somehow,
sanctions and bluster and accusation and jive about “the community of
nations” is going to have to carry the day and make people FEEL they’re
on war time status.
Is
that a good feeling or a bad feeling? The PR calculation is, by and
large it’s good. People are afraid, yes, but they’re also riveted,
galvanized, focused, even inspired.
Leaders,
in fact, can play on the fear and come up smelling like roses. No doubt
Biden will try to do a little of that tonight. “My friends, what we’re
doing now is going to make the world a better place, the place we want
our children to thrive in. Our cause is just. Lift every voice as all of
us, together, put aside fear and instead make HUMANITY AND CARING our
irresistible weapon….”
Of
course, he’ll leave out the part about US foreign policy over several
Presidencies pushing Ukraine away from Russia and toward NATO and the
EU---rattling the saber at Putin.
Almost
everyone wants to leave that part out. Because, among other reasons, it
doesn’t contribute to the tight propaganda stimulation.
HEY, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? DON’T DEFUSE THE ADRENALINE.
Heavy
PR lifting: “What can we do to resurrect every old cliché about Russia
from the days of the Cold War? How can we make THEN seem like NOW? How
can we deliver the impression that our struggle against THE Evil Empire
never ended?”
Of
course, anyone who conveys even the vaguest suggestion that Putin isn’t
Hitler has to be called out as a sleeper-cell KGB agent from 1962 who
was just activated on orders from the Kremlin.
“His great-grandfather emigrated from Minsk. Case closed.”
The
Russian government IS an enemy. Of freedom. And if the US government
really stood for freedom, a sane person would have an argument to
make. But as we’ve recently seen---as if we needed further proof---and
here again I risk making you yawn at old stale news that no one cares
about anymore---as we’ve seen, the US government declaring a COVID state
of emergency and leading the way to a national LOCKDOWN (aka
imprisonment) of the American people showed that freedom was the last
thing on its mind.
And
ON TOP OF THAT, because the pandemic was a fraudulent operation planned
in order to remove freedom, the true motive of the US government was
even more transparent.
Which is why COVID isn’t old news at all.
Which is why the WAR state of mind DOES function as a massive distraction from the COVID capital crime that is still ongoing.
Which is why you should not forget. Or forego. Or forgive.
“CNN,
MSNBC, FOX, take your nuclear terror propaganda and shove it. Look just
to your left. There’s a needle coming at your arm. It’s coming at our
arms, too. And it’s poisoned.”
That
concludes today’s episode of WHIPSAWED. How the PR industry shifts
minds from A to B. To discover whether you’re a rube and yokel and a
dupe, stop and THINK. It’s free.
