Truth often sounds like fiction, especially when it does not fit the listener’s model of the world and what they believe to be in the realm of possibility. If you lived in Germany in 1933, you might hear news the new chancellor, Adolf Hitler, was arresting political opponents and putting them in a newly built prison. Unless you knew those people personally, you might dismiss the news as a conspiracy theory designed to hurt Hitler. Later, in November of 1938, when you heard the news of Jews being rounded up and sent to the same prison, you might dismiss it as well. So the smoke screen worked.
Perhaps you heard Donald Trump report illegal immigrants are eating cats and animals in Springfield, Ohio. You may have scoffed at him as insane for bringing you that news, news a credible news agency should be covering. But, instead of investigating, the debate moderator from the ABC channel suggested to a national audience that Trump made it up. And Kamala Harris flashed a horrified, “you sad, insane old man” look in Trump’s direction. Just what the DNC ordered, but it’s far from the truth. Trump was right and he fell into the trap of sounding insane by reporting what is strange behavior, unless you are familiar with Haiti and voodoo. Facts are stranger than fiction. Haitians practicing voodoo actually drink the blood from the cats while they are alive until the cat dies from blood loss as part of a common Voodoo practice.
Now I sound insane.
Conspiracy identifiers’ claims sound so outlandish that they make them sound insane, and so the actual conspirators are given cover to continue their conspiracy. The conspirators are often the first to paint the person sounding an alarm as insane. Conspirators count on and tend to fuel disbelief as a smoke screen for their actions. Our cooperative mainstream media, who abandoned their role of investigating claims to determine truth, has placed our country in grave danger. They actively participate in silencing and mocking any party who steps in to fill their investigative role or alter the accepted narrative. When there is an absence of an inquisitive press to challenge authority and the official narrative, societies soon collapse or are overthrown by forces intent on seizing power.
In 2020, anyone criticizing Anthony Fauci’s mask mandate was called a conspiracy theorist. The medical paper claiming masks are effective against viruses was quickly debunked by peers in the medical field. The 3M N95 masks, so called because it filters up to 95% of the particles 300 nanometers in size or larger, could not stop the Covid virus that is three times smaller than 300 nanometers. The N95 is also usually worn with eye protection to protect the mucus membranes of the eyes from exposure. Fauci never suggested protecting the eyes. The blue masks worn by everyone are not at all effective and on their box clearly warns “not to be used for medical purposes”. But all these facts opposed Fauci’s mandate that the public follow his orders, and mentioning any of them got you labeled a radical conspiracy theorist by the mainstream press and banned from social media.
The Lancet retracted the article Fauci used as “fact” to remove Hydroxychloroquine from use on Covid-19. The press spread disinformation about Ivermectin, boiling this Noble Prize-winning drug down to a horse de-wormer. Yes, there is an equine version for that purpose, but like many drugs, Ivermectin does many things. Both drugs were effective against the virus, but they stood in the way of the FDA rules for Emergency Use Authorization of the new vaccines. Their presence as effective treatments meant Anthony Fauci couldn’t get Emergency Use Authorization to push an experimental “vaccine” to which he owns patient rights. With those two drugs out of the way, Fauci could proceed with his vaccine sales. The mainstream media played along with Fauci, ignored science, called anyone opposing Fauci’s vaccines and masking mandates conspiracy theorists who are anti-science, and collected millions in ad revenue from Pfizer. Meanwhile, Fauci didn’t treat one Covid patient, and attacked those leading the life-saving efforts and developing effective Covid treatment protocols. (Never forget the loved ones in nursing homes and hospitals unable to even touch their loved ones and dying alone because of Fauci’s lockdowns and arbitrary 6-foot rule.)
What has existed and is growing in strength is a manipulative mainstream media dedicated to serving its corporate and DNC interests. Gone is an objective, investigative mainstream media. In the case of Covid, mainstream media’s lack of investigation and questioning of the official narrative likely cost hundreds of thousands of lives, destroyed businesses, and created financial and emotional hardship for most of America.
In the case of the 2024 election, allowing mainstream media to misrepresent Trump and throw this Presidential election may cost millions of lives and our country. Trump’s report of illegal immigrant atrocities was accurate, but it counters Harris’s claims that all is well with her border policy that brought them here and her narrative that Americans are more dangerous than immigrants. Both stories ABC helped propagate. At this point, Americans are more dangerous – to Harris’s political pursuits – because they will likely oust her from office based on her performance as Vice President and Border Czar. Illegal immigrants are safer to her because they can stack the vote in her favor with illegal votes. But to suggest that this is her plan, despite strong evidence of DNC maneuvers to enable the cheat, makes me sound like a conspiracy theorist, doesn’t it?
The First Amendment recognizes our God-given right to freedom of speech and freedom of the press because the Founders understood the role of free communication in holding elected officials accountable. To its credit, the alternative media shines a light on issues affecting our freedom and allows Americans to engage in a national dialogue when the mainstream media seems intent on suppressing that dialogue. Americans of both parties should demand accountability and action from the mainstream media and an end to the censorship of alternative media and the dissenting American public.
There is quite a bit on that site which might interest you, most of which has been posted on FR, with the exception of that one. I’ve avoided it because of the accusation I might be “blog pimping.”
No, you’re wrong.
You’ve confused yourself, thinking the superficial aspects of culture are the same thing as fundamental, unchanging principles of truth and righteousness.
On principle, we have no differences with the Founders of our nation.
How is this for a conspiracy.
The deep state declares a pandemic.
Pfizer comes up with the the “cure”.
Pfizer gets paid big bucks from the deep state.
Pfizer makes huge contributions to the deep state.
Funeral directors get a huge boost in business along with casket makers.
All along the chain, dems get big bucks from the process.
Read later. I was hoping this was proof that Haitians are eating Springfield, Ohio pets.
