Boycott the Gaslight Media and Save America

There is one major lesson that conservatives and frankly all Americans must learn: never accept at face value the reporting of any news event. By foolishly acquiescing to the version of a story put out by the denizens of the mainstream media, the citizenry allows the ruling oligarchy to set the narrative and exploit the inevitably fabricated incidents that further their cause. In place of “mainstream media,” they ought to be called Gaslight Media, for their role is not to report the truth, but rather to manipulate the public into a mental state conducive to obedience. As defined medically, gaslighting is:

…a form of psychological abuse where a person or group makes someone question their sanity, perception of reality, or memories. People experiencing gaslighting often feel confused, anxious, and unable to trust themselves.

These statists are aware that once their version of a story has been repeated ad nauseum for days or weeks the bulk of the populace will accept it as the truth, thus, achieving near-permanent status in the national discourse.

Every quasi-totalitarian movement in modern history has employed a Gaslight arm to further their aims and manipulate the masses. What was once a respected vehicle of newsgathering and reporting, the Gaslight Media, is now the full-throated disinformation ministry of the left-wing ruling oligarchy.

The most common thread throughout the history of those determined to achieve societal and governmental hegemony is the unabashed utilization of falsehoods that will aid in achieving their ends. The simple fact of the matter is the left lies. All who pledge fealty to any version of Marxism/socialism lie. Bootlickers currying favor from the ruling elites lie. Lying is the foundational principle of totalitarianism. A corollary of that principle is the deliberate misreporting of events to give voice to those lies.

Obama was the most elite of the Elite (in his mind). He was a true believer, but knew the Elite could live by different rules than the collective’s rank and file.

I disagree; he may have thought he was part of the “elite”, but once elected he was obviously a puppet for the monied elites. He entered office proclaiming he would uplift blacks while opposing “gay marriage”, and ended up watching blacks slide further behind everyone else (that is why Black Lies Matter started on his watch) while supporting “gay marriage”. The wars he spoke against continued (he even had his own troop surge), and by the time of the 2016 election he was not even a player anymore.

Not sure I understand what it is about my statement that you disagree with.

Here's my statement:

Obama was the most elite of the Elite (in his mind). He was a true believer, but knew the Elite could live by different rules than the collective’s rank and file.

BTW, there is nothing about communism that purports to want to "lift Blacks up." It is "equality" for the masses...and that doesn't mean lifting up anyone (except, of course, the Elites).

[kearnyirish2]

The fact that he was a “true believer”; you are right that his “elite” status is in his own mind.

[RoosterRedux]

I stand by my statement that Obama is a true believer in Marxism. There is nothing in Marxism that prohibits those at the top from living like or being elites.

[kearnyirish2]

You’re right about that; I was speaking about the whole agenda (he obviously doesn’t believe in global warming, which has taken on the mantle of global wealth redistribution). When tourist paradises are asking for more money because they are corrupt dumps politically, it is clearly a hoax.

[RoosterRedux]

Agreed.
