The elites (for lack of a truly better word) are smug. They've waited decades to put things in order and the covid psyop has placed the world within the grasp of control. Right now, they are still evaluating the population in anticipation of exploring disagreement and resistance. The prospect is hardly pleasant, yet this bothers the elites not one whit. According to the Brownstone Institute, whatever information the public receives is already "distorted". I say it's propaganda, a lie. That is what distortion is. But here the author speaks the truth: "Dissidents are throttled, canceled, or banned. Government messaging is being rammed down our throats on platforms that we once believed to be user controlled." (1)
In the United States, most of us are so bright, we don't see the forest for the trees (on this point I am using sarcasm).
"History’s largest, most technically sophisticated, and most global campaign for censorship is underway now. Centuries of progress are being shredded by the day." Perhaps. Perhaps reality is worse than that.
The Brownstone Institute is right about this: "the purpose of censorship is not just to silence you, replacing your voice with that of tools and goons. Its purpose is to control people and lives, manage politics, and ultimately seize control of the social order." They claim to have evidence. Much of that evidence isn't needed for you have enough in front of you now. Yet I wonder how a government controlled tax-free organization can wield much power, or is this just another honeypot psyop? Who does a person believe in times such as these? Public institutions have disgraced themselves, and you can't trust what is seems to be true, because truth isn't in the possession of most men and women.
"Consider, for example, what’s called the Virality Project. It is among the most severe censorship initiatives. Led by the Stanford Internet Observatory, it brought together top universities, NGOs, and tech specialists to centrally coordinate the censorship of “anti-vaccine misinformation” within six of the most powerful social media platforms.
All of this was done within arm’s reach of government bureaucracies. The Twitter Files revealed that the Virality Project massively expanded the scope of “misinformation” to include “true stories,” “worrisome jokes,” and “asking questions.” "
Meanwhile, the mainstream media, the publicity arm of the "censorship industrial complex" is much of the problem. So is most social media, and will be used for the purpose and design of deception and propaganda. The corporate structure of the world is exactly what you should not trust. Anyone that sets themselves up as a corporation that is government-sanctioned is subject to the rules of governance, and will lose that privilege should they dissent beyond the tolerance of forces in place. It's sheer ugliness in the face of what used to be glorious freedom of speech that much praise was given to, until the shoe of oppression and deception dropped.
Those of us that are aware of the importance of what is happening need to be ready, and in the process of taking action. However, what public institutions you trust should be strictly limited. Many are at a disadvantage because of a lack of knowledge and connections. For now, it is important to know that the people are under the gun of oppression. Efforts at decentralization are underway, and the only immediate means of peer-to-peer connection I can think of is Bastyon. It cannot be censored, but everything online is subject to tampering as the government forces of fascist-socialist power close in on anyone or anything that opposes them.
The entire internet was once seen as an instrument of freedom. People have become addicted to it, perhaps by design. It has functioned and been paraded as a bastion of freedom - and until recently was seen this way. However, we know of the origins of the internet as academic and military. Perhaps this entire operation was designed to isolate and separate humanity in order to better control and subdue the population of the world as a "honeypot psyop". While I am not belaboring this idea, it must be reasonably considered that this behind-the-scenes planning has been going on for many decades at the least. The internet that once was seen as the proud source of innovation and freedom has been used as a tool for oppression and propaganda. It is up to existing key groups of people to continue the work in decentralization, peer-to-peer and a more secure web, if the internet is able to continue to be used as a tool for freedom. Meanwhile, anyone that opposes the elites must use what we have, while searching for better options. I will continue to do exactly that, and report back to you as possible.
