The real world is as different from the propaganda world as it is from any work of fiction.<\/p>\n<p>*<\/p>\n<p>The CIA is officially forbidden to conduct operations in the US. What the CIA is not officially forbidden to do is hand an unscrupulous American news reporter a bombshell scoop about a foreign government which just so occurs to build a narrative in the US that advances CIA objectives.<\/p>\n<p>*<\/p>\n<p>That which has been presented without evidence may be dismissed without evidence. It applies to arguments, it applies to claims by US intelligence agencies.<\/p>\n<p>*<\/p>\n<p>Propaganda has distorted people\u2019s perception of reality so severely that Twitter cares more about musicians pulling their content from an app because they don\u2019t like a podcaster than the fact that the most powerful government in the world is flirting with nuclear war.<\/p>\n<p>*<\/p>\n<p>America\u2019s buddies Saudi Arabia and Israel have been bombing their neighbors constantly with extensive US support. The friendship between these nations and the US exists not in spite of their nonstop military butchery but exactly because of it.<\/p>\n<p>*<\/p>\n<p>If all the countries involved in a dispute say there won\u2019t be a war and only one country says that there will be, it\u2019s not hard to figure out who the aggressor and instigator is.<\/p>\n<p>*<\/p>\n<p>There are easily ten thousand issues in this world that are of greater concern than the fact that Russia annexed a small territory that overwhelmingly wanted to be annexed in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>*<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not that some people always side against the US, it\u2019s that they side against whatever side is in the wrong and that tends to be the most powerful and destructive regime in the world. If you don\u2019t think believe the US could be consistently on the wrong side of foreign policy disputes, it\u2019s because you\u2019ve been extensively propagandized about its behavior on the world stage.<\/p>\n<p>It can\u2019t rightly be called anti-US bias if your criticisms of the US are unassailably correct. You simply cannot dispute the fact that no other government is doing anything that rises anywhere near the level of depravity as spending the 21st century killing millions of human beings in wars of aggression. It\u2019s not that some people have some arbitrary grudge against the United States and frame alltheir positions on every issue to fit that bias, it\u2019s that the US really is quantifiably and demonstrably the most tyrannical government on earth by an extremely wide margin and thus naturally tends to be in the wrong.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-82474 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/propaganda.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/propaganda.jpg 720w, https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/propaganda-300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/propaganda-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The social engineers will always prefer to censor dissident voices online via algorithm manipulation rather than overt deplatforming when given the choice, simply because it silences a lot more people with a lot less public outcry.<\/p>\n<p>*<\/p>\n<p>If you agree with an ideological faction on every issue it\u2019s not because you share the same values and principles, it\u2019s because you suffer from a lack of values and principles. You\u2019re just a blind follower of the herd.<\/p>\n<p>*<\/p>\n<p>Gonna go get a degree from an Ivy League university and become a senior fellow at a prominent think tank so it can be made extremely intelligent observations like \u201c<em>Vladimir Putin is Adolf Hitler and Ukraine is Poland<\/em>\u201d and \u201c<em>Xi Jinping is Adolf Hitler and Taiwan is Poland<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>*<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re seeing the narrative that Tucker Carlson is a Russian agent aggressively pushed by mainstream pundits not to attack Carlson himself, but to manufacture the consensus that anyone who criticizes US policy on Russia is suspicious and untrustworthy.<\/p>\n<p>*<\/p>\n<p>If you get your information about the world from Tucker Carlson you\u2019re just as MSM-brainwashed as if you get your information about the world from Brian Stelter or Rachel Maddow. The brainwashing just occurs in slightly different ways. Sure Carlson might say true facts, but so does Anderson Cooper; they just tell different truths and different lies. Propaganda doesn\u2019t work if it\u2019s all bullshit all the time; there has to be some truth mixed in.<\/p>\n<p>The people in these mentions who regurgitate MSM talking points on China because they heard it from Tucker Carlson think they\u2019re so very different from the people in the mentions above who regurgitate MSM talking points on Russia because they heard it from Wolf Blitzer, but they\u2019re not. They\u2019re exactly the same.<\/p>\n<p>The TV man is not your friend.<\/p>\n<p>*<\/p>\n<p>If Russia was an actual threat they wouldn\u2019t have to keep lying about it all the time.<\/p>\n<p>*<\/p>\n<p>In ancient history our stress hormones were used on saber toothed tiger attacks. Now they\u2019re used on made-up conscient narrative fluff like whether we\u2019re adequate, what others think of us, a podcaster saying news we don\u2019t like, Vladimir Putin annexing Eastern Europe, or China taking over the world.<\/p>\n<p>*<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not legitimate to complain that people talk about problems without taking action or offering solutions. Spreading awareness that there\u2019s a problem is taking action toward a solution. All positive shifts in human behavior are always preceded by an increase in awareness.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re not going to get to solutions until a sufficiently large percentage of the populace understands and accepts that they are needed. Even if you do come up with the perfect solution on your own without the help of the collective, you won\u2019t have the numbers to enact it. Maybe you\u2019ve read a bunch of books and got a fancy degree and you\u2019ve come up with the perfect utopian model for society, but it\u2019s going to make jack dick difference if only you know it. People first need to understand that our current systems don\u2019t work, and then to understand why.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>yogaesoteric<br \/>\nMay 24, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s so much more to propaganda than just manufacturing consent for governments and wars.
