Truth Silenced

.

Imagine that you were raised in a world that was rather simple and basic.  In that world the earth’s weather changed, from hot to cold and from cold to hot, largely due to its global rotation and distance from the sun; gravity caused things of all sizes to go down rather than up; that boys meet girls and sometimes have babies to have more boys and girls [procreate] as a family; and right is good and evil is bad.  Those were your absolutes.  Those were the things that you believed would always be self-evident, that everyone, if not the vast majority of people would always agree on. Those were your truths.

Now, imagine that slowly but surely that you begin being taught that the earth was in critical danger that due to you and Man’s existence and use of modern tools of convenience such as, airplanes, Sport Utility Vehicles [SUVs], and electricity, was causing the premature catastrophic end to the earth within the next 10 to 20 years.  And you are told this seemingly every 10 to 20 years.  But, little question is put forth to whether those living in parts of the world where such technology does not exist are fearing the same fate? Now there are said to be over 200 different types of genders, not just that of boy and girl.  And those 200 plus genders supposedly can too have a family and create more of the 200 plus genders. And a boy or girl gender could wake up and decide to be one of the other 200 plus genders.  Genders are interchangeable and you can now choose which gender you want to be. But, seemingly this genetic phenomenon is only occurring in the human species.  And matters of right and wrong are now relative, depending on how you may feel or believe what right and wrong is at the moment.  And just before you think that you are going crazy, you look around, read the newspapers, and look at the institutions of supposed higher learning and they are largely going on cosigning and endorsing this “new truth”.  Even when you go to your elders they express little time or energy to overtly care to correct this “new truth”.

This is where we are now today.  Truth is on the moon.  Truth is relative.  Truth has no value. In America truth is no longer self-evident. The question that needs to be asked is how long can America stand as a nation that was established on the principles and tenets of Judaeo-Christianism and Divine Providence when the basic truth that there are just two genders – a boy and a girl – and that it is their union alone that is key to the growth of the human species and stable society; and that it can be replaced by a notion that there are over 200 genders and that any combination can procreate in a family with little to no resistance even from those who know the truth?

This nation has recently weathered four years of a well-coordinated effort to denounce a lawfully elected United States President.  He received no grace from the institutions of academia, the popular Media Complex, nor the Established Political Complex – in general.  This president was taken to the proverbial woodshed, stripped naked, and publicly flogged unlike any in recent history. There was seemingly nothing that he could do right according to the Media.  And by the fact that many Americans still get our opinions of the world shaped by the Media, the truths of the Media become the truths of a large swath of the masses.

Propaganda is defined in the Cambridge dictionary as, “information, ideas, opinions, or images, often only giving one part of an argument, that are broadcast, published, or in some other way spread with the intention of influencing people’s opinions.”  This marries perfectly to what was written in NAZI Germany’s Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf, “Propaganda must always address itself to the broad masses of the people. (…) All propaganda must be presented in a popular form and must fix its intellectual level so as not to be above the heads of the least intellectual of those to whom it is directed. (…) The art of propaganda consists precisely in being able to awaken the imagination of the public through an appeal to their feelings, in finding the appropriate psychological form that will arrest the attention and appeal to the hearts of the national masses. The broad masses of the people are not made up of diplomats or professors of public jurisprudence nor simply of persons who are able to form reasoned judgment in given cases, but a vacillating crowd of human children who are constantly wavering between one idea and another. (…) The great majority of a nation is so feminine in its character and outlook that its thought and conduct are ruled by sentiment rather than by sober reasoning. This sentiment, however, is not complex, but simple and consistent. It is not highly differentiated, but has only the negative and positive notions of love and hatred, right and wrong, truth and falsehood.” … “Propaganda must not investigate the truth objectively and, in so far as it is favourable to the other side, present it according to the theoretical rules of justice; yet it must present only that aspect of the truth which is favourable to its own side. (…) The receptive powers of the masses are very restricted, and their understanding is feeble. On the other hand, they quickly forget. Such being the case, all effective propaganda must be confined to a few bare essentials and those must be expressed as far as possible in stereotyped formulas. These slogans should be persistently repeated until the very last individual has come to grasp the idea that has been put forward. (…) Every change that is made in the subject of a propagandist message must always emphasize the same conclusion. The leading slogan must of course be illustrated in many ways and from several angles, but in the end one must always return to the assertion of the same formula. 

How else can anyone witness what is going on in the political realm today surrounding the most heavily watched and the most heavily participated  Presidential Election in U.S history, that ended with the incumbent who is responsible for getting U.S Citizens the largest tax cuts in recent history, the lowest unemployment [pre COVID-19], making the nation energy independent for the first time since before the Carter Administration, and reestablishing America and the United States as a nation of strength losing to someone who has been in national politics for 71 years, with 8 of those years – Joe Biden?   And as U.S Vice President of the previous Administration, Biden oversaw an America divided along ethnic lines like in no time since the fifties and sixties, ushered in “social justice” into the lexicon of the American people, and wanted us to believe that the best years of America was behind us.  Supposedly he received the most votes EVER! With the Establishment Media proclaiming that this is normal and there is nothing the least bit wrong, many of us in a purple haze agree.  Not only does many of the populous want to move on with the removal of the current president as of January 20th, 2021, many Establishment Politicians on both sides do too as well.

The Media has gone out of its way to crown themselves a new king, I mean President, for the people of the United States.  They constantly present Joe Biden as the new President, with all of the attachments of being the president.  Nevermind that it is not the Media who determines who wins an election, but the legislatures of the several States.  And maybe, more importantly, there is a lot of stench and process anomalies surrounding the voting process, with ballot counting inexplicably being suspending with Trump leading in just a couple of the most contentious States in the late hour that in the morning concluding with Joe Biden winning going away and Biden achieving feats of voting gymnastics that are head-scratching at the least, according to thefederalist.com. This plot sequence would make Martin Scorsese blush.   All of this is happening in the mix of 9 straight months of the Media attempting to convince us that not only does the COVID-19 virus kill people, but that it is so lethal that we dare not pass each other outside without a suffocating mask on.  Even though COVID-19 has been recorded as statistically being deadly to less than 5% of those who are infected and mainly those of us over 60 years of age.

The use of the Media as a tool to convince so many of us to jettison so many truths that we have known for millennia can be said to nothing short of stunningly remarkable.  And it is most troubling for a nation that is grounded in the belief of truth, morality, and justice. It has been noted throughout our nation’s history that we will do what is right and follow Truth, if we know what they are.  As an article in the washingtonexaminor.com reported, “Had voters known about troubling issues swirling around the Democrat and some of the successes of the Trump White House, including the Middle East peace deals, job growth, and energy independence, enough people would have turned away from Biden to give Trump 311 Electoral Votes, more than enough to win, said the polls shared with Secrets.”  And the westernjournal.com reported that, “As many as 17 percent of those who voted for Democrat Joe Biden might have chosen differently at the polls, had they been given fair media coverage of the candidates in the weeks leading up to the election, according to a report.”

It is not my intention to make this about whether Donald Trump is re-elected as U.S President or not the issue.  He is not.  What is the fundamental issue is who disseminates the truth and how can we determine what real truth is?.  And more importantly, do we any longer care what truth is?.  Do we care more about being popular, getting along, and being part of the crowd more than defending what is right over wrong? The simple question to ask to reveal fairness is to ask, If the main roles were reversed, and the outcome was the same, would the reaction of the Media and observers be the same? If the answer is “yes” then no problem.  But if the answer is “no” then there is a problem.

Media has been used to mentally manipulate populations for good and bad purposes since man could speak and write.  But I believe that the Orwellian use of legitimate social information platforms, such as Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook along with more traditional information sources in print media to covertly force compliance and conformity that could not be likely achieved if done straightforwardly that is the most threatening to those of us who seek to be free and depend on the free dissemination of information, particularly when it comes to the actions and motives of the government. The most passive observer could say that if what Social Media and traditional media platforms and outlets are doing is illegal they would not be allowed to do it.  If receiving reported truckloads of ballots in the early morning to be counted was illegal it would not be allowed to happen. The government, someone would stop them. Right?. Right? Let us remember that Martin Luther King pointed out memorably, “Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.”

The uncomfortable question that we must ask ourselves is, If the Media can get so many people of a nation that is grounded in the principles and belief that a man is a man and that a woman is a woman and that there are just two genders to move so dramatically to reject those well-established truths, what else is available to the Wizard behind the curtain to reconform our truths?.  The whole very notion of self-evident right and wrong and absolute truth is abolished.  Can America withstand such a world as an America that we could recognize – united? The day we see truth and cease to speak is the day we begin to die. – Martin Luther King, Jr.
