I avoid msm for any information. The Israel/Gaza debacle can only be explained by doing a very deep dive. And msm is NOT the place to dive.

Assume everything you read on bbccnn is a lie - except perhaps the sports scores.. and go from there.

But do not dismiss the msm altogether...

I sample headlines across a range of sources and countries ... when I spot a repetitive story with a similar stance... I can then identify the tracks of the global PR Team working out of the Ministry of Truth ... and I know I am being lied to ..

And I can then dismiss whatever explanation they have provided regarding the issue involved... helping narrow my search for what might be the true explanation.

They use the art of repetition on the public to get things to stick, this technique is never needed as the truth does not need to bombard the public 24/7.

This post will be definitely getting reposted. This message is what people need to hear because we live in a world CREATED BY PROPAGANDA!

I once heard “if you think the news is fake, wait till you find out about history.”

That’s what I write about on my stack. How to navigate this deception and illusion that infiltrates ALL aspects of our lives.

72 hour rule: wait a few days to see what develops Shake the media trees to see what falls out, read widely (always). and the old saying is more true than ever: Believe nothing you read and only half of what you see. With the advent of excellent deep fakes and AI we may no longer be able to believe anything we see either. I watched some "coverage" of the 1st day of the Israel/ Giza conflict the other day and they showed a brief bit of a tank moving through snow. That same clip showed helicopters being shot down but the plume of fire and smoke were identical = video game.

Emperor a very good guide to propoganda...how to defend yourself against it, and how to recognize when you see it. Keeper.

But your last two sentences were the best. : If you celebrated the attacks in Israel, you are a psychopath. If you called for Gaza to be wiped out and celebrated Israeli airstrikes on civilians, you are a psychopath.

It is really that simple.

We are all prisoners of our corrupt governments...who proclaim to be democratic all. ALL of us little people suffer at the hands of the elite psycopaths who care nothing for us.

I agree; there's no rightly sourced news which could justify taking one side or the other, they're actions are equally abhorrent. But does it not seem that the Israeli government, in giving its entire population over to Pfizer for medical experimentation, has done to its own people far more harm than anything that Hamas could ever do?

Expand full comment

What you describe by the last two sentences is that simple in my opinion however the second sentence can be a case of propaganda. Calling for Gaza to be wiped out and air strikes on civilians is your narrative. Calling for Hamas to be wiped out and air strikes on Hamas militants while trying to reduce any collateral damage and death is another narrative. Your narrative is trying to stir up feeling against any Israeli response.

It's not my narrative. I said if anyone said Gaza should be wiped out (which many have) then that is their narrative which is abhorrent.

Thanks for the tips so important to be aware of manipulation no matter the form. I took a journalism class in college several decades ago and one of the first lessons, after learning we should answer the five W’s in the first few sentences, was watch/avoid “emotional” words. We were told our job was to relay the facts which do not need emotion. We were given an assignment to find articles from the local newspaper ( LA Times) with any words that were superfluous to the information or used to engage emotions then we would be able to ascertain the impetus behind the writing. It did not take long even then and it taught 19 year old know it all me a valuable lesson that I have not forgotten and that I still use - find the trigger words and you will know where the bullet is aimed. I truly appreciated the insight and it definitely helped my critical thinking skills. I guess our professor was one of a rare breed of journalists for whom I am grateful.

why is any of it too horrendous to publish? horrors should not be cleaned up so we can talk about them nicely.

and just a reminder that propaganda started with religious myths used to forge the identities of all peoples. even the scandinavian democracies have constitutional monarchs who must also serve as heads of their official churches and whose prospective spouses--though invariably christian--must convert to the approvd sect.

human nature does not change. the tools to manipulate it do not change.

Because I don't particularly want to discuss whether a picture of a dead baby is AI generated or not. That feeds into the propaganda and the fact that any babies have died is horrendous enough.

The level of sophistication of the campaigns out of the Ministry of Truth is off the charts... layer upon layer upon layer...

In fact many of the Thought Leaders on the Covid Con ... are agents of the Ministry of Truth embedded here to run the A-Vaxxers around in circles... they drop truth bombs onto SS about the deadly effects of the vaccines ... knowing full well that Vaxxers will never read any of this...

This keeps the A-Vaxxers busy shouting OMG surely the mob must wake up!!! It is so obvious!!!!

This ensures that the A-Vaxxers never take any sort of action (e.g. violence) that might upset the plan...

SS serves as a method of allowing the A-Vaxxers to blow off steam -- rather than exploding....

Surely if the Ministry of Truth can control and force censorship on the major platforms such as FB and Google... they could censor SS... but they don't... of course they don't... they likely funded SS... anyone recall hearing of SS pre Covid?

YES! "horrors should NOT be cleaned up so we can talk about them nicely".

One of the reasons atrocities continue is that we "clean them up".

Perhaps if the media had published pictures of the dazed and bleeding victims of drunk drivers, since the advent of the automobile, might we not have 'done something about it'?

And if tens of thousands of pictures of dead and injured kids had saturated the "news" during the forever wars, might we not have asked the powers that be - "why are we doing this"?

Hiding the effects of our military efforts, whether by our own troops, or in the interminable proxy wars, just encourages *them* to continue.

After all, "there's no profit in peace".

I get your point but maybe that might just desensitise people even more? Like images of cancerous lungs on the back of fag packets - at first it was shocking, now nobody cares.

To chime in here: the pictures on packets of fags do nothing becuase they are not very relatable, and the health-hazards of smoking are not immediately felt, making them more abstract than real.

The death of a loved one is concrete, to the point a common response is "I just can't imagine", meaning emotional overload (not talking about people using such phrases for everything).

What would (maybe) work re: smoking is forcing someone to participate in an autopsy of a chainsmoker, forcing them to assist in opening the chest and plucking the lungs out. Then again, doctors and pathologists used to be smokers too.

The "rubbing your nose in it"-approach has merit, but it doesn't work on its own, was what I was trying to say.

I don't think it's entirely that simple, because most people aren't actual psychopaths

It would certainly be reasonable to say, "if you're celebrating the death and destruction of the side you've been told to hate, you are under the sway of propaganda (from psychopaths)".

NE, indeed propoganda exists, but this does not make a response of every declaration of war wrong. Your argument sounds like because propoganda exists, that it should make any and all wars unjustified. And if you are saying that real pictures of real injured children is corruptable, then I am afraid everything is corruptable. If everything is seen as propoganda, nothing is true--I refuse to go down this path--one should not get up and go to work in the morning if this is true. Limits need to drawn around this idea of propoganda and its up to every wise individual to understand when they are being lied to and manipulated.

NE, i worry about this because so many covid truthers are automatically questioning Israel is guilty of fabricating atrocities in order to justify the subsequent attacks on Gaza. This is occuring with many Substack authors. Its very disconcerning because I thought Covid truthers would have more common sense and wisdom. This is however exactly what leftists want to coerce more and more people to turn against Israel. The leftists hate Israel and in the same way they want to see the US and West's Judeo-Christian Capitalist foundations totally decapitated.

I don't particularly like the phrase 'covid truthers'. It feels almost cult like in the same way that claiming Fauci is The Science. But I guess if it just means searching for the truth about covid then it's just about acceptable!

I don't think there is anything wrong in questioning whether a false flag has occurred, especially if there are questionable facts. But if, after questioning, it turns out there was no false flag, then great (well still not great but you get my point). I don't see what the problem is with questioning, especially when there are so many questions that need answering.

I dont have problems with questioning, but i am seeing a knee jerk response by many well known substack and other authors, video producers who were correct on the side of covid (didnt use covid truther phrase per your concern :-))....automatically accusing Israel of allowing these atrocities to occur and now engaging in 'war crimes'. Its disconcerting to see this which to me shows there is an awful lot of anti-semitic biases in what were considered discerning people.

I'm not sure Israel is Israel in the sense that it was in the past, or Hamas, or Israeli Intelligence. We know that huge numbers of institutions and governments of nations and media are captured, that their allegiance is not to their citizens or customers, but to something else. That's proveable, the WHO for instance, what it once was, and what it is now. It is the halo effect of these institutions and media and organizations and nations, what they once were, that makes people think we live in the old world of discrete nodes, when in fact, we do not, with certainty in many cases. The US Congress, for instance, is captured by pharma and big oil, proveably. My governor in Michigan is loyal to Davos, not the citizens of Michigan. So my question then about any of these institutions or media or organizations is are they still organic, democratic, or do their allegiances lie elsewhere? During the Cold War, infiltration of national intel orgs was the prime directive. Has something infiltrated? Where do allegiances lie? It is like a meta thought process I think.

Cynthia, i think we witnessed in covid the globalization/corruption of many governmental institutions towards authoritarianistic behaviour. With WEF hive mind leadership infiltrated into many many countries around the world, this is why everything looks upside down,its because it is. As you say, the allegianges are towards global collectivism. We are witnessing the destruction of national sovereignty (why Trump was persecuted) and on the road to global government... ultimately going to result in a beast system as the bible prophesies will come with a universal marking system demanding total loyalty in order to participate in commerce of normal life. This is final destination of the trial balloon of the vax passport.

My mind opened up in early 2020 to what the "mass media" was. Before then, I thought it was casuallly corrupt here and there and occasionally biased. But the sheer organisational determination of "propaganda" unleashed in 2020 was so overwhelming, I shut it out completely.

We do not have a TV, stopped reading "major" publications since early 2020 and whenever I come across examples of what is happening in MSM, it just reconfirms that this is an apparatus that exists for nefarious purposes serving others. They are not even self-serving.

Thank you for this.
