Somewhere between the arrest of Jeffrey Epstein and his extremely suspicious death in a Department of Justice operated prison, the public learned that an FBI intelligence bulletin published by the bureau’s Phoenix field office mentioned for the first time that conspiracy theories pose a domestic terrorism threat. This was followed up last week by a Bloomberg article discussing a new project by the U.S. military (DARPA) to identify fake news and disinformation.
We learned:
Fake news and social media posts are such a threat to U.S. security that the Defense Department is launching a project to repel “large-scale, automated disinformation attacks,” as the top Republican in Congress blocks efforts to protect the integrity of elections.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency wants custom software that can unearth fakes hidden among more than 500,000 stories, photos, videos and audio clips. If successful, the system after four years of trials may expand to detect malicious intent and prevent viral fake news from polarizing society.
Recall that after the 2016 election, focus was on social media companies and we saw tremendous pressure placed on these platforms by national security state politicians and distressed Democrats to “do something” about the supposed fake news epidemic. Fast forward three years and it’s now apparently the U.S. military’s job to police human content on the internet. This is the sort of natural regression a society will witness so long as it puts up with incremental censorship and the demonization of any thought which goes against the official narrative.
Before we dissect what’s really going on, allow me to point out the glaringly obvious, which is that politicians, pundits, mass media and the U.S. military don’t actually care about the societal harm of fake news or conspiracy theories. We know this based on how the media sold government lies in order to advocate for the Iraq war, and how many of the biggest proponents of that blatant war crime have gone on to spectacularly lucrative careers in subsequent years. There were zero consequences, proving the point that this has nothing to do with the dangers of fake news or conspiracy theories, and everything to do with protecting the establishment grip on narrative creation and propagation.
The worst kinds of crimes are those which impact millions of people, but we never properly prosecute those crimes because it's billionaires and governments who commit them.

The above tweet summarizes what’s really going on. It’s a provable fact that the harm caused by some crazy person reacting to viral “fake news” on social media doesn’t compare with the destruction and criminality perpetrated by oligarchs like Jeffrey Epstein, or governments which destroy entire countries and murder millions without flinching. It’s the extremely wealthy and powerful, as a consequence of their societal status and influence, who are in a position to do the most harm. This isn’t debatable, yet the U.S. military and media don’t seem particularly bothered by this sort of thing. What really keeps them up at night is a realization that the powerless masses of humanity are suddenly talking to one another across borders and coming to their own conclusions about how the world works. You’re supposed to be told what to think, not to think for yourself.
This is what the power structure’s really worried about. It’s terrified that billions of people are now in direct, instantaneous communication with one another and thinking independently about world events. The mass media’s freakout over the election of Donald Trump was never rooted in concerns about the man and his specific policies. What really bothered them was his election proved they no longer matter. Enough people simply ignored the media’s instructions to suck it up and go vote for Hillary Clinton. This repudiation and loss of control was devastating and terrifying for U.S. media personalities and their bosses.
At this point, it’s important to note that what’s happening is exactly what you’d expect after half the people on earth come online and start talking to one another in the midst of an oligarch-fueled epidemic of gangsterism masquerading as democratic government. The advent of the internet created the conditions for cross-border, near instantaneous, peer-to-peer human communication for the first time in history.
We’re still in the very early stages of discovering what it means to live in such a world, but what you’d expect to emerge is precisely what we’ve seen. We see countless streams of diverse narratives emerging to explain what’s happening around us and how power really operates. Humans are no longer accepting the narratives force-fed to them via mass media channels, and are instead talking directly to one another and creating their own narratives. This is exactly how it should be.
Meanwhile, into this increasingly disruptive environment comes the Epstein affair, which I consider another major inflection point in the public’s increased and justified cynicism about the establishment. While the mass media swallows the increasingly clownish official story hook, line and sinker, the public simply isn’t buying it according to recent polls. The most recent one from Emerson College showed that more people think he was murdered than think he committed suicide.
“For most of the last 50 years, 60-80% of the country believe in some form of JFK conspiracy theory.”
Similarly, more people think Epstein was murdered than think he committed suicide, yet mass media pretends these are fringe views. They are not fringe, they are mainstream. pic.twitter.com/a4kDBVucbH

Alternative narratives are openly, and often successfully, competing with the spoon-fed narratives of mass media. Increased numbers are coming to understand that those who craft official narratives (government, mass media, billionaires) have their own interests, and those interests are typically not aligned with the interests of most people. There’s no reason to trust anything mass media or government says, because both groups are dominated by proven liars and war mongers. This obviously doesn’t mean you should believe everything you read online, but we must maintain perspective. Fake news from powerless citizens doesn’t compete with fake news from the government when it comes to disastrous consequences, yet the focus is always centered on the former and never the latter.
There’s a reason the U.S. military is suddenly talking about fighting fake news and disinformation, and the reason is the power structure is terrified of humans talking to each other and coming to their own conclusions. Moreover, this isn’t limited to an interpretation of world events. The emergence and success of Bitcoin represents a global movement of humans propagating an alternative narrative about money, how it could and how it should work. The longer human beings are allowed to freely talk to one another, the more likely they are to reject official narratives and shape society in a more sane manner. This represents an existential threat to the power structure. And they know it.
It’s also why CNN anchor Chris Cuomo instructed his viewers to not pay attention to those who were closest to Jeffrey Epstein.
Most of you understand CNN is status quo protecting garbage, but I need to highlight the following clip. This is by @ChrisCuomo, watch as he instructs viewers not to focus on who was close friends with Epstein. You cannot make this up:https://t.co/r02kK9wSrr

Now the good news. I think the cat’s already out of the bag. People aren’t going back to simply swallowing official narratives regurgitated by some television mannequin with makeup and an expensive suit who’s being paid by a billionaire. This doesn’t mean there won’t be a fight; in fact, we’re already in it.
Going forward, I suspect the narrative managers will more aggressively label anyone who doesn’t toe the official line as somehow linked to or sympathetic with foreign governments. They won’t offer any proof, but they’ll claim it authoritatively. This will become an increasingly potent weapon as governments begin to more intensely scapegoat foreign nations as the root of all our problems. We’ve already seen this since the 2016 election, but I expect it to increase in frequency and force.
As such, it’s going to be increasingly important for all of us to retain control of our minds and emotions as much as possible. We must never forget the importance of critical thinking, and must adamantly defend the right of humans to talk to one another freely and come to our own conclusions. We must never forget how preposterous it is to assume media giants owned by billionaires have any interest in telling us the truth about anything.
So keep writing, keep talking, keep thinking and never lose sight of the big picture. We have the power to create our own narratives, and with it, a much better future for generations to come.

It gives me hope to see that Liberty Blitzkrieg has the power to create an intelligent, informed narrative on its own volition. This was an inspiring read!
This is just the paid help enforcing the dominance of those that run the world from the back room. By focusing on the help’s latest operational obscenity we neglect to formalize this over arching situation. From the persistent and general direction of operational substance we MUST surmise that the help is wholly in the service of the back room controllers and the only way they can implement their wares is through legal slight of hand that has been laid like a forgery over the previous existing nation state that has a constitution which protects the people from that state’s government. This original situation MUST no longer apply for the hired help to be able to even contemplate such actions and to not be charged with treason and hung from the neck until dead or WHY.
Other instances of legal outcomes tends to support this thesis as courts no longer entertain appeals on constitutional grounds but now only look at the relevance of a case as based in uniform commercial code.
What is needed is some legal beagle to actually find out what the government of the USA is the government of and who exactly is the US of A if it is not the original US of A with its Constitution. It is my guess that a corporate substitute has been ingratiated as a false replacement for the original. This situation was uncovered in Australia in 2013 when two entities were found to be in existence. The original Commonwealth of Australia and its legally and duly appointed “Parliament of the Commonwealth…” and a new entity with a fake approval for a government of Australia, a corporate entity registered with the SEC in Washington D.C with its new logo registered with the US Patents office in D.C….
Time is extremely short as most ‘nation states’ are insolvent and awaiting bankruptcy proceedings and foreclosure, if not already accomplished? The same holds true for almost every commercial bank on the planet and these issue money….money that should be ours but was granted to the bankers to create in their own interests and against everyone else’s.
Unless we can get to the actual LEGAL slight of hand narrative that has taken place, some call it the truth, then we will continue to shadow box with the shadows projected for this amusement by the pirates and their legal counsel that have so it appears actually enslaved the world population through legalese. They have conspired to kill hundreds of millions of us. It has been reported that in private conversations they refer to the public as the ‘Dead” for our lack of knowledge and spirituality and so no consideration of what happens to us matters a wink or a nod. This seems to also hold true.
Of any media presentation you should always ask yourself 1/ WHY THIS? 2/WHY NOW? and 3/WHY IN THIS WAY?
1/ Of the billions of newsworthy daily events in the world, why do they consider this one more important than any other?
2/ Why for instance is “censorship” an important issue NOW (for them)?
3/ Why do they support or disparage the occurrence ?
I think Michael is right in detecting an increasing instinctive awareness of the falsity of propaganda, and yet with the assistance of AI, it gets ever harder to detect where it lurks.
I remember a speech by Arundhati Roy maybe 15 years ago where she said the goal should be to break power into smaller and smaller units. She was right then and even more so now. The coming years will be defined by the struggle to weaken the establishment grip here in the US and around the world.
More people have commented that both the US and China appear likely to break into pieces at some point. I think the US splits into several pieces and China would lose Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong, and maybe more. The USSR’s fate will be shared by many others, and rightfully so. People in Kansas know that DC, New York, and LA don’t represent them, and by now everyone should know that the banking elite doesn’t represent anyone but themselves.
The transition will be painful for many but will be glorious to see. It needs to happen and ultimately it’s good for humanity. I support Hong Kong, Brexiteers, and any other separatists who want to chip away at centralization, and I hope others do too.
The core issue behind this planned attack on free speech is the elites fear of losing their ability to abuse power at the expense of the general public. However the cat is out of the bag as there is now even a business case that focusing on the application of power is the most important issue that organisations can address in their desire for higher profits. I covered this in the following article. https://toughnickel.com/business/The-application-of-power-in-organisations
If you look into the fall of many nations along the course of history, you will quickly realize what’s going on here ….fits the pattern perfectly!
I guess the real question we have to ask ourselves going forward is , Do governments care about scociety or simply their own self interests ?
If your are truly honest with yourself, I believe you will /can only come to the obvious conclusion! ….. it’s a tragic part of the rise & fall of what is loosely call “ Democracy “ it is nothing more than an illusion wrapped up in an enigma.
“Can’t stop the message”
Can’t stop Liberty
Remember that big lie you told as a kid, or the one your classmate was always spouting off about, the one you couldn’t keep straight and was always changing, the one you knew was total bull shit. That’s pretty much U.S. history (empires history), all those things we were taught about in school, the land of the free and the home of the brave, we the people, liberty and justice for all. These are all beautiful things to aim for, but the facts point to these being just lip service to Nobel causes, in reality Greed and want of power, lust for domination and control, these are the true America deeds, our actions have spoken louder than our words. You can’t liberate people with bombs, you can’t free people with debt. We reap our seeds of destruction sown, debasement, decay and death! May liberty again rise from the ashes of the dying empire, let man finally rise from his ignorance.
The media hasn’t mattered to me since the mid 1990’s. There are fewer and fewer institutions and powers to trust. The US has become totally corrupt in government and business and much in-between. You are right that thinking just might be banned in the future.
There is an old Oracular joke about belief and trust – “There are 3 phases in a man’s life. 1/ He believes in Santa clause. 2/ He does not believe in Santa clause. 3/ He is Santa clause. “
This is a truly interesting interview from 2002 in Canada.
https://www.globalresearch.ca/911-and-drug-money/5688224
In it, Michael C. Ruppert gets a lot of what is coming correct. He saw the coming censorship by governments. He talks about loss of national sovereignty in Canada, whose police force believed the PROMIS software was backdoored by the CIA (around minute 29 in the interview). He frankly states that the USG is a criminal enterprise. It is very worth listening to.
I will also note the Canadian govt. flunky is trying to discredit him in exactly the ways that we see as normal in the year 2019. That’s really interesting as well!

Milgram and Zimbardo… and Bernays in the negative. There is nothing new in the propaganda business, merely the means to distribute it and surveil the population have increased with the internet.
You do know that Mr. Alphabet has brought his Chinese Dragonfly to the American party. And the Mockingbirds are doing their part to identify social-media malcontents for the purpose of ‘culling the herd’. There are fewer and fewer ‘fluoride-free thinkers’ today who can connect the dots like yourself. BTW, the Phoenix FBI office is now the home of Mrs. Andrew McCabe.
