The War Against Us

Aldous Huxley must be spinning in his grave, “I told you so!”

Humankind learned the concept of manipulating or stealing the meaning of words and events with the first couple, Adam and Eve. You may recall that the great deceiver himself, clothed as a serpent, told Eve that if she ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, “you surely won’t die.” Of course, God had already warned them they surely would.  

Later, their two sons were in a field, and a jealous Cain murdered his younger brother Abel, and God asked him where his brother was. Cain would’ve made a perfect politician – he answered, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”

The millennia have passed, but the first gadget used from the toolbox of scoundrels, thieves, murderers, despots, lawyers, politicians, and such is manipulating or stealing the meaning of words to escape responsibility. Or to shape an enemy’s identity by altering the sense of a term to make its use synonymous with some deceitful characteristic or event.

The absolute best technique is to change the drama’s set pieces – to create or rearrange a storyline, a narrative, or a series of fictitious situations to force a specific outcome. Once the narrative is in place, it becomes difficult to undo the lies – which is the whole point. 

These ancient practices are the high art form – the playbook- on the fascist-Marxist-Leninist arc of tyrannies. All through the twentieth century, beginning with Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro – it’s a very long list – up to today’s Putin and Xi, the godless totalitarians have polished the methodology of the big lie like silverware. They are hands-down the modern masters of stealing the language, agitprop, psyops, and stage-managing whole narratives.

Up is down, and down is up. Freedom is having nothing. Free speech is not being offended by someone else’s speech. The law is whatever it needs to be for expediency’s sake, and individuals should be presumed guilty until a crime is found or at least alleged. The rights of others rely on what a government or special interest group says they should be, which may change at any given time.

Studying the tactics of radicals, “social justice” movements, and communist brigades, you’ll notice that the go-to method for discrediting enemies is to “capture the narrative” and accuse them of doing what they themselves are guilty of. Fact and fiction are turned inside-out, and the language becomes weaponized for political combat.

These methods’ power is such that the socialist Democrat Party – home to Jefferson Davis, the Civil War, the KKK, Bull Conner, and the folks who stood against integration and busing (including Joe Biden in his Senate days) have managed to flip reality on its nose over the decades. Republicans, the Party of Lincoln, and the Emancipation are labeled in a never-ending narrative as “racists” and “white supremacists.” Neither word has any real meaning now. They’re thrown out like hand grenades to make a lot of noise and cause as much damage as possible.   

The radical left under its confused and addlepated leader, Joe Biden, has now graduated to crushing political dissent – and even churches and synagogues. Any spectrum of conservatism and its promotion of Constitutional liberty and its moral order, limited government, and individual rights is to be stamped out like a campfire.

After the non-stop four-year campaign – a rolling coup, the “pee-pee dossier and all – against Donald J. Trump and his defeat in an increasingly dubious election as the evidence dribbles out, the socialist Democrat government is in a manic fury, clearly insecure in their frail leader and his frail victory. They are threatening 234 years of constitutional government with recklessness. If history proves precedent, they will soon turn to forceful coercion. It’s what radicals always do every time they get power.

Listen to their language: Every Trump voter – half the population – must be “reprogrammed.” Conservative media must be “de-platformed.” “Since conservative speech is hate speech and lies, freedom of speech doesn’t protect it.” “They’re Nazis.” On and on they go.

Now we have the Department of Homeland Security (an oxymoron if there ever was one) sponsoring a public-private psyops operation named the Cyber Threat Intelligence League (CTIL), as reported by Debra Heine in American Greatness (here). And thanks to Elon Musk and whistleblowers that have come forward, we now have the memos and emails from the intelligence community, the FBI, DOD and from inside the White House itself working directly to control the “narrative” and block news events (most famously stories on Hunter Biden’s laptop prior to the 2020 election) and to collude with media platforms and other outlets to manage what gets into the public domain.

This is part and parcel of the larger “misinformation” and psyops war by the government on its own citizens – which always begs the question, determines what correct information is?

[Now, since the Patriot Act and the FISA Court’s never-ending renewals to the “temporary actions” enacted after 9-11, every single piece of electronic data on American citizens is collected by the massive intel dragnet in Utah there is the dramatically enhanced probability of show trials to come. Similar to the J-6 trials.]

As part of stealing the language and narrative, the left is never embarrassed by irony. For now, seven straight years, the radicals’ mantra was “Trump is a tyrant, a dictator, a fascist, an authoritarian, destroying the Constitution, a threat to democracy.” Yet, President Trump nor any conservative this writer knows of talked like this or proposed silencing the opposition or deprogramming political enemies.

What individual “right” did the evil orange man take away? What court did he defy? What democratic principle was run over? None, but that’s not the point.

Since the election, the “cancel culture” has morphed into the “kill culture” to destroy private lives and livelihoods using the courts – it’s called lawfare. The crime is an opinion that differs from what they hope will be a “permanent” radical socialist country – run by them, of course.  

Big business has now joined the parade. Employees who attend the wrong event or champion the incorrect virtue will not just be canceled. They will be fired. These corporations can’t take a chance anymore because the new meme is that the 74+ million Trump voters are “domestic terrorists,” “white supremacists,” “insurrectionists,” and “more dangerous than ISIS.” They are no longer words of specific meaning either.

They are words of cultural warfare – of public destruction. The words are meant to cower, to silence those millions of voices – half the voters. They are public enemies. And soon, the financial institutions and the IRS will be completely unsheathed to go after the wrong business, products, or politics.

 And, of course, they collectively hate God, there’s that.

It started some years ago with political correctness. You couldn’t use specific terms or iterations of words. Then the book-banning started – no Mark Twain, Margaret Mitchell, no Doctor Seuss. We had to trade in B.C., “before Christ,” for B.C., “before the common era.” It seemed we had to tear down every statue in the land.

Normal people laughed it off. But, suddenly, it’s not too funny.

The speed with which Big tech oligarchs and their social media monopolies, international corporations and billionaires, the corporate media-entertainment complex, elite political class, state-sponsored schools, and the vast administrative state coalesced is astonishing. It is one thing to write over the years about what the radicals would theoretically do with unchecked power and quite another to watch it happen in real-time.

It has become an openly incestuous relationship. They don’t care that you know – much less what you think. Each sector relies on the other to remain in power, prominence, or profit – one functions to offer legal standing and promotion, and the other the levers of finance, money, and power.  

It’s now a dangerous intercourse between big government, big tech, big media, academia, and now joined by big business. Isn’t that the actual definition of fascist? Aldous Huxley must be spinning in his grave, “I told you so!”
