(To the tune of Loch Lomond)
By yon daily papers, and by yon TV channels,
Where the bright light of truth never ventures,
Where me and my true love were ever wont to view,
In our bonnie carefree youth of fond memory.
Chorus:
Oh ye'll tak' the mainstream,
an' I'll tak' the low stream,
an' I'll see the truth long afore ye,
but me an' my true love ne'er watch entwined again,
for the narratives and lies now repel me.
Yes there's more verses where that came from, but sufficient unto the day is the doggerel thereof!
We are at war, a war for our hearts and minds, driven not by battles (at least not yet for the British, although if some EU / UK politicians have their way, these may come too) but by narratives, outright lies, and psychological operations, all designed to condition the public to accept whatever ideas the government needs them to accept in order to send them to war.
It's called propaganda - lies, repeated sufficiently and frequently enough by those sources considered authoritative, become "the truth" in the public consciousness. The "Global Warming" scam illustrates this perfectly.
And the lies can be seared into the collective consciousness by staged false flag events (eg: the Gulf of Tonkin "attack" for the Vietnam war, the 9/11 TwinTowers event blamed on Osama Bin Laden, and the London Underground bombing, both allegedly staged to stir public opinion to accept the disastrous "War on Terror".
The current war, this time for our unthinking compliance and if necessary co-option into the military and war with Russia, has been labelled by some as a "5G" war, although in truth the first casualty of any war is inevitably the truth.
Both sides to the conflict must motivate their forces by any means available to make the required sacrifices, to engage in the horrifying task of killing the enemy, close-up if required, by any means available. And if they can't be killed, they must be demoralised, again by any means available.
What to do? Martin Geddes has some notes, gleaned the hard way from from his personal experience.
