Deep State Empire's Narrative Control Has Five Distinct Elements

Excerpt:
"All of our world’s worst problems are created by the powerful. The powerful will keep creating those problems until ordinary people use their superior numbers to make them stop. Ordinary people don’t use their superior numbers to stop the powerful because the powerful are continuously manipulating people’s understanding of what’s going on.

Humans are storytelling creatures. If you can control the stories humans are telling themselves about the world, you control the humans, and you control the world.

Mental narrative plays a hugely prominent role in human experience; if you’ve ever tried to still your mind in meditation you know exactly what I’m talking about. Babbling thought stories dominate our experience of reality. It makes sense then that if you can influence those stories, you’re effectively influencing someone’s experience of reality."

    Great article by Caitlin Johnstone describing the use of power to spread ideas to solidify power. Her ideas here may not be new but they are well expressed.
    One example- how many of the population find it easy to accept and spread the popular stories/narratives as it allows us live without thinking.

    This post is underrated. This is one of her best articles. She hits the proverbial nail right on the head. I would equate this to the writings of the early revolutionary journalists. This needs to be circulated so that people recognize the manipulative nature of our so-called “Free Press”.
    I don’t always agree with Johnstone. But, her head is in the right place when it comes to the squelching of debate that we are seeing. Anyone who disagrees with the desired narrative is “Digitally Silenced”. Regardless of their ideology. Only ONE ideology matters to the powers that should NOT be.
