History is what happened. It cannot be changed. But it can be interpreted. For all but a tiny percentage of people they believe the versions they have been told. Facts are malleable. Data more so. Politicians lard their speeches with slogans and tropes and memes that reenforce in the public’s minds’ narratives which are almost impossible to countervail.
No matter with whom one is conversing, any attempt whatsoever to suggest there maybe an entirely different narrative, than the one collectively received, is met with the universally accepted narrative shared by more than 99% of society. People have lost the ability to reflect and ask questions.
There are there are no openings in closed minds. That is exactly what is intended by ruling elites. When has it not been so?
Every means of controlling what people accept — without question — as the ingrained narrative, is so deeply imbedded and entangled in every facet of their daily lives anything which does not fit their presumptions may as well not exist.
The state has a monopoly over the means of controlling the public’s every perception.
This begins with their parents whom already present a fabricated reality. Trusting one’s parents is not an active or a conscious decision made by one’s children. They have no defences at all. They are exposed every moment to a reality which is reenforced by the society which has birthed them. The masses is not a meme without consequences.
As naturally as breathing we survive by acknowledging the reality as given. Surprisingly this is a universal impulse and important to our survival. But it is a very primitive instinct. Not only do we believe things which are not in our best interests to believe but we want to believe them. Indeed even when it should be our main conscious effort to question whether there is a snake in the grass or not — which our distant antecedents ignored to their peril — we no longer accept this need to be alert; we have been brainwashed to accept there are no such thing as snakes. Worse even! …We have come to believe there is no grass either. Mass society is a dangerous jungle.
The state is the grass! The grass is full of snakes!
And to survive we are forced by custom to comply with the diktats as conceived by those with the power, money, and motivation to deceive us. Make no mistake though, our automatism and theirs is done, so to say,
mechanically. There is no overall mind controlling the entire ball of wax. But there are interests. We all have interests. Clearly we are easily seduced by the extant narrative.
For instance politicians naturally serve their own interests — first! Their success is your compliance. Their compliance is naturally expected by those pay them. Without their compliance they would never be preselected to represent a particular constituency where we vote.
What is worse, we so badly want to believe we are calculatingly seduced by methods applied by time tested methodologies. We believe the simplest drivel. When a politician says “Americans understand…” or “Canadians know…” followed by whatever trope is imbedded in the minds of the electorate they know mouthing these tropes before announcing the big lie always works.
“Canadians understand that the Liberal party have you backs, and that protecting society from those dastardly (people in trucks) whom are are a threat to democracy, must be muscled out of the way because they are threatening to overturn the government.”
Meanwhile the general public are led to believe that without the state flexing its muscles Canadians are in danger of losing their freedoms. Justin Trudeau is a bare faced liar. Yet the Liberals are no longer held to account by the fourth estate. The fourth estate has been bought by the state. The media is controlled by interests that conceal rather than expose. And politicians enabled foreign interests to own both Post Media and the Globe & Mail. The governing elites fund the CBC. Media serves oligarchic interests.
But try telling your neighbour that this media concentration is dangerous to their health. They have no idea that this is even a bad and dangerous threat to their family and their livelihood. Media is not your friend. Government is not your friend. But people obviously believe otherwise. Why? Because media simply reenforces the messaging their parents and grandparents represented to them. And the schools and advertising and movies and network news continue, without respite to endlessly echo.
Who wants their beliefs undermined? But if we do not work to defeat the tendency to concede our autonomy to the state we are doomed. And even when you stop believing you will be in the minority. We are easily seduced. We want to believe. We want our enemies to save us. How ignorant is that?
Trudeau and his propaganda newspapers are sure going after the Premier of Alberta . Trudeau is like a crime boss who breaks ever law to get what he wants. I won't be surprise if we read that the Premier of Alberta was tragically killed in a car accident one day.
One person posting here asks “What are you doing about it?” … Other than talking. Most people I talk with know something is wrong, but their complaints are about consequences, not causes. Why is Justin Trudeau an advocate of the New World Order and its proponents methods and aims.
Before anything can be done the beast has to be recognized. Before the beast can be recognized it has to be seen and acknowledged — and named. The beast hates the light.
Whom are they who have Justin Trudeau’s ear? Who is running Justin Trudeau? Why, when a pretty much senile president addressed parliament, did the entire component of people present there clap every time he opened his mouth.
Even when he espoused the trope that the Ukraine was being supported so as to fight for democracy. This after the U.S. destroyed democracy in the U.S.
Would Americans have supported every nasty manoeuvre promulgated in Congress over the past 100 years if they could have voted?
Would they have supported:
World War I?
World War II?
Korean War?
Vietnam War?
Gulf War I?
Gulf WarII?
Invasion of Libya?
Etc?
Polls said Americans’ would not have voted to make war.
And now, Canadians’, present in Parliament when President Biden showed, up clapped as you would expect dependents in a satrapy to do under the circumstances.
What has happened that Canadians suddenly love U.S. hegemony.
But who is running Joe Biden? Whom ever ‘they are’ they are running the United States and Canada into the ground!
The average ‘Joe’ is brainwashed. Mass media is controlled by a powerful tribe of people whose interests are diametrically opposed to the interests of American and Canadian citizens. The curriculum in our schools, from kindergarten to grade 12, is very carefully chosen and vetted before the school bells ring in the fall every year.
The United States and Canada both have founding documents which have been slowly vitiated. These founding documents elucidate for the citizens certain principles including references to ancient ones going back to Magna Carta which are continually denigrated. The United States and Canada are sovereign nations. Yet during the recent panic induced by our respective governments every principle of those founding documents was abrogated. Why?
Certainly extra sovereign influences controlled the citizens of our two sovereign nations. Joe Biden and Justin Trudeau are traitors. When entire populations are cowed by their elected representatives — they are still elected, even though pre-selected — into compliant behaviour achieved by threats, and coercion it is certain both the United States and Canada have been taken over by extra judicial fiat powers — while those powers have subordinated citizens rights in both countries.
This did not begin recently. In fact the American Revolution was a fight against those same powerful interests 250 years ago. Those today whom are promulgating the New World Order are Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden. They are promoters.
The proponents of the New World Order are determined to bring about their dystopian vision. Mass compliance run by oligarchic overlords. Is this what Americans and Canadians want?

My sister thinks Trudeau is handsome and wonderful, people love him. She is more dangerous that a nuclear bomb.
