Authored by Michael Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
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 another 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.

Government censorship plain and simple. The notion that the Pentagon should even be involved in this process is ridiculous. Please give it up.
“The Pentagon” in the form of some nobody Air Force Captain, got on the boob tube back in 1999 and ruled JFK Jr.’s plane crash pilot error before the bodies were fished out of the water.
Since when does the Pentagon speculate about civilian small plane crashes that the FAA hasn’t even begun to investigate?

Don’t trust the right or the left… Chip
Call them what they are, communists, who want to rule by force (mostly on the left but many also on the right). They are like the Borg, if you’ve ever seen Star Trek the Next Generation. You will be assimilated, you will act and think like them, or you will be destroyed…
Some of us haven’t believed the government for a long time now-In my case 30 years.
I swear to you, people are still talking about working within the system!
I’m not kidding. Using voting and the legal system to jail to the bad guys and bring about change “without societal collapse.”
Shit like testifying in front of CONgress that their Q-tard Pieces of Eight Chan website is good, bad, or ugly!
I find it endlessly perplexing. How can intelligent people (in plenty of cases much more so than I) who are so fucking stupid when it comes to lying politicians and the farce of voting? It just has to come down to the ability to think critically. Perhaps people find an attitude that questions ‘authority’ just too high a bar to jump. It must be grounded in faith-believe or burn in hell for an eternity. A pretty intimidating bullshit story that works all too well. And THEY know it.
IQ and common sense are two totally separate things Look at the lives of many socalled genius’
Many of us learned critical thinking from our parents and teachers. Those of us who went to college 40+ years ago also learned it from many of our professors.
Schools no longer teach critical thinking, as it does not fit into the “teach to the test” method that has overtaken most public indoctrination centers and Colleges/Universities have become centers for group think.
I like Mike, but if he is suggesting Federal voting has any integrity whatsoever, and that boxes of votes aren’t just dumped in the river or left in rental cars, well, then I don’t need to read much more.
Whether or not voting is influenced by Google or Russia is POSITIVELY BESIDE THE POINT.
Voting hasn’t mattered one whit, except as pageantry and theater, in a century.
No need to tamper with votes when you’ve already rigged the system by owning/controlling the “chosen ones” of both Private Clubs.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, just being registered to vote DOESN’T mean you are actually a MEMBER of the “party”. It’s a big club and you and I ain’t in it.
registering to vote means you get to be picked for jury duty, there is no other reason for it.
There making a list, checking it twice, gonna find out who owns a firearm tonight,
SatanClaws is coming for you.
I agree with BB, they are Luciferians.
It started in israel…look up “IDF unit 8200.
This is a disinformation unit run by the israeli military which has its tentacles in the internet. This “unit” among other israeli operations is used to monitor social media, blogs, and other internet outlets for anti-israel viewpoints and attempts to “shut them down”.
Attention, unit 8200 and other jewish disinformation agencies…”the goyim know”…
Ahh yes the Hasbara bros
epstein is still alive and in israel.
After his successful “facial reconstruction” he will be free to continue his “trade”, albeit with a different identity.
I feel sorry for the poor “sap” who “took one for the team” being used as a “body double” for epstein. He probably was an inmate with no living family or relatives…
Wonder if he got a penile enhancement while he was under the knife From therumors Ive heard he could use it
Due to bots on the horizon, we have to include the word (human) now. Never before was there a need as it was assumed. I have been daring to create narratives all my life in order to pull others back into what I consider to be realty and truth. I’m pretty sure I’m on the shit list.
REJECT NON-HUMAN THOUGHT
REJECT THEIR NARRATIVE
Lucifers and Man’s highest aspiration is free will typically apart from accountability or consequence.
Apart from God.
To be one’s own god and others.
To rule over one’s self and unfortunately over other’s either willingly or if necessary unwilling, by fear or coercion.
This is why we are where we are and apart from a personal faith/relationship with Jesus it is not going to end very well.
Yeah, that doesn’t sound right. Right now, “consensus”, “groupthink”, “popularity”, and “mindlessly following the crowd” are all trending on Yahoo!. Plus, after decades of the subliminal “obey” and “government is god” messages on the tv, i think its probably best if we let someone else tell us what to think. That’s why they have college right? So young people can be taught what to think? Surely its all for the best. Everyone says so.
A blatant violation of Posse Comitatus
Posse Comitatus…..turns out was signed into law by Rutherford B. Hayes. Just based on that dude’s name, seems like he should get credit for being the first black president.
Some people tell me to FO because the things I’m saying would get them in trouble at work. They are being Politically Correct Lickspittle, like Caspar Milquetoast, like letting a python wrap another coil around them. The fools won’t do anything now and won’t be able to do anything later; they want to avoid me but they make me want to spew.
I know what you mean Same with me It’s infuriating
If you dare to think anything contrary to the official narrative’, then you are either a Russian bot, a far right wing conspiracy theorist, or just an stupid uninformed rural white what has been tricked by one or both of the first two groups.
My thought is, they want to be ahead of the curve, when or if, some of the questionable practices of the State are revealed, so the stories can be squashed quickly.
“The most recent one from Emerson College showed that more people think he was murdered than think he committed suicide.”
It is all in how you ask the question. There is plenty of room [ 33% ] for those who suspect he is still alive some where recovering from facial surgery.
Put me down for one of the 33%
Mass stupidity got us into this mess, and only mass stupidity can get us out of it!
That makes sense in a karmic kinda way…
Considering being a patron of Kriegers now.
Hope I take the trash with me.
”it’s now apparently the U.S. military’s job to police human content on the internet.”
MAGA
They did such a good job on the War on Drugs!
