Normalizing Deceit

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

Here is the media’s uniform misrepresentation of a nonevent—“the white supremacist insurrection” at the Capitol:

“Years of white supremacy threats culminated in Capitol riots,” Associated Press, January 14, 2021

“White supremacist extremists are the nation’s deadliest terror threat,” Los Angeles Times, January 16, 2021

“The Capitol attack was White supremacy, plain and simple,” CNN, January 10, 2021

“White Riot,” New York Times, January 13, 2021

“The seditionists made clear what their attack was about: White supremacy,” Washington Post, January 15, 2021

“What the Capitol Insurgency Reveals about White Supremacy and Law Enforcement,” Brookings Institution, January 12, 2021

“The Capitol Riot Was an Attack on Multiracial Democracy,” Atlantic, January 7, 2021.

“Insurrection Day: When White Supremacist Terror Came to the US Capitol,” Guardian, January 9, 2021.

When the media lies like this, the media normalizes deceit, and the word “liar” loses its sting. Lying becomes part of the New Normal.

When government lies as well—Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction, Assyd’s use of chemical weapons, Iranian nukes, Russian invasions, Russiagate—lying becomes ubiquitous.  Truth becomes so discordant that truth is discarded.

Truth-tellers become dissident “conspiracy theorists” who are guilty of trying to shake the population’s confidence in the ruling lies.  They are censored, and if they persist they risk becoming labeled “domestic terrorists” and “enemies of democracy.”  Orwell’s 1984 is our reality.

Newspeak is used to restrict grammar and limit vocabulary in order to diminish the range of thought and communication. Thus, gender terms become impermissible, and language cannot be used to identify gender. The Democrat House has even passed House rules to this effect. A granddaughter is a grand-sibling, a stepbrother is a step-sibling, terms that obviously convey far less information.

Information-destroying language is now the requirement in universities also: https://www.rt.com/uk/517935-manchester-university-mocked-mother/ 

The feminization of university life and society in general results in feelings replacing reason, bringing an end to independent thought, which is confrontational.  “Tone” becomes more important than content.  With math and physics demonized as tools of white racism, society is on its way back to the dark ages.  (See  https://www.chroniclesmagazine.org/blog/an-unleashed-feminine-mystique-is-destroying-higher-education/ )

Liberalism is all about returning the human race to a feudal system in which the liberals are the royalty. They will lie, cheat, steal, murder, and anything else it takes to achieve their goals. Liberals at their core are psychopaths, with no conscience, morals, or ethics. When you begin to understand that, everything else makes sense.

Imagine how scary it must be in their heads. I would think it would propagate an adversarial attitude as everyone becomes a potential adversary. That must be why they get bonus points for adversity. Making for great diversity of mental illness.

I think the anti-Federalists would agree we are now seeing the original intent of the Constitution.

This is occurring across all Western nations. This is how the millions of foreign nationals are defended. You’re racist, et al.

BLM in and with the rioters in Portland, Seattle, Minnesota and Wisconsin have flown through our lives with NO FBI or DOJ multimillion dollar investigations. Killings, rioting, looting, destruction of property, assault on Police. No investigations. This Capital thing is a drop everything, spare no expense and send everyone to prison endeavor. Could the fact that almost everyone involved in the Capital event is White have anything to do with the great zeal?

If a true white supremest Movement was at work undermining American Society as the enormous bags of shit liars in the MSM want you to believe there would be ope warfare in the streets and a huge number of government officials from local state and federal would at the very least be in orange jumpsuits and leg irons or swinging from a rope after a Nuremberg style trial . The racial divide proclaimed and used as a tool of the true insurrectionists democrats or New NAZI party is a leftist plot to further divide this republic and true American Citizens Black Brown and White see thru this false socialist facade !
Do not get sucked in to the socialist implosion , they will take you down the drain and blame you as they circle the drain they created and if it suits their needs at the moment you as a useful idiot will be sacrificed !

They say this crap with a straight face while one of the BLM leaders stood next to Ashli Babbit while she was murdered by a Black immigrant cop. They don’t tell us the racial makeup of MAGA protesters because they conveniently get to call any non-white MAGAs White Supremacists too. The MSM gets to delegate “honorary whiteness”to any minority with the smarts to see what filth the left are.
The lamp posts cry out!

The tactic of making factionalized groups —blacks v. white –catholics v muslims—immigrants v natives–democrats v republicans, etc., is the MO that the CIA has developed and used in a multitude of foreign nations to instigate a coup. Ref.

Now here’s the transcript of the MUST VIEW video from our Yugoslavian Patriot.

video.

You are now seeing it up close in a globalist coup. John Perkins identifies the initiators. The essential step is national bankruptcy and Pelosi is well on the way.

The mainstream media are traitors. They all deserve to be hung. Of course the entire US government are also traitors, and deserve the same.
