Guest Post by Caitlin Johnstone
If you’ve got a gut feeling that your rulers are working to control your perception of the war in Ukraine, it is safe to trust that feeling.
If you feel like there’s been a concerted effort from the most powerful government and media institutions in the western world to manipulate your understanding of what’s going on with this war, it’s because that’s exactly what has been happening.
If you can’t recall ever seeing such intense mass media spin about a war before, it’s because you haven’t.
If you get the distinct impression that this may be the most aggressively perception-managed and psyop-intensive war in human history, it’s because it is.
If it looks like Silicon Valley platforms are controlling the content that people see to give them a perspective on this war that is wildly biased in favor of the US narrative, it’s because that is indeed the case.
If it seems like a suspicious coincidence that Russiagate manufactured mainstream consent for all the same shady agendas we’re seeing ramped up now like cold war brinkmanship against Moscow, internet censorship, and being constantly lied to by the mass media for the greater good, it’s because it is a mighty suspicious coincidence.
If it seems weird to you that so many self-styled leftists are responding to this war by fanatically supporting the extremely dangerous unipolarist geostrategic agendas of the most powerful empire that has ever existed, that’s because it is weird. Really, really, really weird.

If it seems a bit hypocritical to you that the empire is blasting us in the face all day with narratives alleging Russian war crimes while that same empire is imprisoning a journalist for exposing its war crimes, that’s because it absolutely is hypocritical.
If something looks wrong about the fact that we’re about to watch a judge sign off on Julian Assange’s extradition to the United States for practicing journalism while that same United States keeps pushing out narratives about the need to protect Ukraine’s freedom and democracy, that’s because it should.
If you’re beginning to get the nagging sense that the mainstream consensus worldview is a construct manufactured by the powerful, for the powerful and everything you were taught about your nation, your government and your world is a lie, that’s definitely a possibility worth considering.
If it’s starting to seem like we’re all being manipulated at mass scale to think, act and vote in a way which benefits a vast power structure that rules over us while hiding its true nature, I’d say that’s a thread worth pulling.
If you’ve a sneaking suspicion that the lies might go even deeper than that, right down to deceptions about who you fundamentally are and what this life is actually about, that suspicion is probably worth exploring.
If you’re feeling a bit like Keanu Reeves in the beginning of The Matrix right before the veil gets ripped away, I’d recommend following the white bunny and seeing how deep that rabbit hole goes.
If it has occurred to you that humanity needs to wake up from the matrix of illusion before our sociopathic rulers drive us to extinction via environmental catastrophe or nuclear armageddon, then your notes match my own.
If you believe it’s possible that these existential crises we’re fast approaching may be the catalyst we need to collectively rip the blindfold from our eyes and begin moving in a truth-based way upon this earth and creating a healthy world, then we are on the same page.
If there’s something in you that whispers there’s a good chance we make it despite the long odds we appear to be facing, I will tell you a secret: I hear it too.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended.

Not sure how to go about it Caitlin.
“swordsman was Peter and the victim was named Malchus (John 18:10)”
Cutting off an ear only to have Jesus heal it so close to the time of his crucifixion didn’t stop that. Which was necessary. For Our salvation, of course.
Closer to the end than ever. Question of time the only variable. “Only the Father knows.”
Not just with the war….
This guy talks about his 1 year vaccine “regretiversary”
The vaccine injured are literally up against the entire government, pharma industry, medical industry, mainstream media, big tech, and half the general public that all wish we would just shut up and die. We’re completely on our own.
I know a fellow who took those damned shots. His memory is very poor, and seems unable to have that spark of life as I call it. I’m 58 years old, and he seems many years past that since we’re the same age. It’s really sad how people believe everything that leads their lives to an early death.
It’s the new Greta. She had a yellow rain coat, he wears Military T-shirt, some costume too. She talked to all high ranking officials, as if they were little children, he is even more annoying. He even uninvited the German president. Both have access to the highest places, are omnipresent in the media.
If you want to figure out the lies we’re being told, just look at the various news programs. Listen and watch what they say, then believe what is opposite of what they’re saying. That is how bad our situation is.
If you read foreign news reports, you can understand who has stirred up the kettle. People here have been so brain-washed they actually believe we can defeat Russia in a full-blown world war. This is how serious our situation is. I tell people all the time that whatever you think of the year 2022, next year will be completely different and far worse than today. There are many many millions of people in America right now who won’t be alive within the next few years. Unless things change quickly, they will die in a storm of 10 million degree heat and fire.
