I like to look at CNN (online, watching those jokers makes my mind nauseous) items to discern what the official "line" is on current events because the network attempts to appeal to a wide audience.
There is a piece about how Trump "cozies" up to dictators. I didn't read it because I can write it--I know the "line." Suddenly Trump decides, since he is Hitler according to the Democrats, to make friends with "dictators" (dictators are any foreign leader the US ruling class doesn't like for some reason) i.e., there is no actual criteria for the term "dictator" other than that. Though Putin just got re-elected by elections that appeared to objective reporters as reasonably honest he is a dictator because, well, like Trump, he is Hitler. Assad, when he became an "enemy" became a dictator despite the fact they do have elections and Assad, by all opinion polls is very popular among Syrians as Putin is among Russians--still they are dictators just because. Iran, similarly has a transparent election system that is limited by it religious organization, still the choice for Iranians is equivalent to the kind of choices we have in this country yet Iran is a dictatorship just because. Yet, the Saudi King is not a dictator because he is our guy.
When Chavez was President of Venezuela he was a dictator despite the fact his elections were clear and honest according to many international observers but he and Maduro are still dictators just because they don't follow orders from Washington like the rest of the Empire--oh and just because the USA has troops stationed around the world in half the countries of the world doesn't make the USA an Empire, just because--you know, we are the "leader of the free world" a term that is undefined and means, essentially, the Empire, the new Rome.
What is deeply amusing is that the USA has usually supported dictators throughout the world when it was in the interest of Empire (Empire started, haltingly, after WWII and took off afterwards). Honest Presidents or leaders become dictators very quickly--look at Noriega in Panama. They loved him then they didn't--what happened? I leave that up to you to find out. Saddam Hussein was supported by the US during its war with Iran--then, all of a sudden he was an evil dictator who must be crushed--what happened?
Since Americans forget the past as quickly as it happened we won't keep in mind the flow of history. We won't connect dots and when we do we're called "conspiracy theorists" despite the fact that, as history shows us, conspiracies are the mother's milk of politics and constant whenever a lot is at stake. Without any particulars I can assure you there are dozens of conspiracies going on today, as I write this, in Washington and elsewhere; most are fairly innocuous but some very consequential--any real student of history knows this but few contemporary historians dare write about it since publishers and universities have grown very skittish these days.
Anyway, the key to understanding the mainstream is to understand that media is meant to get you to buy products, services, ideologies, histories (almost always false), twisting and torturing reality to fit a Narrative, make you think up is down and down is up. Can I prove it? You betcha. I've tried to do that in my posts. One of the things most Americans even dissidents like me, seem to refuse to admit is that people are not motivated by "facts" or tangible reality tested through scientific rigor but through mythology and mythology is used by the master persuaders whether they are called Donald Trump or PR/advertising experts to manipulate, not our conscious minds, but our unconscious--and this is precisely the reason why Americans are so laughingly gullible--we mainly don't want to admit the existence of the unconscious.
Literally, when I talk about the unconscious and how it works as a result of my studies, people's mouths either actually gape or their minds do--mainly they won't believe it. I may be watching TV with someone and a commercial comes on and I show them what the objects in the ad symbolize and how they are trying to manipulate us--but most people don't see how the could be manipulated by them. Yet, the reality is that when people are in a store they pick up a product that's been advertised and they buy it because it just feels right, never thinking of the commercial they've watched a dozen times--but that commercial was ENGINEERED to do just that to suggestible (we are all that to some degree) people particularly those who are suggestible and open to a mild state of hypnosis. Look at a video of hypnotists who make people do absurd things--look! That's the unconscious in action and hypnotizing people is actually not hard to do. If it didn't work why would businesses spend a shitload of money to produce these ads and advertising execs make unbelievable large sums of money?
I now command you to Wake Up and ignore all the suggestions that have infiltrated your mind NOW (fingers snap).
