Control of the Narrative at any Cost. (Opinion)

 

The crackdown across western countries on free speech over the last three years is disturbing. Elon Musk’s release of the Twitter Files revealed security state actors and government officials requesting certain accounts be suspended for merely expressing different political views and criticism of governments. The FBI “requested” that the Hunter Laptop story be suppressed, calling it Russian propaganda.

For many people, the censorship of these true revelations about unethical business practices of the Biden’s, might well have turned the election against the Republicans, and the reelection of Donald Trump. This single example of suppression of a true story reveals the length the establishment will go to control public opinion. However, since the 2020 election, this draconian censorship has only gotten worse, resembling 1930’s Germany.  

 

The Russia/Ukraine war is another example of the establishment actors censoring any voice that questioned the mainstream narrative. Disinformation and misinformation including outright lies were promoted, while individual journalists, writers and political activist were silenced, smeared, and labelled Russian apologists.

In present time, considering Ukraine has been defeated, and Russia holding their borders, the false information of Ukranian supremacy continues, however, those who understand geopolitics, have realized this war is essentially over, and should have been stopped from the beginning. The neocon fanatics and their legacy media lapdogs pushed the lies, and currently hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians are dead, and all for nothing. 

 

The only people that gained from this war were the weapon manufacturers, corrupt politicians, and certain characters in the Zelensky regime, who are currently buying multi-million-dollar yachts and luxury homes in safe havens across the planet.  

 

Again, this war could have been stopped at the beginning, saving thousands of lives, but NATO, UK, France, and the US wanted to continue this proxy war to “weaken Russia.” As it turns out, Russia is currently stronger, economically, and otherwise, and Ukraine is in ruins.  

 

Excellent job assholes. Another American neocon war that has gone straight down the proverbial toilet. These warmongers are batting zero since the invasion of Iraq and the destruction of Libya. Though, strangely, their propaganda, misinformation, and control of the narrative, many people still believe the lies, while dissenting voices are silenced.  

 

Since October 7, 2023, free speech has gone straight out the window. Anyone, that is student, academic, journalist or politician who is pro-Palestinian, that is at least recognizing the context of the Hamas attacks are censored and smeared as antisemitic. These people are being cancelled at an alarming rate; losing their jobs and placed on terrorist lists.  

 

If you are only slightly aware of 20th century history, you have seen this type of behavior before. Academics losing their jobs, students placed on lists; bullying those that disagree with the establishment line are either censored or put in a position where they have lost their livelihood.  

 

We have moved into totalitarianism.  

 

The narrative must be controlled at any cost. To do this, censoring dissenting or different voices is paramount.  

 

Controlling the narrative is controlling the people.  

 

It is history repeating itself, and those in charge of the media, burning books or deplatforming those on social media, are hell-bent on destroying free speech.  

 

Those who control the narrative rule the world.
