“If you tell a lie big enough and
keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie
can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people
from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It
thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers
to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and
thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” Nazi Propagandist Joseph Goebbels
In
this age of propaganda and disinformation when mainstream media outlets
act as presstitutes for the corporatized federal government, there has
been an overt movement in recent years to label dissenters, patriots, government critics and even returning US soldiers from the warfronts
as potential homegrown terrorists. For decades the government and
co-opted mainstream media’s onetime favorite tactic heavy-handedly used
to customarily dismiss their critics was to simply label those exposing
government deception as “conspiracy theorists.” However, with distrust
mounting amongst Americans toward both their leaders (86% distrust government) and the media (over 60% little or no trust toward media), this strategy is no longer working because so many conspiracies have been proven to be real.
With a fascist state worried that its authority is fast slipping away
amongst its populace, today the stakes have never been higher. Slander,
character assassination and guilt by association
are increasingly utilized nowadays as favorite tools to systematically
destroy, discredit and demonize those citizens courageous enough to
speak the truth exposing government lies, deception, theft and
destruction.
Raising the stakes from the relative
benign label “conspiracy theorist” to “homegrown terrorist” reflects a
parallel process the US government has historically employed in
manufacturing convenient enemies as needed – Russia and China’s
expanding Communism from the 1950’s cold war through the 1980’s, to al
Qaeda’s expanding terrorism in the twenty-first century and now back to
Russia and China’s expanding imperialism all over again. The vicious
cycle locked by design in a forever do-loop as the same subversive
strategy remains unchanged throughout the years, only the names and
dates change as the government self-servingly sees fit. As long as there
are enemy targets to conveniently blame designed to induce fear and
elicit support from a dumbed down, brainwashed and powerless American
public, war and the military security complex will continue to flourish
on a perpetual permanency basis, of course at the expense of humanity
both domestically and globally.
