Is the Great Reset Failing? When Great Narratives Fall Apart Joaquin Flores The WEF’s newest release “The Great Narrative” with its fixation on ‘fake news’ is as much an admission of guilt as it is recognition of failure. A funny thing happens when corporate culture becomes indistinguishable from government culture. Corporatized governments promote and grant authority to those ‘ambitious’ individuals who can best over-sell and over-promise results. Think of unimpressive appointees like Trudeau, Ardern, Johnson, and Morrison. At first glance it doesn’t really matter that these aims are unattainable. But it does matter, because from it we can crystalize this axiom: the more impossible the dream, the more it promotes the likes Ardern, et al. As each one percent increase in unemployment sustained over a year creates  some thirty-six thousand ‘deaths of despair’ , a widely known and published fact, the shutting down of economies several years ago was going to cause millions of such deaths a

The Real Disinformation Agents: Watch as NBC News Tells Four Blatant Lies in a Two-Minute Clip The same corporate outlets that most vocally profess concern over disinformation are the ones spreading it most casually. NBC's Assange report is the perfect case study. Glenn Greenwald MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Claire McCaskill tell one lie after the next during a purported news report on the case of Julian Assange, Dec. 10, 2021 The war on "disinformation”  is now one of the highest priorities of the political and media establishment. It has become the foundational justification for imposing a regime of online censorship. Around the world,  new laws are being enacted  in its name to empower the state to regulate discourse. Exploiting this cause, a  small handful of billionaires  are working in unison with Western security state agencies — under the guise of neutral-sounding  names like The Atlantic Council  — to set the limits of permissible thought and decree what is true an

The Cynical and Dangerous Weaponization of the "White Supremacist" Label In dominant elite discourse, no evidence is needed to brand someone a "white supremacist." The belief that it will produce political or personal gain suffices.

Demonstrators from Black Lives Matter Louisville and Louisville 'Showing Up for Racial Justice' held the rally to refute the recent acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse, who claimed self defense after killing two protesters and injuring another on August 25, 2020 in Kenosha, Wisconsin. (Photo by Jon Cherry/Getty Images) Within hours of  the August 25, 2020, shootings in Kenosha, Wisconsin — not days, but hours — it was decreed as unquestioned fact in mainstream political and media circles that the shooter, Kyle Rittenhouse, was a "white supremacist.” Over the next fifteen m

Kyle Rittenhouse: Anatomy of a divisive distraction The teenager’s trial for double murder is a case study in how the media covers a story to distract and divide the public. Kit Knightly How many people reading this think that Kyle Rittenhouse is a white supremacist who shot three black people? Probably more than a few. The truth is that all three of the shooting victims were white. And yet, yesterday, on the day of the verdict being announced, the UK Independent ran this frontpage, describing the victims as black: This is after three weeks of a live-streamed trial in which  one of the victims had actually testified on the stand . Think about that, in the most high-profile trial for years, the press  can’t even be relied upon to get the race of the victims right. Is this an accident? Of course not. It’s all part of a disinformation campaign designed to turn one tragic violent incident into a narrative that serves a bigger agenda by further dividing the public into racial and political
