A lot of things happened as a result of the pandemic. The most critical thing in my mind was how the world was divided. Not by race, religion, age, sex, occupation, or party registration – despite many demographics working to divide us into tribal groups. There was a rise in global awareness of us versus them.
Every sort of person across the world confronted a planet-wide campaign of mass propaganda and coercion. This unified attack on bodily integrity, individualism, and choice, driven entirely by fear and mob tactics – though many were sugar-coated as empathy-entertainment – was almost impossible to ignore. The world was segregated into two classes without regard to any other feature of our lives.
One side demanded blind compliance; the other asked questions and defended the right to ask. The more the vaccine mandate side pushed, the more questions the other side wanted answered. Anyone who dared to respond outside the approved context was labeled a denier and their thoughts and words as misinformation.
Amidst this, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) grew a monster called The Trusted News Initiative (TNI). Its publicly stated goal is to control the news. To control what you see and, therefore, say and think. To define the truth you are permitted to believe while shushing conversations that wander outside their proscribed lines.
TNI members work together to build audience trust and to find solutions to tackle challenges of disinformation. By including media organisations and social media platforms, it is the only forum in the world of its kind designed to take on disinformation in real time
By “to take on” through censorship and cancel culture while you promote the agreed upon ‘voice’ through a global echo chamber regardless of the truth.
Much of the pandemic ‘science’ this global media cartel advocated has been debunked. The people asking questions were right; those who labeled them deniers or peddlers of misinformation were wrong. But still, they soldier on. In true New Speak (Orwell’s newspeak) fashion, they continue to coordinate across media (mainstream and social) to brute force the preferred language of the globalists into the mouths and minds of everyone.
Its advocates ape the agreed-upon authoritative messaging as its political arms legislate the new media dissidents and their audience out of business. And it is working. Only America has a First Amendment to protect free speech to which the balance of the Western World plays lip service. At the same time, the worst characteristics of Democracy limit the idea of open political expression and debate. The mob rule of the 51% seems more likely to side with them than us.
In its most basic form, Democracy is the right to say no. Yes, you won the election, but no, you cannot rob me of my right to disagree or speak my mind. But, those who dare to question continue to be suppressed by those who share the same messaging as the Globalist industrial complex – that cabal of elites, governments, and corporatists who are the ‘Them” in the Us vs. Them.
The not-so-much politically correct as politically correcting.
Without regard to skin color, faith, occupation, income, sex, gender, age, or any other characteristic, we must rally to defend the human right to be wrong so that we prevent them from securing a monopoly on deciding what is right. How do we do that? Keep asking questions. Challenge the political dogma and its orthodoxy. Refuse to allow your speech to be corralled or compelled. Defend free speech and expression. And yes, support independent media – but not just by donating, reading, or sharing. Put pressure on mainstream or corporate media, especially at the local level, to answer for their disinterest in the independent-minded dissident view.
Media mistrust is at an all-time high, but local media still enjoys some measure of credibility. Does it deserve it? Are they just local versions of the politically correcting ‘Them,’ or do they wander off the plantations defined by groups like TNI? Do they or have they reported the dissenting side? Through most of COVID, they did not, even after months of credible challenges that were correct.
So, what makes you think they’re not doing the same thing with the rest of the news, and are you prepared to call them out on it?
We are, and we’d love your help.
