The real question today is: How to navigate a world of disinformation, propaganda and lies to keep some kind of sanity?
The unfortunate answer is: You can't!
The reasons are complex, mostly because we are social animals and are consequently influenced by the people surrounding us, as well as society more broadly. It is in the end very hard to be right alone.
This is of course well known by now and people molding public opinion use and abuse this privilege by injecting their "truths" in the public debate, reverberating these truths with compliant Media channels, isolating "conspiracy" ideas and censoring the few dissenting opinions that gets through.
Earlier this century, there was a risk with the advent of the Internet that the system would "break" and that inconvenient facts would emerge without control.
The first counter-fire was 9/11, aiming to control the public discourse with a radical anti-terror policy. Who could openly support "terrorists"? And so, quickly independent countries where labeled "terrorist"; Sadam in Iraq, Kadaffi in Libya, Assad in Syria. The list would have gone on if the Russians had not said stop!
Then came Covid-19. With the virus, controlled narratives where accompanied by coercive measures. European governments were not certain that it was feasible until if was tested on a small scale early on in Italy without much fuss. The rest is history. Counterproductive lockdowns, useless mask mandates, endless restrictions which to some extent are still ongoing more than two years later and may never be rescinded.
And finally, perpetual war, 1984-like, where the enemy is ruthlessly demonized and the war engineered to go on permanently. Anybody in his right mind knows that Ukraine does not stand a snowball chance in hell against Russia and that the right course would be to negotiate and find a compromise. But it doesn't take much wit to understand that such a war has nothing to do with "winning" and everything to do with population control in the West. Energy rationing? Russia! Inflation? Russia! Food shortages? Russia! Now if the potential consequences were not so dramatic, China would be a much more worthy adversary...
But control, even absolute, is not enough, you also need to mold the world into something new, more to your liking... like the agenda 2030, but without completely crashing the system.
That won't be an easy task. Freedoms have to be extinguished, rationing must become permanent, hatred must be directed away from those who profit and toward an external, permanent enemy,
Most importantly, those who implement such a system must not realize that they too eventually will become victim of the social order they are helping implement.
This is why, most politicians these days are either global fanatics like Macron in France or Trudeau in Canada, or imbeciles like Biden or Kamala Harris. Their job has nothing left to do with deciding anything, just public relations and image management like Ukraine's Zelensky, a professional actor with Twitter-long statements and haranguing: "Hasta la vista, baby!"
But like an impotent vaccine on a bad virus, the message needs permanent boosting less the people forget what is the cause of their plight and who should be the focus of their loathing.
Understand this and you will get the gist of the message from Antonio Guterres. He doesn't even need to mention Russia. In fact he can't as Secretary general of the UN: Appearances must be preserved! But don't forget: Your misery has nothing to do with 50 years of incompetence and greed but is entirely caused by an insignificant war, thousand of kilometers away in a plain that you didn't know existed until February 2022.
But wait, What are we doing to mitigate this "treat"? Well, nothing of course, but this is not the subject. "Russia must stop the war!"
UN Secretary-General Blames Global Economic Crisis On Ukraine War
NATO governments and globalist institutions have put on a good show acting as if they hate Putin and the Russian advance in Ukraine, but the reality is that the war acts as an all encompassing distraction from the greater agenda at hand. It offers globalist organizations, western politicians and central banks a perfect scapegoat for the ongoing economic instability caused by THEIR policies.
As anyone that follows alternative economic knows, the stagflationary crisis that is escalating today was triggered well before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Price inflation was hitting 40 year highs in December of 2021, months before the war started. Gas prices were skyrocketing long before sanctions on Russia were ever implemented, climbing from an average of $2.20 per gallon in November of 2020 to $5 per gallon in June of 2022. That's more than a 100% increase in less than two years and most of it occurred before Ukraine was an issue.
What really caused stagflation? It's a process initiated by central bank stimulus that the alternative media has been warning about for many years. The real culprits are central bankers and the politicians that align with them. The world has been awash in fiat money as a means to prolong economic corrections that should have been allowed to run their course a long time ago. Instead, bankers sought to artificially prop up the system and funnel money into “too big to fail” corporations along with the too big to fail stock markets. Now, of course, things are changing.
The inevitable Catch-22 dynamic has come into play – Central banks can continue to print and keep interest rates near zero, but inflation will rapidly expand, making all their efforts pointless as rising costs lead to plummeting demand. Or, they can stop all stimulus and hike interest rates to stall the inflationary disaster, but still collapse markets, employment numbers and consumer demand. The bottom line is that there is no path to a soft landing; it simply doesn't exist.
The covid pandemic was really the straw that broke the camel's back – Not because of the virus, but because of the RESPONSE to the virus. The authoritarian lockdowns and the subsequent covid stimulus packages poured gasoline on the economic fire. With over $6 trillion of helicopter money pumped into the US system in a single year, the system that was on the verge of implosion is now fully crashing. Time is running out.
All blame has been initially directed at Joe Biden, and though he has played a large part in the disaster, it's not really his crisis. The central banks created this avalanche since 2008 and now we are finally seeing the poisonous fruits of their labors. Presidents come and go, but central bank policy does not change unless the bankers want it to.
With the Ukraine war (and now a potential war between China and Taiwan), the banks and political elites must be jumping for joy. All eyes were increasingly falling on them but now they have some very well timed distractions to blame all the world's economic ills.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is milking the Ukraine crisis for all it's worth in his latest engagement with the world press. Stating that:
“We are doing all we can to reduce suffering and save lives in Ukraine and the region, through our humanitarian operations... But the war is also having a huge and multi-dimensional impact far beyond Ukraine, through a threefold crisis of access to food, energy and finance.”
In other words, he seeks to continue the false narrative that the economic crisis is all Russia's fault. He then move's on the the secondary narrative that “Big Oil” is also partially to blame:
“...It is immoral for oil and gas companies to be making record profits from this energy crisis on the backs of the poorest people and communities and at a massive cost to the climate...I urge people everywhere to send a clear message to the fossil fuel industry and their financiers that this grotesque greed is punishing the poorest and most vulnerable people, while destroying our only common home, the planet.”
In this statement we find multiple lies. First, oil companies are seeing larger profits because of the stronger dollar in international trade. As the Fed increases interest rates the dollar index climbs against foreign currencies, and because the dollar is the global petrocurrency this means that oil companies will be raking in more dollars which accumulate more wealth through foreign exchange. This is not a situation which will last long, but for now, anything that sells in dollars is going to create considerable profits.
Secondly, say what you want about the oil companies, but they didn't create the energy crisis. Inflation was caused by central banks and NATO sanctions against Russia are doing the rest. There is a distinct communist tone to the UN Sec-Gen's speech and a clear attempt to disparage capitalism and profits when these things have absolutely nothing to do with the overall threat.
Third, it's hard not to notice the clear carbon control agenda within the UN's rhetoric and their attempt to exploit the energy crisis as a means to push their climate dictatorship goals for 2030. They want a 55% reduction in fossil fuels and carbon emissions in less than 8 years. The large bulk of Antonio Guterres press conference focused on Green New Deal propaganda. Globalists are constantly seeking to exploit the energy crisis as an excuse to push carbon restrictions and renewables, which actually make the energy crisis far worse.
The extreme economic calamity that would be created by climate change policies cannot be understated. Millions of people will die if the UN gets what it wants. That said, if there is already an economic calamity in play because of stagflation and supply chain disruptions, they figure they can force climate controls into place and no one will notice.
If regional wars in Ukraine, Taiwan and elsewhere erupt and continue for the next 8 years, then the public could be led to believe that the economic disaster was indeed caused by foreign wars and “evil nationalism” rather than globalist policies and central bank money printing. They are already planting the propaganda today in preparation for the next decade of events. The last thing the elites want is for the populace to aim their anger at at them.
Furthermore, large scale chaos calls for large scale solutions. If you want to change the world rapidly while erasing generations of traditions, heritage, principles, laws and freedoms, then you have to break the old system and get people to beg for a new one. People have to believe it was their idea to change everything, that way they don't rebel in the future.
The UN is playing a game of inoculation; planting misinformation today in advance of disasters they know will happen tomorrow.
