“We’re Not On The Cusp Of Losing Our Freedom. Look Around, It’s Already Gone!””
Can you seriously sing our national anthem with pride? Can you use the words “strong and free” when you’re prevented from working, your business is not essential, playgrounds are taped off, and parks are off limits? How do you feel about being told you’re a potential death trap for simply taking a walk? Do you not sense something sinister when you’re literally corralled and forced to wait to get into Walmart?
We are not free. In fact, we’re already being warned about a second wave of freedom eating viral doom. Our leaders, even those who ostensibly lead “conservative” governments, even in Canada like Premiers Doug Ford and Jason Kenney, have swallowed the magic model elixir and it’s gone straight to their heads. They’ve tasted true power, and they like it.
It isn’t protestors who are reckless, irresponsible, yahoos. Using fake model “predictions” to strip us of our rights is reckless, irresponsible, and thoroughly repugnant. The models were wrong, but they can’t let go of the absolute newfound powers the models are intentionally designed to deliver.
Be prepared, folks. My own model shows Tyranny is running their most successful playbook ever. Pick an invisible enemy, like CO2 or COVID-19, generate terrifying death predictions, have the media pump out panic porn, scare society to death, rule by decree to save us and shame all who disagree as reckless and irresponsible deniers.
The models are lies wrapped in science sounded by experts and capitalized on by political hacks.
The Truth In A Lie
There is much to be learned from a lie. We all understand that liars lie to gain some measure of benefit for themselves. It’s no big deal when that person is a golf buddy who makes liberal use of a foot wedge and fails to tally up penalty strokes, or the office braggart who is known for stretching the truth. You know they’re full of it but, in the grand scheme of things, they’re irrelevant. Their petty deceit has no impact on society.
That isn’t the case with our trusted information sources, the people and institutions we rely on to inform us on important matters because the consequences of acting on that information can impact every person in the country in significant, even serious, ways. Stay home, you leper!
Lies, Motivation, Money, Power
When writing software, the flow of information and control is directed with the use of statements that check for certain conditions. For example, IF Condition A is true THEN perform positive actions ELSE perform negative actions. Software will contain a multitude of these types of statements and for it to work correctly, the conditions must be checked in a specific and logical sequence.
The same principle holds when evaluating information as regards to truth versus lies. The fact of a lie comes before the motivation for the lie because the impact of false information is independent of any motivation behind it. Trusting a lie will corrupt your thinking. It has nothing to do with intelligence, it is a simple fact that the more lies you consume and trust, the more corrupt your perceptions will be.
The biggest mistake we can make is to first ask, does my trusted source have reason to lie? Well, no, they’re trusted, so therefore it’s the truth. Instead, first ask, is it a lie? If you can determine it was, the next question is, was the lie intentional? It’s quite possible your “trusted” source is simply regurgitating their own ignorance and is not intentionally trying to deceive you. However, the deceit still exists and will have a negative impact regardless.
If the lie was intentional, then you know the impact on your thinking was intentional, which means your source is attempting to gain some benefit over you, over all of us. Again, the exact motivation is moot, you know and fully understand that the deceit is not in your best interest. Scary, right?
As to motivation, once you’ve concluded the lie was intentional, the question to ask is, who benefits? The motivations will often reveal themselves, the main two being money and power.
How To Tell When The Deceit Is Intentional
The good news is that it is easy to detect intentional deceit, the hard part is accepting what that means. Consuming information is an intimate act because you are allowing people to influence your thoughts, perceptions, and beliefs. Intentional deceit is a gross violation of trust, and there are few acts viler.
Here are five ways to tell if your trusted source is honest enough to let into your mind.
Censorship: The problems with news censorship are obvious, you can’t know what you aren’t told. Censorship is an indicator that the position they want you to take is intellectually indefensible. Censorship is an insult to your intelligence and any institution or individual that promotes it is unworthy of you.
Conflation: Conflation occurs when two related, but distinct thoughts or ideas are merged into one. For instance, lumping illegal with legal when speaking to immigration policy. Other examples would include race and religion, colour and privilege, and guns and violence. Conflation has only one purpose, to confuse your thinking on the subject. This makes its use an intentional act of deceit.
Clipping: Clipping is typically characterized with the use of ellipses, which are utilized to indicate a quote has been shortened. When the shortened quote “reads” differently than the longer original, you’ve been had. Your source is smart enough to know they’ve changed the meaning of the quote, making it an intentional decision.
Cropping: Cropping is like clipping but for pictures and video. When skillfully done it can promote perceptions entirely at odds with the reality of the scene. For instance, a small crowd can be made to look impressively large. It is near impossible to tell that a picture has been cropped but should you come across a photo showing a fuller perspective which proves the cropped photo painted a false picture, then you know the deceit was intentional.
Caricature: Caricature is the interpretation of statements not as spoken but as filtered through one’s own misperceptions, or caricature, of the speaker. Simply compare the words placed into the speaker’s mouth with the actual statement made and if they don’t match, your source is revealing a pure, unadulterated bigotry that likely taints everything they spew.
Faith In The Fight For Freedom
The mainstream media and the tech giants all use the above tactics. The first step in the fight to regain our freedom is to accept the fact we’ve been deceived on a grand scale over a long period of time. How long? Your entire life.
The next is to have confidence in your ability to identify instances of deceit and then act accordingly. Those sources don’t need to be officially censored, they need to be studiously avoided or, if you can handle the lies, studied in an effort to determine their motivations. Regardless, trust is out of the question.
Now that you know their playbook you can anticipate what follows. Keep an eye out for the next attempt to use model “estimates’ as a brazen power grab. The odds of that model being a deliberately designed weapon are enormous
Be honest, freedom is at war with tyranny. The forces of evil are among us and they are having their way. We will need to find the courage to face our manufactured fears if we wish to live in liberty.
Considering where we already are, we may need to draw from a deeper well to find the right leaders and bolster our personal strength for the battle that lies ahead. Faith is the best source of courage in the face of fear. Faith in something bigger so now is a good time to ask God for the wisdom to identify tyranny and the inner strength to fight it.
There are only two choices moving forward; rebel or succumb.
Choose bravely, my friend, your children are depending on you.
