Advancing Propaganda for Evil Agendas Is the Same as Perpetrating Them
Before they launch missiles, they launch narratives. Before they drop bombs, they drop ideas. Before they invade, they propagandize. Before the killing, there is manipulation. Narrative control is the front line of all imperialist agendas, and it is therefore the front line of all anti-imperialist efforts. When you forcefully oppose these agendas, that matters, because you’re keeping the public from being propagandized into consenting to them. When you forcefully facilitate those agendas, that matters, because you’re actively paving the way for them.
While Johnstone targets The Guardian in this article, add any and all of the 6 corporate owned news sources and you get the same ends. Especially since 9/11 have we seen such collaboration in the control of narrative to manage our perceptions to a delusional reality from these sources.
And the biggest con of the month is what happed over the past 2 weeks within the impeachment hearings. While shit is happening behind closed doors and silence of legislature being passed, the crimes done in our names in another country are being swept under the smoke of war and the stench of death.
