The following article was originally published on the Outlaw in 2014, and passed by relatively un-noticed.

I am republishing it now (with a few tweaks) as I believe it’s even more relevant today than it was a few short years ago, as from what I am witnessing all around today, far too many people are still swallowing the nonsense that is being churned out by the mass media.

As the propaganda and ‘Fear Pornography’ are being cranked up to beyond insanity levels over Vladimir Putin and Russia, it has never been more important to look beyond what you are being told, to start thinking for yourselves, to start asking questions and ultimately – to trust your own gut feelings.

‘In order to fully understand what is happening in the world today, I firmly believe it is vitally important to have an insight into some of the major events of the past.

For example, those of a certain age will, I’m sure, have indelible memories of the tensions created by the ‘fact’ that a single misunderstanding between the protagonists of the quaintly titled ‘Cold War’ could easily have led to the extinction of all life on this planet.

That is only one of many accepted historical ‘events’ that was entirely manufactured, and was preceded by the building of the Berlin Wall in 1961, and the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, and which achieved it’s ultimate aim of helping to reinforce a carefully orchestrated illusion, which placed the world onto not only a war footing, but also into a perpetual state of fear.

‘MUTUALLY ASSURED DESTRUCTION’

M.A.D. Do you remember that?

So what if I were to suggest that the ‘Cold War’ was a complete fabrication, and was something carefully constructed by it’s protagonists to act as a distraction from what was really going on?

That would undoubtedly surprise at least some of you, and in some cases, may not have entered the minds of anyone who feels the need to even ask how (or why) anything like that was able to be implemented.

It is quite simply beyond the realms of most people’s thought processes today, to accept what the government and the mass media say, as being anything other than what they are seeing and hearing on their television and/or radio or read in the newspapers.

So how could an event, like the extensively documented and universally accepted narrative that was the ‘Cold War’, possibly be anything other than what it appeared to be?

Quite easily, when you realise that there is, and always was a completely different narrative written for each segment of the population, with only a select few ever granted access to the original and full version of the ‘script.’

This can be simplified even further, by comparing that situation to one that exists within any multinational corporation, or a large company or organisation which has numerous outlets, subsidiaries and thousands of employees.

Would the employees on the shop or factory floor know the senior executives at Head Office, personally for instance?

Would they be party to what the Chief Executive Officer, or the board of directors did on a daily or hourly basis, or would they only be familiar with their own menial roles, within their own departments, and only then within the immediate structure of the outlying subsidiary where they turn up for work every day?

My guess is that it would be the latter.

NASA for instance, is structured that way.

And getting a straight answer from any of these companies/agencies is as futile an act, as it would be to ask the men who repair potholes in the road, to explain why it is that the people who employ them have covered up decades of child grooming and abuse.

They repair potholes, that is their only role in that agency, and the only information they are made aware of is where the potholes are that need to be repaired, it makes absolutely no difference that they are employed by the same agency, as they are simply not privy to the requested information.

THAT IS HOW IT WORKS.

Once the basic principles of a ‘need to know’ basis are understood, and combined with the complete control and the manipulation of all information (via the completely controlled mass media) that is made available to the citizenry, it becomes a fairly simple and straightforward task to make the population of any given country …. believe almost anything.

However ‘impossible’ any given event would be to actually implement, it does not take that much effort to make people believe it …. as all that’s needed is for the mass media to report it as being a ‘fact’ ….

Things would become so much clearer, if people just took a little time to look beyond what they are expected to believe ….

AND QUESTION EVERYTHING.

It is relatively easy to observe how manipulation is being used every day, simply by noticing how millions of people are being lied to and led by the nose daily, via the mass media, directed by the established order, along pre-defined paths.

Through Advertising, through Television News, through The Schools/College/University Systems, through The mainstream media and through ‘Campaigns’ fronted by celebrities are the tried and trusted, and most visible methods.

The majority of people are only too willing to accept, and ultimately believe any or all of what is presented to them, even to the point of them becoming angry if they are denied that opportunity, simply because they have been ‘trained’ since birth to do so …. without question.

It is entirely possible that many historic events have utilised a similar template, including the establishment of Communism in specific parts of the world.

There is also very sound reasoning behind the widely held belief, that the old Soviet Unions’ retreat behind the ‘Iron Curtain,’ was simply a dramatic puppet show played out by those who manipulated their childlike audience (us) – using nothing more than the pulling of the right strings.

People simply accept what they have been conditioned to believe.

WITHOUT QUESTION.

It has become abundantly clear, that the United States and the Soviet Union shared a close working relationship behind the scenes during the ‘cold war’, while covertly working towards a common goal.

Was this goal, as a number of people have alluded to, part of ‘a combined attempt to “weaponise” the very skies above our heads?’

People’s immediate opinions are more often than not, based on the information that is made available to them.

Information found in the newspapers, on the television, what their own government’s decide to release ‘as being in the public interest’, or more recently, via any number of compromised internet outlets.

That is the reality, and one that is known to work, and work very well, as it has worked ever since the invention of the printing press made the written word available to the population at large.

It is the way that those words are presented which form the basis of what becomes generally held opinion, so if you can control everything that is written and shown on television, it naturally follows that public opinion can also be manipulated by you.

If this manipulation is strictly controlled from the top down, permeating through the schools and higher education systems, trickling down through the medical, legal and political arenas, all mainstream media outlets and all available printed materials, it becomes extremely difficult to find alternatives.

Unless you are prepared to look beyond what you have always been conditioned to believe …. that is.’
