Beware of the Other Side of the Media Monster Machine
The information war is real and raging, and its effects are visible in every institution—political, cultural, and even within the Church. Americans are called to fight this war, but not on their own terms. The battle is won through truth, not through rage. Through courage, not despair. Through humility, not hubris.
If there’s any anger at all it needs to be righteous and a fuel to those ends, not an end in itself.
There are examples beyond the obvious we’ve been seeing lately on our electronic screens, like JFK and Epstein. Two of them will be briefly spotlighted today.
For one, there is a story developing in South Africa that should be part of the conversation, but it’s not, not in the mainstream anyway. It involves an entire political party in South Africa advocating for white genocide, openly singing songs about extermination. It is a party that Musk and Trump spotlighted over the weekend:
Where is the international outcry for this?
Where are the human rights organizations?
Where are the same voices who scream about “democracy” when it suits their agenda?
You know the answer. The truth is inconvenient sometimes. If it doesn’t fit an agenda, it isn’t truth, not in their minds. Inconvenient truths are ignored or mocked only until they explode into something undeniable and they’re forced to cover it.
And even then it is only a TV character giving us permission to believe it.
And what about SNAP, soda, and the conservative influencer sellout I’ve been warning about? RFK Jr is pushing for the USDA to remove junk food and soda from being purchased with taxpayer-funded food stamps, and quite the reaction developed when a swarm of “conservative” influencers suddenly jumped in to defend sugary garbage being subsidized by the government.
Coincidence? MAGA solidarity against the left? Fight government overreach!
Or–were they just doing what they were paid to do?
Jon Herold’s take:
Colleague Jeff Sadow, in a completely disconnected story, nonetheless said it well: “In general, government should avoid interfering in voluntary private transactions. But in this case, that its thumb is already on the scales justifies an exception.”
Indeed, there are exceptions, and those exceptions go beyond “MAGA” and “anything against the woke left.” They roam deeper into more core principles. No one screams government interference, in other words, when it comes to justice being levied on murderers. There are core principles that go beyond Tribe A and Tribe B in this information war that we are being challenged to seek out.
All of this is about exposure, not just about bludgeoning a legacy media that is already dead. The charge now is for Americans–particularly conservatives–to catch on to how conservative influencers are deployed to even further divide this country.
We saw a similar illustration when all of those conservative influencers remarkably posted the same thing in unison on “Epstein Files Release Day,” right after they took those cringy photos–replete with binders!
Exposure means growing pains. And growing pains mean growth. Do you see the tribal polarities breaking? On the one hand it is frightening to think that there even is a controlled opposition–the other side of the script–written into the story to control us. It can be difficult roaming in the realm of uncertainty. We like our tribes. We like to know people–important people with millions of followers–agree with us. It can be strangely difficult to disagree with a Tucker or even a Trump, for instance.
But on the other hand, it can be freeing.
While real genocides are ignored, America’s so-called conservative influencers are busy taking money to defend soda on SNAP benefits. Soda is the #1 purchased item with SNAP benefits. Not bread, not meat, not vegetables—soda.
This whole program isn’t about “helping the poor”–that one’s easy to understand. We’ve all known that one for years and decades and probably remember instances when we were in line in the grocery store behind someone piling up the junk food on our dime.
But the blowback isn’t your friend either just because it says it’s fighting against government overreach.
Both the program and the controlled defense of it is about keeping the population sick, weak, and dependent–too stupid to have the cognitive capacity to challenge the beast, to engage in the story, to actually think for ourselves.
They make us choose one of the two. Binary trap. Saul Alinsky.
This is what controlled opposition looks like. They don’t oppose the system just because they agree with you on boys and girls in bathrooms, just because they’re excited the price of eggs dropped. They actually help manage the ruse on us, whether they actively know they are doing it or not.
And I’m being very generous there.
While the South Africa example probably makes more sense because we are accustomed to legacy media’s refusal to play fair in the race game, the soda example may be trickier. But it is perhaps a more easily digestible illustration of a truth we will have to come to terms with on more consequential issues like the JFK assassination and the Epstein/Maxwell story. The same thing applies across the board. That is the point. They seem to be friends because they agree with you on the low-hanging fruit, but where it matters–where it really, really matters–they’ll trick you. Whether we are taking interest or not, there is more than a reasonable case being built at the moment that there are certain aspects of enemies behind all of this that many people are going to have a hard time believing, and if your favorite electronic friends are shaming the good folks trying to spread the truth while not actually making any money from it, beware of them.
LEJEUNE RECENT
May everyone named directly or referenced indirectly ask forgiveness and do penance for their sins against America and God. I fight this information war in the spirit of justice and love for the innocent, but I have been reminded of the need for mercy and prayers for our enemies. I am a sinner in need of redemption as well after all, for my sins are many. In the words of Jesus Christ himself, Lord forgive us all, for we know not what we do.
