Dissonance to Informational Control in Technological Society: Part 4

The establishment response to cognitive dissonance

Continued from Part 3…

This part looks at a non-comprehensive list of ways the establishment has of dealing with the rise of cognitive dissonance among the masses, ranging from providing deradicalization agents to cognitive infiltration tactics to murder.

HOW DOES THE GOVERNMENT DEAL WITH COGNITIVE DISSONANCE?

The establishment recognizes that it’s propaganda only works on a portion of the population, that it is far more likely to work with women, with non-whites, and with sexual deviants than with heterosexual white men.  They use a variety of tactics to prevent those who are dissatisfied with official narratives from organizing or influencing others.  We will review a non-exhaustive list of twenty of their methods; the actual goals the establishment pursues will be explained in a future section. 

1. Deradicalization agents: The establishment utilizes social media “influencers” to push narratives slightly outside the Overton window as an attempt to control informational flow. Their strategy is to argue “it’s OK to think this far but no farther”.  With many far-right personalities being banned on social media, these moderately right e-celebs attempt to keep dissatisfied young males from becoming more radical.  This serves a useful role for the regime.  For example, when Brett Kavanaugh was accused of being a rapist during his Supreme Court hearings, heavily-media-boosted Jordan Peterson — a man who claims to be an expert at resisting mob mentality and of the Soviet dissident Alexander Solzhenitzyn - tweeted “If confirmed Kavanaugh should step down.”  When Canada rolled out the COVID vaccine mandates, instead of resisting Peterson gave in and got the shot, then later regretted it (“you’d have to kill me first” to get the booster, he tweeted).  He cried when discussing how Israel was a “moral city on a hill” while being held up as some kind of hero to the right.  Another example is neocon Ben Shapiro, a rabid proponent of the Iraq war, duplicitously pro-COVID vaccine, a vocal never-Trumper, pro-censorship, who used underhanded tactics to try to get Trump’s campaign manager fired ¹, and more.  This guy is some hero as well?  There are a lot of examples of this. 

   

   Jordan Peterson breaks down crying so often that it has become a meme.

   Sometimes deradicalization agents are forced into their role under duress.  Kanye West demonstrated this by releasing the text messages of his “celebrity personal trainer”, Tavistock educated, Canadian- governmental-handler Harley Pasternak who threatened to forcibly institutionalize him (Pasternak “trained” i.e. managed Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Halle Berry, Katy Perry, Megan Fox, Robert Downey Jr., Robert Pattinson and others). Or see Kyrie Irving, who had to attend numerous ADL brainwashing sessions in order to continue playing in the NBA after a minor incident, or Nick Cannon²; celebrities must conform to a specific role or be cut off from celebrity and wealth.  Blogger “Judge Dredd” refers to a seven step process for celebrities who act out of line, with each step serving as an escalation until the celebrity capitulates: (1) they receive a warning, (2) they are smeared by the press, (3) they are cut off from social media, (4) they get boycotted or fired, (5) they get cut off from bank and credit card access, (6) they get sued, and (7) if a celebrity still insists on acting out, they may be murdered.

   

   Kanye’s trainer was a government agent whose job is “managing” these celebrities.

2. Reserve deradicalizaiton agents: Deradicalizaiton agents don’t have to be actively used; they can be kept in reserve for special occasions. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a hero among many on the right, said “Screw your freedoms” to the unvaccinated in 2021. Tucker Carlson, considered the furthest right media personality that was allowed on air at the time, forced his head writer to resign for offering slightly offensive views the day after he did a segment on not caving into woke mobs.  During the 2020 election results controversy Tucker was told not to say anything about it by his employer and he kept quiet, publicly arguing the election was legitimate.  In this way he massively helped the establishment even as he railed against it on a day to day basis.  Tucker is also close friends with Hunter Biden and may be a CIA asset.  Leaked texts also show Tucker writing “I hate [Trump] passionately.” In plain terms, Tucker, Fox News³, the NY Post⁴, Newsmax, and other mainstream right-wing publications build up trust among the masses in normal times in order to cash in that trust against them at key points, undermining the people that trusted them in order to help globohomo.

   

   The friendly favors between Tucker and Hunter Biden just warms the heart.

   How can one determine who is a true believing dissident vs. a larper chasing money and fame?  The best way to tell, but not a surefire method⁵ is if a person publicly suffers for their beliefs and doesn't recant.  Kanye lost the vast majority of his fortune and has not publicly apologized; Andrew Anglin gets his website shut down every month and globohomo has monetary judgments against him; Steve Bannon has been criminally prosecuted; Stephen Miller has been cut out from the Jewish community. Sometimes it can be hard to tell: Nick Fuentes allegedly had $500,000 stolen from his bank account by the government but he encouraged his followers to storm the capitol on 1/6⁶, then disclaimed them after they were charged although he himself has not been charged.  Public suffering plus lack of recantation seems to be the best, but not a guaranteed way to separate the true believers from larpers; this is the “handicap principle”. Another factor to assess is who the media highlights vs. who it downplays: generally the greater the media hate/hysteria toward a target, the better that targeted individual is, while the quieter/nicer, the more controlled.

3. Pushing outlandish figures publicly to discredit a movement: The establishment puts the media’s spotlight on far-right individuals whose attitude or behavior makes a public mockery of their movement, regardless of whether or not the individual is well intentioned.  Examples of this include Richard Spencer who playacted publicly as a neo-Nazi (although he may have been on the government’s payroll) and George Lincoln Rockwell who served as a public clown figure even though he was likely honest in his beliefs.  Alex Jones has always skirted this line as well, having the personality of a big, bombastic doofus, and he regularly mixes realistic conspiracy theories with outlandish ones like inter-dimensional aliens controlling our politicians.

   

   Clown figure, half truth teller.

4. Traitors: Outright traitors such as Trump’s Attorney General Jeff Sessions who betrayed Trump and his base (despite being his earliest Senate supporter) by recusing himself from the Mueller investigation on an extremely weak pretext. The subsequent Mueller investigation found nothing, serving as a witch hunt to paralyze the Trump administration and to cover up the establishment’s illegal spying.  There are strong arguments to be made that Mike Pence, Gary Cohn, and Jared Kushner also qualify.

5. Frivolous lawsuits with chilling effects: “To my friends, everything; to my enemies, the law” said Peruvian dictator Óscar R. Benavides - a message the establishment has taken to heart. Frivolous lawsuits called “lawfare” are used to silence dissent, a broad term which also includes conspiracies to battle state election reform legislation.  Targets of lawfare include the organizers of the Charlottesville rally and more than 840 people who attended the January 6 rally; defendants go bankrupt trying to defend themselves even if they are found not guilty, the FBI destroys exculpatory evidence, and often judges and juries are biased with D.C. juries that vote 90% Democrat.  The FBI will be embedded in any mainstream or semi-mainstream populist organization, so to attend politically charged public events and rallies is to invite the power of the law to target and destroy you.  Civil lawsuits against Alex Jones and Kanye qualify as lawfare as well.  Another victim of lawfare was General Flynn who was seen as a threat to the establishment due to his DIA experience and willingness to serve with Trump, and so he was framed by the FBI and spent years defending himself in court.  He even had to sell his house to pay legal bills. 

   

   Benjamin Wittes of the Lawfare blog is a major proponent of lawfare by the left.

   An early example of lawfare was the Great Sedition Trial of 1944 which used to silence and intimidate prominent anti-communists, and these tactics were pioneered by then-litigator and eventual Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis in his 1908 Brandeis brief. Lawfare is used in other contexts too such as pushing radical gerrymandering modifications nationwide on behalf of the establishment, or to paralyze opponents (i.e. a Hawaiian district court judge (!!) who issued a nationwide injunction against Trump’s travel ban).

6. Murder to silence dissent: The following is a partial list of modern-era dissidents who died under questionable circumstances.  The CIA likely murdered Michael Hastings, who was about to run a negative media story on CIA Director John Brennan and highlight illegal governmental spying, by hacking his car and ramming it at high speed into a wall; General Patton died in a suspicious “car accident” for being publicly anti-communist (although prominent anti-globalist general George Van Horn Moseley was left alone given he had retired, but his reputation was smeared); brilliant establishment critic Professor Angelo Codevilla died suspiciously in 2021; Andrew Breitbart, who ran the popular anti-governmental website Breitbart and dropped dead of a suspicious "heart attack” at 43⁷; whistleblower Seth Rich; Jeffrey Epstein (to keep him from talking about his CIA/Mossad handlers and all the powerful men he blackmailed); governor Brian Kemp’s daughter’s boyfriend was possibly blown up as a warning to keep Kemp from conducting a 2020 Georgia audit; Hillary Clinton has a list of associates who died under mysterious circumstances a mile long, and she publicly questioned whether the U.S. could drone strike Julian Assange.  Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was found dead with a pillow over his face.  Republican Senator Ted Stevens’s plane went down in an official “accident” after forcing him out of office on trumped up charges; the establishment potentially conspired with the Soviets to murder the head of the John Birch Society, Dr. Lawrence Patton McDonald, by downing Korean Air Lines Flight 007 in 1983.⁸   Congressman Jim Traficante, controversial for being a Democrat who regularly voted with Republicans, died under questionable circumstances.  Prominent Federal Reserve critic Congressman Louis T. McFadden was likely poisoned.⁹  South African blogger Uhuru Guru who highlighted the genocide of whites was arrested and murdered.  The list goes on and on.  (On the flip side, even though the establishment potentially didn’t murder nationalist Shinzo Abe of Japan, the government apologized to the assassin and pressured Shinzo’s nationalist religious organization, an unprecedented and disgusting act.)

   

   Isn’t it wonderful that “It’s Her Turn” wanted to drone strike a prominent journalist?

   Another likely establishment murder was the assassination of James Forrestal in 1949.¹⁰  Truman tapped former CFR member Forrestal to be Defense Secretary but he turned out to be more nationalist than the establishment anticipated.  Forrestal stated with revulsion in 1948: “Consistency has never been a mark of stupidity.  If the diplomats who have mishandled our relations with Russia were merely stupid, they would occasionally make a mistake in our favor.”  He resolved to counteract treason within the government.  Truman fired him in March 1949.  Forrestal then planned to buy the New York Sun newspaper and convert it into an anti-communist paper but he never had the chance.  Five days after his dismissal he was taken to Bethesda Naval Hospital for “fatigue” where he was heavily drugged and held incommunicado for seven weeks.  His diaries were confiscated by the White House.  He was scheduled for discharge on May 22, 1949 but at 2 AM that morning he “fell” from a window with his bathrobe cord knotted around his neck.  The death was declared suicide but his brother claimed it was murder.  

7. Attempted murder and intimidation: By creating an intense media environment of hysteria against disfavored individuals, globohomo sets the stage for unhinged individuals to attempt to attack them.  For example, see the three attempted assassinations against Trump in 2016/2017, the attempted murder of Steve Scalise (the New York Times even published details where the Republican baseball game meets, day and times beforehand), harassing Senators at the Capitol over the appointment of Brett Kavanaugh, and limiting/withdrawing police protections for Supreme Court justices at their homes after overturning Roe. The intimidation is very strong.

   

8. Newly created meta-narratives: The introduction of each new meta-narrative is powerful, throwing people off center and distracting them.  Releasing one after another keeps them from thinking about whether previous narratives were false. 

9. Create new grievance groups and set them against each other.  The establishment had the media focus on homosexual rights, when that ran out of energy they turned the focus to transsexual rights, then they advanced to transsexual indoctrination in schools and forcing child vaccinations.  These cultural battles keep a lot of the public’s attention distracted.

10. Dust off old controversial narratives like abortion.  The Supreme Court overturned Roe out of the blue after Republicans were leading heavily in congressional 2022 matchups, leading to decreased support from the general public and much fewer seats picked up.

11. Utilize an enormous number of bots on social media to push government approved narratives.  Elon Musk estimated that Twitter bots may have accounted for up to 50% of Twitter activity before his purchase to which a high level Twitter whistleblower agreed. See also Dead Internet Theory which alleges most of the internet is bot activity.  The below link is clickable:

    

12. Utilize false, astroturfed, government controlled movements for political ends such as Q (a domestic version of the Soviet’s Operation Trust, used to keep right-wing individuals passive by providing deliberately false hope that someone will save them) and Antifa (used to smash small middle-class businesses nationwide which leaned Republican and were too independent).  Even the John Birch Society, considered an arch-conservative organization, was accused of being a false, astroturfed, government controlled organization by its co-founder Revilo P. Oliver, who had a falling out with founder Robert Welch.
    
    Another example was the Liberty League, which was set up in 1934 to oppose FDR and immediately characterized as a “extreme rightwing” organization.  However, it was backed by the globalists: Pierre and Irene DuPont put up $325,000 for it and it was also financed by J.P. Morgan and the Rockefellers.  The backers of Liberty League were busy denouncing Roosevelt and his staff as “communist”, which many of them were, while also organizing American International Corporation, which had been formed to prevent the economy of the Soviet Union from collapsing.  The Liberty League successfully corralled the opponents of FDR who were smeared in the media as “rightwing nuts” and “anti-semitic.”  The ploy operated from 1934 to the 1936 elections, when it effectively destroyed Alf Landon’s campaign and no effective political opposition was organized against FDR for the rest of his time in office.  It was one of the most successful political hoaxes in American history.  Roosevelt then married his son to a heiress of the DuPont dynasty.¹¹

13. Stall tactics resulting in energy depletion: A corollary to the Q Movement / Operation Trust is for the establishment to hint at justice that could occur at a future time; during the Trump era that included the DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, DOJ head Bill Barr, and U.S. Attorney John Durham (whose direct supervisor was the wife of one of the targets of the investigation), all “hopium” operations that went nowhere, where the investigations and media dangled the hope of future justice for years in order to paralyze pressure from the right and deflate their energy.  “Limited hangouts”, i.e. selective release of manipulated info, contributes to this.  Being outside the power structure the dissident right has limited energy; fast “wins” add to its energy while slow, delayed actions — which includes these stall tactics and lawfare court actions that can take years to resolve —sap it.

14. Cognitive infiltration: Direct government agents to infiltrate online conspiracy communities and redirect their paranoia toward ends that are both useless and make them appear foolish to the general public.  Examples of this include the Sandy Hook shooting where conspiracy theorists argued the dead children didn’t exist, and the flat earth theory.  This cognitive infiltration strategy was articulated by Cass Sunstein in 2008 in an article titled “Conspiracy Theories” for the Journal of Political Philosophy, where he made a radical proposal: “Our main policy claim here is that government should engage in cognitive infiltration of the groups that produce conspiracy theories.”…they defined “cognitive infiltration” as a program “whereby government agents or their allies (acting either virtually or in real space, and either openly or anonymously) will undermine the crippled epistemology of believers by planting doubts about the theories and stylized facts that circulate within such groups.”   Cognitive infiltration on social media is heavily boosted via bots who push arguments about, for example, the glass dome and the firmament (flat earth arguments) to distract people and lead them into harmless political dead ends.

15. Crush legitimate grass roots uprisings such as the Tea Party Movement, destroyed by Republican Senate head Mitch McConnell through Machiavellian backroom strategies.

16. Utilize AI to maximize network shatter effects in banning dissidents: Social media companies map out which people on the right and far left are popular, how they interact with their friends, allies and acquaintances, and then they “chop the head off” these networks in one swoop or multiple purges.  In research for this essay, something like 80%+ of recent alt-right twitter links were dead/broken with the users having been permanently suspended, even after Musk supposedly issued blanket account amnesties.¹²

17. Ban dissents using other methods: Lean on host providers to shut down problematic internet sites (Andrew Anglin’s website has been shut down an inordinate number of times despite no criminal activity), ban dissident books on Amazon and other bookseller sites, shut down dissident bank accounts (what Trudeau did to Canadian truck protesters), dox and get them fired from their jobs.  This is not a new tactic.  In the 1930s 30 million people listened to Father Coughlin’s radio broadcasts and newspaper where he had an isolationist, anti-FDR, anti-establishment perspective. The government forced his radio program off the air and closed his newspaper before banning him entirely from politics under threat of losing his priesthood. 

    

    Father Coughlin in 1938

    Other individuals purged for wrongthink include journalist John T. Flynn, who no one has heard of today but who was bigger than Walter Lippmann in the 1930s; historian Harry Elmer Barnes — who played a central role in “revising” the history of the First World War so as to remove the cartoonish picture of unspeakable German wickedness left behind as a legacy of the dishonest wartime propaganda produced by the British and American governments; and many others include Charles Beard, William Henry Chamberlin, Russell Grenfell, Sisley Huddleston, and A.J.P. Taylor.  For a deeper dive into these figures, see Ron Unz’s article American Pravda: Understanding World War 2.
    
    In 1953, historian Henry Elmer Barnes described how the censorship process worked, which remains ongoing today:

    “The methods followed by the various groups interested in blacking out the truth about world affairs since 1932…fall mainly into the following patterns or categories: (1) excluding scholars suspected of revisionist views from access to public documents which are freely opened to “court historians” and other apologists for the foreign policy of President Roosevelt; (2) intimidating publishers of books and periodicals, so that even those who might wish to publish books and articles setting forth the revisionist point of view do not dare to do so; (3) ignoring or obscuring published material which embodies revisionist facts and arguments; and (4) smearing revisionist authors and their books… leading members of two of the largest publishing houses in the country have told me that, whatever their personal wishes in the circumstances, they would not feel it ethical to endanger their business and the property rights of their stockholders by publishing critical books relative to American foreign policy since 1933.  And there is good reason for that hesitancy.  The book clubs and the main sales outlets for books are controlled by powerful pressure groups which are opposed to truth on such matters.  These outlets not only refuse to market critical books in this field but also threaten to boycott other books by these publishers who defy their blackout ultimatum.”¹³

18. Hide enforced government decisions behind privately owned corporations: Government orders are often funneled through “private organizations” such as social media companies in order to get around constitutional issues. For examples, the CDC coordinated with major social media and tech companies to control information about the COVID-19 vaccines.  Twitter, Facebook and other social media companies do this routinely on many issues.   Senior Google engineer Zach Vorhies leaked 950 pages of internal documents that demonstrate that Google used censorship, blacklist, and machine learning algorithms to rig the 2020 election.  “Fact checkers”, i.e. individuals paid to enforce false establishment propaganda, are highlighted by social media and search engines as a defense against disapproved messaging.  Reddit and Wikipedia are both highly compromised as well.  The social media companies are happy to oblige given they self-select for extreme liberalism demonstrated by their employee donations to candidates by party in 2018: 

    

19. Utilize the FBI and Department of Justice to spy on and target prominent opposition figures.  A declassified FISA report stated that the FBI ran 3.1 million illegal FISA searches on American citizens in 2017 alone, compared to 7,500 combined searches by the NSA and CIA in the same year.  It later came out that the law firm Perkins Coie had its own NSA search terminal set up in its D.C. offices to spy on domestic opposition; it was placed there to provide the perpetrators protection.  In 2023 the DOJ Inspector General revealed that more than 10,000 federal employees have access to the NSA database for surveillance inquiries, more than 3.4 million search queries were ran between 12/1/2020 and 11/30/2021, and approximately 30% were outside the rules and regulations that govern warrantless search, showing the pattern of illegal governmental behavior had only expanded. The FBI can now look at your web browsing history, emails, anything you have ever typed on your phone or computer, any audio you have made in the vicinity of your digital devices without a warrant (per Edward Snowden, the NSA picks up all of that data as part of Total Information Awareness).  Then they use parallel construction to prosecute.  See also the Room 641A controversy, a telecom interception facility operated by AT&T for the NSA as part of its warrantless surveillance program and a facility that is likely copied throughout the country.
    
    The FBI should be considered the Praetorian Guard equivalent of the elites.  Their top objective is to shield the corrupt elite from harm from populists while their secondary objectives are to proactively crush any populism arising from the public¹⁴ and to craft narratives that support these objectives, such as convincing mentally ill young men to commit terrorist attacks and to frame white Christians.¹⁵    According to Chuck Schumer, “Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.”  The FBI even frames high-level politicians such as long-serving Republican Senator Ted Stevens in order to ruin his re-election prospects. The case was thrown out with the judge citing prosecutorial misconduct after Stevens had already lost the election and the prosecutors almost faced criminal prosecution.

    

    To serve and protect - the globohomo elites.

20. Psychology, Psychiatry and Mental Illness: The establishment wants to stick as many people on SSRIs and mood stabilization medications as possible to the point it is placed in the nation’s drinking water.  They claim people are depressed, but most depression is caused by the cognitive dissonance a person feels between societal pressure to conform to industrial society’s demands and one’s inability to conform to those demands, or otherwise a desire to live a lifestyle not in accordance with those demands, which will be discussed in Part 6. 

Put these tactics together and the government has a robust ability to quash or redirect thoughts and speech that it disapproves of.  This is not to say that the establishment is omnipotent and is destined to win forever or that there is nothing to be done by dissidents: the more the establishment uses their tools to manipulate and destroy their opposition, the more people wake up to their overall malice and illegitimacy.  The amount of legitimacy and support the establishment has shed in their attempt to take down Trump, “fortify” the 2020 election, and crack down on legitimate free speech has been eye opening and illuminating to millions of people, and more are waking up every day.

***

If the country is falling apart at the seams, indoctrinated and sick, dying from a fentanyl epidemic with open borders, facing a large and increasing wealth gap between rich and poor, skyrocketing crime rates and the masses fooled by meta-narratives, can the government itself fix these problems either by a reform-minded president or from bureaucratic changes? This is where we turn to next in Part 5.

1. This incident was highly crystallizing.  Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski brushed past Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields in a crowded room to make room for Trump to pass, and she claimed he violently assaulted her.  The incident was caught on video from multiple angles.  Neoconservatives like Shapiro as well as liberals called for Lewandowski to be fired for "assault", despite the clear video evidence to the contrary.   If people of different political persuasions can't agree on the interpretation of clear-cut video evidence, what hope is there for agreement on anything else?

2. Nick Cannon was fired by ViacomCBS in 2020 for remarks construed as “anti-semitic”. He issued a groveling apology the next day. He was then allowed to resume his career, but with the stipulation that he must do his master's commands moving forward.   In 2023 Cannon was coerced into hosting Jonathan Greenblatt of the ADL to denounce Kanye West. Cannon must not enjoy being a financial terror victim/hostage, but with so many kids by so many different women, he is in no position to declare independence.

3. Fox is controlled by Rupert Murdoch's son Lachlan, an anti-Trump GOPe corporatist at best, while his brother James (who stepped down from co-control in 2020) is either an NPC or sociopathic liberal.  i.e. see here, here, and here. Rupert Murdoch has hated Trump since 2015 and actively attempted to undermine him.

4. Also owned by the Murdochs.

5. As Solzhenitsyn stated in The Gulag Archipelago, “If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart? During the life of any heart this line keeps changing place; sometimes it is squeezed one way by exuberant evil and sometimes it shifts to allow enough space for good to flourish. One and the same human being is, at various ages, under various circumstances, a totally different human being. At times he is close to being a devil, at times to sainthood. But his name doesn’t change, and to that name we ascribe the whole lot, good and evil.”

6. In the video he says "Break down the barriers and disregard the police.  The capitol belongs to us now".  The video is here, so long as it remains online. Then he encouraged his followers to destroy evidence, but he is still not charged.

7. The CIA is on record that they utilize heart attack guns to kill people with heart attacks leaving no trace, what are the odds a prominent government critic died from a heart attack at 43? And then his coroner was murdered under “suspicious circumstances” two months later.

“The Ultimate Coincidence

On September 1, 1983, the Korean Air Lines Flight 007, en route from Alaska to Seoul, was obliterated by air-to-air missiles from a Soviet interceptor. All 269 passengers and crew, including 61 Americans, were lost, Soviet fighters had trailed the plane for over two hours. Nearly all observers agreed that it could not have been shot down without top clearance from Moscow. The question was: Why did the Soviets do it? Why did they risk the inevitable backlash of world opinion to eliminate a harmless civilian airliner? There had to be something or someone on board important enough to make the consequences worth it. There was — someone all but ignored by the mass media: Dr. Lawrence Patton McDonald, member of Congress.

McDonald was the most dedicated anti-Communist on Capitol Hill. The Review Of The News noted: "From the time he took his oath of office in 1975 until the moment of his death, Congressman McDonald had systematically carried out a campaign against the Soviet Communists of a sort which no other U.S. elected official had ever done on his own." Author Jeffrey St. John, in his book about he KAL 007 tragedy, Day of the Cobra, observed: "Congressman Lawrence McDonald had spent his entire career warning against the use of terrorism as an instrument of Soviet policy* particularly the use of the threat of nuclear war by the Kremlin as a weapon to paralyze the United States and its Western allies' will to resist." McDonald was Washington's most outspoken critic of trade and technology transfer to the USSR. He was the president and founder of the Western Goals Foundation, which produced books and videotapes on Soviet-generated terror and espionage. He had recently written a series of articles about Yuri Andropov and the KGB, Voting appraisals gave him the most conservative rating in Congress during his five terms in office. And most significantly, Lawrence McDonald was chairman of The John Birch Society — the world's largest and most sophisticated anti-Communist organization. He was condemned in Pravda, Izuestia, and on Radio Moscow. Dr. Lawrence McDonald was, arguably, the Kremlin's number one enemy.

The odds against such a man 'just happening" to be on the flight the Soviets destroyed were astronomical. Yet the news media neglected the obvious potential significance. After the incident, a host of "experts" were called in who assured the public that there was no specific reason for the attack — instead, they explained , it was due to the generalized phenomenon of Soviet "paranoia concerning their airspace." The following statement by Secretary of State George Shultz was typical:

The answer to the broader question of motivation seems to lie in the character of the Soviet Union. There is a massive concern for security, a massive paranoia, and I think this act was an expression of that excessive concern over security.

It should be noted that as chairman of The John Birch Society ( JBS), McDonald was not only an archenemy of the Soviet Union, but of the American Establishment — of which the JBS is the most vocal critic. For years, the Society has been intellectually at crossed swords with the CFR. Congressman McDonald even wrote the fore- word to Gary Attends The Rockefeller File, in which he spoke out against "the drive of the Rockefellers and their allies to create a one-world government, combining super-capitalism and Communism under the same tent . . ."

When Lawrence McDonald established the Western Goals Foundation, its stated purpose was "to rebuild and strengthen the political, economic, and social structure of the United States and Western Civilization so as to make any merger with totalitarians impossible," Such a merger now looms closer than ever before. When the CFR delegation paid a visit to Gorbachev and his minions in February 1987, one could only reflect on how timely McDonald's removal was for the globalist vision.

Lawrence McDonald is dead, but his cause survives — and so does the organization he left behind.”

Also, Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov expressed the opinion that he wouldn't be surprised if the Soviet Union had shot down Korean Air Lines Flight 007 in order to kill him.

The Federal Reserve Board, a Government board, has cheated the Government of the United States out of enough money to pay the national debt.” - Louis T. McFadden, June 10, 1932.  There were several attempts on his life. In the first assassination attempt, McFadden dodged two bullets fired at him at close range. The second was when McFadden was poisoned at a banquet. In 1936, he was taken ill at his hotel and died of coronary thrombosis [at only 60 years old], but many speculate his death as suspicious.

12. One example of this is Musk's rationale to keep Alex Jones banned for suggesting Sandy Hook was a hoax.  He stated, "My firstborn child died in my arms. I felt his last heartbeat. I have no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame.” Yet Musk's son died from SIDS at 10 weeks old and his ex-wife said he did not hold him in his arms when it happened. How are these events relatable?  As Bill Maher said previously, "If you’re a liberal, you’re supposed to be for free speech. That’s free speech for the speech you hate. That’s what free speech means. We’re losing the thread of the concepts that are important to this country. If you care about the real American shit or you don’t. And if you do, it goes for every side. I don’t like Alex Jones, but Alex Jones gets to speak. Everybody gets to speak." 

Or see Justice Thurgood Marshall in Procunier v. Martinez (1974): "The First Amendment serves not only the needs of the polity but also those of the human spirit — a spirit that demands self-expression. Such expression is an integral part of the development of ideas and a sense of identity.”  While Twitter is theoretically a privately owned company, evidence increasingly reveals it as completely controlled by the U.S. government.

13. Perloff, 180-181.

14. It’s a little ironic that the FBI and the other intelligence agencies exist to quash the rise of radical populists but Hitler, who is seen as the arch-version of this type, started out as the German version of an FBI employee spying on right-wing orgs: "After World War I, Hitler returned to Munich. Without formal education or career prospects, he remained in the army. In July 1919 he was appointed Verbindungsmann (intelligence agent) of an Aufklärungskommando (reconnaissance unit) of the Reichswehr, assigned to influence other soldiers and to infiltrate the German Workers' Party (DAP).” 

15. Per Sundance: “The FBI was fully aware of the Boston Marathon bombers, the Tsarnaev brothers, before they executed their plot.  The FBI took no action.  The FBI knew about the San Bernardino terrorists, specifically Tasfeen Malik, and were monitoring her communications before her and Syed Farook executed their attack killing 14 people and leaving 22 others seriously injured.  The FBI took no action.  The FBI knew Colorado grocery store shooter Ahmad Alissa before he executed his attack.  The FBI took no action. 

The FBI knew in advance of the Pulse Nightclub shooter (Omar Mateen) and were tipped off by the local sheriff. The FBI knew in advance of the San Bernardino Terrorists (Tashfeen Malik). The FBI knew in advance of the Boston Marathon Bombers (the Tsarnaev brothers) tipped off by Russians.  The FBI knew in advance of the Parkland High School shooter (Nikolas Cruz). The FBI knew in advance of the Fort Hood shooter (Nidal Hasan), and the FBI knew in advance of Colorado grocery store shooter Ahmad al-Aliwi Alissa.  The FBI took no action. Consider the case of the first recorded ISIS attack on U.S. soil in Garland, Texas in 2015.  The FBI not only knew the shooters n advance, the FBI took the shooters to the venue and were standing only a few yards away when [they] opened fire.  Yes, you read that correctly – the FBI took the terrorists to the event and then watched it unfold.  “An FBI trainer suggested in an interview with “60 Minutes” that, had the attack been bigger, the agency’s numerous ties to the shooter would have led to a congressional investigation.” 

Remember, shortly before the 2018 mid-term election, when Ceasar Syoc – a man living in his van – was caught sending “energetic material that can become combustible when subjected to heat or friction”, or what FBI Director Christopher Wray called “not hoax devices“?   Remember how sketchy everything about that was, including the child-like perpetrator telling a judge later than he was trying to walk back his guilty plea because he was tricked into signing a confession for a crime he did not create. Or more recently, the goofball plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer that involved 18 suspects, twelve of them actually working for the FBI as the plot was hatched?  And we cannot forget the January 6th. DC protest turned insurrection effort, which is clearly looking like an FBI inspired and coordinated effort. Have we forgotten the Atlanta “Olympic Park Bombing”, and the FBI intentionally setting up transparently innocent, Richard Jewel? Then, there’s the entirety of the FBI conduct in “Spygate”, the demonstrably evident FBI operation to conduct political surveillance against Donald Trump using their investigative authorities; and the downstream consequences of a massive institutional effort to cover up one of the biggest justice department scandals in history…”
