Totalitarianism Not
Wandering through the wilderness of disinformation, looking for the enchanted land
I’ve been struggling what to write about. There seems a quickening; one can hardly write about a current issue/topic before something new overwhelms the dialogue. Not surprising, this being 2024 and surely the most consequential election in the history of America.
The Deep State says you need to vote for Kamala, because she was born to lead America, and like Joe Biden she would never, unlike that orange hitler, fire anyone, because obviously the last four years have been the best ever, and everything is going great and can only get better, as long as you vote for Kamala.
Here’s a version of the story at the US Naval Institute News website, which confirms that the navy currently has no other oilers in the region.
Read that letter from the 741 retired national security officials, including a big group of retired flag officers, in this context. The people assuring you that only Kamala Harris has the strength and the wisdom to preserve the lethality of the American military are the generation of leaders who built…this:
Because you have to understand, everything is better now. Repeat with me, everything is better now.
Because you will believe, we know what is best, everything we do makes the world better, everything we say is truth, everything we do and say is evolution and it will be the future without question.
Walter Kirn: Yeah. I can’t guarantee that my experiments will prove that your regime and your ideology are the truth of the universe.
Matt Taibbi: Right. Exactly. And from there, what happens?
Walter Kirn: Well, they say, “Oh, I see you’re not quite as reformed as we thought you were. You’re still harboring these ideas about truth outside the party and outside the state. Well, we won’t have that.” And they just condemn him …
Matt Taibbi: Yep. Take him out and shoot him.
Walter Kirn: And they take him out and shoot him. And his last thought as he’s facing the firing squad, indeed, the thought which causes him to not even notice the bullets flying is a memory of the faces of his students. And so it’s a rather didactic story in that it has a point, and it’s a pretty unmistakable point. Which is that you owe more to the truth, and particularly, to those you’ve taught to respect the truth than you do to the state, any state. He becomes a martyr, in other words, despite himself, but a martyr for something he... for a cause he didn’t realize would be at stake. He never quite expected that they would say, “You’ll have to lie about the nature of the universe. Not just about politics, not just about whether you like us or not.”
Obviously too, questioning the truth and evolution of everything getting better, means you may have to go to jail or have everything taken from you, to detour others from disinformation and lies.
Hillary Clinton: ... just as Mueller indicted a lot of Russians who were engaged in direct election interference and boosting Trump back in 2016. But I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda, and whether they should be civilly or even in some cases, criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence because the Russians are unlikely, except in a very few cases, to ever stand trial in the United States. They’re not going to be going to a country where they can be extradited or even returning to the United States, unless they are very foolish. So I think we need to uncover all of the connections and make it very clear that you could vote however you want, but we are not going to let adversaries, whether it is Russia, China, Iran, or anybody else, basically, try to influence Americans as to how we should vote in picking our leaders.
You just have to understand, there is the media that tells the Truth, and everyone else who lies. No question, we have to reign in our media environment, to protect democracy from disinformation.
Because, see, you bring this violence, this taking of everything you have, everything you care about and love, upon yourself.
It should be clear to anyone who has been paying attention since Trump announced his candidacy for president back in 2015 that the left’s consistent use of incendiary language (framing him as a Russian agent, as literally Hitler, and as an existential threat to America and democracy) doesn’t just dehumanize him. It also fosters a volatile climate where political violence against him and his supporters becomes justifiable — especially to individuals who increasingly see themselves as “defenders of democracy” or “anti-fascists.”
The left, however, doesn’t see it that way. In fact, even after a second assassination attempt, Democrats and the media still believe it is not their rhetoric that is to blame for the attempts on Trump’s life, but rather Trump himself.
Now, as long as you believe and understand that what we say is the truth, you have nothing at all to worry about.
What is one to make, therefore, of the recent Israeli en masse use of explosives placed in common personal items, killing scores and critically wounding thousands across the state of Lebanon?….
Rather we will look at the proof of concept that this incursion into brutal military engagement at the level of individual civilian commodities delivers: the transformation of ubiquitous devices into channels of liquidation.
We are all addicted to our smartphones, are we not?
The entire collective consciousness of human beings is now consumed and furthered, roiled and spat back into recycled infinite garbage of information by the technology we can no longer do without, or leave behind and still continue to operate in modern society.
Because you see, the borders will remain open for anyone to cross, because the majority of men in this country insist on supporting the Orange Hitler, and so it is your Christian and Civic duty to allow as many fighting aged males to cross the border, to prey upon protect women and children from this fascist, domestic-terroroist threat.
Men of America, we need to have some real talk about something.
America is approaching one of the most important and consequential days in our history—and we are in danger of fucking it up.
I’m writing this on National Daughters Day and according to many polls, nearly sixty percent of us are still planning on voting for Donald Trump in the upcoming election.
If these estimates hold and we become the single greatest reason he ascends to power again, it will be a collective failure of us as fathers, as husbands, as partners, as sons and brothers and friends and neighbors and coworkers.
We will have knowingly participated in a legislative assault on women’s bodies, we will have turned our backs on our responsibility to protect the girls and women in our care, and we will have declared that the female population of this nation is less important than our tenuous masculinity.
We will move from being fathers and spouses and partners and sons—and we will become willing accomplices.
You see, America will be a multicultural, trans pederast, anti-racist utopia.
Yes, it really is as simple as “We hate white people and want their stuff.” Any problem in America, any particular group’s struggles, any unequal outcome or “disparate impact” is reduced to a single causal variable: white people being racist. This is no exaggeration—
Ah, white privilege. White fragility. All of that stuff. You’ve seen this feedback loop before: One of these radicals says something really bigoted against white people, white people understandably react, and white people’s reaction is cited as irrefutable proof of white supremacy and white fragility. It’s a catch-22. I told you: this stuff makes people crazy.
You see it in action in practical terms all the time: the “white privilege” discussion ignores the plight of poor whites, especially in rural areas, and indeed celebrates this group’s struggles and deaths. All of this group’s problems are self-inflicted, purely internal, with only itself and its culture and habits to blame. Contrast that with the plight of poor blacks, the eternal victim class, whose problems are all due to external factors, with the main external factor being white people. Leave aside the fact that very little has gotten better for black Americans as a result of these philosophies put into action. All the bombings, jailbreaks, emptying of prisons, CRT education, lessening of policing, and the promised utopia is even farther away than it was when old, boring methods were used like legal challenges, rapprochement, and a willingness to accept race-neutral systems.
This is one of Rufo’s strongest points, and one I wish he hammered a bit harder: these radicals’ and their ideas’ long, bloody record of abject failure for everybody involved.
And, you see, if you do not vote for Kamala, Orange Hitler will have control of the ubiquitous digital surveillance panopticon meant to protect democracy, and that cannot be. Only we are capable of controlling the panopticon to save democracy.
So here we have a case of a Republican governor candidate, six weeks away from a general election in a swing state that Trump desperately needs to win, who may be torpedoed based on something he may have written on an online message board under a pseudonym in 2009 - fifteen years ago. No one in the mainstream media will cover the relevant question, and very likely few if any in the alternative space either (because most of the online right simply react as a mirror image to whatever shitlib nonsense the media pushes). But the question should be apparent: how would the media have gotten Robinson’s online posts and how would they have verified that he actually wrote them? After all, if he didn’t write them then the media outlets would open themselves up to major defamation lawsuits.
Well, the answer is simple: woke members of the FBI ran NSA search database queries on Robinson to reveal everything he has written online, discussed on his phone or via text since Total Information Awareness went online (likely after 9/11). They either trawled his records themselves or used a woke AI1 to do so and highlight anything that looked interesting. Then the FBI members fed the information to their media partners and used a convoluted and frankly retarded parallel construction to pretend they researched these events independently. Simple and easy; sorted.
To translate into modern parlance, our elites will use a hyper-intelligent woke AI to scan all electronic communications, assign everyone social credit scores and cut anyone out from the economy, work and from life if their score is too low. The WEF publicly states via their occult “revelation of the method” that these social credit scores are coming to America by 2030. Programmable central bank digital currencies will be programmed so you can only use your funds in certain ways. Perhaps they will use a major crisis to implement this vision when the public panics (from World War 3 or a crashed economy, perhaps; most Americans are already destitute and living hand-to-mouth), or perhaps it will be rolled out more gradually like the war on cash. The requirements for a high social credit score will change over time to become more and more restrictive. You will likely be forced to take infinite untested mRNA COVID “vaccinations”, you won’t be able to leave your home without permission or to travel without permission, your carbon footprint will be closely monitored by the woke AI, you will only be able to buy meat occasionally, if that. And through these measures our elites eventually plan to separate themselves from humanity entirely; they will use the masses as guinea pigs for their experiments and as slaves while the elites live at a level of consumption never before seen in human history. This is where we are headed.
But, you see, everything is better now. Everything is better now. Say it again, everything is better now….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do not comply, keep your wits about you, keep your head up, your eyes open, and stop playing by the games evil sets up. Good is what builds, evil destroys, at the most basic. Evil is ascendant in America, which is to say, destruction. There are two primary ways to deal with evil when it is ascendant: to get out of it’s way and let it play itself out/consume itself, or to use it as a “thrust-block”, which is to say, use it’s momentum to kickstart a rebuild, restoring the momentum and then ascendancy of what is good. Fighting it directly when it is ascendant generally only leads to mayhem and more destruction.
I hope to have more to say about that “thrust-block” bit in future posts. In the literal mean-time, enjoy the fall. Unplug if you have to. The State propagandists have no power over you, you do not give them. Take a look at that video of that Phish girl, and remember or imagine what it was like, not to be subsumed in the digital. Life, even in the mundane, is enchanted. That is much harder to see and feel just now, in the cacophany of information messaging, especially the closer we get to the election, and in the aftermath for certain. But it is still true, this enchanted land, and it will always be true, even as there are ascendant forces in this world actively trying to make you forget. Don’t let them.
I saw the double standards creep in around 2014, about the time they started pushing the trans thing. The Transactivists would claim they were under threat, but could produce no receipts. However real women (AKA TERFS) were being chased off line and sometimes even out of jobs and living spaces often with threats of rape or death. To back this up activists published pictures of their weapons and selves 'bloodied' by threatened violence on 'TERFS'. (See the Degenderettes and their weapons display at the SF Public Library) People wonder where all the real feminists went on the subject of trans...well they were deplatformed and their lives and families threatened. In the meantime platforms like Twitter and Facebook allowed the death threats to stay up while silencing the mere voicing of the fact that men are not women.
Since that was so successful, it has continued to be weaponized in the service of 'The Message'. Just look at the current state of games journalism vs the gamers. The same thing is happening there. The same people who winge about their victimhood announce 'Bounties' for the killing or silencing of their critics and nothing is done on social media about it.
This mission creep is certainly coming for all other discourse and probably is already there in many fields. I'm not sure what the answer is, but the problem has been growing a long time and, like most of the war on our culture, it was started out in places where most people wouldn't notice for years, I mean, what normie cares about 'that gay stuff' or 'gamergate'? By the time the cracks showed it would be so entrenched as to be part of the landscape of both law and society.
Makes my skin crawl. Seems so bleak.
