Propaganda & Gas-Lighting

Propaganda: The Art of Selling Lies

Our country has been manipulated more than previous history since the advent of television. It has been the most successful technology invented for decades — until now. With the creation of the various social media software systems, we are now being manipulated even worse than before.

Please read the following and think about what you’re being told and why.

The communist goals for America spell out the Left’s plan to destroy us. The propaganda is getting so insane that they are to the point of imitating ‘Bagdad Bob’ (an Iraqi social commentator) who said they were winning the U.S.-Iraq war and beating the enemy back while American tanks drove behind him on TV..? [Sound familiar?]

Goal #20 states: “Infiltrate the press. Get control of book review assignments, editorial writing, and policy making positions.” [Change history so society accepts what you preach.]

Goal #21 states: “Gain control of key positions in radio,TV, and motion pictures.” [Hollywood is rife with ‘progressive thinkers’ — aka – socialists.]

The propaganda in the media is getting so insane today that it is to the point of imitating ‘Bagdad Bob’ (an Iraqi social commentator) who said Iraq was winning the U.S.-Iraq war and beating the enemy back, while American tanks drove behind him on TV..? [Sound familiar?]

Now we are experiencing ‘Gas Lighting‘ which is synonymous with what we are witnessing today.

Gaslighting:

The term originates in the systematic psychological manipulation of a victim by her husband in Patrick Hamilton’s 1938 stage play Gas Light, and the film adaptations released in 1940 and 1944. In the story, the husband attempts to convince his wife and others that she is insane by manipulating small elements of their environment and insisting that she is mistaken, remembering things incorrectly, or delusional when she points out these changes. The play’s title alludes to how the abusive husband slowly dims the gas lights in their home, while pretending nothing has changed, in an effort to make his wife doubt her own perceptions. The wife repeatedly asks her husband to confirm her perceptions about the dimming lights, but in defiance of reality, he keeps insisting that the lights are the same and instead it is she who is going insane.

Today we are living in a perpetual state of gas-lighting. The reality that we are being told by the media is at complete odds with what we are seeing with our own two eyes. And when we question the false reality that we are being presented, or we claim that what we see is that actual reality, we are vilified as racist or bigots or just plain crazy. You’re not racist. You’re not crazy. You’re being gas-lighted.

New York State has twice as many deaths from Covid-19 than any other state, and New York has accounted for one fifth of all Covid-19 deaths, but we are told that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has handled the pandemic better than any other governor. But if we support policies of Governors whose states had only a fraction of the infections and deaths as New York, were called anti-science and want people to die. So, we ask ourselves, am I crazy? No, you’re being gas-lighted.

We see mobs of people looting stores, smashing windows, setting cars on fire and burning down buildings, but we are told that these demonstrations are peaceful protests, and when we call this destruction of our cities, riots, we are called racists. So, we ask ourselves, am I crazy? No, you’re being gas-lighted.

We see the major problem destroying many inner-cities is crime; murder, gang violence, drug dealing, drive-by shootings, armed robbery, but we are told that it is not crime, but the police that are the problem in the inner-cities. We are told we must de-fund the police and remove law enforcement from crime-riddled cities to make them safer But if we advocate for more policing in cities overrun by crime, we are accused of being white supremacists and racists. So, we ask ourselves, am I crazy? No, you’re being gas-lighted.

Communist countries killed over 100 million people in the 20th century. Communist countries strip their citizens of basic human rights, dictate every aspect of their lives, treat their citizens as slaves, and drive their economies into the ground, but we are told that Communism is the fairest, most equitable, freest, and most prosperous economic system in the world. So, we ask ourselves, am I crazy? No, you’re being gas-lighted.

The most egregious example of gas-lighting is the concept of white fragility. You spend your life trying to be a good person, trying to treat people fairly and with respect. You disavow racism and bigotry in all its forms. You judge people solely on the content of their character and not by the color of their skin. You don’t discriminate based on race or ethnicity. But you are told you are a racist, not because of something you did or said, but solely because of the color of your skin. You know instinctively that charging someone with racism because of their skin color is itself racist. Yet, you are told that your defense of yourself is proof of your racism. So, we ask ourselves, am I crazy? No, you’re being gas-lighted.

Gas-lighting has become one of the most pervasive and destructive tactics in American politics. It is the exact opposite of what our political system was meant to be. It deals in lies and psychological coercion, and not the truth and intellectual discourse. If you ever ask yourself if you’re crazy, you are not. Crazy people aren’t sane enough to ask themselves if they are crazy. So, trust yourself, believe what’s in your heart. Trust your eyes over what you are told. Never listen to the people who tell you that you are crazy, because you are not, you’re being gas-lighted.

Sophocles once said: “What people believe prevails over the truth.”

And that’s what the media is trying to exploit.

Stay tuned… it’s going to get a lot worse — until America wakes up!!
