Sunday Thoughts March 19, 2023

I record these in the morning for authenticity, but I get my thoughts together on Saturday by reading the headlines of regime media. An interesting thing I often notice is that the stories being pushed by regime media will not be featured on their front page. The New York Times relies on the lower-tiered media and pundits to push certain stories, like the Trump indictment, but they reserve the front page for the stuff that lets them maintain the façade of being a genuine news organization.

It speaks the deviousness of these people. They think about how they can manipulate opinion by manipulating the media system. The New York Times knows that they set the tone for certain segments of the mass media. The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and others have influence over different areas, with some overlap among all of them. One will push a new narrative and once the B and C level outlets pick it up, the other majors will produce their version of it.

You see it with the Jimmy Carter story. This was cooked up months ago and the point of it is to support the general claim that negative election outcomes, from the perspective of the regime, are the work of nefarious actors operating outside the rules of the system. This story is being pushed to the various conspiracy theorists in the system so they will add it to the over all narrative that includes the Russian collusion hoax and now the Dominion voting machine hoax.

It points to the fact that the mass media is not trying to trick the people or persuade people using propaganda in the classic sense. Most of what they do is spin yarns to support the main narratives that justify life in the managerial class. The Carter story is not for the Dirt People. It is for the Cloud people, especially the lower order Cloud People in Washington. This tale explains how they do important work combating conspiracy theories and disinformation.
