Welcome to the post-truth world. You know it’s not real. But you accept it as normal. There is more out there.
HyperNormalisation. We live in a time of great uncertainty and confusion. Events keep happening that seem inexplicable and out of control. Donald Trump, Brexit, the War in Syria, the endless migrant crisis, random bomb attacks. And those who are supposed to be in power are paralysed – they have no idea what to do.
This film is the epic story of how we got to this strange place. It explains not only why these chaotic events are happening – but also why we, and our politicians, cannot understand them.
It shows that what has happened is that all of us in the West – not just the politicians and the journalists and the experts, but we ourselves – have retreated into a simplified, and often completely fake version of the world. Because it is all around us we accept it as normal. But there is another world outside. Forces that politicians tried to forget and bury forty years ago – that then festered and mutated – but which are now turning on us with a vengeful fury. Piercing through the wall of our fake world. — HyperNormalisation : Adam Curtis
The problem with normal is that is always gets worse.
Don’t look now but a federal judge reinstated the fed employee vax mandate and every democrat or CPUSA comrade voted against a proposed amendment to a domestic terrorism bill that would have prevented American intelligence and security agencies from receiving taxpayer funds to “monitor, analyze, investigate or prosecute” Americans unvaccinated against COVID-19.

The BBC is a member in good standing of Globohomo. My God, the lies it has told over the past few decades! A pity really, as I used to turn to it for world news on a short-wave radio when I was out of the country. But I gave that up long ago.
Now I simply ignore whatever it says. The subject matter is irrelevant.

a simple 15 second BBC radio piece on even the blandest of topics, say making a pumpkin pie, will leave me knowing it’s all my damn fault.

“Welcome to the post-truth world.”
==============
No.
Stop trying to pretty it up.
There is no such thing as “post-truth”.
What the writer really meant was “Welcome to the lying assed world”, but chose to lie about it.
When discovered, I reject all lies outright, especially when they are *told about me*.
And, I’ll ridicule the shit out of the lie teller, goading it to go “kinetic” as they say.
If you require truth you must reject the lies.
It’s possible to do this in reality but impossible in the fake reality.
Seems some folk can no longer tell one from the other.
They are useless, maybe worse. shrug
**Watch for a certain cowardly, lying pedophile troll to show up now that I’ve triggered it.

This is something which would flummox your rulers. It was written by a man who drives a forklift in a warehouse. Never went to university. It’s not supposed to think. It’s not supposed to write. It’s supposed to die!
“Our masters have socially engineered society into a hellish incarnation of an archaic death-cult wherein the trans lunatics get to play out their roles as demented ‘‘kings for a day, fools for a lifetime’’ by lauding it over civilizational norms. They wear their mutilated organs which can’t engage in sex or procreation as abominable parodies of fertility. The very essence of life is mocked and derided in a warped frenzy of malicious narcissism and hatred of normality.
The world-planners must be proud of their trans-creations in the same way Australian farmers were once proud that the Myxomatosis virus had taken hold in the first few rabbits. People who manage land and animals have traditionally done so by shooting and culling pest populations manually or with traps. Myxomatosis relied on a different strategy which involved infecting rabbits with a virus which slowly and gradually blinded and gelded them. If the disease killed too quickly it would be less efficient because the virus would not have the chance to spread.”

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
