Covid-19 and Our Competing Narratives
Covid-19 and Our Competing Narratives It’s fascinating to watch the competing narratives regarding Covid-19 and risk assessment duke it out across the media universe (from social to mainstream to alternate media). As I’ve increasingly come to believe, we all believe what we want to believe. The continuum of beliefs seems to be that: we have […]
Life Minus Narrative
Life Minus Narrative Pretty much all I do here is sit and look at what humanity’s overall problems seem to be and find different ways to point at those problems and talk about them. The longer I do this, the clearer it becomes that there isn’t actually any separation between the struggle of our species […]

You Are Fighting In The Most Important Battle Of All Time If you are reading this, it’s most likely the result of a series of events in your life which have drawn your interest and attention to the fact that our world is quite a bit different from what we’ve been told by our school teachers, […]
The Media’s 7 Years of Lies about Julian Assange Won’t Stop Now
The Media’s 7 Years of Lies about Julian Assange Won’t Stop Now Assange was reduced from one of the few towering figures of our time – a man who will have a central place in history books, if we as a species live long enough to write those books – to nothing more than a […]
America’s Venezuela Strategy: Coup By Sheer Narrative Control
America’s Venezuela Strategy: Coup By Sheer Narrative Control The Trump administration is working to overthrow the government of Venezuela. They are not at this time doing this by military invasion, nor by funneling thousands of armed militants into the country, nor even solely with starvation sanctions and CIA ops. The first and foremost means of […]
Conservatism
Conservatism Commenting on my own essays has never been my favorite activity, because before you know it you land into Russian doll territory. But a few recent comments from readers have me rethinking that, for once. Of course I understand that my expressed views over the past two years and change on the era of […]
How (And How Not) To Beat A Smear Campaign
How (And How Not) To Beat A Smear Campaign Anyone who opposes western interventionism or thinks the poor are human beings is a Russian antisemite. If you disagree, it’s because you are a Russian antisemite, too. Narrative is a funny thing. You can do everything right, cross all your ‘T’s and dot all your ‘I’s and […]
Dissidents Must Understand The Difference Between Fact And Narrative
Dissidents Must Understand The Difference Between Fact And Narrative A politician can run a flawless campaign, say all the right things from a place of authenticity, hold wildly popular positions and an impeccable public record, but if they say things which upset the powerful, the narrative can be reshaped to paint them as crazy, incompetent, […]
Incidents and Accidents, Hints and Allegations
Incidents and Accidents, Hints and Allegations Salvador Dali Spain 1936-38 (Spanish civil war) Jeremy Corbyn is an anti-semite. Julian Assange is a rapist, a Russian agent and a terrorist. Donald Trump is an anti-semite, a rapist AND a Russian agent. Vladimir Putin wants to invade and enslave the entire western world and to that end […]
How Humanity Could Become Impossible To Propagandize
How Humanity Could Become Impossible To Propagandize I’ve been writing a lot about how the ability to control public narratives is the only real power in this world, and how the need of the ruling elites to wield that power explains everything from the feigned panic about “Russian propaganda” to Wikipedia’s bizarre editing policies to […]
10 Years Automatic Earth
10 Years Automatic Earth Winslow Homer Mending the nets 1881 Yes, it’s 10 years ago today, on January 22 2008, that Nicole Foss and I published our first article on the Automatic Earth (the first few years on Blogger). And, well, obviously, a lot has happened in those 10 years. For ourselves, we went from […]
The Deep State’s Dominant Narratives and Authority Are Crumbling
The Deep State’s Dominant Narratives and Authority Are Crumbling This is why the Deep State is fracturing: its narratives no longer align with the evidence. As this chart from Google Trends illustrates, interest in the Deep State has increased dramatically in 2017. The term/topic has clearly moved from the specialist realm to the mainstream. I’ve been […]
Why you can’t argue with a “modern”
Why you can’t argue with a “modern” The modern world is filled with things many of us regard as antiquated and old-fashioned. Modern people often say that ancient rituals are mere superstition, that science tells us what is real and what is not, and that we are now free from ideas including untestable ideas from […]
Climate change is our grand narrative now
Climate change is our grand narrative now There is the story of our personal lives: our family, our friends, our jobs, our hobbies. There is the story of our communities: our civic, religious, business, artistic and recreational lives. There is the story of our nations: their internal political struggles and their struggles with each other. […]
