via How To Kill A Sacred Cow podcast: James Corbett of The Corbett Report joins us to talk about the bait and switch narratives used by authoritarians to enact ever harsher controls on the proles. If the history of the media has taught us anything, it’s that it is a tool used to frame events that conform to agendas hashed out in smoke filled rooms to benefit the few, while the rest of us do the killing and sacrificing. Not a bad deal for them; a raw deal for us. By looking at the unfolding Ukrainian conflict and the fake news and decontextualized stories that make them up, we can see the game for what it is. A bunch of slogans and false narratives cobbled together to form an authoritarian prison.
