Government and media propaganda is alive and well in the U.S.
So-called 'climate change' and the fake COVID pandemic are the best proof you will ever have that our government, in collusion withe media, lie to us on a daily basis

If you know the story of "The Emperor's New Clothes," by Hans Christian Andersen, you understand the meaning of propaganda: A mass campaign of deception meant to cause people to act in certain ways. (Read it, if you haven't.)
As the story goes, the emperor’s courtiers and his people were afraid to speak the truth in spite of the obvious fact because they were led to believe the truth was less important than the perception and perpetration of a lie. The propaganda campaign in the story convinced the king’s court and the kingdom’s citizens that if they dared to point out the truth of the naked Emperor, they were stupid and incompetent fools.
But a young boy was brave enough to blurt out, "But the Emperor has nothing at all on!" At that moment, the propaganda scheme was exposed. Truth set the people free. The story is a perfect allegory of mob psychology and how effective it can be in shaping the thoughts of men and women.
Sadly, most people don't want to be the lone voice in the wilderness shouting out the truth, “But the Emperor has nothing at all on!” They are afraid to speak up.
The Andersen story is one of the first to tweak an arrogant government’s ego in telling convenient lies and daring anyone to counter them. Undoubtedly, such lies have been told from the time language was first used. The leadership must not be exposed, their incompetence and their true agenda must be cloaked.
Hearken back to 1948. The era of the Cold War begins and the United States Congress along with the State Department set up Voice of America (VOA) to send radio messages to the rest of the world. The messages could be biased misinformation or disinformation, what used to be commonly known as propaganda.
VOA was to expose the lies of the communists and convince subjugated their people that the emperors had no clothes. At the same time, in order to protect the American people from their own government, Congress passed the Smith-Mundt Act which prohibited our government from using our departments, agencies, and tax dollars to propagandize the American public.
Our media outlets are intended to be a "free press" as stated in the First Amendment. Smith-Mundt was designed to protect that God-given right from government interference. Without that protection, all manner of media can be usurped by political operatives within our government, likely for sinister purposes.
Fast forward again, this time to 2012. Under the Obama Administration, Congress reversed the Smith-Mundt protections. They buried the "Smith-Mundt Modernization Act" in the National Defense Authorization Act which passed and was signed by Obama in 2013.
"Modernization" meant they dropped the propaganda protections and allowed government agencies and bureaucrats to create media "news" and opinion to spoon-feed the American public. It is written in typical legalese, a convoluted language no one but corrupt lawyers understand.
It nonetheless creates a huge loophole for the State Department and the Board of Broadcast Governors to create and disseminate all the propaganda they want toward Americans, effectively using their own taxpayer dollars to brainwash them.
Fast forward yet again to 2020. Using the fake COVID pandemic as a backdrop the sinister World Economic Council (WEC), founded by German economist Klaus Schwab — steeped in Fascism by his Nazi father — proposed remaking the world in his image: The Great Reset.
Schwab famously said in a videoed WEC interview that “you will own nothing and be happy.” He intends to reduce the world economy to ashes, forcing transition to electric vehicles as well as wind and solar power, while forbidding traditional fossil fuel exploration and development.
Of course, these restrictions only apply to the countries and populations of developed countries — the U.S., Europe, Australia, Japan and most South American nations.
China, Africa and other emerging industrial nations would be allowed to continue their pollution, fossil-fuel energy exploration and other practices forbidden to the remaining democracies in the world. It should be obvious this propaganda machine is designed to institute worldwide Fascism — bloodlessly, without firing a shot.
Fast forward once more to today, 2022. In the age of too much information, how is it that the mainstream news outlets are parroting the same exact talking points verbatim at the same times? You can't help but see it and hear it. It's coordinated. Even the language and syntax are identical
So much news doesn't match the reality on the ground. So much news is now opinion rather than facts. The so-called “mainstream media” (MSM) news agencies have become the media arm of the government. The government is neither reluctant nor reticent in using these media to create a false narrative by which they hope to control us all in every aspect of our lives.
This is psy-ops, a mob psychology type of operation that originated in the military. It is a narrative you dare not question.
There are myriad examples to cite. Perhaps the most obvious propaganda machine would be the "Global Warming" hoax. There continues to be no real evidence of a climate disaster that has been hyped but that has failed to materialize for the last 50 years.
Strategists behind the deception have renamed it "Climate Change" in an effort to salvage a worldwide government money-grabbing operation solely designed to impoverish citizens of the world and isolate them, thereby making you more easily controlled.
Within that idiocy, CO2 has been declared a threat to the planet, when in fact it is a trace gas that admittedly has great consequence ― but not in the way these frauds would have you believe.
Without CO2, there would be zero plant life, as plants “exhale” oxygen following photosynthesis and “inhale” CO2 in order to survive. Conversely, we inhale oxygen and exhale CO2. It is God’s perfect unfathomable plan, but if I didn't know better, I'd think some purveyors of this propaganda have a personal agenda to kill the population.
But I digress. Maybe. This is state-sanctioned propaganda at its worst.
Then there is COVID. Even now that the fake pandemic is over, we still have media "yelling fire in a crowded theater." Propagandists wearing the mantle of “trusted journalists” cause panic, lying to this very hour about “increased infection rates, hospitalizations and new cases.”
The irony is that none of those pseudo-statistics accurately represent a “threat,” which in fact does not exist at all. Governments and media are trying to force us to again shut down the entire economy, threatening our livelihoods and banning normal activities due to a virus that turns out to be no more lethal than seasonal flu.
If you still doubt that, consider that two years ago, hospitals were told to focus entirely on this novel coronavirus and close all other health related activities, including serious surgeries that people need. People died as a result, and almost all those deaths were falsely attributed to COVID. Hospitals were empty and medical personnel furloughed due to this "focus on this one virus" manufactured panic.
If I didn't know better, I'd think some purveyors of this information have a personal agenda to wreck the U.S. economy and completely co-opt our health care and decisions.
But again, I digress. Maybe. State-sanctioned propaganda at its worst.
COVID is proving, in retrospect, to be the greatest mass propaganda scheme gleefully delivered by the mainstream media in our history. Even with Fauci, et al totally discredited as frauds, quacks and scientific heretics, media continue to grossly and adamantly lie.
The tell is the reality on the ground.
There are around 6,200,000 people in Missouri, where I live. The final official tally of COVID dead in our state — which is likely grossly inflated because a stroke victim or cancer patient who died while having COVID was counted (and still is) as a COVID death — totals 23,118. That's 0.00373% of the population.
That compares to fully a half-percent of the U.S. population that died from the Spanish Flu, or 134 times the COVID death rate. COVID was not a pandemic.
Use your eyes, ears and brains! Yes, I'm yelling, the emperor has no clothes.
Like the boy in Andersen's story who bravely blurted out, "But the Emperor has nothing at all on," it needs to be said here and now in America. "Our media and the government have no truth!"
Congress: Repeal the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act! Force our media and our government to tell the truth.
