Part 2 of my “deep thoughts” on Covid Covid “narratives." Part 1 tried to show that "conventional wisdom" that is often false or dubious is used to justify policies that control the lives of virtually every world inhabitant. "Those who control the narratives control the world."
How does one really change/correct even one bogus and harmful narrative? Is this even possible?
Hope hasn’t been extinguished yet. It’s possible. However, when the entire system is staffed with people who have massive incentives to to protect fraudulent narratives, this is probably not likely.
The best strategy might be to try to harpoon one bogus narrative. The thought here being that if the masses belatedly realized that their “trusted” authorities had told a giant whopper about A, the same people might realize that these infallible experts might have also told a whopper about B, C, D … and Z. (This example also tells us how important it is to the Bad Guys to not be exposed for any lie).
There’s nothing the world can do about all the “lockdown” lies since the lockdowns are already largely over (although exposing this fraud would, one assumes, go a long way to preventing future “insane” lockdowns).
However, if the mantra that the vaccines are “safe and effective” was somehow exposed as a lie, one of the most formidable narratives in our lifetimes would instantly crumble.
In a just world, proving this would be easy. But when the Powers that Be control the key narratives, debunking bogus narratives is almost impossible. For starters, the narrative wouldn’t have become the narrative if 200 million Americans didn’t already believe it.
Key question: Can the effects of 20 months of incessant brain-washing or propaganda evaporate in, say, a few days?
Is the co-worker, acquaintance or even family member who shamed me as an “anti-vaxxer,” a selfish individual who was putting the lives of her grandmother or children at risk, really going to say, “Ah, my bad. I apologize for that, Bill.”
It’s also not difficult to identify other details that would flow from such a narrative-destroying epiphany.
Public health officials now viewed as saviors and saints might instantly be viewed as mass-murderers who perpetrated “crimes against humanity.” This would be quite the change in one’s point of view.
And we’re not just talking about the Anthony Fauci’s of the world; we’re talking about all the public officials who spent two years spouting the same lines as the man who (in a just world) might soon be on trial at Nuremberg 2.0 Trials.
This would include an icon of many Republicans, Donald Trump, who considers his “warp speed” vaccination roll-out one of the signature events of his administration … as well as the man who defeated Trump, Joe Biden.
This would include almost every governor and mayor in the country, plus the superintendents of education and college presidents many citizens admire and respect.
Name a CEO of a major company and you have just named someone who accepted Covid falsehoods as truths, and who probably compelled their employees to get a shot that was not effective and could kill or seriously harm said employees (and has probably already killed tens of thousands of Americans).
if they were decent and big enough, every leader of every size-able organization in the world would apologize for getting such a huge issue … terribly wrong.
As one can see from these examples, the exposure of one giant “bogus narrative” entails a level of mea culpas that has never happened in world history.
This said, just because some event lacks precedent doesn’t mean it couldn’t happen. Still, I believe this thought exercise shows that it is highly unlikely a “true accounting” of Covid issues will occur … at least in our lifetimes.
The time to challenge false or dubious narratives is when they are first being promulgated, before they are established as infallible truths. After this, too many people and organizations are too invested to admit they may have bought into a giant lie.
Maybe we won't have to actually have them all admit they were wrong. I'm thinking about Nazi Germany as an example. A huge percentage of the country believed in Hitler at one point. When the depth of his madness came to light and he was destroyed, it didn't matter what anyone thought. It was like a giant, irresistible tidal wave that just swept it all away. What became of all those once "true believers?" Most of them no doubt lived out the rest of their lives with a great sense of guilt and shame. It's widely believed the collective guilt of the German people may be one reason why they adopted such crazy policies as admitting huge numbers of refugees.
People are waking up, Bill. According to some spiritually advanced individuals, the entire world is moving into an ascending age from the dark age or Kali Yuga we are leaving behind.
I hope so. Better wake up even faster! I often wonder (like many others I think) if we have passed the "tipping point." That is, is it too late to correct all these things? As my recent posts probably make clear, when EVERY important organization is corrupted, the "house-cleaning" that will be required to give future generations a fighting chance is going to have to be massive.
