If you’ve been reading the posts I reserve exclusively for this Substack, it would be easy to believe that I think there is no hope in the face of the growing suppression of free speech and attacks on anyone who isn’t regurgitating the narrative put out by the “Cathedral.” Honestly, depending on the day, I often find myself questioning my own thoughts. Those who are part of my inner circle assure me this is healthy, that I should be questioning where my thoughts are on a constant basis. So, a question that is often posed to me is, “do you have hope?” If I didn’t possess even a sliver of positive belief in future change, I would just stop doing what I’m doing and stop painting a target on my back and head for the border. However, I do see some hope out there.
What happened with the Reddit group WallStreetBets (WSB) had me smiling for days. For someone who came about his anti-political beliefs screaming “End the Fed,” I am one who knows that the stock market is a rigged game where the initiated always win, and even when they don’t, the State is there to bail them out. To watch hedge funds (HF); who collude to “short” certain stocks which potentially destroy the companies they target, get spanked by a bunch of autists in a Reddit group, was amusing to me. Then to see these autists taunt not only the HF, but the corporate media and politicians who rushed to defend the HF, was pure joy. Do I believe this will make a lasting dent in their system? Yes and no. No, not monetarily. But yes in that many normies witnessed this and had to swallow a little bit of a red pill.
Brian “Little Piggie” Stelter, host of CNN’s “rElIaBlE sOuRcEs,” recently said on his ill-named show that those on the Right who are crying censorship, especially Senator Josh Hawley, who had a book deal pulled “post-insurrection” (Stelter’s term), are just whining. He goes on to say that he endorses a “harm reduction model.” To explain this model, he compares narratives that are counter to CNN’s to polluted air and suggests that non-approved narratives would be excluded, not censored, in order to reduce pollution and make the environment breathable. He champions “big tech” platforms for removing “Stop the Steal nonsense,” and says that “reducing a liars reach is not the same as censoring freedom of speech.” Now, many of you will read that and be alarmed. I think it’s hilarious. Even normies hear this and cringe. The “Cathedral” has reached a point where they’re only reporting for themselves.
If Stelter and his cohorts continue pushing this narrative, and groups like WSB keep forming to attack the legacy system, we should have nothing but hope for the future. Yes, the “Cathedral” can scare a population into embracing their “spicy flu” narrative, but this? This goes way beyond what even a “Cathedral” educated drone will accept. As long as we keep highlighting their narrative, and pointing it out to whoever we can, they will melt like the Wicked Witch of the West. They’re not even trying to hide their agenda anymore.
Do you see anything that can be done to help the mask slip further, or just watch it happen and laugh?
