May The Unseen Be Seen

"May what is unseen become seen.

May the hidden dynamics of oligarchy and empire be revealed to all of humanity.

May the depravity of the powerful be exposed before everyone.

May government secrecy end."
caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/may-the-unse…
May the public become aware of the pervasiveness of mass media propaganda.

May people realize that they've been deceived about the world since childhood.

May there be a widespread recognition that things are not as they seem.
May obfuscation and distortion be replaced with truth and clarity.

May the public grow more conscious of the reality of class dynamics.

May the public see money for the made-up game that it is.
May people begin clearly perceiving the horrors of war and economic sanctions.

May awareness sink in of the need for urgent climate action.

May we clearly see the existential need to begin collaborating with each other and with our ecosystem before we destroy it all.
May we all become conscious of racial and sexual dynamics and inequalities.

May we all look squarely at the unacceptable cruelty of factory farming.

May manipulators and abusers everywhere be recognized for what they are.
May abusive dynamics everywhere be clearly seen: in nations, in communities, in families, in relationships.

May unwholesome interpersonal relationships move into clarity or meet a natural end.

May unjust restrictions on consciousness-expanding substances be ended.
May everyone everywhere become conscious of their inner workings.

May our psychological trauma move into the light where it can be healed.

May our unconscious mental and perceptual habits move into consciousness.
May we all become conscious of the illusory nature of self and separation.

May we all become conscious of how experience is really happening.

May we all become conscious of our own true nature.

May we all see clearly what is happening, both inwardly and outwardly.
May we use our clear perception to move efficaciously in this world, and collaborate as one toward health and harmony.

May we build a sane and healthy world together that is based on truth and clear seeing.

Amen.

The most destructive force on our planet is human unconsciousness. Unconsciousness of the realities of large-scale human power dynamics, and unconsciousness of our own inner dynamics. The most compassionate desire you can have for the world is for the expansion of consciousness.
Expansion of consciousness just means a growing awareness of truth. A growing awareness of the truth of our large-scale collective dynamics as a species, and a growing awareness of our inner processes as individuals. All of our problems trace back to a lack of this awareness.
The most noble intention you can have for the world is therefore for everyone to become aware of the truth. The truth within, and the truth without, whatever that might be. If this happened, all our collective problems would vanish. Suffering and full consciousness can't coexist.

Stop protecting sexual predators. All of them. Not just the ones in the rival political faction. This sick dynamic where each side only criticizes the predation of the other side rests on the unspoken, bat shit insane premise that only the other faction has men who are predators.
The way sexual predation by powerful men is only ever attacked by their political rivals proves that rape still in 2021 is not taken seriously by our society. Still to this day it is first and foremost a weapon of political convenience, not an urgent problem which must be solved.
Still in 2021 it's "Yes rape culture is bad, half of us will deal with it when it is politically convenient for us to do so."

Sure is odd how western mass media pour so much energy into convincing the world to trust an obscure foreign "rescue" group on the other side of the planet, given that pulling people out of buildings in a far off nation would in fact require no trust from any foreigners at all.
Hi we're the western media and it's very, very, VERY important that you place your explicit trust in this obscure foreign rescue group for some reason. We will tell you this over and over again until you accept it as true.
Almost like the White Helmets really are, as John Pilger famously said, a complete propaganda construct.

The People Haven't Risen Up For The Same Reason Abuse Victims Don't Leave Their Abusers

“People say, ‘Oh, it can’t have been that bad, because she would’ve left.’ And it’s like, no, because it was that bad, I couldn’t leave.”
~ FKA twigs on Shia LaBeouf
caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/the-people-h…
There was a great exchange in a recent interview with singer-songwriter FKA twigs regarding her relationship with actor Shia LaBeouf, who she is currently suing for "relentless abuse" including assault and sexual battery.

"Because it was that bad, I couldn't leave."
This is what so few people understand about abusive relationships. People see friends and family members stuck in relationships that are obviously horrible and say "She should leave him! Why doesn't she just leave??"

The Empire Attacks BDS For The Same Reason Nixon Started The Drug War

"Anyone of sufficient influence who is far enough outside the capitalist, imperialist consensus worldview will necessarily find themselves similarly targeted"
caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/the-empire-a…
The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that Arkansas' anti-BDS law violates the First Amendment of the US Constitution, because it plainly does.

This is an important victory for civil rights defenders and for Palestinian rights activists, but it's just one battle in a much larger war.

As long as the ruling class is successfully using mass-scale narrative manipulation, it won't matter what political strategies you employ because they'll just manipulate that too. Everything we try will be neutered by propaganda until fighting propaganda becomes our #1 priority.
The narratives around your insurgent third party will be manipulated to the advantage of the powerful. Your progressive takeover of the Democrats will be narrative managed into impotence. You can't politics your way around narrative manipulation. You've got to make it THE issue.
You don't measure how effective someone is against the machine by what their campaign platform says or what their strategies are, but by how disruptive they are to the narratives and narrative control of the powerful. If they're not disruptive on that front they're not effective.
