The 1/6 narrative has been chock full of plot holes, blatant falsehoods and virulent spin since day one, and now it's being used to roll out "domestic terror" policies designed to target anyone who opposes the US status quo. The American left should be very concerned about this.
See:
The White House mentions leftists EXPLICITLY, not implicitly.
whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl…
I'm not gonna finger wag at all the US leftists who picked up the CNN narrative and ran with it thinking it was an opportunity to rally leftists, but it's definitely time to stop feeding into that bullshit now and focus on what this has clearly always actually been about.

Transhumanism assumes we've already done the human thing and we've taken it as far as it can go so now it's time to become cyborgs, when hardly anyone is able to sit in their own skin and simply *be*, much less explore the deeper levels of their being. Maybe try humanning first.
Transhumanists are all "Right, did the human thing, now it's time for the next thing." It's like dude, no you didn't. Humanity has barely even been born. You haven't taken the time to explore what's in this room and already you're storming on to the next one. Be here for a sec.
I mean just the fact that spiritual enlightenment is a known, well-documented phenomenon should give us pause here. What's going on with that? What lies down that rabbit hole? You're just going to walk right past it and start knitting your neurons to machinery and stuff?

The left is not failing, it is being actively sabotaged. It is being sabotaged with psyops in our own society by the same power structure which sabotages the left in foreign nations around the world. COINTELPRO-like tactics with 100% certainty continue today, especially online.
It seems like leftists are way too hard on each other about the difficulties they have in getting the revolution off the ground, and they shouldn't because it's not really their fault. The whole movement's been hammered with mass-scale psyops for generations, and continues to be.
And it does no good to get paranoid about this and try to figure out who is and isn't an infiltrator; the temptation to do that is itself part of the psyop, because it causes division and enmity. All we can do is keep chugging along doing our best, inwardly and outwardly.

“Billionaire ownership of major news outlets is but another tool the billionaire class deploys for the purpose of wealth defense. It gives them the power to set the terms of the agenda and influence public opinion in their favor,” Ocampo told MintPress.
It's not that the billionaires who own the media actively lean over journalists' shoulders telling them what to write (though it often seems that way), it's that they control who runs the media corporations—and therefore who gets hired and promoted—from the top down.
"The Washington Post is among the most powerful, influential, and widely-read media outlets in the United States. Its position as the dominant newspaper in the nation’s capital reinforces its place as a thought-leading, agenda-setting publication."

The UFO story has less public interest than you'd expect because there's no partisan angle to it, so a lot of people don't know how to relate to it. Viral stories are generally the ones which validate people's egos in some way, and this one doesn't do that for most people.
Same reason nobody cares about Yemen. It's easily the most horrific thing happening in our world, and our governments have actively been participating in that horror, but because it doesn't fit into the partisan lens we've been trained to see the world through, no one cares.
In a society that's as enslaved to the ego as ours is, a story's only going to get a ton of white hot interest if it flatters or inflames the ego in some way. If it confirms our biases, proves us right about the party we hate, it sells like crack. Otherwise it just fizzles.

America's Soup-Brained President Says The US Never Interferes In Other Countries' Elections

"That the entire press corps did not erupt in side-splitting laughter at this ridiculous utterance is in itself proof that western news media is pure propaganda."
caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/americas-sou…
During an astonishingly sycophantic press conference after the Geneva summit with Vladimir Putin, President Biden posited a hypothetical scenario about what the world would think of the US if it were interfering in foreign elections and everybody knew it.
That the entire press corps did not erupt in side-splitting laughter at this utterance proves western news media is pure propaganda. The US has directly interfered in scores of foreign elections since WW2, not counting all its other regime change ops.

"You can't say my president has dementia! You're not a doctor!"

Dude literally just compare footage from G7 to footage of him a few years ago. If all his very obvious mental lapses aren't enough to convince you, the fact that he's indisputably a completely different man should.
I mean first of all the whole world saw stuff like this. This isn't something you can just keep in your house anymore, Bobby Joe.
Secondly, compare the above footage to the man in this video. These are not the same person. If you tell me you can't see the massive difference, you are lying.
