Welcome to The Daily Wrap Up, a concise show dedicated to bringing you the most relevant independent news, as we see it, from the last 24 hours (6/27/18).
You are being manipulated.
If you are taking part in this hyper-emotional immigration debate, fueled largely by misrepresentation, misinformation and misunderstandings, all stoked and urged on by the mainstream media, you are being manipulated. It does indeed revolve around real children, and real families with real problems that deserve our attention, but nonetheless, they are being used by those who care naught for their well-being or the hardships they endure. They are being used as pawns in a much larger and more sinister game.
I see plenty within the independent media, many of whom I greatly respect, also buying into it hook line and sinker; be that because they feel it is worthy of coverage or because they know it will get views. There is something to be said for covering what the people want to see, but that is not what I am here for, that is not what I do. I will never simply cover a story because it is popular, or what everyone is talking about. I will always cover what I feel is most relevant, current and important in bringing you the truth. Sometimes those two things do intersect, but I say again: this entire thing is being used, manufactured and pushed, to keep you where they want you, and far too many are taking the bait. Just as Noam Chomsky said:
“The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum.”
Which is exactly what we are seeing today. Just as I said in my article yesterday, we are being kept at a near constant state of emotional outrage for the primary purpose of overcoming our logic; we are at our least analytical when emotions are flaring, that is simple fact. This is precisely why this tactic is being used to keep us distracted and at each other’s throats, while we miss all the real moves being made around us.
Which is why we see the mainstream media and politicians on either side of the false divide, vehemently arguing about this issue while all of them knowingly ignore what their own policies have not only maintained, but intensified overseas, in particular in Yemen. Which the first story in the video below gets into — the fact that according to the UN almost 70% of all children killed in Yemen are a direct result of the US-backed Saudi-led coalition’s actions; 370 in fact. So how can these so-called “pundits” cry over immigrant children being mishandled, while willfully ignoring actual deaths of children at the hands of the same entities? Or at the very least, as a direct result of their actions? They could just as easily claim, with the very same outrage and contempt, that the Trump administration is allowing children to die in Yemen, as opposed to simply being mistreated in the US — yet we get silence. Why is that? It is because they do not care about either. The immigration issue is a distraction, a smoke screen, to keep us worked-up and focused anywhere but where it matters — such as the action being carried out in Yemen with your tax dollars. And do not misunderstand, these kids in the US absolutely deserve better and it should be addressed, yet the way they are being used is despicable.
Overall this is just another issue being put in a partisan box to divide us, which allows them to do what they want. If we are screaming at each other, not only does the issue we are screaming about move ahead independent of what either side wants, all the really important stuff they don’t want us talking about also moves forward near unacknowledged; because we know the mainstream propaganda outlets — who have long since given up on trying to appear non-partisan, which the job used to require — will never talk about what they are told to ignore.
By giving the masses two sides of a fake argument, getting either side emotionally involved, and letting us loose on each other, they no longer have to worry about the majority standing against their imperialistic policies. Not that unifying would truly stop them today anyway, but the difference would be that the world would see the current power establishment for what it truly is, an oligarchy, a regime in every sense of the word that operates independent of those they pretend to serve, to maintain an air of respectability and moral authority.
Many in the world long ago recognized and saw through this facade, and more are beginning to see it as well. But as long as they can get the masses invested in the system, even if just to attack one another, the real America will continue to be a mirage of what it could be, should we choose to shake ourselves free of this hypnotic and deceptive dance we have been tricked into thinking was of our own creation. It might have been at one point, but the music has changed, and as soon as we stop and look around, it becomes quite clear that we are no longer even dancing. They have stolen this country from us, and we are too enraged at each other to even notice. So for all of our sakes, stop dancing, and look around.
Please take the information discussed in the video below and research for yourself, and come to your own conclusions. As anyone telling you what the truth is, or claiming they have the answer, is likely leading you astray, for one reason or another. Stay Vigilant.
