Can You See What Is Happening?
Or are you missing the forest for the trees?
Give a dog a bone, and it will not bite! Some bones can be used over and over!
Gary D. Barnett’s articles have become mostly the only reason why I am still accepting e-mails from LewRockwell.com. Besides him, the forum that used to be halfway-decent has become a perfect panel for publishing what Barnett is calling “subplots” that divide and consume people’s attention, diverting their focus from the ongoing march to the technocrats’ bug-eating and piss-drinking paradise and from the obvious implementations of democide along the way.
The day before yesterday, another of Barnett’s article made it to LewRockwell:
I remember being so upset about people falling for such subplots that I even published an article here:
This time, Barnett’s soapbox soliloquy is hitting home, although not without a major caveat: he believes that people could do something about the globalist’s program, but fails to specify what that something could be beyond non-compliance.
As I said numerous times before, the globalist choke-hold is based on their controlling global finances and the only way out of it would be to abandon their fiat money, their central banking system, and start new local currencies.
Barnett is, however, correct about observing that out of “bread and circus” for the despicable masses, the world is inching towards a no-bread-no-circus concentration camp that has no evacuation plan, but plenty of body bags and coffins, much like the over 800, fully-operational “Green Zones” (aka. death camps) in the US that are ready to accept subjects for further “medical” (methods of chemical and radio-wave controls) and “security” (aka. torture) experiments.
His statement is accurate:
While all the subplots are important to some or even to a great extent at times, ignoring the master plan by the ruling ‘elites’ by concentrating only on all the parts, is a very dangerous attitude to accept, and can only divide us all to the benefit of those choosing to rule us. All the plots of this takeover attempt will remain, but losing sight of the big picture will be deadly.
Of course, the situation is already more than deadly, but Barnett offers a dubious solution:
Ignoring government entirely, never complying with draconian orders and mandates, and acting as independent individuals en masse in order to negate this master class entirely, is necessary if freedom is actually desired and sought.
Strangely, Barnett is copiously using the “we” pronoun in spite of emphasizing the division between people, the compartmentalized thinking that prevails among them.
He seems to suggest the obviously-fallacious idea that the soon-starving masses, whose weekly or even monthly income will not be worth a bar of soap, will be able to “ignore” the government. If that is not a form of manipulation by placing hope before trust/faith, what is? Well, his way out is by projecting a mythical concept of “freedom” that one must believe in, because it will supply hope that will be necessary for resistance. Sorry, I would believe in the Tooth Fairy before believing this nonsense.
How can I substantiate my gut feeling that Barnett represents exactly what he is saying he is opposing?
For instance, let me point out some manipulative word-usage and mythical conceptual projections in his argument!
He uses the fad word, “draconian,” a word that is only good for confirming that people are powerless and helpless, which contradicts his statement that people could do more than nothing. “Draconian” is always misused these days, because it implies that you cannot do a thing, while originally, “https://www.britannica.com/topic/Draconian-laws” in ancient Greece (621 BC), Dracon set up severe punishments for crimes (the kind of penalties that have been universal and common until a few hundred years ago, when “cruel and unusual punishments” were phased out around the early 1700s), but those punishments were not necessarily unfair, because they didn’t punish the innocent, as opposed to people being exterminated or turned into cyborgs these days. To be fair, Dracon was a bit frugal about the costs, so most of his penalties were death sentences.
“Freedom” is another manipulative word. What is “freedom,” after all? As opposed to Barnett’s claim that the globalists are taking over now, they have been in power for a long time:
The difference is that this time, they want full control over the zombified “survivors” of their ruse.
Finally, Barnett suggests that “bread and circus” was/is a malicious form of manipulation by those in power, whose objective is to control the masses in order to take advantage of them. I object: How else can you control the brainless mob people amount to most of the time, even if you are the most well-meaning ruler? Without controlling the masses, social structures and stability fall apart and the world ends up being nothing but a home for marauders and mercenaries, fighting each other for power and totally enslaving their subjects. Oops! Isn’t that what’s happening now? Not yet, at least, not quite: the globalists agree on the means and the path to totalitarianism, and it will take time before they will turn on each other, reviving the times of feudal anarchy. Human nature has always been the same. “Civilization” misled people into thinking that this time, they will be spared.
My observations furthered my suspicion that Barnett is doing exactly what he is supposedly against, at least according to his article. How else did his writing end up on LewRockwell?
Conclusion (added on September 21, 2022)
Apparently, nobody accepted the challenge and answer my question:
Why is Barnett allowed on LewRockwell, a site that overwhelmingly publishes misleading information?
As I said, I like Barnett, although his recommended solution, the public’s refusal to cooperate and obey, would have worked only in March, 2020, when I told people in vain to take off their muzzles, because that show was only a mild introduction to something significantly worse:
And it was.
At this point, his solution is a teeny bit too little and too late.
He usually tells the truth as far and as soon as he can, which is not perfect, but it is still lightyears ahead of other sources of the “opposition.” Sometimes he misses the point completely, but that hardly ever happens.
Either way, he is a lot better than his non-existent competition, so why is he allowed on LewRockwell at all?
For one, he is also coming up with something too little, too late.
Secondly, he is presented as one of several equally-appreciated sources, so his ideas are countered with nonsense from other articles, suggesting that he is only one of the psychos or loonies.
At last, but not least, LewRockwell needs readers, and publishes authors, who attract a considerable audience. Steve Kirsch, Dr. Mercola, or RFK, Jr. are some of them, so Barnett is in a company of popular authors, although he is better than they are.
It looks like he elegantly answered the question in his article: he is presented as another source of digression, as if he was as bad as most other articles on the site: he is allowed, because despite of what he is representing, he is being turned into one of the many digressions he has described.
I'm a 74 year old, barley tech savvy, I do NOT want to learn any more Tech crap. I don't want to use QR'S I can't read, or buy a new $1,000+ phone that can. Or replace gas with Green Energy that pollutes and cost more. Still don't know what it says, KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID, goes a long way. Nor am I about to let a SENILE DESPOT, TELL ME WHAT TO DO. I don't even allow my ignorant brainwashed doctors do that. I'm a educated woman, a Alpha, can't help the age thing. My Dad didn't spend 5 years in WW2, in the Philippines, killing a atrocious, cuel enemy, under Gen. MacArthur. That crappy Marshall Plan flooded our markets with cheap toxic lead painted toys, just as China is doing today. To lay down and let this Senile Despot tell me what to do.
One thing that troubles me, is this idea that keeps getting bandied about, that all we need to do.. is separate ourselves from the current system and setup our own! Our own currency and facilities etc. Yeah right! As if a controlling tyranny wouldn’t have its armed forces knock all that down in minute! See ‘David Koresh’ for details.
