TR 607 - These "Weird" Headlines are Rewriting History and Warping Public Perspective

We'd all be wise to pay attention, take note, and then direct our awareness elsewhere.

(NOTE: My lovely editor is picking berries, so this is coming out raw.)

Back in the saddle…

The last few weeks have been a wild ride, not just in the political circus and geopolitical chaos, but in my personal life as well. It feels like I’ve been disconnected from the daily news and I haven’t written a report for ages.

In reality, it’s only been four days—but a lot can happen in four days.

Last Friday’s report (TR 606 - Blatant Lies, Ballots, and More Bizarre Breadcrumbs) took the mainstream narrative to task, and brought to light some truly bizarre scraps of information that were floating around the internet.

One of the most bizarre claims that was circulating, was the speculation that Biden had “grown taller” after getting diagnosed with COVID and disappearing for nearly a week. I’m not endorsing the theory, for obvious reasons, but—similar to The Adventures of No-Lobes Joe—it seemed prudent to point out the possibility that there was more to the rumors than one might imagine.



Interestingly enough, returning to the news today, it turns out that none other than the legendary Joe Rogan is shining light on this observably bizarre phenomenon. As he’s examining the evidence on his podcast, Rogan declared to his 14.5 million followers:

“Look at the size differences in the torsos themselves from the top of his shoulders to where - look at the buttons. … Look how much longer that human is on the left.”

Rogan’s guest Michael Malice responds in kind, “That guy walked very differently than Biden. He’s a lot taller.

How bizarre, how bizarre.

What’s fascinating to me is that these two guys have staked their reputations on being willing to “go there” and talk about things that are uncouth and unconventional, though neither of them care to entertain baseless conspiracies. If it’s bullshit, it’s bullshit, and they’ll call it out as such.

Similarly, if you’ve been with me on this learning journey, you know that I’m not prone to indulging wild-eyed conspiracy theories either. Of course, I am willing to take a look at things that are completely off most people’s radar—and, like you, I’m also keenly aware of how many conspiracies later turn out to be fact.

“Do you think there’s a body double?”
—Joe Rogan

This is a fair question, and it’s being asked by reasonable people, but alas, this is not the direction I want to go today. I don’t want to talk about the “weird” narrative being parroted by the talking heads, either, though it’s worth pointing it out in passing. Behold, the lockstep messaging:

It’s nauseating, isn’t it?

Or perhaps a more accurate pun would be to say it’s just plain weird.

Hey, did you hear that Google is already actively manipulating the algorithms to obfuscate and bury the news about the attempted assassination of Trump?

Isn’t that weird?

Simultaneously, Facebook is telling people that the assassination attempt was “fictional” and censoring the iconic image of Trump pumping his fist in the air, with blood on his face, after nearly getting shot to death by a lunatic leftist.

As always, perusing the news is a choose-your-own-reality sort of adventure.

While the truth of the assassination attempt continues to get memory-holed by the algorithms, thereby manipulating public perception and directly interfering with the upcoming election, the next act over in ring three is just kicking off.

OMG!! Israeli forces have assassinated one of Hamas’ political leaders on Iranian soil! The United Nations is calling this a “dangerous escalation” and Iran’s Supreme Leader is vowing revenge! The Middle East is a tinderbox!

What are we going to do?!!!

Well, in an unexpected twist, Fox News dropped the suggestion that Trump’s would be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks might have actually been working with the Iranian’s in his sophisticated and secretive plot to off the ex-president:

“Weeks before the attempt on Trump’s life, the Secret Service received intelligence warning of an Iranian plot to kill the former president... But while experts are skeptical of any connection between the 20-year-old would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks and Iran, they haven’t been able to access some of his communications 18 days later.

So it remains unclear who he was talking to, if anyone, and what topics would have been discussed.”

So it remains unclear who the assassin was talking to—what stellar reporting.

But what do you think is more likely: that this punk snowflake was working with the Iranian mullahs to take out Donald Trump, or that he was working with America’s own rogue intelligence operatives (like whoever the hell was packing the cell phone back and forth between the kid’s house and the FBI office)?

It’s a rhetorical question, obviously. But isn’t it fascinating how both of these stories just so happened to crop up at the exact same time? It’s almost as if someone is now playing the Iranian card, like they’re priming the pump for some terrible attack that can then be blamed on the Iranian’s retaliation against Israel.

This might pull us directly into the next world war.

Meanwhile, the Russians and Chinese are making joint military maneuvers—flexing their so-called “no limits partnership”—which has prompted NATO to take the harsh stance of establishing yet another “red line” that will inevitably get crossed.

The point is, everywhere we look, chaos is just around the corner. The threat of impending doom is being beat into our brains by all this relentless propaganda.

And yet…

It’s weird, isn’t it?

The world keeps turning. The sun keeps burning.

The birds keep chirping, the garden keeps growing, and the sky is still blue.

The question is: where is your awareness?

Where is your awareness?

Is your awareness on macro or micro level things? Is your awareness internally or externally oriented? Is it tuned into positive or negative experience?

Is your awareness fixated on mind, body, or soul?

Or, perhaps like the majority of people, your awareness is simply drifting about on the endless sea of information and immediate personal experience?

Where is your awareness?

The reason I ask, is because I ask myself often: where is my awareness?

It’s been awhile since I’ve talked about it, but by using the tool of intelligent inquiry, we can guard our hearts and minds from the onslaught of aggressive psychological manipulation. Asking questions directs our attention. Attention elevates awareness.



For example, take a moment and notice where you might be holding tension in your body. Where are you holding tension? When you become aware of the tension—say in your jaw, neck, shoulders, hips, legs, or stomach—you can relax that tension.

This is physical awareness of the body, and to me, it’s amazing how disconnected we are from our physical bodies, how much tension we carry without awareness, most of the time. Releasing this tension often can really help with tension headaches, just FYI.

We can elevate mental awareness in a similar fashion, by inquiring about the habits of our own minds. What am I thinking? Where’s my mind? How am I feeling and why?

As human beings, much of our time is spent “caught up in the head,” meaning that we are fully engrossed in our thoughts, very often to the extent that we become less aware, or even completely unaware, of the world around us.

In these moments, our thoughts become our world.

Our attitudes, emotions, motivations, and behavior all follow suit.

Thus, by trapping the masses in the illusions of mind, keeping them caught up in the world of thought, the global elites are enslaving humanity in a mental cage and effectively controlling the public’s behavior on a planetary scale.

That’s why it matters.

We are all under assault, each and every day, every single time we engage with the media. The propaganda is designed to grip the mind and pull your attention toward an emotionally provocative focal point. Doing so captures your awareness.

By capturing your awareness, they capture your time and energy and can more easily condition your thinking and behavior.

In other words, this is how they control you, and me, and everyone else.

It’s a human thing.

Think about it like a magic show. It’s what happens outside your awareness that gives the illusions life. It’s all happening right in front of you, but your attention is being misdirected, and therefore you remain unaware of what’s right before your eyes.

The same goes for the news.

While the geopolitical theater keeps our attention misdirected, the implementation of a dark and sinister anti-human agenda is happening right before our eyes. The algorithms interfering with our elections is a major issue, but it’s also a forgone conclusion. The far greater threat is the mental enslavement and spiritual assassination of humanity as a whole.

The algorithmic social interventions are quite literally, quite stealthily, rewiring the minds of the masses and conditioning the public to accept servitude as we speak.



And yet, life is still good.

Life is fundamentally good.

The future is bright and full of infinite positive potential, is it not?

The greatest threat to our future is not some catastrophic impending doom, but rather, the slow suffocation of the human spirit and the long term encroachment (and eventual eradication) of both our constitutional and basic human rights.

Ultimately, the threat is more mental than it is material.

For example, it’s more likely that the global elites are going to successfully convince the majority of people in the local community to forfeit their freedoms (and yours) for the illusions of safety, ignorantly embrace the top-down control of global digital governance, and eventually snitch out their non-compliant neighbors, than it is that the elites are going to send in storm troopers to round up all the rebels.

Think about it.

They are trying to win without firing a shot, and we need to engage accordingly.

RESIST WE MUST!
