Corporate Media’s Constant Lies Blaze Paths For Political Violence

Russia “collusion.” “Peaceful” protests. Mask mandates. Vaxx mandates. Don’t-leave-your-house mandates. Don’t question the canvassers. Jan. 6. Two-tiered-justice target on your back. “Misinformation.” Mutilate your body. Kill your child. Kill free speech. Kill your political enemy.

For too long, we have been fed chaos. And for too long, we have been told it is reality. We have been told to forget what we see, forget what we hear; we have been told to ignore what we know. Layer after layer of doubt upon misconstrued fact upon convenient cover-up upon censored content upon corruption.

The leftist media know that chaos begets chaos. They know that mass hysteria begets fear. And they know that exploited fear is the primary means of mind control. They have slowly and strategically unleashed a full-on psychological attack against the critical thought capabilities of the American people — an attack so gradual and persistent, many have no idea they have been taken captive.

This is especially evident following the assassination attempt against former President Trump during a Pennsylvania campaign rally on Saturday.

Following the event — although details and hypotheses regarding the shooter’s affiliations and motivations are continuing to emerge — many conservative and independent voices spoke out against the left’s ceaseless categorization of the former president as a fascist dictator who embodies the fiery and hellish end of the free world.

“The assassination attempt on President Trump is a logical consequence of his Deep State opponents repeatedly comparing him to Adolf Hitler,” wrote former Democrat representative turned independent Tulsi Gibbard on X. “After all, if Trump truly was another Hitler, wouldn’t it be their moral duty to assassinate him?”

“Democrats and anti-Trumpers have spent the past three years calling the political opposition a life-or-death threat,” my colleague Eddie Scarry wrote following the assassination attempt on Saturday, “They claim they’ll be imprisoned and people will die if their opposition gains power, while they themselves attempt to imprison and now kill the opposition.”

The two-tiered system of justice and targeted lawfare Trump faced over recent months have also been twisted by the media, subtly framed as justification for this extreme, “Down With The Fascist” rhetoric. It’s one of the main platforms currently keeping Biden’s 2024 campaign above water.

They keep shouting: “CONVICTED CRIMINAL! 34 FELONY COUNTS!” until you don’t even remember what the charges brought against him actually were, or the fact that “nobody can quite articulate what crime was committed,” as my colleague Tristan Justice put it following Trump’s New York conviction in May.

All of this as Election Day gets closer and closer.

Even after Americans watched on live television as shots were fired at the former president, media conglomerates still won’t let up. In a piece from The Atlantic published Sunday morning, staff writer David Frum appears to equate the violence committed during Saturday’s assassination attempt to Trump himself, once again heralding the “Would-Be Dictator” as a “fascist” threat to “democracy.”

“Those who stand against Trump and his allies must find the will and the language to explain why these crimes, past and planned, are all wrong, all intolerable — and how the gunman and Trump, at their opposite ends of a bullet’s trajectory, are nonetheless joined together as common enemies of law and democracy,” Frum writes.

“Trump is the three-time nominee of the Republican Party; it’s awkward and strange to treat him as an insurrectionist against the American state … ,” writes Frum earlier in the piece.

But that’s exactly what the media have been doing — unabashedly — for the last eight years.

Frum and his fellow media conglomerates’ willingness — no, eagerness — to classify an American president as “an insurrectionist against the American state” is indicative of a much larger threat to our nation.

One of the most insidious aspects of the media’s mind control is its destructive and dishonest refusal to follow arguments to their logical ends. Amid the media’s unwillingness to acknowledge the implications of its own rhetoric, Americans have followed it blindly — right to the edge of the psychological slippery slope made evident on Saturday.

Maintain the peddled lies of the Russia “collusion” hoax while covering up Biden’s corruption at all costs, and you get government-funded censorship and internal election interference that laugh in the face of the First Amendment. Look people in the eye and tell them the BLM riots of 2020 were “peaceful,” and you create a new definition of “peace.” Tell children they were not created fearfully and wonderfully, and they “create” themselves by destroying the next generation.

Cancel those who question the government and paint them as domestic terrorists while telling the masses that life as they know it is in danger as long as Trump is around — and you might just provoke an assassination attempt.
