In the really 1980s, there was a Soviet kind of propaganda mouthpiece newspaper in India called The Patriot. And this would just publish like KGB propaganda. Wow. In India. In India, yeah. And one of the stories in that newspaper was basically saying AIDS was created in a government laboratory.

Their propaganda commanders will just pick an issue or two, always something mindless like Elon's hailing Hitler, you know, silly stuff like that, or that Trump's going to kill the migrants, made up stuff like that.

He just yells Jussie Smollett and thinks like, okay, great. Alex makes a gigantic deal out of these rare instances and pretends the thousands of times he's been wrong never happened because this has the effect of subtly tricking the audience into thinking that he's right way more frequently than he actually is. It's a pretty simple and very intentional manipulation tactic and I guess it works.

And that is a fraudulent perspective that's being passed off by this. This strategic propaganda tactic.

The idea here is to pretend that there's some media outlet, in this case, Real Clear Politics, that has swung things away from Biden and towards Trump, because this creates the illusion of momentum. With no tangible victories and no real hope to point to, it's important for these assholes in the right-wing propaganda sphere to create their own fuel, and this is one of the ways they do that.

So it's really hard to capture something like this by just playing clips, but I want to stress to you that at the end of this episode, Bill is making a very serious point of predicting that there will be more bombings as the New World Order brings in their utopian socialist tyranny. This is an important point of the conspiracy that Bill is spinning about the event being a false flag. This prediction essentially sets a condition where, if you see more bombings, Bill's credibility goes up. This is a pretty common trick that scam folks and propagandists use, like when Alex says that there's going to be more mass shootings and somehow this prediction proves his assertion that the current mass shooting is a false flag. I'll give Bill some points for difficulty, though. Bombings are a bit less common than mass shootings in the Alex Jones time period, but it's the same behavior.

My suspicion is that he absolutely does know what that video shows, but also recognizes its power as a propaganda tool, and so does Alex. That's why he gets super excited about the video and he wants to see it. It's not out of concern for people who are caring about the situation. It's because he knows he can use it to scare his audience into buying his shit.

We write up some templates, and if you can plug Trump into one of these templates, Then you know it's bad because these are shit written by Goebbels and pro-Stalinists and Putinists and all of these people. And if you can just put Trump in there, then we know it's a bad idea.

Alex is trying to evoke fears of government overthrow in his audience, whether it's the globalists overthrowing the government and his audience having to fight back against it, or if whatever it is, there's something he's doing with the fear of overthrow here. But the audio that he's chosen to heighten that mood is specifically something that's fake.

What Alex and Candace are doing here is a classic propaganda tactic. Because Alex knows that he can't really address the actual complaints and very serious issues that are being brought up about ICE and Border Patrol without either condemning Trump or overtly supporting abusing detainees, he moves the goalposts. People are talking about detainee abuse in Camp X, so he provides footage of and discussion of Camp Y to pretend to demonstrate that all the hoopla about Camp X is just overblown virtue signaling and the left being out of their minds. I try to be sensitive about this and I try to avoid comparing things to the Holocaust. But Alex is literally mimicking Nazi propaganda strategies.

But there are people like Alex, and there are people, you know, propagandists of all variety that create scapegoats. And it's a very compelling and very powerful thing to exploit in somebody. And so people like Alex, people like, I mean, historically there have been hundreds of him. And what they do is they create this perception that X, Y, or Z group is the reason why you can't enjoy your life the way that you feel like you should, whether or not there's any truth to it. There's obviously... Very real reasons why people aren't able to live as comfortably and happily as they would like, but distracting from that by scapegoating some population is way easier. So you get people to jump on board with your scapegoat and demonizing that scapegoat as if, if we can just deal with that issue, we'll have what we want.

That the propagandists' weapon and their advantage over decent people is weaponizing the unknown. Like the idea of we don't know all the facts. I mean, you can get all if you're a decent person, you can watch that video of this father and not come away with it with any confusion or suspicion or anything like that. But a lot of these other things, the anomalies that he's already starting to bring up of his own accord, things like the second shooter ideas and stuff like that, he weaponizes the idea that we don't all have the reporting on it. We don't have the information. And it just bums me out to such an extent that I can't prove this, but I don't understand how this isn't a financial motive for him.

One thing that remains constant from a decade ago to now is the thing that I hate most about Alex. And it's the thing that I hate most about so many of these guys. But Alex is like the number one guy I know who... Will directly assert the exact opposite of reality.

Will directly assert the exact opposite of reality. Like so many people... And then say that anyone who's expressing reality is doing that. Exactly. Like so many people in the right-wing propaganda sphere try and twist it. They try and spin it. They try and do all of this stuff. They try and take reality and make it mean something else. And Alex just says directly, the... Opposite of what you say is true.

There's this thing that's really important to understand, and it's what Alex Jones and Webster Tarpley and all of these assholes do. It's the way they do their propaganda. What they do is they make an extravagant, unsupported, sensational claim. They don't prove it. And then you're like, no. And then they're like, prove me wrong. You can't play that game. That game is a losing game because, like, no, I don't have to prove that. Now it's your job to prove that Rahm wrote the fucking 2008 bailout bill where he was deeply involved in it. Right, right. Because you're the one who made the claim.

Yeah, but I think that one of the problems for us fixing everything is something that we've sort of touched on a little bit over the course of these shows that we do. And that is that the things that Alex Jones and people like him, especially, people who are cruel propagandists, they seek to, whether it's intentional or not, is really fucking difficult to figure out, but I feel like it is. They seek to get rid of the avenues by which people can have that waking up experience. In the same way that cults try and limit access to outside world information, like the internet that could disprove them. Oh, absolutely.

Because this shit is weak too, Mike Adams has to play a three-card Monty game with this article in order to distract the reader from realizing he's saying nothing. He brings up the Interoception article, which I'll talk about in a minute. Then he quickly goes to how the globalists have created sonic weapons in order to implant that idea in his readers' heads about what the article must be about. And that's what Alex is reading on air, talking about what he believes this study to be about. Right. So Mike Adams throws up a graphic where there are wiggle lines, and then, unrelated to that, says, you know... Sonic weapons are real, and then comes back to it as though those two were related. Instead, sonic weapons are like a non-sequitur in this whole situation. Only to be precise about it, he brings up sonic weapons early, so that idea is implanted in your mind, so later when he puts that graphic on, you're like, squiggly lines. Squiggly lines, sonic weapons. Makes sense.

I don't want to go gerbils on your ass, but this is the big lie. This is the strategy of the big lie. He's played the clip on the show before, and we've heard it. We understand what is being said. Soros is not in any way saying that we did this. We lowered the price of oil. He's only saying here are the effects, some of which are advantageous, about the fact that the price of oil has lowered. Alex constantly repeating, Soros admits that he lowered the price of gas in order to attack Russia, Venezuela, and these other countries. That is the strategy of the big lie. Because eventually he's not going to play that clip anymore. He didn't play the clip on this show. He hasn't played it since the last time we listened to it. He's going to let that be the interpretation of the clip. And I think he's going to build on that later.

So this is the cowardly way Alex always presents most of his fear-based narratives. He's making it much more overt in that clip than he usually does, but it is the like, if we do something, then my fear won't come to pass, and then that will be what ends up happening inevitably. I know that the outcome of this is we're going to bounce back from the crash that happened. I know that things are going to normalize and we're going to be okay. And all they're going to do is call it a bad recession when what it really was was a manufactured event to try and test whether or not they're going to be able to steal your guns. And whenever they don't steal your guns, you'll know it's because we stopped it because they didn't steal your guns and they're lying to you about it just being a bad recession. It definitely isn't that it was just a bad recession. It's caused by 20 years of terrible fucking management after the deregulation of okay, never mind. It's self-confirming propaganda, which is the most dangerous sort because if you're dumb, you'll just buy into it and you'll be like, okay, well, no matter what, you don't realize that no matter what outcome, Alex gets to pretend he's right. It's cheating. It's basically just a three-card Monty game that he's playing with his audience. He knows where the queen is all the time. He's fucking fleecing you. That's all.

So, Alex has this caller, Zach, and the game that he played, I apologize to everyone who listened to yesterday's episode, but the game was, he says that he knows all of the information about what happened, but he can't talk about it. Then, the guest that he has, Shepard Ambulus, and this caller say a bunch of stuff. After the call, Alex is like, can you believe it? That's all the secret information I had. He plays that game a lot.

Which anybody who expresses a way out of your victimization narratives. When Alex Jones exposes or exploits the job loss in the Midwest and in the coal mining territories, when he exploits the pain of people who have lost people to opiate addiction, when he exploits the fear of immigrants and these sorts of things, all he's doing is providing a convenient scapegoat in the fake globalists that he talks about all the time, exactly the same way Hitler did with the Jew bankers and the Jews in general.

And you see how he conveniently gets around having to deal with any of those issues by over-demonizing the imagined group, the globalists. He turns them into literal, the most evil things in the world, and by comparison, Putin's pretty good compared to that. That's what you would want to do if you were trying to defend a terrible person. You would make the alternative even worse. That's the best way to do it.

Corsi is trying to pull this kind of cynical, evil propaganda campaign to achieve his goals.
