Matthew Ehret via LRC suggests that any attempt at questioning the kind of opposition figures that are thrown up is wrong, because if the opposition were always controlled, the globalists would have long ago achieved their goals and the situation is hopeless.
He may have qualified this opening remark on the rest of the show, which I didn’t watch, so possibly I have him wrong.
In any case, let me refute his argument for the strawman it is.
NO ONE is saying that EVERY opposition to the globalist project is run by the globalists themselves. That is so obviously a distortion of any reasonable understanding of the dialectic as to be a red herring.
Thousands, possibly tens of thousands, of people are wide awake and know what is going on. I draw that conclusion from looking at comment sections, usually pseudonymous, on the web. None of these people is controlled except to the degree they censor themselves, out of prudence or moderators and trolls distort and tar their comments.
HOWEVER, this opposition, while certainly visible at a lower level and indirectly influential, does not directly affect the power centers, whose operating assumptions have already factored in their discontent and channelled it into much more visible and directly influential TALKING HEADS, who are almost always vetted and in conformity to certain parameters, while allowed leeway to argue WITHIN those parameters.
What about patriotic and influential groups within the power network, such as, intelligence or military groups, who disclose or leak information to scuttle ongoing globalist plans?
OF COURSE these are real points of opposition. And the proof is that some globalist projects are at least temporarily scuttled.
Ehret argues that the globalists should already have accomplished their goals, if there was that much controlled opposition.
Here, I need to rub my eyes.
Where the devil does Matt Ehret live? When I read the papers, I see millions of people, even those with access to the net and the leisure to read, walking around with face masks, getting multiples injections, locking themselves up in their homes, announcing their pronouns, and displaying other signs of complete capitulation to the demands of the government. That looks like mission accomplished to me.
I see two sets of Orthodox Slavs busy inflicting tremendous damage to their motherland, to their churches, their people, their economies, and their future, while ENABLING and DISTRACTING from the globalist policies that have actually exported inflation and starvation around the world. I see NATO, which was irrelevant before, now thriving and expanding, and the military industrial awash with new money.
I see millions if not billions of small businesses shut down forever, ancient crafts destroyed for eternity and their owners expropriated and enslaved to debt, over the last decade or so and hardly any articles in the media about this ongoing catastrophic destruction.
Instead, the leaders of resistance genuflect before the golden calf, beg forgiveness for trivial statements from idolators of the calf, and jail and silence its critics. And you tell me they are NOT leaders controlled by the system and I should SWALLOW their claims without any qualification?
If the globalists have postponed some of their plans, missed targeted outcomes here and there and do stand exposed for their machinations, this is NOT due to highly visible semi or fully controlled FIGURE HEADS, but due to tens of thousands of internet warriors, many long dead or disappeared who have spoken out truthfully over the decades and indeed centuries [through republished samizdat texts revived by the web] to inform the world. Whether they were at one time agents or compromised, whether they were bigots or racists, or jihadis, or Nazis, or Bolsheviks, Gentiles, Talmudists, snake charmers or wizards ultimately does not matter, if their material was truthful.
TRUTH percolates up from the ground. It grows like a mustard seed from the ground.
ASTRO TURF, NEEDING MONEY, BRANDING, NETWORKS, AND PARAMETERS, COMES FROM ABOVE.
