TST 5/5/23 - Voldemort Zelensk666 Wags the Dogs of War

from The Secret Teachings · host Ryan Gable

Star Wars and Harry Potter are ultimate representations of good and evil. This simplification of light and darkness is also a false dichotomy fallacy the likes of which is used for political issues that are painted in the same way. The 1997 movie Wag the Dog portrays how a Hollywood producer is enlisted to produce a fake war for television to distract from political scandals. Of course, this is what governments do when prices are high and people are miserable - a war is always the remedy. However, “war is a racket” (SB) and “not meant to be won.” War is “meant to be continuous… waged by the ruling group against its own subjects,” writes Orwell. The rhetoric, images, and narrative of war only has to appeal to the lowest common denominators. In 2022 33% of Rs supported the war in Ukraine and 61% of Ds. Recently its 42% of Rs and 79% of Ds support the insanity. And public support has increased from 48% to 59%, demonstrating why unchecked democracy is a threat to everything. If 59% want to support the bipartisan Ukraine Victory Resolution then the scorched earth policy of a Zero-Russian policy can be justified, even if it means worst-case-scenarios are coldly accepted alongside of the best-case-scenarios. This is radical extremism and is demonstrated with other issues too: zero-disease, zero-emissions, etc. It doesn’t really matter who was responsible for the drones over Moscow, or how absurd the story was. What matters is who it appeals to - everyone with their finger on the doomsday button, which if pressed, may not launch nuclear weapons so much as result in people annihilating themselves by rejecting all common sense and civility. ‘No blood for oil’ has transformed into ‘scorched earth policy for nothing’.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings--5328407/support.Thank you for supporting independent, unbiased inquiry into the mysteries of our world.
