Subverting Spectacle
Perpetuating systematic fraud on the scale of the US government requires active support by academia, media, and commerce. Indoctrination through education, information and advertising thus bolster official propaganda in a circular reinforcement of the distorted world view required for institutionalized fraud to continue unchallenged.
As a closed loop system designed to prevent penetration of independent ideas, perspectives or analysis, this totalitarian cover-up of crimes against humanity -- exercised to sustain the system -- remains all-encompassing until some unmediated event or thought breaks through. And when that happens, all sectors of the loop scramble to attack the intruder, rapidly responding to explain away the cognitive dissonance introduced by the momentary glimpse of reality.
Producing fantasy in Hollywood and Washington is by now such a prescribed art, that the psychological warfare conducted 24/7 against the minds of all Americans has become child's play. Few even question their fantasies as such.
Competing with this systematic deception by following the rules established by and for the high criminals themselves is ridiculous; that is why Guy DeBord and Kalle Lasn urged subverting spectacle and jamming culture as crucial to free thought. Just offering an alternative point of view is not enough.
Given the total war attitude of those attempting to maintain their unearned privileges obtained by the supreme fraud, we who are not governing authorities can set aside for the time being any notions of diplomacy and concentrate on winning the war. There will be plenty of time to negotiate when we have the strength to make our threat to autocracy real.
