Fear And Control


Why the Mainstream Media is Dialing Up the Fear

Doug Casey




The mainstream media can dial up the fear in society much like you can with the thermostat in your house. And right now, they seem to be cranking up the fear to hysterical levels.

Governments are able to enact radical policies when people are fearful.

 The great American journalist H.L. Menken once said, “The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

He was right.

Fear is one of the most powerful and primal emotions, and government has always used fear to unite the people behind it. Government—which produces nothing—only exists because of fear. Fear of foreigners is allayed by its army. Fear of domestic chaos is allayed by its police.

The media is an ideal way to transmit fear. The media has transformed itself into the government’s lapdog. It has the same talking points and communicates “the narrative” in the same way. Government and media have always worked hand in glove, of course, but today more than ever. There are no longer thousands of independent newspapers scattered across the country, just a few conglomerates that control all significant print and electronic media.

It’s a dishonest and disgusting charade.

In these times, living without "Fear" is Freedom in of itself, great start to over-coming the stupidity those clowns have, are, brewing, causing many to cow down, what a crock of BS!!! Living in stupid times is annoying, included are fake news spreading their push to have other's fear, fear, believe the lies, fear, etc..

Enough is enough, they need mind their own business, peddle their wares, jabs, germs, techno robots, patches under skin, etc... on Mars, somewhere else, hope they fly to Mars, stay there, set up their Demonic Utopia there; Hey, there ya go, take their business to control elsewhere, demons in the Universe can visit them, right?? Hell will go with them!
