Among those who call themselves conservatives today are struggling with feelings of betrayal. In the past four years, the country's direction has left many with a sense of hopelessness and despair. What can be done? Why are we being punished? First, Americans need to know that they have allowed themselves to be controlled and manipulated by the "King Makers" the media.
The media creates the political reality in America. The major networks are only successful in providing the political platform and debate in this country if we support them. What is amazing to me is that the American people continue to support the national media. If Americans were serious about the way they believe, they would stop supporting and listening to these manipulators—turn them off and stop buying from their sponsors. The one thing that vexes my Quaker soul is when someone who has limited our freedoms and liberty and made an assault on the Constitution is supported because they are nice people. No, they are not nice people; they are evil people. We need to stop giving them a pass because they are in "our political party."
The media's power has been writing the script, setting the boundaries, and controlling the political players for years. They can only be as successful as the American public allows them to be. If the national media lose control over the national debate, and people start thinking, saying, and doing things that the media cannot control, we are on the road to freedom and liberty.
Americans have bought into the boundaries of what is permissible dissent. The manipulators have established issues that are off-limits to keep Americans from controlling the political debate. There are several ways the media manipulators use to misdirect the attention of the American public. An example was the attack on our Consulate in Benghazi; it was ignored- and continues to be ignored. Most Americans have by now forgotten there were an attack and four Americans murdered by terrorist. Many Americans were caught up in the discussion of rape and abortion and ignored a terrorist attack's seriousness. So far, no one has been held accountable.
How often has a crisis been used to manipulate Americans? Rahm Emanuel stated it best when he said, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." The fear created by the manipulators is that the comfortable life is in danger of ending. Your health care will be in trouble, the elderly will lose their retirement and Medicare, women will no longer have control over their bodies, the middle-class will suffer, and the economy will collapse. The message is that something is wrong and can only be resolved by giving up more control to those who have the "answers."
America was sold the need for added security, and along came the Patriot Act. The crisis was "terrorism," the message was security and protection. The climate that was established was fear. The result was the loss of freedom and liberty.
In 2020, the COVID-19 became the "terrorist." The same manipulators created a climate of fear. The result is the loss of even more freedom and liberty.
It is this fear that has made many feel unsure who is right. People are scared to voice their disapproval of how the manipulators are controlling the country. To build on this fear, the American public's liberties and freedoms are taken away--enter the lockdowns and mask mandates. This act makes the entire country a battleground of terrorism with detention provision that exceeds constitutional bound. That says a lot about our political process. Both Republicans and Democrats can fight about petty and ridiculous issues but are willing to unite to remove from Americans their civil liberties and make a major assault against the Constitution. Added to this, our President can establish his own "kill list," which can take an American's life anywhere in the world. The manipulators must keep up the intimidation where people are afraid to speak out.
This fear and intimidation open the door to moral-manipulation. If you are afraid to speak up, it will give the impression "that everyone is doing it." Most people will take their cues from the "media stars" that support immoral life-styles and questionable ethics. The manipulators question your humanity when you disagree with what is sinful. A reversal of roles is established. The moral and ethical person is now the one who is shameful, unacceptable, and even repulsive when they speak out against the immoral and unethical people. Americans who speak against those setting the agenda are enemies of the American public.
What has been of great interest in the last few years is the "plight" of the middle-class. These are the people who are working and paying taxes. The middle-class must continue to be manipulated. The issues of jobs, taxes, health care costs, transportation costs, and food are all concerns of the middle-class. It is essential to keep the middle-class under control. To maintain control, the working-class must feel the rich and poor are taking away their way of life. There must be constant class warfare, and this is done by pitting one group against the other. The reality is if Americans could put their greed aside and unite to bring about a better America, then those who are manipulating this country would lose control. As long as there is an element within our country who feels they are entitled to the benefits of the "good life" without earning the privilege to have that life, there will continue to be class-warfare. The middle-class will be under the control of the manipulators.
It is essential to keep the division of the two political parties going by projecting the moral and ethical people as America's enemies. Make the moral and ethical people look stupid, shameful, and ridiculous. Misquote them, take them out of context, and portray them as crude and unreasonable people. Ignore the actions of those whom the manipulators support. Focus on those who refuse to be controlled. This past election was a perfect example of this type of control. The Vice-president could make outrageous statements time and time again without so much a raised eyebrow.
In this election process, what stood out to me was the only serious candidate who refused to be controlled and manipulated was not given a voice in the MSM process. The MSM ignored, ridiculed, and accused the President. Listening to the manipulators, they described those unwilling to be controlled as confused, racist, alienated from the real world.
So, America must be content with a lot of talk without action. We will be entertained with "investigations" that go nowhere, loss of freedom and liberty to secure our prosperity, invasion of our privacy to protect national security, and given promises that things will change. The middle-class will be held hostage to a weekly paycheck that does not allow them to get ahead with the threat of losing the home, job, and family. The poor will continue to rely on a government that has enslaved them, and the elite and wealthy will continue to live the life the manipulators have given them by legally robbing the rest of America-- and you wonder how we got here?
