Imperial Narrative Control Has Five Distinct Elements

Caitlin Johnstone

“All of our world’s worst problems are created by the powerful. The powerful will keep creating those problems until ordinary people use their superior numbers to make them stop. Ordinary people don’t use their superior numbers to stop the powerful because the powerful are continuously manipulating people’s understanding of what’s going on. 

Humans are storytelling creatures. If you can control the stories humans are telling themselves about the world, you control the humans, and you control the world. 

Mental narrative plays a hugely prominent role in human experience; if you’ve ever tried to still your mind in meditation you know exactly what I’m talking about. Babbling thought stories dominate our experience of reality. It makes sense then that if you can influence those stories, you’re effectively influencing someone’s experience of reality.”

“1. CISA considers your thoughts “Cognitive Infrastructure”
One of the most stunning things we’ve learned from this lawsuit is that the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency now considers your thoughts, and what you post online, a part of the United States Government’s “critical infrastructure” thereby giving them the authority to regulate them. I don’t think anyone asked everyday Americans if they’d want the government regulating what goes on inside their brains, but alas, here we are.

Through discovery that has been released, we have uncovered that CISA is at the forefront of censorship activities in the United States, often acting in concert with tax payer funded NGO’s to act as a sort of “censorship help desk.” They became so overwhelmed that they decided to create something known as the “disinformation governance board,” which would provide them the funding, and more importantly, the public cover to be able to continue funneling censorship demands to social media behemoths, like YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Understandably, once this “disinformation governance board” became public knowledge, it was promptly disbanded. However, the activities it was meant to cover have not.”

“2023 starts with collective NATO in Absolutely Freak Out Mode as Russian Defense Minister Shoigu announces that Russian Navy frigate Admiral Gorshkov is now on tour – complete with a set of Mr. Zircon’s hypersonic business cards.

The business tour will encompass the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean, and of course include the Mediterranean, the Roman Empire’s former Mare Nostrum. Mr. Zircon on the prowl has absolutely nothing to do with the war in Ukraine: it’s a sign of what happens next when it comes to frying much bigger fishes than a bunch of Kiev psychos.

The end of 2022 did seal the frying of the Big Ukraine Negotiation Fish. It has now been served on a hot plate – and fully digested. Moscow has made it painfully clear there’s no reason whatsoever to trust the “non-agreement capable” declining superpower.

So even taxi drivers in Dacca are now betting on when the much- vaunted “winter offensive” starts, and how far will it go. General Armageddon’s path ahead is clear: all-out demilitarization and de-electrification on steroids, complete with grinding up masses of Ukrainians at the lowest possible cost to the Russian Armed Forces

in Donbass until Kiev psychos beg for mercy. Or not.”

“During the month of December 2022, NCFIRE was able to document 15 illegal aliens who committed 41 separate acts of child rape/child sexual assault.

That brings the yearly total for 2022 to:
268 illegal aliens charged with:
954 separate acts of child rape/child sexual assault

The grand totals, since 2013 are:
2,980 illegal aliens charged with:
12,663 separate acts of child rape/child sexual assault

Numbers that are quite frankly, hard to wrap your mind around. And keep in mind, these represent only about 2/3rds of the100 NC county Sheriff’s arrest records, because the rest of them made it exceedingly difficult to obtain their daily arrest records. So our monthly and grand total numbers are most assuredly on the low side, unbelievably.”

Absurdity of Reason

“The one thing I know for an absolute fact is that until individuals recognize their power as such, there’s not much chance of survival. What’s left of the American ideal is quickly diminishing. Between people being indoctrinated to believe that capitalism is guilty of every sin in the world and that it takes a village to raise a child as Hillary Clinton proclaimed in her time-honored means of funneling cash to political figures, a book, the America that was successful, powerful and solvent is being hidden behind lies and distortions, if it hasn’t already disappeared.

The future is not bright. Gen Z or Y, or wherever that stands now, might as well be called Gen L(ast). There will be no future generations, there won’t be enough children born in a given time frame to comprise of a particular generation per se. This idea of naming generations is corrupt anyway; it’s a means of destroying unity, pitting one against the other; of accusing one or the other of the destruction of the nation; of pointing fingers at anyone but those responsible; the traitors in our own government, our schools, now even our hospitals.”

I’ve always struggled with shooting fast and accurately, which keeps me as a mediocre C-class USPSA shooter. But, I recently attended a pistol class at Vortex Edge that fixed an issue I’ve been working on for years—I, like many right-handed shooters, hit low left when I try to shoot fast.

In the first 30 minutes of the class, we did some simple drills and the instructors made two modifications to my grip. I could then shoot fast (.19 to .22 splits) and maintain A-zone (6 x 11 inches) hits at 15 yards. I then progressed to a sub-second (.97) draw with an A-zone hit, another milestone.

If you are also struggling with maintaining accuracy with your pistol while pushing for speed, here are the simple tips and drills to try.
