Has anyone else noticed that a more effective means of controlling a specific narrative is for the news to outrightly ignore it?
You notice it a lot with right-aligned protests. The Million MAGA March in late 2020 was barely covered by anyone, even though it was the direct precursor to J6. The Honkening was largely ignored (except for the Toronto residents losing their sleep, haha) UNTIL it began to threaten the local economy several days in. Then the military and mask-wearing brownshirts were called in and things were broken up within 24 hours.
I'm noticing it again with Unite The Kingdom. There's been a bit more media coverage this time thanks to Tommy and Elon's appearances (in addition to Kirk's assassination boosting things) and the march itself quite frankly being too big to sweep under the rug, but it definitely did not draw the right level of coverage it merited. The entire center of London was ground to a standstill, and yet most news outlets treated it as a tertiary headline.
Compare that to left-aligned protests with much smaller crowds, like Extinction Rebellion and the rest of the orange paint faggots (as well as BLM grifters) and they always make the front page and extended TV coverage. Hell, those dumb African retards in the Scottish highlands are getting arguably more news coverage than UTK did in their own damn country.
The problem is that unlike 2020, Elon owns Twitter, and they CAN'T turn that off.
It REALLY fucks up their narrative as MORE people are turning to Twitter for news as that Ukrainian refugee murder would've been buried had it not been for Elon blowing it up and FORCING them to cover it. Twitter also revealed the demons revelling in Kirk's assassination. The signal is getting out and their tactic of not covering it is getting weaker and weaker and ironically giving Twitter more and more legitimacy.
This is why EU is obsessed with censoring X. The Narrative only works if all information sources are locked down.
That's the criteria wikipedia uses for determining whether something gets an article. The article for the murder of that Ukranian woman was threatened with deletion because MSM were ignoring it, therefor is 'wasn't notable'.
Keep in mind the Charlotte stabbing happened in the 3rd week of August. It only became widely known about 2 weeks afterwards.
Ironically had it been reported on more at the time it may have carried less weight, instead of being juxtaposed next to Kirk's assassination which just carried momentum from an already high point to a longer lasting one.
Almost every single major anti-lockdown march, most well over 100,000 people, we're never covered or barely spoken of in every country where it took place.
I think it was also the BBC that ignored, something like 400,000 people in an anti-lockdown march. Literally didn't say anything about it.
In Australia they got shot at with less lethal rounds when they got significantly large.
Yep - those too in particular, they even had the broadcast buildings surrounded and they still refused to cover it. The only way they would have was if they breached security and stormed the stage.
The whole wikipedia style "SOURCE?!?!!?!" culture was reinforced to make these lies of omission much more powerful.
It works on both sides (Sadly).
The Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear, the Restoring Honour rally and the Reclaim the Dream commemorative march (All in the latter end of 2010) were reported on with wildly varying sizes of crowds.
Outlets which favoured one side over the other apparently inflated numbers to influence popularity. Those same outlets would supposedly massively deflate numbers for events which didn't fit their rhetoric.
This tug of war has changed now that people don't rely on mainstream news networks for their information (Which is why governments all over are clamping down on the Internet). Just like the printing press allowed cognitive dissent to stabilise unheard voices and the radio later, the Internet will find a way to have ideas and conversations about them happen without those who want to dictate what reality is to most.
Lean into it, roll with the punches and stay on target. Propaganda is a tool which existed before it was named so, pitchforks and lynchings have always existed due to hysteria, and hysteria comes from trying to make sense of an angered confusion which is what those in control wish to maintain to stop a properly informed population from taking the power away from them.
Whatever the outcome of these current events will be; this will happen again ad infinitum. It seems like it's in our nature to correct and then be corrupted again.
We do get closer to a balanced view on the universe each time though, so all is not for nothing :)
Works in reverse too. You can put laser focus on en event that never happened and make it fact.
This is not new. Lying by omission was the (((establishment's))) most powerful weapon during the era of broadcast-only media. It's also why so many multi-decade narratives have been collapsing now that social media has broken (((broadcast media's))) monopoly on the spread of information.
The annual March For Life in DC draws 300K almost every year, totally ignored most of the time. They're 100% peaceful & clean up after themselves, unlike the feminists...
Remember the Million Mom March? Anti-gun protest with huge celebrity endorsement & wall-to-wall media coverage. It was "a million" by counting every co-march across the entire country, maybe. Park Police estimated 300K in DC. They left behind mountains of rubbish :/
Some people walking around isn't news worthy even in a healthy nation. nobody even remembers them because they have no impact.
Those actually would be worth covering even in a healthy nation because those are actual acts of economic terrorism.
