Escape From the Twilight Zone Before Its Too Late
Sleep Walking into Tyranny
CIA Director William Casey once said when everything people believe to be true is a lie their mission will be completed. I hate to tell you but its pretty close to “Mission Accomplished”.
When I follow debates on the issues between two sides, if you can call them debates, people are arguing over two opposing untruths or untruths.
A good example is the discussion of the origins of Sars-Cov-2. We are allowed to consider if it is either Natural Origin (untruth) or Chinese Made Accidental Release in Wuhan. Few dare to consider the real truth, it likely was US made and deliberately released in Wuhan. The latter is an Inconvenient Truth
There are many more Inconvenient Truths, such as 9/11, the real players behind Operation COVID, 10/7, the enabling of the Holocaust, Pearl Harbor, etc.
Without understanding these Truths people live in Twilight Zone where nothing makes sense because reality has been filtered through the lens of untruths, and what we see is a distorted reality where up is down, white is black , 2+2=5, War is Peace and Genocide is only Genocide if you don’t like the state doing the Genocide.
Wise words from Patrick Woods paywall
“As reality slips away, you see can the simulacrum forming and sucking millions of people into the vortex. The progress of a simulacrum is that it starts with a reflection of a profound reality, then masks it, and then unties it from reality entirely. Thus, a simulacrum is anti-realty. When people enter into this “Twilight Zone” state, you can lie to them with impunity and they won’t know the difference.”
I call this Twilight Zone State the Sorcerers Circle. Others call it a Hyper Reality (Fake Reality). James Lindsay calls it a Negation of the Real. I write about it here

Interesting article here that touches on how they are using this to march us toward tyranny that most will accept
Some excerpts
The world is heading quite rapidly toward tyranny. Few people understand the gravity of our situation.These psychological shortcomings explain why we are sleepwalking into tyranny.
The Normalcy Bias “is a cognitive bias that occurs in times of crisis, leading us to disregard any signs or warnings that we are in danger. … Normalcy bias is a defense mechanism that lulls us into thinking life will just continue as it always has.”
The pattern of history is that humans make some progress, and then evil men do evil things and stupid men do stupid things, and the civilization crumbles. The normalcy bias can stop people from seeing this.
There are also evil people [successful psychopaths] who have decided that their role is to manage your life. They are self-appointed shepherds, and they see you as their sheep. This is the essence of tyranny.
Masses of people can also be detached from reality by the Conformity Bias, which also goes by several other names.
People with this cognitive defect look to their social group to tell them what is true. There is no independent critical thinking. This is the lazy person’s way of acquiring his view of reality.
If a political faction can be lied to with impunity, and if blind acceptance of the lies is required to maintain membership in the group, that is a powerful means of control.
Solzhenitsyn said, “The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the world.”
The third unfortunate human trait that favors tyrants was explained by Aldous Huxley.
Huxley said, “There will be [a] dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution.”
He said, “By means of ever more effective methods of mind-manipulation, the democracies will change their nature; the quaint old forms … will remain. The underlying substance will be a new kind of non-violent totalitarianism. …
[T]he ruling oligarchy and its highly trained elite of soldiers, policemen, thought-manufacturers and mind-manipulators will quietly run the show as they see fit.”
Huxley imagined “a prison without walls in which the prisoners would not even dream of escaping. It would essentially be a system of slavery where, through consumption and entertainment, the slaves would love their servitude.”
He believed that “[t]he greater part of the population is not very intelligent, dreads responsibility, and … is perfectly happy to let itself be ruled.”
Huxley correctly predicted, “a vast mass communications industry, concerned in the main neither with the true nor the false, but with the unreal, the more or less totally irrelevant. [The media will cater to] man’s almost infinite appetite for distraction.”
He knew that both poor education and perpetual crisis would enable tyranny, writing, “Children are nowhere taught, in any systematic way, to distinguish true from false, or meaningful from meaningless, statements.”
And “[l]iberty, as we all know, cannot flourish in a country that is permanently on a war footing, or even a near war footing. Permanent crisis justifies permanent control of everybody and everything by the agencies of central government.”
So I will add a few of my own thoughts. My sense is most people only question what they don’t wish to be true. They follow those who are popular and tell them what they like to believe. They don’t question those who tell them what they like to hear, even on matters they never previously had given much thought. They don’t want Truth unless its something they want to believe, and they wont listen to anyone who is not popular. As the Truth is unpopular, they essentially block their ears to the Truth
This is true of many on the Left and Right and even Centrists. Not everyone of course, but a majority.
This is a big reason why Western Civilization is Circling the Drain. The Elites are tearing down the US and Europe and preparing for a Multipolar New World Order. It will be no different than the Current Order. The same Elites will still run the show, but they will impose Austerity Measures on the Western Peasants (bottom 90%), End Freedom and Democracy, loot our resources and wealth and no doubt impose reparations on us for the many Crimes committed by our Governments in our name.
Both Political Parties are just Puppets of these Elites who almost unanimously back Israel, as we can see from the latest vote equating Anti-Zionism with Anti-Semitism. This is just completely devoid of Reality. Indeed it is Anti-Reality or Hyper-Reality (Fake Reality). It is indeed, a Sorcerers Circle
Soon Americans will experience what it is to be Palestinian, unless by some miracle people wake up. Nobody you can vote for will save you. That hope is another Sorcerers Circle.
Downfall of the West is nothing short of a Greek Tragedy.
"US made and deliberately released in Wuhan is a partial truth". It was US made and deployed all over the world (by US actors and contractors), and likely pre-deployed in 2019 on US Navy ships.
