I suspect the power structure, if not this, it is something like what you see in this chart, in that most elected national officials are pawns. They have bosses above them. They don’t see We the People as their clients. They see us as threats to their ideology and their job security. You can often hear them saying these things out loud (e.g., at the WEF).</p> <p>Their #1 job is to censor and propagandize us by funding and controlling legacy news so that we believe that national elections still matter. A free and open internet, where we can exchange ideas with each other, is their #1 threat. If all of this sounds bizarre or conspiratorial to you, it’s because you have limited your information diet to legacy news outlets, which have been controlled for years, through various government-funded carrots and sticks administered by so-called NGOs that are funded with your tax dollars by the likes of USAID, CEPPS and INTERNEWS.…</p>]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>https://dangerousintersection.org/2025/02/15/who-is-in-charge/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">41698</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Scales Falling from Democrat Eyes</title> <link>https://dangerousintersection.org/2024/12/21/scales-falling-from-democrat-eyes/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=scales-falling-from-democrat-eyes&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=scales-falling-from-democrat-eyes</link> <comments>https://dangerousintersection.org/2024/12/21/scales-falling-from-democrat-eyes/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Erich Vieth]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sat, 21 Dec 2024 18:31:27 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Free Speech]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Corruption]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Politics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[populism]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Propaganda]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Social Media]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Totalitarianism/Authoritarianism]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://dangerousintersection.org/?p=41383</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>The scales are rapidly falling off of the eyes of many people.

He bravely stood up to the race-hucksters over the past five years and advocated for the type of color-blindness embraced by almost all classical liberals. But on CNN he naively stepped into an area in which he is not well informed: National Security. Almost everything he says in opposition to Tulsi Gabbard is incorrect and it wouldn’t have taken much time to get informed before going live. Very disappointing, but this illustrates something ubiquitous. Everyone I know (even myself) who gets a lot right sometimes falls off the rails. The causes are many: tribalism, hubris, fatigue and failing to be self-critical. It happens to all of us, some of the time and free speech is the best approach we know to limit these missteps. So here is Glenn Greenwald speaking freely about Coleman’s embarrassing moment on CNN:</p> <p><a href="https://x.com/ggreenwald/status/1858582117665382493" target="_blank"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-41094" src="http://dangerousintersection.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot-2024-11-19-at-1.20.12 PM.png" alt="Screenshot 2024 11 19 at 1.20.12 PM" width="379" height="435" title="Coleman Hughes Misfires on Tulsi Gabbard as DNI 4" srcset="https://dangerousintersection.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot-2024-11-19-at-1.20.12 PM.png 448w, https://dangerousintersection.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot-2024-11-19-at-1.20.12 PM-261x300.png 261w" sizes="(max-width: 379px) 100vw, 379px"/></a></p> <p>Glenn Greenwald:</p> <blockquote><p>There was a panel discussion about why Tulsi Gabbard is this great evil, and the opposition to her was led by Coleman Hughes, who–I don’t really understand when he became an expert on foreign policy. He became known speaking, I think, quite insightfully, about things like race and class and the intersection of them. I’ve been on his show before. He’s been on mine.</p> <p>Suddenly, though, he’s now a great expert in the Middle East, he’s a vehement supporter of Israel–as much as Barry Weiss or Sam Harris or people like that are. And here he is on CNN, maligning Tulsi Gabbard, who knows 10 </p></blockquote>…]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>https://dangerousintersection.org/2024/11/19/coleman-hughes-misfires-on-tulsi-gabbard-as-dni/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">41093</post-id> </item> <item> <title>The Real Reason for U.S. Warmongering in Ukraine</title> <link>https://dangerousintersection.org/2024/10/25/the-real-reason-for-u-s-warmongering-in-ukraine/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-real-reason-for-u-s-warmongering-in-ukraine&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-real-reason-for-u-s-warmongering-in-ukraine</link> <comments>https://dangerousintersection.org/2024/10/25/the-real-reason-for-u-s-warmongering-in-ukraine/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Erich Vieth]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sat, 26 Oct 2024 00:04:17 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Politics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Corporatocracy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Corruption]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Election Integrity]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Political Science]]></category> <category><![CDATA[populism]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Spending priorities]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://dangerousintersection.org/?p=40824</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>This is the real reason the Biden-Harris Administration is risking the deaths of hundreds of millions of Americans in a nuclear war.

The Founders of this Country must be weeping in their graves.</p> <p>“Kamala Harris or Donald Trump—the empty pantsuit of elitism or the eternal master of disaster? We must pick one or the other on November 5.”</p> <p>Here is Gurri’s overview of the Democrats:</p> <blockquote><p>There are only two vital forces in American politics today: those who wish to control everything, and those who wish not to be controlled. The antagonists are roughly equal in number but vastly disproportionate in strength. True to its nature, one side controls virtually all the institutions that hedge the life of the voters. Also true to its nature, the other side spends most of the time fighting with itself.</p> <p>The forces of control own the White House, the Senate, the media, the universities, the mainstream churches, the federal and state bureaucracies, most corporations, most digital platforms, and the entirety of American culture. Homegrown control freaks can also rely on assistance from Control International, the cabal of like-minded elites that runs the United Nations, the European Union, and any number of nation-states from Britain to Brazil.</p> <p>Why the itch to control? Nietzsche would explain it as pure will to power, and that’s a perfectly adequate account. </p> <p>The Democratic Party is the party of control.</p></blockquote> <p>Excerpt re Harris:</p> <blockquote><p>So here is the most compelling reason I will be voting against Harris and the Democrats in November. I was born in Cuba. I recognize the stench of hypocrisy </p></blockquote>…]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>https://dangerousintersection.org/2024/10/17/why-martin-gurri-is-voting-for-trump/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">40731</post-id> </item> </channel> </rss>
