I have been meaning to write an article called something like “News vs Noise”, wherein we examine the so-called news of the day in a larger historical context in an effort to ascertain, on average, how much of what is presented as “news” is actually just the usual drivel common to any period in history, and how much is actually new.

This isn’t that article. That is still a work in progress. But this might be a good place to start as sort of a “warm up” exercise.

The religiously pro-Trump, pro-Israeli webzine American Thinker published an article this weekend penned by J.B. Shurk titled “Nobody Knows What’s Real.” In an age when men can be women, being polite is perceived as a micro-aggression, and the news media can report with a straight face that Joe Biden is at the top of his game while wiping the drool from his lapels, I thought the article might offer some insight into the larger epistemological malaise infecting our civilization. I was not disappointed. In fact, I was thrilled to discover that the topic used to explore the problem was the ubiquitous UAP.

Wait! Before you run for your tin-foil hat, I’m going somewhere with this, and it’s not into outer space. If you are interested in the topic at face value, in the distant past, that is to say, two years ago on July 25, 2023, I wrote about UAPs and the impact full-disclosure would have on the National Socialist Worldview.

For our purposes today, and Shurk’s article, it doesn’t actually matter what UAPs are: space aliens, covert tech, or hallucinogenic flash-backs, etc. What matters is our concept of “truth”, and how people no longer believe what their government tells them, largely a result of officially sponsored misinformation. The UAP distraction is simply another example of that and has also contributed to the current lack of trust.

What struck me about the Shurk article was how closely it mirrored a letter I wrote to Sen. Chuck Schumer in 2023 when he introduced the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act as an amendment to the Defense Authorization Bill. The gist of that letter was the same as Shurk’s article: to wit, you can only “cry wolf” so many times before no one believes you. Which, in and of itself is bad, but even worse when an actual wolf comes along. At some point, the government is going to really want us to believe them. And thanks to their perpetual lying, that’s not likely to happen.

Interestingly, this tied in with another article I stumbled across published the week prior, discussing how the UAP topic is likely being used as a distraction from other topics more mundane yet potentially more dangerous or embarrassing to the existing power structure. Media manipulation experts say timing is everything. While the Epstein story threatens to expose powerful political, corporate, and scientific figures, UFO disclosure gives the public something else to debate. It’s dramatic, mysterious, and far less personally damaging to the elite. By flooding news feeds with alien intrigue, media attention can be split, public outrage diluted, and damaging details buried.

It’s an old tactic, and the UAP story has served its purpose well, coming to the fore in 2017 with the release of the infamous “Tic Tac UFO” video at the same time the Mueller investigation was going on. UAP and politically charged stories have been competing for public attention ever since.

To give you an idea of how important the UAP stories actually are, no less a mental midget than Jasmine Crockett is now listed as the ranking member of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets- the group chaired by Anna Paulina Luna charged with learning the truth behind UAPs and public disclosure. A bit like having Bozo the Clown weigh in on a neurological evaluation.

However, let’s focus on Shurk’s article. As I’ve said before regarding quoting articles at length: when it’s said right the first time, why try to say it differently? So, well begin with that, then we’ll consider the issue from the perspective of National Socialism.

Nobody Knows What’s Real
By J.B. Shurk

There’s no better example of how little faith Americans have that government officials will tell the truth than the public’s blasé reaction to UFO announcements. In the last ten years, The New York Times has run stories about secret Pentagon programs tasked with retrieving alien craft. Members of Congress have held hearings on “mysterious orbs” and invited government witnesses to testify about black budget projects supposedly reverse-engineering alien technology. Secretary of State Rubio and director of National Intelligence Gabbard have both suggested that the UFO issue is serious. Yet eight billion people around the world collectively shrug.

Can you imagine what the public reaction would have been like had national newspapers and prominent officials released similar details in the 1950s? With the 1947 Roswell Incident still fresh in Americans’ minds, government confirmation of UFOs would have been the most important story in the world. Every article written and television report broadcast would have been framed around the alien/UFO phenomenon.

For eighty years, UFO-hunters have been fighting for government declassifications and official disclosure of alien contact. Now that videos of strange sightings have been released and congressional hearings have been convened to investigate the matter, Americans don’t seem to care. Representatives Tim Burchett and Anna Paulina Luna have said explicitly that extraterrestrial visitors are real, and their statements disappear in a blizzard of news stories discussing the “Aryan micro-aggressions” of Sydney Sweeney’s jeans.

Nobody believes what government officials say. Nobody believes what journalists say. In our world today, fantastic stories come and go, and nobody knows if they’re real.

CIA director William Casey reportedly told other principals gathered in the Roosevelt Room of the White House in early 1981, “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.” Whether Casey was being frighteningly blunt or darkly humorous, I don’t know. Yet we certainly know that the CIA and FBI have been running mass propaganda programs on the American people for as long as either agency has existed.

What military schools now teach as examples of “hybrid” or “information warfare” has long been part of the U.S. government’s arsenal of psychological weapons used against American citizens. I wish this fact were more shocking to people. Information warfare is just as effective and deadly as conventional warfare.

As bad as Allied losses were at Normandy, they would have been much worse had Eisenhower and Patton not tricked Hitler into concentrating his forces away from the locus of the invasion. All of the so-called “color revolutions” of the last fifteen years in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East relied heavily upon anonymous (and likely espionage agency–created) social media accounts to inflame tensions, sow chaos, and encourage rioting. The Russia Collusion Hoax and the unbridled COVID hysteria (during which governments rushed to close schools and businesses and censor online speech before basic facts could even be established) are textbook examples of information warfare that upended entire societies without ever firing a shot.

When we acknowledge that government institutions have knowingly and willfully targeted the American people with disinformation campaigns meant to achieve strategic objectives, we are acknowledging that these institutions have made war against us exactly as military planners would wage war against foreign enemies. That is a sobering, terrifying, and unforgivable betrayal of the U.S. Constitution.

Surely the federal government’s information war against the American people is just as newsworthy as the possibility of extraterrestrial or intra-dimensional visitors. Noticeably, however, there are even fewer stories written about the government’s mass psychological operations against citizens than there are stories written about UFOs. That’s pretty revealing. The New York Times would rather hype speculation about little green men than document how federal agencies regularly lie to and manipulate the American people.

Why do you think that is? It is because The Times and other prominent news publications are well aware that they have been willing weapons in this decades-long information war against citizens. The government can’t psychologically manipulate the masses without controlling mass communication. Likewise, instruments of mass communication can’t effectively disseminate disinformation if the people who are meant to be manipulated recognize those instruments as weapons for spreading colossal lies.

When President Trump first began excoriating reporters for publishing “fake news,” the Dan Rathers and Jim Acostas of the propaganda press huffed and puffed, claiming that Trump’s exercise of his First Amendment right to free speech somehow jeopardized Americans’ First Amendment right to a free press. Coming from the mouths of known liars, the journalistic Establishment’s choreographed umbrage was hilarious. The prodigious manufacturers of fake news had long advertised their offal-laden sausages as fine cuts of meat. And Trump had no problem telling the American people that the most famous names in news sold eyeball- and intestine-filled slop.

But it was not Trump’s insults that the corporate news media really feared. After all, lame-duck President Obama had used the “fake news” pejorative repeatedly before leaving office in an effort to blame Hillary’s election loss on random social media accounts supposedly spreading “Russian disinformation.” (Appallingly, Obama was pushing Russia Collusion Hoax disinformation while blaming disinformation for Trump’s victory.) Even the propaganda press picked up Obama’s baton and published numerous stories in late 2016 claiming that an epidemic of “fake news” got Trump elected.

So the purveyors of fake news had no problem disparaging other news publications as “fake.” They only started worrying when they belatedly realized that Trump’s belittling of their profession had shattered their decades-long spell over the minds of the American people. Frauds such as Dan Rather and Jim Acosta called Trump a liar. Trump called them liars. And the American people believed Trump more than the pudgy blood sausages of fake news.

Trust in government institutions and newsrooms has been falling for decades. The Russia Collusion Hoax, the COVID Reign of Terror, and the outrageous lawfare campaigns against conservative politicians and voters have now destroyed public trust in Establishment institutions for the foreseeable future.

Where do we go from here? When authorities no longer have the trust of the people, they survive only by making amends for past transgressions or adopting even more overt forms of coercion. In the former case, government transparency, the impartial application of the law, and respect for public dissent help to renew the social contract between citizens and their government. In the latter case, appeals to expertise, discriminatory criminal enforcement, and rank censorship become hammers beating citizens into submission.

The United Kingdom has chosen coercion. Law enforcement agencies in the U.K. spend more resources policing public debate on social media platforms than they do curbing illegal immigration or protecting children from rape gangs. Citizens who express unapproved thoughts that contradict official government policies put themselves in legal jeopardy. U.K. health authorities continue to defend their COVID totalitarianism as a reasonable emergency response backed by “scientific” expertise. In the U.K., protections for free speech, dissent, and freedom of conscience are dead.

The Brits will surely reap what they now sow. They will discover how many citizens are willing to “trust the experts” when “net zero” energy rationing puts lives and livelihoods in danger. They will learn how many capable warriors are willing to fight and die in future wars for a country that treats illegal aliens better than patriotic citizens. They will rediscover that the criminalization of public debate leaves silenced citizens no alternative to rebellion.

In the United States, we have a small window to avoid Britain’s fate. While President Trump is keeping the corporate news media’s propagandists and Silicon Valley’s censors at bay, Americans have one final chance to defend free speech from the contemptible Deep State. If we fail, everything will soon resemble a UFO. Nobody will know what’s fake or real…or even care.

[End of Article]

I think you can see why, from a National Socialist point of view, this is a valuable article. First, I like how the author ties in the problems facing the U.K. and how we might suffer the same fate if we’re not careful. Second, it calls out the relationship between the Oligarchy, their media lap poodles, and how the rest of us are mushroomed (kept in the dark and fed bullshit). It also essentially said the same thing I wrote to Chuckie Schumer in 2023, and I love getting there first.

Now, you might be saying, “Great, Johann, but what does this have to do with National Socialism?” To which I would reply, “If our government is willing to trot out space aliens to distract the American public from the Epstein files and the billions being spent on foreign wars, can you imagine what they will do when we begin making inroads into the American political landscape?” Time to strap in.

But there is a deeper, and for our purposes, positive consequence of yet another obvious government misinformation and distraction campaign. The author of the above article does an admirable job of exploring how the American people have been subjected to disinformation programs over the years, the latest being how the subject of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena is being handled and how the constant and unremitting misinformation from our government and its media lap poodles has so eroded trust that we, The People, no longer believe anything the government tells us.

And that works in our favor.

It’s not news to any National Socialist and, certainly not to members of the American Nazi Party, that the government lies and the media covers for them. We’ve been fighting the slow drip of misinformation about us since before World War II, with no end in sight. Public opinion regarding National Socialism has been shaped by our government’s propaganda and the narrative about us by a lying media and their Hollywood cronies, often with an overtly Zionist purpose.

Now, as trust in these institutions shrinks to the vanishing point, we have an opportunity to get our message in front of people at a time when they may be willing to hear it. It’s a simple equation: If you generally don’t believe what the government and the media are telling you, and the government and the media say National Socialism is bad and not worthy of honest consideration, is it not possible they are wrong about National Socialism too? The same politico-media system that brought you such exceptional examples of humanity as Trump and Biden, Bush and Obama, to say nothing of Kamala Harris, is also telling you race is irrelevant and Whites are the problem. Do you really believe them? Do you trust them to act in your best interest? What won’t they lie about to maintain their stranglehold on American minds? History suggests the only line they are unwilling to cross is the one that undermines their own power.

And so begins the conversation.

One final thought circling back to our little green friends. Perhaps we, The People, should really start giving some consideration to who is in the White House if aliens turn out to be real and demand to be taken to our leader. Has there been anyone in living memory you would be comfortable introducing them to? Yeah, me either.

Amerika Erwache!
