The Narrative is the Message

Marshall McLuhan told us in 1964  ‘The Medium is the message’. The medium may be important, but today we are discovering the ‘Narrative is the message’ and the medium is just a much more efficient and effective delivery system for weaponized information bombs dropped non-stop on our non-critical thinkers — which today is most of us.  The power of narrative has been used to convince people across the globe to take a demonstrably dangerous injection that simply does not work:  “He who controls the narrative controls the world”.  The power of narrative and story telling has been thoroughly examined –and proven to my satisfaction– by the late, great educator and researcher Joseph Campbell in his ‘The Power of Myth’ series.

What are some of the narratives the ‘Powers that shouldn’t be’ sell using their influence over  media, experts, captured governments and our WOKE education systems?

  • Man is destroying mother earth (Gaia) by pollution; therefore man is bad ..
  • Man is destroying mother earth (Gaia) by over population; therefore we need to reduce the population ..
  • Man is destroying the climate by carbon emissions; therefore we need to eliminate all fossil fuels and charge a carbon tax ..
  • Man is consuming all the limited resources of mother earth (Gaia); therefore, we must learn to live with less ..
  • Nations are bad because they cause wars, therefore, we must eliminate the notion of the nation-state and replace it with a global governance which can prevent war ..
  • Religions are bad because they are a major source of conflicts and wars; therefore we must replace traditional religions with a new, blended version that is more tolerant and includes mother earth (Gaia) ..
  • White man is particularly bad because his stewardship of the modern world has led to all the bad things listed above; therefore, we must reduce the white race and promote others ..
  • Traditions, social norms and cultures are bad because they stand in the way of changes required to fix these global problems; therefore, we must promote those things which will destroy the family, religion, virtue and wholesomeness ..

Of course these same narratives –and more—have been carefully crafted and then injected into our culture, education systems and media with predetermined endpoints for each; designed to nudge us in a certain direction.  With enough repetition and assurances from trusted authority figures and sophistry, the ‘fact-claims’ above become ‘well-established’ facts indelibly lodged in our collective subconscious.  They become the stories and the myths that are immune to logic;  that can not to be questioned, and thus escape any examination of the assumptions on which they were formed.

I can, and have, refuted to my satisfaction most of these narratives with logic and evidence, but few listen or take the time to understand.  Logic and evidence does not sell. Stories sell.

All these proscribed endpoints or solutions to these narratives are merely the bricks and bars of a mental jail being constructed to create a bleak dystopia for all but the very special few, and  a permanent loss of individual freedom for everyone else.  It is time we start writing our own narratives.

Below are three excellent videos directly addressing the power of these narratives and what we can do to counter this most powerful art of story telling; which, when wielded in the wrong hands will bring about George Orwell’s prediction from Nineteen Eighty-Four:

“If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever.”

The first video is from the prolific and fertile mind of  James Corbett who takes on this topic from a secular view; and the second video from the truly Amazing Polly who brings it all home in a much simpler treatment with her amazingly deep, nuanced analysis which provides all of us a happy and prosperous pathway out of this nightmare trap set by those tricksters who would be our masters.  The third video provides fascinating insights into the psychological mechanics of ‘Mass Formation’.   Enjoy.
