Just A Friendly Reminder That The Establishment Is Terrified Of Tulsi Gabbard

I’ve been mulling over the Bana Alabed psy-op in my head ever since I started doing research on it for my article the other day. I just can’t get over how blatant it is, what a massive insult to our intelligence it is for CNN to parade such a brazen, transparent lie using such a reprehensible, manipulative tactic to manufacture consent for a military intervention in Syria.

I mean, how lucky are we? What an amazing stroke of good fortune for the growing anti-deep state movement that’s emerging all across the political spectrum for CNN to repeatedly trot out a cute little Syrian girl reciting obviously scripted words in a language that she plainly does not understand condemning Bashar al-Assad and urging US intervention as though a seven year-old child could ever be some sort of authority on foreign policy! CNN’s collaboration with such an obvious work of war propaganda is the single greatest piece of evidence that the corporate media is lying to the American people about Syria in order to manufacture consent for a new regime change invasion. You really have to be a drooling, mindless idiot to not see through the way CNN’s Alisyn Camerota nods solemnly along as Bana sounds out what she was told to say syllable-by-syllable in the interview. It’s like they’re doing our work for us, telling the world “We’re helping the oligarchs lie to you about Syria,” and we’ll always have that to point at whenever Official Syria Narrative raises its vapid head. We should be doing this at every opportunity.

And they’re even dumb enough to try and use their own psy-op to try and counteract any guest they have on who opposes regime change in Syria, which makes their agenda even clearer. They did it to Congressman Thomas Massie last month, and before that Jake Tapper paraded one of the fake Bana Alabed tweets in front of the audience as preemptive damage control before bringing on Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.

I’ve been thinking about Gabbard a lot, too. There’s been a marked uptick in buzz about her online over the last few days, and what’s interesting about this is that it appears to be entirely grassroots-generated. The Hawaiian congresswoman appears in the news regularly, but there haven’t been any major stories featuring her in a couple of weeks. In response to the situation we now find ourselves in, where Trump appears to have fully capitulated to the will of the deep state on Syria, Russia, WikiLeaks and many other issues and the DNC is openly stating that it feels no obligation to provide the public with legitimate party primaries, clear-eyed rebels everywhere seem to have looked at one another and gone, “Fuck this. Let’s lift up that lady they’re all scared of.”

And make no mistake, the political establishment is terrified of Tulsi Gabbard. The same mainstream media propaganda machine which shamelessly uses a seven year-old girl to manipulate people into pushing for regime change in Syria isn’t constantly smearing Gabbard at every opportunity in the name of truth and journalistic integrity; they’re doing it because she poses a direct threat to their agenda. The increasingly-indistinguishable Republican neocons and corporate Democrats didn’t condemn her fact-finding trip to Syria because it was the wrong thing to do, they condemned it because it was the right thing to do. They condemned it because facts are poison to their plans for installing a puppet regime in a nation whose geographical location plays a pivotal role in the fossil fuel wars. They condemned it because they have all been lying to the American people about Syria, and the corporate media has been helping them.

I’ve been closely monitoring the social media responses to this sudden spike in vigorous Tulsi enthusiasm, reading people’s comments on Chris Bonanny’s recent article “Meet Tulsi Gabbard, Future President of the United States” and Marissa Rodriguez’s delightful “Spitting on Veteran Tulsi Gabbard and The Maniacal McOutrage of The Left” to find out what propaganda seeds have taken root. One of the most hilarious narratives against her that I keep seeing these sheep regurgitate was planted by smear pieces like this one by the Clinton-directed Daily Beast, dismissing her as a viable progressive because Trump supporters like her, too. I love that one because it’s such a transparent admission of fear by the establishment; whenever I see it I just say “Bitch, that’s not a reason to dislike her, that’s a reason for your corporate overlords to fear her!”

(I should interrupt myself at this point to direct readers to this Glenn Greenwald article from 2014 about how “western intelligence agencies are attempting to manipulate and control online discourse with extreme tactics of deception and reputation-destruction.” It would be naive of us to assume that all of the anti-Gabbard commentary online is coming from actual civilians expressing sincere concerns about her that they got from mainstream media. Just FYI.)

I mean, can you think of a greater threat to the establishment than someone who not only keeps consistently demonstrating personal integrity and devotion to her own sense of truth, but who is building more and more adoration among progressives, independents and Trump supporters everywhere? Their textbook divide-and-conquer tactic isn’t working, and the Syria warmongering that she so aggressively opposes is seeing more and more gaping plot holes exposed in its propaganda. I’ve been talking a lot about the need for the anti-establishment factions all across the political spectrum to collaborate against the deep state, and others are talking about it too:

And there’s already a popular elected official with support from every corner of the anti-establishment movement who is already currently working tirelessly against the deep state’s bloodthirsty agendas. That’s huge, and we should all keep singing about it.

And yes, I am of course aware that the US political process has been largely insulated from any anti-establishment insurgencies by America’s unelected perennial power structures, which would of course make placing Gabbard in the White House for example a major challenge, but that’s not the point — don’t get defeatist on me. The point is that the establishment is terrified of her. The more we lift her up, the harder the propaganda machine will have to work to push her back down. The more excitement we bring to her, the more cartoonishly ridiculous their absurd smear campaigns will have to get. They’ll be forced to overextend themselves out of the shadows they’ve been hiding in, and anyone with martial arts training knows that getting your enemy to overextend themselves is a great way to create openings for a fight-ending attack.

Like I keep saying, the battle we are waging against America’s shadow government is first and foremost a media war. Americans have far more power in their ability to use new media than they have in their ability to vote, because the entire deep state oppression machine is held together by propaganda. Tulsi Gabbard is like an endless supply of MOABs that we can drop on the enemy in this media war again and again and again, because her very existence is extremely threatening to the deep state. We can disrupt their entire psy-war by elevating this woman in online discourse at every opportunity and making it clear all across the political spectrum that we have every intention of carrying her bodily to the campaign announcement podium and demanding that she run for President in 2020.

Do it. Bring Gabbard to the forefront of online discourse and keep pushing her further and further and insisting on her more and more loudly at every opportunity. Trust me, it’ll scare them shitless.
