THE FALSE FACE OF THE WEST

Where to start? Almost everything in the West is now false.

Reality is a subject to be avoided, something its elites don’t want to confront or have discussed.

Where did the rot start?

It could be said it was with Reagan and Thatcher. All those restrictions and enticements in the name of freedom.

Unions unable to support fellow workers in other unions. The creation of the greed-driven fakery of deceiving PR. The marketing of  myriad seductions to get people to buy into the image-is-everything pseudo-celebrity culture of shallow glitter and empty-headed banality. The degeneration of thought and literacy into a materialistic hell of headline surfers and propaganda-fed virtual drones.

People who had been simply being real and hoping to do well were told they had to sell themselves, any fakery would do, any facade that might convince others that you would be an obedient and productive work slave.

It can be argued it goes a lot further back however, to the end of the Second World War when there was a rise of interest in socialism and communism due to the memory of the Thirties Depression being still strong while Europe had been devastated with so much suffering caused by the Nazi extremists of the right.

This rise in support of socialism and communism was remorselessly, calculatedly crushed, especially in the USA where union workers were actively attacked and Joe McCarthy headed the same kind of fear campaign against the communist idealists as we see now against Russia.

People had to hide their allegiances and put on a false face to the world, betray their friends or shut up and cease being free to organize and socialize. The grip of that fear still haunts much of America to this day, though the young there have begun to wake up to the fact that they have been denied the whole truth concerning economic systems and the benefits of socialism.

So, from the end World War II to Reagan and Thatcher to the 9/11 strictures that were enforced that saw the rise of mass surveillance, obedience to the “You are with us or against” warning of Bush to the compliant stenography of mass media to the embedding of journalists with western military forces and the end of investigative journalism to the hate and slander campaigns against whistleblowers extended essentially to everyone who does not toe the required line. A de facto totalitarian state was created in the USA with a harmonizing drift to the right in all other western states.

In Britain a fake socialist party took power with Anthony Blair as its leader. Pretending to be left of center it graduated over time from the middle to the right, cosying up to the banks and big business, refusing to overturn Thatcher’s hugely divisive policies toward Britain’s unions and essentially installing itself as the prettier face of Thatcher’s cabinet of ogres. Blair, along with Bush in the U.S. brought blatant lying and bare-faced propaganda to the fore like never before. The scandal of the second Iraq was the result.  But in line with the fakery that went before a fake answer was always on hand for Blair to justify it all. In recent times by a political miracle a true socialist became leader of Britain’s Labour Party. Fake stories and outright lying smears from the Blairites remaining within that party along with the right-wing media soon ousted the threat to the power they consider themselves entitled to.

The fakery and falseness in the West has risen exponentially in recent years. Everything George Orwell predicted in terms of allegiance to certain narratives, to mass surveillance and the dangers of doublethink, propaganda, the altering or eliminating of contrary facts, all the carefully designed mind-manipulating narratives, all the demonizing of the foreign “enemy”, it now permeates western societies from top to bottom.

The result of all this are populations permeated by false narratives, endlessly propagandized and fed one-sided and thoroughly skewed views. The endless repetition of the demonizing scripts necessary to obtain the consent for regime change has produced millions with no minds of their own. Minds infested with thoughts they were implanted with through repetition and the growing propensity to headline surfe rather than take on the difficulty of in-depth research or the location of hard to find sources that provided the other side of the story absent from the mainstream.

There is so little that rings true in the western world now. All is business plan, PR and image manipulation. Smiling lobbyists arranging governmental policies to suit those they prostitute for, never for the good of the majority.

The so-called democracy of the West is simply another false face hung on a travesty. Predominantly two main parties share a four-year alternating dictatorship under which the political elites do the bidding of the country’s business elites. They go to war with disdain for the fact that their populations are sick of their endless wars. They create new ones, economic or military and continue to generate fake news to support them.

The elites of the West are now hitting a peak of fakery as they point at China and Russia as the cause of almost all their problems. Due to their overwhelming desire to maintain their global patrician control and right to act as judge, jury and executioner they do all in their power to undermine these nations pretending all the while the need is due to 'national security’ or some such drivel designed to keep the brainwashing of their populations in place.

In place freedom you have control. In place of free speech you have condemnation if it doesn’t correspond to state narratives. In place of your free will you have a duty to believe what you’re told.

This is the face of the West now with its mask hiding what’s really underneath. The face of a monster pretending to be a saint. The face of everything artificial and deceiving that can be conjured up to keep everyone in line and totally ignorant of realities they cannot abide.

This is the West’s face. The smiling skull. The utterly false face of the West.
