Someone Has to Say It: The Hidden History of How America Was Lost

Someone Has to Say It: The Hidden History of How America Was Lost
Tom Kawczynski

Do you ever wonder what happened to America? Do you wonder how we went from a stable, prosperous land in the 1950s — a land whose cities were the jewels of the world with neighborhoods where no one locked their doors and an education system that was second-to-none — to a country where it isn’t safe to walk the streets at night, and where huge numbers of people graduate high school unable to read, but fully convinced that White heterosexual men (particularly those of the working class) are StupidEvilRacistSexistNazisWhoWannaKillSixMillionJews? Do you wonder where strident feminism came from? How about the “trans-gender” agenda? Do you wonder who’s behind the rise of militant black racism or open borders? Or why radical red guard-style communists, masquerading as “anti-fascists”, are free to roam our streets attacking any White person, they deem “racist”, or “sexist”, or “homophobic”, etc., with relative impunity? In short, have you wondered how we lost America?

In January of this year, Tom Kawczynski found himself at the epicenter of a manufactured national media firestorm designed to force him out of his position as the town manager of Jackman, a small community in rural northern Maine, for daring to ask these questions. Jackman’s loss was America’s gain. His forced resignation gave him the time to answer these questions and more.

In Someone Has to Say It: The Hidden History of How America Was Lost, Kawczynski weaves a tangle of apparently disparate threads into a sweeping historical account of the consolidation of globalist power that defines the history of the last century in the West; it tells the story of how we’ve become who we are. His slim (238-page), compelling “popular history” offers an expansive vision enhanced by his fluid style and sustained with remarkable clarity. It contains many insights, and touches upon every major issue of our time — from economics to the politics of identity, from the failure of our school system to the shadowy power of the “Deep State.” “This book is about the destruction of beliefs we once held”, Kawczynski writes, “and ideas that were important to us.” The following is a short list of just some of the topics about which our beliefs and ideas have been destroyed:

• race
• the battle of the sexes
• the queer agenda
• immigration
• communism
• socialism
• World War II
• hyper-taxation combined with federal mandates to local communities
• the military-industrial complex
• the security/police state
• the controlled media
• the myth of perpetual growth
• invade the world/invite the world
• the drug epidemic
• the Kennedy assassination
• respectable conservatives
• technology
• and much, much more

Writing from the perspective of a historian with a deep reserve of contextual understanding, Kawczynski begins with the story of how he was forced to resign, and uses that as a launching-pad for the bigger story of how America got to be the way it is. His prologue also provides the reader with some background on Kawczynski and exposes his fundamental views — including his biases. For instance:

My parents taught me to be honest, and to the very best of my ability, and not without a degree of fear for consequences that will accrue, I’ve written this understanding. My hope is that it will serve as a beacon for others in their own search and help those out there to understand both my own efforts and those of many others who are branded as evil and wicked by the lying media.

While acknowledging that “History is messy because there are many contradictory actors and agendas all at work” and stating that he’s “not going to try to offer . . . a narrative that removes that ambiguity,” Kawczynski argues against the “accidental” view of history that most of us accept (because it is presented as fact by establishment historians and promulgated by the mass media) and presents a strong case for what he calls the “conspiratorial” view.

The accidental view would have us believe that the history of the last hundred years is “a series of coincidences in the search for greater liberty, the proverbial freedom from previous strictures and the happenstance outcome of individual battles pushing the nation in the direction of greater liberalization” and that people don’t organize into groups to gain power and then lie about why they are organizing. Kawczynski suggests that what has happened to America “is no accident, but rather the result of a series of actions spanning the last hundred plus years that saw the deliberate deconstruction of every source of authority and tradition in American life.” However, many are beginning to “see what was done as the concentrated effort of a few actors — whether they be individual or within certain groups — trying to reshape society to amass greater power or advantage for their cause.”

He then goes on to demonstrate the comprehensiveness of Jewish involvement in everything antithetical to the interests of White America and suggests “we should ask why we keep finding them far more than any natural distribution whenever efforts are made to undo our society.” He recounts this Jewish involvement in dozens of issues, great and small, recognizing, for instance, that the Rosenbergs (who sold atomic secrets to the Soviets) were Jews. He notes that “It would have been interesting to hear Oswald’s defense, but he was murdered just two days later by Jack Ruby, a man born Jacob Rubenstein in Chicago and who ran a night club in Texas”; and he comments on “how heavily involved [Jews] were with the creation of the Soviet Union,” not to mention international communism, in general.

He goes far beyond merely blaming Jews, however, and makes the case that the beliefs and actions of Whites are a big part of the problem by presenting a panoply of players — from feminist activists to corporatist stooges — and showing how, under the influence of Jewish hegemony, their collaboration enables the destruction of Western nations.
When discussing Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s blockade on Japan’s fuel supply which forced Japan’s hand in attacking Pearl Harbor, he informs us that,

it’s interesting the most valuable assets of the American fleet, the aircraft carriers were all safely away from Oahu. For all the code breaking prowess of the United States, and their own war planning conducted by General Mitchell, they had thought Japan might one day try a first strike attack, but security was strangely lax. Rumors persist to this day the British knew the attack was coming, but the prize of seeing the sleeping giant that was American mobilization brought into the war [was motivation enough].

He examines the creeping power of the state and illustrates how each leftist movement (multiculturalism, corporatism, Marxism, feminism, queerism, etc.) helps to advance it by convincing Whites, particularly heterosexual White men of the working/middle class, to be ever more “atomized” individuals, while simultaneously weaponizing everyone else by not only allowing, but encouraging, them to join with their respective identity collective to act as agents for “change”. 
These change agents, in turn, act to destroy White nations in an effort to bring about global governance which he calls “globalism 2.0.” The logic behind this is to “force everyone together into one group by whatever means necessary, and watch the differences resolve themselves.”

A major platform of this new globalism is the destruction of local communities, both via demographic change and through economic ruin — a phenomenon Kawcyznski is intimately acquainted with because of his role as town manager. 

According to Kawczynski, the federal government destroys “the ability of the local community to sustain itself. Sucking all the oxygen out of the room with the massive taxes they collect at the federal level and the administrative mandates which every town, city, and state struggles to comply with.
” Hyper-taxation at the federal level steals funds from local governments which the feds then give back, but with restrictions. These restrictions come in the form of mandates which allow the federal government to circumvent Constitutional limitations on federal power. 
For instance, the Constitution makes it clear that education is a local concern and the federal government has no say. But by taking our taxes away from us and then giving them back, they can demand that local communities comply with federal rules on education.

In his chapter on “The War of the Sexes”, Kawczynski briefly touches upon many of the profound problems of feminism, including the negative economic impact of feminism, which is only rarely discussed. He points out that “where the old system had one person, almost always the man working to make enough money to sustain his wife and family, this new system would have two parents working, each making less as the labor supply swelled with wages dropping accordingly.” Flooding the labor-pool with women reduced wages, making it difficult for most men to earn enough money to support a family, this, combined with racial-flooding, has led to a situation in which — after accounting for inflation — the average man in America now makes less than 60% of what he made in 1971.

Someone Has to Say It captures the dual nature of the essential struggle of White Nationalism: to raise awareness of Jewish power and influence, while simultaneously aiding Whites in recovering a healthy identity which enables them to resist that power and influence. This, in turn, will enable us to reclaim the heritage that rightly belongs to us. Kawczynski is right when he says, “what was done to our country was the work of generations of effort and there will be no quick or easy fix. It will take much pain, effort, and exertion to rediscover what was lost and to build new solutions to our current problems.”

It’s certain true that the fix will not be quick or easy, but it is remarkably simple: just eliminate incentives and subsidies for anti-White groups and re-enable White men to express themselves in a manner that is healthy and natural. In practice this means eliminating all of the various forms of welfare for anti-Whites, including “Affirmative Action,” and allowing White men to think, speak, and behave in ways that are natural for them.

Although long-time readers of The Occidental Observer and other veterans of our struggle will already be familiar with much of the material in the book, there are several informative chapters on topics generally considered side-issues that are nevertheless important to our movement. 
This reviewer particularly liked Chapter 21 on the Internet, Chapter 23 on climate change, and Chapter 24 on junk food. Further, because of it’s gentle approach to the Jewish Question, it is an excellent introduction for people less informed;  Kawczynski’s approach is unique in that it is suitable as a primer for newbies from both ends of the political spectrum. 
It explains effectively to those concerned with gun rights and the Muslim Invasion why these things are happening while at the same time demonstrating to “progressives” why they are part of the elitist globalization problem — not the solution. Someone Has to Say It makes an excellent gift for friends and family members who could benefit from a gentle introduction to our concerns, as well as a great donation for a local library.

The Fake News Media of Sweden

• In most democratic countries, media should be critical of those who hold power. In Sweden, however, the media criticize those who criticize authorities. Criticism is not aimed at the people who hold power, but against private citizens who, according to the journalists, have the "wrong" ideas.
• TV4 and all other media refused to report that it was Muslims who interrupted the prime minister because they wanted to force Islamic values on Swedish workplaces. When the Swedish media reported about the event, the public were not told that these "hijab activists" had links with Islamist organizations. Rather, it was reported as if they were completely unknown Muslim girls who only wanted to wear their veil.
• The Swedish media are politicized to the extent that they act as a propaganda machine. Through their lies, the Swedish media have created possibilities for "post-truth-politics" in Sweden. Instead of being a neutral party, the mainstream Swedish media have lied to uphold certain "politically correct" values. One wonders what lifestyle and political stability Sweden will have when no one can know the truth about what is really going on.

In February 2017, after U.S. President Donald Trump's statements about events in Sweden, the journalist Tim Pool travelled to Sweden to report on their accuracy. What Tim Pool concluded is now available for everyone to watch on YouTube, but what is really interesting is how the Swedish public broadcasting media described him.

On Radio Sweden's website, one of the station's employees, Ann Törnkvist, wrote an op-ed in which Pool and the style of journalism he represents are described as "a threat to democracy".

Why is Pool "a threat to democracy" in Sweden?
He reported negatively about an urban area in Stockholm, Rinkeby, where more than 90% of the population has a foreign background. When Pool visited Rinkeby, he had to be escorted out by police. Journalists are often threatened in Rinkeby.

Before this incident, in an interview with Radio Sweden, Pool had described Rosengård, an area in the Swedish city of Malmö heavily populated by immigrants, as "nice, beautiful, safe". After Pool's negative but accurate report about Rinkeby, however, he began to be described as an unserious journalist by many in the Swedish media, and finally was labeled the "threat to democracy."

One might think that this was a one-time event in a country whose journalists were defensive. But the fact is that Swedish journalists are deeply politicized.
In most democratic countries, media are, or should be, critical of those who hold power. In Sweden, the media criticize those who criticizes those who hold power.

In March 2017, the public broadcasting company Sveriges Television revealed the name of a person who runs the Facebook page Rädda vården ("Save Healthcare"). The person turned out to be an assistant nurse, and was posting anonymously only because he had been critical of the hospital where he worked. Swedish hospitals are run by the local county councils, and thus when someone criticizes the healthcare system in Sweden, it is primarily politicians who are criticized. Sveriges Television explained on its website why it revealed the identity of the private individuals behind Facebook:

"These hidden powers of influence abandon and break the open public debate and free conversation. Who are they? What do they want and why? As their impact increases, the need to examine them also grows."

It is strange that Sveriges Television believes that an assistant nurse who wants to tell how politicians neglect public hospitals, is breaking "the open public debate and free conversation". This was not the only time that the mainstream Swedish media exposed private citizens who were criticizing those who hold power.

In December 2013, one of Sweden's largest and most established newspapers, Expressen, announced that it intended to disclose the names of people who commented on various Swedish blogs:

"Expressen has partnered with Researchgruppen. The group has found a way, according to their own description, without any kind of unlawful intrusion, to associate the usernames that the anonymous commentators on the hate websites are using to the email addresses from which comments were sent. After that, the email addresses have been cross-checked with registries and authorities to identify the persons behind them."

The term "hate websites" (hatsajterna) is what that the mainstream media uses to describe some of the blogs that are critical of Islam or migration.

It is one thing to be critical of bloggers who you may consider have racist opinions. But exposing the people who have written in comments sections of various blogs in one of Sweden's biggest newspapers is strange and terrifying.

Researchgruppen has clear links to Antifascistisk Aktion (Antifascist Action), a group which, according to the Swedish government, consists of violent left-wing extremists. For their efforts to expose private individuals in the comments section, Researchgruppen received the Guldspaden, a prestigious journalistic award in Sweden.

Jim Olsson was one individual exposed in Expressen simply because he wrote something in a blog's comments section. A 67-year-old docent in physical chemistry, Olsson received a home-visit from Expressen with a camera and microphone present. A private citizen with no connection to any political party or organization, he exposed by Sweden's media because he had written the following in the comments section:

"The Swedish asylum system rewards swindlers with a permanent residence permit. There are, of course, swindlers flooding Sweden."

The Swedish newspaper Expressen accessed databases of website commenters, targeted critics of immigration, and confronted them at home. The above screenshot is taken from a video on the Expressen website, published under the headline "Jim Olsson writes on hate sites."

Another private individual, Patrik Gillsvik, with no political links, was exposed and fired from his job because, in a blog's comments section, he wrote:

"I would like to join the structural prejudices of the majority in society and state that gypsies are inventive and witty entrepreneurs who can enrich our culture -- yes, and then they steal like ravens, of course!"

Although the statement can be criticized for being unacceptably racist, what is unique is that the mainstream media in a Western democracy can expose private individuals because they wrote something in a blog's comments section. Criticism is not aimed at the people who hold power, but against private citizens who according to the journalists have the "wrong" ideas.

Moreover, each of these private citizens, who have had their lives ruined because they wrote something distasteful in a comments section, serves as a warning, so that others will not dare to make the mistake of posting something politically incorrect on a blog.

It is shocking that in a democracy, the media acts this way, but that is how Swedish -- and, increasingly, other Western media -- operate these days.

In addition to punishing private individuals who, according to the them, communicate "wrong" ideas, the media celebrate and support people who have the "right" ideas.
On May 1, 2017, Sweden's Prime Minister Stefan Löfven was interrupted by a number of hijab-wearing activists who were protesting a verdict of the Court of Justice of the European Union that employers are entitled to prohibit staff from wearing a hijab. Given that Sweden's prime minister cannot directly influence the Court, and that one should not interrupt the country's prime minister when he speaks, one would think that these "hijab activists" might be criticized in the media.
TV4, a national TV-channel and one of the first media outlets to report this incident, refused to say that those who interrupted the prime minister were wearing the Islamic veil. The title of TV4's clip was "Demonstrators Interrupted Löfven speech". The sub-headline read as follows: "Female protesters screamed out their anger against the prime minister and wondered where the feminist government was."

From the text, it is not clear that these activists demonstrated against the verdict of the Court of Justice of the European Union; that all activists wore a hijab, or that they screamed, "Stand up for Muslim women's rights!" However, information that these activists were wearing hijabs and protesting the verdict of the Court of Justice of the European Union was on their Facebook page and YouTube. Nevertheless, TV4 and all other media refused to report that those who interrupted the prime minister were Muslims who were interrupting the prime minister because they seemingly wanted to force Islamic values on the Swedish workplace.

The day after their protest, in an interview with Radio Sweden, these activists had the opportunity to explain why they protested -- but were not asked any critical questions. The next day, an Expressen columnist, Maria Rydhagen, compared one of the hijab-activists glowingly with one of the founders of the Swedish Social Democratic Party, Axel Danielsson. Rydhagen wrote the following about Jasmin Nur Ismail:

"Then, on Monday, the protest of the girls was perceived as only an incident. But imagine if it was the start of something big? Perhaps history was being written, there and then? Imagine if Jasmin Nur is the Axel Danielsson of 2017. Hero and rebel. In that case: Was it not a pity to remove her with the help of the police?"

As the media refused to write anything negative about the protest against the prime minister, this author began to investigate the matter. It took half an hour to find out several important things which were never mentioned by the Swedish mainstream media. Jasmin Nur Ismail had written about the incident on her Facebook page shortly after the protest. Who was behind the protest was not a secret.

The demonstration had been organized by the Hayat Women's Movement and a network called, "The Right to Our Bodies". The Hayat Women's Movement was founded by Aftab Soltani, who in March 2017 was one of the speakers at a much-criticized annual Islamic event in Sweden, Muslimska Familjedagarna (Muslim Family Days). The event was blamed by both the left and the right for inviting hate preachers, anti-Semites and Muslim radicals as speakers. Another speaker at this Islamic event in March 2017 was Jasmin Nur Ismail, a heroine of the Swedish media. Muslimska Familjedagarna was organized by the Islamist Ibn Rushd Educational Association, the Islamic Association of Sweden (Islamiska Förbundet i Sverige) and Sweden's Young Muslims (Sveriges Unga Muslimer).

Jasmin Nur Ismail, hailed as a heroine in Expressen, is a public figure. Southern Sweden's largest newspaper, Sydsvenskan, described her in an October 2016 article as an "activist, anti-racist and writer". According to Sydsvenskan, Jasmin Nur Ismail's political role-model is Malcolm X. During the Swedish Forum for Human Rights in 2016, Jasmin Nur Ismail was, in a panel discussion, the representative for Malmö's Young Muslims -- in turn, a subdivision of an Islamist organization, Sweden's Young Muslims.

Swedish newspapers did not write a single word that the person and organizations behind the protest against Sweden's prime minister had links with Islamist organizations. When the Swedish media reported about the event, the public were told that these hijab-activists were completely unknown Muslim girls who only wanted to wear their veil.

THE MALMO MOSQUE

Mainstream Swedish media outlets simply do not report some things. When the largest mosque in Scandinavia was opened in Sweden's third largest city, Malmö, the news about this was first published in the Qatar News Agency and The Peninsula on May 3, 2017. The reason that Qatar's media wrote about it was because Qatar financed a large part of the mosque. On May 5, an article about this mosque was published in Breitbart. On May 6, one day after Breitbart reported the news and three days after the Qatari media reported the news, the Swedish terrorist expert Magnus Ranstorp sent a tweet about this mosque, but he linked it to the Qatari media. At this time, there are still no Swedish media outlets that have reported anything about the largest mosque in Scandinavia.
On May 8, the Swedish blog Jihad i Malmö wrote about the mosque and its Qatari financing. On May 9, the Swedish blog Pettersson gör skillnad wrote about the mosque. At the same time, the Norwegian author and activist Hege Storhaug, who is critical of Islam, wrote about the mosque and noted that the Swedish media had not yet written about it:

"I had expected that the Swedish media at the very least would mention the opening of Scandinavia's largest mosque with positive words. But no, not a word in Swedish mainstream media, as far as I have noticed. You have to go to the English version of Arabic media to get some limited information, like Qatar News Agency."

By the time I tweeted about it on May 10, the mainstream Swedish media still had not widely reported it. On May 15, I wrote an article on it for the news website Situation Malmö, run by the Sweden Democrats party branch in Malmö. With one hour's research, I managed, through what the mosque had published on Facebook, to discover that one of the leading Social Democrat politicians in Malmö, Frida Trollmyr, a municipal commissioner with responsibility for culture, recreation and health, had been at the mosque's opening. Representatives of the Qatari government also attended, but the mainstream Swedish media still had not reported anything about it.

On May 17, two weeks after the Qatari media had written that Scandinavia's largest mosque had been built in Malmö, twelve days after Breitbart had written about the event, and two days after my article, the Sydsvenskan newspaper wrote about the mosque opening. You could not read the article, however, if you had not paid for "premium-membership" to this newspaper.

One can see this omission as an unfortunate coincidence, but it is strange when Breitbart succeeds in communicating more information about Malmö than southern Sweden's largest newspaper, Sydsvenskan, headquartered in Malmö. Why would the Swedish media not write about the mosque? It was certainly not a secret. There was no explanation from the Swedish media or anyone else. Yet, these media outlets did not hesitate to expose the names of private citizens who wrote inappropriate opinions on a public commentary page.

 ---------

There are journalists in Sweden who change their views as soon as the government changes its opinion. Göran Greider, a journalist and editor, active in the public debate in Sweden for more than 30 years, wrote the following in August, 2015, about migration policy:

"The European governments who say no to increasing the number of refugees received not only show a shameful lack of solidarity. They are also silent when they decline to rejuvenate their populations."

In November 2015, only three months later, when the Swedish Government was forced to change its position in migration policy because of the migration crisis, Göran Greider wrote:

"But even the left, including many Social Democrats and members of the Green Party, have sometimes been characterized by an unwillingness to discuss the great challenges that receiving refugees, in the quantity we have seen lately, implies for a society. No one wants to be a nationalist. No one wants to be accused of running the errands of Sweden Democrats, or racism. But in this way, people on the left, who are so broadly for bringing in refugees, have often locked themselves out of a realistic discussion."

There is nothing wrong in reconsider one's opinion. But it has become common for Swedish journalists frequently to have opinions that favor certain political parties – often the Social Democrats, the Left Party and the Green Party. The issue is not even about values. People who work for the mainstream Swedish media are ready to reconsider their values so long as it helps certain parties to stay in power. This is far from what is presumably the media's main task in a democracy.

How is it that no newspaper is rebelling against this order? It would be a good business proposition; such a media outlet could potentially gain financial benefits. The Swedish establishment is, after all, not popular. Well, we can look at the example of someone who tried.
In February 2017, a financier, Mats Qviberg, bought a free daily newspaper, Metro, usually distributed in subways and buses in Sweden. In May, he gave an interview to the newspaper Nyheter Idag, considered by the Swedish establishment to be "right-wing" or "populist". In his interview, Qviberg gave a slight playful hint that Metro might in some way cooperate with Nyheter Idag.

The consequence of the playful statement was that the Green Party in Stockholm County Council threatened that Stockholm County would stop handing out Metro in Stockholm's subways. A columnist stopped writing for the paper. Other media outlets started to wonder out loud if Metro were becoming a racist platform. Before the month of May was over, Qviberg had sold his shares in Metro. That politicians would punish an owner of a newspaper who had "wrong" views did not surprise anyone in Sweden; the situation was not worth mentioning. In Sweden, even owners of newspapers are supposed to follow the political order.

In June 2017, the leader of the Sweden Democrats (SD), Jimmie Åkesson, spoke in Järva, a district in Stockholm dominated by immigrants. The Sweden Democrats is a social conservative party in the Swedish parliament; it supports, among other matters, a restrictive migration policy. While Åkesson was speaking, there were protests against him; and among the protesters were various placards. In a photograph of Radio Sweden's van, inside it was an anti-SD placard. On it, one could read "Jimmie = Racist". The explanation from Radio Sweden was:
"Someone put a sign on Ekot's (a news program on Radio Sweden) car in Järva on Sunday evening. It was taken down and put into the car and then thrown away on the way from there."

You can have a discussion about why Radio Sweden spends its time discarding placards that left-wing protesters use. Is that what journalist are supposed to do when they are covering a story? In the end, however, it does not matter. The people's confidence in the mainstream media in Sweden is being eroded as we write.

A new study from Institutet för Mediestudier shows that 54% agree, or partly agree, that the Swedish media are not telling the whole truth about problems in society linked to migration. Instead of the media accepting that they are biased and starting to change their ways, the media continue to attack citizens who appear critical.

In June 2017, the editorial writer of Aftonbladet, Anders Lindberg wrote an editorial titled, "Hitler did not trust the media either," in which he equated the critics of the Swedish media with Nazis. Anders Lindberg, after working 10 years for the Social Democrats, resigned as the Communications Ombudsman for the Social Democrats in 2010, to start operating as an editorial writer for Aftonbladet. He is so well-known for what his critics view as unusual versions of the truth that he has the privilege of writing for Sweden's largest newspaper. In 2015, he described the issue of organized begging, a visible problem in northern Europe, as "legends and folklore". Today there is no party that denies that organized begging is a real problem.

I have often difficulties explaining to many of my American friends and colleagues how the Swedish media work. Often, there may be clear examples of antisemitism and other unsavory behavior. The first question I always get is: Why is the media not writing about this? The answer is simple.
 The Swedish media are politicized to the extent that they act as a propaganda machine.
It may not be a propaganda machine in the traditional sense of the word, with propaganda ministers and an official Ministry of Propaganda. In Sweden, many of the journalists and editors are either old established political party employees, as Anders Lindberg, or simply ideologically indoctrinated and therefore extremely biased. The Swedish propaganda machine punishes those who have the "wrong" opinions and celebrates those who have the "right" opinions.

What happened to Tim Pool was a part of how media works in Sweden. As long as he said the "right" things, the Swedish media gave a positive picture of him. When he started to have the "wrong" opinion, the propaganda machine started doing its work and Pool became "a threat to democracy".

There are of course more examples that show how sick the Swedish debate-and media-climate has become. In such a negative environment, there are many casualties. The first is obviously the truth. When people start to understand that the mainstream media are lying, they turn to alternative media. Alternative media outlets, however, also usually have political agendas. A democracy cannot survive well only on biased media. A democracy desperately needs mainstream media outlets that inform its citizens and criticize people who hold power. That is something Sweden does not have today.

A large portion of the Swedish population are apparently aware of this and do not trust the media. Through its lies, the Swedish media have created possibilities for "post-truth-politics" in Sweden.
Instead of being a neutral party, the mainstream Swedish media have lied to uphold certain "politically correct" values. 
The result is an atmosphere where many people believe that everything that the media says has a political agenda. When the mainstream media in Sweden lie shamelessly, where can one go to find the truth?
One wonders what lifestyle and political stability Sweden will have when no one can know the truth about what is really going on.

The Irish Savant : Not with a bang but a whimper

The Irish Savant

Not with a bang but a whimper

I have (with the exception of sport, and I'm working on that) long ago given up watching TV.  It was surprisingly easy. But due to family circumstances I had to endure severe doses of it for most of last week. The scale, depth and overall pervasiveness of the indoctrination was breathtaking. 

 

 It starts with infants. The cartoon characters are close to 50% non-White, blacks and browns are portrayed as clever and well-spoken leaders, families invariably mixed-race, often featuring same-sex 'parents', androgyny is everywhere with everything dumbed-down to the lowest degree. The aphorism 'give me the child and I'll give you the adult' - variously attributed to Lenin and the Jesuits - never seemed more valid. 

 

On Sky News the two coal black presenters (one male, one female of course) were at one stage joined by the network's Chief Political Correspondent...... one Feisal Islam.

There followed a panel discussion on what it means to be British. Panel was wall-to-wall black and brown with a few carefully-selected  British eunuchs thrown in for ballast. The general consensus was that they all felt British. But would prefer if being British was less associated with being White! The limp-wristed moderator clucked in sympathy. And that's the way it's going. The resultant stew will have no common sense of history, culture, race or religion....the things that made them British. (The same syndrome applies all over western Europe, from Ireland to Greece, from Finland to Portugal). 

In such circumstances the nation eventually becomes fractious and atomised. Sedated and stupefied by bread and circuses an enormous cohort of welfare parasites will  continue to elect politicians that actively work to destroy their nation-states and enmesh them ever deeper into the international globo-homo power structures. 

But surely the White middle and working class males will not just sit back while they get dispossessed of everything their ancestors left them? Well that's where my excerpt from T S Elliot's Hollow Man comes in. I think they'll do just that.  

Despite Brexit and the inescapable signs of a White awakening I fear this is the way their world ends, not with a bang but a whimper. Already street-by-street vast swathes of their towns and cities have succumbed to the toxic black/brown sludge. And Whites retreat. Again and again. How long can this go on? Well, long enough for it to become an irreversible reality.

Before that happens the real nature of multiculturalism will of course have become clear. But this is where the carefully-constructed mind control programme comes in. Because as Orwell foresaw, when you constrain what can be said you eventually constrain what can be thought. 

 

My grandson's generation may well end up lying to themselves without knowing that they're doing it. Fyodor Dostoyevsky wrote 

 “Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others." 

 

 I became aware of this in the old Communist countries, especially Roumania. The lies and cognitive dissonance were so outrageous it seemed to me the authorities were not trying to convince but to humiliate, to break the people's spirit and will to resist. By forcing people to acquiesce to the lies and to remain silent, or even worse to regurgitate them rots the moral fibre, rendering them easily controllable and malleable.

“The Neon Demon” Reveals The True Face of the Occult Elite

 

 

The Neon Demon is a movie about the fashion industry and its obsession with youth and beauty. However, through its story and symbolism, the movie reveals the disturbing mindset of the fashion world and the occult elite behind it.


The Neon Demon is painful to watch. Not only is it filled with long hypnotic sequences that emphasize the shallow self-importance of the fashion world, it deliberately dwells on some of the most upsetting human practices possible including p********a, necrophilia, cannibalism and ritual killings. All of these horrors are presented in an aesthetically pleasing matter and placed in a cool, fashionable context in an apparent attempt to normalize them.
Like most of the entertainment analyzed on the Vigilant Citizen, this movie leaves a foul feeling, as if one’s very soul was violated by what was just witnessed. Of course, this kind of result from a “psychological horror movie” is to be expected, but the most disturbing part of this movie isn’t the fiction: It is the dark “real world” truths it appears to celebrate. Indeed, when one knows about the dark side of the entertainment industry – and the occult elite that owns it – the movie becomes a disturbing manifesto, an indulgent celebration from people who revel in darkness. In short, it discloses what the industry is truly about, how it truly functions, and who is truly behind it.
Through the story of a innocent young girl who moves to L.A. with big dreams of being an international supermodel, The Neon Demon reveals the true ugly face of the entertainment industry.
Let’s look at The Neon Demon.

Culture of Death

Subjecting oneself to this kind of movie means being exposed to the twisted mindset of those behind it. And right from the start, The Neon Demon gives us all eyeful of what the fashion world is about: Celebrating a culture of death while preying on youth and innocence.

 

In the first scene of the movie, Jesse poses in a photoshoot where she appears dead after having her throat slit.

If you’ve read past editions of Symbolic Pics of the Month, you’re already aware of this trend happening in actual fashion shoots. Here is one example of a real photoshoot where the model is basically a “fashionable corpse”.

“Pin Up”, W Magazine, 2008

Preying on Youth

The model in the bloody photoshoot is Jesse, a 16 year-old model who is “new in town”. She meets Ruby, a make-up artist who nonchalantly asks her very specific questions.

As Jesse reveals that she’s a young and vulnerable aspiring model, Ruby gives her intense looks as if saying: “I want to consume you” … literally.

– You’ve just got to L.A., Jesse?
– How did you know?
– You’ve got that look. Don’t worry honey. That whole deer-in-the-headlights thing is exactly what they want.

The “deer-in-the-headlights” thing means youth and innocence. “They” prey and feed on it … literally.
After learning about Jesse’s vulnerable situation, Ruby invites her to a party. This is how newcomers get introduced to the claustrophobic social bubble that is the fashion world.

At the show, Jesse is introduced to two other models, Gigi and Sarah, who also quickly interrogate Jesse.

Ruby mentions that lipstick colors tend to sell more when they’re named after food or sex. She then asks Jesse:

– Are you food or are you sex?

This odd question will become extremely relevant later in the movie. Indeed, there are two ways her vital energy can be “consumed”.
The girls then watch a bizarre show that features a tied-up model. At the climax of the show, she is lifted in the air and placed in position that carries important symbolic meaning.

While music is blaring and lights are flashing, the bound model floats in the air.

The model’s position is strongly reminiscent to Louise Bourgeois’ Arch of Hysteria.

Louise Bourgeois’ “The Arch of Hysteria”

This particular piece of art and position was shown to be important to the occult elite. Serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer placed one of his headless victims in that specific position (you can view the disturbing picture here if you absolutely need to).
Dahmer was a cannibal. The Neon Demon also deals with cannibalism. And more. Like abusing minors.

Keano Reeves plays the role of a motel owner who rents rooms to aspiring models. He’s a creep.

At one point, the motel owner tells Jesse’s friend to check out a girl at his motel.

“Take a peek in room 214 if you get a chance. Runaway. Thirteen years old. Real lolita sh*t. Room 214. Gotta be seen.”

 

Later in the movie, the motel owner creeps into Jesse’s room to insert a knife down her throat. It is a disturbing reference to violent abuse of young models.

Through these various scenes, we understand that Jesse has entered a messed up world that is looking to consume her.

Entering the Industry

Jesse is soon recruited by a fashion agency that promises her to work with “all of the big designers”, which will lead her to”international success”. When Jesse admits that she’s only 16 years old and that she did not graduate from high school, she is told to tell people that she’s 19.
Nobody cares that she is a minor. In fact, her youth gives her that “something” that the industry desperately preys on. Youth is not only used to sell copies of magazines, it is exploited on a deeper level. Primitive civilizations used to sacrifice young virgins to the gods because they were believed to have the most “magical potency”. This concept is still alive today. People with great wealth, power, and influence believe in these occult concepts that most think to be outdated. The Neon Demon addresses these things in a thinly veiled matter.
When Jesse goes to her first photoshoot with a “big” photographer, things get weird.

At the photoshoot, Jesse has a shiny thing glued to her face. Its shape is reminiscent to the head of Baphomet, complete with horns and the torch of illumination. While this might be a coincidence, the occult context of the movie would say otherwise.

When the photographer sees Jesse with her golden stickers, he appears taken with her. He tells everybody present to leave the room. He then orders Jesse to take off all of her clothes. She’s still 16.

Then, in a strange scene, the photographer passionately rubs Jesse with gold stuff, strangely focusing on her throat in scene that might simultaneously refer them doing it and her being “the golden girl” of the industry.

Transformation

Jesse’s “It” factor leads her to star at a fashion show. This show begins normally but soon turns into a long, hypnotic, occult ritual that appears to profoundly transform Jesse.
As Jesse walks down the runway, an alternate scene simultaneously takes place in a “higher” dimension. The fashion show is Jesse’s initiation to the industry, where she discovers her new alter persona.
 

Jesse finds herself under an illuminated pyramid – symbol of the occult elite.

We see the birth of a new Jesse who cannot stop kissing herself.

After the show, a new, sexy, non-innocent Jesse is born.

A new Jesse is “unveiled”. She is not a goodie-two-shoes anymore. She wants to be part of the glamorous and supercifial world of fashion.

Under the Eye All-Seeing Eye

As Jesse progresses into the fashion world, we are subtly introduced to the dark occult world that rules it. We are also heavily introduced to the symbol that represents it: the ubiquitous All-Seeing Eye (of course). In the movie, the all-seeing eye, aka the eye in the sky, is associated with the moon.

Under a full moon, Jesse talks about how she has no discernible talent except for being pretty … and about how she used to talk to the moon.

“When I was a kid, I would sneak out the roof at night. I thought the moon looked like a big round eye. And I would look up and say: Do you see me?”

Jesse wanted to be noticed by the entertainment industry. She wanted the “big round eye” to see her. Well, it saw her. She got initiated into the industry.
When things get dangerous at her motel, Jesse is invited to stay at Ruby’s house … and things get even weirder. The deer-in-the-headlights is now trapped inside an elite home, and the predators are circling in.

At first, Ruby forces herself on Jesse, who admits being a virgin.

When Jesse pushes her away, Ruby becomes mad. If Jesse cannot be sex, she will be food (you remember the quote above?). But first, Ruby has to do something real quick.
In the next scene, we see Ruby at her second job in a mortuary home where she does makeup on corpses. When she receives the body of a young woman, Ruby becomes very excited.

Ruby kisses and fondles a dead body. Yes. The movie goes there. For a long time.

While this disturbing scene is happening, another scene is juxtaposed to it.

While Ruby is indulging into all-out necrophilia, Jesse sensually touches herself.

This annoying bit is dragged on for a long time. As Ruby gets excited and moaning sounds intensify, we realize that the movie makers are actually trying hard to make this scene arousing to the viewers. It’s like, they’re really into that stuff and they want us to be into it as well.
After this unnecessary scene, Jesse dresses up for no apparent reason. She becomes the sacrificial lamb.

Jesse puts on a white dress, looking as if she was a young girl about to be sacrificed to the gods.

When Jesse goes outside, Ruby and her two model friends go after her and kill her.

Blood sacrifice. The movie makers made this death scene as fashionable as possible.

Ruby and her friends do not simply kill Jesse … they consume her. Literally.

Ruby is literally bathing in Jesse’s blood. The two other models are also drenched in blood in the shower.

After this nauseating scene, we see Ruby partaking in a strange ritual under a full moon – the “big round eye”. She is demonstrating servitude to the the All-Seeing Eye.

Ruby lays on the floor, basking in moonlight.

As if to emphasize the culture of death, Ruby is then seen laying where Jesse has been buried.

Meanwhile, the two other models who consumed Jesse are featured in a high-profile photoshoot. Apparently, eating Jesse imparted them the “It” factor that makes them desirable by the industry again. However, during the photoshoot, one of the models feels sick.

The model cannot take having Jesse inside of her. She stabs herself in the stomach and throws up Jesse’s … eyeball.

The other model picks up the undigested eyeball.

What does she do with the eyeball? Guess.

She eats it! She eats the whole thing!

Then, with a completely vacant look on her face, the model goes back to the fashion shoot. ** Cue pop song by trendy pop singer Sia. **
So, what the hell just happened? What is the moral of the story?
Well, “moral” is not really a word that applies here. “Moral” means “concerned with the principles of right and wrong behavior and the goodness or badness of human character”. There is no “moral” here, just an exposition of what the fashion world is about.
The Neon Demon describes how the industry preys on young girls (preferably very young), trapping them in a world they cannot escape. It depicts how people deep in the industry are involved in sick practices motivated by dark rituals.
Jesse, a simple girl from a small town, was full of the natural beauty and vitality that the soulless Hollywood vampires so desperately crave. After years inside the cesspool that is the fashion industry, all the humanity has been sucked out from them, leaving them yearning for young blood.
Innocent souls not yet tainted by the industry are lured towards the “inner circle” to then be exploited. When they cannot be used anymore, they are disposed of. Those who actually make it in the industry are those who profit from the exploitation – those who “absorb” the life force of others. Those who make it are those who have completely sold their soul and are willing to swallow the occult elite’s eyeball to keep going.
The Neon Demon is about celebrating all of this. Literally.

The premier of Neon Demon featured the stars eating eyeballs. Behind them is a pyramid with a missing eyeball at the top.

In Conclusion

After watching The Neon Demon, it is not surprising to learn that it failed at the box office. It is an indulgent, self-aggrandizing, promotional piece by the industry and for the industry.
And no, the movie does not aim to “expose” or “reveal” anything. It actually attempts to make everything cool, trendy and fashionable. What makes this movie more disturbing is the fact that there is actual truth behind the fiction. People at the highest levels of these industries are indeed steeped in systematic abuse, exploitation, and all kinds of other sickening practices. They are so protected by the system that they can make movies about this crap and nobody interrupts their fun.
Why are they so into this? Well, once you swallow the occult elite’s eyeball, you’re either infected for life … or you die. ** Cue pop song by trendy singer Sia **.

Lasha Darkmoon : Brainwashing People: The Ten Steps of Mind Manipulation

Brainwashing People: The Ten Steps of Mind Manipulation

Lasha Darkmoon April 22, 2017 

If you can get people to believe that Scotsmen wear saris, you can get them to believe almost anything.

WOMEN IN SARIS (left), MAN IN KILT (right)

According to recent research into the “illusory truth effect“,  it is relatively easy to brainwash people into believing a lie even after they know the truth. This is done simply by repeating the lie endlessly until it erases the truth formerly impressed on their minds.
Let’s take an example.
You happen to know what a “kilt” is. It is a tartan skirt worn by men in Scotland. (See above, right). You also know what a “sari” is. It is a long graceful dress worn by women in India. (See above, left). Now imagine you are told that men in Scotland don’t really wear kilts, that they actually wear saris. All this time, you are told, you have been getting it wrong. You have been badly misinformed. Men in Scotland, you are told for the umpteenth time, actually wear saris.

Well, according to the latest research, quite a few people are going to start doubting that Scotsmen wear kilts and are going to end up believing that Scotsmen actually wear saris.

The important thing is to make sure the lie is repeated so often that repetition has the effect of a hypnotic suggestion on their minds. There is an old Latin proverb: Repetitio est mater studiorum (‘Repetition is the mother of studies’). The best way to learn anything is to hammer it into the mind through constant repetitions.
Maybe the young and impressionable will be the first to fall for the lie that Scotsmen wear saris. A minority of stubborn diehards will continue to believe the truth — that Scotsmen wear kilts — but they will now have to contend with an increasing number of strident fanatics who keep telling them they’re “crazy” for believing in the “canard” that Scotsmen wear kilts. Believing Scotsmen wear saris has now become politically correct. If you don’t believe that Scotsmen wear saris you are now in trouble.
If you dare to go on suggesting that Scotsmen wear kilts, you will now face intense hostility: you will be ostracized, you will be dismissed from your job, you will be fined for insulting Scotsmen by using the hated k-word, you will be put in prison for “sari denial”, and you will finally be packed off to a mental institution for psychiatric treatment.
To force an entire population into accepting the lie that Scotsmen wear saris requires  a step-by-step approach. It requires media control and mindbending propaganda on a monumental scale. The initiators of the Big Lie, the core propagandists, will of course be fully aware that they are promoting a Big Lie. But they will need to believe that the Big Lie is necessary and good and serves a noble end: that the end justifies the means. As time goes on, many of these original Lie promoters will come to believe passionately in the validity of their original Lie and see it as an alternative truth. (See The Big Lie)
Organized Lie Promotion will now proceed in ten methodical stages which we may call the Ten Steps of Mind Manipulation:
1.  Repetition of the lie on a daily basis in thousands of different newspapers, books, magazines, learned journals, TV documentaries, movies, and internet forums. Exposed to this deluge of daily repeated lies, the human mind will eventually capitulate and come to believe the lie.
2.  A parallel refusal to allow promoters of the truth equal access to the media and provide them with a space for reasonable debate. The public must on no account be allowed to consider the possibility that the New Truth is actually the Big Lie dressed up in new clothes. All opportunities for considering the pros and cons, for evaluating evidence objectively, for deciding on the merits and demerits of conflicting hypotheses, will be flatly denied to the general public. For the Big Lie to take root in the collective mind, access to the truth must be severely restricted, denied, and finally outlawed.
3.  To promote the lie and discredit the truth, the truth must henceforth be labeled a “conspiracy theory” and its promoters dismissed as brain-damaged kooks.
4.  The next step is to criminalize the truth by labeling it “hate speech”, suggesting that any expression of this truth will lead to public disorder and death. Truth telling now becomes “terrorism”.
5.  Parallel with this process of vilification of so-called “conspiracy theories” is the systematic fabrication of false, far-fetched, and genuinely disreputable conspiracy theories by government agents. The more prolific and absurd these fabricated theories, and the more people who can be persuaded to accept these theories, the better all round. The truth is now murked and buried under a mound of deliberately invented lies. This is all part and parcel of the black propaganda process which depends heavily on organized disinformation.
6.  Since there is no way to prevent Thought Crime—i.e., political dissidence, “radicalization”, and rejection of politically correct lies masquerading as the truth—the next step is invariably mockery, ridicule, and ad hominem attacks on those few valiant souls who persist in questioning the prevailing mendacity disguised as truth. The dissidents will be invited onto radio and TV programs, or interviewed in the press, only to find themselves pilloried there and made into laughing stocks.
7.  Character assassination. The Truthtellers will now find themselves being misquoted, or quoted out of context, with entirely false stories fabricated about them, amounting to character assassination. They will become objects of state surveillance and everything seedy or unwholesome about them, from old compromising emails to explicit photographs taken in their youth, will be presented to the public and help to destroy their reputations.
8.  Organized outrage is the next step. All politically incorrect statements made by the freethinkers—statements that would have been universally approved of by our ancestors or in no way disconcerted them unduly—will now be met by a wall of organized outrage. We have now passed from ridicule to intimidation. The political dissident is no longer a laughing stock, he is now a threat to public order. He must be silenced, he must apologize, he must grovel at the feet of his New Masters and beg for forgiveness.
9.  Punishment is the next step for those who question the prevailing wisdom: ostracism, loss of employment, banning of their books, stiff fines for expressing their views, death threats, physical violence, and imprisonment. Heretics were once burnt at the stake. We are more civilized. We send our heretics to Germany to be imprisoned for “hate speech”. Others of darker complexion we pack off to torture camps to endure sleep deprivation, sexual humiliation at the hands of female degenerates in our employment, or waterboarding them 183 times in order to extract hidden facts which seldom emerge. It does not occur to us for a moment that our civilized torturers are infinitely more evil than the tragic victims they torture.
10. The use of bribery and blackmail in enforcing the new lie and silencing truth tellers.
Let’s recapitulate that. This is important, because these ten principles ought to be kept in mind at all times by truth seekers who might otherwise be sucked into the all-enveloping network of Systematic Lies. Here, in summary and for future reference, are the Ten Steps.

THE TEN STEPS OF MIND MANIPULATION

1.  Repetition of the lie ad infinitum.

2.  Maximum media exposure to the lie and minimum media exposure to the truth.

3.  Implanting the suggestion that the truth is an elaborate lie by labeling it a “conspiracy theory”.

4.  At the same time, suggesting that the truth is obnoxious by calling it “hate speech”. Truth telling  allegedly leads to public disorder and the death of certain targeted individuals, and so the expression of unpopular truths must be classified as “terrorism”.

5.  The systematic fabrication of false conspiracy theories by paid agents, in order to create maximum obfuscation and bring the truth into disrepute by associating it with a plethora of discredited ideas and far-fetched, ludicrous lies. 

6.  Exposure of the truth to mockery and contempt.

7.  Character assassination of truth tellers by a variety of underhand means, including misquoting them, telling lies about them, and digging up the dirt on them. 

8.  Organized outrage at any expression of the truth by a public figure, i.e., systematic intimidation.

9.  Severe punishment for telling the truth.

10.  The use of bribery and blackmail, the carrot and the stick, to reward the promoters of the lie and deter potential truth tellers from speaking out.

In regard to kilts and saris and their connection to Holocaust denial, the number one heresy of our day, here is an instructive quote from Wikipedia:

“At first, the truth effect was believed to occur only when individuals are highly uncertain about a given statement.
This assumption was challenged by the results of a 2015 study by Lisa K. Fazio, Nadia M. Brasier, B. Keith Payne, and Elizabeth J. Marsh. Published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, the study suggested that the truth effect can have an impact on participants who actually knew the correct answer to begin with, but who were swayed to believe otherwise through the repetition of a falsehood.
For example, when participants encountered on multiple occasions the statement ‘A sari is the name of the short plaid skirt worn by Scots,’ some of them were likely to come to believe it was true, even though these same people were able to correctly answer the question ‘What is the name of the short pleated skirt worn by Scots?'”

Like Orwell’s Winston Smith, after he was thoroughly brainwashed, you can eventually be duped into believing that two plus two equals five — and that men in Scotland wear saris.

“We believe that 2 + 2 = 5 and that Scotsmen wear saris —
and anyone who DENIES this should be EXTERMINATED!”

‘Sari denial’ and ‘Holocaust denial’ follow identical trajectories.
Just as you can brainwash an entire population into believing that Scotsmen wear saris (not kilts), and that two plus two equals five, so too you can brainwash an entire population into believing that six million Jews died in gas chambers during the Holocaust.
All it needs is constant repetition — day after day after day — and the threat of severe punishment for rejecting the New Lie.
