The fact that the world, the USA in particular, is going through information wars has become ever more apparent with recent events from 1/6/21. I knew that the day was going to be momentous because I knew that there was going to be a rally at Washington DC at the same time as the congressional hearings to certify the electoral college votes. Sure enough, it was a big day when barriers were breached and things reportedly turned violent. However, you will get different reports on who breached the barriers depending on who you ask, who you follow, who you associate with and what search engines you use. For example, The New York Times, a mainstream media outlet, had this headline:
Pro-Trump mob storms Capitol, disrupting electoral count

If you use Google as your search engine or even watch the 24 hour news TV channels in America such as CNN (reportedly more liberal) or Fox News (which is reportedly more conservative), you'll get similar stories that suggest that Trump supporters are brainwashed or "idiots" or extremists. Additionally, most of the mainstream media in America suggests that Trump incited anger in his followers as if they have no minds of their own. And the reports about calls for his resignation were right behind those reports.
However, if you check out alternative media or use the search engine DuckDuckGo, you may find testimony from people that were there at the capital stating that there was a smaller group of people at the rally who were different than the rest and these people were the ones to breach the barriers and taunt the police. Some reports suggested that Antifa members or members of the Proud Boys were the ones that represented this smaller group at the capital that day. Here's an example from the website The Independent:
Proud Boys boast they caused 'absolute terror' during Capitol riot
The group says it intentionally dressed in black on the day of the riot

Either way, it's important to try to get both sides of an issue before reacting, cutting off friends or family who are Trump supporters or Anti-Trump, or spreading more information or misinformation. There is a thing called "controlled opposition" which is a way of getting us to fight with each other in order to keep us controlled, distracted and at a lower vibrational state. It is important that we do not give into these attempts to divide us. It is also important to take into account that propaganda is alive and well in America through Operation Mockingbird and other attempts to keep us mind controlled and enslaved. It is becoming more known that the same few conglomerates own all of the media outlets in the press. It is also becoming more known that both the Pentagon and the CIA teamed up with Hollywood to release films that are propaganda such as Zero Dark Thirty.
Critical thinking is becoming a no-no in American institutions such as the primary and secondary and higher education systems. It's even a no-no to go against the grain in established institutions such as the health care system in America. Any doctor or health care worker that doesn't go along to get along and support the official narrative will get fired and then blackballed.
Controlling what information we get and what information we don't get is one way to control our perception and run a smear campaign against anyone of the cabal's choosing. Ever since Trump won the election in 2016, there has been a massive smear campaign against him and anyone who follows him. But most people aren't willing to even enter an intelligent debate or consider a different point of view. He has now been banned from Twitter. So has much respected people who are affiliated with him such as General Flynn, Sidney Powell and Lin Wood. Well, if the president of the United States can be silenced and censored, that anyone can be censored.
YouTube, Facebook and Twitter have gone about the business of censoring anyone who challenges the official narrative about COVID, about Trump, about the 2020 election, etc. Strong alternative media influencers such as David Icke, Jamie DeLux, and Sacha Stone, just to name a few, have been banned, demonetized, or lost followers on their online platforms. So has anyone who says anything against the official narrative. They are all pretty much dismissed as "conspiracy theorists." So a critical thinking question: Why is this? In David Icke's book, Remember Who You Are, he writes, "The 'revolutions' are manipulated through a complex web of foundations and organisations working with other groups and agencies, including the CIA and Mossad. The Open Society Institute and other (Georg) Soros-connected groupings funded and trained Georgian students in the art of mass protest, and financed the opposition TV station that encouraged demonstrations." Of course, if you quote David Icke at all, you are "dismissed" as a "conspiracy theorist" by anyone not willing to employ critical thinking.
There was a doctor, Stella Immanuel, who was championed by Trump and who said that she had successfully treating COVID19 with HCQ. Well, she was slandered, called "crazy" by people in positions of power, including Biden, and this information about HCQ was belittled and ridiculed and suppressed. If you look up information on her on social media, she is described as a witch doctor who talks about spirits. God forbid anyone talk about spiritual matters, especially if you are a doctor. That is considered a big No No. Now that the vaccine has been rolled out, however, there are studies that are showing HCQ to indeed be effective in treating COVID19. Think of all the lives that could have been saved if this information wasn't suppressed in the first place. So again, you have to ask yourself: why is it okay for this information, about HCQ as an effective treatment for COVID19, to be out there in the mainstream media now that the vaccine has been rolled out?
I do know from personal experience that many anti-vaxxers are being attacked and belittled and ridiculed. If you don't go along with the official narrative or popular opinion, you are danger of losing your job, adversely affecting your schooling and ability to find work, being censored, and/or being ostracized from your family, your coworkers, your friends, your platforms on social media and your reputation and standing in society.
Most people are only willing to view or watch media that supports their political leanings, spiritual beliefs and values. They are not open to viewing what "the other side" thinks or beliefs. I know that I have attempted to stay open to both sides of an argument and finding out what each side is saying before making a decision on where I stand on an issue. I watch Fox News and CNN. I look into alternative media sources as well. I find it interesting that I find things out on alternative media much faster and sooner than I do on mainstream media or what is reported on alternative media never makes it to mainstream media at all. I consider myself to be an independent when it comes to politics with no loyalty to any group. So I challenge you to check out the content on these websites that might offer new ways of thinking about our current political landscape. It is important for us, as a humanity, to aim for fluidity of thought instead of just accepting what we've been told.
