Dutch Maj. General takes the position that we live in an imposed pseudo-reality created by the state and enforced by the media

Regulars of this site may recognize the concepts in this video and the companion RAIR article as being the message of Maj, (Ret.) Stephen Coughlin for many years now. Even so, it is amazing to see this understanding coming from someone as deep in the military establishment as this Maj. General in the Dutch army.

  1. Yes.
    Along with Mj. Couphlin’s analysis, it’s exactly what I meant when I wrote this:

    ~~ and the follow-up ~~
    “Hard to believe that some people on our side are still exchanging spit with this lot. All that’s happened since 10/7, all dialogue sabotaged, and they still don’t get it. Or they don’t want to.

    “They’re just giving the enemy a gigantic platform to use for their brainwashing mission. They’re coming at us from so many directions, they’re gathering too many souls.

    “The superannuated hippies are reliving their salad days, the stories they told their grandchildren resonate. Stories of valor. Like spitting on vets while wearing Che Guevara T-shirts.”

    …..
    When fact is ruthlessly obliterated with narrative – BAMN – brainwashing intensifies and spreads. Opponents who participate in such “dialogues”, no matter how sincere, serve as nothing but controlled opposition.

    Free speech is an essential bulwark of a free society: necessary but sometimes insufficient. Somewhere along the line it can become a weapon: good guys don’t realize they’re actually collaborating with the enemy.

    It isn’t easy to discern the point at which the line has been crossed, when it’s time to stop playing and STFU. – At that point self-defense strategy must change.
    – THAT requires significantly more courage than facing the hecklers’ veto.

  2. Honestly, I do not think there’s a person alive capable of absorbing all the information we’re being bombed with or capable from separating truth based on hard provable fact from the hate in all its forms. Then add the never-ending obfuscations, which also no human could possibly figure out. Conclusion pick the preferred poison, and sleep with your eyes open.
