Turmoil in Portland, Oregon: 100-days of protests by Antifa with the protestors out in front of ICE facilities. ICE agents are being doxed and shamed and even attacked for doing their jobs. But what we hear from the mainstream media is that these protests are “mostly peaceful”.
Independent YouTuber Nick Shirley (from Utah) was reporting on Friday in Washington D.C. to the Trump administration about how he was witnessed paid protestors who travel the country to protest ICE and support Antifa. He reported that ICE is far more organized and supported than what the corporate media is revealing, and conditions on the ground are very dangerous, that it’s only thanks to the cameras rolling by independent reporters that conditions aren’t worsening.
This report begs the question: How much of what we are seeing is actual civil strife and how much is manufactured:imagery designed to make us feel fear for the opposite side of our own political party?
We are seeing images of civil strife, fighting and major disruptions of operations at ICE facilities. We can see in news reports that ICE Agents and the National Guard are in standoffs with Antifa and local Portland police. A Oregon Judge blocked President Trump’s attempt to send the California National Guard to Oregon.
Depending on the side you stand on you see these images as either the Trump agenda to deport illegal immigrants being disrupted by thug Antifa members; or you see these images as justifying the belief that the MAGA agenda is fascist and anti-immigrant. Why not take a step back and ask a bigger question?
How much of this widening gap in our civil strife can we trust? How much of this imagery (in which all independent YouTube reporters are attacked) is manufactured to stoke the fear-centers of our brains to escalate this conflict further? Why does it appear that the mass-media is stoking our fears?
In this episode we go over how the brain operates when it is exposed to imagery that activates our cerebral cortex and amygdala. How can you prevent yourself from becoming a pawn for the mass-media? How can you begin to understand the truth to what is happening?
