A Lady Pole like feeling.

Sometimes, when I attempt to explain anything pertinent to our politics, I feel a bit like the character Lady Pole from the novel, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell.  Whenever she would try to explain to people about the harm caused to her by the evil faerie prince, she was compelled to speak a kind of gibberish instead. This was because of the spell the faerie had her in.

Outside the land on Faerie, and more specifically, in the United States of today - there are many possible reasons why our political discourse can turn into gibberish. These reasons range from the mundane to the incredible. By "incredible," I mean that which is often relegated to the realm of "conspiracy theory"

A simple reason we might be inclined towards political nonsense is because we are constantly exposed to political nonsense. Mass communications, often one-way communications (with the possible exception of the internet) fill our minds with fantasy. What has become the mass media, including television, radio, and the internet to some extent, assaults us with the greatest illogic  history has ever known.

So far, I have been speaking of the mundane, which should be fairly obvious to most. Moving beyond the mundane, into the realm of ideas often relegated to "conspiracy theory," there is much to consider.

Let's start with one that is a little less controversial. For decades, we have known about the potential for subliminal messages to alter thought and behavior. Some would say the potential is exaggerated. For instance, it has been claimed that for one to be motivated to buy a soda at the drive-in movie, one first had to be truly thirsty. And, there is some quibbling over how "subliminal" is really defined.  The above link makes the case that sometimes we mean "supraliminal" rather than "subliminal."

To move further into the realm of "conspiracy theory," There are allegations that, whether this counts as subliminal or not, the US government has technology to broadcast audio messages directly to a single individual.   In fact, here is a video that shows a private individual demonstrating the technology allowing him to do this very thing.

Of course, there is much more, and I haven't even mentioned things like MK Ultra and Project Mockingbird. There certainly are cases when fact is stranger than fiction, but at least it is still unlikely that one could be manipulated by a faerie prince.

I have reasons to believe the "targeted Individual" theory

Every now and then, there will be a story in the news about individuals doing something reckless, dangerous, and out of character for them - with terrible results for them personally, not to mention others (especially others). There was an event in my life that I still haven't come to terms with, and as crazy as it may sound, I can not rule out some of the more far out theories even to explain my own case.

The most recent story is the case of the woman who drove her car into the Oklahoma State sports crowd.    there is no logical explanation for her actions. Every account from people who know her (as is the pattern in other cases) tells us that she would never do such a thing. So why did she do it? Well, there are probable explanations out there.

What the state relies on

Most people probably haven't given it much thought, but the main way the state, any state (other than maybe Iceland) manages its affairs is really through its "intelligence" services. For instance, the people might be allowed to see a larger US made war on the news (to some extent at least), but what happened in the weeks, months, and even years that led up to that? I would bet that various states were acting out there tragic plays on the world stage, usually using spy craft.

Of course, if anybody gets too close to the truth about any of these events being played out in the dark, they are labeled a "conspiracy theorist." Or, perhaps worse things would happen to them. I'm convinced that often not a word would be said to the targeted person. Strange things might happen. There is the idea of the "targeted individual." I tend to believe it is true simply because of some weird stuff that happened to me personally. Perhaps there will be a time when I write about that. Not now though.

"Targeted Individuals" have the perception that they are being monitored, and even harassed, in various ways by...somebody. I would call that somebody either "the shadow government" or "the deep state." They might not know why this is being to done to them. Many people would write them off as simply paranoid, or in need of psychiatric help. I'll eventually get to what I think about the psychiatric establishment, and to put it nicely - I'm not entirely convinced they know what they're doing.  But after the Snowden revelations, is it too far fetched to think people are being monitored and even harassed? Hmm?

You see, this is what they would do. They would play little games. They would ruin a person's credibility. They might even harm the people you love around you to get to you, and never come out of the darkness. The targeted person might never truly understand why they have been made a target.

Noam Chomsky once said that states operate kind of like mafias. He didn't mean it in this way. He was talking more about foreign policy. In fact, he would probably consider everything I've written thus far as "conspiracy theory."  But I would contend it applies the same way to how things are handled inside the state as well.

One quote I've been coming across a lot recently is the one by Voltaire. It can be paraphrased as you know who has power over you by who you can't criticize. So, this leads me to another area of the shadow government one must ignore, which is the Zionist connection. Actually, many people have been openly wondering how much influence Israel has on our politics, which would mean over the shadow government. When a hundred senators vote to legitimize the war on Gaza, it is hard not to see the influence. On the other hand, the White House doesn't seem to be 100% in with the Zionists. Maybe about 90%?

Either way, democracy has failed. It is hard to go on about democracy when the elected government is doing the exact opposite of what would benefit the people. When I learn about a meeting of NATO in Wales that benefits nobody, and only causes more problems for world peace, then I know democracy has failed. It doesn't even rise to the level of a joke. Or, as George Carlin once said, "They don't give a f--k about you!"

What Voltaire left out is we must look at who we not allowed to praise as well. We, in the "west" are not permitted to think, much less say, that Qaddafi or Assad, or dare I mention, the evil Hezbollah, might be more than a cartoon caricature. Certainly, we can't mention that something positive for their people could have been accomplished through them. The "west" (meaning the US) makes the rules about who is a terrorist and who isn't. We aren't even permitted to know our own status as citizens. Are we on some list? The state will attempt to make it hard for one to find out his or her status regarding such lists.

Which brings me to ISIS. This is a strange case, but not so strange if we examine the recent history of the shadow government. The US has armed its future enemies many times. But here the enemy seems to be an enemy if in Iraq, but less so if it is fighting in Syria against the Assad regime. Personally, I believe, but can't prove, that ISIS is a creation of the shadow government, probably with the help of the Zionist wing of the shadow government in particular. But I don't know that.

The point is we are given a cartoon version of reality. Our friends are our friends, and we have enemies. But the truth is our friends are often our enemies, and even within our borders, it is hard to discern which side the players are on. Think of the movie the "Manchurian Candidate." In the movie, the most patriotic ones outwardly, happen to be working with the enemy - but this is to accomplish their own goals and then likely turn on their enemy/allies. I know. It is all so confusing.

A person might believe they are not important enough for the state to take interest in what they do. I'm not convinced of that. Hopefully, I haven't written anything that makes me too interesting.

Good night and good luck.
