Over the past ten years, a misunderstood, much-maligned political revolution has been gaining momentum across the United States and Europe. There is no central point of coordination. It is not ideologically driven. It amounts to similar developments occurring in dissimilar countries. Collectively, the conclusion reflects a decisive political shift in the west to populism.
In an October 11th article that appeared in The Hill, William Moloney wrote,
“Commonly called ‘Populism,’ it can be described as ‘Nationalism,’ or, in the view of some, ‘patriotism.’ Its fundamental tenet is the principle of sovereignty, the idea that the direction and best interests of independent nation-states should be determined by the democratically elected leaders of those countries and not by external doctrines or supra-national organizations led by unelected officials who are essentially unknown to and unaccountable to the people whose destinies they seek to influence.”
Is Populism a Dangerous Distraction?
Moloney warns of the threat that Populism poses to elites and their media allies worldwide. They see Populism as a menace. “Some regard populism as alarming, even dangerous,” Moloney explains.
Their apprehension is warranted. Globalists and their complicit friends in the corporate media refer to grassroots Populism as a threat to Democracy. They fear average citizens, AKA “we the people” having a say in taxation, regulation, and border control. Such power might not be welcomed by multi-national entities.
This argument was made by Joe Biden in the fall midterms. The MAGA movement was positioned as a threat to Democracy. Yet, when considering the lockdowns, vaccine and mask mandates, coupled with draconian energy policies, an argument can be made that Biden’s administration has been the most despotic in American history.
Through it all, the American public, and their European advocates, have finally commenced questioning globalists’ enlightened way.
Censorship – The Necessary Tool
Whitney Webb vividly elaborated in a speech given at the First Annual Children’s Health Defense Conference this past October.
“For years, the censorship of information that’s inconvenient to certain power actors, including the federal government and Big Pharma, has been steadily increasing as ‘information warfare’ has become an ever-present force in our lives,” Webb said. This was noted in Webb and Robert Malone’s Epoch Times Editorial that ran on Nov. 15.
The Biden administration’s war on domestic terror policy also makes it clear that the censorship, as described above, is part of a broad priority of the administration, which it defines as follows: “Enhancing faith in government and addressing, the extreme polarization fueled by disinformation often channeled through social media platforms, which can tear Americans apart and lead to violence.”
It amounts to fostering trust in government while simultaneously censoring any polarizing voices who distrust the government. This is a key policy goal behind the Biden Administrations’ domestic terrorism strategy.
A prime example is Merrick Garland’s heavy-handed rebuke of parents who questioned what their children were being taught in school. Although he gave the impression of bewilderment when questioned by Missouri Senator, Josh Hawley, it was obvious that Garland had no use for parents who made repeated calls to their schools.
Sounds eerily reminiscent of another government at a different time. A close friend who spent her first 25 years in the former Soviet Union, compared the Biden Administration to the USSR during Yuri Andropov’s tenure as General Secretary from 1982-84. Earlier, Andropov had instigated purges against citizens who were considered socially undesirable. In the Soviet Union, they were called counterrevolutionaries. In America, any citizen who questions the narrative is deemed a conspiracy theorist.
Populism – The Natural Counter to Globalism
In his October 11th article, Moloney described a growing preference for leadership that considered the political, economic, and cultural anxieties of working and middle-class Americans and Europeans who elected them.
“The political revolution that is populism is best seen as a direct reaction to an earlier economic revolution-globalism-which, despite the best intentions of its proponents, has over the past quarter-century greatly exacerbated the world’s problems of income inequality, class conflict, and political polarization.”
In essence, the rich have gotten richer, and the poor have gotten poorer. “Populism is a revolt of more numerous losers against less numerous winners.”
Perhaps the greatest example comes with the Green New Deal. When considering stakeholder capitalism and the huge sums of money being made as the result, it is easy to see why there is a war on the truth. Or replacing the truth with a narrative that benefits the privileged few.
More and more citizens throughout the world are walking up to the fact that they have been manipulated by the privileged few. In short, they have been stolen blind. A time for reckoning is drawing near.
Moloney highlights populism, “in the Academy Award-winning 1976 film, “Network,” Peter Finch portrayed a frustrated television anchorman who leans out his office window and shouts, ‘I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!’ That character could well be seen as a prototype for today’s populists.”
