It’s Getting Harder to Tell the Difference

Let me preface this article by saying I understand the readers all have different beliefs about what is real and what is not real in the Israel/Hamas conflict. Some believe no one has been killed and it is all fake. Some believe all of it is real. Others believe some of it is real and some is propaganda. While yet others, like me, believe some is real, some is propaganda, and all of it is a contrived effort to create a bigger war.
Essentially, I believe that both sides have Deep State components that are working together, and the “regular” people caught in the middle are acceptable collateral damage to the Cabal.
Few understand that the Israeli Government and MOSSAD (their CIA) actually helped to create Hamas back in the late 1980s to go up against the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization), who they viewed as their biggest threat at the time. I don’t know if Hamas eventually went rogue, if the MOSSAD and the Israeli Government still completely controls Hamas, or if Hamas is now independent of total MOSSAD control, but MOSSAD still has factions within Hamas that they control and use to create conflict.
Whatever the case, the vast majority of the people who are either 100% siding with Israel or who are 100% siding with Hamas in this recent conflict believe everything they are hearing in the media and social media about the situation is real, completely real, and they are unaware of the fact that Israel actually helped to create Hamas.
In a Harvard/Harris poll that was taken on October 18-19th, 11-12 days after the initial Hamas attacks on Israeli citizens, and 1-2 days after the alleged hospital bombing in Gaza, 2,116 Americans were asked questions about the conflict.
When asked, “In this conflict, do you side more with Israel or Hamas”, 48% polled in the 18-24 age group said they sided more with Hamas, while 5% in the 65+ group sided more with Hamas. That’s a big difference.
When asked, “Do you think the Hamas killing of 1,200 Israeli civilians in Israel can be justified by the grievances of Palestinians”? 51% in the 18-24 group thought it could be justified, while 9% in the 65+ believed it could be justified. Again, a very big difference between the two age groups.
When asked about the alleged hospital bombing in Gaza, “Do you think the explosion was caused by an Israeli airstrike or by a terrorist rocket that went off course”? 45% of the 18-24 group thought it was Israel, while 13% of the 65+ group believed it to be from Israel.
There are huge differences in what the younger group believed to be true at the time, and who they feel is in the right, in comparison to the older group.
Mind you, the hospital situation occurred 1-2 days before the poll was taken, but there is still a major difference in how each group perceived that it happened. One may recall, earlier in the day on October 17th, the media pushed the idea that Israel bombed the hospital in Gaza. They were all onboard that it was Israel and reported it as though it was a verified fact. Later in the evening, it was becoming clearer, or more likely that it was a Hamas rocket that went off course. The next morning, it became even clearer that it was in fact a Hamas rocket that hit a parking lot outside of the hospital. Both young and older groups had access to the same information, yet 3.5 times more of the younger people still believed Israel bombed the hospital when the poll was taken.
Was it because the younger group didn’t believe the new information that came out about the hospital bombing, or was it they were receiving bad information from the media and social media and didn’t even hear the new information? Who knows? Maybe it was a combination of the two. It seems odd though, because the younger more tech savvy people are supposed to be the ones that are more informed, right?
I should probably point out that all the other age groups polled were more in-line with the older group than the younger group mentioned. It’s like the 18-24 group was intentionally targeted through propaganda.
When was it that Obama made propaganda against Americans basically legal again by repealing the Smith-Mundt Act, which originally made propaganda against US Citizens illegal following WWII? This was done right after Obama’s re-election, and one might recall Trans bathrooms immediately became a part of everyone’s conversation.
The Smith-Mundt Act was put in place in 1948 because the government realized how effective propaganda can be. They saw how effectively propaganda was used during WWII; to this day, people still believe US Military created propaganda to be true. They feared in the hands of the “wrong” people, this tool could be used to mislead and control Americans at home.
Speaking of propaganda, many people believe in Evolution—that it takes millions of years for subtle changes to occur, and after the Smith-Mundt Act was repealed and America became “Transgender crazy”, Transgender and LGBTQ+ identifiers shot up.
A 2023 Gallup Poll found that 20.8% of Gen Z considers themselves LGBTQ+, as opposed to only 2.6% of Boomers. 2.1% of Gen Z identify as Trans, while 0.1% of Boomers do. We are to believe that these changes organically occurred at break-neck speeds, that evolution found a way to speed up the process from millions of years to a few generations. It’s like they always say, ‘trust the science’, but maybe there should be a caveat: ‘except for when it clearly goes against our narrative, then just ignore it.’
A Fatherless Society
Recently, I saw a statistic that 3% of Chinese families don’t have a father in their homes. 4% of Indian families (India) don’t have a father in their homes. 23% of American families don’t have a father in their homes. 6-7 times more American families don’t have a father in their home than in China or India.
Why do I bring this up? I believe for many young Americans; Barack Obama is a father figure.
I believe Obama is a CIA-created character, and I don’t think it’s that big of a stretch to believe he was at least partially created to be a father figure for young Americans who were desperately in need of one. He may not physically be in their homes, but he was in their homes every night on the television. He would never get drunk and hit their mom, or ignore them as he watches football, or miss their school event, or leave them for that matter. He was, in the eyes of many, the perfect dad—calm, cool and dare I say, caring.
If one considers the aforementioned polls and the age group of 18-24 that stands out from the other groups, these young Americans were 3-9 years old when Obama took office with the promise of making change. They were 11-17 when Obama left office. I think it is pretty apparent to everyone reading this that those are pretty formative years in one’s life. What one experiences during those years can change and mold the person one will come to be.
During Obama’s presidency, the media, social media, and children’s teachers glorified Obama for his character and the diplomatic way he ran the nation … the world for that matter. Let’s not forget the fact that his administration dropped 26,172 bombs on seven different nations in 2016 alone, but he was inspiring change, and that slogan was all that mattered. According to the Obama White House and media, Obama ran a scandal-free presidency, if you forget about all the drone strikes, Benghazi, the gun-running to Mexican Cartels, and “siccing” the IRS on Libertarians of course. I could easily add more, but I think everyone reading this gets the point.
If not for Obama’s presidency, we probably wouldn’t have men using women’s bathrooms, or children mutilating their own bodies because they believe they were born in the wrong body, or transvestite drag queens reading pornography to children in public libraries, or as much racial tension, or athletes taking a knee during the National Anthem. Actually, if Obama was never created by the CIA, what would we even be talking about today? How normal everything is? Imagine someone going into a coma in 2007 and waking up today: would they even recognize the world they now live in?
Obama said he was going to inspire change; I suppose he didn’t technically say it would be good change.
The Hitler Youth
The Hitler Youth’s origins can be dated back to 1922-1926, but its heyday was between 1936-1945. The purpose of the Hitler Youth was to indoctrinate German children into the Nazi Party and Nazi way of thinking, and for future reference, the total German population in 1936 was 69mm.
According to Wikipedia,
“By December 1936, Hitler Youth membership had reached over five million. That same month, membership became mandatory for Aryans under the Hitler Youth Law. This legal obligation was reaffirmed in March 1939 with the Youth Service Duty, which conscripted all German youths into the Hitler Youth—even if the parents objected. Parents who refused to allow their children to join were subject to investigation by the authorities. From then on, the vast majority of Germany’s teenagers belonged to the Hitler Youth. By 1940, it had eight million members.
Even before membership was made mandatory in 1939, German youth faced strong pressure to join. Students who held out were frequently assigned essays with titles such as “Why am I not in the Hitler Youth?” They were also the subject of frequent taunts from teachers and fellow students and could even be refused their diploma—which made it impossible to be admitted to university. A number of employers refused to offer apprenticeships to anyone who was not a member of the Hitler Youth. By 1936, the Hitler Youth had a monopoly on all youth sports facilities in Germany, effectively locking out non-members.
Hitler spoke of the regime’s ability to make Nazis out of these German youth, exclaiming in 1938: ‘These boys and girls enter our organizations with their ten years of age, and often for the first time get a little fresh air; after four years of the Young Folk, they go on to the Hitler Youth, where we have them for another four years … And even if they are still not complete National Socialists, they go to Labor Service and are smoothed out there for another six, seven months … And whatever class consciousness or social status might still be left … the Wehrmacht will take care of that.’”
Wow! After reading this, I’m astonished how similar the indoctrination into the Nazi Party is to what we, and especially the youth of America, have experienced the past decade since Obama made propaganda legal again. It sounds eerily similar not only to the Trans and LGBTQ+ push we are under, but also the Covid vaccines and mandates.
The youth of Germany didn’t have to join the Hitler Youth, but if they didn’t, they were mocked and ostracized, couldn’t play sports, couldn’t graduate from high school, go to college or get a job. One can easily replace ‘join the Hitler Youth’ with ‘take the jab’ in many US cities, states and school districts. One could also, to a lesser degree replace ‘join the Hitler Youth’ with ‘accept the Trans and LGBTQ+ narrative’.
In the case of my children in a blue state, when school resumed again after the Covid lockdowns, they were required to wear a mask at all times at school and socially distance. As crazy as it sounds, when they were attending online school, there were children in their online classes that wore masks. Alone in their room, they wore masks. It takes immeasurable abuse and trauma to get a child to wear a mask while at home alone in their room, attending online school. Some children continue to wear masks at school two years after masks are no longer required.
When people say the Covid mandates and the Trans, LGBTQ+, and woke policies in general are straight out of Nazi Germany, they aren’t exaggerating. What we are currently experiencing was used 80 to 90 years ago to create the Nazi Party. There is very little difference between the two.
The purpose of the Hitler Youth and the indoctrination that is happening to the youth of America today is to steal a generation away from its parents and grandparents. The Deep State, through Obama, understands that children are more easily molded than older adults. Children can be effectively shaped through propaganda, fear and fear of being ostracized. If children don’t have proper role models and parents to teach them, they can be made to believe almost anything, from being born in the wrong body to believing climate change will cause the world to become uninhabitable in a decade. Even with good parents and role models, children are still affected by the constant propaganda and indoctrination.
While there are many things to criticize Obama over, in my opinion, the most destructive element of his CIA-created existence is the damage he has intentionally done to the youth of America. Some of this damage can and is being fixed through young Americans hearing the truth, and that truth making more sense to them than the lies and propaganda they have been fed. But some of the damaged American youth will never recover from the damage done to them. For many, the propaganda has done permanent damage.
For the lost souls created, and the parents and grandparents of these young people, I sympathize. While my children have faith and an understanding of what is good, what is real and what is an attempt to kidnap their minds, they still suffer by living in a Bizzaro World. They are sojourners in their own country.
My children have to play along to a certain extent.
In science, they have to go along with the climate hoax or fail the tests. They have to go along with Big Pharma lies to pass their health class. They have to go along with the history propaganda to pass their history class. When their Liberal, social studies teacher tells the class that Trump is a racist and a fascist, and a climate and election-denier, my children have to remain quiet, as do the other children. Some are indoctrinated by the lies, and some just have to tolerate them.
The word ‘Nazi’ has a number of meanings to different people. To some people, it means someone who disagrees with them. Or someone who puts America first, ahead of other countries. Or someone who stands up for their Constitutional rights. Or someone who refuses to glorify another’s mental disorder. I view the word ‘Nazi’ as a fascist who forces their beliefs on others, and uses all available resources to get one’s forced compliance.
Whatever one’s definition of a ‘Nazi’, if we look at the actual Nazi’s—the Germans who fought in WWII—we can see how they were propagandized into becoming Nazis from their youth. If one is open-minded enough, they will also see how similar the propaganda during the Hitler Youth was to the Obama Youth.
During the time of the Hitler Youth, it took extreme manipulation of minds to create people who believed the Jews needed to be exterminated and the world must be conquered. But that same level of mind manipulation is required to turn a generation into a ‘woke’ generation. To believe men can menstruate, polar ice caps are melting, and mental illness should be celebrated.
During the time of the Nazis, not everyone was as onboard as Hitler himself, but they had to play along to survive. Today, not all young people believe they are a unicorn trapped in a human’s body, but they have to treat these people like they are brave and not in need of a padded cell.
The propaganda used on the Obama Youth has caused some young people to fall deeply into a state of psychosis. Those who avoid falling prey to the mental disorders are forced into a state of compliance. No one has walked away unaffected. No one is truly free to think or say what they believe without fear of repercussions.
Over the years, people have asked the question, ‘how did a whole nation of people accept the Nazi Party?’ If you are ‘woke’, voted for Biden, live in fear of climate change, got ‘jabbed’ to save your job or to go to school, or to eat at a restaurant or attend sporting events, if you drove alone in a car with a mask on or insisted that unvaccinated people be ‘round up’ and put away in FEMA camps … whether you believed all the propaganda, or just played along to make your life easier, you likely would have been a good little Nazi.
I’m sorry if this hurts anyone’s feelings, but it’s the truth. Also, the truth is the people who have refused to get vaccinated, who refuse to glorify mental disorders, refuse to abandon their faith, refuse to stop exposing the lies … they would likely have been taken out back and shot by a Nazi firing squad.
My behavior over the past few years would have got me and my family killed by the Nazis, as I’m sure is the case with many reading this. If I was faced with the dilemma of getting jabbed or having my family killed, I certainly would have taken the jab. If it was a matter of fighting for the Nazi party or my family being murdered, I would have certainly suited up and fought for the motherland. These were the realities the Germans faced.
In America the past several years, people have complied to remain comfortable. Americans have given into the woke policies with no threat of violence or death, just the need to fit in and be more comfortable. People have allowed their elections to be stolen and their God to be blasphemed and they’ve stayed quiet about it. It’s kind of hard to look down at the Germans for giving in when many today have given in without a true threat to themselves or their families—just a desire to be more comfortable.
In today’s post Covid lockdown world, some didn’t have to give up much to reject the tyrants, and they didn’t risk much by their non-compliance. Some gave up and risked much more. Others complied willingly, and couldn’t give up their God-given, Constitutional Rights fast enough.
In Nazi Germany, non-compliance meant death.
In Nazi Germany, the Star of David was painted on the homes of Jews so everyone would know who lived there. I saw just today that, in Paris, France, the Star of David is being painted on Jewish homes again.
Have we learned nothing from the evils of WWII?
I could easily make a case that the current world is worse, much worse than in the time of WWII. We’ve allowed God to be abandoned and blasphemed, just to fit in, with no threat of death. Americans have accepted their government shackles without putting up a fight, or even squirming around to make it slightly more difficult for them. In some cases, people are turning in their neighbors for exhibiting anti-government tendencies, or for going against the narrative, all of this without the threat of imprisonment or death.
Total mind manipulation. Willing compliance.
Where do we go from here?
First of all, we need to fix what is being done to the youth of America. We must put an end to what is being taught to them in public schools and universities. There must be a motivated effort to undo the damage that has already been done to the American youth. But I think it all starts with putting God back into America.
It really is as easy as that. If we do that, everything else will fall into place.
