pcr is certainly correct in this essay;

Dear Readers,

Truth is being dispelled from the Western World. Truth diminishes by the day. It is not only happening in America but also throughout America’s empire. In Great Britain it has become a criminal offense to protest Israel’s slaughter of Palestinians. In Germany it is a criminal offense to challenge Zionist history of the Second World War. In France if you are the owner of a social media site that permits free speech, you are detained, subject to investigation, and possibly indicted. In the United States if you challenge an official narrative you can be declared a domestic terrorist and have your passport and personal possessions confiscated.

Of course, extremely few Americans do challenge official narratives. Americans learn to live a safe life by accepting whatever the authorities say. Don’t rock the boat and get in trouble. Do as your peers do.

This well ingrained attitude is a recipe for tyranny, into which America is falling. When you can’t tell the truth without bringing trouble upon yourself, there must be a reason: truth is dangerous to the authorities, so truth is demonized as disinformation, false news, Russian disinformation, espionage, offensive, racist, domestic terrorism.

Little wonder that truth is disappearing from the Western World. It is certainly not welcome. The risk of saying it is growing.

No university will support the truth.

No foundation will support the truth.

No official media will support the truth.

No bar association, no medical association, no political party will support truth. Fewer and fewer courts will support the truth.

Truth is on the verge of extinction. It is being replaced by official narratives. These official narratives are bringing you tyranny.

If you don’t support those who are opposing tyranny, tyranny is what you will have. Tyranny is much closer than you think..........https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2024/09/23/dear-readers-tyranny-is-upon-us/
