Please add to these any ideas you have, it would be good to reach a nice even 20. 1. Freedom to hear different opinions. I find most of us underestimate the censorship in the news, it almost totally blocks dissent, and belittles divergent narratives. The reason is people trust the First Amendment to guarantee an open discussion space.
But the media is commercial and everyone in it from script writers to producers to anchormen are employees and must abide by the rules or be terminated. (attributed to) Mark Twain: “If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed.”
Elon Musk cares about the future of the US and appears to agree that the place to start is to have at least one social media site that isn't censored. As long as most of the US public continues to bark up the wrong tree the rich and powerful globalists can continue to make huge profits by going to war.
I think our social media is part of the issue, the "Alternative Facts" have gotten carried away, people now believe what they want to believe rather then the facts
Even with the establishment supplying the main narrative, somehow the public manages to improve on it a lot. Right now The Establishment/Deep State/NATO says our highest priority is conflict with China. The current proxy war with Russia they claim is the next lower priority, followed by wars with Iran (including Iraq), Syria, and I haven't seen the list but I'll guess Georgia and Belarus and a whole bunch of other small countries are on it.
It appears the minds behind what we are doing are, well, evil, but they think they have to reduce the planet's population a lot to save the Earth, so they think they are doing right, but I think the hive mind that is the human population is a lot wiser than they are.
One thing the media does is lie to us about what each other is thinking. It is still possible to access ourselves what the public is thinking. I posted a poll in Opinion Polls What do we want in 2024? Who do we want? And very significantly we don't seem to want all those wars: and those opinions are despite the heavily pro war media we have.
To me this is proof that the public are on average wiser than the government, and suggests that democracy would be a better form of government than being run by the corporations.
So that's tool 2 - use polls or other means to harness the collective intelligence of the population. That Donald Trump was popular is not as the elites would claim a bad thing, he didn't mess up anything like as badly as Joe Biden is.
And sometimes tell the public the truth about the outside world, so we have better informed opinions. Even just relying on recollections of the past the public are reaching better decisions than permanent Washington is making.
Joe Biden may be the bravest president the United States has ever had, the first to risk destruction of the country for what he believes is right - our right to ship as much in weapons to western and central Ukraine as we want knowing he risks starting a most likely global nuclear war.
A representative democracy attempts to elect representatives to carry out policy making in government. Does Biden have a mandate to escalate hostilities to the next level?
Most likely Biden is lying because his announcement of fear of nuclear war is timed to coincide with his son facing charges for lying on ATF form 4473: 'Hunter Biden was an illegal user of crack cocaine at the time, which makes him ineligible to legally purchase or possess a firearm. The punishment for the felony offense of lying on a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' (ATF) Form 4473 is up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.' Joe Biden is a strong supporter of gun control so it is expected Hunter will receive no mercy.
