What is behind the push to deceive the public (including FReepers) into falsely believing, "It's no use...it's never going to get any better!" or, "Even if President Trump exposes the crimes of the swamp, nothing will happen...."?

"Yuri Bezmenov, Soviet defector and KGB operative described the purpose of demoralization:

"A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures; even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him [a] concentration camp, he will refuse to believe it, until he [receives] a kick in his fat-bottom.

When a military boot crashes his balls then he will understand. But not before that. That's the [tragedy] of the situation of demoralization." ~ Oratam

Without the constant doses of DOOM! NOTHING IS HAPPENING!, I do believe FReepers would have organized against the fake Covid-19 lockdown and other unacceptable infringements on our rights. But so MANY on FR are dedicated to spreading defeatism. *smh*

 

The Deep State MSM is pushing fatalism so hard because it wants the public to become demoralized and paralyzed.

Who? Levant?

I knew him when he and I worked in D.C.

He’s a realist. He’s basically saying “I don’t have time for Quanon. I have lawsuits to file and legal bills to pay and I need help with that.”

He’s kind of like the Judicial Watch of Canada.

Excellent. I’m going to copy and save. I see a comment on the thread about “realism”. That instantly brings to mind Screwtape’s comments about how devils in hell are all about “realism”. I have the book behind me but no time to find exact quote. Lemme look online....Nope, can’t find it.

I respond to portions of the transcript below:
 
about Q Anon
01:58
 I know people who follow the
02:01
Q Anon theory and I like a lot of
02:06
those people, but I see what's happening
02:08
to them they're so desperate for some
02:11
miraculous
02:13
almost supernatural solution that
02:15
they're willing to believe in wisps and
02:17
vapors

Researching content across the Internet the MSM and deep staters work to hide, working unpaid for 3 years to shake the demoralized awake with evidence, running for office to put evidence in motion,  reading and sharing  documented threats with others on FR/Twitter/Facebook, trusting evidence and as a result collaborating to gather at protests the Richmond Virginia 2nd Ammendment rights protest: wisps and vapors could not support these actions.
 
Wisp and vapors do not have the power to trigger our repeated phone lobbying to call congress critters; get out the vote efforts in real life; signing and distributing recall petitions; spreading recall information re our traitors, sharing resistance content re Covid-19, starting websites and Youtube channels, battling with research and collaborations to convince the public that the Covid-19 farce is not real, learning html and graphics programs to create memes to counteract the CIA controlled MSM narratives and elude Twitter censorship algorithms.
 
If all Q Anon was, was hopium and vapors - none of this could have happened. The research Q Anon conduct gives us confidence and motivation to do all these things. Those who support the Q Anon movement are usually FAR more motivated than others encountered on the Internet. Others have lost hope - we haven't.
 
I'm not mad at those people I
02:21
don't hate those people
02:23
I just think look what you're doing to
02:25
yourself you're so desperate for a
02:27
solution you're believing in figments
02:30
how about come back with the rest of us
02:33
and just work hard to fix it join a
02:36
political institution join a political
02:37
party run
 
Who said Q Anon people do not belong to political parties, poltical institutions, or run for office?  Does he think Q Anon supporters don't participate in Go Pro and other efforts to get out the vote - as motivated as they are? We think more is at stake compared with those who think Q Anon is just wisps and vapors. We believe the Deep State has plans in place to cull the population world-wide and Hillary was supposed to be the last president before we lost our sovereignty and freedome. I don't perceive that kind of motivation in other groups with whom I interact.
 
70% of political institutions were corrupt when Trump took office and those which are created are quickly infiltrated because the Deep State doesn't WANT competition. But people in Q Anon do belong to political institutions to make things better, while the entire movement is independently researching for themselves and therefore cannot be "steered" by infiltrators.
 
run for office start a website
02:40

There are people running for office who support the Q Anon movement. The Deep State MSM is portraying them as crazy and dangerous - but they are doing it.
 
There are people creating websites. They also create Youtube Channels, Facebook pages. Some don't use the words Q Anon in order to escape censorship and shadow banning - but others DO.
 
There are books being written about the coup.  They are flooding Twitter alternatives like Parler. I don't see equal effort on the part of those this man seems to respect. These website/twitter/books etc. form a non traditional political group resisting the Deep State. Why doesn't this man realize this?
 
call in to a radio talk show just talk
02:43
to people
 
There are Q Anon movement peeps talking and calling in. They are portrayed as crazy and dangerous but they still do it.
 
like it's a lot more hard work
02:45
to work to fix it
02:46
baby steps small increments
 
Steps have to be larger than baby steps because Trump will leave office in 4 years and I don't know of other conservatives who want to go through what he went through. China will not wait that long. The U.N.'s capacity to topple the U.S. is weakening so they will not be taking baby steps - they have to make their move soon. Our enemies are moving in leaps and bounds. President Trump is too.
 
hoping for
02:53
some cryptic miracle is a kind of
02:57
placebo and maybe even a self-deception
 
Cryptic miracle? Organizing resistance to the coup outside the mainstream media is "hoping for a cryptic miracle"? Does he not know patriots establishing centralized communication is key to pulling apart the entire deep state? Has he figured out why President Trump uses Twitter yet? Did he notice the massive turnout at the pivotal Richmond Virginia protests wherein the Deep State moved to strip Americans of weapons?
 
This speaker's entire premise pretends that the real issue at stake doesn't exist. The truth is the public still believes in corrupt systems, is demoralized as a result, and is being subjected to Project Mockingbird and psyops techniques via the MSM - so many think we're losing they just sneer, "Wake me if anything happens" when presented with signs of progress.  

The Q Anon movement detoured around all the Deep State snares to organize and inform. I can't see the point in reading more if his "stuff" so I'll stop here.

Thank you for that. Maybe should be copied onto the Q thread, maybe some of it as an addition to the info on each new thread.

Levant is bringing traditional advice to a non-traditional information war. He actually doen't realize we're in the middle of the battlefield of an information war.

Thank you !! We greatly appreciate it! You had to stand in the gap to protect our republic. Our elected politicians have failed to protect the businesses and citizens of Oregon from lawless criminals. Our city is being attacked and our history destroyed.

He would have been better served describing how our world has devolved to instant gratification.
Demoralization is what happens when instant gratification doesn't happen.

I want it and I want it now!
Bummer! I didn't get it. I'm so demoralized.

Just one more instance of the cart before the horse.

It makes me think of WWII. All those people gathering around the radio, waiting for news from the war. Hearing of battles and lives lost, set backs and ships sunk. While some must have despaired - I feel like many came through with more gumption than I see today. “Setbacks? WE’RE DOOOOOOOOOMED!”
Frustrating delays (FISA/RUSSIA HOAX) have GOT to be more tolerable than hearing of thousands lives lost in devastating losses on land, at sea, and in the air.

Perhaps they WERE the “greatest generation” when it came to fortitude.

Today's equivalent is the Wu-flu and current events while gathering around the TV/Internet instead of the radio.

State openings/closings, mask mandates, daily death counts, new cases, some Black Lives Matter and some don't, Antifa and BLM are actually Marxists, another riot, more looting, more arson, pedos getting busted, gang bangers getting arrested, rioters getting arrested, black on black crime increasing, defund/refund the police, etc.

What exciting times we live in! LOL
yeah, yeah, I know. I'm a freak.
