News and Current Events

What! Two posts in 2 days? What in the world is going on here? Seems the planets have lined up as they boogied across the sky and I actually had a window to share on Hive. Not dumb enough to let such an opportunity pass by, So I'm taking this moment and diving right on in.

But what to write about? From the slap heard round the world, to the hostilities overseas, there's always something going on. Luckily, I've built up a diverse library of news sources so that I minimize the impact that the corporate press has in trying to influence what I think. Its interesting to see the same news story from different perspectives, and really points out how certain stories are slanted and spun in order to achieve a desired effect.

An "Anti-war Demonstrator" Here in America, might be referred to as a "Peace Activist" in Europe. Which one would you rather be called? I learned the art of framing from some old guys when I worked part-time at a newspaper. They showed me how what should have been a neutral news report could be twisted and molded to shape the mind of the reader. Even the photographs chosen were part of the grand game of subliminal deception, in the dark arts of yellow journalism.

At this point in my life I'm on the lookout for such mental land mines designed to favor one viewpoint over another. Like in the doc Leaving Neverland, if I start seeing only one side of an issue covered, I start looking for opposing views. I've also cast my news net wide, and thanks to the internet, we have a plethora of data available from all around the world.

Plane crash in Botswana? I can let the "paper of record" the NYTimes tell me, or source an on the ground report live from the scene. I really think it will benefit us all to become more discerning and aware about being spoon-fed an opinion that we absorb as our own. Just give me the facts, Jack, I don't some news model nudging me to think one way or another. We're all wise enough to figure things out on our own.

The operators doing V2K with remote neural monitoring want me to believe this lady @battleaxe is an operator. She is involved in the same discord groups around @fyrstikken and friends. Her discord is Battleaxe#1003. Shes in some groups with seemingly detached characters that dont even acknowledge the others in the group, looking oddly staged. She starts projects and does nothing with it or the delegations after its used to sway people. Like @steempowertwins does<------fake along with her @teamgood <------fake. No substance in her comments and has a following that adores her for what? Life coach she is not nor is she insightful with any meaningful skills to follow. Ruler of pixie dust maybe? I would like for someone to show me but probably wont out fear maybe? @fyrstikken groups around him down voted me into censored and not viewable on my accounts as soon I told what they were doing.
I cant prove @battleaxe is the one directly doing the V2K and RNM. Doing it requires more than one person at the least. It cant be done alone. She cant prove she is not one of the ones doing V2K because she cant and could care less. I guarantee she knows this is going around and still wont prove it because she cant. Many of us here can prove what they have been doing to survive the past 5 years. What does she live off of? It definitely isnt in public view here.

I was drugged in my home covertly, it ended badly. They have been trying to kill me using RNM with applied V2K mental games while revealing as many accessories to the crime as they can. I bet nobody does anything at all. Ask @battleaxe to prove it. I bet she wont. Pretty serious accusations to just blow off and leave the crypto community hanging in fear of this danger.

They want me to believe the V2K and RNM in me is being broadcast from her location. And what the fuck is "HOMELAND SECURITY" doing about this shit? I think stumbling over their own dicks maybe? Just like they did and are doing with the Havana Syndrome. They should start by looking at the communications between the top witnesses of Hive and the connection to @fyrstikken groups. Google his fucking name and see where his other interests lie around at least once maybe? The connections between @fyrstikken groups and all the exchanges built for Hive? Bet that would reveal some crazy ball less nutty shit. Homeland security should start preparing for their own incarcerations seeing how sloppy this was done. Patriot act my ass. Think we are really fools? Bad position your not getting out of. Dont be last to blow the whistle. Who will protect you?

People in and around @fyrstikkens groups are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 long torturing years and counting. That is a long time to wait for someone to die.

What would you say while having a gun pointed at your head from an undisclosed location? Have people find it? My hands are tied while they play like children with a gun to my head. Its a terrorist act on American soil while some yawn and say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and why nothing is being done. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control that have ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers prevented from telling the truth from being treated as criminals? Not to mention civilians we let our leaders treat the same way. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism-terrorism

I worked on the news myself and had first-hand experience of this twisting and doctoring of news. Interestingly, I also realized that this manipulation is always tinted by the personal biases of the writers and editors, meaning that it's polluted by their prejudice and ignorance, often even more so than by any deliberate intent to sway public opinion.

Ultimately, the fact is that we, as readers, need to show some initiative, doubt the information we're consuming and look for other sources as you say. It can even be a fun to factcheck the news!

Working at that newspaper was eye-opening for me. It all began when they published a photo of a politician with his eyes squinted closed while his mouth was hanging open. I asked why they didn't select a better picture, and they told me it was done to undermine the point he was making.

The effect was intended to be subliminal on the part of the reader, along with burying his main point halfway down the article, while always ending the story with the slant they preferred. I saw it day after day, week after week, and they'd always break down which slant and spin they were going for. I've never looked at "the news" in the same way ever since.

I was blessed to start working on that at the same time as I began my process of self-awareness. At some point I started registering the effects that these decisions were having on my psyche and my emotions, and I began to see journalism as just another form of storytelling, fictions spun through the clever use of factual information about the world's process. News outlets aren't non-profit, they're all businesses, and their editorial lines are their product. I stopped following the news for years but recently resumed my perusing, and I realized that my perspective's changed. Even the manipulative intent reveals a layer of reality, and even the most obscene liar unequivocally has to deal with the truth at some level. So I just keep the facts that matter to me and filter out as much noise as I can, a constant process of revision, fascinating.
