Welcome to Keith's night. Don't try to on anyone and the
libertarian Institute. This is an excerpt from the
Corbett report newsletter in November of twenty twenty titled
how to save the world. The most powerful weapon ever
invented is wait. Hold on, rather than answering
right away. Let me tell you a story instead
by the 1770s tensions between the American colonies and mother
England or at an all-time high the Stamp Act, the Townshend
Duties, the Boston Massacre. The Tea Act, the Tea Party
protests were sweeping the colonies and no one could deny
that American anger at King. George, the third and the
English Parliament was reaching a boiling point, but still even
as the shot heard round the world rang out in Lexington and
Concord, to Mark the beginning of what we now, call the
Revolutionary War few understood, that the American
colonies were engaged in a war for independence at all.
Even the Declaration of the causes and necessity of taking
up arms, sawed. Relieve the Empire from the
calamities of Civil War not to achieve independence from
England. Although the ranks of those
agitating for Independence were growing.
It was still a fringe idea. The average columnist in 1775
believe themselves to be loyal subjects of the British crown
seeking to secure the rights, afforded them as Englishmen.
So what happened? Common Sense happened, that's
what or more accurately. Common Sense happened Thomas.
Paine's political pamphlet. Common Sense was published on
January 9th, 1776 quickly, becoming one of the most
important political tracts in history.
Some even hold it to be the real founding document of the United
States, not the Declaration of Independence.
There are even those who claim pain himself was the author of
the Declaration of Independence, but that's another story.
It's difficult to overestimate the impact that common-sense had
in shaping the course of American history.
It sold 120,000 copies in the first three months alone,
equivalent to five percent of the colonies.
Total population of 2.5 million by the end of the year.
It had sold 500,000 copies or one pamphlet for every five men,
women and children in the colonies.
To put that in perspective, a book.
Today would have to sell 66 million copies in America, to
achieve the same status. And with those sales figures, it
would be the 13th. Best-selling book of all time
but it's important to note that pain did not achieve this.
Monumental success by dishing out dumbed-down mealy-mouthed
wishy-washy, platitudes or by regurgitating, the type of
common sense. That would have been held by
most of his readers. Know.
He did it by completely and utterly changing the narrative.
About the colonies, struggle against the crown.
In pains view, the colonists were not Grieved Englishmen
seeking redress from their King as many at the time, believed
they were a nation of Free People engaged in a war of
independence from a foreign ruler painted, not couch his
argument and fluffy rhetoric or condescending patter on the
contrary. He confronted his readers
head-on with his radical View. Men of passive tempers look
somewhat lightly over the offenses of Great Britain and
still hoping for the best, our app to call out.
Come come we shall be friends again for all this, but examine
the passions and feelings of mankind.
Bring the doctrine of reconciliation to the Touchstone
of Nature. And then tell me whether you can
hear after love honor and Faithfully serve the power that
hath carried fire and sword into your land.
If you cannot do all these, then you are only Yourselves and by
your delay, bringing ruin upon posterity, your future
connection with Britain, whom you can neither love nor honor
will be forced and unnatural and being formed, only on the plan
of present convenience will in a little time fall into a relapse
more wretched than the first. But if you say, you can still
pass the violations over then I asked hath your house been
burnt, half your property. Been destroyed before your face,
are your wife and children destitute of a bed to lie on or
bread to live on? Have you lost a parent or a
child by their hands? And yourself the ruined and
Ratchet Survivor. If you have not, then you are
not to judge those who have. But if you have, and can still
shake hands with the murderers, then you are Unworthy of the
name, husband, father friend, or lover, and whatever May Be your
rank or title in life. You have the heart of a coward
and the spirit of a sycophant incredibly by the mere force of
his words, pain, succeeded if he had picked up a gun and taken
some shots at some British soldiers.
He may have taken one or two out before he was subdued, but by
picking up his pen, he did something incalculably, more
effective. He roused an entire nation into
open Rebellion against the largest and most Fearsome
military and economic power on the planet.
Obviously. We do not live in the world of
1776, but it is worth reflecting on the story of common sense
because embedded within it is the answer to the question.
What is the most powerful weapon ever invented?
Have you figured it out yet? Story is the most powerful
weapon narrative ideas presented in such a way as to provoke
certain thoughts. Thoughts.
Or actions with a gun. You can kill a man with a bomb.
You can kill a family with a nuke.
You Can level a city, but with a story, you can control the
world. This is how billions of people
around the world have been locked up as prisoners, in their
own homes. This past year, not because
there is an inexhaustible supply of police Thug standing on every
street corner, ready to shoot, anyone who steps outside of
their home, but because a narrative has been constructed
such that the vast majority Do you want to stay home?
Give us a society. The right narrative, and they
will gladly lock themselves inside their own prison and hand
over the key. This is why billions around the
globe are prepared to roll up their sleeves for an
experimental unproven vaccine for a disease with a 99.9
percent survival rate. The masses have been given a
narrative whereby. This vaccine is going to deliver
them from a deadly plague. It doesn't matter.
What counter evidence is presented to them.
The ones who take the vaccine, are the Righteous Heroes of the
story and those who question the vaccines are the villains.
This is also why. As it pains me to point out over
and over again, in my propaganda, Watch series, the
powers that shouldn't be spend, so much time money and effort.
Urging the public, if the world could be rolled over simply by
posting armed guards on every street corner and listening
devices in every home. You better believe those who
seek to rule over, you would do that instead, but how could they
get armed guards to police their fellow citizens?
How could they get the snoops to listen in, on their neighbors?
Where would the enforcers come from?
The population? Needs to be told a compelling
story about why the rulers are rolling and why it is wrong to
resist their rule. If such.
A story is secure and their minds.
They will happily police themselves.
There is a flip side to this seemingly depressing in sight.
However, yes, people can be tricked into enslaving
themselves through propaganda and narrative manipulation to a
large extent that explains the situation.
We find ourselves in today, but the inverse is also true.
We can be freed by a narrative that helps us to break out of
our mental. Prison one Storyteller with a
compelling tale to tell can reframe our Collective reality
in an instant. And the World will change all at
once. Sadly.
It seems the powers that shouldn't be are much more aware
of this than we are. That is why the Dutch Army is
targeting, dissident voices in the Netherlands.
This is why the Canadian military declared that they were
going to start to Target the Canadian public in the
information War, but don't worry.
They totally scrapped, the plan. This is why the British army has
an entire cyber Brigade, dedicated to influencing public
Behavior online. Line as does the US military,
the Israelis, the Chinese and Russians and every other major
government in the world it is because the great reset errs and
New World Order agenda, Setters recognize the power of story and
they fear the rise of a powerful story.
Teller, they're afraid of dissenters coming along and
disrupting their carefully. Constructed narrative in the
days of yore. They would label those
subverting their narrative control.
A heretic and burn them. At the stake today, they label
them as agents of disinformation and seek to censor them out of
existence. But the fear that motivates
these responses are the same. Once again, the world is in
crisis and just as in 1776, there are precious few of us who
understand the true nature of the struggle that we are engaged
in. What we need is a story a way to
explain this struggle to the duped masses who have bought
into the false narratives unlike 1776.
However, it will not be a political pamphlet that ignites
the spark of understanding among The masses.
But someone will emerge with a story to tell a university
lecturer or an online blogger or Street activist or a crazed
person who emerges from the Wilderness and a beard and
sandals. To remind us that we are free
human beings and that we have all the power, not some small
Cadre of deranged Psychopaths who seek to rule over us.
Whoever it is that brings this message to the world and
whatever form that message takes.
It will appear as a revelation. And answer that's been sitting
there under our nose all along and when it arrives, it won't
require persuasion or cajoling to convince the public to act.
The story itself will compel the public into action.
I know these words will fall mostly on deaf ears.
One of the narratives that the narrative controllers have
implemented in US. Is that words are meaningless
and only the armed Heretics of some steroid Laden gun-toting
Rambo can save us from Bad guys about those who have really
studied history. Know better.
They understand that ideas and stories are the only things that
have ever changed the world. Where's Thomas Paine?
When you need him, thank you for watching.
