Dishonest intellectuals: how experts push false agendas on a convincing public
The obvious centre of suspicion covers the Fauci and Hotez. Two huge names in the news. The saviours from the corona virus. Apparently the truth sayers. Yet only to find out the lies they amassed over the years. Continuing to appear on mainstream news to defend themselves. History speaks for itself. The data speaks for itself. They lied and now are trying to cover up their tracks. Yet it goes farther than that to the likes of Harris and Chomsky's dogmatic vaccination and dishonest agenda.
Was it so crazy that Fauci and Hotez lied? No not really. While people are still struggling to accept this fact, there is ironclad proof. How could those that provided us with directions to survive the virus be evil? Why are only right wingers disputing to them? To both answers its a right wing or Russian hoax. As was Hunter’s laptop. It is always someone else’s fault. People live along political biases. If their side is attacked they defend it at all costs. The magnitude of delusion is medically tormenting. My guy does it right. Never can he do wrong. That just empowers the other side to win. It cannot be. Trump is evil, there was no FBI elements and Cuomo saved the USA. All these can be true. The polarisation does not permit such all-inclusivity. Either the left is right or the right is. Most of the time both are wrong. Politicians are wrong and the people are right. Of course Fauci was hated by democrats under Trump and then beloved under Biden. Vaccines were prohibited under Trump and compelled under Biden. It is a political game. A simulation the polarised nation readily concedes.
Polarisation explains the selectivity but it does not explain the reflective atonement. Fear of the disillusioned. There is no way that the people were duped for years. There is just no way. The government lies. The inability to formally accept the collusion and deception befitting the elite class. The elected act outside the bounds of their elected territory. People cannot accept their fate. They cannot accept their mistake. They bought in Fauci’s wordplay. They acted rigorously against others, lost their jobs for nothing. A recent study came out abrogating any effect from masks. Fauci went straight to television to flatly debunk this unanimously valid approach with dubious jargon. Many people will look and still say Fauci is correct. The immense effort actualised for an illusionary purpose stalls the ability to accept this fortune. Fauci laughs as people continue to believe his lies. Accepting the jargon nonsense of vaccine after vaccine. A never-ending cycle of control. The mainstream media propped it him up, people were enamoured by the spectacle and now cannot rebel in fear of mistake.
The government is the biggest liar. Pathologically voiding the truth or spinning narratives to fit their agenda. The media in their corporate guise fail to denounce wrongdoing. Alongside their greedy friends, the elitist circle has long deceived the public. Yet there was a single prophet to push back. There was a group tasked to defend the people against governmental power. These prophets were philosophers. The philosopher or intellectual was the renowned thinker of the age who could stand up to the government. Such intellectuals include the likes of Hemingway, Sartre and MLK. Those respected for their voices. Voices transcending the governmental onslaught. Individuals who were sought for their wisdom. Yet these intellectuals have turned their back on the people killing the prophet.
It is important to note that many do not look to intellectuals the same way sages were approached in the past. People watch the media and assume their voices are prophetic. While this is itself a failure of society, looking to talking head teleprompters for wisdom, the startling comeback of intellectuals curiously undermine their own standing. It is possible that the decline of intellectual prowess met the dubious caricature of philosophical nonsense. Media stole the show placing Hollywood as the bona fide genuine knowledgeable. Where did all the intellectuals go? Where did the prophet go? The prophet was killed along with God. His message diminished with the death of his lord. With no message, he could no longer chastise for wrongheaded thinking. The sage archaic in the secular age. Society has reached the Hegelian pinnacle there is no need for a thinker. Philosophy is dead and derided. A waste and abstract.
Philosophy became a study of the old. While thinkers impacted the philosophical world it is not at all clear how much effect they had on the public. Nietzsche’s ideas were used by the nazis but it is also possible they were using his books as verification for their ideas. Heidegger’s presence was incredible but his impact on the laymen was minimal. So was Sartre, Foucault and Zizek. In the philosophical world there is much to be consistent about. It also depends on their genre. Political philosophy does cross over. Many have read Rand’s objectivism and Machiavelli’s Prince. How many? Less now than in the past century. Philosophy may penetrate discourse or on the hand it may describe the reality. The question of chicken or egg is central to whether philosophers have any impact or are they experimental critics. Critics who compile their thoughts and pass them to the philosophically trained and interested. Their jargon is foreign. Messaging is abstract.
In the past centuries, the shift in continental philosophy to more societal concerns than the metaphysical layout of the medievals found its ally in Spinoza’s Ethics. Even Kant’s philosophy hinged on more abstract criteria with some concrete platitudes. Foucault’s anti-philosophical statements are an attempt to cease the pondering of the abstract and focus on historical trends. Dissecting social and diagnosing the political picture. Derrida’s linguistics though hounded in the philosophical world for its unscientific integration, does represent a social shift. While weaponised, there are factual elements that fit into the post-WWII thinking. Foucault and Derrida were reflecting societal infestation instead of postulating their own theories. Similar to Plato’s Republic, The core of honest of introspection was a deeper dive than the political satire. A triumphant gaze into social manifestation from the outside jogging down notes and forming overarching theories.
Relevance in the political science area dwindles. While some findings intriguing, their ideas inspirational may be less accepted. Even those who ascribe by their philosophy may only internalise the merits in an isolated study. Cute ideas but with no concrete implementation. Chomsky has been one of the most important intellectuals of the past century. His linguistic work is hailed solely in academia. While his political ideas have been recycled in the mainstream news. Viewers have latched onto his views but not everyone. Yet the question is if his views have been latched on as a thinker or as a news speaker. His books only read from his appearance on mainstream news. A reverence for an intellectual only recognised in the media outlets. He wasn’t a nobody but what was the extent of his following? Even a million is nowhere near the necessary prophetic status. He was simply a man with a vision. A vision that was accepted by others who watched him. Who could quote him for an expert opinion but only in bracketed sentences.
The newfound prophet emerged in democratic societies. The government and free market became new gods and corporate media the new prophet. In the seventies, Cronkite was the most trusted man in America. His words reigned supreme. A model of truth. Why would the news anchors lie. Providing the bitter truth periodically. The personal face to face experience. Speaking the truth the people. Telling the news as well as other current events. A prophet was no longer necessary. The intellectual landscape long gone. The media was the people’s defence system. The system so corruptible needed media to paint out the liars. Cronkite’s anti-war sentiments brought people’s grievances to the centre. It was not only a reflection of the people but it also marked a statement for elites to watch out. No longer would the media endorse this war. A man who spoke the truth of the deathly war and echoed the honest feelings of the citizenry. Trusted for having the people’s back. For travelling to Vietnam to showcase the truth.
Cronkite acted as a representative on behalf of the people. Journalism's purpose is to check on current events whether they be political or social. Trained in the prophetic ways to immerse oneself in the corruptible ethos and emerge victorious. A spy of sorts for the people. Media is the people’s voice for the governmental actions. A secondary defence against tyranny. Governmental officials are elected freely by the people. Yet this choice is trust. The officials once in the elite chair aren’t always stand up individuals. Media recaps their exploits and exposes the truth. Media reflects the domain between the government and the people. Between the peasants and the lords. The media is the middleman. They report on the governmental demands as well as the people’s response. Instead of direct forums, news outlets publish congressional positions on paper and on air. A flow of information that not only produces the information but does so laced with citizenry apologists. It isn’t simply the telling of ideas but the writer’s response to the governmental ideas. Reporting includes facts and opinions on those facts.
When the media medium is corrupted by corporate power, the information passed is falsified. Yet as long as the prophets aren’t ousted as false, they can continue to speak foolishly. Spewing lies to the public. The famed protectors are really just corporate servants. They are lepers leaching onto the ballsacks of cronies. Many times slaves without much flexibility. Whether one agrees with Tucker or not, he was only able to argue against the war, once he was independent. There is a certain level of uniformity and political sidelining that evidently harms the public’s commonality. Breaking free of the corporate hold enables liberated speech. To what extent, their careers and ideologies are not meshed is questionable. Some are actually in the dark, some are compelled to save their career and others are devilish. Placing a positive spin on their cruel deception for their own victory. Pushing Russiagate was to be president and out Trump. Pushing Iraq was to enhance defence contractors and combat terrorism. Insider trading is a spell of the execution. If more can be gained on the side why not add it to the list.
Corporate media does have its singularity in mind. They honestly believe what they say. They must convince themselves they are correct. The deception isn’t always intentional but an honest reflection of two-faced hypnosis. Yet given their authentic presentation and ideological lacing, people hold fast to their claims. The audience remaining strong despite the continuous lies and false hopes. Those who have jumped shift have found new podcast platforms. With revamped prophets. The Rogans, TYTs and Daily Wire fans. The amount of content proposed by both sides grows daily. Each side pandering to their audiences. While there is more nuance than the corporate ladder. That is not to say sponsors aren’t influencing podcasts. Especially those growing rapidly. It hasn’t reached the level of corporate levels but the influence is strong. Recently, an anti-establishment song was published and gained huge buzz. The artist was targeted by record labels. Yet knowing these labels would make demands and taint his entire fluid purpose, he rejected them. These conglomerates are not honest. The safe space of Youtube and Twitter is tainted with biases and deception. It is not necessarily in bad faith but the strings are placed on the polarised public.
With fame podcasters begin to standardise their propagandised content on loop. Yet even if they are not polarising, their monistic audience tends to hold sway to a way of thinking. Corporate media upset of their losing traction publish hit pieces on these growing bases. Jezebel attempts to kill Elijah. Sending a hoard of angry customers to hound him. The media puts up the wanted dead poster and allows their audience to go forth. The hit pieces on Rogan for promoting horse dewormer was shovelled with employees at Spotify attempting to rid him from the platform. His audience too strong. Corporate agendas are trying to remain the prophets and call others who disagree false prophets. Yet they are the real false prophets. Rich and robotic spewing nonsense to the public. Podcasters are not perfect, They are the new prophets but their prophetic canvas is divided along the asme political lines. While more populist is untrue their bases are loyal to the nuance. The symmetry between podcasts and mainstream is a sign of some bigger issue. News broken only hoping for clickbait. A good example is Breaking Points. While Saagar and Krystal do provide that non-mainstream approach. Krystal quite often presents her classy msm agenda. Comments rain in critiquing her bias.
Smaller lesser known start ups are not always the better option. The competitive spirit in these areas on platforms that seek donations from fans does parlay with genuine interaction. Yet the growth of the platform may turn it upside down. Growing disenchanted by the same talking points. Some intellectuals do have podcasts. Sam Harris is one of them. A man revered as the successor to Hitchens. Yet the pivotal moment when everyone looked to him for guidance he demanded all get the vaccine. In the utmost corniest establishment rhetoric. Attacking those who didn’t take the vaccine failing to even credibly debate the other side. Chomsky though without a podcast did the same thing. Pressured vaccine use and democratic agenda. Chomsky also had ties with Epstein as did Dershowitz among others. Never speaking out potentially either knowing or participating. Not even the intellectual heroes nor the corporate elected can be trusted. No apologies nor repentance has emerged from them. Those with strong liberal agendas lost much of their respect. Chomsky’s Manufacturing Consent is almost ironic in his own participation. He played a role in his own theory and executed it to perfection.
Trust is scattered. Sowell is an individual who has great respect but from a more capitalist framework. Many blacks and socialists do not like him for his comments. There is no intellectual that is seen as the guy/girl to look to for guidance. Harris may have had the opportunity but he screwed it up and Chomsky’s scandals are not helping him. While they may not care, they are only supporting the demise of a local hero. A sage for assistance. Those who pushed back against the vaccines like Weinstein on significant scientific grounds were hazed and censored. No one stood for their cause. Had Harris and Chomsky stood up, a different picture may be painted. It may not have done much but doing the opposite only made it worse. It only aligned them with the elites they constantly decry.
