THE TRUTH THAT SETS YOU FREE.
When you understand the controlling mechanisms behind what you see, the moment the shutters let the experience back in, a sense of calm envelops everything you are.
It was not long before they realized the most powerful tool of control was simply headlines.
Thrown at your doorstep by a spotty kid on a Chopper.
Headlines in bold print stir chemicals in the brain, attach themselves to new protein stacks, cement permanent memory of an accepted reality that never existed.
The sound and rhythm of crunching pointless cornflakes that held no value as livestock feed.
“More coffee, honey?”
“Mmm. I see they’re using chemical weapons in Cambodia again.”
Across the dining table, spoken words cemented the lie. The headline became memory. Memory became truth. Truth that never happened, solidified over breakfast, repeated at work, accepted by evening.
No war in Cambodia that morning.
Just ink on paper and chemicals in your brain building a world that served someone else’s agenda.
You lived in their construction. Called it news. Called it reality.
Never questioning why a spotty kid on a bike held more power over your mind than your own eyes ever could.
THE BULLSHIT YOU SWALLOWED
WITH YOUR CORN FLAKES
(America, 1980–1989 — a decade of headlines that built a world that wasn’t there)
1980
“Iran Executed the Hostages — Bodies Recovered”
AP wire, 28 Oct 1980
False. Panic spread before correction. Families collapsed on live TV. The emotional truth stuck — long after the retraction vanished.
1981
“Soviets Behind Air Florida Crash — Sabotage Confirmed”
The Washington Times, Jan 1982 (reported as “intelligence consensus” in Dec ’81 leaks)
False. NTSB: pilot error + ice. But for weeks, Reagan aides floated “foreign hand” to deflect scrutiny from airline deregulation.
1982
“Nicaraguan Sandinistas Massacre 1,200 Contras in Jungle Ambush”
Miami Herald, 17 June 1982
False. Contra “army” numbered ~300 total. Death toll: 7. But the number 1,200 entered Congress testimony — helped pass covert aid.
1983
“Soviet Nuclear Sub Collides with USS Nimitz — Radiological Leak”
UPI, repeated on CNN, 5 April 1983
False. No Soviet sub near Nimitz. Story originated from a Pentagon prank call. Yet DEFCON-3 rumors spread. Calm restored only after 36 hours of silence.
1984
“Cuba Deploying Medium-Range Missiles in Grenada”
New York Times, front page, 24 Oct 1983 (pre-invasion), echoed through 1984 hearings
False. Grenada had construction equipment — misidentified as missile erectors. Key justification for invasion. Later admitted by Pentagon: “inconclusive evidence.”
1985
“Libyan hit squad in US to assassinate Reagan — FBI confirms”
Los Angeles Times, 12 May 1985
False. No such plot. Based on coerced testimony from a jailed informant. Used to justify bombing Libya in ’86 — sold as “preemptive.”
1986
“Soviets Poisoning US Wheat Supply — Ergot Found in Midwest Silos”
Chicago Tribune, 3 Feb 1986
False. Ergot is a natural fungus — levels were normal. But the “Soviet bio-sabotage” theory trended for weeks. Grain futures plunged. Farmers panicked.
1987
“Iran-Contra Arms Ship Seized — 200 Tons of U.S. Missiles Headed to Tehran”
Newsweek, 13 April 1987 (cover: “The Smoking Gun Ship”)
False. The Iran was a decoy — no missiles aboard. Later revealed: staged by Oliver North’s team to control the narrative. Worked: public assumed guilt was proven.
1988
“USS Vincennes Shot Down Iranian Civilian Jet in Self-Defense — No Survivors Expected”
All major networks, 3 July 1988
Technically misleading. Yes, it was “self-defense” — but the jet was climbing, civilian-coded, and Vincennes had entered Iranian waters. The framing erased context — and 290 lives.
1989
“Panama’s Noriega Ordered Killing of American Schoolteacher — Motive: She Saw Drug Lab”
NBC Nightly News, 17 Dec 1989 — hours before invasion
False. Kathy Cabezas was killed in a robbery. No drug lab link. But the story was delivered on cue — turned public outrage into consent for Operation Just Cause.
