Was the March on Washington a psyop??
Discussion
The interpretation of it certainly was.
What do you mean?
I mean the fact it was labeled an "Insurrection". And that so many thought it was OK to send thousands of protesters to prison for years. And to get nearly half the nation on board with the idea that imprisoning political dissidents is anything other than dystopian.
And don't get me wrong, period. I think there were plenty of people who went way above protesting into things that did deserve trials.
But it seems to me that our legal system has begun to be used as a weapon against people we disagree with in the last decade of my life.
More of a controlled opposition kind of test - to see who's dumb enough to imagine that could be genuinely done without interference from within.
That’s kind of harsh. I don’t think it has anything to do with whether or not people are stupid for believing in the ideology… at face value there is nothing wrong with protesting for change and rallying behind a future where people get along.
… but MLK jr was known to have said he felt like he led his people (lambs) to slaughter before he was killed. I’m starting to believe they killed him, Medgar Evers, and Malcolm before they could realize how they were being used as pawns.
Idk… I was taught that integration was a net negative for the US however people couldn’t see it because nobody wants to side with bigots. I just think there’s more to everything now…
Agree to disagree.
Protesting like that is a poor way to make a change. Separating money and the state, on the other hand... You see my point.
I’m always happy to agree to disagree but I’m not sure where we disagree. I think opting out with bitcoin is the truest form of protest and taking away your tax dollars by relocating is a nice second.
But I’m not sure if the march on Washington was actually protesting or a social experiment of some sort. Idk…
That's what a controlled opposition does. It's an experiment imo. Who believes a group of people chat with each other on social media planning to storm in The Capitol and all this could fly under the radar?! Literally the whole city is a surveillance machine crawling with agents.
Interesting. I agree that something was off with the “insurrection” The March on Washington was the 1963 March for “freedom” where MLK gave the “I have a dream” speech.
Og, my bad. I thought you were talking about the 6 January thing.
No 😂 I remember watching that and knowing something crazy was going on but my OP was about the “March on Washington for Freedom…” in 1963. Where King gave the speech taught in EVERY us elementary school.
I’ve been doing some digging into the USAID stuff and came across this Voice of Freedom thing. It is an offset from this program started by Eleanor Roosevelt in the 40’s — mind you her husband was the most Socialist president the US has ever had, FDR. He single handedly expanded the gov for a depression the federal reserve needed.
They have this award that they give out and I noticed a lot of the early recipients were the “first African-American” something… people like Ralph Bunch, Marian Anderson, MLK Jr and Colin Powell have received it.
So it got me thinking about the march on Washington and the civil rights movement in general. My grandma always said she didn’t get caught up in any of that stuff and I used to think she was weak for not marching or protesting but now I’m thinking differently. Was it a psyop to force integration onto the US? Or was it a deliberate attempt to divide America by pushing Zionism or socialism onto the black population so we would forever be indebted to the Democratic Party? Or was it something more sinister?? King did lead his people to slaughter! He said it before the CIA/FBI took him out. Which is why it’s weird that his mother and brother were also killed suspiciously.
I’ve been side eyeing politicians who speak about “democracy” for a while but now I’m thinking “freedom” is in that category as well. Idk… I remember hearing that the Nobel Prize was awarded to people who did things that aid in the destruction of humanity but I didn’t give that any merit either but now Idk.
Unfortunately I have very little knowledge about MLK and that movement, so it wouldn't be fair to comment on it. As for democracy, I don't care much for it in its current form. Enforcing consensus by running a node is pretty much the only meaningful application of democracy today.
Oh that’s fair!
