“There is reality(whatever you believe it is), and there is ‘reality,’ which dictates how our societies function. ‘Reality’ is constructed(i.e. simulated), collectively, according to the ideology of whatever system controls society.” C.J. Hopkins, from the Covidian Cult(Part III) It may sound cliched, but it feels like it has been much longer than a week and…

“All our knowledge begins with senses, proceeds then to the understanding, and ends with reason. There is nothing higher than reason.” -Immanuel Kant Well, we managed to reason our way through another week chocked full of the insanity du jour. Give yourself a pat on the back if you made it to this side with…

The interesting thing – to me – about doing a regular blog like this is how events can appear so radically different from one day to the next. Even when the subject matter remains the same. It’s been a crazy week already… let’s get to it. Here a Jab, There a Jab, Everywhere a Jabby-Jab…

Greetings and salutations from the belly of the beast; also known as Washington D.C. – for however much longer it stands. Which, judging by the actions of the current regime, is a finite number due to expire soon. For this reason and several others, manufacturingreality.org will be relocating to a new undisclosed location in the…

“That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.” -Aldous Huxley Fair warning: there is no clear narrative running through today’s links; other than what regularly stands in opposition to the presentation of the corporate media. With that in mind – let’s…

[EDITOR’S NOTE (2:47pm): I totally spaced on this before publishing: massive thanks to Adam M. and Amiko for their generous donations at the end of last week. Your support is what makes this all possible.] You know that joke I keep making about what happens when I take a couple days off from the blog……

The thing that I find most interesting about the corporate media narrative is you are never quite certain what perversion they are going to justify next. This week it was the senseless slaughter of women and children in a country halfway around the world. The more things change, I guess. Anyway, it’s been a long…

“Only the dead have seen the end of war.” -George Santayana Indeed it is. Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s get to it. All the World is Staged The corporate media is desperate for us to believe that Afghanistan is a tragic failure, and it’s all your fault – just like climate change. While…

All the World is Up for Grabs, Apparently Imagine my surprise yesterday when I informed another member in the Media Monarchy Discord chat that the new GTW episode probably wouldn’t be available until mid-week, and then I spied a notification from my pod-catcher that it was – in all factuality – already available. So what…

Looks like we have a short post today. Most of the world appears hypnotized by the situation unfolding in Afghanistan. Why? Because otherwise they might be paying attention to the further erosion of personal liberties in alleged “free countries” in the Western world. It really doesn’t matter which shell the peanut is under. The only…
