Manufacturing Consensus - Part II

It is hard to ignore the Janay/Ray Rice drama since it so vividly demonstrates how the fascist state manufactures consensus to serve the power goals of the ruling elite.  For the less politically savvy, the use of "weapons of mass destruction" is the most infamous and successful example of a manufactured consensus.


First, when I initially saw the ubiquitous videos, I was surprised to see Janay hit Ray Rice and that no one in the media mentioned it.  I was beginning to believe I was hallucinating; after all, I am suppose to be crazy!  But then on Thursday night(9/11), the Baltimore Ravens played a game and women showed up wearing Ray Rice's number 27.  When interviewed, the women repeated what Janay Rice had said in a public statement.  But wait, the "EXPERTS" had declared that what Janay Rice had said was typical of a women who were a victim of domestic violence.   Janay Rice didn't know what she was saying.  Now how could these other women believe the same thing? 


And finally, a women commented that Janay had hit Ray Rice, and that if a women hits a man, she just might expect to be hit back.  Whoa!  How politically incorrect can a person be?!   I wasn't hallucinating, other people saw it too.  And then, the media slowly acknowledged that Janay Rice had stated in her initial interview with NFL commissioner Rodger Goodell that she had hit Ray.  The media had known all along, but didn't report it.


The interesting thing about the on-the-street interviews of the women going to the football game is a TV women reporter's response to what the women said.   Her comment was that she wouldn't comment on the above because "SHE DIDN'T WANT TO DIVIDE WOMEN".   In other words to her, this was a woman versus men issue and it should be used to grab power and use the fascist state to give women more power over men's lives.  Women are not suppose to think for themselves.  They are to parrot the fascist line and gain power.  Nothing else matters.


Now I don't know how all of this mess is going to work out, but it does show how events are manipulated and media portrayed to create the "perfect" fascist state.  Maybe Ray Rice really does beat his wife - I don't know, but I do know that feminists and the fascist state see this incident as a way to transfer power and consolidate the fascist's state control over peoples lives to benefit of the ruling elite. They manufacture consensus.


It's all about MONEY/POWER.  I once saw a video of the late General Norman Schwarzkopf shortly after the first invasion of IRAQ in 1991.  Gen. Schwarzkopf also had just received five million dollars for his memoirs about the invasion.  Somehow, during the interview, Nazi Germany came up and the interviewer asked how intelligent, educated German Generals could have been so supportive the evil of Hitler.  Gen. Schwarzkopf looked at the interviewer as if to say "how can you be so stupid"?  He then laughed and said "They did it for the MONEY!"  This was a man who had received five million dollars for leading a massacre of Iraq - and we all know how that has turned out.


The truth is there if you know what to look for.
In my next post I will demonstrate how the fascist state uses domestic violence for political ends.
