Great analysis of 'Captured Left', Cindy!!! Did you coin that phrase and the phrase 'Silenced Left vs Lockdown Left'? Those are keepers so please repeat them in the ongoing conversations. Please continue to keep this series of discussions and articles going beyond Part III indefinitely!
It is so vitally important that we rid ourselves of the strange alliance of tyrannical forces(fascism, communism, globalism) that have completely hijacked the "Democratic Party" and frankly, the "Western liberal leaders" worldwide (via Neoliberals, Globalists, pHARMa, etc). Obviously the Neocons have latched onto the USA "Democratic Party" since 2015 too, especially since they fully supported Hillary's run for President in 2016.
The American People are quickly coming around to the truth of "Captured Left". I personally realized that some Americans have known these truths for quite a while (via autism/vaccine groups against pHARMa for many years...long story). Evidently, the awareness spread exponentially by independent/international news during Covid19's draconian edicts in USA /Western Nations. A wide array of good Americans, including many Republicans & Libertarians who abhor both war and tyranny, are very aware today. Hopefully we can expose the hijacked "Democratic Party" to unwitting "Democrat" voters.
Perhaps this is the definitive time in history that George Washington had always hoped for all Americans, elections of, by and for WE THE PEOPLE with no political party affiliations whatsoever.
Cindy, This post was an excellent initiative. Along with many other ‘kindreds’, I’ve been banging on about the so-called left v right divide for some time now. Having evolved from the time of the demise of the ancien regime (French Revolution), it enjoys the rep as one of the oldest of ‘psyops’. The aim of which is of course to confuse, divide, the conquer the ‘deplorables’. Hard to think then of one that has been more effective and enduring in entrenching the power elites, though the “you’re just a conspiracy theorist” has also a very impressive pedigree.
In this the following anecdote is illuminating. I have a member of my immediate family who is a card-carrying, barricade manning Marxist, for whom any nuanced thinking about any of the issues facing us all—‘left’ or ‘right’—is anathema. He accused me once of being a “right-wing conspiracy theorist” after reading one of my articles. When I finished LMAO, I politely asked if he’d give me his blessing if I converted to being a “left-wing conspiracy theorist!” Needless to say, there was no reply.
And speaking of the French Revolution—as noted for which we have thank for the left v right thing—the following might be of interest (and hopefully some tongue in cheek amusement to readers and commenters herein.)
DRESSING TO THE LEFT versus DRESSING TO THE RIGHT*
LEFT V RIGHT—A Short History: The (unforeseen?) result of an unfortunate seating arrangement. In October 1789 the Paris mob walked to Versailles, stormed the Royal palace and dragged the King back to town with them. The Assembly had no choice but to follow. Louis was put in his gilded cage, the Tuileries Palace. The nearest building capable of seating several hundred elected representatives in the same room was the palace stables out in what are now the Tuileries Gardens. The need to board and exercise a large number of horses had imposed a particular sort of structure (on the original building). That shape in turn imposed a semi-circular seating plan on the carpenters brought in to do the emergency conversion.
It naturally followed then that those who hated each other the most sat as far away from each other as was possible i.e. to the extreme right and left of the podium. Thus it was the needs of (all the kings?) horses that helped create our idea of seemingly irreconcilable—and therefore ineradicable—political opposites. Had the architecture permitted this little-known, yet historically consequential, of semi-circles to complete itself, the revolutionaries and the reactionaries would’ve found themselves quite naturally sitting together, you know, occupying similar areas of real estate. 👈😱🤣😇
Which for those who haven’t noticed, is pretty much where we are about now.
*Ladies, For those unfamiliar with the phrase “to which side does Sir dress?”, you may have to let your fingers do the walking, if you’ll pardon the turn of phrase! Or ask your better? half!
**Re: the above. In the spirit of authentic political bipartisanship and having a bet each way, some slight editorial embellishment may—or may not—have been added to the mix! Either way, I will deny everything. GM
Thanks so much for making this series happen, Cindy!
Spot on!!!! Very similar to a Chris Hedges podcast with Vijay Prashad on how the hard right has taken over democratic institutions with no challenges.
My son and I look at each and I say I dont know what I am politically. We definitely need a new name.
Good luck
Thanks for your courage.
We are not alone
Keep doing your thing Cindy !!!!!
