The Old Man and a Sea of Propaganda

A READERĀ from Northern Ireland writes:

I am sending this Youtube link to you for your interest. I would like to know what you make of it.

It features an old soldier called Capt. Tom Moore and a singer called Michael Ball plus a “choir” of NHS (National Health Service) voices. Capt. Moore speaks the words of a song called “You’ll never walk alone” and Michael Ball sings the words and the crowd of NHS staff make their voices heard also.

I find the entire video sinister and chilling. I wonder if the powers-that-be are using the old man, although it is also possible that he loves the lime light and the attention he is receiving.

He came to public attention recently by walking 100 times with his walker outside his home to raise money for the NHS which is apparently entirely staffed by “heroes” and is also (apparently) near breaking point with Covid-19 admissions.

Young soldiers stood saluting Capt. Tom as he did his walk. People donated millions of pounds to the NHS. The media went wild! Now Capt. Tom is a pop star with a No. 1 record and the money is still pouring in for those NHS heroes.

The reality is that the NHS is a disgrace and has been for years. It is a socialist organisation and top heavy with management type pen-pushers who haven’t a clue how to run a hospital. There is a shortage of doctors and nurses but that is because there is not enough money to recruit sufficient medical and nursing staff as most of the money goes on management.

Waiting lists are common and will only get worse due to coronavirus. My husband has been waiting about four years for a knee replacement. My husband has also had serious accidents in the recent and distant past and we have witnessed incompetence, laziness and downright cruelty from these nursing and medical “heroes.”

The NHS is idolised by the general public in the UK but I think they are idolising a dream, something that doesn’t actually exist in reality. What exists in the NHS is bed shortages, staff shortages, waiting lists and unnecessary suffering for patients who are already in pain before entering a hospital and this is the situation that has prevailed for years and has nothing to do with Covid-19 although the NHS will be in an even worse state after covid-19 (if there is an “after”) because all the meagre resources the crumbling health service has is being directed to fight the “virus.” I think my husband will have a very very long wait for his knee replacement.

This is a brilliant propaganda piece.

Who doesn’t tear up at the sight of this truly adorable and touching old man? You just want to hug him. The soldiers and the nurses pluck at patriotic emotions. But the choice of the song, wow, and Michael Ball’s very affective singing are the real knockout drugs. The NHS is killing old people and there’s a pandemic of loneliness, but people understandably cry over this and lose their minds.

Capt. Tom is certainly being exploited and I don’t know enough about him to blame him. But I bet there are many, many more people than you think who do not idolize the NHS. And I wonder if he really raised that much money.

The Sexual Revolution is a form of political control. It exploits what is good to make people weak and compliant. The same is true of the what we might call the Sentimental Revolution. It uses healthy emotions of togetherness and love to control people. This is part of a long-term agenda for world control.

The British people face psychological warfare of a very high level of sophistication. Music can be a more effective weapon than bombs. And I mean that. Socialism and the world controllers need sentimentality like this to keep it all going.

People are so very lonely right now, and this is an emotional weapon, an emotional bombing campaign destroying so much that is true and beautiful.
