| Document:Narrative Managers In Overdrive After Death Of White Helmets Founder | blog post | 12 November 2019 | Caitlin Johnstone | There is an immense narrative management campaign dedicated to controlling what people think about what’s happening in Syria. Whoever controls the narrative controls the world. Official Narrative control comes before any other priority the empire might have: before resources, before land, before even war itself. It’s up to us to see through their lies and bring an end to the lie factory. |
