Offworld Stage Reporting

The filter of World Stage Media does not have to be your primary frame of reference. The filtered minds of the hyper-mediated do not have to gatekeep your reality.

The Offworld Stage Reporter takes the “MSM minus” approach to interpreting the presented facts. This means subtracting the unverifiable aspects, the conjecture, and the hearsay. Every observer from this perspective is a reporter. 

The Offworld Stage approach to media deconstruction is a combination of journalism, reporting, and narrative analysis.

The Offworld Stage Reporter Must:

• Shift the burden of proof to those propagating the extraordinary claims.

• Reject the expectation that we automatically believe in every atrocity or threat scenario. Question their claims, especially when they involve shocking claims and body counts.

• Refuse to treat hearsay or the visual equivalent, see-say, as evidence.

• Re-examine past media claims, especially when these reinforce a contemporary psyop narrative. No news stories are sacrosanct or immune to good-faith scrutiny and skeptical investigation.

Who or what is the final arbiter of truth when it comes to what you accept, a media outlet, the consensus, a specific pundit, or is it your critical thinking faculties? 

• Stepping off the World Stage is to remove its filter and replace it with your own logical framework that operates within a philosophical understanding of what media is.

• It can be likened to exiting a relationship with a liar. Filtering one's experiences through another's distorted version of events places one into an augmented reality and one's worldview is slightly altered.

• This splinter reality is, in a microcosm, what the mass mind entered into with the filtration of media and religion.

Focal Point

How does one avoid the trap of ignorance without having to pay attention to the overwhelming flood of conflicting narratives?

If you’re not interested in the daily deluge of infotainment drama, here is how you avoid the traps of accepting the default consensus view on everything without being plugged in:

Look for the motives behind the stories. We ask what happened, not who did it, because the “it” has to be established as a factual event. 

• Asking the question “Did it happen at all?” is a good starting point. 

• Are the questionable elements Fakeable?

To assume the premise established by the initial reporting is to build on a foundation of hearsay. The initial skepticism will save you the trouble of navigating the labyrinth of mainstream rabbit trails.

Traditional conspiracy theorists tend to believe the mainstream is lying about the events reported, but they don't dispute that the events happened or that people died. 

• Conspiracy Theorists ask, "Who is really responsible?"

• Autohoaxers ask, “Did it even happen?”

The problem with the first question is it assumes the media is covering something up rather than making it up. 

Despite the alarming number of shootings and terrorist attacks with the same hallmarks of fakery, many Conspiracy Theorists continue to give the mainstream media the benefit of the doubt. 

They imagine it must be true until proven false.  

However, despite years of hoax-shaming from Conspiracy Theorists, it turned out the Autohoaxers were right one hundred percent of the time. They realized that "fake news" went far beyond ideological bias and into simulated news events presented as real. The truth is, the propaganda is more sophisticated and the illusion deeper than the most paranoid conspiracy conjecture from popular conspiracy theorists. Many still refuse to call a hoax a hoax because it undermines years of commentary in which they had it wrong.

Not paying attention is not an option but so too, we must neither merely pay attention to the opposition of the mainstream.  We can be our primary source. This is not a license to subjectivism but an insistence upon not accepting the subjective narratives of others as objective fact.

The autobelievers, those who blindly accept what they are told by the mainstream media, are religious fundamentalists. Just as religious fundamentalism becomes volatile and dangerous, so too does the unthinking and blind acceptance of government propaganda make the true believers dangerous and extreme. They are dangerous simply by their influence. Autobelievers largely outnumber autohoaxers.  

Why does it matter that the multitudes are overly propagandized? Simple. People power.

George Carlin — 'Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.'

There is power in significant numbers of true believers who decide their belief ought to be universalized. These hoaxed events are used to advance gun control, suppress free expression, and attack independent reporting.  

The immersive illusions created by the monolithic media constitute a war on perception.

Choosing not to perceive deliberately puts one in as blind a spot as the blind faith believers. We're almost entirely blinded by screens now. The World Stage isn't perfect yet, so we have a window of opportunity before all the glitches and errors have been patched up.

William Blake----” If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.”
