Regarding Unconventional Weapons

I’m sure several objects come to mind when thinking about “weapons.” Guns, swords, knives, ballistic missiles, nuclear weapons, are but a few examples.

But there are other kinds of weapons, and these are often more effective than the ones that cause immediate physical damage. What if things like food, truth, and false information were weapons? More importantly, what if we thought of them as such?

Poetess Choklate Codeine said in her poem “Imagine More” that ‘truth is a weapon.’ She's right, and the enemies of humanity certainly believe this. This is evident in the way they behave online, going to great pains to censor information and demonize those who challenge their narratives as nuts and conspiracy theorists. Such things take a lot of energy and money. It wouldn’t be worth the effort if truth weren’t a weapon to shape the minds of the normies.

But this is not a new phenomenon. If you go back to Soviet Russia, you find a newspaper named PRAVDA. Translated as “truth” PRAVDA was anything but. Rather, PRAVDA put information out that it wanted the public to accept as truth.

Most countries have laws against certain kinds of speech. The first amendment of our constitution is the guarantee of free speech. This is no accident. Even at our country’s founding tyrants were trying to squash free thinkers and create a hivemind through which they could control the people.

I’m sure food also seems like an odd weapon, but consider this: RFK has spoken repeatedly about unhealthy food additives and dyes, but why were these things placed in our processed foods to begin with? Were they put there make us fat and weak, so we cannot challenge their tyranny with physical force?

Forget about additives for a minute and let’s focus on simple, pure, clean, food. Ukraine, despite being an extremely fertile country has suffered famines multiple times at the hands of tyrants. Before the HOLOMODOR there was a famine in Ukraine in the early 1920’s. This one, unlike the one that occurred in 1933, was not orchestrated by the communists. So, efforts were made to stop it, but even these occurred with reservations.

When American relief workers arrived with food for the effort, the Bolsheviks running Ukraine took it reluctantly. The Americans noticing their reluctance jokingly asked why, saying: “You act like we are giving the people weapons.”

The communists replied in all seriousness: “food IS a weapon.” This belief was clear a decade later when in 1933, the communists took and took from the Ukrainian farmers until there was literally nothing to eat. The death count from this event, called Holodomor, rivals the Holocaust, with an estimated ten million dead. However, the cultural fallout is even higher, as a unique nation of people were bought to their knees, and for a time lost their language, history and pride. The Soviets saw the Ukrainian people as a threat, and they starved them until they weren’t.

Now that you know the enemy’s unconventional weapons, identify your own, and do not hesitate to use them. Holy Week is a perfect time to do this. I will write more on this in the coming weeks.
