The latest operative to mount the stage as a “trusted voice” is strong on image.

She has the markers we have been trained to admire: statuesque poise, gravelly voice, staccato Ted Talk delivery (did anyone say NLP?).

As the former boss of Wikipedia and the new head of National Public Radio in the United States, she has strong views on what you need to know.

In Katherine Maher's formulation, there is no truth. We each have "my truth" and we should not focus on the truth. We should focus "on the best of what we can know, right now."

"Seeking the truth, and seeking to convince others of the truth, might not be the right place to start."

In Maher's own words, her role is to manufacture consensus, or as professor Noam Chomsky put it, to manufacture consent.

"Our reverence for the truth might be a distraction that's getting in the way of finding common ground."

These statements sent the comedians Jimmy Dore and Kurz Metzger into such paroxysms they’re essential viewing. [1]

She is a handsome Millennial, the daughter of a banker who has spent her entire working life in the corporatist think tanks.

The leather jacket is a throwback to the Seventies: Suzi Quatro, Joan Jett, Debbie Harry. All she lacks is a boa constrictor to strangle the truth.

Katherine Maher has a message: censorship is glamorous, global and for the greater good. Don’t think; get down with authoritah.

Impossible feat

Katherine is lab grown: a career consisting of a round of appointments to top corporate, military, security, media, globalist and intergovernmental institutions that stretch credibility, given that she is barely out of her 30s.

The Council on Foreign Relations, Eurasia Group, HSBC, UNICEF (working on AIDS), the National Democratic Institute, World Bank (doing ICT), Access Now (cybersecurity), U.S. State Department and head of Wikimedia (Wikipedia).

It is not unusual in corporations to have influential families whose scions are treated to promotion and superior terms and conditions. I saw this myself in Reuters. But when a person is promoted across numerous institutions they are wafted by a not-so-hidden hand.

That’s no exaggeration. Remember Nina Jankowicz, another creation of NATO's information wars, though five years younger, who was the head of the Department of Homeland Security's Disinformation Governance Board and was groomed for essentially the same role, until Nina’s 99 balloons went up?

Maher’s prescription

Maher, as befits an alumnus of the World Economic Forum and the Atlantic Council (NATO's propaganda arm), lays out the formula to "regain trust."

The WEF's "The Great Narrative" conference in Dubai in Nov 2021 is the clue. These self-described elites are genuinely fearful that the people do not listen to them.

As Ngaire Woods told that forum:

“People don’t need to love their government but they need a government to ensure that other citizens will act in a decent way, so that they, too, can act in a decent way. They need government to be competent and fair and non-self-enriching.”

Without trust you get fear, and fearful people vote to break government.

“The good news is the elites across the world trust each other more and more, so we can come together and design and do beautiful things together. The bad news is that in every single country they were polling, the majority of people trusted their elites less.

See: Scripted Collapse Of Your Wealth - Bombshell report obscured by Reuters shows how middle class can be wiped out (Jan 31, 2022).

Many of these “elites,” terrified that no-one likes them, are bureaucrats who answer to globalist entities. Lurking deep in their psyche is the knowledge that they were not elected and have no mandate: perhaps they fear they may be lynched.

Since Covid, when the globalists shot their bolt, speaking in unison and imposing identical lockdowns and mandates, the very uniformity of their instruction has been their undoing.

That they magically adopted the same policies — and as Pfizer’s former chief scientific officer Michael Yeadon points out, made the same mistakes — beggars belief.

The public can compare the rising excess mortality, the extremity of government measures, the number of shots and the very words of Jacinda Ardern, Scott Morrison, Boris Johnson and Matt Hancock, and Justin Trudeau — and more crucially bureaucrats at all levels of government — and draw their own conclusions.

The challenge to the self-proclaimed elites is to prevent the people drawing conclusions.

The answer, as brazen as it is stupid, is to tell people to stop thinking.

In the words of Wharton business school: "How leaders can regain trust in untrusting times."

Maher has been pushed to the front of the stage to give the audience an answer.

Wikipedia’s beadle

Before continuing, consider the view of Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger, who says that the go-to online source has been ideologically corrupted, in particular by Western intelligence agencies.

This raises the possibility that former Wikipedia CEO Katherine Maher collaborated with U.S. intelligence.

She is now head of NPR. Sanger says that, if NPR were committed to truth, it would fire her "right away."

Katherine Maher is such an obvious globalist creation, and so in your face, that it is clear she is being marketed to younger people to get them on board with censorship and doublethink.

Orwell's version, you'll recall, was a formulation in which people are fed conflicting ideas as truth — each contradicting the other as well as observed reality. People were required to believe and repeat obvious contradictions in order "fit in" and gain advancement.
