LOOK BACK IN ANGER
THE RETURN OF THE ANGRY YOUNG MAN
This is a post about the use of techniques pioneered by Edward Bernays to neutralise public anger at the chaos caused by liberal-globalist politicians.
A new generation of angry young men have begun to participate in the theatre of the absurd which has replaced normal life.
The British State, which rules over the most propagandised people of the world formerly known as free, has made a duty and a virtue of the voluntary extinction of public memory.
The hymn to mindlessness that is “Don’t Look Back in Anger” has been manufactured as a response to the terror attacks we now accept as a part of the New Normal.
Taken from a song written in the Britpop era of the 1990s, this line has been pushed to promote forgiving forgetfulness before the corpses of stabbed and detonated children are cold.
This is the story of “Controlled spontaneity” - how the Liberal-Global state is mandating mass mindlessness to pacify a public terrorised by its own politics of death and civilisational destruction.
THE BIRTH OF THE ANGRY YOUNG MAN
In 1956 the play Look Back in Anger was first staged in Britain. Written by John Osborne, it was the story of Jimmy Porter - who came to symbolise a new force in postwar Britain - the Angry Young Man.
Jimmy was young, and he was furious about the staid and suffocating society which locked him out because he was working class. The old order had no place for the angry young men, homeless in their home nations.
Neither does the new one.
Britain’s most celebrated theatre critic Kenneth Tynan loved Look Back in Anger.
To him, it contained
…all the qualities...one had despaired of ever seeing on the stage—the drift towards anarchy, the instinctive leftishness, the automatic rejection of "official" attitudes, the surrealist sense of humour, the casual promiscuity, the sense of lacking a crusade worth fighting for and, underlying all these, the determination that no one who dies shall go unmourned.
We now inhabit a world of “instinctive leftishness” which has drifted “towards anarchy” - largely through the automatic rejection of attitudes once official.
Casual promiscuity and the pointlessness of life are core values of the liberal-global order. Those working class men have now discovered a crusade worth fighting for. It is theirs.
It is their determination that no one who dies in this undeclared war “shall go unmourned”. This is what makes the young men of today’s Britain angry - and brings the wrath of the otherwise promiscuous state down upon them.
The liberal-global state is like a mother who has given herself to the night. She brings home strangers and fornicates with them, whilst her children lie neglected at the foot of the bed, lullabied by drunken shrieks.
Some of them get murdered.
FORGET IT
The lamentable return of moron idols Oasis to the news is inevitable as it is convenient to power.
The lyrically empty anthems of the 1990s are popular with a people adrift from their own heritage. This lifebelt of nostalgia is an anvil of the asinine, but it has a far darker dimension than singalong senselessness.
Entertainment is as dreary as the cycle of a washing machine. The same spin cycle churns the news, laundering reality into a scented presentation of the fresh and familiar.
It was Oasis’ derivative singalong “Don’t Look Back In Anger” which was manufactured as a neutralising response to public fury at the Manchester Arena terrorist bombings on 22nd May, 2017.
22 men, women and children died in that attack, leaving hundreds with life changing injuries.
Why would the state not want its people to be angry about people being killed at a pop concert?
Salman Abedi - the terrorist who killed those people - was not only known to police, but he, his brother and father fought in Libya on the side of the British State - and against Gadaffi.
He and his family were immigrants living in Manchester.
The bomber had travelled - in his school holidays - to Libya to fight with Islamist militias. His brother joined ISIS. His father also fought in Libya for radical islamists.
In 2011 Operation Odyssey Dawn was launched at the behest of then UK Prime Minister David Cameron, resulting in the murder of Gadaffi and the replacement of the most successful state in Africa with a murderous and heavily Islamised anarchy.
The Manchester bomber was on the side of the British State, and that of Hillary Clinton’s State Department, in fighting for the Islamists.
He had warned his classmates and a community worker of his intention to commit violent jihad in Britain. These people warned the British authorities, who did nothing to stop him.
On the day of the attack, a British security guard spotted the bomber looking nervous and suspicious, carrying a heavy backpack.
The security guard knew something was wrong. Why did he not stop Salman Abedi?
“I just had a bad feeling about him but did not have anything to justify that”, Kyle Lawler told a court in 2020,
I did not want people to think I am stereotyping him because of his race.
Nothing could be worse. Not even the detonation of a bomb in that backpack.
The label of “racist” leads to life-changing injury.
I was scared of being wrong and being branded a racist if I got it wrong and would have got into trouble.
With this injury to his reputation in mind, he did his duty. He wanted to “get it right”. According to Our Values, he did. And 22 people died.
It made me hesitant.
I wanted to get it right and not mess it up by over-reacting or judging someone by their race.
The fundamental lesson here is the ruin of instinct through indoctrination. The basic impulse to “approach or avoid” in the presence of danger is foundational to the survival of the simplest mammals.
It is overwritten by slogans, sung by crowds in denial of the causes of the atrocities which arrive as regular as the buses which pass them by, as with the beheading of Fusilier Lee Rigby, or the buses which detonate, as on July 7th 2005.
The songs you sing are supposed to mean one thing: forget.
They remind you: don’t be a racist. Look away from the dead and the trail of death that led them into the grave.
Look away from the crime scene which has replaced your civilisation. Do not name the criminals. Be a Good Person. Sing along.
REGIME CHANGE AT HOME AND ABROAD
The liberal state starts wars to export its system globally. This is called “globalism”.
These liberals started the war in Libya in which a family of terrorists were trained and radicalised to violence.
These liberals have brainwashed their own people into fearing the voodoo curse of “racist” more than death.
It is better that you die than be called a racist, says the Liberal-Global state which imports the people who kill you in your homeland.
A LIBERAL-GLOBAL OASIS
This is why the liberal-global state loves Oasis. This is why they love to tell you not to look back in anger.
Because if you look back, you will be very angry indeed.
How did this slogan come to obscure the justified outrage at government complicity in importing terrorism?
AN IMPROMPTU PERFORMANCE
At a public vigil for the dead of the bombing, a song “broke out” in the crowd.
Breathlessly reported as a message of hope against racist anger, which may lead dangerous minds to conclude the British State is complicit in killing its own people, the refrain of Oasis’ “Don’t Look Back In Anger” was reported to have spontaneously arisen from the mourning and visibly stunned crowd.
How did the mourners of the Manchester dead come to sing a hymn that told them immediately to forget what they were there to remember?
Rolling Stone reported,
Lydia Bernsmeier-Rullow began singing as she cradled a bouquet of flowers.
A few other members of the crowd joined her, tentatively at first, but by the time she got to the chorus of Oasis‘ hit, most of those present were singing along. After around a minute, someone in the crowd says: “C’mon, sing up!”
Most of the crowd seem bemused at best, some obviously disgusted. They did not “sing along”.
Lydia Bernsmeier-Rullow had no personal connection to any of the dead.
She “spontaneously” began singing the tune immediately after a brief interval of remembrance.
The bomber, the fact he was known beforehand to police, and that he could have been stopped but for the learned helplessness of anti-racism - all forgotten in a meaningless song.
Lydia Bernsmeier-Rullow is an actress who has worked with the BBC. A self-described “poet”, she spoke for the people of Manchester and said
We will just get on with it
In reality, very few people joined in at the time, as the video captured of the event clearly shows.
She begins to sing the song alone. Groans are audible at first. No one joins in. Bernsmeier-Rullow’s voice warbles on, as she clutches a bouquet to herself.
A voice exhorts the clearly unmoved crowd to “come on, sing up”.
When the same footage appeared on Rolling Stone’s report, the singing was much louder than in the original.
This is odd, because the first film shows very few people singing along.
The message has been adopted and amplified. It was delivered by a BBC “analyst” and failed actress.
It is now widely believed that the crowd at the vigil for the victims of the Manchester Arena bomber spontaneously burst into singing “Don’t Look Back in Anger”.
According to “whistleblowers” reported by Ian Cobain,
…this strategy of ‘controlled spontaneity’ was hatched in anticipation of terrorist incidents at the 2012 London Olympic Games.
Should a bombing or other act of mass murder occur, the primary aim was to ensure that, in the immediate aftermath, public responses conveyed empathy for the victims and a sense of unity with strangers, rather than displays of anger and retaliatory violence.
Why did this woman pick this song? She said,
It's a bit of a Manchester anthem, and so I started singing as I thought it would be a nice break to the silence.
That silence followed a minute to remember the dead.
Then it was gone, and so were they.
This example of controlled spontaneity probably arose by means of a suggestion to a suggestible person. Ruller seems the type to crave attention. Indifferent to the means and the message she conveys, the point is to take a moment and make it about you.
This makes these moments dissolve.
In this case, the moment is the memory of the dead and wounded.
Not to be forgotten, Oasis lead singer Liam Gallagher reportedly sent “love and light” to all those involved. Gallagher staged a solo gig after the bombing with posters reading “Never Mind the Terrorists, We Are Manchester”.
A glowing report of Gallagher’s “Manchester Gig" [which] Cemented the City’s Solidarity” ran alongside condemnation of another “Manchester Idol” - Morrissey, who had released a song condemning the slogan “Don’t Look Back in Anger”.
The British State later invoked the bombing of the Manchester Arena to force bingo halls for pensioners to pay for “security measures”.
There has been no news on the fact that “racism” could have saved the lives of those 22 people, manyof whom were children.
Earlier this year, hundreds of survivors with life changing injuries began legal action against Mi5, the British Security Service, for its failure to prevent an attack by a man known to them, and radicalised in the British State’s campaign of terror in Libya.
CONTROLLED SPONTANEITY
The “spontaneous” event of singing “Don’t Look Back in Anger” is remarkably similar to the State-managed responses to every terror attack in Britain. Called “controlled spontaneity”, it is a strategy made in Britain to put what is in sight quickly out of mind.
Many people now believe it actually happened as described in the press.
Few people know that Abedi bought the materials for his bomb with his mother’s bank card, drawing on funds supplied by UK Government benefits, such as tax credits, child and housing benefit - even though she had left the UK for Libya a year earlier.
The father was arrested, in Libya, but was released. He has “disappeared”.
Abedi’s house in Manchester had a black ISIS flag flying on the roof for two years before the attacks.
Don’t look back in anger. That would be racist.
It would also lead to difficult questions about the liberal-global state’s role in replacing your normal life with a permanent state of emergency.
This is why your response to the downstream effects of regime change is managed by “controlled spontaneity”:
Ian Cobain’s excellent work on the British State’s crafting of counterfeit public opinion is documented in the video above.
You can read about how the British state uses “secret mind control blueprints” to “shape post-terror planning” here. This is a method also used to promote covid measures, and is being exported around the West to push compliance with a range of globalist-aligned narratives.
A 2019 Freedom of Information request to see UK Government materials on the strategy of controlled spontaneity was predictably refused.
You will only read all about this on independent media, in places like this SubStack.
Please support my work if you can.
A CENTURY OF FAKE REALITY
The staging of fake events as real expressions of genuine public sentiment can be traced back to Edward Bernays, the “Godfather of propaganda”.
Bernays staged events to shape public opinion. He famously set up marches in the 1920s where women would smoke cigarettes - “Freedom torches” - to double the market for smoking.
‘He generated events, the events generated news, and the news generated a demand for whatever he happened to be selling.’
- Larry Tye, in his biography of Bernays
You can read about the Bernays method, and its use of the ideas of Sigmund Freud, here. Freud was Bernays’ uncle.
A COUNTERFEIT CULTURE
As I will argue in detail in my forthcoming book, the liberal democratic system has since its inception a century ago been structured on the creation of a counterfeit culture.
Fake news, fake events, fake religion, fake beliefs and fake food-like products for the malnourishment of mind and body produce a fake reality.
This is the world we know today. We know it is fake. This is the reason free speech is a danger to “democracy”.
You can read more about the counterfeit culture in Church and State here:
Our reality is staged. It is a counterfeit sold as the genuine article. This is the reason the obvious is so controversial, the truth is terrorism, and why looking back in anger or at all is something the Good People say you must never do.
As the fifth of November heralds an election which may decide the life or death of the industry of terror, remember.
Gunpowder, treason, and plot.
In 2022 Morrissey performed a song about the Manchester Arena bombing at the London Palladium.
Before he did so, he asked why no one knows the name and face of the Manchester bomber, asking “Why is he being hidden?”
Abedi’s face is the face of terror. A terror that has been created abroad by the same people who do nothing to protect you as it is imported into your home. Made safe by their policies, these people are products of an international industry of death which is destroying our entire civilisation.
Our liberal-globalist politicians refuse to close the borders, stop the human trafficking and the wars which funnel the wreckage of regime change into our lives.
They want you to forget all this. They will lock you up if you look in anger on the ruin they have made of reality.
We are neither to look back in anger, nor around us in the present, for it may make us realise that looking forward will only bring more of the same.
To the relief of the liberal-global state Oasis have come back to lead the population into a future of enlightened, mindless self destruction.
Yet we will remember for the rest of our lives.
As Morrisey says in Bonfire of Teenagers:
And all the silly people sing
Don’t look back in anger
Well I can assure you
I will look back in anger until the day I die.
Never forget.
These things take time, as Morrissey also once said, and without your support I cannot continue to produce them.
I have lost a number of paid subscriptions recently. If you can pay me to do this, please consider doing so. If you cannot, and would like to read the archived reports on 20th Century propaganda and others, email me and I will let you in.
A wonderful piece of writing that cuts to the chase. We are being manipulated on all levels no matter what evils are being meted out to us or what has beset or befallen families. As long as the narrative of the regime gets up and running as organic or spontaneous the media will take care of the rest. It was the same when David Ames was murdered. The following Monday when parliament reconvened (the poor man was slaughtered on a Friday) online hate speech dominated the dispatches. Their fellow MP was just butchered by an Islamist terrorist and they all jump on the agree consensus of online hate. These people are utterly repellent and their actions/words, unconscionable.
Well said, Frank!
People are so stupid - they believe anything they are told is true. The nonsense of singing a pop song to show you are a kind, considerate person is as stupid as banging a saucepan whilst standing on your doorstep to show you worship the NHS or putting a piece of paper over your face to show you care about not killing granny with a cold. Come the Revolution, I intend putting them all up against the wall!
Actually, just putting the instigators up against the wall would probably be enough - most people just follow the crowd for fear of being shouted at so, get rid of the sanctimonious instigators and the sheep can relax.
