Candace Owens, Redacted, and “active measures”

We use that term from time to time. And to be frank, some of these terms of art are quite specific and require a great deal of previous understanding to make use of the particular term properly, and it can be very difficult to hold on to and maintain these understandings. None more so of course, than “dialectics”. That is something that I personally think about at some level all the time and manage occasional epiphanies in its meaning and importance that allows occasional (OK all too frequent) use for a particular use case.

In this post, I am concerned with a Soviet era information-warfare term, active measures [aktivnye meropriyatiya]. This is something Western governments have been using heavily on its own citizens since the communist revolution of 2020.

Below would be, based on my tentative understanding of the term, a clear example:

France is being turned into a communist-Islamic sh*thole at Mach 3. Churches and Cathedrals are destroyed, burned down, priests and clergy are being killed or otherwise disenfranchised. Freedom of speech is destroyed altogether, (obviously all the same things are happening/have happened in Canada, the UK etc) thanks to the mass murder of Charlie Hebdo and a number of others. Islamic honour killings and mass rapes go often unpunished and although it is hard to prove, likely also go for the most part unreported altogether.

Jewish institutions in France have needed armed security for some time now, and that will probably come to an end once the revolution goes fully overt.

But below, there is a 28 minute video on whether or not the communist betrayer of France, Emanuel Macron’s wife is actually a man.

If we are correct, then it might also go to explain why some counter-narrative sites are kicked off of YouTube very quickly, while others manage to stay on and in fact, make a handsome living from it.

Controlled opposition usually means it appears to support a counter narrative, but it is in fact either an active measure, or an allowable counter-narrative. CBC in Canada along with CTV etc. are brilliant at allowable counter-narratives in very specific ways. My personal favorite example was pretending to hold the Trudeau Gov’ts feet to the fire during covid by demanding to know why the mRNA shots where not provided quickly enough or there was not sufficient quantities of them for everyone to have 2 shots right away, without ever examining the need for them or the safety etc. But you can find examples of allowable counter-narratives on CBC by tuning in to its radio broadcasts at pretty much anytime for an hour or so.

We are very open to arguments to the contrary. So please feel free to put them in the comments. They will be read. This post is speculative. And no accusations are being made, other than about CBC. Just looking at models and what pieces fit it.
