The Political Issue of Taylor Swift, By Charles Taylor (Florida)

Pop music seems to be a mania that youth like to embrace, throwing away reason. We saw this in the 1960s with Beatlemania, with mainly girls going loopy and doing weird things. Imagine paying good money to go to a Beatle's concert, and not being able to hear anything, as teenage, and older girls, were hysterical. Readers who are not aware of this phenomenon of mass hysteria, may be amused to examine YouTube videos on this. The Beatles themselves stopped doing live tours because mainly of the frustration of not being able to even hear themselves play.

That was say 1964, and turning to 2024, we have the Taylor Swift phenomenon, and her Swifties, cult-like fans. Swift is a person who sings mainly about bad choices in relationships, and she apparently does not learn from mistakes, if the music tracks real life. But she has millions of fans, who she has directed to vote for Kamala Harris, because Harris is the abortion champion, and transgender stuff to boot, causes Swift champions. From the Beatles to this, but I think Ringo Star has also endorsed the same agenda, saying mindlessly "love and peace," endlessly at his YouTube site. Swift posted: ""I'm voting for Kamala Harris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. She is a steady-handed, gifted leader, and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos."

I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate Tim Walz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman's right to her own body for decades." Good Grief! Who writes this stuff?

Conservatives have examined polling data which indicates that Swift's endorsement did not move the needle, since so many of her Swifties are children under the voting age, and others had intended to vote for Harris anyway, being total Leftists. What is interesting coming from this debate is that, as detailed below, NATO elites have discussed how celebrities like Taylor Swift cold be used to attack populist movements across the world, but especially Europe, where the war against Russia is ongoing. There are apparently documents stating this, but it stands to reason they would do this. In in any case feminist Leftist icons like Swift, would naturally do this, being motivated by the super-woke music crowd.

Popular music is a dangerous political weapon of Leftism. Christians burning Beatle's records in the 1960s seemed extreme at the time, but with the wisdom of hindsight, they were onto something. The entire entertainment industry is little more than a giant propaganda machine for the globalist elites' will to power.

"On Tuesday night Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris for president with a pre-planned Instagram post to come out following Kamala's first presidential debate against President Donald Trump.

Swift based her endorsement on the misleading talking points by the far left on abortion access.

Swift, in a post on her Instagram with 283 million followers, wrote, "I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election."

Swift continued, "I'm voting for Kamala Harris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. She is a steady-handed, gifted leader, and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos."

I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate Tim Walz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman's right to her own body for decades," added Swift.

On Wednesday Mike Benz, the founder and Executive Director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, joined Natalie Winters on The War Room to discuss the significance of the endorsement.

Benz described the endorsement as NATO's nuclear weapon for soft power influence.

NATO and the globalist elites need players like Swift to push their narratives in order to hold and build their power base over the people and to strike down the populist movements in the West.

Natalie Winters: Mike Benz, can you walk us through the significance of this endorsement?

Mike Benz: Sure can, Natalie. Taylor Swift is NATO's nuclear weapon for soft power influence. There's a funny backstory to this. I've been talking about this now for about a year. I found a NATO 2019 Psychological Operations Center panel discussion on information warfare, where someone from the CIA, someone from the 77th Brigade of British Intelligence, which is Psychological Operations for British Intelligence, and someone who was a contractor for Graphica, which is the Psychological Operations Research Center of the Pentagon, based on the Minerva initiative there, all made this pitch to NATO about how they could win the information war in 2019 against all the rising domestic populist political threats that were challenging support for NATO at home as well as Russian influence abroad.

To my shock, as I was watching this NATO Psychological Operations lecture hosted on NATO's official YouTube channel, One of the slide deck presentations put up a big picture of Taylor Swift, and the presenter went on to describe how Taylor Swift and others like her could be, quote, trained to spread desired messaging about NATO as they had successfully used her and other celebrities for other adjacent priorities around everything from public health to other social issues.

And so this is NATO deliberately planning to, quote, train Taylor Swift to spread desired NATO messaging. Now, you have to understand NATO wants Kamala Harris to win. NATO wants Macron to win in France, wants Salvini to lose in Italy, wants the Vox party to lose in Spain, wants the AfD Party to lose in Germany. And so NATO, in its 2030 agenda, has articulated that it must become a political animal because the biggest threat to NATO is not actually a kinetic attack by Russia, but simply losing domestic elections at home, which would cut back NATO funding, which would cut support for NATO, cut support for its mandate to aggress around the world.

NATO has been leaning on the EU. The EU Commissioner came out and demanded that Taylor Swift come out to Europe and basically proselytize about neoliberalism and avoiding threats to democracy in the upcoming EU parliamentary elections. Amazingly, that is exactly when Taylor Swift extended her "Eras Tour" into Europe."
