Is Storytelling Our Most Powerful Weapon in the 5G War for Hearts and Minds?

James Corbett offers the gold standard in independent, investigative journalism. For 17 years and counting, he has woken people up in the alternative media space, offering heavily sourced, highly insightful content on The Corbett Report. James’ noteworthy output is legion, including Solutions Watch and New World Next Week. His groundbreaking coverage of 9/11, as well as the hijacked environmental movement with the documentary How and Why Big Oil Conquered the World, reveal a fierce commitment to courageous reporting.

In Part III below, we discuss the importance of narrative to awaken and empower human consciousness.

MA: I’ve heard you say that narrative—the story we tell—is one of the most powerful tools in our arsenal. How can we better create a story to wake people up—while keeping them optimistic enough to stand up?

JC: Absolutely, narrative stands as one of our most powerful tools, especially against the backdrop of things like Agenda 2030, which come with their own narratives designed to steer public perception and action. The common response to the globalist narrative is one of direct opposition. While needed, this approach can often leave us in a reactive stance, continuously countering their agenda—without presenting a compelling alternative of our own.

MA: I agree with you. It often feels like we are doing little besides reacting to what’s coming at us daily. Is that your sense of it?

JC: Yes. The real challenge—and real opportunity—lies in transcending this reactive position to proactively shape future discourse. This isn't merely about opposing an existing agenda. It’s about articulating and presenting our own vision. We must move beyond the shadow of reaction to create stories that resonate more deeply, stories articulating visions of freedom, community, and personal responsibility.

MA: What else do people need to know about changing the story we tell?

JC: When confronted with narratives that push a specific agenda—anything from the WHO Pandemic Treaty to the supposed need for a biometric digital ID, it’s important to highlight actionable solutions and initiatives that embody our own values—what matters to us.

It’s also vital to present viable solutions.

Whether through community gardens, local cooperatives, or other grassroots actions, these proactive endeavors showcase the positive change we wish to see and produce in the world. However, to truly shift the narrative, we must detach ourselves from the daily news cycle that seeks to capture our attention and dictate discourse.

MA: Why is this so important?

JC: By changing the narrative, we shift the focus from what we're told to think about everyday existence to what we can create and achieve together. This requires a reorientation of our perspective, moving from a predominantly reactive mode to one that engenders positive solutions.

MA: For those who would say action is all that matters, why should we emphasize better storytelling?

JC: Engaging and awakening people—especially those who are less informed—demands a narrative that not only reveals what’s really happening, but also inspires and motivates. This approach aims to counter so many prevailing and demoralizing narratives, empowering everyday people to finally stand up.

There’s a reason why the legacy media—and the powers they serve—present a stark vision for the future, one that promotes their agenda. We can counter such messaging with our own stories containing hope and a desire to contribute to a better world. Note: I am not advocating for hopium, but rather, real hope, to build a brighter future.

Ultimately, a strategy of narrative-crafting extends beyond merely opposing detrimental agendas. It’s about catalyzing a collective movement towards a vision rooted in our shared values and aspirations. By doing so, we are not only awakening people. We are motivating them to actively participate in shaping the future they wish to see come to fruition.

MA: I love that. And I implore storytellers the world over to get involved now. We can change the story we tell—and in the process—fix our world.
