Most of the US wanted to go to war, the false WMD evidence simply provided an excuse. That is not the fault of the media.

Mass Mind Control is Upon Us - It's Time to Awaken Your Consciousness

Many people may not realize that when they turn on the television in their home, what they see as a constant flow of images is actually flickering. Although we do not see this consciously, the repetitive pattern of flickering images creates a state that is similar to hypnosis in the television viewer. Studies by researcher Herbert Krugman have shown that within 30 seconds of television viewing, brain waves switch from predominantly beta waves, indicating alert and conscious attention, to predominantly alpha waves, indicating an unfocused, receptive lack of attention. The brain's left hemisphere, which processes information logically and analytically, tunes out while the person is watching TV, while the right hemisphere of the brain, which processes information emotionally and non-critically, is allowed to function without hindrance. Due to this phenomenon, television transmits information, which is not actively thought about at the time of exposure, much like hypnosis. When viewing television, we do not consciously rationalize the information resonating within our unconscious depths at the time of transmission and the viewer becomes more open and suggestible.

Because of the passive, hypnosis-like viewing of television as well as its predominance in the homes of nearly all Americans, the television is one of the most powerful tools used today. As of 2009, six companies controlled all of the major media outlets in the United States. That is a very small number of people controlling all of the information that streams into millions of homes across America each day through their television sets. In recent years, a number of investigations and exposes have revealed that these giants' silence independent voices and investigations, discourage journalism that interferes with the agendas of special interests, and eliminate diversity in the information they provide. Because of the control that these companies have over the information that most Americans receive on a daily basis, these criticisms and revelations are never known by most of the American public.

These media giants work hand and glove with the federal government as well as many multinational corporations to disseminate carefully planned messages. Through the television and other forms of media, they tell you what to think about, what to worry about, what to smile about, and what to be scared of. They have sold the public on the idea of the newscaster being an extension of the family, a trusted figure who encourages the acceptance of the information being presented as true and accurate. In 2008, the pentagon spent more than $2 billion compensating major media outlets for disseminating public relations messages. These messages are delivered to the television viewer as news produced by the television station, not as paid and produced by the pentagon. In the same year, pharmaceutical companies paid television outlets more than $4 billion for advertising, which included Video News Releases (VNR), specially tailored pieces that appear within the nightly news disguised as researched and reported by the local stations. No other industrialized nation in the world allows drug ads on television let alone these cleverly disguised VNRs hidden within the news.

And yet while all this has been happening behind the scenes, the American public has been duped into staking all their trust in select major media outlets as they express brand loyalty in television stations, newspapers, and magazines. Many people have been tricked into believing that the mainstream media reports only objective news while any information delivered from outside the mainstream is to always be questioned. Somehow the public has bought into the idea that the TV wouldn't lie to them. Many people will not pay any regard to information that is not covered by the major media; if they did not hear about it on the nightly news then they simply don't care. This is the mindset that the major media moguls want us to have, as we are willfully ignorant and obedient to their every direction. Our unanalytical and loyal viewership is in their best interest.

Major media news networks continually bombard us with the possibility of an endless amount of scenarios, which produce fear and then shape our reactions to real situations. This is predictive programming; it gets us familiar with an idea so that when it happens we expect it and do not react and question. Although most people refer to television programming as the shows that are aired on television, it can also refer to the programming of the people that occurs on a daily basis. Most people believe they are just simply being entertained, but they never realize that their way of life is being shaped for them and their thoughts are actually being given to them. They are being familiarized with ideas, concepts, and fear so they won't question certain interventions in the future. TV gives us what messages must be imprinted in our minds, gives us what button to push in what sequence, and if it's done the right way with the right production and the right propaganda then the public will react and do exactly as they've been programmed to do.

When one continually controls the information, one controls the people absorbing the information. The manufactured and controlled information on TV can be referred to as the signal and that constant signal is what shapes and guides the masses to their conclusions. In order to take back our minds, we must first learn to "Unplug the Signal." By turning off your TV you will realize the world that you're living in is suddenly very unfamiliar to you. You will see that news of no importance is constantly debated and analyzed, and as you listen to the conversations of people around you, you realize they're talking robots just repeating what they've heard on the news. This is exactly what Zbigniew Brzezinski talked about in his book "Between Two Ages". He said, "Shortly, the public will be unable to reason or think for themselves. They'll only be able to parrot the information they've been given on the previous night's news."

Massive Corporate Media Coverup of Real Numbers at D.C. Rally


Kurt Nimmo
Infowars
September 13, 2009

The Gray Lady of Operation Mockingbird, the New York Times, reports today that “thousands” of patriots protested against Obamacare, cap and trade, the bankster bailout, and unchecked federal government power in the District of Criminals yesterday.

featured stories Massive Corporate Media Coverup of Real Numbers at D.C. Rally

“The demonstrators numbered well into the tens of thousands, though the police declined to estimate the size of the crowd,” the newspaper reports, attempting to downplay the historical significance of the protest.

The New York Times says the police declined to estimate the crowd — or rather the corporate media declined to report it — because the number was around two million, the largest protest in the capitol’s history.

The protest out-numbered Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech delivered from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963. That march was estimated at around 200,000 people.

ABC News did likewise, pegging the turnout in the thousands. “Thousands of conservative protesters from across the country converged on the Capitol Saturday morning to demonstrate against President Obama’s proposals for health care reform and voicing opposition to big government, what they say is over-the-top spending,” the corporate propaganda outlet claimed on Saturday.

featured stories Massive Corporate Media Coverup of Real Numbers at D.C. Rally

Ditto the War Street Journal — excuse me, the Wall Street Journal — although they put the number at tens of thousands. The Journal admitted the obvious: “While some Republican officeholders were at the rally, not everybody there called themselves Republicans.”

Fox News tried to spin the event as a Glenn Beck phenomenon.

NPR, the news service of Soros and the foundations, did the same parlor trick with the math, putting the number at tens of thousands. NPR contradicted itself, however, and reported that as “the demonstrators walked along Pennsylvania Avenue toward the U.S. Capitol, the line stretched as far as the eye could see in either direction. The crowd was so thick in places that it was difficult to move.”

As to be expected, the “progressives” (left cover bankster faction) attempted to portray two million patriotic Americans as racists. Think Soros, formerly known as Think Progress, posted a blog entry supposedly revealing racist placards at the event — in fact, none of the signs showed were racist — the worst the Soros operatives produced was a photo of a woman with a Confederate flag. The Soros clan said everybody at the event was white (as if they had examined the skin color of two million people).

It’s not going to work. The two million people who showed up to voice their outrage at a federal government out of control and in violation of the Constitution was but a small sampling of the millions of people across the country in opposition to Obama and the corporate-fascist agenda of his one-world masters.

If Obama and the Democrats ram the deathcare bill through the House by way of “reconciliation,” the opposition will redouble its numbers and once again take to the streets.

Thousands? This timelapse video puts an end to the corporate media lies and spin.

l'am here not to defend or support media just merely as objective person. Media is source of information which we need as most people
would understand they have obligation as they are business to shareholders
viewers but in all walks of life mistakes happen and media no different.
So to suggest that media here is propaganda machine is fallacy only in
USA , such as foxnews which are bias ,liberal approach to there content is
unsavory .Only gives conspiracy theorist credence to their arguments with

Scientific Poll: Only 29% Of Americans Trust Mainstream Media

Record numbers say they distrust a media dominated by corporate interests

Steve Watson
Infowars.net
Monday, Sept 14, 2009

A new poll by the Pew Research Center has reveled that almost two thirds of Americans do not trust the mainstream media to deliver the truth, marking a 20+ year low.

63%, the vast majority of the over 1500 respondents to the survey, stated that the news media is dominated by special interests, rendering it biased and inaccurate.

When Pew first asked the question in 1985, the figure was 34%.

Now in 2009, just 29% say they trust the media to deliver straight facts.

The figures also represent a decline in trust in the media by a further 10% from 2007 numbers.

Perhaps this trend has something to do with the fact that the major networks, essentially owned by just five companies, have become little more than government mouthpieces.

Take ABC for example, the network that completely turned over its news coverage to the government for an Obama healthcare special last June, and excluded any dissenting opinions from airing.

The latest example of corporate media lies came this weekend as up to two million Americans protesting against unchecked federal government power was uniformly reported in the mainstream as a few thousand “teabaggers”.

It is not surprising that more people trust “fake” news programs such as The Daily Show and The Colbert Report than they do the mainstream media dinosaurs.

Neither is it a coincidence that newspaper sales and broadcasters’ audiences are rapidly declining as people turn to the alternative media and the internet.

Quietly Building the Totalitarian State in America, With the Full Complicity of the Big Media

Jack D. Douglas
Lew Rockwell.com
Monday, September 14, 2009

All intelligent political analysts have known since Ancient Greece that the Tyrannical State always arrives on gentle cat’s paws, as Plato and others put it a few centuries after the basic strategies and tactics of Building The Secret Tyrannical State had been used so effectively by Peisistratus to build the first full-blown tyranny in Athens [though some objected that Solon's "new deal for all" was a tyranny]. The Tyrant always arrives as the Great Friend of the People promising them new freedoms and a vast cornucopia of free goodies. Peisistratus was lucky enough to have new loads of silver to mint real coins to buy the submission of the masses for a while, expand trade and prosperity. Most states in the modern world use the Miracle Cures of Paper Money and the Central Planning of Finance, as has been done in the U.S. to a stunning extreme by the Fed and the Big Banks working under that vast government umbrella of guaranteed free money for them. Caesar Augustus perfected the Secret Tyranny in Rome, hiding so successfully behind his big lies of Republican Freedoms and other virtues that he looked like an ordinary citizen of vast benevolence. The Secrets of Tyranny have been so carefully guarded through the last few millennia that Machiavelli shocked the tyrants and all their complicit oligarchs by revealing the secrets based on his own insider experience with it in Florence in The Prince. Cesar Borgia was so shocked when this ghastly truth speaker dedicated the book to him that he disappeared Machiavelli – pretending he never heard it. Machiavelli was lucky to escape the secret stiletto revenge against truth speakers and live out his life in deep seclusion in the country.

Intelligent Americans of the Founders’ generation were aware of the central place of secret financial tyranny in the building of the Medici tyranny of Florence and the building of similar tyrannies throughout parts of Europe. Most sternly opposed the US Bank, a weak imitation of a central bank finally outlawed by Jackson. Lincoln started a new central banking system with Greenback manipulations to finance the Union war on the South. It slowly withered away after the war. But in 1913 the US launched the Federal Reserve System which began by expropriating the freedom of hard money, banking and finance. It immediately engineered the vast WWI inflation, the Crash of the early 1920’s, the vast inflation of stocks and some real estate markets, the Great Crash of 1929 and the Depression lasting about twelve years. FDR in 1932 expropriated gold and a monetary, hard, free currency and the Fed and many vast new financing agencies began building the immense Paper Citadel of Tyranny in the US which has produced about 2000% inflation and the secret concentration of money, finance, wealth and power at the top of the Big Banks and their armies of subsidiary corporations.

Over the past twenty years this Big Bank System in the US has worked quietly with similar systems in the U.K., France, some of Switzerland and other nations to build an immense Secret Banking System, which is euphemistically called The Shadow Banking System. It uses the paper money of the Fed, et al., as the base for leveraging an immense system of derivatives – now totaling about $700 trillion in contracts, but the exact amount is a secret. This vast Secret Banking System was the basis of the many trillions of dollars of fraudulent paper assets sold around the world by the Big Banks. It is this Secret System that began imploding two years ago and started the implosion of the Big Banks themselves a year ago. Those catastrophes were then used by the Fed, the Treasury, et al., as the “justification” for a vast, totally illegal seizure of the entire top of the US financial System and, thence of the U.S. and much of the global economy.

The Republicrat Party, now dominated by the Demo Wing of the Party, is now using those vast new powers to rapidly seize control of all the major segments of American society – from health care to environmental controls which will rule ["regulate"] all corporations and individuals. All of this is being denied absolutely and all the symbols of freedom and equality and justice are being waved furiously in the Big Media by the Party to deceive the masses of ignorant “dupes,” as the professional politicians think of them.

(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)

Quietly Building the Totalitarian State in America, With the Full Complicity of the Big Media 150709banner2

The Big Media are all Republicrat Corporations. Even Disneyland and GE own huge tv-network news departments and work under the aegis of the Party and the vast regulatory agencies the Party uses to control them. The Media now have almost no serious, honest analysts of what is going on in the US and around the world as the US invades more and more nations openly and secretly and builds ever more vast, secret police spying armies here and around the world. The US Presidents and their secret armies, notably the CIA, now literally have secret drones spying on nations around the world and murdering women and children suspected of harboring enemies of the US almost instantly by pressing a button in Washington or other spy centers to annihilate their homes with Hellfire missiles. Hitler and Stalin never imagined having such immediate powers of life and death even in their own slave states and certainly not on the other side of the world.

These vast overt and secret police powers are now being expanded relentlessly across every major segment of our society that the Party sees as important to their plans to build this vast American Citadel of Secret Tyranny – the “new and better world order.” Obama swore with religious fervor to end all these Bush II tyrannies and has expanded them all relentlessly, even the insane Rendition program of kidnapping and torturing people in other nations around the world, which make the Gestapo powers look like the German Old Ladies Aid Society.

I think this field report below from John Moore is an excellent, detailed, insider account from the grass roots of what is exploding at all levels across much of the spectrum of American life today – Quietly Building The Open-Secret Totalitarian State in America, With The Full Complicity Of The Big Media. The Big Media, like those in Stalinist Russia and Nazi Germany, conspire with the politicians at the top creating the New Freedoms by relentlessly NOT reporting on what is going on behind the Big Lie Fronts, by disappearing all truth speakers like Machiavelli, by distracting the masses of dupes with vast explosions of sex and violence circuses, and by giving a patina of normalcy to what is going on. They focus immense attention on petty Con Men like Madoff working within the US Financial System at the top who only steal tens of billions and, thereby, totally distract mass attention away from the tens of trillions stolen and destroyed by the Fed, Treasury and other “regulators” working with the Big Banks and their Secret Banking System. It’s like the German Media focusing public attention on the “blonde gods” of the 1936 Olympics while the Party built its secret system of spying, bribery, extortions, threats, torture, murder and concentration camps. [The Nazis, unlike the Soviets, left the state bureaucracies in place and used bribery, extortions, threats, and all the rest to quietly force judges and honest politicians and any would-be truth tellers to "work with" the Party, mostly by keeping their mouths shut in public. Even the vast Death Camps were such extreme secrets that to this day we cannot be sure who knew about them in Germany through "the grape vines" and who did not.]

We who are trying to expose what is being done in the US now to public view necessarily work under immense constraints. Almost everything in America can now be censored in the Media as a “violation of national security” or by simple disappearance and stigmatization as “Crazy.” We have to rely on these many insider accounts and carefully analyzing them in relation to each other to “connect the dots,” as Machiavelli did in the late Renaissance when the Princes disappeared people for telling the truth about their secret tyrannies. I and my many friends, colleagues, and others working to expose the vital truths have written and distributed hundreds of essays on the great Web, since even those of us who published many books as I did have been shut out of such public publications of the truth. We are trying desperately to reveal what is going on. We rely as much as possible on such honest, careful, insider accounts as the one below by John Moore about his experience in a class required by law to carry a concealed weapon in Texas. We are seeing a sudden explosion of these “dots of truth” and of immense Big Lies by the Obama Demos in their first half year of power, similar to what we saw and wrote about in immense detail and analyzed in the years of the Bush II Repub explosion of secret police and military tyrannies here and around the world. We will continue as long as we can to try to help the world see and understand the terrible Secret Tyranny that is being built in America and has already destroyed the real Constitution and left its outer forms as a shell of Lies to hide the awful realities of government power trashing all the traditional values of the American nation we love.

Field Report From John Moore

I just took the concealed carry class today, and if there was any support for Obama, no one in the class was bold enough to express it. Of course, this was a group of gun toting and soon to be gun toting Texans and cops, but it was decidedly anti-Obama. They were particularly riled about something I have heard absolutely nothing about in our joke “news” media. Obama apparently sent the ATF down to the border states in vast numbers to check on people who’d recently bought guns. From this one little store where the class was being held, they grabbed names and addresses and went around asking several people if they could see the guns they bought.

The gun store owner was upset because his customers were calling and asking why he’d sent the ATF to their house – and telling him that they weren’t going to buy any more guns from him. One of the guys in the class had two ATF agents show up and his door and refused to let them see his guns or come in his house without a warrant – and they left. The guy who was most pissed off – about the ATF visit his wife got while he was at work – was the cop fingerprinting us for our carry permits. He had been working security at the federal court and had just seen two cases of gang bangers stealing large quantities of guns – one from a home invasion of a judge’s house, and the other from driving a truck into a gun store – and he was wanting to know why the ATF was spending time at his house asking about his legal guns.

Several people expressed the thought that they weren’t yet coming around asking to see what medications they had in their medicine cabinets and if they had to proper prescriptions.

As of last year there were about 125,000 concealed carry permits in the state. We’re told that since November the number of applications is WAY up, and they’re backloogged now with processing 10,000 new applications a month.

Open Letter To Glenn Beck By Alex Jones



Edited by Paul Joseph Watson

Open Letter To Glenn Beck By Alex Jones 150909top3

Alex Jones has addressed Glenn Beck in the form of an open letter, appealing to him to “be on the right side of history” by using his growing public platform to tell the truth rather than exploiting it to deceive grass-roots conservatives and libertarians into following a re-birth of the neo-con agenda that Beck has embraced all along.

——————————————

Glenn Beck,

It is important to preface this letter by highlighting the fact that I do not attack people lightly and have defended you in the past when Van Jones was calling for you to be fired. I fully support your right to free speech.

It cannot be denied that you – Glenn Beck – are an extremely talented radio and television host and you have a magnetism and a proficiency of public speaking that draws people in and maintains their interest. However, being a novice history buff I am also painfully aware of the fact that Benedict Arnold was, like you, a talented individual – he was also a traitor.

History is what matters and being on the right side of history is what’s important when it comes to the legacy we leave on this planet. You don’t want people to look back on you as a Benedict Arnold, as a traitor to America. You don’t want people to look back on you as a media whore, as playing the role of being loyal opposition to sucker legitimate and growing grass roots opposition to the new world order.

Your agenda is to put out a dual message – to discredit and polarize the conservative movement to the benefit of the establishment left and the elite. Your bizarre and clownish antics of fake crying, which you proved were staged when you replicated them on demand for a GQ photo shoot, are doing nothing but reinforcing the stereotype that the conservative right is insane.

Your entire 9/12 project has nothing to do with uniting America and everything to do with reinforcing neo-conservative rhetoric about how we should relinquish our rights and accept the police state because terrorists want to attack us and Saddam Hussein has WMD’s and yellowcake.

As the video below illustrates, despite the fact that you claim to be “a Libertarian at heart,” you have publicly supported programs and legislation that are universally abhorred by the vast majority of libertarians, such as the banker bailout and the USA Patriot Act.

During your Monday September 22 2008 TV broadcast, you expressed your vehement support for the bailout, stating, “The $700 billion dollars that you’re hearing about now is not only I believe necessary, it is also not nearly enough.” However, as soon as Bush left office and Obama picked up the baton and continued the same financial policy, you changed your tune and routinely attacked the bailout as an example of how socialism was taking over America.

The bailout was bad news for America under Bush just as it is under Obama, both were merely performing a transfer of wealth from America to offshore banks and giving the Federal Reserve total dictatorial control over the economy, but you only opposed it when Bush was out of office, proving that your opinions are not wedded to right or wrong, but to which puppet is in the White House.

A host of mainline conservative talking heads opposed the banker bailout, as did the majority of the American people, but you went on television and publicly supported it. This is irreconcilable with you being “a libertarian at heart” as you claim.

In addition, you aggressively attacked Ron Paul and his supporters during the election campaign when it looked like the Texan Congressman might have a real chance of winning the nomination. You implied that Ron Paul supporters were domestic terrorists and should be dealt with by the U.S. Army, but later tried to side with Ron Paul supporters when the infamous and discredited MIAC report echoed your own talking point that people who support Ron Paul were dangerous.

The smear came during a November 2007 show when you were still hosting on CNN. Yourself and ex-Marxist David Horowitz smeared Ron Paul supporters, libertarians and the anti-war left as terrorist sympathizers and inferred that the U.S. military should be used to silence them, parroting a talking point that traces back to a September 2006 White House directive. When asked about the issue, Ron Paul dismissed you as “pretty discourteous” and a “demagogue”.

You Glenn Beck have acted as a cheerleader for the wars of aggression launched since 9/11 and in addition called for Iran to be attacked, claiming that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is preparing a “second holocaust.” Once again, these political opinions stand completely contrary to libertarian principles, which follow the founding fathers’ view that an expansionist aggressive foreign policy is bad for America.

You have attacked Obama for unraveling the Bush war machine to give you left cover, when in fact Obama has done everything in his power to expand Bush’s wars, beefing the campaigns in Afghanistan and Pakistan while removing a token amount of troops from Iraq and replacing them with an even greater number of contractors.

By attacking Obama for being different to Bush, when in reality he offers not change whatsoever, you keep people locked in the left-right paradigm and ensure that instead of coming to the realization that the whole system is rigged, they will merely vote in another puppet for the new world order in 2012.

Glenn Beck – you are controlled opposition, you are there to co-opt and ensure the Tea Parties are under control and that they never focus on taking on the real power behind the American economy – the Federal Reserve.

Bearing in mind that you almost died not too long ago, wouldn’t you rather come to the end of your life, whether that be in one year or 30 years from now, knowing that you stood up for true liberty and freedom? Isn’t that more valuable than your $50 million dollars a year contract? When I was approached ten years ago and offered large sums of money every year to sell out and become what you are today – the new Rush Limbaugh – while accepting tight controls on what I could and could not discuss – I said no and I thank God every day that I made the right decision.

I appeal to you directly Glenn – think twice about what you are doing, think twice about what you are a part of right now. Try to do what you can to redeem yourself and don’t be a Benedict Arnold, don’t be a traitor that takes legions of good-natured but hoodwinked people down the rat hole with you as America collapses because those who had voices and platforms used them to deceive and distract rather than tell the truth.

Charlie Sheen Versus the Cult of Cowardice

Jurriaan Maessen
Prison Planet.com
Wednesday, September 16, 2009

“They say cowardice is infectious; but then, on the other hand, argument is a great emboldener.”

From Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island

Transfixed as they are on complying with the instructions dripping down from headquarters, the talking heads yapping away on the TV screen resort to increasingly nonsensical statements. We have grown accustomed to the fact that the mainstream media parrots the talking points provided to them by their corporate masters. This time it is obvious the pundits have neatly formed ranks, for the law of probabilities forbids such a unified response, almost identical in all its facets.

Handed to them on a piece of paper or not, many pundits no longer require their master’s say-so. They have long since surrendered their instinct of their own accord. Years of systematic propaganda are paying off more than even their masters have foreseen. When direct orders are no longer necessary in order for the lackeys to fall in line, you know you are in a world of trouble. Besides, history teaches us that when blind compliance becomes a Pavlovian response, the tyrant laughs in his fist with glee.

Meanwhile these mostly male versions of the Stepford Wives chatter on indefinitely about non-issues and trivialities, using every trick in the book to lie, cheat and deceive. In what kind of factory, one wonders, was this breed of machine assembled?

The overall response to Charlie Sheen’s “20 minutes with the President” carries a remarkably similar tune. Obviously reading off a prewritten script, the bulk of talking heads introduce the subject (if it even does) with character assassination on the person of Charlie Sheen while completely neglecting the questions raised in the fictional dialogue. As vehemently as the media miscreants attempt to attack the person, as careful they are to avoid the substance. This, in itself, is suspect. After all, they are being offered no less than 20 questions from which to choose- even if only to rebuke the implications of Sheen 20-point manifest. They have abandoned instead even the appearance of a substance-based news item. They would rather adopt the ways of the sniffing paparazzi, endlessly focussing on trifles, revealing in the process an extremely low regard for the audiences they profess to serve.

In the rare event of actual reporting on the questions raised by Sheen, they move to simplify them beyond recognition: “Sheen claims Bush blew up the towers” and other straw men arguments. These tactics from the gutter- combined with refined media methodology- are designed to perpetuate the entrancing of the sleeping giant. It becomes disturbingly difficult to catch one of these automatons in the act of actual reporting. Not even a faint light we discern between the thick walls of deceit intended to encapsulate the masses. Critical and independent thinking has obviously been thoroughly drilled out of the pundits, leaving behind nothing but a fanatic and anticipating willingness to deceive their audience. They concern themselves rather with adding licks of saliva to their carefully arranged hair dues as well as their arguments.


DailyRecord editor Fred Snowflack used the emotion-card to strangle dissent in his trash piece: “Conspiracy theorists insult the victims”: ‘(…) There is something incredibly distasteful about spreading fiction about Sept. 11. Cynicism about government, and its motives, is one thing. Suggesting that the 3,000 or so people killed on one of the darkest days in American history were somehow killed by their own government is an insult to their memory and an affront to their survivors.’ One of the comments on this vile little trifle points out the obvious: ‘The editor must be unaware of the fact that 170 million people in the 20th century were murdered by their own government’. But never mind the facts.

Fox-rodent Greg Gutfeld screamed on September 14th: ‘Damn, I wish the government would silence him or at least get him a haircut better suited for a middle-aged man.’

As we monitor the mainstream media, the feeling creeps up on us that we exist alongside the living dead. Were they always this way? What spell was put upon them, and by the hand of which sorcerer were they bewitched?

One takes the top-names of the media conglomerates and compares them to the Bilderberg guest list to know who the sorcerers are. As hard as it is to imagine, many of the most talented propagandists feigning outrage over Charlie Sheen’s questions, once used their gift in the pursuit of truth. Even a shameless charlatan like Bill O’Reilly practised true investigative journalism in the past, if you can believe it. The pit of hell, it seems, is filled with fallen angels. At some point in the course of their careers they have obviously been presented with a choice, either to say farewell to a promising career in entertainment, or to subscribe to the lie to further their career. You can rest assure that most of the talking heads you see railing against freedom, are the same who operate strictly within the well-defined parameters of tyranny set up by their corporate masters. They may be considered beyond repentance, deep as they have dug themselves in treachery, attempting to lure their audience in the same paradigm-prison they themselves are trapped in.

We are dealing with nothing less than a cult, celebrating cowardice while using the constitution for toilet paper. Riddled with its own rituals and progressions, this cult makes use of similar nods, hand signals and secret passwords associated with secret societies. Working tirelessly to bamboozle their underlings, as cults do, the mainstream media has shown its true colours by the unity of their (under)reporting and the lack of any investigative journalism.

The good news is that a growing number of people are no longer simply consuming the readymade food rations of propaganda. The large corporate outlets are seeing their numbers drop, although they continue to project a false image of infallibility. But it no longer holds up in court. The dam erected to shield the people from the truth is showing definite signs of cracks and is ready to break.
