MEDIA (The Jester in the Tyrant's Court ¹)
[back] Fascism  [back] The Cartels

[What To Think Network. The Fourth branch of the government. See Operation Mockingbird where 30% of the CIA budget goes on media operations! To see the mind control effect of doom and gloom news read this article.  The main control tool of Fascism.  News by corporate press release. The media sells and defends the Corporate (Fascist) agenda.  The last real investigation into a childhood vaccine to slip past the censors was by a Provincial US newspaper in 1984, the Fresno Bee DPT report. It is wall to wall celebrities and sport for Bread and Circus, and fake news.  Another media task is to rubbish what the Elite want to keep to themselves (by Experts and the likes of Richard Dawkins & CSICOP), such as Ley lines (an invention of the Romantics according to the Telegraph), Telepathy (see)--more here.  Still waiting for the first mention of Chemtrails and Orgonite.

"Everything you read in newspapers is absolutely true, except for that rare story of which you happen to have first-hand knowledge." - Erwin Knoll

"Media manipulation in the U.S. today is more efficient than it was in Nazi Germany, because here we have the pretense that we are getting all the information we want. That misconception prevents people from even looking for the truth." - Mark Crispin Miller
