Pertinent Facts That The Mainstream
Media
Wouldn't Discuss in 2012
During
the Hitler dictatorship in Germany from the 1930's up to the
mid-40's, there was a branch of the government called "The
Ministry of Propaganda" that dished out a torrent of profane
distortions about Jewish people, and later the outcome of the war
itself. It was headed by a guy named Joseph Goebbels, who committed
suicide at the end of the war rather than face capture, which would
surely have been followed by a death sentence at the Nuremberg
Trials. Today in America, we have a similar position within the White
House staff that we call the Press Secretary, who can be seen
regularly on the evening news. He serves the same function, he just
has a far more innocuous title than "Propaganda Minister".
This person's job -- and I have noticed regular personnel changes --
is to spoon-feed the media the information du
joir of
the day. Everybody knows that the media is told what to say and how
to say it, and yet there a few protests about it. Today's message is
my small contribution towards demanding some truth from our news
sources. No more US Government propaganda please, we have all had a
bellyfull already!
For decades, the
mainstream media in the United States was accustomed to being able to
tell the American people what to think and how to think it.
Unfortunately for them, a whole lot of Americans are starting to
break free from that paradigm and think for themselves. A Gallup
survey from earlier this year found that 60 percent of all Americans
“have little or no trust” in the mainstream media. More people
than ever are realizing that the mainstream media is giving them a
very distorted version of “the truth” and they are increasingly
seeking out alternative sources of information. In the United States
today, just six giant media corporations control the mainstream
media. Those giant media corporations own television networks, cable
channels, movie studios, radio stations, newspapers, magazines,
publishing houses, music labels and even many prominent websites. But
now thanks to the Internet the mainstream media no longer has a
complete monopoly on the news. In recent years the “alternative
media” has exploded in popularity. People want to hear about the
things that the mainstream media doesn’t really want to talk about.
They want to hear news that is not filtered by corporate bosses and
government censors. They want “the truth” and they know that they
are not getting it from the mainstream media. That's also one of the
primary reasons why people are doing away with cable TV as I have.
It's not just the money saved from unsubscribing to cable TV, it's
the fact that everybody knows everything they are watching is a load
of BS.
We are watching a
media revolution happen, and many in the mainstream media are totally
freaking out about it. In fact, some in the mainstream media have
even begun publishing articles that mock the American people for not
trusting them. For example, a recent CNN article entitled “Still
‘paranoid’ after all these years” portrayed Americans that
don’t trust the media as paranoid conspiracy theorists that have
left rationality behind. Ever have the feeling you’re being
lied to by the news media, the authorities, the corporate world? That
somebody — or something — is out to get you? You’re not alone.
Welcome to 21st-century America. Look around. Trust is hitting
historic lows. Just a third of Americans have a favorable view of the
federal government, a decline of 31% since 2002, according to the Pew
Center for People and the Press. Gallup has Congress’ approval
rating is in the low 20s, after nearing single digits last summer.
And the news media aren’t much better off. “Negative opinions
about the performance of news organizations now equal or surpass
all-time highs on nine of 12 core measures the Pew Research Center
has been tracking since 1985,” a Pew report said this past summer.
The article goes on to make it sound like it is very irrational not
to trust the media, but in this day and age it is imperative that we
all learn to think for ourselves. Blindly trusting someone else to
do your thinking for you is very dangerous.
Anyone that does
not acknowledge that the mainstream media has an agenda is not being
honest with themselves. The mainstream media presents a view of the
world that is very favorable to their big corporate owners and the
big corporations that spend billions of dollars to advertise on their
networks. The mainstream media is the mouthpiece of the
establishment, and the worldview being pushed on the big networks is
going to be consistent with the economic, financial, political and
social goals of the establishment. The mainstream media loves to talk
about things that fit with that agenda, and they don’t like to talk
about things that suggest that there is something wrong with that
agenda. The following are 25 facts that the mainstream media doesn’t
really want to talk about right now:
#1
The mainstream media doesn’t really want to talk about the fact
that gun sales are absolutely skyrocketing in the aftermath of the
horrific tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
#2
They also don’t really want to talk about the fact that disarming
the population has resulted in some of the most horrific massacres in
human history.
1911 – Turkey
disarmed it’s citizens, and between 1915 – 1917 they murdered
1.5 million Armenians.
1929 – Russia
disarmed it’s citizens, and between 1929 – 1953 they murdered 20
million Russians.
1935 – China
disarmed it’s citizens, and between 1948 – 1952 they murdered 20
million Chinese.
1938 – Germany
disarmed it’s citizens, and between 1939 – 1945 they murdered 16
million Jews.
1956 – Cambodia
disarmed it’s citizens, and between 1975 – 1977 they murdered 1
million Educated people.
1964 – Guatamala
disarmed it’s citizens, and between 1964 – 1981 they murdered
100,000 Mayan Indians.
1970 – Uganda
disarmed it’s citizens, and between 1971 – 1979 they murdered
300,000 Christians.
#3
They don’t really want to talk about the fact that a bill allowing
for the “indefinite military detention of US citizens on American
soil” was passed by the U.S. Senate on Friday. Never mind that it's
completely unconstitutional (see the Bill of Rights 4th amendment,
among other places in the US Constitution).
#4
They don’t really want to talk about the fact that volcanoes all
along the Ring of Fire are roaring to life. It seems like a new
eruption is being reported every few days now. In fact, a red alert
has just been issued for a massive volcano that sits along the border
between Chile and Argentina.
#5
They don’t really want to talk about the fact that the use of
genetically engineered seeds has caused on explosion of new “super
weeds” that are incredibly difficult for farmers to kill.
#6
They don’t really want to talk about the fact that renowned trends
forecaster Gerald Celente is predicting a “financial disaster” in
2013.
#7
They don’t really want to talk about the fact that it is easier to
get into Harvard than it is to get a job as a flight attendant in
America today.
#8
They don’t really want to talk about the fact that nearly 400 TSA
employees have been fired for stealing from travelers since 2003. Our
tax dollars hard at work. Nice.
#9
They don’t really want to talk about the fact that giant
corporations such as Facebook are funneling gigantic amounts of money
through offshore banking havens such as the Cayman Islands in an
effort to avoid taxes.
#10
They don’t really want to talk about the fact that the U.S. dollar
is in danger of losing its status as the primary reserve currency of
the world. If this were to occur -- and it might -- financial
calamity would surely follow.
#11
They don’t really want to talk about the fact that president Barack
Obama has gone off to vacation in Hawaii while the rest of the nation
hopes for a fiscal cliff deal to get done. Of course the mainstream
media has to mention that he is on vacation because they always keep
track of what the president does, when in actuality they should be
doing a much better job keeping track of Wall Street speculators,
their bankers, and all their filty lucre.
#12
They don’t really want to talk about the fact that there are
government websites that give immigrants instructions about how to
come over to our country illegally and then apply for SNAP benefits
while formerly middle class American workers and their children
starve for lack of work.
#13
They don’t really want to talk about the fact that the U.S. economy
is losing millions of jobs to nations where it is legal to pay
workers slave labor wages. Actually, this process is already started
in the US as well, due to the fact that no one can live on a minimum
wage paycheck. The mainstream media is totally married to the one
world economic agenda that their corporate owners make so much money
from, and so they say nothing as a steady stream of businesses and
jobs continue to leave the country.
#14
They don’t really want to talk about the fact that the recent tax
increase is causing large numbers of wealthy individuals to consider
moving out of the state of California.
#15
They don’t really want to talk about the fact that hunger and
poverty are absolutely exploding in the United States at the same
time that they are telling us that the economy is “recovering”.
#16
They don’t really want to talk about the fact that North Korea now
has a three-stage rocket with enough range to potentially hit the
western United States.
#17
They don’t really want to talk about the fact that the United
States Postal Service is losing 25 million dollars a day and is on
the verge of financial collapse.
#18
They don’t really want to talk about the fact that our biggest oil
supplier in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, still kills people for
changing religions.
#19
They don’t really want to talk about the fact that political
correctness is taking over America. The truth is that the media does
not see any problem with that at all.
#20
They don’t really want to talk about the fact that nearly half a
million employees of the federal government are making more than
$100,000 a year.
#21
They don’t really want to talk about the fact that the birth rate
in the United States fallen to an all-time low. The elite are
actually absolutely thrilled that less babies are being born.
#22
They don’t really want to talk about the fact that violent crime in
the United States increased by 18 percent in 2011 and that many major
U.S. cities are seeing violent crime totally spiral out of control.
#23
They don’t really want to talk about the fact that Barack Obama
received more than 99 percent of the vote in more than 100 precincts
in Ohio on election day.
#24
They don’t really want to talk about the fact that during the first
four years of the Obama administration, the U.S. national debt grew
by about as much as it did from the time that George Washington took
office to the time that George W. Bush took office.
#25
They don’t really want to talk about the fact that the Federal
Reserve created the conditions for the last financial crisis and
their mismanagement of the economy has now brought us to the verge of
another horrible economic downturn. According to the mainstream
media, the Federal Reserve is “above politics” and should not be
criticized. Maybe the Federal Reserve should be nationalized so that
printing and coining money returns to the auspices of the US Treasury
like our Constitution specifies. All the US top-tier leadership needs
to do is return to the original Constitution. It's the perfect way to
wipe out the so-called national debt.
