What if all media outlets were precisely honest=2C strictly factual=2C for= thright=2C and presented only accurate information?

Media sources modify facts to suit their advertising pocket books=2C polit= ical pursuits=2C geopolitical interests=2C and to manipulate social consci= entiousness to their favor. How do we respond when mainstream media source= s purport to present facts=2C but only facts run through a propaganda siev= e to sway public opinion? How do we respond when absolutely everything we= see and hear on mainstream news is a self-serving illusion with a subtext= to bombard you with advertising segments? Critical thinking is the (skeptical) analysis of available facts=2C eviden= ce=2C observations=2C and arguments to form a judgment or opinion. The nor= m is to question everything=2C verify facts=2C and analyze=2C to create on= e=E2=80=99s own rational conclusion. Absolutely everything in mainstream m= edia and the education system evades this process. The public is spoon-fed= what they are supposed to groupthink and what narrative they are allowed= to possess. Mika Brzezinski from MSNBC recently said that the media=E2=80=99s job is t= o control what people think--controlling what people think is a significan= t responsibility for intended exploitation. Mika complained that Elon Musk= =E2=80=99s purchase of the social media platform Twitter and his stated de= sire to eliminate the cancel culture and cultural and social biases was te= rrible for the media.

All-time great song by Jim Croce. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DQvwDohEEQ1E In coordination with large corporations=2C big-tech=2C and state actors=2C= and the mainstream media collectively works very hard to influence and sh= ape hegemonic narratives. They work tirelessly to silence opposing opinion= s. They also deny the existence of opposing opinions to legitimize their i= ncumbency and nation/state-building efforts. Also=2C the administrative st= ate has the self-subscribed mandate to continuously grow and increase intr= usions. Status Quo is the objective. The real bad guys where public attention is most needed are: 1. Poor federal and state governance=2C 2. Growth in the size of governments=2C 3. Government Interference in Personal Lives=2C 4.

Uncontrolled immigration=2C which creates a new welfare and subsidize= d housing cohort. 70% of incoming illegal immigrants go on welfare=2C free= medical care=2C and subsidized housing. Nothing is free. The taxpayers a= re responsible for this cost. The top 1% of the economic spectrum now has 60% of all U.S. Wealth. The t= op two financial corporations=2C Blackrock ($9.6 trillion) and Vanguard ($= 7.2 trillion)=2C combined $16.6 trillion under management=2C while the ent= ire gross domestic product is $23 trillion. The government doctors over all U.S. financial problems by issuing unlimit= ed amounts of fiat currency into the system=2C which has created the bigge= st Ponzi scheme that the world has ever known. =E2=80=9CThe bubble of eve= rything=E2=80=9D is pervasive. And to think the U.S. government has no int= ention of ever paying the debt back but merely eroding the value by system= atically controlled inflation. Systemic dollar debasement is preplanned. The result is that the bottom 99= % of folks in the U.S. financial spectrum are struggling to keep up. How about the government borrowing from future generations to pay for toda= y=E2=80=99s binge spending priorities such as Build Back Better=2C Faster= =2C and Quicker? How about paying off your political friends to ensure rel= iable votes? How about the safety-net Social Security Trust Funds for cur= rent and future retirees which have been misappropriated=2C and no provisi= ons have been made to pay forward the costs of retirees? Many retirees who= expected a comfortable retirement are now forced to continue working. The U.S. Government should immediately cancel its war against its people.= Will It happen just because one person suggested it=2C =E2=80=9CNO=E2=80= =9D? We could have a community meeting to list one hundred practical priorities= : retire national debt=2C increase living standards for everyone=2C make= our streets safe=2C rein in medical tyranny=2C and allow the U.S. to rega= in dignity and respect worldwide. But none of these improvements would be= implemented because national and world Oligarchs=2C Mega-Corporations=2C= Techno Fascist=2C and medical establishments will not see significant pro= fits in the changes. Since they control the government=2C nothing will hap= pen. The (cartels) controls the government through lobbying=2C donations= =2C and planting principal corporate officers into top government employme= nt positions. Number one change out of the one hundred on the list of practical solution= s is that unless the Federal Government balances cash coming in from all f= orms of taxation with all forms of operating expenses going out all Execut= ive Branch and Congress members will not get paid. The government should b= e forced to balance the budget. The American people have wised up to the reality that the current governme= nt is not about how to raise standards of living and expand the concept of= individual freedom for all. Historical freedoms were about: 1. Of the People=2C 2. By the People=2C 3. For the People. President Lincoln borrowed this now famous three-part phrase. In 1384=2C J= ohn Wycliff wrote in the prologue to his transaction of the Bible. =E2=80= =9CThe Bible is for the Government of the People=2C by the People=2C and f= or the People.=E2=80=9D The three-part phrase has now been copied by many= politicians. The folks understand that the concept of governance has changed. Governan= ce has changed: 1. Stick it to the people=2C 2. Manipulate the people=2C 3. Take it from the people=2C 4. Persecute people who resist. The current system of governance is especially harsh against people who ca= n think critically and can create their own narratives. The U.S. Governme= nt currently has the greatest propaganda machine in the history of the wor= ld. Awareness that the mainstream media=2C social media=2C technocrats=2C= and the government constantly attempts to sway public opinion may result= in you becoming suspect of wrongdoing. We are expected to remain unaware= and submissive. Recognition of deceptive propaganda techniques and the a= ctive rejection of same should become a national pushback mantra. Reject t= hem all. Let=E2=80=99s work together to regain our country=2C constitutional rights= =2C and our freedoms.

Each of us i= s fully capable of forming opinions about ourselves=2C family=2C and life= experiences. The education of state=2C national=2C and world even= ts and politics that we receive from mainstream media outlets dramatically affects the outcome.

What if all media outlets were precisely honest=2C strictly factual=2C for= thright=2C and presented only accurate information? If truth were the norm= =2C reading and listening to the news would allow us to develop a well-tho= ught-out and reasonable frame of reference. Critical thought and rational= outcomes would be the norm. The American way of life would be more honest= and rational. Mutual trust would be reestablished.

A truthful media is appealing=2C although illusionary. We could connect fa= cts=2C identify exaggerations=2C and outright lies to form thoughts and de= velop our frame of reference.

A rational frame of reference cannot be developed when we are cons= tantly bombarded by propaganda-based lies and illusions from the main stre= et media.  The public is steered like a heard of obedient cattle anxi= ous for the next feeding session.

Media sources modify facts to suit their advertis= ing pocket books=2C political pursuits=2C geopolitical interests=2C and to= manipulate social conscientiousness to their favor. How do we re= spond when mainstream media sources purport to present facts=2C but only facts run through a propaganda sieve to sway publi= c opinion?  How do we respond when absolutely everything we= see and hear on mainstream news is a self-serving illusion with a subtext= to bombard you with advertising segments?

Critical thinking is the (skeptical) analysis of available facts=2C eviden= ce=2C observations=2C and arguments to form a judgment or opinion. The nor= m is to question everything=2C verify facts=2C and analyze=2C to create on= e=E2=80=99s own rational conclusion. Absolutely everything in mainstream m= edia and the education system evades this process. The public is spoon-fed= what they are supposed to groupthink and what narrative they are allowed= to possess.

Mika Brzezinski from MSNBC recently said= that the media=E2=80=99s job is to control what= people think--controlling what people think is a significant res= ponsibility for intended exploitation. Mika complained that Elon Musk=E2= =80=99s purchase of the social media platform Twitter and his stated desir= e to eliminate the cancel culture and cultural and social biases was terri= ble for the media.  His stated objective is to convert the venue into= an unbiased free speech platform.

Mika=E2=80=99s quote: =E2=80=9CThe dangerous edges here are that h= e is trying to undermine the media=2C trying to make up his own facts=2C a= nd it could be that while unemployment and the economy worsen=2C he could= have undermined the message so much that he can control exactly what p= eople think.  That is our job.=E2=80=9D  Her co-host=2C Joe<= /strong> Scarborough=2C replies=2C =E2=80=9CYeah.=E2=80=9D<= /strong>

Even CNN =E2=80=9Cmedia analyst=E2=80=9D David Zurawik proclaimed that Musk is =E2=80=9Cdangerous=E2=80=9D and should not be allowed to rest= ore free speech on the Twitter platform.

=E2=80=9CThere=E2=80=99s a bigger problem here about how we=E2=80= =99re going to control the channels of communications in this country=2C= =E2=80=9D

=E2=80=9CYou need regulation. You cannot let these guys contro= l discourse in this country=2C or we are headed to hell=2C=E2=80=9D

The proposition that CNN may not be able to dictate what the Am= erican people should hear or believe is a w= ake-up call.  Do we need media to help= us interpret what is real=2C or is it strictly propaganda?
 
Six large media corporations control ninety percent of everything= we watch=2C read=2C or listen to.  Comcast= =2C Disney=2C AT&T=2C Sony=2C Fox=2C and Paramount Global control the= media.   These media outlets very tightly control everything th= at is disseminated. They disseminate ideological and well-thought-out prop= aganda=2C always with an advertising agenda and profit motive.&nbs= p;  The pursuit of advertising dollars is paramount.=

Investigative journalism and potentially newsworthy stories must pass thro= ugh a tightly controlled sieve for corporate conditional acceptance. = Be =E2=80=9Cdamned=E2=80=9D with truth and what is best for the public. W= ith the new wonk ideology so pervasive=2C it is no wonder that society doe= s not entirely meltdown.

Big tech also participates in an ideological-driven =E2=80=9Cpropa= ganda machine and cancel culture.=E2=80=9D Faceb= ook=2C Twitter=2C Google=2C Microsoft=2C and others use algorithms to dete= rmine whether your content is acceptable to them.  Accept any means o= f conformance to the hegemonic narrative=2C or your account will be disabl= ed=2C canceled=2C or spanked for =E2=80=9Cspreading disinformation= =2E=E2=80=9D  =E2=80=9CConform to the approved narrati= ve=2C=E2=80=9D or you will become isolated and considered an outsider or a= =E2=80=9Cdomestic terrorist.=E2=80=9D

Manipulation of public opinion and strategic propaganda programs h= ave been around since the inception of this country. Here is an e= xcellent article.

https://ww= w.zerohedge.com/political/psychology-manipulation-6-lessons-master-propaga= nda

Big tech has transformed into a collectivist monopoly by becoming= the long arm of the U.S. government. Below is another excellent= article on the subject.

https://ww= w.lewrockwell.com/2022/04/no_author/big-techs-cancel-culture-love-affair/<= /a>

I believe that the =E2=80=9Ccancel culture=E2=80=9D and the =E2=80= =9Cwoke culture=E2=80=9D are currently gasping for their last breaths=2C a= nd both will shortly be dead ducks. The American public has been aw= akened. Pre-scripted craziness designed for control=2C manipulation=2C and= removing individual sovereignty are now opposed by the majority.=

https://ww= w.zerohedge.com/political/10-ways-information-shapers-have-infiltrated-our= -institutions

Why do you suppose that mainstream media has become so manipulative? Is it= because they desire to create emotional anxiety and fear? Is the real pur= pose for control and advertising dollars?  Focusing on the = =E2=80=9Cpretend bad guys=2C=E2=80=9D the media will redirect pub= lic attention away from the =E2=80=9Creal bad guys.=E2=80=9D Mainstream media is quick to focus on =E2=80=9CTrump=2C Putin=2C Ukrai= ne=2C pandemics=2C vaccines that are not real vaccines=2C booster shots=2C= racial Inequities=2C gender inequities=2C rising oceans=2C and climate ch= ange.=E2=80=9D It reveals how the media dropped the stale 24/7 news pandem= ic narrative when the new bad guy on the block=2C Putin=2C showed up at th= e appropriate time. Bad=2C Bad=2C Leroy Brown (Putin) is back in town just= in time to take the focus off the phony pandemic. All-time great song by= Jim Croce.

In coordination with large corporations=2C big-tech=2C and state actors=2C= and the mainstream media collectively works very hard to influence and sh= ape hegemonic narratives. They work tirelessly to= silence opposing opinions. They also deny the existence= of opposing opinions to legitimize their incumbency and nation/state-buil= ding efforts. Also=2C the administrative state has the self-subsc= ribed mandate to continuously grow and increase intrusions.  = Status Quo is the objective.

The real bad guys where public attention is most needed a= re:

    =09
  1. Poor federal and state governance= =2C
    2. =09
  2. Growth in the size of governments= =2C
    3. =09
  3. Government Interference in Persona= l Lives=2C
    4. =09
  4. People subjected to constant propa= ganda=2C
    5. =09
  5. Police State=2C
    6. =09
  6. Abusive and exploitive Regulations= =2C
    7. =09
  7.  Inflation=2C
    8. =09
  8.  High federal=2C state=2C and= local taxation=2C
    9. =09
  9.  Digitalization of Everything= =2C
    10. =09
  10.  Medical establishment tyrann= y=2C
    11. =09
  11.  Techno tyranny for surveilla= nce=2C
    12. =09
  12.  Education establishment tyra= nny creating compliant and submissive students=2C
    13. =09
  13.  Loss of individual freedoms= =2C
    14. =09
  14.  Loss of personal sovereignty= =2C
    15. =09
  15.  Uncontrolled immigration=2C= which creates a new welfare and subsidized housing cohort. 70% of incomin= g illegal immigrants go on welfare=2C free medical care=2C and subsidized= housing. Nothing is free.  The taxpayers are responsible for this co= st.
The top 1% of the economic spectrum now has 60% of all U.S. Wealth. = The top two financial corporations=2C Blackrock ($9.6 trillion) and Vangu= ard ($7.2 trillion)=2C combined $16.6 trillion under management=2C while t= he entire gross domestic product is $23 trillion.

The government doctors over all U.S. financial problems by issuing unlimit= ed amounts of fiat currency into the system=2C which has created the bigge= st Ponzi scheme that the world has ever known.  =E2=80=9CThe= bubble of everything=E2=80=9D is pervasive. And to think the U.S= =2E government has no intention of ever paying the debt back but merely erod= ing the value by systematically controlled inflation.

Systemic dollar debasement is preplanned. The result is that the bottom 99= % of folks in the U.S. financial spectrum are struggling to keep up.

How about the government borrowing from future generations to pay for toda= y=E2=80=99s binge spending priorities such as Build Back Better=2C Faster= =2C and Quicker? How about paying off your political friends to ensure rel= iable votes?  How about the safety-net Social Security Trust Funds fo= r current and future retirees which have been misappropriated=2C and no pr= ovisions have been made to pay forward the costs of retirees? Many retiree= s who expected a comfortable retirement are now forced to continue working= =2E

The U.S. Government should immediately cancel its war against its= people. Will It happen just because one person suggested it=2C =E2=80=9CN= O=E2=80=9D?

We could have a community meeting to list one hundred practical priorities= :  retire national debt=2C increase living standards for everyone=2C= make our streets safe=2C rein in medical tyranny=2C and allow the U.S. to= regain dignity and respect worldwide.  But none of these improvement= s would be implemented because national and world Oligarchs=2C Mega-Corpor= ations=2C Techno Fascist=2C and medical establishments will not se= e significant profits in the changes. Since they control the gove= rnment=2C nothing will happen.  The (cartels) controls the government= through lobbying=2C donations=2C and planting principal corporate officer= s into top government employment positions.

Number one change out of the one hundred on the list of practical solution= s is that unless the Federal Government balances cash coming in from all f= orms of taxation with all forms of operating expenses going out all Execut= ive Branch and Congress members will not get paid. The government should b= e forced to balance the budget.

The American people have wised up to the reality that the= current government is not about how to raise standards of living and expa= nd the concept of individual freedom for all.  Historical freedoms we= re about:
    =09
  1.  Of the People=2C =09
  2.  By the People=2C =09
  3.  For the People.
President Lincoln borrowed this now famous three-part phrase. In 1384=2C J= ohn Wycliff wrote in the prologue to his transaction of the Bible. =E2=80= =9CThe Bible is for the Government of the People=2C by the People=2C and f= or the People.=E2=80=9D The three-part phrase has now been copied by many= politicians.

The folks understand that the concept of governance has changed.  Gov= ernance has changed:
    =09
  1.  Stick it to the people=2C
    2. =09
  2.  Manipulate the people=2C
    3. =09
  3.  Take it from the people=2C
    4. =09
  4.  Persecute people who resist.=   

The current= system of governance is especially harsh against people who can think cri= tically and can create their own narratives.  The U.S. Government cur= rently has the greatest propaganda machine in the history of the world. Aw= areness that the mainstream media=2C social media=2C technocrats=2C and th= e government constantly attempts to sway public opinion may result in you= becoming suspect of wrongdoing. We are expected to remain unaware and sub= missive.  Recognition of deceptive propaganda techniques and the acti= ve rejection of same should become a national pushback mantra. Reject them= all.

Let=E2=80=99s work together to regain our country=2C constitutional rights= =2C and our freedoms.

Thank You
