The Media

[Guest guest]

The Media

Information about and interpretation of current affairs is gained

exclusively through the media – newspapers, t.v. and radio.

Newspapers are presented as being independent or having a known

political leaning and t.v. is supposedly unbiased and independent.

This is simply not the case. Information about events come

from 'official sources' who can present the view that the Elite want

the public to accept. Alternatively, news stories are derived from

central news agencies (e.g. Reuters) who give everybody the same

story. Newcomers to a media company are expected to toe the

conventional line or suddenly their prospects become bleak.

Journalists who analyse and think independently are dangerous and

are few and far between.

 

This is not to suggest that every single journalist from the

boardroom down to the 'hack' is involved in some massive conspiracy

and cover up. Once the framework has been set up (which it

deliberately has been over the last few centuries) the system is

self-regulatory simply through 'market forces'. Running a newspaper

or television station is an expensive business which instantly

limits those organisations which can operate one. Such businesses

are obviously financially successful in the System, so have an

interest in maintaining the status quo. Opinions and stories which

challenge the establishment are therefore of no interest to these

companies and are viewed as subversive. The media industry is also

advertising-based with prices of newspapers kept below the

manufacturing costs by advertising income. Multinationals will not

support those newspapers/magazines which are viewed as 'anti-

business' so such publications are marginalised out of existence

simply by market forces. Advertiser-friendly media companies keep

their readership in a suitable 'buying' frame of mind by not being

controversial, not presenting 'difficult' articles or programmes.

The threat of withdrawal of advertising is generally sufficient to

ensure the media companies vigilantly filter the stories they

present but if one slips through, business organisations often

combine forces to pressurise editors into reviewing their content.

This is done through letters, law-suits and even parliamentary

bills. An example of these so-called 'flak machines' is Accuracy in

Media (AIM) a collection of corporate giants, including eight oil

companies, whose function is to maintain a corporate-friendly media

in the US.

 

A look at the board members of media companies is revealing about

their alleged independence. In America a large number of the

directors of NBC, CBS and ABC all have common involvement with

Rothschild/Rockefeller/Morgan companies, as well as being members of

the Council on Foreign Relations and Trilateral Commission. In

Britain, the Daily Telegraph is owned by the Hollinger group who

advisors/directors include Henry Kissinger, Lord Carrington,

Brzezinski and Lord Rothschild. The current chairman of N.M.

Rothschild, Evelyn de Rothschild, is on the board of the Daily

Telegraph. A former board member, Andrew Knight (Bil), is now

executive chairman of the 'rival' News International, which runs The

Times and the Sun, and which is funded by the Oppenheimers and the

Rothschilds. Regulatory bodies such as the Press Complaints

Commission also have links with the same people e.g. the chairman

Lord Wakeham who is a director of N.M. Rothschild.

 

Most people form their opinions on the basis of newspapers whose

political stance mirrors their own. As all media organisations are

owned by companies with the same interests and have their content

dictated by the advertisers and obtain their stories from the same

sources, all 'sides' of public opinion are easily manipulated. This

is used to divert attention away from the true agenda:

 

Investigators getting near to the truth are branded as anti-Semitic

so attention is focused away from their information onto their

apparent racism.

'Expose' books, such as Peter Wright's Spycatcher are publicly

opposed by those in government to give credence to their

revelations. Their 'exposure' of what are generally innocent people

are then believed more readily.

Sensitive information is released when overshadowed by another news

story, e.g. identity cards were announced by Michael Howard on the

day of the Loyalist cease-fire in Northern Ireland.

Libya has been blamed for the Lockerbie bombing (among other things)

to undermine Colonel Gaddafi, when all the evidence points to the

CIA and other intelligence agencies. The Libyan leader is, in fact,

one of the 'evil tyrants' the media so love to create as a

simplistic 'bad guy' at which the public can direct their animosity.

He is not exactly a saint but, in the 1980s, Gaddafi was responsible

for 14 deaths (mostly Libyans), as compared with the 50,000 corpses

at the feet of the regime in El Salvador – an administration

installed by the US with a US trained army.

Assassinations are blamed on a lone person with no affiliation to

any group. The murder of J.F. Kennedy, for example, was ascribed to

Lee Harvey Oswald (who was subsequently murdered himself by a 'lone

assassin') but investigations have shown that it could not have been

Oswald but it is much more likely that the American President was

removed by the intelligence agencies because he did not follow the

Elite game plan and was threatening to expose it by 'smashing the

CIA into a thousand pieces'.

'Choice'

Public opinion is sold the illusion of choice by maintaining groups

in apparent opposition to each other. Again, the majority will

believe that they are involved in a real battle for what they

genuinely believe to be correct, when in reality the funding and

support is derived from the same sources as their opposition. As

long as New World Order policies are being promoted it makes no

difference to the Elite whether a group is Jewish, anti-Jewish, Left

wing, Right wing, Christian, Moslem,Hindu etc.… it will be used while it

serves their purpose.

 

Another vital tool is instilling a belief that the goals the Elite

are striving towards are good and necessary things. This is often

achieved by creating a 'problem', which the public react against and

call for an official response. The 'solution' which is offered and

which is accepted on a wave of public support is the very thing the

Elite wanted in the first place. There are countless examples of

these but I shall cite just three:

 

The 'problem' of violent crime has elicited a wave of public feeling

in favour of increased police powers.

'New age' travellers were suddenly severely harassed by the police

and received considerable media attention. When they reacted against

their treatment an apparent 'problem' had been created which was met

with the 'solution' of the Criminal Justice Bill. This restriction

on personal freedom sailed through parliament and the media

spotlight was focused away from the travellers to firstly give the

impression of 'problem solved' and secondly, they had served their

purpose.

The Oklahoma Bomb in April 1995 in which 168 men, women and children

were killed was reported as being caused by a fertiliser bomb –

despite the absence of any fertiliser at the scene – planted by

a 'people's militia' group. In fact, the explosion was caused by a

barometric bomb which has a security level on a par with nuclear

weapon components. However public opinion had been mobilised against

the 'problem' of the 'people's militia' movement and consequently

accepted Clinton's 'solutions' of increased FBI powers to infiltrate

and attack these groups, the military enforcement of domestic laws,

and a media ban on so-called 'anti-government' extremists such as

the People's Militia who are fully aware of the workings of

America's secret government.

 

Good always prevails through positive application, whereas the bad

guys are hindered and slowed in their criminal endeavours through

having to cover-up their negative actions with lies to support lies.

This inevitably allows the truth to emerge.
