“There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.
The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.”
Edward L. Bernays, Propaganda
“It’s not just America. The whole world has sort of turned muddy. By and large, the world is increasingly run by ignoramuses, wackos and psychotics. This was long before Donald Trump. But we’ve got more crazy people running the world now than ever.
I thought once Hillary called those people ‘deplorables’ it was all over. She was dead from that moment. She lost millions of votes on that by criticizing people who were considering an alternative to her.
I don’t think that Robert Mueller is all there. I more than think; I know more. The bottom line is they had the investigation. If I were the press, I would start writing about what the Democrats need to do. And if I were the Democrats, I’d start talking about what they are going to do to make America a better place for most people.
I think it’s the one reason a guy like Donald Trump ran. They understood where he was coming from. That Trump is just a blowhard. They laughed at him. They knew Trump doesn’t know what he’s talking about. But Trump wasn’t the same old big smile and a lot of good words. The Democrats have been going around saying, ‘We’re for the people, we’re for the little guy.’ And all they do is run to Wall Street for money. And the one guy that didn’t, Sanders, was sabotaged by the Democratic National Committee.
If I were the Democrats I would stop worrying about Donald Trump and start talking to the American people about jobs and health care.
What did these hacked messages from the DNC say, anyway? It was about cutting off money for Sanders. Everything that was leaked showed that the Democratic Party was working against the one guy who wasn’t running on campaign funds from the big corporations.”

And now for the Corporatist Captiol News…
“The speed of communications is wondrous to behold. It is also true that speed can multiply the distribution of information that we know to be untrue.”
Edward R. Murrow
“Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it.”
Laurence J. Peter
“We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.”
2 Corinthians 4:8-9

As to the last… context. How? Why?? A bit more scripture necessary.
2 Corinthians 4:5-10 KJB… “For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
That others may come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
