Control of the Media and, by Extension, Human Perception

Guest Post by Etienne de la Boetie2

An Art of Liberty Foundation White Rose MUCHO GRANDE poster featuring a 2017 visualization from Swiss Propaganda Research showing how three organizations (The Council of Foreign Relations, the Bilderberg Group, and the Trilateral Commission have maneuvered their members into the key publisher, editor, and reporter positions at dozens of ostensible unaffiliated media organizations. Jefferey Epstein was a member of all three organizations.

In our previous article in this series: The Propaganda Matrix – How monopolized media and the algorithmic censorship of the DARPA Internet keep humanity brainwashed and enslaved, we feature a media ownership chart showing how six media companies running hundreds of subsidiaries give the population the illusion of choice and diversity-of-opinion. While that visualization illustrates the ownership structure of the media, including movies, television, book, and magazine publishers, theatres, and theme parks, it doesn’t explain how individual reporters, editors, and publishers are given their “marching orders” to widely cover up Government criminality and propagandize the public across hundreds of media platforms.

“If “government” really was an organized crime conspiracy to enslave and tax-farm the population, then surely someone would have reported on it in the media.” – Tell-a-Vision Watcher

If you want to rob the world, you have to have meetings! In this one-pager, we feature visualizations from Swiss Propaganda Research showing how just three organizations: The Bilderberg Group, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the TrilateralCommission, can coordinate the activities of hundreds of publishers, editors and journalists. The World Economic Forum, which appears to be an offshoot of the Council on Foreign Relations, also organizes “journalists” for regular private meetings in secure facilities. I am not suggesting that every person receives specific instructions, even though prominent journalists, including Udo Ulfkotte have admitted to publishing stories written by the CIA under his name and the L.A. Times’ Ken Dilanian, was outed as a CIA tool through an agency FOIA request.

Most honest journalists are fired (or even killed,) as was San Jose Mercury News reporter Gary Webb, Rolling Stone’s Michael Hastings, or Danny Casolaro) whenever they try to report on forbidden topics: CIA drug running, 9-11 Truth, the massacre and subsequent cover-up of 80 men, women, and children in Waco, the criminality of fractional reserve banking and Federal Reserve policy.

Another Swiss Propaganda Research visualization shows that the Council on Foreign Relations’ control doesn’t just include the media but Hollywood, the presidency, the military, members of Congress, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Federal Reserve Chairs, CIA Directors, and more!

Intelligent and immoral publishers, editors, and reporters like Bilderberg “journalists” Fareed Zakaria and George Stephanopoulos can quickly get themselves on the gravy train of six, seven or even eight-figure salaries by not just covering up the corruption but taking leadership positions in creating and disseminating propaganda that supports our manufactured and unnecessary multi-trillion dollar wars and the mass theft of trillions through “bailouts” and inflation.

The critical concept to understand is that if organized crime is stealing trillions of dollars through fractional reserve banking, unnecessary military spending, bank “bailouts,” and other criminality, then it is easy and cost-effective for them to spend a couple of hundred billion a year to buy up and control the media. Almost every single channel, nearly every single publication, including the couple of hundred people who are paid/allowed to talk “politics” and current events on the weaponized tell-lie-vision, are controlled.

So what percentage of mainstream news is real? I’m talking real news, not the weather or local events. I believe it’s less than 10%.

If by real you mean ‘not lying’, my estimate has dropped below 1% about two years ago… and asymptotically nearing zero.

I’ll be the contrarian and say that the vast majority of it is true.

Propaganda is the art of using the truth to tell lies.

If the whole truth is considered to be 100%, and 10% of that ‘whole truth’ comprises 90% of mainstream news; then mainstream news is technically 90% true.
Mix in 10% lies and muddy the water with clever wording, and you have a technically mostly true narrative that runs entirely counter to the impression you’d get if you got the other 90% of the ‘whole truth’ minus the lies and manipulative language.

Leaving out essential facts is lying [by omission.]

The only thing Red Dawn got wrong is that it would be fast, instead of slowmo.

It is an oblique way to call out Jewish influence and control of media.

I knew intuitively (probably seen Key Largo one to many times, though I only watched it once I do remember the conversation about prohibition) what was going on with the drug wars right out of high school when Reagan got in and they ramped up the drug war and thought then it was a good time to trim the hedge. Not that anybody else was interested, which seems to be the story of my life, nobody interested in keeping gov honest.
Also noticed how tv / entertainment, etc., changed BEFORE Reagan got in promoting the drug war. Have been a proponent against the drug wars ever since, and while I’m still alive, I have been threatened with death by some serious people over it at that (cops across the nation who didn’t like the idea of their rice bowl going away). Have likely paid for it in other ways for sure, though not exclusively over that, as I have been pretty vocal over lots of things the PTB would rather not have talked about over the years (no I’m not a flat earther).

Nice to see an update on subjects some of us have known since the Carter years. Find and read “We have Built Ourselves an Enemy” by Anthony Sutton. It gives a good time line back to Tammany Hall of these groups. I find a major player missing, The Order of Skull & Bones. Thanks for all your work…

The media’s toxicity runs wide and deep.

Linked here is a “feel good” video of an incident that occurred after a “homeless person” (though the “family” is now demanding “accountability”) got the shit beat out of him after punching a school teacher earlier. Turns out the gentleman who accosted the “homeless person” is the husband of the lady who was punched. Unanswered: WTF are the cops regarding that assault on the teacher?

About half the local media fails to mention the incident with the teacher, let alone the fact the gentleman is married to her. But they want us to understand how awful it is when a lawless parasite is held to accountability out on the sidewalk by vigilante justice.

The only mistake the gentleman made was not waiting until later on when the “homeless person” could be found hiding out down by the creek or under a bridge.

Does everyone agree that the Smith Mundt modernization Act in the 2012 NDAA basically legalized this phoney news nonsense. ?

The CFR network has controlled both the US govt and the media since WW2. Allen Dulles, who ran the CIA “Operation Mockingbird” was a CFR director for 40 years. The media barons were also CFR members, including Paley (CBS), Sarnoff (NBC), Luce (Time-Life), Meyer/Graham (WashPost) and Sulzberger (NYTimes). Same stuff, different decade.

Here’s the original article from swprs.org, including the charts and lists:
