Everything That’s Wrong With the Mainstream Media and Finance in One Picture

It’s hard to recall a more despicable and widespread public-relations effort to transform the image of an obvious villain.

Of course, I’m referring to the mainstream media’s treatment of Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF).

It’s reminiscent of the movie Batman Returns, where a corrupt media tries to polish the image of the repugnant criminal Oswald Cobblepot—better known as the Penguin.

SBF founded FTX in 2019. The company seemed to come out of nowhere to become one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges in mere months.

How did this strange newcomer—who didn’t know much about Bitcoin—suddenly become the so-called “JP Morgan of Crypto?”

Powerful people in finance, the media, and the government all had a hand in FTX’s meteoric rise. So the company was clearly at the nexus of something important—though the whole picture is not exactly clear at this point.

Simply put, FTX was a cesspool. Continue reading “Everything That’s Wrong With the Mainstream Media and Finance in One Picture”

The Poison That We Read: MSM Taking Their Bias to a New Level with SCOTUS Hearings Coverage

Being married to a career journalist is a real advantage when you are a talk show host/writer always on the lookout for trophy-size examples of poisonous propaganda disguised as “news”. True, the media landscape is littered with Fake News. But the truly deadly “stories” are those, like copperhead snakes, that blend perfectly with their surroundings and strike when you’re totally off-guard. BAM! Another brain cell of Reason falls victim to the venom of lies, damn lies, and prejudice. The most deadly are those that slither in without the fanfare of attribution; these reptiles have no name.

Today she found this one: “Black Women Feel Sting of Jackson Hearings”… Take a few moments to slog through this POS. I’ll be here when you’re finished throwing up….

TRANSCRIPT OF TRUMPS GRIDIRON DINNER SPEECH

Trump is not much of a comedian. Because of that, this is a bit of a slog but it gets better as it goes on and he gets a few good zingers off. I’d have loved to have seen a video of the faces in the crowd….mostly Operation Mockingbird print media propagandists……er….I mean journalists. (wink, wink)

Transcript of President Trump Speech During Gridiron Dinner…

[Transcript] “Well, thank you very much. It’s an honor to be here and, I must tell you, that Melania and I are really thrilled. We really looked forward to this. … I didn’t know what to expect, but it’s really quality people … quality people. So, thank you very much.

Its been really another calm week at the White House. We finally have it running like a fine-tuned machine. Its fine-tuned. Its a beautiful piece of work. … But before I get started, I wanted to apologize for arriving a little bit late. You know, we were late tonight because Jared could not get through security. … Ivanka, you’ve got to do something, … Jared but I will tell you, hes a good guy. He has suffered. He is a great guy he really is.

I know the Gridiron is really an old tradition in Washington, been around a long time, and one that’s important to many of you in the media. So, I was very excited to receive this invitation and come here and ruin your evening in person. … My staff was concerned heading into this dinner that I couldn’t do self-deprecating humor. They were worried about it. They said, Can you do this? And I told them not to worry.

PRESIDENT TRUMP’S EXECUTIVE ORDERS

These three Executive Orders all tie together and a fourth EO is on the way that is being portrayed as a bombshell will further build on these three. Isn’t it amazing how these EO’s are getting NO traction in the MSM? I wonder why that might be.

CALLING ALL READERS OF THE BURNING PLATFORM

I would like to implore ALL readers of The Burning Platform to join the ongoing and expanding MEME WAR. You don’t need to create any memes although I know that some of you have some serious talents in this regard.

As most of you know, Q, real or not, has asked that people create and distribute memes to red-pill the public in order to ease the shock that many Americans are sure to experience when they learn that their entire lives have been based on lies and the details of memogate, pizzagate and numerous other previously hidden activities of the deep state are revealed.

LIES, LIES & OMG MORE LIES

“There are three types of lies — lies, damn lies, and statistics.” – Benjamin Disraeli

Every month the government apparatchiks at the Bureau of Lies and Scams (BLS) dutifully announces inflation is still running below 2%. Janet Yellen then gives a speech where she notes her concern inflation is too low and she needs to keep interest rates near zero to save humanity from the scourge of too low inflation. I don’t know how I could survive without 2% inflation reducing my purchasing power.

This week they reported year over year inflation of 1.9%. Just right to keep Janet from raising rates and keeping the stock market on track for new record highs. According to our beloved bureaucrats, after they have sliced, diced, massaged and manipulated the data, you’ve experienced annual inflation of 2.1% since 2000. If you believe that, I’ve got a great real estate deal for you in North Korea on the border with South Korea.

“We’re Coming For You”: AP Accuses NRA Of “Inciting Violence” Against Journalists

Tyler Durden's picture

In a series of videos released earlier this month, the National Rifle Association declared war on mainstream media and their “globalists masters”, a sign of the group’s transformation into an advocate for conservative causes beyond protecting the second amendment.

Predictably, the Associated Press is not happy. In a story about the new campaign – which debuted on the NRA’s NRATV, a web-video platform run by the association – the AP accused the NRA of employing dangerous rhetoric that risked inciting violence against journalists.

CONSPIRACY OR CHAOS?

“The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory is that conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is actually chaotic. The truth is that it is not The Iluminati, or The Jewish Banking Conspiracy, or the Gray Alien Theory. The truth is far more frightening – Nobody is in control. The world is rudderless.” – Alan Moore

Alan Moore, the renowned graphic novel writer, and author of the dystopian classic V for Vendetta, politically identifies as an anarchist. His view that all political states are an outgrowth of anarchy, with the biggest gang taking control and dictating how things will be run, is manifested in V for Vendetta. As an anarchist, you can understand why he is doubtful of conspiracy theories and an all-powerful entity controlling the world. He believes in a chaotic world competing gangs position themselves to gain power and control.

“We live in a badly developed anarchist situation in which the biggest gang has taken over and have declared that it is not an anarchist situation – that it is a capitalist or a communist situation. But I tend to think that anarchy is the most natural form of politics for a human being to actually practice.”- Alan Moore

The Guy Fawkes mask from V for Vendetta has been adopted by anarchist groups around the world, including: Anonymous, WikiLeaks, and the Occupy protestors. Moore’s positive view of the Occupy movement was based on his belief ordinary people had the right to reclaim what had been taken from them by criminal bankers. The initial impetus for the Occupy protests was the destruction of Main Street USA by Wall Street sociopaths, who not only escaped prosecution for their crimes, but were bailed out by the taxpayers they had pillaged and further enriched as captured politicians enabled them to get even bigger.
