In the Dark Ages, the land owners did not teach the peasants to read to keep them in ignorance.

Today the systems of thought used against you on a daily basis are only concerned with keeping you in a mentality of fear and distrust.

The system is devised to keep Americans divided among one another. Lou Dobbs has you hating the Mexicans, the 700 Club has you hating homosexuals and Islam, Fox News and talk radio will have you hating liberals.

"All the beliefs, habits, tastes, emotions, mental attitudes that characterize our time are really designed to sustain the mystique of the Party and prevent the true nature of present-day society from being perceived. Ownership of the print media made it easy to manipulate public opinion, and the film and radio carried the process further."

28. Reality Control

All the networks will use their lapel pin and their patriotism to persecute, oppress, or attack anyone whose ideas are contrary to the war machine and its system of false beliefs.

"... There will be no loyalty, except loyalty towards the Party. There will be no love, except the love of BIG BROTHER."

2. Big Brother

Then the media will go to racism or bigotry to keep the masses in line.

"Protesters denounce Fox News as racist "

"NEW YORK (Reuters) - Protesters gathered on Wednesday outside Fox News Channel to denounce what they claim is its racist campaign coverage, including a pundit who called Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama a terrorist. "

Protesters denounce Fox News as racist - Yahoo! News

What's the difference between the U.S. military electrocuting an arab's testes, and the police electrocuting you with a Taser?

As long as its done under the pretense of "Law and Order" anything goes, right?

The people if united are powerful.

The powers that be know this.

Keep them fighting amongst themselves and the people in control stay in control.

The purpose of the news today on TV is identical to that agenda of Rush Limbaugh.

Anybody opposed to illegal wars are traitors, cowards, etc.

Get you to blame the worlds ills on liberals.

Such as:

The economy collapses, Democrats did it.

Blame culture on single moms and homosexuals.

Blame societal breakdown on minorites and immigrants.

Let the show"Cops" do its weekly abuse of inner city denizens. Show them getting pummled. Put the minority face on crime. Let them do the "perp walk."

I like conspiracy theories. They make everything clear and simple. They tell you exactly who’s good and who’s bad and what’s true and what’s a big lie. They’re a shining beacon in a dark world, a rest-stop for the mind.

I’d like to thank you, theGhoul, for this warning about the plot of the conservative media. But first I’d like to know what happened to that other plot in the media, the one by all the liberal newpapers. I was really scared when I heard about it. I had to stop my subscription to the Washington Post.

I sure hope you can tell me the liberal plot is settled. I’d like to start reading the Washington Post again. It has better comic strips than the Wall Street Journal.

This is only indeed true in the US. In most other places the media focuses on republicans and how much they hate them.

The majority of the prominent media in America does the same. The op only concerns itself with Fox News and select religious groups.

Also, the racist coverage protest was complete bullshit. One person using the phrase "baby's momma" one time does not equal the network utilizing racism.

Actually, Fox pretty much shows how unbiased most news media in this country is. Everybody knows they are biased and nobody really listens to them. What scares me is when I see the major networks softballing Bush or already treating McCain like he walks on water.

Few people believe the media is controlled. I never understood how it could be done, until I learned about how the CFR has totally infiltrated the media, along with the CIA and other interlocking groups.

Carl Bernstein said in Rolling Stone magazine....

In 1953, Joseph Alsop, then one of America's leading syndicated columnists, went to the Philippines to cover an election. He did not go because he was asked to do so by his syndicate. He did not go because he was asked to do so by the newspapers that printed his column. He went at the request of the CIA.

Alsop is one of more than 400 American journalists who in the past twenty-five years have secretly carried out assignments for the Central Intelligence Agency, according to documents on file at CIA headquarters.

Some of these journalists' relationships with the Agency were tacit; some were explicit. There was cooperation, accommodation and overlap. Journalists provided a full range of clandestine services -- from simple intelligence gathering to serving as go-betweens with spies in Communist countries. Reporters shared their notebooks with the CIA. Editors shared their staffs. Some of the journalists were Pulitzer Prize winners, distinguished reporters who considered themselves ambassadors-without-portfolio for their country. Most were less exalted: foreign correspondents who found that their association with the Agency helped their work; stringers and freelancers who were as interested it the derring-do of the spy business as in filing articles, and, the smallest category, full-time CIA employees masquerading as journalists abroad. In many instances, CIA documents show, journalists were engaged to perform tasks for the CIA with the consent of the managements America�s leading news organizations.

The history of the CIA's involvement with the American press continues to be shrouded by an official policy of obfuscation and deception . . . .

The CIA and the Media** by Carl Bernstein* Rolling Stone

Many people will read this and just say ...."So what?"

Well, could there be any truth to the following quote?

"In March, 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, shipbuilding, and powder interests, and their subsidiary organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press of the United States.

"These 12 men worked the problem out by selecting 170 newspapers, and then began, by an elimination process, to retain only those necessary for the purpose of controlling the general policy of the daily press throughout the country. They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest newspapers. The 25 papers were agreed upon; emissaries were sent to purchase the policy, national and international, of these papers; an agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interest of the purchasers.

"This contract is in existence at the present time, and it accounts for the news columns of the daily press of the country being filled with all sorts of preparedness argument and misrepresentations as to the present condition of the United States Army and Navy and the possibility and probability of the United States being attacked by foreign foes.

"This policy also included the suppression of everything in opposition to the wishes of the interests served. The effectiveness of this scheme has been conclusively demonstrated by the character of stuff carried in the daily press throughout the country since March, 1915. They have resorted to anything necessary to commercialize public sentiment and sandbag the national congress into making extravagant and wasteful appropriations for the Army and Navy under the false pretense that it was necessary. Their stock argument is >that it is "patriotism." They are playing on every prejudice and passion of the American people."

SO WHAT?

So, what if, by chance this is true and the top 25 newspapers became controlled, surely there is no way the giant media companies of today could be controlled, is there?

I say all you have to do is spend 5 minutes and watch the following video and you will see how it not only "can be done", but it "is being done.

5 minutes is not enough time to go into detail, so if you like information presented short and sweet, here it is

5 Minute video..........

YouTube - CFR, Media Control and the New World Order

If anyone is interested, here are a couple more really good pieces covering the controlled media.....

Rockefeller & Global Mind Control

This page has a ton of good links....

Media Control

n 1983, 50 corporations controlled the vast majority of all news media in the U.S. At the time, Ben Bagdikian was called "alarmist" for pointing this out in his book, The Media Monopoly.

In 2004, Bagdikian's revised and expanded book, The New Media Monopoly, shows that only 5 huge corporations -- Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch's News Corporation, Bertelsmann of Germany, and Viacom (formerly CBS) -- now control most of the media industry in the U.S. General Electric's NBC is a close sixth.

Just for anyone who is truly interested in this topic.

Greetings and Felicitations,

Your kidding me. L. Ron Hubbard and the Illuminati. It amazes me that you wonder why people don't take what you write seriously.

I see your Illuminati and raise you: The Rainbow Conspiracy. Watch it. HAARP is coming for you.

Sincerely Yours,
C. David Neely

Did you watch the video?

I would say NO.

Yes, it begins with a single quote from L. Ron Hubbard. One single quote. Whoopdedoo. What did you do, see that one quote and then stop watching the video?

The video never mentions the word illuminati.

Although George Washington did mention the illuminati in one of his letters.

As to people taking me seriously, I really don't care what brainwashed morons think.

People are too lazy to read a few paragraphs of information at this forum, constantly whining about how my posts are too long.

Too lazy to read a few paragraphs from someone who has thousands of hours research.

So I guess Congressman Oscar Callaway was a conspiracy nut?

Sure, so was Senator Barry Goldwater, Congressmen Louis McFadden, Larry McDonald, as well as Rear Admiral Chester Ward, chief investigator of the Reece Committee Norman Dodd, Chief council for the Reece committee Rene Wormser and Clinton Mentor Carroll Quigley.

Yep, all of them were conspiracy whackos and I am just silly for even considering that what they told us might be the truth.

Yeah, you are right.

I should just be like everyone else and allow the t.v. to tell me what to think.

Jeesh.

Greetings and Felicitations,

You are correct. Anyone who give L. Ron Hubbard validity for anything becomes automatically suspect in my mind. There was the additional fact that all the related videos had to do with the Illuminati. The Illuminati are a historical fiction and everyone knows that the true power lies in the Reptilian Alien Overlords.

Sincerely Yours,

Greetings and Felicitations,


I counter your thousands of hours with my thousands of hours. The difference is that I spend my time learning about reality instead of learning about multileveled conspiracy theories. I would rather spend an hour reading technical paperes than spend five minutes reading conspiracies and trying to find some gleanings of actual facts.

I am well aware of the situation in the world. I know that governments cover stuff up and I know that corporations will take over if you let them. However, there is no masterplan for taking over the world despite the well-wished delusions of conspiracy theorist.


Sorry, but thats the way I roll. You can call it hiding and being a brain-washed moron but that I call it operating with a rational mind and refusing to be dragged into people who think the world is out to get them.

Sincerely Yours,

I know very little about the Illuminati, as it is difficult to find credible evidence on that group.

One of the few credible things I have ever come across was a letter from George Washington to someone who was concerned that the Illuminati had infiltrated Masonic lodges.

1785 President George Washington, in a letter written to the Reverend G. W. Snyder: "Reverend, Sir, it was not my intention to doubt that the doctrine of the Illuminati -- the principles of Jacobinism -- had not spread in the United States. On the contrary, no one is more satisfied of this fact than I am."

I had found a scan of the actual letter, if you would like to see it, I can find it again for you.

George Washington acknowledged the Doctrines of the Illuminati were spreading in United States (in Library of Congress)



This is almost all I know about the Illuminati.

I am just not very interested in any group for which there is little verifiable information. For this same reason I have done very little reading on the Free Masons.

You shouldn't judge a video by what "similar" videos are about.

You shouldn't judge the entire video from a single quote, either.

The video is so brief, too brief to go into much detail at all, but it helps show how the media is controlled.

Unbiased, or having a somewhat different bias?

You read crap.

I read real information.

If you ever want to compare what you and I have read, start a new thread, but I know you will not.

No one.

NO ONE.

NO ONE WILL EVER COMPARE WHAT THEY HAVE READ TO WHAT I HAVE READ.

Not now, not ever.

People are way too cowardly to ever go heads up against me.

I have never met a single person who could challenge me.

I never will.

Unless I meet Dr. Monteith, Dr. Cuddy, or a handful of true researchers.

The rest are a pathetic joke.

The rest wouldn't know the truth if it walked up and bit them in the ass.

Greetings and Felicitations,

Kind of like the person who posted the below.

Look, you and I are not going to see eye to eye on this simply because you support the surrender of US sovereignty. I will NEVER SUPPORT THE SURRENDER OF US SOVEREIGNTY. NOT NOW, NOT EVER. IT WILL MEAN THE DEATH OF FREEDOM. Do you know what freedom is? It is something which you would long for if a world government ever comes into being. People like you make me sick. You are willing to sell out freedom for all future generations of Americans, just because you think it is inevitable.

You know what. I wasted two hours this morning going through and reading your posts in various threads. You know what I learned. I learned that you are correct. To compare my research and your research are pointless because you are so irrationally, emotional that you are incapable of carrying on an anctual intelligent conversation without rambling into personal insults. Most of the time you sound like someone with bi-polar disorder who forgot to take their meds. Sometimes you post about how you really should start making concise posts and the next post is some tirade about how everyone else is a brainwashed, willfully ignorant moron because they don't accept your conspiracies.

We cannot have a meaningful conversation because your mind doesn't seem to have any meaning. In the future I will limit my responses to people who aren't at the mercy of raging emotionality. Hell, even Kinetic made more sense than you do. I just wanted you to know why I will not be responding to any more direct posts from you. Have a nice day. Remember to take your meds.

Sincerely Yours,
C. David Neely
