Ben
het niet geheel eens met de kop van dit bericht, echter het hieronder opgenomen Engelse
artikel met de kop die zo ongeveer dezelfde strekking heeft, is een
uitstekend artikel waarin de macht van de media aan de kaak wordt
gesteld.
Het
artikel van Caitlin Johnstone begint met de rel die in de VS ontstond
rond de presentator van MSNBC Joy (-Ann) Reid. Deze presentator
fantaseert er af en toe graag op los en heeft in het verleden al heel
wat zeer foute uitspraken gedaan. Johnstone is daar verder niet zo in
geïnteresseerd, maar wel in het feit dat de top van MSNBC deze presentator keer op keer de handen boven het hoofd houdt…………
Het
is niet moeilijk teksten op te lezen voor tv, wel is het moeilijk om
dag in dag de boel te belazeren en te manipuleren ten gunste van een
kleine groep geprivilegieerden, aldus verwoordt Johnstone ‘het werk’ van Reid……. (al moet ik zeggen dat het niet zo moeilijk is om te liegen en bedriegen, zeker als je ziet hoeveel reguliere mediaorganen zich hier schuldig aan maken…) Dezelfde Reid maakt iedereen af
in de media die ter linkerzijde van Hillary Clinton staat en noemt
zichzelf desondanks ‘links…’ ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! (Reid zou zo bij de PvdA aan kunnen sluiten!)
Voorts
stelt Reid dat niemand heeft geprofiteerd van Wikileaks, behalve
Rusland dan….. ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Ja ik lach wel, maar dergelijke onzinverhalen vindt je overal in de reguliere westerse (massa-) media, ook in ons
land. De grootste kul wordt met een serieus gezicht keer op keer
opgelepeld en lullig genoeg heeft dit een grote invloed op de
westerse bevolkingen dat hoor je pas goed als je de reacties onder
krantenberichten leest of inbellers op een actualiteitenprogramma
hoort praten. Negen van de tien redeneren vanuit de valse
informatie die hen dag in dag uit wordt voorgeschoteld (op een manier die vergeleken kan worden met hersenspoelen)…….
Bovendien is het wel erg wrang om te stellen dat Rusland baat heeft bij Wikileaks, als je ziet hoe Rusland wordt gedemoniseerd vanwege vermeende manipulaties van o.a. de presidentsverkiezingen in de VS, waar Rusland zelfs werd beschuldigd van het lekken van VS overheidsdocumenten naar Wikileaks……. Wat een idioot moet je zijn om te denken dat Rusland profiteert van de hysterische anti-Russische propaganda in het westen, neem alleen al de sancties die op valse gronden zijn genomen tegen dit land……
In feite zou een groot deel van de wereld moeten profiteren van Wikileaks, immers in de documenten van Wikileaks valt te lezen hoe smerig de spelletjes van de VS op het wereldtoneel zijn. Jammer genoeg doet bijna niemand iets met deze documenten en blijft men de meer dan valse, fascistische en uiterst gewelddadige VS buitenlandpolitiek door dik en dun steunen……
Terug naar de claim dat wie het nieuws controleert, de wereld controleert: echter voor het controleren van de wereld is ‘iets’ meer nodig dan de reguliere (massa-) media, zoals het militair-industrieel complex, de geheime diensten (aan wie de hiervoor aangehaalde media lippendiensten bewijzen) en de financiële wereld (beter gezegd: financiële maffia), ofwel deep state…..
En
dan durft men in die reguliere media, bijna zonder uitzondering in
handen van miljonairs/multimiljonairs en investeringsgroepen, te
spreken over fake news (nepnieuws) en manipulatie door sociale media…….
Dezelfde media die een enorm aantal fake news berichten de wereld in hebben gestuurd en sturen, neem alleen al de berichtgeving van die media in aanloop van en tijdens de illegale oorlogen die de VS deze eeuw is begonnen……..
Lees
het verhelderende artikel van Caitlin Johnstone (en vertelt het ajb
verder, het is de hoogste tijd dat de macht van de reguliere media
voorgoed wordt gebroken en het volk de waarheid wordt verteld!):
Whoever
Controls the Narrative, Controls the World

(CJ Opinion) — MSNBC
host Joy Reid still has a job. Despite blatantly lying
about time-traveling hackers bearing
responsibility for bigoted posts a decade ago in her
then-barely-known blog, despite her reportedly sparking
an FBI investigation on
false pretenses, despite her colleagues at MSNBC being completely
fed up with
how the network is handling the controversy surrounding her, her
career just keeps trundling forward like a bullet-riddled zombie.
To
be clear, I do not particularly care that Joy Reid has done any of
these things. I write about war, nuclear escalations and the
sociopathy of US government agencies which kill millions of people; I
don’t care that Joy Reid is or was a homophobe, and I don’t care
that she lied to cover it up. The war agendas that MSNBC
itself promotes
on a daily basis are
infinitely worse than either of these things, and if that isn’t
obvious to you it’s because military propaganda has caused you
to compartmentalize yourself
out of an intellectually honest understanding of what war is.
What
is interesting to me, however, is the fact that Reid’s bosses
are protecting
her career so
adamantly. Both by refusing to fire her, and by steering
the conversation into
being about her controversial blog posts rather than the fact that
she told a spectacular lie in an attempt to cover them up, Reid is
being propped up despite this story constantly re-emerging and making
new headlines with new embarrassing details, and despite her lack of
any discernible talent or redeeming personal characteristics. This
tells us something important about what is going on in the world.
Joy Reid is dealing with a new controversy. MSNBC is backing her again. bit.ly/2LdeaK5
It
is not difficult to find someone to read from a teleprompter for
large amounts of money.
What
absolutely is difficult
is finding someone who is willing to deceive and manipulate to
advance the agendas of the privileged few day after day. Who else
would be willing to spend all day on Twitter smearing everyone to the
left of Hillary Clinton while still claiming to stand on the
political left? Who else would advance the point-blank
lie about
“17 intelligence agencies” having declared Russia guilty in US
election meddling months after that claim had been famously and
virally debunked?
Who else would
publicly claim that
Edward Snowden’s NSA leaks did not benefit anyone besides Russia?
Who else could oligarchs
like Comcast CEO Brian L Roberts,
whose company controls
MSNBC,
count on to consistently advance his agendas?
While
it’s easy to find someone you can count on to advance one
particular lie at one particular time, it is difficult to find
someone you can be absolutely certain will lie for you day after day,
year after year, through election cycles and administration changes
and new war agendas and changing political climates. A lot of the
people who used to advance perspectives which ran against the grain
of the political orthodoxy at MSNBC like Phil
Donahue, Ed
Schultz and Dylan
Ratigan have
vanished from the airwaves never to return, while reporters who
consistently keep their heads down and toe the line for the
Democratic establishment like Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid
are richly rewarded and encouraged to remain.
The
disempowered want change; those in power want predictability and
consistency. The more you can guarantee predictability and
consistency to those in power, the more those in power will reward
you.
Those
who report the news and shape public narratives are of particular
interest to US oligarchs, who bought up the old media long ago and
are doing everything in their power to secure influence over the new
media as well. Pundits like Joy Reid are some of their most valuable
assets, and they protect those assets accordingly. Because whoever
controls the narrative controls the world.

The Council on Foreign Relations is a massively influential think tank with members in the leadership of pretty much every significant media outlet in America. In late April it held a conference titled Political Disruptions: Combating Disinformation and Fake News in which a man named Richard Stengel told the audience that it is necessary for the US government to propagandize its citizens. Stengel is the former managing editor of Time Magazine, a position he vacated to go and work for the US State Department. Yes, really.
“Basically,
every country creates their own narrative story and, you know, my old
job at the State Department was what people used to joke as the
‘chief propagandist’ job,” Stengel told
the CFR audience.
“We haven’t talked about propaganda… I’m not against
propaganda. Every country does it, and they have to do it to their
own population, and I don’t necessarily think it’s that awful.”
You
can cringe all you like, but he’s right. Not about propaganda being
a legitimate weapon for an ostensibly free democracy to inflict upon
its citizens of course; manipulating the way your citizenry thinks is
manipulating the way they vote and organize and what they consent to,
and is plainly sociopathic. But he is right that all the shrieking
the US does about Russian propaganda applies fully to its own
behavior.
As
we’ve discussed
previously,
the only real power in this world is the power to control the public
narrative about what is going on. The only reason governments operate
the way they operate, the only reason money works the way it works,
the only reason power exists where it exists, is that we’ve all
agreed to play along with some made-up mental stories about those
things and pretend that they are true and real. The only thing
stopping the populace from collectively deciding to change the way
money works, from deciding that the assholes on Capitol Hill aren’t
in charge anymore, or from deciding that every billionaire in America
should be butchered like a hog and turned into Slim Jims is the fact
that those ideas have not become the dominant narrative. If you can
control the stories that the masses tell themselves about what is in
their best interests, you control everything.

This
is why the alliance between Silicon Valley and US intelligence
agencies is becoming more and more brazen. This is why Facebook and
the NATO propaganda firm Atlantic Council announced
that they’ve formed a partnership weeks
after the Atlantic Council published
an article explaining
why westerners need to be propagandized for their own good. This is
why social media corporations are being
instructed on the Senate floor that
they need to take action to silence sources of rebellion. This is why
Julian Assange is being
aggressively silenced by
the western empire. And it is why Joy Reid still has a job.
The
good news about all this is that we know exactly where our shackles
are. Our shackles are made of narrative, and the oligarchs’ ability
to control it. A populist movement to disrupt establishment
narratives and wake people up to what’s going on is all it will
take to break our rulers’ ability to control the way the citizens
of the world think and vote. From there we can make our own
narratives and create a world which benefits us all and not just a
few ruling elites. Right now there is a mad rush by those same elites
to scale back our ability to network and share information via new
media, so one of the most revolutionary things we can do at this time
is prevent them from doing so and outpace them in that race.
It
isn’t the west versus Russia. It isn’t left versus right. At this
time the real conflict in our society is a few ruling elites and
their cronies versus humanity’s natural impulse to act in a way
that is beneficial to humanity. All we need to do is help that
impulse flourish, get out of our oligarchy-imposed brain boxes, and
build a new world.
