Newspaper articles are also very short, often not long enough to address the

complexities involved in each issue. This problem is further exacerbated

with television “news,” where most coverage consists of 30 second

sound-bytes. Furthermore, these articles and sound-bytes are often coming

from speeches and spokespeople in the “Spin Room.” They actually call it the

spin room, where reporters “get the spin.” Spider’s webs and skipping

records are spun. Why is news being associated as such?

“The mass media is itself part of the same power structure that plunders the

planet and inflicts human rights abuses on a massive scale” -David Cromwell

David Rockefeller said it all in his 1991 Trilateral Commission meeting

speech: “We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time

Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our

meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years.

It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we

had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But,

the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a

world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and

world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination

practiced in past centuries.”

“I really look with commiseration over the great body of my fellow citizens

who, reading newspapers, live and die in the belief that they have known

something of what has been passing in their times.” - President Thomas

Jefferson knew, as does any historian, that what passes as today’s

News/Current Affairs, rarely remains unchanged when written/remembered as

tommorow’s History. Newspapers present the official establishment position

of each days’ events, but this is often not the truth, the whole truth and

nothing but the truth.

"The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads

nothing but newspapers" -- President Thomas Jefferson 1743-1826

“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and

conscientious stupidity”. - Martin Luther King

"In March 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests -- the steel, shipbuilding, and

powder interest, 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 ...They found it was only

necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest 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 interests of the purchasers." - U.S. Congressman Oscar

Callaway, 1917

[Already in 1915, Banker Morgan used 12 top newspaper men to select the most

influential American newspapers to generally control the daily press...He

only needed to buy the 25 most important newspapers’ policy! (What to tell

the people!) He appointed Editors for each paper to supervise & edit

information about war, finances, & other national and international news

important to the BUYERS."That’

This is how International top Bankers bought &

created US public opinion!]

"The enormous gap between what U.S. leaders do in the world and what

Americans think their leaders are doing is one of the great propaganda

accomplishments of the dominant political mythology." - Michael Parenti,

political scientist/author.

William Fulbright — US Senator & Chairman of the US Foreign Relations

committee — said before a national television audience: "Israel controls the

United States Senate. We should be more concerned about the United States'

interests."

“Since the 1930s the Scofield Reference Bible has been promoted as THE

source for interpreting Revelation and the end times. Almost all the current

Dispensationalist theology is derived from his teaching and his Reference

Bible. “The doctrines he preached and taught have now taken over

fundamentalist churches across the country. "His financial support for the

reference Bible

came from Zionist & conspiratorial groups out of Boston Massachusetts.

Chiefly known as the Secret Six . That group tied to the order of the

Illuminati. There was an unusual association

between Scofield & Zionist Samuel Untermeier.” -- Rev. Nord Davis, Christian

Minister.

President Dwight Eisenhower’s speech-writer Wilson Bryan Key wrote a book

called “The Age of Manipulation” all about his experience writing

presidential speeches: “For thirty-six sleepless hours, three writers turned

out draft after draft, reviewed by a White House deputy press secretary who

offered terse comments like, 'Much too specific!' 'Ease up on factual

references!' and 'Take it back and fuzz it up!' 'Fuzz it up,' we discovered

eventually, meant avoid all clear, factual statements about anything more

specific than the time of day ... The speech was endlessly discussed for

likely audience reactions, belief and attitude reinforcements, and implied

meanings ... Would anyone take the empty rhetoric seriously? The speech read

smoothly, but said absolutely nothing about anything. This was precisely

what it was intended to say. During audience interviews after the oration,

most expressed satisfaction with the great man's words. 'Ike really gave it

to them!' 'He has my vote!' 'I like the way he thinks!' Great speech!'”

“The news is a farce. As is the case with the financial institutions, which

are concentrated in the hands of the few, long ago the media was bought and

paid for ...What you read and what you see on a daily basis is largely

manufactured. You are being lied to each and every day.” -Christopher Mark,

“Grand Deception: The Theft of America and the World” (16-17)

“Every day on television stations all over the world, journalists and

correspondents give their viewers the official version of the event they are

reporting. ‘White House sources say this..., the Prime Minister says

that..., the FBI say the other...’ In all my time in journalism I cannot

recall a single conversation in a newsroom that didn’t reflect the official

version of life and the world. Most journalists are not manipulating, they

are simply stunningly uninformed and often incredibly arrogant. They believe

that if anything of magnitude was going on they would know about it because

they are ‘journalists’. In truth they are the last to know”. -- David Icke,

“The Biggest Secret” (271)

“Corporate ownership intermingled with secret society members, many of whom

are employed in the media, may explain why Bilderberg, Trilateral, and CFR

meetings are not reported by America's ‘watchdog’ media. In fact, the

membership lists of these societies read like a who's who of the mass media.

“ -Jim Marrs, “Rule by Secrecy” (107)

“Past and present members of the globalist secret societies Bilderberg, CFR,

and Trilateral Commission have headed the following media giants: ABC, CBS,

NBC, PBS, CNN, AP, Reuters, New York Times, New York Post, Washington Post,

Washington Times, L.A. Times, Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, Business Week,

National Review, Time, Life, Look, Fortune, Reader’s Digest, U.S. News &

World Report, Atlantic Monthly, McCalls, World Review, Scientific American -

even Sesame Street (CTVW). Many minor media newspapers/publishers are CFR

owned as well, for instance: Arkansas Gazette, Des Moines Register, Des

Moines Tibune, Guy Gannett Co., Houston Post, Minneapolis Star, Minneapolis

Tribune, Denver Post, and Louisville Courier. CFR owned book publishers

include MacMillan, Random House, Simon & Schuster, McCraw-Hill, Harper

Brothers, Little Brown & Co., Viking Press, IBM Publishing and Printing,

Xerox Corp., Yale University Press, Harper & Row - many of which specialize

in children’s textbooks. Furthermore, sitting on the boards of directors of

the corporations which own the media are secret society members. Some of the

well-known reporters, anchors, and columnists who are members of the CFR

and/or the Trilateral Commission include Dan Rather, Bill Moyers, C. C.

Collinwood, Diane Sawyer, David Brinkley, Ted Koppel, Barbara Walters, John

Chancellor, Marvin Kalb, Daniel Schorr, Joseph Kraft, James Reston, Max

Frankel, David Halberstram, Harrison Salisbury, A. Ochs Sulzberger, Sol

Linowitz, Nicholas Katzenbach, George Will, Tom Brokaw, Robert McNeil, David

Gergen, Mortimer Zuckerman, Georgie Ann Geyer, Ben J. Wattenberg, and many

others. Small wonder so many researchers see a conspiracy of silence among

these media peers.” -Jim Marrs “Rule by Secrecy” (107)

Also note that CBS (a.k.a. Conspiracy Brainwashing Syndicate) for instance,

has over 255 radio and 200 TV affiliates nationwide, ABC has over 150 TV.

Time Inc. (Skull and Bones & CFR) owns newspapers, magazines, movie houses,

book publishers, and over thirty TV stations These corporate giants own

every major name in media and most of the minor names as well. As time goes

on these huge corporations continue merging, monopolizing, and buying up all

competition so that now only 5 mega-corporations, all Brotherhood

controlled, own 90% of the media.

“The Rothschilds own Associated Press and Reuters, the two largest news

organizations in the world. Reuters is the world’s largest international

multimedia news organization,” and AP boasts being “the backbone of the

world's information system serving thousands of daily newspaper, radio,

television and online customers with coverage in all media and news in all

formats. It is the largest and oldest news organization in the world,

serving as a source of news, photos, graphics, audio and video. Control over

the internet, publishing, recording and top cable companies belongs to GE,

Time Warner, Viacom, Disney and Newscorp. These are directly or indirectly

owned by the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Morgans and Oppenheimers which are

all Illuminati bloodlines, and their boards of directors look like CFR

rosters. Look at Ted Turner, the Council on Foreign Relations member who

was supposed to be taking on the system with his Cable News Network (CNN).

He sold out to Time Warner, one of the greatest Brotherhood operations on

the planet, and CNN pounds out the official line hour after hour, day after

day … The three television networks in the United States, CBS, ABC, and NBC

are controlled by members of the Round Table network and so are the

Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and

a long, long list of others. The same goes for country after country.”

-David Icke, “The Biggest Secret” (272)

“Instead of three competing television networks called NBC, CBS, and ABC,

what we really have is the Rockefeller Broadcasting Company, the Rockefeller

Broadcasting System, and the Rockefeller Broadcasting Consortium.” -Gary

Allen, “The Rockefeller File”

“We know in the not too distant future, a half-dozen corporations are going

to control the media. We took this step (merger) to ensure we were one of

them.” -AOL/Time Warner spokesperson.

Rupert Murdoch’s NewsCorp dominates the American, Britain, Asian, and Middle

Eastern media markets. He owns 175 newspapers including The Times of London

and the New York Post, 100 cable TV channels including Fox and 19 sports

channels, 9 satellite and 40 regular TV networks, 40 publishing houses, and

a movie studio. His media empire stretches across 5 continents reaching a TV

audience of 280 million in America and 300 million in Asia. His magazines

reach 28 million. With all outlets combined together, Murdoch’s media empire

reaches 4.7 billion people; that’s ¾ of the world’s population. (Rupert

Murdoch: Outfoxed Documentary)

“Rupert Murdoch is the most dangerous man in the world.” -Ted Turner

Once again displaying the same elite philosophy of classism and moral

relativity. They justify their corruption/lying by claiming mental

superiority over the masses. Ted Turner has been interviewed calling the

majority of humanity “useless eaters.”

“It is a fact that most editors and newsmen on the staffs of Life, Look,

Time, Newsweek, etc., and most editors, reporters, and commentators at NBC,

CBS, and ABC take their news and editorial cues from the New York Times. .

Technically, it is a great newspaper; but it reports much of the news in

conformity with its editorial policies. The late Arthur Hays Sulzberger,

chairman of the board of the New York Times, was a member of the CFR, and

today there are at least 11 people in high positions with e Times who are

CFR members. Sulzberger's son-in-law Orvil E. Dryfoos (CFR) succeeded him as

publisher. The current publisher is Arthur Ochs ‘Punch’ Sulzberger (CFR).

Other CFR members at the Times are: Harding Bancroft, Executive Vice

President. James Reston, Vice President and columnist; A. M. Rosenthal,

managing editor; Seymour Topping, assistant managing editor; Max Frankel,

Sunday editor; Harrison Salisbury, associate editor; C. L. Sulzberger,

columnist; and David Halberstam, columnist”. –Gary Allen, The Rockefeller

"Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought

to have." -- Richard Salent, Former President CBS News.

"One cannot wage war under present conditions without the support of public

opinion, which is tremendously molded by the press and other forms of

propaganda." -- General Douglas MacArthur

"If you give a man the correct information for seven years, he may believe

the incorrect information on the first day of the eighth year when it is

necessary, from your point of view, that he should do so. Your first job is

to build the credibility and the authenticity of your propaganda, and

persuade the enemy to trust you although you are his enemy." – A

“We have, as far as possible, closed every avenue by which light may enter

their (the slaves’) minds. If we could extinguish the capacity to see the

light, our work would be complete”; -Virginia House of Delegates 1832, -

Henty Berry

John Swinton New York journalist at a banquet (1880’s): "What folly is this,

toasting an independent press? There is no such thing, at this date of the

World's history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know

it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if

you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid

weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with.

Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you

who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the

streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear

in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be

gone. The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie

outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon [Biblical

ref.], and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it

and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are

the tools and vassals of “rich men” [Biblical ref.] behind the scenes. We

are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our

possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are

intellectual prostitutes."

Running a close second to the New York Times in the prestige race is the

Washington Post. Every Senator and Congressman, regardless of his party or

political persuasion, has the Post on his desk each morning. Like the Times,

the Post is read by the people who count when it comes to running the

country. The Post's owner and publisher Katharine Graham is a member of the

CFR, as are other top editors and management personnel. For years the Post

has been referred to as ‘the uptown Daily Worker.’ The only time the Post

has ever opposed big government- is when it has been used to investigate

Communism. When this has happened, the people at the Post frantically start

waving the Constitution and babbling about ‘freedom of speech’ - something

they regularly suppress when it involves opposition to fascism-socialism or

the Rockefellers. -Gary Allen, The Rockefeller File

The owner/publisher of the Washington Post from 1963 - 2001, Katharine

Graham was a member of the CFR, Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg Group!

In 1988 in a speech at CIA headquarters, she bluntly stated her contorted

view of democracy when she said:

We live in a dirty and dangerous world. There are some things the general

public does not need to know and shouldn’t. I believe democracy flourishes

when the government can take legitimate steps to keep its secrets, and when

the press can decide whether to print what it knows.

"Josephson details how the Rockefellers used their wealth to penetrate the

Christian Churches in America and how they later used their Number 1 agent,

John Foster Dulles--who was related to them--to maintain their grip on every

aspect of church life in this country.“ — John Coleman in "The Comittee of

300" (available at http://www.rense.com/politics5/300.htm). Dulles was

Chairman & Co-founder of the Federal Council of Churches, Partner of Wall

Street's powerful law firms Sullivan & Cromwell. Also…CoB for Carnegie

Endowment for International Peace, & former Trustee of the Rockefeller

Foundation, and founding member of the Council of Foreign Relations

(CFR).His brother was Allen Welsh Dulles, head of the CIA under president

Eisenhower, right after WW2.

I think we are destroying the minds of America and that has been one of my

lifelong ambitions. -John Kricfalusi, creator of The Ren and Stimpy Show

The United States has some of the dumbest people in the world. I want you to

know that we know that. -Ted Turner, CEO of AOL/Time Warner

Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought

to have.

-Richard Salant, former President of CBS News

While the media obviously cannot dictate how we are to think, they certainly

set the agenda on what we are to think about. Who has time for tedious

stories of government conspiracies and financial manipulations when the

newspapers and airwaves are filled with crime, accidents, and celebrities?

Who bothers to notice when a prime-time TV network ‘news break’ contains

nothing but sports scores?

-Jim Marrs, “Alien Agenda” (xii)

Nephew of Sigmund Freud, known as the Western Goebells, the master-mind of

modern American Propaganda, Edward Bernays was 104 when he died in 1995. In

his century behind the scenes, Edward Bernays worked with many corporations

and the government to advertise and propagandize the American public into

different group-think patterns. Among others we was top advisor to William

Paley, the founder of CBS. He wrote in his 1928 book “Propaganda”:

The conscious and intelligent manipulation of organized habits and opinions

of the masses is an important element in a democratic society. Those who

manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible

government which is the true ruling power in our country … We are governed,

our mind’s are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested largely by men

we have never heard of … we are dominated by a relatively small number of

persons who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the

masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind and who

harness social forces and contrive new ways to bind and guide the world … It

remains a fact in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere

of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we

are dominated by this relatively small number of persons… As civilization

has become more complex, and as the need for invisible government has been

increasingly demonstrated, the technical means have been invented and

developed by which opinion may be regimented.

I know the secret of making the average American believe anything I want him

to. Just let me control television. Americans are wired into their

television sets. Over the last 30 years, they have come to look at their

television sets and the images on the screen as reality. You put something

on television and it becomes reality. If the world outside the television

set contradicts the images, people start changing the world to make it more

like the images and sounds of their television. Because its influence is so

great, so pervasive, it has become part of our lives. You lose your sense of

what is being done to you, but your mind is being shaped and molded.

-Hal Becker, Futures Group think-tank veteran

“These individuals, they do go back a long way and they have understood

completely your psyche, they’ve had generations, centuries to study it.

Their type of sorcery involves different kinds of techniques but it’s still

the same effect: Tele-Hypnosis, Metacontrast, Hemisync, Synaesthesia,

Embedding, new names, new terms for a very old, well-known practice to get

you into group-think, into subservience, to get you to embody dialectical

divisions of which there is no end in our society, to fashion your

allegiances for you, to implant associations that your mind might not

normally associate, to purvey escapism, rampant escapism and projection of

fantasy into reality, to inflate false personas so you don’t have to be you,

you can live it out through the person on the screen, and the excessive

eroticization especially of the female.” -Michael Tsarion, “The Subversive

Use of Sacred Symbolism in the Media” Lecture at Conspiracy Con 2003
