Quotes on the Controlled Mainstream Media
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’
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/publishe
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

University Baltimore (1958)
“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.
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
