What Happens

[Alberta Patriot]

What happens when 90% of the media is controlled/owned by (6) corporations?
What happens when those same corporations are operated and controlled by a political ideology?
What happens when the news is no longer free from bias?
What happens when the news is no longer reliable and independent?
What happens when the news is no longer trustworthy?
What happens when the news simply becomes an extension/arm of a political party?
Fact becomes fiction?
Fiction becomes fact?
When does news become propaganda?
Identity creation?
How does the average person, who is under constant financial stress (by design), find time to research and discern fact v fiction?
Majority of people more prone to believe someone in power sitting behind a big brand ‘news’ name?
Do people [human psyche] tend to follow the ‘majority/mainstream viewpoint’ in fear of being isolated and/or shunned?
‘Mainstream’ is used for a reason (dominate trend in opinion).
[If majority of people believe ‘x’ then ‘x’ must be validated / true]
Why do ‘mainstream’ media heads, within different orgs, always use the same keywords and/or catch phrases?
Coordinated? By who? Outside entity providing instructions?
Do they count on the fact that people (human psyche) are more prone to believe something if heard over-and-over again by different ‘trusted’ sources?
Do ‘echo chamber’ tactics provide validation / credibility to the topic/point being discussed?
Threat to intellectual freedom?
Would control over[of] these institutions/organizations allow for the mass control of a populations viewpoint re: a desired topic?
Read again – digest.
Would control over[of] these institutions/organizations allow for the mass control of a populations viewpoint re: a desired topic?
Logical thinking.
Why, after the election of 2016, did [D]’s and media corps jumpstart a [coordinated & planned] divisive blitz intended to create falsehoods re: illegitimacy of election, character assassination of POTUS through sexism, racism, every other ‘ism’?
Pre/post 2016 election?
Why were violent [masked] terror orgs such as Antifa immediately created/funded?
Why were these orgs tasked w/ immediate intimidation/shut down of any pro-POTUS rallys and/or events?
Why were marches immediately organized to counter and silence pro-POTUS rallys and/or events?
Why were marches immediately organized which divided people into sex/gender, race, ism?
When you control the levers of news dissemination, you control the narrative.
Control of the narrative = power
When you are blind, what do you see?
They want you divided.
Divided by religion.
Divided by sex.
Divided by political affiliation.
Divided by class.
When you are divided, and angry, and controlled, you target those ‘different’ from you, not those responsible (controllers).
Divided you are weak.
Divided you pose no threat to their control.
When ‘non-dogmatic’ information becomes FREE & TRANSPARENT it becomes a threat to those who attempt to control the narrative and/or stable (livestock kept – sheep).
When you are awake, you stand on the outside of the stable (‘group-think’ collective), and have ‘free thought’.
“Free thought” is a philosophical viewpoint which holds that positions regarding truth should be formed on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, revelation, or dogma.
THIS REPRESENTS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. (And the world IMHO...A.P.)
Q

Not my words/questions/points of view, but I certainly agree with everything that is stated here...A.P.

Ya well, if they can't handle it, watching the liberal mayors backing the commies and crazies trying to take over should certainly have silenced them out of embarrassment.

In recent years The MSM has made it their mission to destroy this nation.

They are determined that we shall become a Socialist/Communist Government.

ANYONE that wants to live under Communism has no clue what that is really like.

I went looking for a copy of this to post:



And Found this one in the process:



A little more blunt than Old Ben.


And this seemed timely as well:

George Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm were not written by looking through a crystal ball, but from what he saw of what came about in early 20 century Russia. Wanna see the future, look at the past, but I don't have to tell anyone here that, we are all well versed by what we have experienced and seen...our kids are a different story!
BTW...the current activities that we see from the Marxist leaning MSM and Hollywood also began early in the 20 century.
Sit down and watch a couple hours of YTV...it'll make you sick and angry to watch what the kids have been spoon fed for 2 decades. Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook and Twitter are Big Brother on steroids.

Mark Hayek was a Very interesting man

Here are 2 other famous quotes from him


"We must face the fact that the preservation of individual freedom is incompatible with a full satisfaction of our views of distributive justice."

"From the saintly and single-minded idealist to the fanatic is often but a step."

I probably have quoted Animal Farm a dozen or more times.
Here is one of mine

  The lessons of the past remain beyond the understanding of those who care only about now, what they can take for free or tear down, for they have neither the patience nor inclination to learn about what came before their time.

The idea that we can judge and condemn past societies of other centuries through our prism is flawed,  we are linear in our nature, we exist only in our time.  This is why studying history and its monuments and creations is so important. 

Have we really evolved or just become better at killing each other?

I do see an awakening though. The more the current left pushes their insane dogma, the more 'classic JFK type liberals' they push away.
I always did pay some attention to current politics, but this past 4 years has fired up my ire for the left.

[Patrick]

Embarrassed ? Some are so stupid they can't be embarrassed.

[F6Dave]

Here's one guy they pushed away:  Leo Terrell.  A black civil rights attorney and until recently a very committed Democrat.  He was on TV last week and I couldn't believe my ears.  He said Biden's "you're not black" comment was the last straw for him.  Hopefully many more will follow him.

Very interesting, I have to admit that I knew nothing about the person whom the quote was attributed to.

But, felt it to be "Spot On".

I've been telling my 92 y/o mother that the current Democratic Party is not in any way shape or form what it was during the time of JFK.

For the sake of our nation I would love to see it return to those days.

Its not only who owns them but you need to trace the money and marching orders

Ok  Unortunately both bighead and meathead's fair responses to a hateful deluded post were pulled
but Bighead asked me something  straight up so I respect him and reply

But first let me say it is always nice to see both Big and Meat (of the head variety) on the same side of a debate  We were only missing mr skin  

So here are the 6 questions
What happens when 90% of the media is controlled/owned by (6) corporations?
What happens when those same corporations are operated and controlled by a political ideology?
What happens when the news is no longer free from bias?
What happens when the news is no longer reliable and independent?
What happens when the news is no longer trustworthy?
What happens when the news simply becomes an extension/arm of a political party?

For a person to state a religion that is the founding basis for the principles of this country is behind media manipulation or banking manipulation is to reveal paranoid delusions of the highest order.  

You stretch so far is is clear that you are going to see what is not there  To you everything is a conspiracy.  There are many conspiracies but you do not describe a real one.

Here is an illustration

It was three o’clock in the morning, and the receptionist at a posh hotel was just dozing off when a little old lady comes running towards her screaming. “Please come quickly!” she yelled, “I just saw a naked man outside my window!”

The receptionist immediately rushes up to the old lady’s room. “Where is he?” asked the receptionist. “He’s over there,” replied the little old lady, pointing to an apartment building opposite the hotel.

The receptionist looks over and could see a man with no shirt on, moving around his apartment. “It’s probably a man who’s getting ready to go to bed,” she said reassuringly. “And how do you know he’s naked, you can only see him from the waist up?”

“The dresser, honey!” screamed the old lady. “Try standing on the dresser!”    

---------

The man was not outside her window and was just going about LIFE
------------------
Better questions would be what is the globalist agenda and how is it set up?
What is the CCP long game and in what ways do they move it forward?
The manipulation of all media comes from the communist model which punishes religious observers and in the case of China kills people of religion for their organs  (look it up)
What is the ultimate goal of jihad??
They not only lie but their book (playbook) states is is ok to lie and especially to kill jews
Christians also will be killed if they do not convert to islam
How has the DNC and its leaders including Obama (not a jew)   Clinton  (thank god not a jew) and
Soros( family money came from betraying and killing jews) infiltrated and corrupted our Administrative agencies?


You will find people of all races, cultures and religions (and in the subset of religion you will find those who are self loathing and hateful of their own kind) involved with the DNC agenda.
Blood libel (do jews kill christian children to drink blood wine on passover) was spread by the church so that jews would die and their possessions be forfeit. I am not aware of a jew today who holds that against the church although only 120 years ago it still went on in Europe.  Likewise by barring jews from owning property that left commerce (later to be banking) as one of the only ways to make advances for ones family

Fact,  Democrat black people were bought by Lyndon Johnson who predicted if he got the Republican votes (which he did but not the democrats) that he would "own the N ***ers for 200 years"  Look it up before this response is pulled it is word for word truth from the shrewd Texan himself.  LBJ was not a fan of black people but he was a shrewd politician.  And Carl I purposely did not spell it so I would not offend your sensibilities.  Lets see if that respect comes back at lunches and group meals.

I would close with the following. Be part of the peaceful solution. Educate those you meet as to what each party really stands for. Neither is perfect. But one is following the same path that led to the civil war in the years 1824 to 1860.  I submit to you, that, is the Democratic party

For what it's worth, when I delete a post that violated the Rules of the Road I will remove any post that quotes it.  I am unwilling to take the time to edit out what isn't acceptable and leave the rest.
