Great article, Don. Some old Russian guy who grew up in the communist Soviet Union said this: (quote/paraphrase)-"The television networks in the USSR were totally controlled by the government, just like they are in America. However, at least we Russians knew that we were being fed lies and propaganda. Americans are so stupid they actually believe the news put forth on TV." Never, ever trust anyone who is allowed to appear on TV, regardless of what they say or what their alleged background purports to be. From its inception, television (Talmudvision) has been the Cryptocracy's medium for brainwashing, manipulation and control. Anyone on TV either works directly for the enemy or is completely compromised by them and is their sycophant/shill, willing or unwilling, it doesn't matter.
Great write up. I believe it was President Nixon who started the signature send off, "And God bless America," and then we're off to bomb and invade nations because we're blessed by God. I hope you don't mind, I mentioned you and linked you in my post today. I owe you a beer or two. Mike
i did independent journalism in mexico. blogging & involved w/a website. i assisted a correspondent from USA today. he was based in MC city, & was doing an expose. that artical was rejected. what is forbiddon is exactly what we need to talk about. i learned how they roll. its coverup all the way. a year later the "new yorker" was here. the reporter just stayed in his lane, didnt come close to where the action was. i suppose the gove didnt guide him properly. i began documenting things in '68 as a street photographer. being curious i like to talk w/people. living dangerously is fun. we live in a paraelle universe.
I like how people often name some names and say yes, these are "true investigative journalists" or better yet, call some frauds, specifically planted to distract and deceive them, "heroes," etc. Many of such frauds enrich MASSIVELY by defrauding the public (e.g., Berenson makes over 1.2 mil a year, according to The NYT, just for selling his substack subscriptions).
That being said - I am not buying it, and I do not believe that there are any honest and genuine investigative journalists. There might be some, but no one or few knows about them. Why?
I happened to document endless crimes, committed under color of law, and when absolutely every fraud - psedo-investigative journ. or various so-called non-profits that purport to "expose corruption" entirely ignored me and the evidence of the crimes, I realized that they are just that: malicious frauds and criminals.
I found only ONE honest person, Ramola D, but she is being massively shadow-banned, her voice is being massively suppressed, she is being viciously constantly attacked for her integrity.

Thanks for this, showing what some of us who have only realized in the last couple of years - just how captured the mainstream media is - via the lens of covid, is actually nothing new, and stretches much further back, and goes much deeper.

Nice piece.
In 1995 I sent a 'JFK to Watergate' book proposal to several dozen publishers, both here and Europe. All rejections. One wrote that it would probably be a bestseller but we're not doing it. Of course the Watergate narrative has never stopped. OK, you got us, Mark Felt of the FBI was our Deep Throat source; no, actually it was a CIA operative. Later this fellow ran for the US senate. I remember reading in the WaPo polls indicated he was running 6th. Doubtless I had a smarmy smile on my face when I read he'd won.
In 1997 I began working for a retired career army investigator with many Deep State expendables as clients. However one was not, Inslaw Inc, owner of PROMIS software.
I carried the water there until DS closed up
the shop, with prejudice.
Not long after I wrote a piece of things I came to learn in working there. It was posted by one of the larger alt sites. But not for long. After a serious threat it was taken down. Passed along with the threat, don't post anything else about PROMIS. But I think that was misdirection...that they didn't like me naming who had brought Clinton administration lawyer Vince Foster's suicided body to nearby Ft Marcy Park.
Thanks for mentioning the insidious Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).
Allen Dulles, who ran the CIA "Operation Mockingbird", was a CFR director for 40 years. Media barons Paley (CBS), Sarnoff (RCA/NBC), Luce (Time/Life), Meyer/Graham (WaPo), and Sulzberger (NYTimes) were CFR members. Murrow, Brinkley, Brokaw, Rather, and dozens more were CFR members. See chart showing modern CFR media control: https://swprs.org/the-american-empire-and-its-media/
The CFR and its network of affiliates have controlled the US govt since WW2. As in previous administrations, key players on the "Biden team" are CFR members including the secretaries of State, Treasury, Defense, Commerce and Homeland Security; the secretaries of the Army, Navy and Air Force; the CIA director, Fed chairman, UN ambassador, and dozens of deputies, advisors, etc.
"They might as well have their talking points, and approved stories, assigned to them..."
When I was a lad, I was inspired by American movies about newspapers and fierce, ethical journalists, especially muckrakers -- films featuring hard-bitten editors and determined investigative reporters. Always, the "prize" for their undaunted digging, analysis and detective work was "The Truth." Little did I realize that this fictionalized world would bear little resemblance to the willing corruption, deception and institutionalized propaganda that now passes for journalism one finds in network television and cable channels regarding America and world events.
The corruption of the American Media, especially the news media, undoubtedly has its roots going back to the Civil War. That dark force gathered more momentum during the events leading up to the Spanish-American War, and coalesced around our government during the creation of the Federal Reserve (Act) and the Internal Revenue System, both of which helped fund our entry into World War I -- made possible as you have noted by the sinking of the Lusitania. (An interesting aside is that the British Admiralty purposely provided false coordinates to those who looked for this sunken ship years later; when it was found, the explorers noted the huge explosion which sank the ship occurred internally, as The Lusitania, a passenger liner, was illegally transporting munitions).
However, the governmental manipulation of our so-called "free press" really kicked into high gear shortly before World War II. the "Purple Code" of the Imperial Japanese Navy had been broken a month before Pearl Harbor, which enabled FDR to gather a group of his favorite journalists into the Oval Office and presciently predict America's entry into World War II a month later. The book "Day of Deceit" by Robert B. Stinnett examines the details of this deception which provided our excuse for entry at the cost of 2,335 of our military personnel, as well as how our media was used to promote the "surprise attack" narrative by the withholding of information from our military commanders.
However, it was after the close of World War II, with the creation of the CIA, that control of U.S. Media for the purpose of societal manipulation really swung into high gear. I reference my own article on suppression and control of information: "CIA Runs American TV Networks from Day One."
Although written more than ten years ago, the information in it will stun, enlighten and surprise many -- including the existence and suppression of at least four other JFK assassination films and videos which still remain under lock and key besides the altered and manipulated Zapruder film.
Equally enlightening, and a must read for any conspiracy researcher, is "The CIA Conspiracy Against Conspiracy Theory" (https://beforeitsnews.com/conspiracy-theories/2022/01/the-cia-conspiracy-against-conspiracy-theory-2519245.html) which details how the CIA created a negative meme around the term "conspiracy theory" immediately after the JFK assassination for the purpose of besmirching any researcher attempting to turn over rocks to discover something other than the "official government authorized" fantasy of John Kennedy's well-coordinated murder.
It should be clear to most anyone who bothers to investigate the roots of CIA involvement in American news "reporting" that the CIA has had its' thumb on the scales since its creation. Shaping and manipulating narratives, staging "false flag" events, and direct suppression and censorship of information is its' specialty. Not to put too fine a point on this, but anyone who thinks the CIA actually works for the benefit of the American people is hopelessly naive.
Excellent, Don. Dead accurate. Stay safe!!!

The CBS logo triggers me every time I see it now.
