Preface: This is the evolution of an article I wrote several months back titled “Is Freedom’s Worst Enemy the Main-Stream Media”, but never felt I got enough of the point across …
The Mainstream Media is one of the six main tools being used in the final subjugation of We the People, with the other five being Healthcare, the Food Supply, the Education System, the Federal Reserve and Fear. As of now the elite who own and run this corporation we call America, pretty much have a choke hold on all six.
But let’s discuss the MSM because if you control (own) the media you control how a population thinks and reacts to everything from entertainment to religion, social welfare and right on through to warfare. It is within one’s power to shape or reshape the moral and ethical standards of an entire society over time. Using this one tool can effectively shape and mold public opinion to suit one’s needs or justify your actions, and in doing so render all other heinous tools mentioned for mass manipulation much more effective and successful.
Lets take a closer look at the choreographed morphing of a society via the power and influence of the Mainstream Media and understand that, without this dedicated mechanism, the drastic changes we who have walked this earth for at least a half century have seen, would never have taken place, or if they had it would have been to a much less catastrophic degree – IF we had possessed a truly free and uncorrupted system of media.

For instance when baby Bush was president we had many peace rallies railing against warmongering even going as far as to label him a war criminal! But in less than five years, with many times the hostile actions taking place across the globe, and through the actions of a Democratic president who ran on the promise of ending this madness, we hear hardly a whimper. Did all the peaceniks suddenly become war hawks? I don’t think so but just how much of this do you hear about on the MSM today as compared to only about five years ago?
It used to be if a president or his cabinet made a huge OOPs or generated a scandal it was national news with something as trivial (by today’s standards) as Oval Office sex threatening to bring an administration to the ground. But now, regardless of the transgressions or the tyranny, it is hidden, covered up or justified in some perverse fashion as being for our protection or beneficial in the scheme of things or just flat out ignored.
So did the vast majority of Americans suddenly become ignorant or chronically apathetic? One might suspect both and the sad part is … it is all by design.

If you wished to remove the ability or the right of citizens to posses firearms but knew this to be an unpopular endeavor with a large segment of the population, what better mechanism than for the MSM to convince (through a constant barrage of propaganda) the majority of the media-addicted populace (using what may be false flag events) that those wishing to retain their firearms are evil or psychotic people only wishing to perpetrate harm on them, and thus bring undue pressure to see all guns banned and through the fear generated eliciting support for unconstitutional restrictions and laws.
The ability of the MSM to play segments of We The People against each other for their puppet masters’ gains and our losses is powerful beyond compare and demonstrated daily. Keep the sheep entertained with mindless and meaningless drivel, or divided and bickering among themselves and you can perpetrate and perpetuate your agenda almost undetected upon he herd.
And their list of available vehicles of distraction and manipulation is long, including race baiting, abortion, religion, fear, debt, climate change, Muslim terrorists, drugs, etc … Is it any wonder the average American sheeple wishes only to retreat into their safe little personal bubble unaffected by all this madness and isolate themselves from it as much as possible?
We The People have never been a society truly involved in the functioning of our government but the detachment seen by a majority of the population today is chronic bordering on fatal and again intentional.
This entire process is called the Dumbing Down of America and thanks to the MSM it has worked pretty damn well! So mission pretty much accomplished by one of the most effective and monstrous mechanisms ever developed by man’s mind to control mans mind, Mass Media! Every tyrannical government in modern times has used this diabolical mechanism to perpetrate evil in the pursuit of the total subjugation of its people, and done so in a hugely successful manner! We The People have no special immunity to what may just be freedoms worst enemy. We are left with only two choices, one being to wake up, speak out and live free or the other, to fade passively into subjugation …
I chose the former, and you???
Very nice Roger! I remain surprised, given the amout of ridicule MSM receives, that anyone with half a brain can not clearly see the patterns you point out.
We seem to fallen for some kind of belief system that ignores the fact just because television and cable came into existance that those with channels, their affiates, or the FCC are the only one that can exist and that they own the space in which stations transmit from. Its like there is a physical jail around us and all we get fed is BS
Judy,
I totally sympathize with you concerning the reaction of your friends and relatives. No one wants to have to think about the mess our country is in, especially young people. Our politicians are responsible, and most of them haven’t thought about the stress their actions cause their constituents. Just do your best to prepare, then try to enjoy life while we can. What else can we do?
I was one of those thousands who participated in anti-war rallies in San Fran. What happened was IT DIDN’T MATTER. People all over the world rallied against the war in Iraq and TPTB ignored us. The MSM also down played what was going on. They used the equal time fairness bs on TV and showed the small group of pro war folks plus the numbers game. They originally said there were only 2000 or so in San Fran but had to correct that because of airial pictures that showed at least 500,000 were there and millions around the world. I think people got very dicouraged and I am discouraged to this day because I don’t believe marches mean anything. Look what they did to Occupy. Action is the only way now and it will take some sacrifice. I have not owned a TV since 2001 and I don’t own a cell phone since I found out about all the tracking of us through this device. I have a computer though so I can find out what is going on through people like yourself. I live alone and all this is very frightening. I have never owned a gun. I think there are more people out there who know things are wrong but are afraid and don’t even look up stuff because big brother is watching. I try to talk with people and get told I’m a “Debbie Downer”. My family and friends listen and look at me like I am a nutcase. My sons know what is going on but stopped listening because it has taken so long for things to “happen” and they said it was creating “negative” in their lives. God help us all. Americans are soft and for the taking.
I love so much of what this site has to say, including this article. I must add that a huge part of that Dumbing Down of America (and the world) is the belief in animal experimentation as scientifically applicable to us and as morally justifiable, which even the most skeptical of “free thinkers” falls into, just like all those “sheeple” they pity and hold in contempt. The belief in vivisection is orchestrated by vested interests, governments and their beholden “news reporters,” same as the rest of the destructive lies.
While you are certainly correct, at the very same time, you PERFECTLY demonstrate the solution…LEAVE the dud MSM and establish the ALTERNATIVE MEDIA! While it IS TRUE that we (as a Nation) are on the very edge of the brink of destruction, we, nonetheless have over 300+ MILLION folks who went out, into the woods this year, and hunted animals, (without killing one human), and returned home safely. That is a daunting stat, which means we still have some thinking, commonsense led folks here…keep warning them, and keep praying for them to awaken, and against TPTB, or that the elite blunder wonderfully, into the light of truth.
while we ARE (VERY likely) seeing the glimmers of “Ya’acob’s troubles” (Jer.30:7) growing ever stronger, towards a holocaust, nonetheless, we cannot just give up and give in…we MUST FIGHT evil & tyranny to the death!!!
