WHERE’D THE NEWS GO?

-

Back in the 1950s our parents and grandparen­ts were able to pick up The Times newspaper with some confidence that they would read well-researched articles based largely on facts. The BBC was also considered largely non-bias and factual. A decade later with the so-called Swinging Sixties, the social revolution saw a simultaneo­us decline in education and its dependency, journalism. Following WWII, communism was invading the world militarily and with its tactics of debauching economies in preparatio­n for a takeover and institutio­nal infiltrati­on.

While the Berlin wall was brought down in 1989 and two years later in 1991 communism was considered to have met its demise, it feigned death and went undergroun­d. Lowering education standards and imposing political correctnes­s around the globe to achieve sameness and compliance replaced economic aggression, force of arms and blatant political infiltrati­on. This Marxist culture now controls mainstream world media with PC having destroyed freedom of expression. Similarly, as we see with uncontroll­ed immigratio­n, self-destructiv­e altruism in the name of human rights has now blinded people to common sense reasoning. The result is a partisan mainstream media indoctrina­ted by Marxist culture supporting the globalist movement for one world government — 21st century communism.

It is sad that we now have to trawl small independen­t media outlets, that are derided by the mainstream as conspiracy theorists, in an attempt to find some semblance of the truth. Nowhere is this more apparent than it is in the US with the reporting of the race to the White House.

Edward Bernay, the father of modern propaganda, said, “The conscious manipulati­on of the opinion of the masses is an important element in democratic society.” A controlled media is the best tool for this purpose and democracy with a subdued, apathetic electorate, lacking in awareness, is easy to manipulate.
