Raptor Jet from my book ANGRY LOUD AND CLEAR TRUTH
CHAPTER 24- THE EDUCATION SYSTEM’S ROLE IN OUR DESTRUCTION
Why has all this been done without anybody perceiving what I have made very clear, with much evidence? One reason is the media. Another is the education system. This system has been designed to create obedient, conforming youth who do not challenge the status quo, unable to analyze or think critically. There is a reason that the school system is called compulsory, as the whole populace should (according to the masters) be forced to be indoctrinated to the lies and wrong values to allow the destruction of humanity. Youth are told that they go to school to learn, but a professional award-winning teacher and author, John Gatto, says this: “There is abundant evidence that less than a hundred hours is sufficient for a person to become totally literate and a self-teacher. Don’t be panicked by scare tactics into surrendering your children to experts…that certified teaching experts like me are deemed necessary to make learning happen is a fraud and a scam.” ...........
Here in the United States, the public education system was initiated by Horace Mann, who took it upon himself to convince the public of the benefits that such a system would be. Remember that back then, the middle of the 1800s, there was much more publicized dissent. Today there is still dissent, but it is not publicized, as people would join any rebelling going on if it was given a voice. It is not well-known, but on the day of Trump’s inauguration, hundreds of protestors were arrested and jailed, despite what yarn Trump will contrive about it being the biggest turnout of any inaugural parade-the bigger the lie, the more it will be believed.
The United States has been a nation of protest and independent thinkers; despite the schools and media, and Howard Zinn’s THE PEOPLE’S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES records the nation’s history of rebellion. Mann addressed his letters promoting schooling to employers, the wealthy, and to workers. His “sell” was carefully contrived and convincing. To the employers, he promised that workers who are educated would be able to perform better than unschooled would. That made sense to them, but I don’t know why they agreed without knowing what would be taught, or how. Among the wealthy, the concept of educating what was already a discontent masses was a frightening idea; and brought fears of it loosening habits of industriousness, that they would forcefully confiscate property if educated and aware of the truth. This was a valid concern, but Mann confronted it well. He told them that universal education would channel ambition away from seizing other’s property, to workers he emphasized that universal education would give their children a way to rise in the world. Instead of taking things from others, they would earn them for themselves. Remember this, because later you will see how this myth was built upon and how it has served as a carrot and deceptive tool to make the poor appear to be inferior and lazy or stupid as the reason for their poverty. We will explore the reason for that myth and prove its falsehood later.
Mann said schooling was “the most effectual way of making insurance on their property would be to contribute from it enough to sustain an efficient system of common-school education, thereby educating the whole mass of the mind, and constituting it a police more effective than peace-officers or prisons.” This was learned from “Class Dismissed” by John Marsh, pages 105-106. Mann is the one who made sure that the Prussian system was employed, and for those of you who are unaware, Prussia was a Germanic totalitarian police state. It was not instated to promote knowledge and better income for all, but to enforce class difference and to perpetuate wealth for the rich, and to delude the common people that they had access to prosperity, thus quieting them.

Other pioneers were Gilman, Dewey, and Rockefeller. They were all wealthy and were connected to psychology and/or secret societies. Dewey said that the purpose of public school was: “to take an active part in determining the social order of the future …according as the teachers align themselves with the newer forces making for social control of economic forces.” John Rockefeller said: “I don’t want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers." He created the General Education Board (later named The Rockefeller Foundation) in 1903 to dispense Rockefeller funds to education. We are all aware that to qualify for funding, you have to fulfill certain requirements. Rockefeller’s influence must not be underestimated.
What is the benefit of “higher education?” Modern education creates people who are smart enough to accurately repeat what they are told and follow orders; and dumb enough to think this makes them smarter than everyone else. “Governments don’t want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. That is against their interests. They want obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passively accept it.”-George Carlin. That same comedian, George Carlin, also said: “Here’s a bumper sticker I’d like to see…We are the proud parents of a child who has resisted his teacher’s attempts to break his spirit and bend him to the will of his corporate masters.”
........
......Higher education costs a pretty penny, and a college loan takes decades to repay, and many are unable to repay it, placing them deep in debt. Occupy Wall Street was a protest of college students and graduates who saw that their college degrees would not guarantee them the employment at high wages as had been promised them. The way that the leaders of our country see it, when you trap people in a system of debt, they are going to be unlikely to change the system, they won’t be able to afford the time to think. The way I see it, they should have thought before they bought the lies of the system.
We are taught the values that we are expected to embrace, in fact, none but the ones desired to be, are made so blatantly infused with every part of our environment. Money, prestige, sex-appeal, and appearances. There is little promoting the concept of altruistic community-service, as such positions as police, social workers, and politicians are called public servants, and we all are aware that the public that they serve are the powerful and wealthy. The values of independent-thinking, non-conformity, integrity, courage, and strength are not enforced nor encouraged anywhere. Schools teach from early childhood to not question authority, to accept what you are told without challenging, no matter what your intelligence or knowledge says otherwise. You are to perform for excelling grades, for a star, for an “honor” button, for a good report card. You seek for teacher’s approval, to be a favorite, and you do as told to acquire that. They do not teach to be internally motivated, to be independent of other’s opinions of you, to have a secure self-esteem in your own worth. You are always afraid of the “permanent record” they have of you, which does indeed exist. Teachers are taught to use psychology of control, and do as trained to, to collect their pay and pension.

Raptor Jet some people, like me, think outside the boxes- here is a solution to schooling disadvantages
The students are not all stupid, some see through the bullshit. Not all believe evolution, not because they believe in the Bible’s creation story, but because it is such an easy hypothesis to debunk. To many, it is a joke. But they have to memorize the “facts,” write down the “correct” answers on the tests to graduate, and thus prove that they are harmless and will not grow into rebelling adults who refuse to conform. Non-conformists are dangerous; indeed, I am one of the most dangerous people on the planet. (To the established order). The children see through the law-and-order agenda and rebel and carry on. White suburbia not so much, they go to school to learn and to be good students, as they want to grow up in a respectable community. They have bought the lie, but urban youth are not so fooled. They scream and laugh and cuss and the teachers can’t do anything about it, and the kids know it. The children don’t mind if the teacher gets in trouble, why respect an establishment order-enforcer parading as a concerned educator? These teachers are not stupid, they know what lies they are teaching, and the psychology of control that they are using, and why. If not, their only excuse is ignorance. Just what we need, ignorant educators.
Instead of spoon-feeding misinformation to unsuspecting children to be regurgitated to pass tests so that they have a diploma to get a better-paying job, I have a better idea. Why not have the best trainers in the community spend some year or so with a few children-maybe seven at a time- teaching them to value having excelling physical and intellectual strength. Why not have the most ethical and intelligent teachers spend 24/7 with just a few children to instill on them integrity, courage, hard work, community-service, confidence, and like qualities; and give them the incentive to continue all their lives improving themselves in every area? After enabling them to think critically, and giving them a few lessons on research and giving them some facts, have them find information on their own, challenge what they were told, and come to their own conclusions? This would dismiss the entire schooling system, the entire media, and the economic system as we know it; and if successful, would be a motivating factor towards the elimination of our governing powers, that is why not. It would not be in the establishment’s interests. The education system as we have it, is established to enforce the subjugation of the people to be trapped in their imposed way of thinking, and to cripple their minds into mind-slavery. That is why the freed slaves were immediately schooled and taught bible upon emancipation. Church and schooling, (and the media) if done correctly, can be the most imprisoning mind-fuckers imagined by men.

Raptor Jet more from my book
The rich always seem to love their money, and justify keeping it only for themselves and as a means to enslave other populations under them. In the 1960s, youth, civil rights activists, radicals and liberals, were taking to the streets in protests. President Johnson activated the war on poverty. Yet despite the protests of a few of his advisors, he decided to take the usual unsuccessful stance- instead of providing jobs for the poor, he pretended to help the poor by preparing them for jobs=more education. If you are educated, what good is it, if there are no jobs? As always, the concept being promoted was that their poverty was the poor people’s fault- they weren’t educated. Occupy Wall Street makes my point as to the faultiness of that idea. Capitalism thrives on the idea of there having to be low-paying jobs to provide more profit for the wealthy- that is why they don’t want to raise the minimum wage. Small business owners don’t want to raise minimum wage. Eight dollars an hour is okay for their employees, but if it was raised, their forty or fifty dollars an hour would be reduced, and that is unthinkable. So say it is the poor people’s fault for being uneducated, for being lazy, for being greedy, when all of those wrong concepts fall into the middle class who buy all that spin. If all poor people went to college to learn business management, who would do the manual labor, who would they supervise? College for everybody is not the answer; and to be honest, college for anybody is not the answer.....
......In conclusion: In the colleges they lecture, spoon-feeding (mis)information to be memorized and regurgitated to pass tests, then you think that you are smart. There is no room for students to challenge the professor and to debate what he teaches, to promote real scientific thinking (the search for ultimate truth and knowledge). In truth, you have been indoctrinated to a "reality" that is deception and oppression. To be accepted in the establishment and to get wealthy, they need evidence that you will keep alignment with the establishment, not make waves, and perpetuate the deception. “Higher” education discourages, actually stifles critical thinking, or original minds. The professor lectures, students listen. Where is the freedom of thought and teaching to be able to analyze and to challenge accepted concepts? Where is the dissent, so necessary to today's situation, facilitated? Conforming is enforced and is the rule and role of education.
“If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.” ― Frank Zappa

Raptor Jet I am glad to hear that you are well read. Personally, I do not follow any philosophers, or high minded theorists. I make a distinction from the meaning fo the word "philosopher"-which of course means lover of truth, from philosophy as practiced, as these "truth-seekers" really were harmful to humanity. Hitler also loved Nietsche, and I debunked Freud and most of psychology, and am able to think well also, having taken down many so-called great thinkers and concepts accepted by billions. So while I may have ignored your "great" teachers, I have learned to challenge what I read for legitimacy and ultimate truth. I don't often read what is not useful, except to find fault to illustrate my more valid points to lend legitimacy to what I state that may be in contradiction to them. People think that because a famous person or teaching is valued and accepted by many (for instance Christianity) that it is truth, correct, and valid. I have proven otherwise.

@bane3991 you assume much regarding what I want to do and regarding my ideas. My idea of anarchy is true anarchy- no government- self-sustaining agricultural communities- of 150 people each- all farming and sharing responsibilities and the products of work. In my society, people are not motivated by money, but to benefit the community. Many people don't work in US because they dont' want to slave for master who profits ten times more than they do for their work. You beleive and swallow so many faulty concepts because they tickle your ears, and make you feel superior as a rich man. IN reality, the rich are foolish, selfish, greedy, misled, stupid, drug addicted pieces of excrement who love being slave masters (have employees) to make themselves feel superior. They have bought into the idea that riches are worth more than human beings, and are willing to lie, cheat, poison, kill, incarcerate, and addict for the nice shiny jewelry and curvy auto or other nonsense=they are stupid.

Raptor Jet perhaps- but remember that I am not socialist, and those that ended up wiht mass murder were communist, and/or fascist, and if you are really aware of real US history, capitalism is being used to destroy humanity- by gathering great riches for themselves, evil people are planning to kill seven billion people with vaccines and other methods-we are close to WW3 and capitalism, touted and bragged about by the rich and ignorant, as well as people waving flags (nationalism) who don't care that their nation has impoverished and/or destroyed scores of others in their endeavor to rule over every nation, as it is known as "one nation under god" and that god is satan. Look at the back of your one dollar bill. My proposal, I will restate as I said before, but your sole intent being to convince me of the evils of socialism, while having no interest in what I say or my side of the debate, just wanting to win and not having any true search for truth-you rightests are alike - most just want to think that their government and nation is wonderful- strokes their egos- my proposasl is democratic anarchy wieth socialist overtones- self-sustainikng agricultural communities. I will not go inot it now, as I tire of your insistance on proving how wonderful your system is.

Jetstom Ferrari Hitler studied Nietzsche- i am only a socialist if you give it this definition
First of all, most people do NOT view “socialism” as “ … equal treatment for all.”
That’s a FEATURE of a just and loving society. Socialism is an economic system in which control of
the means of production resides in the workers and decisions are made democratically and for the benefit of
society (and the natural world) as a whole.
IF you are not for that, then there is something wrong with you. As I have seen enough quotes out of context and as blatantly deceiving, as elements of socialism have lasted many decades. On the other hand, tyranny and monarchy, feudalism, and kings and empires have lasted much longer, and if you want to tell me that longevity means something is necessarily good, you are wrong, it just means that overbearing control has won and the people have been forced into submission.
In the older and "less civilized' societies of tribalism, which lasted thousands of years, there was fairness far beyond your beloved capitalism.
My ideal society is not socialist. Being a truly free thinker, I am not confined to ideals as set by others, but have developed my own. It is self-sustaining agricultural communities of 150 people each, living without government, basically democratic socialist anarchy. Everything except clothing and hygiene is shared, no technology, (no pollution and restore the weather) farming rotating responsibilities, mentors take care of children instead of schooling, I have it all planned, a blueprint is in the conclusion of my book ANGRY LOUD AND CLEAR TRUTH

@TheSlideshowtube Many presidents pretend to be against establishment media- that is a game, not reality. IT doesnt affect the truth or lies of the news media to be aware that they lie. I am stupid, i did not know media was owned by corporations. from my book ANGRY LOUD AND CLEAR TRUTH
First, let me make it very clear: As I explained very clearly in EXPOSING THE MONEY MACHINE, the powers work through the motto: Divide and conquer. Here is a quote from author Edward Herman: “The national security state is an instrument of class warfare organized and designed to permit an elite, local and multinational, to operate without any restraint from democratic processes.” While you see that this was managed to bypass what appears and passes to be democratic legislation, the key word here is class warfare. The powers have, without question, manipulated the planet using money as a tool. And what better way to keep the people in line, than to hold power through currency, and to restrict passage to comfort, luxury, and power only to those who conform to your agenda? Furthermore, a formal education is almost always necessary to acquire comforts; and that education, holding the key to advancement, passes along the doctrines and concepts of those in power, who employ those who have been indoctrinated, to further their agenda; the only method to repay the debt incurred by having the “opportunity” to be thus indoctrinated. Later you will see how the education system has furthered the people’s obedience and inability to think analytically; as well as having misinformed the public.
Within all sources of knowledge regarding how secret intelligence works, I have come across the method used to ensure the perpetuation of the secrecy; how this has been hidden for centuries. It is called “compartmentalization.” Most likely you have heard of terrorist “cells,” small groups of terrorists who work together in a covert network of a larger organization. That is also how parts of the government, especially secret intelligence, works. Smaller sections are assigned different tasks focused on different targets, and work independently of one another, with the agents (spooks) having no knowledge of how other cells work, what they are doing, nor the big picture of what is going on as a whole. This is called the “need-to-know” basis, where they are told that they will only know what is necessary for them to have knowledge of, for the protection of the agency and its employees. In reality, it is a tool to keep the average “spook” or agent in ignorance of his employers real agenda, and thus to prevent the public from the possibility of coming to knowledge via an informant (like I am).

@TheSlideshowtube One more item for this chapter. In “THE PSYCHOLOGICAL COVERT WAR ON HIP HOP” book 2, Professor Griff exposes that the government totally endorses fake news legally. Page 157-“In February 2004, Fox news won a legal appeal that declared that Fox news had no legal obligation to be truthful in its reporting. The court agreed that Fox had indeed been untruthful but ultimately agreed with Fox’s argument that the FCC’s policy against the intentional falsification of the news is not a legal mandate, requirement, or regulation; and that Fox may falsify news reports. Fl. 13th district New World Communications of Tampa Inc. vs. Jane Akre, case no. 2001-529.”
CHAPTER TWENTY TWO: MASTERS OF MANIPULATIVE DECEPTION
In “Unreliable Sources” I found how media and government are wed. Like the military industrial complex, and like pharmaceuticals, and other corporate capitalistic (do not assume that this is the only form of government that does this) ventures, the media has incorporated itself in the rule of this nation (and others), and vice versa. Let me present you here with a list of some revolving doors within media and government. These are found on pages 110-120.
Under Lyndon Johnson’s state department (in high office) were Jack Rosenthal and Leslie Gelb, who became editors of the NY Times. Gelb’s former boss, ex-Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, was on the Times’ board of directors. Gelb left the Times to serve under Carter as director of the Bureau of Politico-Military Affairs. In 1978, he had initiated a covert CIA program involved in working with the European press to write approvingly of the neutron bomb. He had worked for the Department of Defense as a press officer. That makes for a free and unbiased press. Not...
......
The famous Bill Moyers was press secretary for Lyndon Johnson and later was made a household name as commentator and reporter for CBS and PBS.
I am not giving you the full list, but here are some more. Reagan’s communications director, David Gergen, became editor of US News and World Report in 1983, and his deputy, Joanna Bistany became a top executive at ABC News that same year. Peggy Noonan who had been a script writer for CBS radio commentary for Dan Rather later composed speeches for Reagan and Bush. George Will helped prepare Reagan for his debate against Carter, then praised Reagan as he covered the debate on ABC News, “forgetting” to mention his association with Reagan. Instead of hurting his career, when this was uncovered, it enhanced his reputation among media mavens. Page 113-“Both journalists and elected officials tend to view the world in ways that conform to the national security establishment

@TheSlideshowtube these are excerpts from my book ANGRY LOUD AND CLEAR TRUTH
Casey had also been Securities and Exchange Commissioner under Nixon, and owned much CapCities stock until his death in 1987. He advocated covert operations, and was part of a network of spooks who used American companies, especially mass media, as tools of espionage. GE, owner of NBC, had a contract with the CIA to estimate Soviet military strength-while GE accumulated huge profits as a key player in the military industrial complex. Now, they wouldn’t lie, would they?
Ever since the CIA was formed in 1947, publishers and executive management of the media have volunteered their services for the agency- page 114. On page 115, we find some revealing quotes: “One journalist is worth 20 agents” a high-level CIA agent told investigative reporter Carl Bernstein. Former CIA Deputy Director Ray S Cline called the American news media: “the only unfettered espionage agencies in the country.” In exchange for career-enhancing scoops and leaks, reporters alter stories and disseminate propaganda at the request of the CIA. For decades, hundreds of journalists have maintained covert associations with the CIA, and are paid for their services to it. Former CIA director William Colby stated: “Let’s not pick on some poor reporters. Let’s go to the managements. They were witting.”
Tom Braden headed the CIA’s Global Propaganda Operation; after leaving it, he worked as a syndicated columnist and co-host of CNN Crossfire. He once wrote an article in the Saturday Evening Post, called: “Why I’m Glad the CIA is Immoral.” Embarrassing revelations by Carl Bernstein in Rolling Stone magazine in 1977 included the following statement: “There is ample evidence that America’s leading publishers allowed themselves and their news organizations to become handmaids to the intelligence services.”
The NY Times ran a three- part series on the CIA and media shortly later, disclosing that at various times, the CIA owned or subsidized over fifty newspapers, news services, radio stations, periodicals, book publishers and news entities, most of which were overseas. A CIA official told the Times: “We had at least one newspaper in every foreign capital at any given time.” Page 117. CIA documents display that the US public was targeted by CIA propaganda. A July 13th, 1951 memo stated the CIA’s beginnings of mind control operations: “broad and comprehensive, involving both domestic and overseas activities.” Another CIA document of that time explained that CIA officers met regularly to exchange ideas regarding “the broader aspects of psychology as it pertains to the control of groups or masses rather than the mind of an individual.”
The CIA and the press appear to have an attitude in common. That it is okay to deceive the public. Philip Geyelin, a CIA agent who became an editor for the Washington Post, said: “We will get nowhere without first stipulating that while circumstances alter almost any case you can think of, the President has an inherent right- perhaps an obligation in particular concerns-to deceive.”
This pretty much explains the deceptions that pervade all over the world in every aspect of society, and I think you can now very clearly perceive how we have all been misled, and some methods that were used. This is helpful to learn how to immunize

Raptor Jet for your reference, try watching whistle-blowing doctors like dr Francis Boyle, Dr Mercola, Dr Buttar, Dr Gary Null, Dr Andrew Kaufman and a host of others who not only claim vaccinations are harmful, but that covid vaccinations are particularly dangerous. In addition, these doctors, and even Fauci at times, have said that masks are useless against viruses. In addition, regarding the lock-down-do you think that covid only attacks customers of small businesses? why were they closed. but the big businesses remained open? Could this not be a planned destruction of the middle class, and the enrichment of the goliaths? My books speak much more. My book ANGRY LOUD AND CLEAR TRUTH, which was the result of thousands of hours of research showed the harms of vaccinations, the reason doctors prescribe pharmaceuticals -they get a 10-15% commission, and how allopathic medicine (pharmaceuticals) was created, and the harm done by FDA and the medical industry. Rockefeller had much to do with it. And he went to holistic doctors instead. You need to research, and that book is a good starting point.

@haruspex5865 I am working on my book now, but basically, the whole medical field was designed to bring money to the rich and to destroy humanity, as has most of science and military and police and education, and food industry and such. Our world is run by freemasons, who worship satan and want to rule over us all in hell. sound crazy?? yes, but let me go on. why do you think that vaccinations are harmful (almost all nurses now see it, though most doctors won't admit it- they make a fine living off of their field), why have pharmaceuticals tripled their cost in past few years? why have they promoted opioids intentionally? why does the field, as well as media and gov. all promote pills and comfort and convenience instead of proper diet and exercise which would prevent most disease- Monsanto has created GMOs which are all agricultural products have been genetically altered to remove all nutrients from foods- processed sugar removes our enzymes ability to digest food correctly which denies our food nutrients to be properly digested and prevents nourishment from reaching our bloodstream. Most packaged foods contain sweetener. Exercise circulates blood and its oxygen all over the body and rejuvenates the cells in every part of our body, including the brain, and it heals much illness and promotes good mental health- proper eating, exercise, and preventing bad habits like smoking, drinking, and drugging, would promote good health and prevent disease. In the past centuries (before the industrial revolution) people lived as long as we do today- despite the lies fed to you- look up our founding fathers' lives- they lived past 70 years- because we had bad health back then?? the medical research and development were initiated by John Rockefeller, an oil and steel tycoon- who exploited his workers and created the nation's greatest wealth at his time- did he do it to bring good health,or to destroy in money's name??

from ANGRY LOUD AND CLEAR TRUTH
CHAPTER TWENTY ONE: MEDIA’S PROPAGANDA TACTICS
When we discuss the media, there are a few things to keep in mind. Primary to a clear perception and understanding, you need to remember that those on top-the most wealthy and powerful players- are in the Council of Foreign Relations, of which the members are appointed by oligarch David Rockefeller Jr., a kingpin in world affairs.
Let me quote him from his book “Memoirs”-
“some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as internationalists and conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure, one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”
Do you think that the most powerful and wealthy people on the planet who are meeting in secrecy are planning how to benefit us? With that in remembrance, consider that media, including the news, is a business, more specifically an entertainment industry. Entertainment is defined in the Webster dictionary as amusement and diversion.
That is why commercials often seem to attempt to be funny, as do sitcoms. That also explains the videos that focus on superheroes, aliens, monsters, and all kinds of fantasies. I cannot recall the last time I saw an accurate documentary on television. The history channel puts on an appearance of truth, but always falls short of it. TV and radio receive virtually 100% of their income from advertisers, newspapers 75%, and magazines about 50%. It is very concerning that the NY Times has so little visible advertising. How are they funded?
The media are under great pressure to shape their product to accommodate their advertisers. Advertisers influence the media by restricting and whitewashing media content by removing, or threatening to remove, financial support if their demands are not met. Since media are funded by advertising, their economic survival depends on delivering an audience for advertisers. To them, people exist as potential consumers whose most desirable qualities are gullibility and compliance to media advice- watch, believe, obey, buy.
Corporate owners, aligned with the CFR, also have an interest in furthering their agenda. Media news chains have ordered their papers, radio shows, and television programs to adopt a uniform editorial position on certain issues and political candidates, even to support specific worldviews. Management is replaced if it doesn’t perform to the ideals of ownership, and they control which ideas and which version of the facts reach the public. The news that we read is what editors and owners decide to publish, it is not dependent on reporters.
Otis Chandler, past publisher of the Los Angeles Times, said “I’m the chief executive. I set policy and I’m not going to surround myself with people who disagree with me… I surround myself with people who see the way I do.” Other publishers do likewise.
Sponsors influence not only the news, but partner with Hollywood, and every aspect of the media, to shape our mindsets and worldviews. “Unreliable Sources” makes this quote and statement on page 61:- “Proctor and Gamble,” which spends over a billion dollars a year in advertising, once decreed in a memo on broadcast policy: “There will be no material that gives offense, either directly or indirectly to any commercial organization of any sort.” Ditto for Prudential Insurance: “A positive image of business and finance is important to sustain on the air.”
If a business is cast as the bad guy, it must be clear that it is an exception, and the script must also include benevolent business folks, so as not to leave “the wrong impression.” Corporate sponsors are unlikely to underwrite programs that engage in serious criticism of environmental pollution, occupational hazards, or other problems attributable to corporate malfeasance.”

The book was published in 1992, a later year would have resulted in scores of more familiar names and news personalities you would recognize. Let me move on to name a few higher level inter-locks. Robert McNamara, who was Defense Secretary for Kennedy and Johnson retired from the board of directors of the Washington Post Company, and Nicholas Katzenbach, who was Attorney General, also sat on the Post board. Much more influential than journalists are the high-placed top executives who decide policy and editorial practices to be followed meticulously. Other former cabinet-ranking officials also sat on boards of major print media, including NY Times, Los Angeles Times, and Reader’s Digest Association. Corporate boards of the three major television networks are infiltrated with government power-brokers. Carter’s Defense Secretary Harold Brown, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, and General David Jones, Reagans’ Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staff; were all on the board of GE/NBC, as was former Attorney General William French Smith. William Casey had been chief counsel and original board member of CapCities, and became CIA director in 1981, later CapCities acquired ABC during Reagan’s second term. Casey had also been Securities and Exchange Commissioner under Nixon, and owned much CapCities stock until his death in 1987. He advocated covert operations, and was part of a network of spooks who used American companies, especially mass media, as tools of espionage. GE, owner of NBC, had a contract with the CIA to estimate Soviet military strength-while GE accumulated huge profits as a key player in the military industrial complex. Now, they wouldn’t lie, would they?
Ever since the CIA was formed in 1947, publishers and executive management of the media have volunteered their services for the agency- page 114.

Former CIA director William Colby stated: “Let’s not pick on some poor reporters. Let’s go to the managements. They were witting.”
Tom Braden headed the CIA’s Global Propaganda Operation; after leaving it, he worked as a syndicated columnist and co-host of CNN Crossfire. He once wrote an article in the Saturday Evening Post, called: “Why I’m Glad the CIA is Immoral.” Embarrassing revelations by Carl Bernstein in Rolling Stone magazine in 1977 included the following statement: “There is ample evidence that America’s leading publishers allowed themselves and their news organizations to become handmaids to the intelligence services.” The NY Times ran a three- part series on the CIA and media shortly later, disclosing that at various times, the CIA owned or subsidized over fifty newspapers, news services, radio stations, periodicals, book publishers and news entities, most of which were overseas. A CIA official told the Times: “We had at least one newspaper in every foreign capital at any given time.” Page 117. CIA documents display that the US public was targeted by CIA propaganda. A July 13th, 1951 memo stated the CIA’s beginnings of mind control operations: “broad and comprehensive, involving both domestic and overseas activities.” Another CIA document of that time explained that CIA officers met regularly to exchange ideas regarding “the broader aspects of psychology as it pertains to the control of groups or masses rather than the mind of an individual.”
The CIA and the press appear to have an attitude in common. That it is okay to deceive the public. Philip Geyelin, a CIA agent who became an editor for the Washington Post, said: “We will get nowhere without first stipulating that while circumstances alter almost any case you can think of, the President has an inherent right- perhaps an obligation in particular concerns-to deceive.”
This pretty much explains the deceptions that pervade all over the world in every aspect of society, and I think you can now very clearly perceive how we have all been misled, and some methods that were used. This is helpful to learn how to immunize yourself from false concepts and doctrines, to discern truth from fabrication, and to learn to distrust authority and the establishment, as I have learned to do.

@seanpetrash7263 Corporate propaganda, which aligns itself with government propaganda, stifles troublesome journalistic enterprise. Their natural enemy is the investigative journalist who serves the public interest, while propaganda works against it.
The first government propaganda operation in the United States was initiated by Woodrow Wilson’s administration, and was called the Creel Commission. This was during World War I, and it employed propaganda to turn a pacifist population into a hysterical blood-thirsty citizenship ready to annihilate Germany. It adopted the tactics used by the British Propaganda Ministry, whose mission was to “direct the thought of most of the world.”
That was not a new concept, nor a new undertaking, but another facet of the modus operandi of the world’s ruling powers.
In the middle of the nineteenth century, skull and bones member Daniel Gilman, first president of John Hopkins University and of the Carnegie Institute, put into motion in America an educational revolution that subverted the entire education system, targeting it towards their goal of a new world order. He also was instrumental in founding the General Education Board, later to be called the Rockefeller Foundation. Gilman was the one who initiated the education system’s philosophy as we know it to be in today’s United States.
He adopted the Prussian three tier school system, which is constructed as follows: One half of one percent of the population is taught to think, and they are the policy makers, who come from upper-crust families, accustomed to wealth and privilege, except for a few excelling underclass students who are indoctrinated into the ruler’s mindsets, and who are “bought.” Five and a half percent of the population go to universities where they are taught to partially think, but not completely. They become the doctors, lawyers, engineers, architects, etc.. The remaining lower ninety-four percent learn harmony, obedience, how to follow orders, freedom from stressful thinking, and other attitudes for the masses to conform to, so as to render them unable to resist.
I have a question. What would result if one of the lower ninety-four percent learned to think independently and helped distribute the real knowledge freely?
One of my favorite authors, Noam Chomsky, who is another angry American who speaks truth regarding United States’ evils, describes in his short book “Media Control” the character of this country’s ruling powers very sarcastically. A man after my own heart.
Basically, people get into positions where they have authority to make decisions by serving people with the real power, those who own society. If members of the specialized class acquiesce to serving those interests, they can be part of the executive group.
That is achieved by instilling in them the beliefs and doctrines that serve private power, deeply indoctrinating them into the values and interests of those powers, and the state-corporate nexus that represents it. The following quote is from “The Dance of Deception” by Harriet Lerner Phd. “It is good to remind ourselves that those who get high titles and acclaim are not the best and brightest. They have simply been best at being able to unquestioningly follow other’s footsteps, have tickled ears, have been bought. They have been most compromising in bed, have not protested injustices, have turned a blind eye, have shown to be most servile, and to be the ones most willing to relinquish principles in favor of money, fame, and prestige.” End Quote.
The best way to undermine hierarchies is to expose them, to show that the emperor has no clothes, he will then not only be embarrassed but also be deposed by his “subjects.”
The rest of the “bewildered herd” have to be distracted. As a democratic state, you cannot use brute force to keep the masses in line, so you employ the techniques of propaganda.
