Professional Propaganda Flows daily in the United States

     Who is really controlling the United States? Most drones would say Donald Trump and they would be wrong. They are those who believe everything they see and hear on the media soundbites. Soundbites were invented for a reason and it was not to bring the truth of a situation to the public. It is to deprive them of most all of the facts and shape the story to fit their agenda.

      The media sets itself up as righteous and fair and maybe at one time in our history this was true but the fact is that they have become George Orwell's Ministry of Truth, presenting the public their own reality. Question the validity of a report and you will quickly be slandered and persecuted for your individualism and independent critical thinking. Your version (understanding) of the facts will be labeled “fake news”(thought crimes) that must be corrected by the news media (thought police.)

Who, you say?

     It is the inner circle of powerful international bankers [who] virtually run the United States government and all of it's agencies for their own selfish purposes, controlling both parties and the majority of newspapers and magazines. They use the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of office public officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government. We live in a world of manipulation and propaganda, handed down to us by the global elite. The use of the U.S. military and the CIA in disbursing the false narratives has been known for decades.

     

The mis-information began directly after WWII when the defense contractors had to tool down it's production of war materials. Facing a huge loss in revenue the idea to manipulate the media to keep the American public fearful was instituted by using the CIA as it's “reliable source.” Thus began the “War for Profit” industry and the factories revved up and economy flourished. The cold war had begun. Perpetual Fear = Perpetual Wars = Perpetual Profits, and it continues to this day.

Want facts?

• The United States Senate Select Committee to Study
  
  Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities found in 1975 that the CIA submitted a huge amount of stories to the American press:

• After 1953, the network was overseen by Allen W. Dulles, director of the CIA. By this time, Operation Mockingbird had a major influence over 25 newspapers and wire agencies. The usual methodology was placing reports developed from intelligence provided by the CIA to witting or unwitting reporters. Those reports would then be repeated or cited by the preceding reporters which in turn would then be cited throughout the media wire services. The Office of Policy Coordination (OPC) was funded by siphoning off funds intended for the Marshall Plan [i.e. the rebuilding of Europe by the U.S. after WWII]. Some of this money was used to bribe journalists and publishers.

                                             

• Famed Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein wrote: “More than 400 American journalists … in the past twenty-five years have secretly carried out assignments for the Central Intelligence Agency, according to documents on file at CIA headquarters. In many instances, CIA documents show, journalists were engaged to perform tasks for the CIA with the consent of the managements of America’s leading news organizations. Among the executives who lent their cooperation to the Agency were [the heads of CBS, Time, the New York Times, the Louisville Courier-Journal, and Copley News Service. Other organizations which cooperated with the CIA include [ABC, NBC, AP, UPI, Reuters], Hearst Newspapers, Scripps-Howard, Newsweek magazine, the Mutual Broadcasting System, the Miami Herald and the old Saturday Evening Post and New York Herald-Tribune.”
• A CIA operative told Washington Post owner Philip Graham … in a conversation about the willingness of journalists to peddle CIA propaganda and cover stories: “You could get a journalist cheaper than a good call girl, for a couple hundred dollars a month.”

• When Newsweek was purchased by the Washington Post Company, publisher Philip L. Graham was informed by Agency officials that the CIA occasionally used the magazine for cover purposes, according to CIA sources. “It was widely known that Phil Graham was somebody you could get help from,” said a former deputy director of the Agency. “Frank Wisner dealt with him.” Wisner, deputy director of the CIA from 1950 until shortly before his suicide in 1965, was the Agency’s premier orchestrator of “black” operations, including many in which journalists were involved. 

• One of the best examples comes from 2016, when the Pentagon was caught paying a PR firm more than half a billion dollars to create fake terrorist videos.

     There are thousands of examples of these covert operations running right under the noses of an unsuspecting -mind controlled public. Newly-declassified documents show that a senior CIA agents and the Deputy Director of the Directorate of Intelligence worked closely with the owners and journalists of many of the largest media outlets.

      There had been a longstanding federal law that made it illegal for the US Department of

State to share domestically the internally-authored news stories (American propaganda) that was been sent to American-operated outlets broadcasting(American propaganda) around the globe. All of that changed effective July 2, when the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) was given permission to let US households tune-in to hear the type of programming that has previously only been allowed in outside the United States.

      Since the Smith-Mundt Act was effectively rendered obsolete by US lawmakers on July 2nd 2013 the use of so-called “news” to distract the public's attention away from the reality is rampant. The problem exists wherever the western elite have control, not only in this country, but in western Europe as well. The past election of an outsider to the U.S. Presidency who has called out this abomination has brought to light how bad the situation is.

     The good news is that more and more people across the globe are starting to wake up to all of the misinformation being spread on a daily basis, and that includes the agenda of those behind it. Even a decade ago, the mass populace was not as aware that all is not as it seems, and as a result of this mass awakening, our perception, our thoughts, our collective consciousness is beginning to shift. Many no longer see the world the way it has been presented to us, and we are starting to realize that simply waking up to all of the propaganda that surrounds us is creating big problems for the global elite. You can see them fighting back with the massive amount of anti-Russian stories that spew forth daily.

  

      The first step to changing a problem is to first recognize that problem, and we are still in that process. Many of our fellow citizens have been well programed to keep drinking the kool-aid, but the more people recognize what’s really happening in our world, the more people will take a stand and do whatever they can to change it. This starts with you and me. The more we try, and the more we ‘wake up,’ the closer we get to actions that may change our world.
