Find That Truth

      Why has so much journalism succumbed to propaganda? Why are censorship and distortion standard practice? Why is the MSM so often a mouthpiece of corporate power? Why do the New York Times and the Washington Post deceive their readers? Why is the truth being turned upside down and inside out by journalists? Why are these young journalists not taught to understand media agendas and to challenge the agenda driven fake objectivity? These are urgent questions that need to be examined in order to put upright America’s slanted media. The short answer is that they would be fired or forced out as so many have been. Tow the leftist corporate line or be gone.

      That being said, it’s clear that not every single thing we see in the mainstream western media is a lie, but it seems that much of it is or at least has corporate and political bias’ behind it, especially when it comes to major global events like war and terrorism and a president they do not want. America’s global propaganda operations include Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia, along with Radio and TV Marti aimed at Cuba, and Middle East broadcasting networks. Moreover, the United States operates a vast network of news agencies that work, officially and unofficially, to promote the interests of the American ruling class all over the world. This is why we here, at The American Constitutionalist, constantly ask our followers to read news from outside the sphere of western influence in order to make a decision for yourselves, not blindly believe what you are being told.

      It’s unfortunate that our world has been plagued by political agendas, and that the infiltration of media has become out of control. Further, it’s disturbing to think that only a handful of corporations run and control mainstream media. The fact that the main source of information and so-called ‘truth’ about our world, and what’s happening on it for Americans, is a television screen with with news from corporations with multiple agendas who dictate government policy. In many cases, what western media says is the complete opposite of what other countries report. We’ve seen this recently concerning Russia and the United States and NATO, ISIS, Europe and the United States and we see it with many other topics as well such as the mysterious political assassinations that happen right here on our soil and elsewhere.

      The bottom line is that each of us is grossly ignorant about the world in which we live. Westerners have gross ignorance about how the world operates by the elites who seek to control our lives because most of us are too busy to get beyond five second soundbites. Nothing's wrong with that ignorance, but we are stupid if we believe that a politician or political party can produce a better life than that which is obtained through peaceable, voluntary exchange of true facts with our fellow man anywhere on earth. Soren Kierkegaard wrote, “Truth always rests with the minority … because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion, while the strength of a majority is illusory, formed by the gangs who have no opinion.” The truth will not be denied. The truth always wins. To the extent that we align ourselves with it, we thrive. To the extent that we deny it, we suffer. To American Patriots, to our readers, we say - use your critical analytical thinking and find that truth.
