The Falsification of History: Our Distorted Reality (86 page)

"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the NY Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years.
 
It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years.
 
But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government.
 
The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."
 
David Rockefeller, speaking at the Bilderberger meeting in June 1991 in Baden Baden, Germany

“We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes.
 
We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance.
 
Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men.
 
We are intellectual prostitutes."
 
John Swinton, editor New York Times, 1863

Being told or feeling that we can be and are being manipulated by an unseen or a hidden hand does not fit the world-view of most of the members of the human race.
 
It is almost a matter of pride that we strongly believe that we are masters of our own destiny and would not be swayed by propaganda or subtle manipulation from a third party.
 

Let me say immediately that that view is absolutely, utterly wrong.
 
It is a gross self-deceit to believe that we are able to resist the intentional programming, subtle social-engineering and psychological manipulation that is used upon us 24/7, all of our lives.
 
Whether it be through the use of invasive advertising techniques or simply through subtle psycho-babble or even subliminal messaging, we are all subjected daily to a constant stream of data designed to shape our thinking and even influence our every action.

If any group, small or large intends to influence and therefore control the masses then it is a given that it will need to have absolute control over the information that they receive and by doing so exert a powerful, irresistible influence over them.
 
This makes control of the media (of all kinds) absolutely essential to any tyranny, because please make no mistake, that is exactly what we have here.

It is not an exaggeration to state that 96% of the world’s media, both written and audio/visual is owned and controlled by six Elite families.
 
The two primary sources of the entire western world’s news are Associated Press (AP) and Reuters and this is whence almost 100% of all newspaper and TV/radio news emanates.
 
AP and Reuters are themselves owned by two related Elite families and may well now even be part of the same conglomerate at the very top.
 
Newspaper editors, reporters, TV news presenters and roving reporters do not seek out for themselves they information they impart to us, they merely repeat information that is passed to them by what they assume to be reliable, trustworthy sources but are in actual fact, anything but.

Given these facts, are we surprised that it is so simple for such a tiny minority of people to control the vast majority with such ease?
 
How many of us actually question whether the written media, BBC, SKY or ITV in the UK or Fox, CNN and CBS among several others in the US are telling us the truth when it is so easy for them to lie, not just about small events but about huge world and life-changing events also.
 
All we hear/read unfortunately is nothing but Elite disinformation and propaganda and whilst the events being reported may well actually be happening, it is almost guaranteed that their causes and the parties involved are not as they are portrayed to us, but are twisted beyond recognition to fulfil the Elite agenda.

Why does this matter?
 
Because influence via the adept packaging of information and images is extremely effective in creating a desired mind-set.
 
The creator of the public relations industry, Edward Bernays, was the nephew of Sigmund Freud and he devised a methodology designed to use the subconscious to shape public opinion.
 
His books included ‘This Business of Propaganda’ and ‘Manipulating Public Opinion’.
 
However, it absolutely does not fit our self-image of being the totally independent masters of our own views, to recognise that we are being artificially induced into self-denial of the fact that the truth is constantly being invented and manipulated to unduly influence our thinking.

In his classic work, ‘Influence: The Art of Persuasion’, Robert Cialdini describes how salesmen are now trained using basic sales techniques, to adroitly use social-conditioning and norms to elicit favourable responses.
 
Cialdini, a social psychologist, notes that even though he is fully aware of these techniques, he is nevertheless unable to personally resist them.
 
How simple then to use these very same techniques upon an entire, unsuspecting populace?

A major element of media manipulation is through the power of multi-national corporations.
 
The media will never dare to report anything too negative about for example, banking, financial services, large corporations or government departments/individuals lest they lose access to the source of their information.
 
This principle may also be applied to advertising revenues, which may well receive a fatal blow if the corporation/government in question decides to retaliate in return for unfavourable coverage.
 
In many cases it may also be true that the media company has some deep-rooted connection to the corporation, if the pyramids are followed to the very top.
 
The private sector has indeed learned the often effective lesson that the threat of freezing-out a reporter is an extremely powerful weapon in retaining control of its own versions of the ‘truth’.
 
This may well be the sorry state of affairs that one associates with communist/fascist dictatorships and banana republics from the twentieth century, but needless to say perhaps, unfortunately this has been the situation afflicting our society for many years now.
 
Elite Corporate and governmental interests are now firmly in control of ‘the message’, whatever that may turn out to be.

So with what does this leave us?
 
A mainstream media that predominantly bases its stories on what it is spoon-fed by third parties, because it has no choice in the matter.
 
Ever-leaner staffing, compressed news cycles and access journalism all conspire to drive reporters to focus on the big stories of the day and which are to a large degree influenced by the parties that initiate the story in the first instance.
 
This is all also similar to the effect achieved when reporters are seconded to military units on the ‘front line’ where they will naturally adopt the views of the people with whom they associate frequently and this only serves to help confirm that the media has fallen under the tight control of powerful interests.

“The Media, which is almost exclusively owned by a tiny number of individuals who are loyal to the aims of the royal-political elite, promote the idea that via debate and elections, the People have some influence over the royal political elite.
 
The media reinforces a view that the government exists in order to take on the responsibility of serving and protecting the People.
 
The People have been sold the idea that because they have a government, then the responsibility of caring for their nation is being taken care of by the government.
 
The People do not realise that by allowing a government of usually, wealthy individuals who play the role of politicians, to run a government 'for' the People, that this encumbers the People with a greater responsibility and that is to carefully scrutinise and monitor the activities of the government.”
 
Chris Everard, geopolitical researcher, author and film producer

The largest media conglomerate today is the Walt Disney Company Inc., whose chairman and CEO, Michael Eisner, is Jewish in line with the vast majority of the rest of the owners of the mainstream media and entertainment industry.
 
There is of course nothing wrong per se with Jewish people owning media organisations, but when an entire industry is owned almost 100% by one group, representing a tiny minority of the overall population (less than 1%) then this should naturally lead to questions of impartiality regarding the overall message that we are being ‘fed’ 24/7.
 
But of course it does not, as even that prerogative is denied us by dint of the fact that those in control of ‘the message’ also control who becomes privy to that fact itself.

The Disney Empire, headed by a man described by one media analyst as a ‘control freak’, includes several television production companies (Walt Disney Television, Touchstone Television, Buena Vista Television), its own cable network with 14 million subscribers and two video production companies.
 
As for feature films, the Walt Disney Picture Group, headed by Joe Roth (also Jewish), includes Touchstone Pictures, Hollywood Pictures, and Caravan Pictures.
 
Disney also owns Miramax Films, run by the Weinstein brothers (Jewish, too).
 
When the Disney Company was run by the non-Jewish Disney family prior to its takeover by Eisner in 1984, it epitomised wholesome, family entertainment.
 
While it still holds the rights to Snow White under Eisner, the company has now expanded into the production of works incorporating graphic sex and violence.

In addition, it also has 225 affiliated stations in the United States and is part owner of several European TV companies.
 
ABC's cable subsidiary, ESPN, is headed by president and CEO Steven Bornstein, a Jew and this corporation also has a controlling share of Lifetime Television and the Arts and Entertainment Network cable companies.
 
ABC Radio Network owns eleven AM and ten FM stations, again in major cities such as New York, Washington, Los Angeles and has over 3,400 affiliates.
 
Although primarily a telecommunications company, Capital Cities/ABC earned over $1 billion in publishing in 1994 and it owns seven daily newspapers, Fairchild Publications, Chilton Publications and the Diversified Publishing Group.

Time Warner Inc., is the next largest of the international media giants.
 
The chairman of the board and CEO, Gerald Levin, is also a Jew.
 
Time Warner’s subsidiary HBO is the country’s largest pay-tv cable network.
 
Warner Music is by far the largest record company in the world, with 50 labels, the biggest of which is Warner Brothers Records, headed by Danny Goldberg (Jewish).
 
Stuart Hersch is president of Warnervision, Warner Music’s video production unit and of course Goldberg and Hersch are Jewish.
 
Warner Music was an early promoter of ‘gangsta rap’ through its involvement with Interscope Records and it therefore helped popularise a musical genre whose graphic lyrics explicitly urge black people to commit acts of violence against white people. In addition to cable and music, Time Warner is heavily involved in the production of feature films (Warner Brothers Studio) and publishing. Time Warner's publishing division (editor-in-chief Norman Pearlstine, a Jew) is the largest magazine publisher in the USA (Time, Sports Illustrated, People, Fortune).
 
When Ted Turner, a gentile (non-Jew) made a bid to buy CBS in 1985, there was panic in media boardrooms across the nation.
