Turn off the TV and ignore all ads...problem solved and you won't miss a thing.

Haven't had a tell-a-vision in 40 years. Watching people live their lives today is like walking past the general population grounds of an insane asylum.

You may not remember, but I bet your brain started feeling better almost immediately. You think better and make better decisions; you're more positive and courageous. I've been TV-free for over 30 years and have witnessed the general public become less and less intelligent in that time. It seems commensurate with the decline in quality programming; including the commercials. I've noticed people are paying less attention to their surroundings; regardless of whether their nose is glued to their phone.

I genuinely encourage folks to at least dump the cable/sat service. Pick your own content and eschew the garbage they pump into your livingroom!

Don't have TV or cable, but I still get this garbage from the net. The Guardian Is the worst. propaganda central with so many ads it can't download them fast enough for my old computer. So what it's all just bs. designed to scare the heck out of you. Fear and loathing is all you get.

Try the Off-Guardian articles. As for CV 19, they prove that the "virus" is a hoax and does not exist.

The same is true for radio.

excellent article!! should be required reading in public schools... but you know damn well it never will be, not with the Pepsi and Cheetos machines in the hallways, funding the athletic programs... (not to mention the ever-expanding vaccine schedule that most parents don't even know they can usually somehow opt-out of)

WOW, Rebecca Strong, what an expose! Thank you so much for all your research, honesty and courage.

Thank YOU for this kind and encouraging feedback! And for taking the time to read, means a lot.

This is why we have fake news. Who pays to push the narrative, wins! The people are deceived!

One hell of a story, lots of hard work went into making this fact filled piece. BRAVO-, BRAVO

Thanks a lot for taking the time to read, Brett, and for your kind feedback!

I do not trust any media to report in an unbiased way issues that affect its sponsors. It's one thing for Alison Morrow to advertise Argentinian wines on Locals or in her Rumble videos, or for the Duran to bark its merch. It's quite another for a corporate news channel that gets most of its revenue from Big Pharma to be objective on vaccines or Covid-19. That's why I avoid corporate news and favor reader-sponsored news. If I find a content-creator I think is honest on YouTube, Rumble or some other platform or website, I will very often contribute a few dollars/month or some yearly amount. Most of them don't get rich on such contributions, but they are kept afloat.

The article points out:

The average citizen can’t go out and buy fighter jets and missiles at a local retailer, after all. But that doesn’t matter, because that’s not the objective: it’s to win viewers’ support in the push for the next war.

Drumming up support for war among viewers is not the objective either. The objective is to shove "hush money" to the media, which according to the rest of this article is quite successful. Few people are convince of a pro-war position through defense industry ads. They are convinced through constant bombardment of pro-war "think tanks" and media propaganda purchased through defense industry advertising dollars, such as the very Politico National Security Daily/Morning Defense newsletter the author mentioned (sponsored by Lockheed Martin), or even "sponsored content" donated to the media company.

As this article points out, the MIC, Big Oil and Big Pharma are major beneficiaries of this tactic. As Nolan Higdon, a media studies and history lecturer at Merrill College at the University of California, Santa Cruz, is quoted:

When you have Pfizer funding news outlets that are talking about the vaccine — I’m not necessarily saying those outlets are outright lying, but there’s a very clear conflict of interest there.

"I hadn’t realized until that moment that the advertisers had so much control over what we did and didn’t cover."

The ignorance of so many who have not known that money controls everything is why we have slowly but unmistakenly been on the path to totalitarianism.

Advertising is basically the modern form of the proverbial snake-oil salesman which also includes brainwashing with lying and half-truths as its basis. It exists to control a materialist self-indulged populace too busy to actually use the mind God gave them to think and assess and concentrate on the most important things such as truth, why you exist, and what your purpose is.

Cowardice is the real pandemic in this country.

Decades of apathy and indifference to objective truth and reality and instant self-gratification do create cowards.

I exercise including yoga balancing poses in front of my computer while listening to classical music videos. I switched from socks and bare feet to thick rubber soled shoes for the increase in challenge and I was not nearly so steady. Soon thereafter I got an ad showing how these very shoes can lead to falls while showing a woman in my age group and advertising a drug, to older women in particular, for treatment of decreased bone density in order to prevent a broken hip. Anyone can cite similar examples where AI watches, listens and identifies individual's interests and behavior. I even wonder if it could somehow emit EM signals with the intention of causing an individual to fall, or result in a neural disease. If AI programming can read minds (I've observed that and it makes sense to me that it could) and observe activity, could it not biologically, as well as psychologically, harm minds and bodies? At the very least I should think that the exposure to the constant repetitive suggestions of injury and disease from these ads could very well contribute to those outcomes.

Suppression of the 1st Amendment by corporatists.

I believe that if the news organizations would publish the stories anyway, the corporatists would straighten out their act. Instead, the "watch dog" has turned into a "lap dog" due to cowardice in the press.

This problem would evaporate if all media providers refused to allow advertisers to control their content. I suppose it's a pipe dream to expect for-profit organizations to be ethical.

The concern? Whether or not news outlets that are pulling in millions from these pharmaceutical giants can be relied on for any critical coverage of their products.

The question is: if pharmaceutical companies aren’t fully honest and transparent in how they portray their drugs in advertisements, what’s to say those firms aren’t using their financial clout to squash negative news reports about their products?

Seriously? Just the fact that these 2 comments were framed as questions tells me all I need to know.

Morning traffic on large bridge. Suddenly, half the bridge falls into the water. Good citizen hastily paints a sign alerting oncoming drivers of their impending death. The question is: Are the ragged, flailing, twisted arms of snapping steel and the screams of human beings being rent and impaled enough evidence that I should stop driving NOW?

They're framed as questions because the journalist (myself) is committed to reporting solely on the facts and try, as immensely challenging as it is, to leave opinion/bias out of it. That's the best and only way I've known to set myself apart: to stick to the facts and the data I have access to and trust that the reader is sharp enough to do their own analysis from there. Asking questions is important... don't underestimate the power of it. It leads people to think for themselves and connect the dots — something many have lost the ability to do.

After leaving The Washington Post in 1977, Carl Bernstein spent six months looking at the relationship of the CIA and the press during the Cold War years. His 25,000-word cover story, published in Rolling Stone on October 20, 1977, is reprinted below.

THE CIA AND THE MEDIA BY CARL BERNSTEIN

How Americas Most Powerful News Media Worked Hand in Glove with the Central Intelligence Agency and Why the Church Committee Covered It Up In 1953, Joseph Alsop, then one of America’s leading syndicated columnists, went to the Philippines to cover an election. He did not go because he was asked to do so by his syndicate. He did not go because he was asked to do so by the newspapers that printed his column. He went at the request of the CIA.

Your link doesn't work. I get the 404 error.

Thanks for your heads up Catherine. Give this a go instead.

That link works. I'll read the article.

My apologies this does not happen very often, and thanks for your understanding.

Too long of an article for me. Anything MSM news writes about vaccines and viruses is all propaganda and many people die from the new mRNA vaccines because the news says the vax is 90-95% effective with little or no side effects. Viruses have never been proven to exist, and no nation has an isolated, purified sample of any virus, therefore no vaccine can possibly prevent, or mitigate anything--all massive fraud based upon false "germ theory."

Steve: With the complexity and extent of the lies, brainwashing, and corruption that exists today, it takes very long explanations to get to the truth. Some people may not yet come to the understanding you have and so these lengthy articles just may be the ticket for them to finally wake up to the truth.

Thanks, Catherine, so glad you were able to make it to the end & found it enlightening in some way!

Could be--we never know. What woke me up to fake viruses was in July 2020 when CNN showed an image from the perspective of a "Covid" patient in a hospital room with staff getting ready to ventilate him and the headline read: THIS IS THE LAST THING YOU WILL EVER SEE.

This was not a friendly warning to avoid the virus--this was way over the top and seemed like propaganda to me. I determined to shun the fake news and research the truth, and then finally getting to the dissenting doctors who proved there was was no pandemic and no virus.

PCR was 100% fake as proven in the Corman-Drosten Review by 22 scientists. I then saw that germ theory was 100% fake--not one shred of proof that it exists.

Viruses don't exist and have never been isolated by Koch's Postulates. CHD supports the false narrative and all of fake germ theory.

Could you explain what the Koch Postulates are for those that have no idea what you are talking about?

Yes.

"Koch's postulates are four criteria designed in the 1880's to establish a causal relationship between a causative microbe and a disease. Koch's postulates were developed in the 19th century as general guidelines to identify pathogens that could be isolated with the techniques of the day." (Web)

1. Must be a group of people with symptoms not found in the rest of the population, cultures must be taken from the sick people and grown in the lab.
2. Next comes purification of a suspected pathogen--filtration is done, and then the use of a centrifuge further separates genetic material. Then it's put under a microscope to look for what could be a pathogen.
3. if seen, it must be purified by itself--isolated completely, and then inoculated into healthy animal test subjects to see if they get sick.
4. If made sick with the same symptoms as the original group, it's then re-isolated and if it's a match with the original pathogen, it's proven.

These are my words (same principles) with the use of more modern lab techniques. # 3 is absolutely critical to prove anything causes an illness.

Dr. Kaufman breaks it down in 35 min. as he proves Koch's was not done for CV 19 or any so-called virus.

Virology is a fake, junk science that has never isolated any virus. When they get the culture in the lab, they add Vero C6 cells, (monkey kidney cells) human fetal cell lines and sometimes bovine serum. Then antibiotics are added which causes a cytopathic effect on the culture--they then claim the "virus" which they never isolated, did the damage to the cell lines when it was the drugs. Total quackery.

Thank you. I've read about this but others may not know about it so thank you for your post.

Steve, Viruses do indeed exist. I've seen them with my very own eyes under an electron microscope. COVID is a variant of Corona virus that was genetically engineered in a laboratory to quickly spread through a population aka ' gain of function' Otherwise, Corona viruses are just a class of viruses that cause common cold symptoms.

No, you have not, it could have been anything you were looking at--millions of genetic particles are in the culture. Viruses can only be identified by Koch's Postulates when a suspected pathogen is inoculated into healthy animal test models and made sick with the same symptoms.

You were most likely looking at exosomes made by the immune system. Images we see online of "viral particles" are actually exosomes made by the immune system to help heal us which is why they are there at the point of illness or accident.
