Corporate media in America
ignores many valid news stories.
Certain
topics are simply
forbidden in mainstream corporate
media.
"To openly cover these news stories would stir up questions
regarding "inconvenient
truths" of the the US power
structure." - Peter Phillips
"Journalistic content is a technical complex
expressly intended to adapt
man to the machine" - Jacques Ellul,
Technological Society, 1964
"The
jounalism of the United States, from top to bottom, is the personal affair -
bought and paid for - of the wealthy families." - Ferdinand Lundberg,
America's 60 Families, 1937
1921 Dorothy
Thompson poses as a Red Cross medical assistant and infiltrates the inner
circle of the former King Karl I, a Hapsburg (German royal family) who sought
to reclaim the Hungarian throne.
1925 Dorothy
Thompson, New York Evening Post European bureau chief, writes sharply
insightful articles about the volatile political situation on the continent,
especially the rise of an emerging agitator of the National Socialist German
Workers’ (Nazi) Party named Adolf Hitler.
1928 Dorothy marries Sinclair Lewis.
1931 Dorothy interviews Hitler.
"He speaks always as
though he were addressing a mass meeting . . . a hysterical note creeps into
his voice, which rises sometimes almost to a scream. He gives the impression of
a man in a trance." - Dorothy Thompson
1934
Hitler expels Dorothy.
1938 Dorothy pens
Refugees: Anarchy or Organization? laying out the challenges facing
refugees from the Spanish Civil War and the Nazi regime while reporting on
Kristallnacht.
1939 Dorothy disrupts a
rally of American Nazi sympathizers, the German-American Bund.
Dorothy
has a syndicated worldwide column, reaching 9 million readers through 170
newspapers, and is the highest paid lecturer in the United States.
Time magazine puts her on
the cover and says that apart from Eleanor Roosevelt she is the most
influential woman in the United States.
December
1942 Nazi Germany’s plan for mass murder first appears in
American newspapers.
Dorothy organizes
a public statement opposing Nazism:
"We, Americans of German descent,
utterly repudiate every thought and deed of
Hitler and his Nazis. Other
Americans must know where we, and you, stand. Add your name to ours!"
1946 Let the Promise Be Fulfilled: A
Christian View of Palestine
1950 American
Council for the Relief of Palestinians makes Sands of Sorrow which
focus' on the human consequences of the mass displacement of the Palestinian
Arabs, caused by the creation of the State of Israel.
The film is
introduced by Dorothy, famous in the war years for her internationalism,
anti-Nazi campaigns, and tireless support of Jewish refugees.
She is
never heard from again in the popular
press.
1981 Grace Halsell publishes
Journey to Jerusalem.
What
Christians Don’t Know About Israel
"The military newspaper
Stars and Stripes reported that the Pentagon is using its
favorite public
relations firms, the Rendon
Group, to produce profiles of reporters requesting to embed with US
forces in Afghanistan.
Profiles graded
reporters' past coverage as "positive," "neutral" or "negative," sometimes
suggesting how to "neutralize" expected negative coverage or how to design
embeds to "result in favorable coverage".
In some cases, the profiles
prompted military officials to reject reporters' embed requests." - The
Weekly Spin, September 9, 2009
"Christ is important because his solidarity with
his brothers
and sisters is what guarantees
salvation in the
present."
Jon Sobrino Jesus the Liberator
"Investigative reporting -
the kind Jack Anderson
used to do regularly and which was carried in hundreds of papers across the
country, the kind of muckraking, data-intensive work that takes time and money
and ruffles feathers - is dying.
To begin with, investigations take
time and money.
In America's cash-short, instant-deadline journalistic
world, there's not much room for that.
Are there investigative reporters
in America?
I'll mention two:
Seymour Hersh, formerly of the
New York Times, and Robert Parry, formerly
of the Associated
Press, who uncovered the
Iran-Contra
scandal.
Robert Parry tells me that he can no longer do investigative
work within the confines of an American daily newsroom.
One of the biggest disincentives to
doing investigative journalism is that it jeopardizes future access to
politicians and transnational corporate elite.
During the I. Lewis
"Scooter" Libby trial, the testimony of Judith Miller and other American
journalists about confidences they were willing to keep in order to maintain
access seemed to me sadly illuminating." - Greg Palast
"Professional journalism had
three distinct ceaseless biases built into it.
First, it regards
anything done by official sources, government officials and prominent public
figures, as the basis for legitimate news.
Second, professional
journalism posits that there had to be a news hook or a news peg to justify a
news story.
This helped to stimulate the rapid rise of the public
relations (PR) industry.
Surveys show PR accounts for between 40 to
70% of what appears as news.
Thirdly, professional journalism smuggles
in values conducive to the commercial aims of the owners and advertisers as
well as the political aims of the executive boardroom class." - Robert
McChesney

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has
been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their
agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race.
Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This
web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the
Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery religion based
on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme
leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is
encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer
through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the
spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of the
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the
violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already
controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global
industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse
of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of
global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values
have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior
corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction
of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to
the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction
and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
All
