1. Hyper-attention On A Particular Event, Issue, and Mantra.
The mainstream media exclusively focuses on a single storyline about an event or an issue, which has the effect of marginalizing other points of view that are equally valid, if not more so. Narratives, not facts and objective data, have taken center stage in the aspiring journalist’s mind. Journalists and editors who oversee the making of the news play the same role as screenwriters in the filmmaking process. Their power stems from the fact that the public looks at news as “real,” whereas they know movies are totally fake. But news in the United States and the West is the farthest thing from being real.
Journalists who are in the service of the U.S. intelligence community and other government intelligence agencies are messengers for power. Their job is to repeat government narratives and government mantras. For example, Al-Qaeda is a mantra, not an international terror organization that is at war with America. Read, “Al Qaeda And Human Consciousness: Al Qaeda, Al Qaeda. . . . An Incessant And Repetitive Public Discourse,” by Prof Michel Chossudovsky. The “Arab Spring” is another mantra that Washington has used to fulfill its foreign policy objectives in the Middle East.
The latest mantra that the mainstream media is using in a domestic context is the “fiscal cliff.” Media messengers for the tyrannical establishment do not discuss how the Federal Reserve’s private money machine, Wall Street bailouts, and the military-industrial complex’s wars have caused the skyrocketing of U.S. debt. They just keep repeating “fiscal cliff,” and then offer bipartisan solutions that will benefit the banksters in power while destroying the living standards of middle class taxpayers and workers.
By focusing on the “fiscal cliff,” rather than the Grand Canyon of Deception that is the unconstitutional Federal Reserve system, the mainstream media legitimizes the looting and pillaging of the American people by the transnational banksters.
2. Production of Fake News Reports.
War propaganda is not a new feature of warfare, but the modern Western mass media has taken this art to its highest technological development. What the American, Israeli, and Western media accomplished on the day of September 11, 2001, is simply astonishing. 9/11 was a riveting Hollywood production, from start to finish, from morning to nightfall. It made Hitler’s propaganda team weep from the beyond. But the official 9/11 story is just one example of how news is manufactured by the government in tandem with the press.
Examples abound in Syria. Propaganda stations like CNN, Al Jazeera, and BBC have reported on fake massacres by the Syrian government, made up the size of anti-Assad protests, and generally exaggerated the intensity of the hatred for Assad within Syria. We cannot rely on the official number of the people who have died in the conflict because the malicious media routinely makes up figures and repeats them until they become accredited as facts.
Up to now, the Western media has painted a very rosy picture of the anti-Assad “rebels” who are foreign-funded Jihadist terrorists, while minimizing the suffering and needless deaths of Assad’s supporters like Syrian-Palestinian actor Mohamad Rafea.
We can clearly see that the revolution in Syria is an imagined revolution and not a real revolution. The Arab Spring is not like an organic plague that spreads from country to country. The U.S., Turkey, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia transported the Arab Spring into Syria, and it met resistance from the politically aware Syrian people and the powerful Syrian state. This is natural because there was never a demand for a violent Jihadi revolution in Syria. The anti-government sentiments in Syria never reached the level of despair, unlike in Egypt, Bahrain, and other countries in the region.
3. Omission of Facts and Alternative Opinions.
Since the mainstream media operates in a politically constructed universe, facts that contradict the word of the U.S. government are suppressed. The integrity of the fake universe is preserved at the cost of destroying the real universe.
Those who have a different opinion of events that transformed America like 9/11 and the 2008 bankster bailout are ridiculed as crazy. When you express alternative opinions that conflict with the official narratives of the U.S. government you are accused of being paranoid, conspiracy theorizing, aiding Al-Qaeda, and drumming up fear for ratings. To learn more about how media propaganda against dissent works, read, “The Propaganda Battlefield: Militants Abroad, Conspiracy Theorists At Home.”
Canceling out reality may work for a while, but it has the last word. It is getting harder for the mainstream media to ridicule independent investigators as conspiracy theorists for pointing out that the U.S. and its dictatorial allies are sponsoring Jihadi terrorism against Syria. Even mainline journalists are beginning to admit it. How can they not? It is pretty tough to cover-up reality.
There are videos of Jihadist mercenaries mass executing civilians and the Western media spin machine is powerless in the face of this kind of explosive evidence. They will just look foolish if they say mass executions by anti-government terrorists isn’t happening and that all the blame for the crisis in Syria falls on Assad’s shoulders.

Also used is the ‘herd response’, the mainstream media contrives compliance with false statistics to make you join the majority. Recently on the ‘News’ the talking head anounced that “98% of the people polled believed in global warming caused by human CO2 footprint”. Making it seem as if anyone denying this stat to be a kook or nutcase.
“A wiseman does not blindly follow the majority” -ancient Chinese proverb
Don’t forget we’ve also had a mad slough of drama television labeled as reality, which provokes a “Don’t think, just react” mentality from a goodly amount of our population. This created 2-D thought patterns in a lot of people and kills off a lot of anything 3-D (or higher) in thought. Aside from nobody paying attention (or retaining information) enough to follow consistent patterns, there’s a huge deal with people just taking sides (Sort of like a championship sporting event). If you spin the hype and create a large enough smoke screen out of issues that are “drama related” you’re creating an instant follower base off of the fiction. They also repeat the terms and basically end up also responding with terms used to discredit. This often didn’t make any sense, was used to downplay facts/the actuality that was going on and was a way to discern how much of a “wall” they have towards seeing everything. In essence they were defending a “purchased truth information source” somewhat mindlessly and it shows. It creates a “you’re either for or against” reaction. There’s no middle ground or “other options” all of a sudden. If it’s outside of what’s being said then it’s “unrealistic” or “wrong”. This is a great way to create followers but an awful way for people to figure out the actuality of the reality presented.
Example:
This was the 1st election I recall that actually created a drama atmosphere, ran on drama and also managed to be a smoke screen at the same time. The major issues both candidates were keeping were largely untalked about because of being overshadowed by “How much to tax the rich” and “what social issues were raised to show partisanship form this past spring”.(Considering bipartisanship passed our rights restrictions, pro corporate american policy, kept “Too big to fail”/”too big for jail” policy and was upping warfare but could pass anything for the people at all, it would have been “bad for business” to show that off.). If you asked anyone about the large amount of what candidates were both about they’d either assume you’re “for the other guy” or would come at you with the rhetoric from their own party as though it was some kind of realistic defense. “I’m a realist, you’re idealistic” was a common one while then saying “that’s just a blanket statement”. What’s most amazing is that nobody was able to use a search engine to look up any of the other 4 parties that were running. (To type in: “(Name of party here/ Constitution,Green, Justice, Libertarian)” + “Platform” + “2012″ was amazingly hard to do. It just didn’t register!) Both party followers have adopted some form of what was complained about during the “W. Elections” of “That’s information planted by an opposition to secure a win”. The GOP supporters ran on that with rhetoric while the Dems used an equal amount of rhetoric and dismissing things as “unrealistic”. When both are backed into a corner on their candidates they run and/or just don’t acknowledge it. They mirrored each other as much as the candidates did.

No need to confuse the meaning. Lets start by examining our own mantras, beginning with individual word usage.
John Bonner was absolutly correct when he said that obummer is a lie. The entire establishment is a lie. All they can do is lie in order to cover up for the last lie. and so on. A 5 year old can see the lies, but adults can’t. Come on man 9t9s assertion is spot on. In order to keep their false power (the media) they have placed so much junk in front in between truth and the lie. I suppose this is what is meant by mantra. I have a difficult time with the english language because of all of the lies. Everything I have learned from it has that it is only there to obscure. Man can not see his power by conditioning himself with the mere semblance of power. The media’s show of strength is so pitiful that it must fail as it always does. Truth is beyond semblance of any kind. All that stand between man and and the power of truth and creation within him is but the learning of the false, and of his attempt to undo the true. Call it what it is man. All that is necessary is to be willing for it to be undone and to be glad that you are not bound to it forever. Man has taught himself how to be bound and imprisoned to false. This is so unthinkable that only the insane, in their deepest sleep could dream. Man is a very powerful being and he has taught himself to be powerless so what possibly is it that he wants to keep for himself that he can not share with the entire life cycle, and want in place of what he already is in and of the universe. Peace is a new thing for it lives in the present and not in some story (lie) made up to suit the needs of media or whomever. It is brand spanking new in all of it’s glory. the lie only distorts peace, and peace of mind is the greatest thing in existance that man can experience. The media is a lie, obummer is a lie and bonner is a lie. Need I say more. Keep it simple folks or the distortions set you up like the thanksgiving turkey. Americans are accustomed to the lie and hold it dear to them. My humble opinion only. No truth here only my opinion only. The truth is something that lives in the present also and if I knew what it was I would surly share it. I think (think) the truth is a collective thing between people and what is true is simply how one sees and perceives their individual world. Peace can never exist where there is anger.
I do not know what anything, including this means. , and so I do not know how to respond to it, and I will not use my own past learning as the light to guide me now. Just ssomething that clears my mind when it is disturbed with lies and distortions. Stay present folks and live in the now as David Ike says to do. There is nothing else. Everything that has ever happened is happening right now and right here. Everything in the past is dead and gone and the future does not exist.
The following is from a book called “Hoodwinked – Watching Movies With Eyes Wide Open” by Uri Dowbenko, p317, in the chapter entitled ‘Tomorrow Never Dies’: Media Moguls – The Perfect Villain:
People instinctively know that the mega-media cartel press lies, manipulates and distorts the truth. Their intuition is right on the money, when you consider the words of John Swinton, former Chief of Staff for the New York Times, called “The Dean of His Profession,” who himself said as much to his colleagues at a dinner before the New York Press Club:
“There is no such thing as an independent press in America. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write his honest opinion, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print…
“The business of journalists is to destroy the truth; to lie outright; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of mammon and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this – toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the marionettes. They pull the strings, and we dance. Our time, our talents, our capacities and our lives are all property of these men. We are intellectual prostitutes.”
You can imagine the reaction he got after that little confessional. Remember that quote the next time you watch CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, or Fox News.
Or read a story by Associated Propaganda, er, Press.
it is not just china and other communist countries that are controlled in their way of thinking, in the west we are made to conform, political correctness has seen to that, we have to watch what we say! cant offend others! what we really think we just keep it to ourself…is there really such a thing as freedom of speech? freedom of thought?
This country has been a preditor piece of crap since 1492 or whatever. Todays predators are just carrying on as usual. It is a damn shame that the ignorant fools who are perpertrating the fraud and holding onto the lie about the greatest country in the world. IIs it possible that the preditor nations have swept over the planet and devistated other countries mainlky black and brown who cant or wont defend themselves .. It is ripe to push countries into the stone age for centuries of preditor infiltration and call them savage and unstable as do so many stupid american fools hold to be the truth. There is no way out of this mess. I personally would rather the NWO take it all because the idiot bigots and moronic Jim Crow era people still think the same way as they and their parents have for hundreds of years. If yanyone can see equality then you whoever you are are a fool. The same savage ignorant fool that is holding onto the past and will never give it up. People who think there is something to be gained except for freedom and liberty are totally delirious. There is no monitary payoff in doing good and what is right and correct. We Stand for the truth in all respects we are man and woman enough to do so. Or you can take your chances with the NWO. I personally would rather them than the old regime of opression by the stupid freaks kept slaves in bondage and murdered all of the Native Indians while driving the mexicans out of the western states. In my opinion these are my real enemies and I have absdolutly no respect for them at all and never will. Suburbanites who moved out of the cities to get away from the crime they helped induce and the hatred they leveled on others while having priveledged paths and kept up the idea they were sopmehow superior. Americans should be flatened if they can not get their shit together. If they cant then I would like to be around to piss on their grave.
