The widespread, systematic implementation of propaganda dates back to at least the World War 1 era when Edward Bernays – the nephew of Sigmund Freud and the Father of Propaganda – began working with Woodrow Wilson. The dissemination and proliferation of “fake news” for the purpose of “thought control” is a form a fascism that is seeded in the Totalitarian creep that is engulfing the U.S. political system.
The commentary published by John Whitehead of the The Rutherford Institute is a must-read in order to put the “fake news” problem into its proper context.
[T]the “news” we receive is routinely manufactured, manipulated and made-to-order by government agents. Not when six corporations control 90% of the media in America. And not when, as Davies laments, “news organizations which might otherwise have exposed the truth were themselves part of the abuse, and so they kept silent, indulging in a comic parody of misreporting, hiding the emerging scandal from their readers like a Victorian nanny covering the children’s eyes from an accident in the street.”
The Pentagon has now designated “information operations” as its fifth “core competency” alongside land, sea, air and special forces. Since October 2006, every brigade, division and corps in the US military has had its own “psyop” element producing output for local media. This military activity is linked to the State Department’s campaign of “public diplomacy” which includes funding radio stations and news websites.

The manipulation of economic data and the markets is yet another insidious form of propaganda and implementation of political/economic control. I’ve detailed ad nauseum evidence of the fraudulent economic data across a wide range of Government reports – employment, GDP, housing, inflation, etc.
This is going to get worse regardless of who or which party occupies the White House. It’s about control and power. Ultimately the Government has no control over the laws of economics. When the majority of the population feels the pain of economic distress in spite of the misleadingly optimistic economic reports, the Government has no choice but to implement control policies in order to maintain its power.
There is nothing we can do about this but you can prepare accordingly if you at least recognize the truth. If you want to see who this plays out, I would suggest re-reading “1984” and “Atlas Shrugged.”
Let me be the first to congratulate you on making the Jeff Bezos
list of anti American web sites. From one deplorable to another
it’s a great day for you and the rest of us.
Forward Soviet, LMAO !

LOL – I’m honored
Thanks for that link, Nikita. Aside from this nefarious site (comrade Dave, are you not ashamed of yourself?), I now have a great many more to peruse so that I might completely subjugate myself as one of Putin’s puppets (hey, I might as well go all in!).
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness, comrades.
(sarcasm off)
Just looked at the list and it looks an awful lot like my bookmark page. Never realized I was such a stooge for Russians subversives.
Congrats Dave, the Washington Post listed you as one of the many “sophisticated Russian propoganda tools”
I was prepared for the surreal, but not as ready as I needed to be, and I’m now certain it will get far worse.
McCarthyism 2.0
Washington Post Highlighted Hit List of “Russian Propaganda” Websites
Unfortunately, this is apparently all we know so far about this shadowy organization, which is simply hilarious considering the group deems any alternative news source that does not agree with the U.S. government narrative to be either outright Russian propaganda, or “useful idiots.”
Here’s “the list:”

You made the list. You must be doing something right.
I’m really proud of that designation.
Unplug from the lamestream media. Dont buy the newspapers (most have already bailed), reduce or eliminate watching TV or movies. Let them die on the vine. Looking at that wapo list, wtf is left worth reading? You would have to have a shoe size iq to spend time at the “approved” news sources. Maybe thats what those vaccines are all about?
You couldn’t have summed it up more succinctly:
“Ultimately the Government has no control over the laws of economics. When the majority of the population feels the pain of economic distress in spite of the misleadingly optimistic economic reports, the Government has no choice but to implement control policies in order to maintain its power.”
“control policies”
How do we control you [and your mind]?…let me count the ways.
The proletariat hope you have enjoyed The People’s Holiday of Thanksgiving, and are eager to resume work on the new directives from the Kremlin comrade Kranzler.
