    Default The XVI Amendment Beguiles And Persuades

    The black & white social dramas made by Hollywood soon after sound was added to motion pictures became the foundation for sound & image propaganda. Television effectively built upon the prototype. In short: No picture, or pictures, ever converted anyone to anything, while the spoken word has done just that on many occasions. Pictures beguile —— sound persuades.

    My point. Communism will never be defeated in this country because of tax deductible advertising dollars. The Parasite Class owns television’s news and entertainment content. Without unconstitutional tax dollars paying for the wedding between product sales and propaganda the American people would have joked about television:


    “There is no truth in Pravda and no news in Izvestia.” That was the famous joke during the dark days of the Soviet Union regarding its two major newspapers – Pravda, which means “truth,” and Izvestia, which means “news.”

    Pravda:


    The newspaper began publication on 5 May 1912 in the Russian Empire, but was already extant abroad in January 1911. It emerged as a leading newspaper of the Soviet Union after the October Revolution. The newspaper was an organ of the Central Committee of the CPSU between 1912 and 1991.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pravda

    Izvestia:


    Izvestia is a daily broadsheet newspaper in Russia. It was a newspaper of record in the Soviet Union from 1917 until the dissolution of the USSR in 1991.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izvestia

    There was no television in the Soviet Union, or in the U.S. worth mentioning until a decade or so after the end of WWII.


    In 1938, television broadcasting began in Moscow and Leningrad under the auspices of the All-Union Committee for Radiofication and Radio Broadcasting at the USSR Sovnarkom

    On 1 October 1934, Russia's first televisions were produced. The B-2 had a 3 × 4 cm screen [3] and a mechanical Raster scan in 30 lines at 12.5 frames per second. On 15 November 1934, Moscow had its first television broadcast. It was a concert. Then, on 15 October 1935, the first film was broadcast.

    On 9 March 1938, a first experimental studio television program was broadcast from Shabolovka tower in Moscow. Three weeks later, the first full film, The Great Citizen was broadcast. On 7 June 1938, a television broadcast was trialled in Leningrad.

    Communism imploded in the Soviet Union regardless of print and television propaganda, while the Parasite Class in the U.S. used propaganda to absorb political power and the nation’s wealth. Note that televison sells far more collectivism than it sells products.

    Here is a terrific article about propaganda, but it never addresses the overpowering instrument of mind control ever devised —— TELEVISION.


    “There is no truth in Pravda and no news in Izvestia.” That was the famous joke during the dark days of the Soviet Union regarding its two major newspapers – Pravda, which means “truth,” and Izvestia, which means “news.”

    The sole purpose of those two giant propaganda mills cynically disguised as journalism organizations was to guard, protect, lie for and defend at all costs the elite ruling class in charge of the 20th century’s most destructive totalitarian regime.

    Ironically, here in America – the nation that defeated the Soviet Union – almost all of today’s “mainstream media” serves the same purpose as Pravda and Izvestia once did: To protect, defend, and lie day in and day out to preserve this nation’s elite ruling class. That includes the wildly radicalized Democratic Party, as well as the permanent governing bureaucracy called the “deep state,” and even today’s violent neo-Marxist blitzkrieg dedicated to tearing down and transforming what they all condemn as an unjust, immoral and irredeemably racist country.

    This total corruption of what was once a vibrant news establishment is powerfully and insightfully explored in the October issue of WND’s monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “GUARDIANS OF THE SWAMP: How angry, entitled and shockingly dishonest ‘journalists’ are destroying America.”


    If anybody is destroying America it is a dozen or so television’s press barons who own the transmitters and their editorial staffs.


    A few of the hottest battlegrounds in the establishment media’s war on traditional America:

    * Millions of Americans wonder aloud how it’s even possible that someone like Joe Biden – who not only is obviously disintegrating mentally, is wrong on virtually every issue, and lies continually, but also, as reams of new evidence prove, is one of the most spectacularly corrupt politicians in memory – could become the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate.

    Wonder no more:




    * Likewise with regard to his vice-presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, who would likely become president sometime during Biden's first term, as he inevitably fades further and fails. In addition to being rated the most leftwing member of the U.S. Senate by the nonpartisan GovTrack.us, Harris has also proven to be one of the most thoroughly unlikable, abrasive, condescending, greedy, grasping, shallow and insincere candidates in a generation.

    * As openly Marxist revolutionary groups like Black Lives Matter and Antifa have burned, vandalized and looted America’s cities daily for months, destroying businesses, assaulting and sometimes murdering people, today’s journalists have routinely dismissed it all as “mostly peaceful protests” against “systemic racism” and “police brutality” – while complaining loudly that America is actually under siege by “white supremacists.” Those who dare point out that it’s really hard to find many genuine “white supremacists” in today’s America, let alone rampaging hordes of them laying waste to the nation’s cities, are of course immediately condemned as white supremacists themselves.

    * Since explosive proof finally emerged that Hillary Clinton was the person behind the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, the media have ignored the true story of the worst political scandal in American history: It was Clinton, not Trump, who actually colluded with Russia. It was she who bought Russia’s intelligence product (the fake “Trump dossier”) and then channeled the false, defamatory “intel” through cooperative American news organizations – precisely mirroring the modus operandi of Soviet disinformation campaigns of yesteryear. That is, carefully create a false narrative to advance a secret agenda, and then induce trusted Western media to broadcast the disinformation as “news.”

    * Instead of the media apologizing once their four-year Trump-Russia hoax was definitively exposed as a fraud, many of the top-tier deep-state conspirators that engineered the Russia collusion hoax actually joined today’s media! In their post-Obama careers, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe became either paid cable news analysts or frequent commentators. Most recently, Lisa Page, disgraced FBI agent and paramour of even-more-disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok, was hired as the new national security and legal analyst at NBC News and MSNBC.

    * Meanwhile, the promised Biden-Harris agenda – from virtual open borders and mass amnesty, to the confiscation of “assault weapons” (otherwise known as semiautomatic firearms), to eliminating America's fossil fuel industries, to socialized medicine, to fundamentally altering America’s constitutional system of government by “packing” the Supreme Court, eliminating the Senate filibuster, abolishing the Electoral College and much more – would rapidly lead to a totalitarian dictatorship in the United States of America.

    Finally, neither television nor Big Tech have First Amendment press protection. They do not need the First Amendment in order give Congress cover —— COVER is the game they all play so they can cite the rest of the Constitution without defending freedom of speech.


    Notice that the press would still enjoy freedom of speech like the rest of us, but they would have to defend freedom of speech as a matter of self-interest instead of only defending their constitutional privilege while they feed the rest us to Socialist/Communist wolves.

    The basic test of freedom is perhaps less in what we are free to do than in what we are free not to do. It is the freedom to refrain, withdraw and abstain which makes a totalitarian regime impossible. Eric Hoffer
