Quote from: Frood on April 18, 2025, 05:23:36 AMI've been battling the owner of a website for months over why they allow guest posts from a Scientology front which asks for donations to do seemingly good work but with no disclosure about their origins or links.

Corruption is everywhere... even places you find have merit.

Ah hell, I know that. Any charitable foundation has a degree of scamming.

I know that Frood. I'm surprised more people don't see it that way to be honest, as obvious as it appears to these eyes. I guess they just cannot accept that deep down their own "champions" are not beyond reproach themselves, that the very fact their groovy guy or gal is in opposition to people that have been reliably identified as pigfucking swine must somehow make them righteous or some such bullshit.

I mean look at Faux News.... a conservative outlet, fighting the Good Fight against the CNNs and MSNBCs. Sounds like the sort of crew MAGA should be rallying behind and indeed a large number of them do exactly that... giving oxygen to their content in spite of it being owned by the Murdoch family, one of the most corrupt business organisations on the planet.

Tucker Carlson found that one out the hard way, huh? 

Quote from: . on April 18, 2025, 05:15:07 AMYou're talking about Operation Mockingbird. But it actually goes back even further than that... back to a few years after the birth of radio in fact. A century or so. Back then, pretty much anyone with a little technical know how and a little capital could create their very own radio station, reaching anyone with the ears to hear. With whatever meesage they cared to disseminate.

Clearly this did not sit well with the ruling class, so they regulated the medium, imposing stiff penalties for anyone who didn't abide, instituting an onerous system of licensing and revoking those of anyone they felt was a threat. In places like England and Australia, they even charged license fees for those better heeled individuals who could afford their own radios to receive these broadcasts and in pretty much every market you care to name, the associated militaries of those countries were quick to adopt radio as a medium for influencing the general public on matters they determined were congruent with their aims.

So when Biggie starts a thread declaring the crookedness of media, it's old news from where I sit. And it's not just the government who has recognised the value of mass media as a way to scare the sheeple into "acceptable" forms of action either; you will no doubt be aware of elements of the lobbyist class using it to influence governments into courses of action favourable to third party interests. No media outlet is immune from this corruption and it's a prime driver why I periodically give DKG shit for the bot accounts he runs on this site that echo outlets like Fox News et al. Most people do not bother to look too deeply as to who is behind the outlets they accept as authoritative sources, most people end up being the unwitting agents or agendas which run counter to their own interests as a result.

You can only tell people this so many times before it becomes apparent they are only happy for this corruption to continue the way it is.

I read the Bible from cover to cover and, WOW, talk about preachy, everyone is a sinner, except for that one dude.

The Liberal Party just did the dirtiest trick I have ever seen in a federal election to the Conservatives, but the msm will barely mention it.

As a student of the bible, having read it cover to cover nearly 3 times I learned long ago that with over 750,000 words in total if you want to, through the process of omission, context manipulation and just playing upon plain ignorance you can literally get a bible passage to support ANYTHING you choose

this is why I take NO ONE's word for anything I believe in. I go to the source. I may quote conservative sources consistently but this does not mean I blindly take whatever they say as gospel

Quote from: Biggie Smiles on April 15, 2025, 09:57:08 AMType in the name of the El Salvadorian from Maryland what was deported and place in a max security prison and you will find a sea of propaganda about how the supreme court ruled 9-0 in favor of the el Salvadorian

terms like.. Trump is defying a court order! and He must facilitate the return of this foreign national etc etc

Notice how I have withheld all of the anciliary details the right is injecting into the equation? aka the claim that he is a gang member?

why? Because I don't have the facts to substaniate that claim. yet

and so I did a little digging because I like to read court orders for myself -- because, unlike the scum on the left I both posses the mental aptitude and thirst for truth that would compel a person to do so

and what do I find when I go looking for this 9-0 ruling? An opinion piece authored by the 2nd dumbest judge on the court, who's opinion, when considered in a vacum and in the absence of the other 8 has about as much worth as the last used dildo pulled out of Admin's leaky asshole

Now ask yourself, why isn't the actual ruling available online like every other FIVE days after the order but this opinion piece is?

Dayum.

THe media knew how to effectively run this propaganda on a stupid and uniformed public 30 years ago

and I present to you a 1997 movie named "the running man" as just one piece of evidence.

some might say "just a movie" -- I say " a fucking blue print"

watch these two clips

the first outlining how they present the main character (ben richards) to a duped public to incite their support

and the second, what REALLY happened.

Notice how no words were actually changed, and it was just the simple execution of omission that allowed them to change the entire context and derive the narrative they were looking for?

remind you of anything?

Good people on both sides, perhaps? Or maybe, peacefully and patriotically?


See, once the scum on the left resorted to this tatic they lost me and I became determined to do my own reseach. Hence, I how became as red pilled as I am today.
