The Propaganda Matrix

The most powerful weapon on the planet is control of perception and it is a “binary weapon” made up of hundreds of companies, government agencies and organizations that give the population their information to create and control their “culture.”
Cult-ure is the dominant belief system, and the root word might as well be cult, which is why police/ judges/ bailiffs/ sheriffs/prosecutors/prison guards and “soul-diers” and other “order followers” can’t be reasoned with.

Plato tells this story in his Allegory of the Cave, where prisoners were chained facing the wall of a deep cave. Behind the prisoners was a walkway, and behind the walkway, was a fire. Puppeteers crossed the walkway holding objects that cast shadows on the wall. The “shadow play” became the prisoner’s life, and even when one prisoner escaped to see the reality of the world, he could not explain that reality to his former friends because they had no frame of reference, because all they ever knew was the shadow play.

The Modern Plato’s Cave of Monopolized Media and Algorithmic Censorship

Organized crime “governments” have used this system to convince their populations that the world is a certain way and it is everyone’s duty to turn over 50% of their income in overt/covert taxes while using the theft of fractional reserve banking inflation, military procurement fraud, no-bid contracts, government-granted monopolies and dozens of other invisible means of robbery and economic warfare against them. This allows organized crime to steal trillions and easily spend hundreds of billions a year controlling every screen and distracting/deceiving every audience.

Obscene criminal profits are generated in many ways: the theft of taxes, which are laundered through the governments to the organized crime “slave owners” through their monopoly banking/oil/pharma/militaryindustrial-complex companies. Interest on the national debt, “bailouts,” “stimulus,” and free money from fractional reserve banking for Big Banking, mandatory profits from mercury and aluminum-laced vaccines for Big Pharma, ethanol and agricultural subsidies for Big Ag, unneeded military spending benefits the big militaryindustrial-intelligence complex who continually menace the population with staged wars and false-flag terrorism.

The fact that the world is a self-organizing system that produces spontaneous order, both political parties are run by the same criminal interests, and there is no need for “governments,” and the force and violence they employ are ideas that are never presented to the tax slaves… on any channel… until now.

The Art of Liberty Foundation White Rose MUCHO GRANDE Poster showing six monopoly media companies running hundreds of subsidiaries to give everyone the illusion of choice in the media while operating as a cartel to widely control perception.

My favorite analogy about the LameStreamMedia is that the former Soviet Union was a very poor country. They could only afford two state propaganda organs: Pravda and Izvestia. In Russian, Pravda means “Truth,” and Izvestia is loosely translated as “The News.” The running joke in the Soviet Union was: “There is no truth in Pravda, and there is no news in Izvestia.” We are/were a very wealthy country... We have six major propaganda organs. The organized crime oligarchy that controls the country and much of the planet has been using its complete control of virtually everything that the average person sees on a given day to weave an artificially-created reality with regard to politics/economics/history/current events when they are not distracting us with sports & mindless entertainment, corrupting our morals, predictively programming us, or other propaganda crimes.

The Art of Liberty Foundation’s White Rose MUCHO GRANDE Poster 19 on what Matt Taibi has termed the “Censorship Industrial Complex” - A network of around 50 Big Tech Search Engines, Social Media Sites, Video Sharing Platforms, Government Agencies, NGOs, Think Tanks, Academic Initiatives and “Fact Checkers” caught censoring information (frequently algorithmically) or denigrating truth tellers on the DARPA Internet. They have been caught admittedly censoring factual information if it would cause “vaccine hesitancy.” Much of the evidence exposing this network came out in the Twitter files and the House of Representatives hearings on the weaponization of “government.”

Was Control-of-Perception baked into the Internet by ARPA / DARPA from the beginning?

Key companies/technologies like Google and others received over-investment, other DARPA technologies (Keyhole/Google Earth), and advertising/media partnerships/support from Cartel companies. Multiple examples of ostensibly private companies censoring specific individuals across multiple platforms simultaneously and Google News steering news traffic to a small handful of Cartel companies.

The main identifiable vehicles for creating/managing/controlling the content of MainStreamMedia are the World Economic Forum, Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission and Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) control of the Media and the CIA’s control of key journalists that was made public during the Church Committee hearings in 1975. The Church Committee disclosed that the CIA had hundreds of journalists on the payroll. A quote from the commission:

Here are some articles and evidence from: The Liberator

How the CIA Made Google by Nafeez Ahmed - Details the specific CIA-DoD programs (The Highland Forum, CIA-backed venture capital firm In-Q-Tel, others) that provided early funding to Google.

Research Proves Google Manipulates Millions to Favor Clinton - distinguished research psychologist Robert Epstein explains his 2016 study and reviews evidence that Google's search suggestions were biased in favor of Hillary Clinton. He estimated that biased search suggestions might have shifted as many as 3 million votes during that election.

Audit suggests Google favors a small number of major outlet By Nicholas Diakopoulos - 2019 study showing that Google News promotes a small cartel of other “news” organizations. Just 20 news sources account for more than half of article impressions. The top 20 percent of sources (136 of 678) accounted for 86 percent of article impressions. And the top three accounted for 23 percent: CNN, The New York Times, and The Washington Post.

How Google Interferes With Its Search Algorithms and Changes Your Results - The Wall Street Journal – Nov 18th 2019 by Kirsten Grind, Sam Schechner, Robert McMillan and John West -

Some findings:

• Google made algorithmic changes to its search results that favor big businesses over smaller ones, and in at least one case made changes on behalf of a major advertiser, eBay Inc., contrary to its public position that it never takes that type of action. The company also boosts some major websites, such as Amazon.com Inc. and Facebook Inc., according to people familiar with the matter.

• Google engineers regularly make behind-the-scenes adjustments to other information the company is increasingly layering on top of its basic search results. These features include auto-complete suggestions, boxes called “knowledge panels” and “featured snippets,” and news results, which aren’t subject to the same company policies limiting what engineers can remove or change.

• Despite publicly denying doing so, Google keeps blacklists to remove certain sites or prevent others from surfacing in certain types of results. These moves are separate from those that block sites as required by U.S. or foreign law, such as those featuring child abuse or with copyright infringement, and from changes designed to demote spam sites, which attempt to game the system to appear higher in results.

• In auto-complete, the feature that predicts search terms as the user types a query, Google’s engineers have created algorithms and blacklists to weed out more-incendiary suggestions for controversial subjects, such as abortion or immigration, in effect filtering out inflammatory results on high-profile topics.
