I n modern times, information is everything. It is the sum total of our entire sensory experience within nature and the artificial world. It composes our DNA and allows life in its countless forms to exist. It is our knowledge base and means of communication, and through it we better ourselves—opening our minds to greater levels of consciousness. In essence, information in its countless forms, is the foundation of life.





The Anatomy of Propaganda – Examining Multiple Tactics of Psychological Manipulation in Media Today

This fundamental nature of information reveals the importance of accuracy within information and its exchange. Whether we are speaking to a friend, catching up on recent world developments, or buying a house, accuracy in communication is vital. This importance especially exists with regard to the media we frequent, as the mass media functions as the central hub and distributor of information from around the globe.





A functional, competent and independent media is an essential component of a free world. This ideal of an honest and impartial system of information distribution can ensure that a society remains healthy, balanced, and knowledgeable. But is this impartial and fair media the state of our present corporate media, as so many tend to assume? Let's find out.







The Illusion of Unanimity





James B. Glattfelder: Who Controls the World?











You may have noticed that Glattfelder clearly shies away from the topic of the deliberate attempt of global financial takeover by a number of corporate entities. This is fairly common among those who speak publicly about these issues. It seems that the only way that public forums such as TED X are allowed to discuss these matters is if they do not disclose too much information that would disrupt the power structure of the global economic models they analyze. (We will discuss why in a moment.) Though we cannot say for sure if this was Glattfelder's true intent, it was a noticeable aspect of the presentation. Also, it is understandable that the subject of global conspiracy is far too broad to cover in a fifteen-minute lecture.

Whatever the motivation for dismissing the possibility of deliberate financial takeover, the subject is very interesting. I find it particularly interesting that Glattfelder used the Freemasonic symbol of the Pyramid and Eye. This is a symbol that is most commonly known on the American dollar bill, and ironically, the dollar bill has been the center of one of the world's largest financial conspiracies in history.



As Americans, we have seen decade after decade of wars and conflicts in foreign nations. We have been told that there are a number of "dangerous foreign leaders" who are oppressing their people and need to be overthrown. We see news report after news report proposing the idea that invasion and overthrowing of this or that government is good for the people of that foreign nation.

Eventually we see the aftermath of the American "liberation" of the foreign people, and believe that American intervention is a good thing. In reality, we are only seeing a twisted version of the truth—a doctored and contorted fiction of the reality behind the idealization of foreign interventionism. The truth behind the facade is the economic hitman program destroying country after country, killing millions for the sake of exploitation and extortion, and then using American media to make the U.S. look like heroes. This is a horrible realization for us to come to; yet without this realization, no change can occur.





The subtle control of media by the corporate kleptocracy is foundational for the stability of the current (corrupt) financial system. This is not a financial system which provides equal opportunity, as the idealistic capitalist model suggests. The reality behind capitalism was that it merely served as a gateway of extortion by greedy and ruthless financial predators.

The current financial system only exists to serve those who sit on the very top of the financial pyramid. As those at the top sit in luxury and anonymity, the rest of us slave away creating the wealth upon which the elite benefit. This grossly unbalanced financial control can only continue if we the people remain unaware that we are being used and manipulated. Consequently, those who work under this system in any public light (such as TED X) are commonly pressured to avoid rocking the boat.

If anyone does speak out against rampant financial manipulation, they tend to lose their job and could even be black listed from future high-paying employers (or worse). So even when explaining these situations in scientific terms, there is timidness in the delivery and extra caution in avoiding disrupting the mental illusion of fairness which many still hold in an excessively unfair system of financial control.

The main ingredient which has kept the people pacified and ignorant of their imprisonment for the majority of our lives is the corporate media. As we have discussed, this is not a media of independent, various, and impartial companies as we have been taught to believe. This media is self-interested and runs for the sake of the corrupt corporate and banking world. For the most part, the corporate media bends virtually all information they communicate toward the interests of their own top shareholdersa select few exploitative elitists.To maintain this system of media control requires a skilled hand. In fact the task of controlling the established media has been shown to belong to both governmental and corporate powers. Many of us may already be aware of the ties between the various media companies such asto the. For those who may not know, RAND is an official organization designed to collect logistical data and to implement media formulas which are advantageous to both corporate and government interests.This has been the status quo for decades, and yet the people of the U.S. have been all but completely ignorant until recently. The recent Sony hack which took place by the hacker grouprevealed the strong connection between Sony and RAND. In fact it was this hack which revealed the fact that Sony's CEO, Michael Lynton, was a member of the board of executives at RAND. Read more about that revelation here (below).This revelation showed that not only was the infamousongoing, but that it had evolved into a manipulative strategy which was much more organized and effective while remaining all but completely unknown to the average American.So we see that in no way is American corporate media the completely fair, objective and honest group of institutions we have been convinced it was. Instead, this media has been shown to be a mere piece to the corporate puzzle of manipulation, extortion, and corruption. The companies we trust, outside of their popular names, large shiny signs, and professional makeup artists, have little to do with anything honest, objective, or independent. Instead, these corporate media sources appear to be little more than the mouthpieces of heartless greed.The status quo behind corporate media has always been to prop up government no matter how sinister and corrupt that government has been behind the scenes. It has been the role of the media to whitewash any and all detrimental actions by government, and to ensure that the people remain agreeable no matter how destructive the results of these actions might be. So then why is it that absolutely every action that the current president takes is portrayed as, and, while any positive action that he has taken has all but completely been ignored?This apparentthe corporate establishments have recently made seems completely opposite than virtually every message communicated by the media for past half century. It has been the media's past job to make the establishment look good no matter what the truth of the situation was. However, the modern goal of corporate news seems to be the character assassination of the current administration at all costs (though not to defend any of their irresponsible actions thus far).This poisoned well of the corporate media from which many of the people happily drink has created a bipolar social environment within the United States. This has been largely effective, as many people have not yet caught onto the fact that the corporate media is all but completely untrustworthy.We have seen the corporate media portrayed as a benevolent, independent and impartial entity which holds the interests of the audience as its highest priority. Yet from the evidence we have seen here, the standards of these media companies are far from ideal. The corporate media has proven to be so heavily compromised and bias that any large corporation or lender is thoroughly immune from being portrayed in a negative light.When the average corporation shares ownership with a corporate news agency, this can pose serious problems. In an ideal situation, a news company remains independent from every other business so that the stories it publishes can remain free from bias. However, when one investor or corporate entity owns both news and the other corporation in this example, the two entities work as a team. The news agency works as sales, advertising and public relations for the corporation.This means that any and all damaging information which would otherwise come to light for the corporation would be swept under the rug and hidden from the public eye. To a large degree, this is exactly why the LIBOR scandal took so long to come to the surface. Media is consolidated and so is the corporate world. The two behave as a singular entity.This unified tool of media manipulation is often used by corrupt government officials as well. We may keep this in mind as we observe just how bias the corporate media has been toward the Trump administration since he came into the presidential race. Without taking sides, let's examine.We may remember how numerous journalists were found to be on the personal payroll of Hillary Clinton just before the election process began. For all of those who understand the strong potential for media compromise in the U.S., this should have raised major red flags. This overt media bias showed many Americans just how thoroughly slanted corporate media can be.
