: ''' ''"There is no such thing, at this stage of the world’s history in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dare write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my papers, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalist is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."''

"In March, 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, shipbuilding, and powder interest, and their subsidiary organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press....They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers. "An agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers."

[[w:Telecommunications Act of 1996|Telecommunications Act of 1996]]:The Act was claimed to foster competition. Instead, it continued the historic industry consolidation reducing the number of major media companies from around 50 in 1983 to 10 in 1996 and 6 in 2005. An FCC study found that the Act had led to a drastic decline in the number of radio station owners, even as the actual number of commercial stations in the United States had increased.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_Act_of_1996#Claims_made_in_opposition_to_the_act]


Created at Oxford in 1921 by the [[w:Chatham House|Royal Institute for International affairs]], with later funding from the [[w:Rockefeller Foundation|Rockefeller Foundation]], '''the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations is the nerve center for the ''"[[911:False_media#Tavistock_Formula_for_Formation_of_Pathology|global manipulation of human consciousness]]"''.''' Not long after Tavistock was set up by co-founder [[w:John Rawlings Rees|John Rawlings Rees]] and others, it became the core of Britain’s [[w:Wellington House|Psychological Warfare Bureau]], studying the effects of [[w:Combat stress reaction|shell shock]] on British soldiers. Tavistock also played a crucial role in the creation of the [[w:Office of Strategic Services|OSS]] (the precursor to the CIA), under the guidance of [[w:Kurt Lewin|Dr. Kurt Lewin]], with help from Allen Dulles, the German Nazis and the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The merger of media companies in the last decades generated a small oligarchy of media conglomerates. The TV shows we follow, the music we listen to, the movies we watch and the newspapers we read are all produced by FIVE corporations. The owners of those conglomerates have close ties with the world’s elite and, in many ways, they ARE the elite. By owning all of the possible outlets having the potential to reach the masses, these conglomerates have the power to create in the minds of the people a single and cohesive world view, engendering a “standardization of human thought”.

::"Rule 2 - By excessive rates and taxes, destroy all small business. Merge all big business until about 6 companies control the commerce of each country. This is called 'centralisation of control'. ''Thus merge, merge, merge, is the name of the game''."''' '''[[911:The_Matrix#Society|The Matrix (Society)]]'''


Aside from helping to create the CIA, Tavistock was also the major force behind the formation of NATO and is deeply connected to the Club of Rome. '''[[911:Knights_of_Malta#Club_of_Rome|The Club of Rome]] works with Tavistock to create propaganda and crisis in order to manipulate the world’s population in a pre-determined direction, toward a collectivist, one world socialistic dictatorship ([[w:Psy Ops|Psy Ops]]: staged events to manipulate puplic opinion)'''. Other other offshoot groups are known as ''conduits of instructions'' from within the Tavistock network are [[w:Mont Pelerin Society|Mont Pelerin Society]], [[911:Trilateral_Commission|Trilateral Commission]] and the [[w:Ditchley Foundation|Ditchley Foundation]]. [http://hardtruth.navhost.com/tavistock.html]


Today, Tavistock operates through a vast network of think tanks, NGOs, universities and media outlets to influence public opinion, while breaking down the moral fabric that has held the West together using scientifically-crafted techniques of [[911:Media_mind_control#Propaganda|manipulation]]. Tavistock has played an important role in the creation of several institutional centers, including, Stanford Research Institute, The [[w:Wharton_School|Wharton School]] at the University of PA & The [[w:Sloan School|Sloan School]] at MIT. Other groups that work closely with Tavistock include:
* [[w:The Heritage Foundation|Heritage Foundation]]
* [[w:RAND Corporation|RAND Corporation]]
* [[w:Hudson Institute|Hudson Institute]]
* [[w:Esalen Institute|Esalen Institute]]

* Center of Strategic and International Studies at Georgetown [http://www.barefootsworld.net/tavistok.html]


An important role Tavistock has played in the corporate world, via the [[w:National Training Laboratories|National Training laboratories]], is the sponsoring of group “sensitivity” and “diversity” programs designed to erase a person’s individuality so that they become a “team player”. The fact is that ‘political correctness’ is all about creating uniformity. '''Individuality is one of the biggest obstacles in the way of the New World Order. They want a public that is predictable and conditioned to do as it’s told without asking questions.. All Tavistock and American foundation techniques have a single goal---to break down the psychological strength of the individual and render him helpless to oppose the dictators of the [[w:New World Order|New World Order]]. [http://hardtruth.navhost.com/tavistock.html]. The program was designed to break down the individual's sense of personal knowledge in his identity, his racial heritage. '''

Tavistock's grandmother is the socioeconomic stranglehold and drug empire of the [[911:Companies#Banking|British East India Company]] and Theosophical esoterics. Its grandfather is "[[w:The Open Conspiracy|The Open Conspiracy]]" of Utopian [[w:H.G. Wells|H.G. Wells]], [[w:Bertrand Russell|Bertrand Russell]], [[911:Prominent_masons#Cecil_Rhodes|Cecil Rhodes]] and Fabian socialists. The [[w:Society for Psychical Research|Society for Psychical Research]] (SPR) helped create the [[w:Fabian Society|Fabian Society]]. Tavistock is the paranoid child of the paternal [[911:False_media#Leipzig_school|Leipzig]] and [[911:False_media#Frankfurt_School|Frankfort schools]] of 'critical thinking' and 'behaviorism.' The [[w:psychodynamics|psychodynamics]] of Freud and Jung are its godparents, kindling the psychospiritual [[w:Superego#Super-ego|superego]], archetypal and transpersonal aspects of depth psychology. The history of Tavistock is linked with drugs and psychopharmaceutical experimentation and abuse from the beginning. Cooke's 2009 article implies it ran on daily benzedrine. MK Ultra was perhaps the apex of this drug exploration to crack the mindbrain. Yet, the pharmacopiea of mindbending designer drugs for 'new' mental disorders grows daily, including stimulants for normal social adjustment. [http://tavistockagenda.iwarp.com/]

===[[w:Frankfurt School|Frankfurt School]]===
 
The Frankfurt School was dedicated to the destruction of the West. One of its founders, [[w:Willi Munzenberg|Willi Munzenberg]], stated explicitly that its goal was to:
:::...organise the intellectuals and use them to make Western civilisation stink [sic]. Only then, after they have corrupted all its values and made life impossible, can we impose the dictatorship of the proletariat. [http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/05/hate_crime_legislation_back_do.html]
 
* '''The task of the [[w:Frankfurt School|Frankfurt School]], then, was first, to undermine the Judeo-Christian legacy through an "abolition of culture"''' (Aufhebung der Kultur in Lukacs' German); '''and, second, to determine new cultural forms which would increase the alienation of the population, thus creating a "new barbarism."''' To this task, there gathered in and around the Frankfurt School an incredible assortment of not only Communists ([[w:György Lukács|György Lukács]]), but also non-party socialists ([[w:Herbert Marcuse|Herbert Marcuse]]), radical phenomenologists ([[w:Martin Heidegger|Martin Heidegger]]), Zionists, renegade Freudians, and at least a few members of a self-identified "cult of Astarte." The variegated membership reflected, to a certain extent, the sponsorship: although the Institute for Social Research started with [[w:Comintern|Comintern]] support, over the next three decades its sources of funds included various German and American universities, the [[w:Rockefeller Foundation|Rockefeller Foundation]], [[w:Columbia Broadcasting System|Columbia Broadcasting System]], the [[w:American Jewish Committee|American Jewish Committee]], several American intelligence services, the Office of the U.S. High Commissioner for Germany, the International Labour Organization, and the Hacker Institute, a posh psychiatric clinic in Beverly Hills. ( The Problem of Genesis ) [http://www.schillerinstitute.org/fid_91-96/921_frankfurt.html]
* In the early 1950s, [[w:Theodor Adorno|Theodor Adorno]], the Frankfurt School social engineer, wrote enthusiastically that American's ability to think would be destroyed once the majority of them had been induced to spend all of their leisure time in front of the one-eyed baby-sitter, a.k.a. "the TV". (Adorno had worked on the Rockefeller Foundation-funded the [[w:Radio Project|Radio Research Project]] at Princeton University, and spent years in Hollywood, developing a hands-on sense of the mass-brainwashing potential of the mass media.) Nearly a half-century later, America is addicted to television; current history is reduced to sound-bites of carefully screened and "spun" national and international news "factoids" (as they are called in the mindless reporting of CNN), buried by a barrage of graphic scenes of real-life violence and perversity, which take up well over half of the nightly diet of "the day's news". (Mass Media, Mass Brainwashing) [http://american_almanac.tripod.com/cartel.htm]
 
* The [[w:Radio Project|Radio Research Project]]: The director of the Project was [[w:Paul Lazarsfeld|Paul Lazersfeld]], the foster son of Austrian Marxist economist [[w:Rudolph Hilferding|Rudolph Hilferding]], and a long-time collaborator of the I.S.R. from the early 1930's. Under Lazersfeld was [[w:Frank Stanton|Frank Stanton]], a recent Ph.D. in industrial psychology from Ohio State, who had just been made research director of Columbia Broadcasting System—a grand title but a lowly position. After World War II, Stanton became president of the CBS News Division, and ultimately president of CBS at the height of the TV network's power; he also became Chairman of the Board of the [[w:RAND Corporation|RAND Corporation]], and a member of President Lyndon Johnson's "[[w:kitchen cabinet|kitchen cabinet]]." Among the Project's researchers were [[w:Herta Herzog|Herta Herzog]], who married Lazersfeld and became the first director of research for the Voice of America; and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&redirs=0&search=%22Hazel+Gaudet%22&fulltext=Search&ns0=1 Hazel Gaudet], who became one of the nation's leading political pollsters. [[w:Theodor Adorno|Theodor Adorno]] was named chief of the Project's music section. ''Despite the official gloss, the activities of the Radio Project make it clear that its purpose was to test empirically the Adorno-Benjamin thesis that the net effect of the mass media could be to atomize and increase [[w:lability|lability]]—what people would later call "brainwashing."''

Moreover, Stanford University was a central component of many years in State and Military funded ‘mind control’ and psychic research, as well as a wide ‘invisible college’ network, that extended from the likes of [[w:Andrija Puharich|Andrija Puharich]] (and his famous psychic protégées and CIA friends) at its inner core, to their counter cultural fellow travellers, like the maverick artist [[w:Harry Smith|Harry Smith]], a leading member of the OTO at the time, and cult writer [[w:Robert Anton Wilson|Robert Anton Wilson]], on its outer fringes.

::"The television commercial is the most expensive and highly skilled artifact in American society, using the most polished producers, actors, and technical reproduction and spending more for the creation and transmission of a series of thirty-second commercials than some school districts spend to educate children for a year. The artful construction of commercials has created thirty seconds as a basic attention unit, ideal for selling marginal goods but with negative psychological and intellectual consequences for the average American child, who, the statistics show,' watches television for twice as many hours as he or she attends school."

In Emery's 1975 work, ''Futures We Are In'', they reported that the content of programming was no longer as important as the sheer amount of television viewing. Average daily viewing time had risen steadily over the two decades since the introduction of the medium, such that by the mid-1970s, it ranked as a daily activity only behind sleep and work, at almost six hours a day (since then, it has risen still further, to more than seven hours, with the addition of video games, home videos, and so on); among school-age children, the time spent viewing television ranked just behind school attendance. These findings, Tavistock indicated, strongly suggested that television was like an addictive drug. Similarly, '''Emery reported on neurological studies which, he claimed, showed that repeated television viewing "shuts down the central nervous system of man."'''

"There is no such thing, at this stage of the world’s history in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dare write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my papers, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalist is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes." ~ John Swinton, former Chief of Staff, The New York Times, 1953

Intro

History

Concentration of media ownership

"In March, 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, shipbuilding, and powder interest, and their subsidiary organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press....They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers. "An agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers." U.S. Congressman Oscar Callaway, 1917 [9]

Telecommunications Act of 1996:The Act was claimed to foster competition. Instead, it continued the historic industry consolidation reducing the number of major media companies from around 50 in 1983 to 10 in 1996 and 6 in 2005. An FCC study found that the Act had led to a drastic decline in the number of radio station owners, even as the actual number of commercial stations in the United States had increased.[10]

The merger of media companies in the last decades generated a small oligarchy of media conglomerates. The TV shows we follow, the music we listen to, the movies we watch and the newspapers we read are all produced by FIVE corporations. The owners of those conglomerates have close ties with the world’s elite and, in many ways, they ARE the elite. By owning all of the possible outlets having the potential to reach the masses, these conglomerates have the power to create in the minds of the people a single and cohesive world view, engendering a “standardization of human thought”. [11]

Mass media

Marketing

  • Todo: product design, product marketing, consensus-style culture promotion, alternative/niche culture co-opting.
  • Instruments:
    • Promotion by association: fun, sex, celebrities, cool-factor (sports/danger/masculine), health, safety, empathy (charity events), ...
    • Promotion by dis-association ("better alternative than the market competitors")
    • Social group research: profiling, product testing, ...
    • Owning multiple brands (with a different marketing strategy) in the same product category.

Advertising

Misleading advertising
Mariani Wine (1875) was the most famous coca wine of it's time. Pope Leo XIII always carried a bottle with him all the time. He awarded Angelo Mariani, the producer, with a Vatican gold medal. Maltine Coca Wine was produced by the Maltine Manufacturing Company of New York. It was suggested that you should take a full glass with or after every meal. Children should take half a glass. Metcalf's Coca Wine was another popular cocaine-laced wine. [2]

Misleading advertising/brand name [6]
“Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need.” - Fight Club (film)

Subliminal advertising has gone mainstream - fake news, mind control scripts, propaganda and stealth voicemail are in wide use by corporations, government bodies, and industry groups. Some pharmaceutical firms have gone so far as to invent and promote a new syndrome in order to create a market for a new drug! Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) was devised in 1998 and publicised by planting fifty press stories and quizzes such as: “Do you have social anxiety disorder?”. Soon after, Smithkline Beecham released Paxil - the 'cure' for SAD. Scientifically tested visual displays, Muzak tapes (see: Binaural beats) , and even mind altering scents combine to maximize impulse spending. Specially designed music loops can keep shoppers in the supermarket for 18% longer. Corporations are going to enormous lengths to probe the minds of consumers - literally tapping into their brains. Specific biological triggers can be used by language engineers to stimulate purchases. This is the hi-tech fulfilment of pioneer psychologists Freud and Jung who established the connection between language and behaviour. Datamining is a fuzzy science that filters you personal information for links about your personal behaviour and finances. These details are used in turn to create elaborate marketing campaigns to sell you more stuff. The most successful public relations campaigns aim to change public perception without our awareness of the campaign. They are typically launched by governments, institutions and countries who need to change their public image, restore their reputation or manipulate public opinion. There are PR firms today who advise dictatorships, dishonest politicians and corrupt industries to cover up environmental catastrophes and human rights violations. [12]

In a simpler time, advertising merely called attention to the product and extolled its advantages. Now it manufactures a product of its own: the consumer, perpetually unsatisfied, restless, anxious, and bored. Its 'educates' the masses into an unappeasable appetite not only for goods but for new experiences and personal fulfillment. It upholds consumption as the answer to the age-old discontents of loneliness, sickness, weariness, lack of sexual satisfaction; at the same time it creates new forms of discontent peculiar to the modern age. It plays seductively to the malaise of industrial civilization. Is your job boring and meaningless? Is your life empty? Consumption promises to fill the aching void..." [13]

"The television commercial is the most expensive and highly skilled artifact in American society, using the most polished producers, actors, and technical reproduction and spending more for the creation and transmission of a series of thirty-second commercials than some school districts spend to educate children for a year. The artful construction of commercials has created thirty seconds as a basic attention unit, ideal for selling marginal goods but with negative psychological and intellectual consequences for the average American child, who, the statistics show,' watches television for twice as many hours as he or she attends school." [14]

Television

See also Awareness control ( Sedation )

Television was beginning to make its entrance as the next mass media technology at the time the Radio Research Project's findings were published in 1939. First experimented with on a large scale in Nazi Germany during the 1936 Berlin Olympics, TV made its splashy public appearance at the 1939 New York World's Fair, where it attracted large crowds. Adorno and others immediately recognized its potential as a mass-brainwashing tool. In 1944, he wrote,

"Television aims at the synthesis of radio and film ... but its consequences are enormous and promise to intensify the impoverishment of aesthetic matter, so drastically that by tomorrow, the thinly veiled identity of all industrial culture products can come triumphantly out in the open, derisively fulfilling the Wagnerian dream of Gesamtkunstwerk--the fusion of all arts in one work."

As was obvious from even the earliest clinical studies of television (some of which were conducted in the late 1940s and early 1950s by Tavistock operatives), viewers, over a relatively short period of time, entered into a trance-like state of semi-awareness, characterized by a fixed stare. The longer one watched, the more pronounced the stare. In such a condition of twilight-like semi-awareness, they were susceptible to messages both contained in the programs themselves, and through transference, in the advertising. They were being brainwashed. The earliest programming fell back on the tested models of radio, as described in the Radio Research Project: the situation comedy, or "sitcom," the game shows, the variety shows, sports, and the "soaps." Many were in serial form, with interlocking characters, if not stories. All were banal, deliberately designed so.

In the mid-1970s, Eric Trist, who, until his death in 1993, headed Tavistock's operations in the United States, and Tavistock's main media "expert," Fred Emery, reported on their findings of the impact of 20 years of television on American society. In Emery's 1975 work, Futures We Are In, they reported that the content of programming was no longer as important as the sheer amount of television viewing. Average daily viewing time had risen steadily over the two decades since the introduction of the medium, such that by the mid-1970s, it ranked as a daily activity only behind sleep and work, at almost six hours a day (since then, it has risen still further, to more than seven hours, with the addition of video games, home videos, and so on); among school-age children, the time spent viewing television ranked just behind school attendance. These findings, Tavistock indicated, strongly suggested that television was like an addictive drug. Similarly, Emery reported on neurological studies which, he claimed, showed that repeated television viewing "shuts down the central nervous system of man."

Whether this claim holds up under scientific scrutiny, Emery and Trist present persuasive argument that general, extensive television viewing lowers the capacity for conceptual thinking about what is being presented on the screen. The studies show that the mere presence of images on television, especially within appropriate news or documentary format, but also within general viewing, tends to "validate" those images, and imbue them with a sense of "reality."

"The Surgeon General's studies have shown that television violence increases actual violence and acceptance of violence in children. Other studies have shown that children who watch a great deal of television are more cynical than are children who watch less television." [16]

Trist and Emery find nothing wrong with such developments, which indicate that television is producing a brain-dead generation. Rather, they show how this development fits into a larger global plan for social control, implemented by Tavistock and its allied networks on behalf of its sponsors. Society, they state in A Choice of Futures, a book published in the same time period, has been plunging through progressively lowered states of mental awareness, to a point where even the Orwellian fascist state is not attainable. At this point, thanks to television and other mass media, mankind is in a state of dissociation, whose political outcome will be manifested in a "Clockwork Orange" society, named for the book by the late Anthony Burgess, in which roving youth gangs habitually commit acts of random violence, and then return home to watch the news about what they have done on the "tube."

Music

Occult etymology: Muse
Magical properties of music: 'The whole Pythagoric school went through a course of musical training, both in harmony and touch, whereby, by means of appropriate chants, they beneficially converted the dispositions of the soul to contrary emotions.

Cast Out as Lucifer, personified by the king of Tyre and Babylon, he came equipped with musical instruments to deceive the faithful [17]

Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Eze.28:13
And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot . Isa 23:15
Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered. Is.23:16
  • Should Music be used in churches to worship the real God YHWH?
    • Serpent Worship and the musical connection parable begins in Genesis 3. Adam Clark's commentary compared to ancient serpent worship. Adam Clark addressed instrumental music in most of the key musical passages and totally repudiated it as spiritual worship which is within the innermost being and not in outward rituals. (Adam Clark - The Serpent - Genesis 3)
    • "In pagan traditions, musical instruments are invented by gods or demi-gods, such as titans. In the Bible, credit is assigned to antediluvian patriarchs, for example, the descendants of Cain in Genesis 4:21. There is no other biblical tradition about the invention of musical instruments." (Freedman, David Noel, Bible Review, Summer 1985, p. 51). [18]

Since the launching of the Beatles as an international project via TV in 1963, "rock" has been the most influential recruiter to Satanism. Rock was created, and is still coordinated by Crowley’s followers and by the OTO network, in cooperation with WICCA. It is, not so incidentally, also the Satanist’s biggest money-maker, and believed to provide the chief logistical support for deployments and other activities of the OTO-WICCA efforts world-wide.

There is nothing spontaneous or accidental about "rock." It is a product of classical studies of the ancient Phrygian terrorist cult of Satan-Dionysos, the model for the Roman Bacchic cults of similar characteristics. Crowley’s control of the "rock industry" has been documented by a team of [private] investigators, who have also noted, that in addition to the Satanist lyrics, Satanist messages embedded sublimely in rock recordings are a key feature of this subversive operation.

The "rock rhythm" itself is copied from the old Dionysian-Bacchic cults. Even without the drugs and sexual orgies which are characteristic features of hard-core rock affairs, repeated, frequent, hours-long exposure to constant repetition of "rock rhythms" produces lasting, drug-like effects on the mind of the victim. Reducing sexual practices to the level of bestiality, is a crucial feature of Satanism in all historical periods studied, from Phrygian Cybele-Dionysos cult-period onward. [19]

NBC

  • National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC), which has been affiliated to the Radio Corporation of America, is now a subsidiary of Morgan-controlled General Electric. It has had, since its founding by Anglophile David Sarnoff, a relationship to British intelligence. During World War II, by arrangement with Sarnoff, British Security Coordinator Sir William Stephenson worked out of RCA's building in Rockefeller Center. [23]

The Thomson Corporation

  • The Canada-based Thomson Corporation was one of the earliest players in the U.S. market, with a solid base in the Midwest. At this point, Thomson, which controls such important British media properties as the London Sunday Times and Times Literary Supplement, and whose founder, Ray Thomson, was raised to a peerage in 1964, as Lord Thomson of Fleet Street, owns 105 daily and 26 weekly newspapers throughout the United States. Mostly in medium-sized and smaller markets, these papers have a circulation of more than 2.1 million. Thomson is also one of the key purveyors of financial information, through various publications and data sources, and controls the largest legal research publisher in the United States... In 1995, Thomson sold 23 of its smaller U.S. holdings to the London-based Hollinger Corporation, headed by Conrad Black. Since 1992, Hollinger, which got its start as a privatized asset of British intelligence in North America, known as the Argus Corporation, has been on a U.S. media buying spree, doubling its holdings. It now owns 80 daily newspapers and over 300 weeklies, in both large cities and smaller markets, including the Chicago Sun-Times and the British intelligence scandal-mongering weekly, the American Spectator. Black, who owns the London Daily Telegraph, has been financed in his takeover operations by the Rothschild banking interests, and reportedly has received funding from Li Kai-shing, a former board member of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, identified in EIR's book Dope, Inc. as a long-standing controller and money-launderer of Asian drug-trafficking proceeds.

News Corporation

  • Perhaps the best known, and certainly the most flamboyant of the direct British players in the U.S. market is the Australian Rupert Murdoch. His multibillion-dollar News Corporation Ltd., based in London and New York, owns several score newspapers in the United States, including the New York Post, and 11 large circulation magazines, including TV Guide; his publications have a circulation of several score millions worldwide, and several millions in the United States. Murdoch, the son of an Australian press magnate, apprenticed under Lord Beaverbrook, the most important British press figure of the twentieth century. Murdoch began buying up press two decades ago, and affixed himself to the dirty side of British operations in the United States, becoming close to the notorious homosexual political fixer Roy Cohn and his New York machine. In the 1980s, Murdoch, using highly leveraged funds, purchased the 20th Century Fox movie studios, which he used to spawn the fourth national television network, Fox-TV, which has outlets in all major media markets.

Hollinger International

  • The Hollinger Corporation (now Sun-Times Media Group), a direct outgrowth of World War II British Secret Intelligence Service operations, housed in Canada and the United States, owns more than 100 daily and weekly newspapers in the United States, concentrated in the Midwest. The Hollinger Corp. has been the driving force behind the campaign to destroy the institution of the U.S. Presidency, through what has come to be known as "Clintongate". Hollinger has been acting as a branch of British intelligence in this effort, employing the most advanced methods of psychological warfare, and deploying its own resources as well as those of allied media organizations, private tax-exempt foundations, and "wanna-be" Tory factions of the U.S. Republican Party, to sink the Presidency.

"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the light of publicity during those years. But now the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supra-national sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries." David Rockefeller [30]

Associated Press

  • Founded in 1846, 3,700 employees
  • Associated Press, which provides news to more than 6,500 media outlets and has operated for more than 50 years, was part of a cartel, with the British Reuters news agency, that divided up news reporting and transmissions. After that cartel broke up in 1934, AP maintained a collaborative relationship with British intelligence. When it needed funds in the 1980s to expand and modernize, it received a large cash transfusion and credit line from its long-standing bankers, the Morgan interests. [31]
