The Undervaluation of Unconditional Givers

Taking at face value. Taking for granted. Both idiomatic expressions pretty well capture the human paradox that sustains the alternative current of cognitive dissonance. 

We want it all, but when we get it for free, we don't want it because free means cheap and has no value.

Whether it's manufactured goods, services, information, entertainment, support, or even time and attention, if it's free and offered without any strings attached, we just shamelessly take it as a given without even saying thanks. Unconsciously, we are led to assume that if something is free, it's because it is unmarketable and therefore of lesser value. It's only a small step from there to suspiciously questioning the motives behind such generosity, and many people readily take that step. And rightly so, since nothing comes for free in this world. 

Worse still: not only do some feel entitled to get it all for free, but they also have the nerve to complain, whereas they would be less demanding if they were paying for a low-quality service. Their foolproof argument is: “Nobody is forcing you to do this for free” or “We didn’t ask for it”. 

Virtue signalers at their finest. As French screenwriter Michel Audiard would put it... you know the line. And if you don't, it'll cost you 100 quid for a valuable answer!

Ultimately, free stuff is a bit unsettling for it acts as a mirror. It reflects the ease of the taker and the effort of the giver.

In this saturation of everything — for there's also an overabundance of deprivation, poverty, violence, abuse and ‘Evil’, due to the interplay of polarities this matrix world relies on — and in this culture of minimal effort, we have lost the ability to tell the difference between a conscious approach and automatic regurgitation. This is the basis of the art of noise: making authenticity inaudible.

This world reverses everything: it values the superficial, discards authenticity, and questions the motives behind kindness.

Iso V. Sinclair

What is rare is more expensive, and therefore more valuable. But what if something is both rare AND free? It's mind-boggling because we've been conditioned to believe that everything has a cost and that every gift means we owe something in return.

A good friend of mine (you know who you are) recently confided he felt hesitant to share a video I had just released, wanting to make his online presence rare to keep his audience engaged. And he's right: constant posting kills engagement. Too much presence means less impact.

Perhaps we should ask ourselves whether attention itself has become the new currency. And consequently, the end value is more about the audience than the service or information provided... for free.

This extends to availability at large. There are those who are never available, yet take offence when they are no longer invited. And there are the loyal companions whose presence is as self-evident as if set in stone... until the day they are no longer there. And that's when everything falls apart. They're being blamed for having changed. They probably have. Or perhaps they weren't really looked at properly.

Just because you're available doesn't mean you're less important.

Ultimately, it's not so much the gratuitousness that bothers us... but the fact that some people give without asking for anything in return other than being heard and listened to. Truly. As a token of awareness. Not as something owed, but as a chance.

In English, ‘free’ has another meaning besides gratuity. It also stands for freedom. However, that which is free does not fit into any system; it eludes the logic of bartering, debt, accountability... and therefore control.

Unconditional giving does not produce loosh — a form of energy generated by our emotions and harvested by the matrix. It serves no agenda. It is liberating.

Ultimately, this may be the reason why it is met with such distrust.

David Icke Exposes the Psyop

In this matrix of delusion, operating mainly through manipulation, diversion, division and confusion, many people equate opinions and beliefs with truth, thereby confusing it with reality, which is immutable, whereas truth is a matter of polarisation, the other side of which is lies, making it purely subjective and, by definition, dependent on our perceptions. 

For 35 years now, David Icke has been warning us against these pitfalls, inviting us to shed our blinkers and biases. Most of his avant-garde ‘theories’, described as 'far-out', may have been proven to be true, still people keep calling him crazy, criticising him for not offering any solutions. To those, he replies:

Read the books, mate - nearly 30 of them to choose from and you'll see solutions. The bad news is that it means YOU doing something rather than someone else doing it for you. It makes me laugh - or cringe - that so many can't see that exposing the way the Trump-Musk Psyop is scamming you and leading you to the same AI control as Klaus Schwab is actually a 'solution'.

They should carry on following their saviours and when they finally see how shafted they have been - some can already - at least I won't have to share their embarrassment. You do realise that people revealing the truth were once called 'conspiracy theorists' (coined by the CIA)?

Now the former 'conspiracy theorists', morphed into Trump-Musk propagandists, label those that are still revealing the truth as being 'black pilled'. Oh, the bloody irony. The Trump-Musk propaganda is an endless flow on X minute by minute supported by algorithms that guarantee millions of views, but I push back as best I can amid blatant shadow banning and I am the problem? I would find a mirror and reassess if I were you.

In the above video, which is an abridged version of a recent one-and-a-half-hour interview conducted by Josh Sigurdson of World Alternative Media (which I also translated and dubbed into French), he talks about what he describes as ‘no-go areas’ for research being potentially dangerous to the survival of any political ideology or religious belief. 

“And so I'm coming at this, and I have been all along, without any of that baggage. What that means is you will go where the information and the evidence take you. You don't have no-go areas.”

He also talks about the conspiracy to control human perception (“And where does perception come from? From information.”); the hijacking of alternative media to replace the mainstream; the useful idiots appearing out of nowhere who are being promoted by algorithms; the return to left-right political polarisation; the MAGA psyop (which, by the way, means ‘magic’ in Latin, hence Musk's “I am dark gothic MAGA” at Trump's pre-electoral rally at New York's Madison Square Garden, back in 2024, to be taken literally as “I am a dark gothic magician”) to neutralise resistance to the transhumanist agenda advocated by Schwab and the World Economic Forum. Don't forget how crucial and essential consent is.

To Musk who, by the way, declared two weeks ago on Joe Rogan's show (an alternative media veteran who's now singing a different tune), “If I fully destroy the corruption, they will kill me”, he replies: 

But you won't because that's not the idea. You are simply changing the nature of the corruption to usher in the AI controlled global society. Yes, the 'they will kill me' 'anti-establishment man' who gets massive government contracts from government, the Pentagon and NASA including a Starlink spy satellite system for government and the military called Starshield.

“Reuters revealed in 2024 that this contract ... between the National Reconnaissance Office and SpaceX [is for] a spy satellite network consisting of hundreds of satellites functioning as a swarm. The satellites will have imaging capabilities, and the satellite network will enable the US government to have continuous surveillance of nearly anywhere around the globe.” That guy.

He also mentions the technocratic oligarchs who are all gathering around Trump. And, of course, China and its social credit system, which is in the process of being westernised after having been tested and perfected at length since the Mao revolution. And last but not least, his ban from the Schengen area countries being renewed for another two years, which both mainstream and alternative media make no mention of whatsoever. 

And, as always, the useful idiots, great sermonisers who've never read any of his books but still share preconceived proxy opinions, unashamedly accusing him of controlled opposition. Some even go so far as to say that ‘if he were really dangerous, they would kill him’. And so based on this assumption, if I were the agents of the Matrix, I certainly wouldn't try to eliminate David Icke for that very reason. 

As Rabelais would say, “I'm not afraid of wolves, but of sheep".

The Agenda Man

Trump is elected! Can't wait to see if all the promises are kept. In the meantime, we can be sure of the development of AI, robots, networks of satellites around the earth, electric cars... all the technologies that Elon Musk is so much in favour of. Keep a cool head, folks.

Christine Cotton, biostatistician in pharmaceutical industry

Wherever you look the MAM God hero Elon Musk is serving endless central strands of the Cult agenda for human control. Musk further supports a universal basic income to control the population through dependency once manipulated economic collapse and AI have deleted jobs for humans. He supported the fake ‘Covid’ vaccines (just like MAM hero, Trump) and said: “To be clear, I do support vaccines in general and Covid vaccines specifically. The science is unequivocal.” 

The ‘science’ is calculated garbage. Trump claims credit for the fake vaccine under Operation Warp Speed (really run by the military not the dumbo front man Trump) which has killed and maimed incredible numbers of Americans. The swamp-drainer continued to claim credit for the jabs and promote them for cancer into 2024. Who are the two biggest MAM heroes? Musk and Trump. 

Musk is friends with the Silicon Valley Mafiosi, including Google’s Sergei Brin and Larry Page, and media notables like James Murdoch who is on the Tesla board. His father Rupert Murdoch fired Tucker Carlson from Fox. Was there more to know about that given how much credibility it gave to Carlson with the alternative audience? Carlson would not even have to know any of this, but it was obvious what he would do after leaving Fox and how his alternative star would soar.

Ari Emanuel, one of Hollywood’s most powerful agents, is another friend of Musk. He was the agent of Donald Trump and remains a close friend. Emanuel’s father Benjamin was an operative with the Jewish terrorist group, Irgun, which bombed Israel into existence in 1948. He apparently specialised in bus bombing. I explained in The Trigger how many ultra-Zionists were relocated to the United States after Israel was established and Benjamin Emanuel was one of them. They wanted their children to be born as Americans. Emanuel duly obliged by spawning Ari Emanuel; Rahm Emanuel, Barack Obama’s White House Chief of Staff (handler), mayor of Chicago and US Ambassador to Japan; and Ezekiel Emanuel who became Chief of the Department of Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center. He was a member of Joe Biden’s COVID-19 Advisory Board. That’s quite a range of influence for one family of first generational immigrants from Israel. Rahm Emanuel gofer Barack Obama has a background starting with his mother that is awash with CIA involvement and that means the influence of Israeli Mossad. Those with eyes to see will ask why the MAM are in awe of Musk and not calling him out in the light of all this. The answer is Twitter which Musk renamed ‘X’.

The X spell

The Cult, through its Deep State operatives, had almost complete domination by 2022 of what was posted on major social media and video platforms of the mainstream Internet where most people sought their information. The Cult had created Google which went on to own YouTube, and the same with Facebook. To this was added Twitter and the list went on. I was banned from all of them in the spring of 2020 after revealing the ‘Covid’ hoax and the plan to use it for mass vaccination. These platforms were banning posts and posters who challenged almost any aspect of the Cult agenda. The bans applied to ‘Covid’, ‘human-caused climate change’, and the spectrum of Woke that included transgenderism and perceived racism against anyone except white people. Alternative views, even mild ones, were blocked. Russell Brand for whatever reason was allowed to continue on YouTube as was Joe Rogan with his Spotify contract worth $200 million, now $250 million. Most of the rest were either deleted or had to roll back what they said. 

What followed was therefore a real strange move by Cult-controlled Twitter if you were not aware of what the real game is. The Cult Deep State had exactly what it wanted with total control of what was posted and yet they suddenly sold it to Elon Musk who was proclaiming himself to be a free-speech absolutist. What? We are talking shareholders of Twitter at the time according to the list I saw that included mega Cult-connected global trillion dollar investment groups BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street. Morgan Stanley was another. They were not going to sell to Musk unless the Cult wanted Twitter sold to Musk. End of story. Musk made a commitment to buy Twitter and they even threatened to take him to court to hold him to that deal when it seemed he may be seeking a way out.

‘He’ paid $44 billion, changed the name to X, a letter he is obsessed with, and appointed top NBCUniversal executive, Linda Yaccarino, as Twitter CEO. This was a bizarre pick for ‘freedom-loving’ Musk when Yaccarino was an Executive Chair of Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum and headed the WEF’s Taskforce on Future of Work. She began to describe Twitter/X policy as “freedom of speech, not freedom of reach” which meant you could post information, but if it was considered the wrong information the ability of people to view it would be suppressed. This is known as ‘shadowbanning’ and they do it to me constantly. Yaccarino says that “if it is lawful, but it is awful, it will be extraordinarily difficult for you to see it”. None of this seemed to matter to the MAM. 

Post-Musk Twitter/X was allowing previously banned people to return and that was proof enough that Musk was ‘one of us’. He would tweet and state opinions increasingly supportive of MAM themes which further enhanced his ‘one-of-us’ reputation. He told Rogan that George Soros “fundamentally hates humanity” and that he advances agendas that “erode the fabric of civilization”. It was straight from the ‘get them to trust me’ script. Follow Musk’s tweeting record and he repeats MAM talking points without ever adding anything new. He lets Yaccarino play the role of enforcer to allow him to maintain his ‘free-speech’ façade as the wrong opinions go on being shadowbanned, even deleted.

The longer this has continued the more Musk’s glaring contradictions have been ignored by the MAMs and the more vehement has become the abuse when I’ve pointed them out. How can Musk become (officially) one of the world’s richest men if he is really challenging the Cult that could destroy him financially in a day? The ridiculously inflated share price of Tesla alone, on which his (official) wealth status depends, would be an easy Cult target given the Cult-owned shareholder base of the company. Electric vehicle sales are falling anyway as I write this. There is the stupendous government financial support for his businesses that could be withdrawn if he was such a danger. Why would world leaders including Sunak, Macron, Modi, and Netanyahu flaunt their public meetings with him if his Twitter/X platform was such a threat to the prevailing order that they represent? Why can he be considered by the MAM to oppose the Cult agenda when he is fronting up SpaceX, Neuralink, Tesla, x.AI, which are all supporting that same agenda?

Why sell it to him, then?

Then there was the biggest question of all: Why would the Cult/Deep State that controlled what was posted on Twitter sell it to Musk if he was genuinely what he claimed to be? Musk even began to release what were termed the ‘Twitter Files’ through MAM members like Matt Taibbi and Rogan’s mate Michael Shellenberger to reveal emails and documents proving what control the Deep State had over Twitter before him. Okay, so why would the Cult/Deep State that already dictated content on Twitter allow an alleged ‘free speech absolutist’ to take over unless that suited them?

Musk went back on the podcast of his groupie Joe Rogan to emphasise the same point about the Twitter Files proving what control the Deep State had of the platform. Nowhere to be seen or heard from Rogan (or Carlson) was the prime question: If the Deep State controlled Twitter and what was posted why did they sell it to you?? By now Musk’s eunuchs in the MAM were so spellbound that such obvious questions were off-limits. I experienced the outrage directed at me when I posed them. Musk-mesmerised MAMs were spitting outrage and fury. The answer to those questions is that Elon Musk is not genuine and a Pied Piper leading his entranced MAMs to the edge of the cliff. 

The scam works like this: Without the acquisition of Twitter, the MAM would have had to address all the ways that Musk is serving the agenda that they claim to be exposing. Once he became ‘Chief Twit’, everything changed. Cognitive dissonance seized control of the MAM which was overwhelmed by split-brain syndrome. Musk was serving the Cult in all those ways and yet he was still ‘one of us’ – ‘Elon!, Elon!, Elon! Oh, thank you, sir!’ 

This always happens when you are so desperate for something to be true, and someone to be genuine, that you block out everything that shows that it’s not true and disingenuous. Musk and his masters appeared to have MAMs in some sort of trance in which all rational thought was suspended. Alex Jones in his ‘New Year Message’ at the dawn of 2024 said he wanted to see humanity as a ‘space-faring nation, a space-faring world, and setting up humanity 2.0 which Elon Musk is talking about’. Humanity 2.0? WTF? Space-faring? Our reality is a holographic simulation, a perceptual trap. Should we be ‘space-faring’ the illusion or freeing our minds from it? [...]

Who really owns Twitter/X?

We are told that Elon Musk controls Twitter/X, but does he? He merged Twitter in early 2023 into a new company, X Corp. The platform is not the property only of Musk. Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz of ‘free speech’ Saudi Arabia owns a major stake and other shareholders include billionaire Lawrence J. Ellison, Revocable Trust, Sequoia Capital, Vy Capital, Binance, A.H. Capital Management, Qatar Holdings, Alia Capital Partners, and Fidelity Management. 

Hardly a bunch of free speech absolutists. Ellison is listed as the world’s eighth-wealthiest man with assets of $130 billion. He owns 98 percent of Lanai, the sixth biggest island in the Hawaiian group, and the Ellison Institute of Technology which involved war criminal former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair. He handed Blair tens of millions for his Blair Institute for Global Change which is Cult agenda to the quicks on its fingers. What interest would Ellison have in free speech which Blair seeks to destroy? Ellison is very focussed on life extension and biotechnology which is a major unifying force among the billionaire MAM crowd. 

Twitter/X owners, X Corp, is itself a subsidiary of X Holdings Corp. Twitter/X is therefore owned and controlled by X Holdings Corp which was registered only in March 2023 and some very interesting details emerged about this when a group of former Twitter employees fired by Musk filed a lawsuit to secure compensation. Judge Susan Illston ordered that Musk and his company must reveal all owners of X Holdings Corp which turned out to be 95 shareholders that he did not want to publicly name. Musk’s lawyers responded by listing the 95 individuals, private families, trusts, and organisations that own Twitter via X Holdings Corp, but with all the names redacted even including Elon Musk. The lawyers argued that disclosing the names ‘would result in injury’. Oh really – how? The lawyers then filed for the names to be kept secret and the judge agreed. She ruled that ‘the Court grants the motion and orders that the unredacted statement shall be shared with petitioners’ counsel subject to the condition that petitioners and their counsel shall maintain the confidentiality of the statement’. Musk was allowed to go on keeping secret the names of the 95 entities that own Twitter/X.

We do know that the state of Qatar invested in Musk’s acquisition of Twitter through its Qatari sovereign wealth fund and in late 2022 Saudi Arabia’s Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz said in a US Securities and Exchange Commission filing that he had invested $1.9 billion to become Twitter’s second biggest shareholder after Musk. Qatar was awarded the 2022 World Cup purely for money and this was attended by Musk who was pictured with Donald Trump’s ultra-Zionist son-in-law Jared Kushner who was ‘senior adviser’ to Trump during his years in the White House. 

Kushner was reportedly handed a $2 billion ‘investment’ at the end of the Trump presidency by the Saudi Public Investment Fund headed by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Remember the Saudi link that Musk claimed for the tweet about taking Tesla private? That involved the trillion dollar Public Investment Fund that invests on behalf of the Saudi Arabian government controlled by Mohammed bin Salman. There are some very dubious players and many of the usual suspects involved in Twitter/X and Musk companies in general. The website Techdirt.com said: “We’ve already written a few times about Elon Musk’s “Grok” AI from his company xAI, which may or may not be a part of ExTwitter, or possibly Tesla, but no one really knows because all of Elon’s companies blend together in a mishmash of hell for anyone who believes in good, normal corporate governance.” He’s a man you can trust alright. [...]

Musk says he wants to turn ‘X’ into an ‘everything app’ that would combine banking, buying and selling, Internet, and social media posting. He said he wants X to handle everything in your life that deals with money and told X employees that he expected this to launch by the end of 2024 although many of his predictions for his businesses have not come to pass in his timescale. Musk said that an X email system – ‘XMail’ – was on the way. This is a centralised, cross-referencing wet dream for the Cult agenda which Musk so obviously serves.

But don’t you worry. He’s one of us.

YouTube Is Up to Nefarious Things!

Launched in September 2020, Odysee is a video platform based on the LBRY protocol designed to host videos in a decentralised manner with peer to peer. It relies on the blockchain protocol which allows payments in LBC cryptocurrency rather than resorting to advertisers or advertising. The blockchain system allows users to create a network of decentralised file sharing thus making any attempt to suppress videos impossible. Odysee also has more flexible rules than Vimeo or YouTube regarding moderation and permitted content. However, pornographic and violence-enticing contents are prohibited on the platform.

Due to anticipated censorship, some of my videos are available on Odysee (and Crowdbunker) only. I therefore call on you to join me on this platform rather than on YouTube. Think of all the time wasted due to imposed ads and all the negative energy it creates within. Odysee's redirection application is a real blessing. Of course, it works only for videos available on Odysee, which is becoming more frequent with censorship as many creators are covering their backs, synching their YouTube channels on Odysee. The point is that most people don't know about genuine alternative solutions. So let's do your part and spread the word around.Ey@el

Dear Creators,

We'll keep this brief.

  1. YouTube is testing the requirement that enforces log in to watch videos.
  2. Now Youtube will forcefully insert ads into your videos.

We already know that YouTube sucks, but this new experimentation is next level stupid.

In order to avoid this stupidity, we recommend the following:

  1. If you're creator, uploading your videos directly to Odysee will retain the integrity of your content for your community. The process is simple and we recommend trying it.
  2. If you're a viewer, have you heard of our Odysee browser extension? You can add this plugin to any Chrome based browser and it will redirect you to watch on Odysee anytime you see a video that's on YouTube.

We hope these issues do not become significant and we will stay vigilant to ensure your experience is not compromised.
You can support us by mentioning to the creators you enjoy that they should consider uploading to Odysee directly, and by sharing the Watch on Odysee plugin with users.

Best wishes

P.S.: Some big updates coming within a couple of weeks :)

Elon Musk the "Free Speech" Hero?

Elon Musk is a technocrat to his DNA and his grandfather Joshua Haldeman was the leader of the technocratic movement in Canada in the 1930s where it was banned as a threat to overthrowing the government. Haldeman relocated to South Africa where Musk was born. Technocracy is the term for a government controlled by bureaucrats, technocrats, scientists, engineers and medical ‘experts’ and not by elected politicians.

We saw what ‘medical experts’ means during the ‘Covid’ lockdown years and the rollout of the fake vaccine. Joshua Haldeman’s movement said that ‘outdated social institutions [were] blocking progress and politicians should be swept aside, just as alchemists and astrologers had previously given way to science’. Their manifesto said: ‘Modern common sense is now calling upon physical science and technology to extend the frontiers of their domain.’

Russian writer Yevgeny Zamyatin, invoking his experience of post-revolution Russia and the Soviet Union, condemned technocratic philosophy and foresaw a society in which people were numbers, not names, and cogs in a ‘vast industrial machine’. This is the no-politician society sought by the Cult in which people would be numbers, not names, and cogs in a vast AI machine.

It is true that a person should not be judged purely by his family connections and I don’t do so with Musk. There is much more to it than that. Elon Musk fronts up a series of companies which all advance the Cult agenda. There is Neuralink that seeks to connect the human brain to computers; Tesla with its electric and autonomous vehicles; Tesla also produces ‘micro-homes’ which is where humans are planned to live under the Great Reset; and there is SpaceX which is launching tens of thousands of low-orbit satellites to fire 5G, 6G, and 7G at every inch of the planet to form the AI Cloud to which humans are supposed to be connected.

Musk is promoted as a maverick of The System when without Cult money and colossal government handouts he would be done for. Amazing how a ‘maverick’ can square that circle. We are further asked to believe that a Cult which already controlled Twitter and its content would suddenly transfer control to a man who calls himself a ‘free-speech absolutist’. They even threatened to take him to court to make sure the purchase went through. Much has been made of the ‘Twitter Files’ which Musk subsequently released to reveal the control of Twitter content previously imposed by aspects of the Deep State including the corrupt to its fingertips FBI. This has been reported within aspects of the alternative media as confirmation that Musk is a good guy on the side of the people.

I would say it shows something else that puts the Musk purchase in a different light. Okay, so it confirms what we knew that the Deep State (an expression of the Cult) was calling the shots at Twitter. So why when that control was secured, did they just hand it over to the said ‘free speech absolutist’ Elon Musk?

We must be very careful that a scam is not underway here which makes Musk a people’s hero who can direct potential Cult opposition into cul-de-sacs and ravines. I am seeing Musk regularly quoted by many alternative media platforms as if what he says is ‘anti-system’ and even referred to as ‘Elon’ like you would with a friend. My view is that the alternative media is being hijacked perceptually and that Musk is part of this. I will explain more at the end of the book.

Musk’s ridiculous profile as a shining light of freedom reached new heights with a two-part interview on the Tucker Carlson Show on Fox News in which he warned about the dangers of AI and loss of freedom while being an asset of the very Deep State using AI to hijack the world and delete freedom. Musk was presented to a pushbacker audience as ‘one of us’. Carlson said after his sacking in 2023 by Rupert Murdoch and Fox News for telling the truth that he would bring back his show on Twitter. Carlson has done some great work exposing political corruption and the Woke agenda over the years, but he and we have to be very careful that opposition to the Cult is not corralled and hijacked by agents of the Cult. Musk may have warned about AI in the Carlson interview but he used the opportunity to promote ‘his’ latest AI project. I don’t know how more obvious it could be short of Musk having ‘conman’ written on his forehead.

I can tell you from long experience of researching Cult operatives that they are very uncomfortable in situations where they cannot control the outcome.

Control freaks are always haunted by insecurity which is why they want to control everything. They cannot cope with states of flux and unpredictable outcomes and to mitigate this flaw they set out to control all sides. They cannot always do so because of Divine Spark reaction, but they are always trying. Cult insecurity comes from the insecurity of their demon masters who are in constant terror of being exposed and their essential loosh† supply disappearing.

Some might say, hold on, you said the Cult is AI so why would it be insecure? But as I have said they are not AI as we perceive it. They are an advanced AI with a form of consciousness that is affected by their reality and Divine Spark responses as well as seeking to impose their program upon them. Think of a program that has the self-awareness to know when its program is under threat or isn’t working according to plan (Agent Smith in the Matrix movies). Cult modus operandi is to seek to control all sides – for and against what the demons want – so they can dictate the outcome. Cult operatives posing as ‘one of us’ like Musk and Trump are there to lead the genuine, if naïve, opposition to glorious failure. The Cult has moved in on the alternative media and mindset since the emergence of Trump and then Musk as advocates of ‘freedom’. The idea has been to take it over and hold the line of exposure to ‘here and no further’.

Musk is most certainly not a ‘free speech absolutist’ despite the hype. Twitter announced that it will downgrade what is called ‘hate speech’ and it will be hidden behind a warning that reads: ‘Visibility limited: this Tweet may violate Twitter’s rules against Hateful Conduct’. Who defines ‘hateful conduct’? They do. ‘Offending’ tweets will be excluded from search results, trends, and recommended screens, with other sanctions also possible. Twitter said this policy would be expanded to ‘other applicable policy areas in the coming months’.

Matt Taibbi, a journalist Musk asked to analyse the ‘Twitter Files’, quit Twitter after it restricted all links and tweets about Substack which has become the home of many censored writers. Taibbi returned a few days later. A Forbes article said:

Musk was heralded by some as a champion of free speech when he first bought Twitter in October 2022. But it quickly became obvious the social media platform would serve as his own personal fiefdom rather than a platform governed by any coherent set of principles.

Reality dawned on ‘Musk is a free-speech hero’ advocates when he appointed Linda Yaccarino, a top NBC Universal executive, as CEO of Twitter. Yaccarino is an Executive Chair of Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum and heads the WEF’s Taskforce on Future of Work. She also serves on the Media, Entertainment and Culture Industry Governors Steering Committee and is involved in other WEF initiatives. Yaccarino was described by one website as ‘a vaccine-pushing, pro-mask-wearing, WEF globalist’. She’s also a fan of censorship. Musk said Yaccarino would focus primarily on business operations and turning Twitter into an ‘everything app’ called X which would apparently be modelled on China’s WeChat. How appropriate. Parts of the alternative arena can be so naive. By their ACTIONS shall you know them and not by their words.

Endnotes

  • ^ It seems to me loosh is a strong inrush of vital energy caused by a strong desire in the individual experiencing it. It’s that adrenaline surge you feel in a fight-or-flight situation. But it’s more than a chemical, because we are told loosh is also generated in a situation like a lonely person pining, where no adrenaline is involved. In both cases, there is a common element: a strong emotional desire. Negativity seems to be what makes the harvesting possible, but it is not the loosh. It’s something that sometimes laces loosh, and its presence is necessary for access to the substance by interdimensional energy-eaters. Negativity is not the essential emotion but an overlay emotion, and when it is present, it creates a drain on the inrush of vital energy. (Source)

What NO ONE Is Saying About Tucker Carlson’s Putin Interview

Doubt is a corollary of intelligence. So is humility.

Christel Petitcollin

I don't know what I don't know” keeps repeating US-based Ivorian podcaster Mohammed Diallo, stating the obvious. And he's absolutely right on that point. With all due respect to every “experts” and dogmatists of one kind or another, no one holds the truth. Period. Everyone can make mistakes including those who've always been showing great discernment – and that, the human ego, terrified of anything it cannot control, has great trouble accepting.

All this to make it clear that the article below reflects the author's views, not necessarily mine. However, the reason I chose to share it with you is because, in my opinion, he makes some valid points (remember “rogue“ mainstream journalist Richard Boutry in France) and my gut feeling is that it's all too easy. I hate to burst the bubble and sound like a black-pilled purveyor of disinformation, the fact is those who've been pulling the strings on this planet for so long are not as stupid as some wrongly assume. It would be very naive or very arrogant for us to believe that “draining the swamp” will be enough to make the world a good place to live in. I'm anticipating the outrage, but if the world is what it is today – if those corrupt entities have been able to cause so much damage for so long, it's essentially our fault as humankind. Just look at how we behave at the smallest level, the thoughts we entertain, the words we speak, etc. “It's not me, THEY started this!” Anyway, I won't go over things I keep repeating at length on every occasion. As long as we keep fuelling the same storylines within, in our subconscious, the movie won't be any different no matter how many times you change the sets and actors.

Nothing will ever change even with the most honest leaders in the world (as if such utopia could somewhat exist, which I'm very doubtful about) as long as the grassroots (us) are ungrounded and bogged down in their mind fog and magma of discrepancies. Let's grow up. Let's step out of the schoolyard. Let's stop believing in unicorns and let's work on shifting our inner vibration to pull our own Excalibur out of the stone. No one can do it for us. Everything else is a distraction to prevent us from getting on with the job, for once we all regain our sovereignty, no self-proclaimed king of the world can ever claim our kingdom as theirs – that inner sanctuary harbouring the magic lantern projecting the film on the outside world. Feel free to dig in my Pensieve for more details on that inner work. I even designed a map to help you find your way. If you're still around, it's because you can do it.

Everyone is talking about Tucker Carlson’s interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The two-hour long conversation was live-streamed on twitter. Every major news outlet has had some form of coverage.

You can watch the whole thing HERE.

After eight years of covering the Ukraine coup/civil War, and more specifically Western propaganda on Russia, I could pretty much tell you everything Putin was going to say before he said it.

Anybody who has covered Russia or Ukraine could tell you that.

He was always going to detail, in cogent and historically literate terms, Russia’s position on Ukraine.

He was always going to cite the (very real) broken promises Western diplomats made about NATO’s Eastward expansion.

He was almost certainly going remake his very worthy point about US foreign policy never seeming to change no matter who is President.

He’s an intelligent and persuasive speaker, and he was always going to do well.

And, if this was 2014, that would be great.

But it’s not 2014 is it?

It’s 2024 & the world is being hurried fast toward the Brave New (“multipolar”) Normal. Russia is on board with Agenda 2030 & very powerful western establishment voices are now promoting Putin & his once-sidelined views.

In the face of these realities we should be asking questions about the relevance and purpose of this kind of geopolitical theatrics.

Let’s remind ourselves again that everyone is talking about the Putin interview.

EVERYONE.

From Hillary to Elon to Russell Brand.

Every major news outlet covered it, too. Maybe they “fact-checked” it, maybe they ranted about it or insisted it be banned, but they were all talking about it.

Let’s compare and contrast that coverage to the coverage of Oliver Stone’s 4-part interview with Putin in 2017.

Seriously. Look at the difference. It tells you a great deal about how the establishment agenda is changing. There were no big headlines then.

But I don’t want to talk about Putin. Because everyone is talking about Putin.

We Are the News Now

A couple of months back, I introduced you to Gordo {Bot}'s digital soldier anthem. Our Scottish friend strikes back today with a new punchy, strongly-worded musical opus about the danger of systematic censorship which does not just affect those who challenge the increasingly blatant lies, but also and mostly those who buy into a narrative so inconsistent it's collapsing on all sides. To such an extent that it now takes a great deal of unwillingness (and fear probably) to remain in a state of denial and subjugation.

Please, remember the famous poem by pastor Martin Niemöller about the cowardice of German intellectuals following the Nazis' rise to power and subsequent incremental purging of their chosen targets, group after group:

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out —
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out —
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out —
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me —
And there was no one left to speak for me.

“In 2021, censorship has become more apparent than ever. It seems anyone who wants to speak the truth (or at least challenge a narrative that we are force fed) is shut down” says Gordon. Being deleted from several social media platforms simply for posting his "Digital Soldiers" song made him wonder whether the voice of those who are 'awake' didn't make Big Tech nervous. At any rate, it inspired him to record and film the song below right away.

We Are The News Now

When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say...

We are the news, we are the news now
When the people rise up, when the people can't lose no
We are the news, we are the news now
When the people rise up, when the people can't lose no

If the TV said it's raining I'd still look outside my window
I dunno who to trust
It's a common theme I know
And I can't decide if all the voices will be loud enough to hold, to hold

There's something really fishy going on in here
There's something really fishy going on in here
If we don't think twice
We'll pay the price
There's something really fishy going on in here

Your censorship won't keep us down
The more you hide
The more we get loud

We are the news, we are the news now
(Get loud!)
When the people rise up, when the people can't lose no
(Get loud!)
We are the news, we are the news now
(Get loud!)
When the people rise up, when the people can't lose no

Could it be, our history was a lie from the get-go?
Should it mean, we trust the plan, just because they said so?
These are dangerous times
With dangerous minds
Oh help me now, please help us now

There's something really fishy going on in here
There's something really fishy going on in here
If we don't think twice
We'll pay the price
There's something really fishy going on in here

Your censorship won't keep us down
The more you hide
The more we get loud

We are the news, we are the news now
(Get loud!)
When the people rise up, when the people can't lose no
(Get loud!)
We are the news, we are the news now
(Get loud!)
When the people rise up, when the people can't lose no

We are the news, we are the news now
(Get loud!)
When the people rise up, when the people can't lose no
(Get loud!)
We are the news, we are the news now
(Get loud!)
When the people rise up, when the people can't lose no

The Deceivers

You are, you are the weakness
You are, you are
The sickness that’s in my soul
You are you are you are the maker
You are called greed and you’re a cheat
You are you are you are the deceiver
You are not welcome in my life

"The Deceiver", The Alarm (1984)

As it turns out impossible to embed this short video by Deep Media Times posted on Telegram, you may view it HERE on my VK page and read the transcript and translation from French below.

Ey@el

So you consider all this is ridiculous?

It's all a show indeed. The media are just entertainment companies designed to divert you, to make you look the other way and hijack your minds. They are designed to teach you to consume. The true and the false get all muddled up. There never has been any truth in the media unless it benefits people who don't have your best interest at heart.

The system is “highly complex or even pernicious” (sic Macron). They are using hypnosis merely to make you more malleable and receptive to pedlars of dreams and purveyors of evil notions.

The media are common places for your culture. Yes, they cultivate you to reap your consent. You are told how to think, who your enemies are today and who your friends will be tomorrow.

Their cowardice and compliance make the media lie, rig, and disinform for political correctness.

But you do know they are lying, don't you? You do know they are telling tales.

Digital Soldiers

Where we go one we go all! To cut a long ripple effect story short, this great hymn to resistance was brought to my attention in the comments on a post by Matt Bellamy on Instagram. A Muse fan was complaining his song had been censored everywhere and it sparked my curiosity. So I asked him where I could hear it. He then explained that upon release, his video had gone viral and all the channels which had shared it got immediately shut down by YouTube. So did the Instagram account on which he had posted it, whereas his YouTube channel got shadow-banned — which literally makes you invisible to other users unless they enter your URL. Shame on those who still believe in conspiracies! Since I loved this song so much (the kind Muse would appreciate) I had the idea to share it on the Telegram chat of the DéQodeurs (a French community committed against mainstream fake news) who promptly reposted it on their news thread, which helped Gordo {Bot} increase their number of views and even receive donations to help fund the making of a full album, and also owed them supportive comments from many French digital soldiers. Gordon is based in Glasgow and the cute 5 year-old playing electronic drums in the video is his daughter, Melodie. You may also check his very stylish and professional official video HERE.

Are You Living an Insta Lie? Social Media Vs. Reality

Right after Polaroid Android, your summer series intended as an ironic rereference to Instagram (and not just the dumbing down series broacast on TV during the summer holidays), here is a short silent but very suggestive video expressing the unease created and propagated by social media especially photo and video sharing platforms such as Instagram where some people literally and figuratively became image pros. Not only are you shown selected details taken out of context as demonstrated by the various scenes on the video, but everything is Photoshopped, prepared, simulated.

These are not instant snapshots. Yet, social conditioning and the need to be accepted by your peers mean that even though no one is really fooled, we still consent to this game and end up going along with it.

This is an insidious game that can be extremely damaging to your self-esteem by increasing the gap between what you eyes can see in the mirror and what is projected on your screen. Physical reality vs. virtual reality. Can't you see what would be the next “natural” (this is irony) step?

From being incarnated into organic matter your conscience would end up trapped forever into inorganic material via microchips and other implants designed to make you superhuman which they'll first try to sell you before making them mandatory. I really hate to lower your spirits or scare you, but you absolutely need to understand there is no pros and cons to transhumanism. It's just NO WAY!

Such a choice would have irreversible consequences not just for the length of your current physical lifespan for you'd become immortal and death would no longer provide a way out. Why do you think they made the vampire myth so popular? This is the idea, but the Instagram way. Hell presented as Heaven. As Dumbledore told Lord Voldemort, “There are things much worse than death”. Now is the time to wake up, no matter what urgent business you have to do. There is NOTHING more urgent than this.

Here’s Why “Fake News” Sites Are Dangerous

In a world of lies, deceit, distortion and scheming of all kinds, it's only natural to hear the same arrogant dishonest politicians and mainstream media hold the increasing “disinformation” on the Internet and social media responsible for the failure of their propaganda. Are truthseekers and brave whisleblowers to blame for the host of skeletons these good people — all politically but not humanly correct — have stacked in their closet over the course of their wild abusive unpunished rides beginning to stick out or for the fruitlessness of their attempts to impede the massive awakening of consciousness by all (inconceivable) means and ways in order to maintain their hegemony? It's a low-flying panic attack, the rats are freaking out big time. And when these ladies and gentlemen are losing it, there's no room for half-measures or subtlety. As reports Waking Times Media, “After the absurdity that was the 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton supporters and establishment Democrats excoriated Zuckerberg for dereliction of duty in failing to remove sham news articles and sites from his wildly popular platform (Facebook) — because, in their eyes, this putative “fake” news literally swung the election toward Donald Trump.” (Source) But truly that!

The war on fake news is now officially on, targeting not only social media (Facebook and Twitter) but also the whole of the Internet. “A brand new website, propornot.com, has just made its appearance condemning a list of 200 Internet websites that provide news and views at variance with the presstitute media that serves the governments’ agendas”,  writes American journalist and economist Paul Craig Roberts. He continues pointing at the Washington Post as “a prime apologist for these war criminals” whose total crimes exceed those of Nazi Germany. “The entire Western print and TV media”, he says, “is so heavily implicated in the worst war crimes in human history that, if justice ever happens, the presstitutes will stand in the dock with the Clintons, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, Obama and their neocon operatives or handlers as the case may be.” (Source). And it doesn't stop with politics, of course (just one example, alternative health site Natural News is featured on the above-mentioned list).

Pigs, don't grunt! When the wolves are done with all the evil-minded coyotes and jackals, you may grow wings, what's the use then when there'll be nowhere left to fly to?

Ey@el

Here is your daily mantra: “narrow the range of thought, narrow the range of thought.”

Exposing elites who run the world?

Exposing pedophile networks?

Documenting the lies and fabrications of major media?

Laying bare the manipulations of Globalists?

Revealing the crimes of both major political parties in America?

Uncovering the spread of pharmaceutical devastation?

Tracking the ruthless ops of major corporations?

Yes, many so-called “fake news” sites do all this and much more—but something else is also going on.

Many of these sites were launched and are spearheaded by ONE man or woman.

No person outside the mainstream is supposed to be so emboldened by his/her own point of view and passion.

Anonymous Message to Corrupt Mainstream Media

This is neither the first nor the last time I shall stress how critically important it is for you to trust your own instincts (or gut feeling if you like) when it comes to information even when I'm the direct or indirect source. My purpose sharing my findings, feelings and personal journey with you is not to pose as a knower of truth nor seek some kind of approval or validation from you, but rather to give you food for thought you might not have originally considered. Because that's the only way you can break free. Again, do not take my word for granted, create your first hand experiences. Try to move past almighty rationalism (in appearance only as in reality, it's totally fucked up if I may say so) following your feelings instead and observe the change that will happen within then around you. Be careful, though, not to confuse misperceptions (ego) with your deepest instinct (higher-self). So it's not that simple, but if you're sincere and persistent in your intention, signs and opportunities to distinguish between both should arrive very soon. Please, trust the superior intelligence within you. Reside in your heart and gain certainty. Dwell in your head and get lost in doubt.

There has been no shortage of Anonymous messages lately, and it’s no surprise given how much is going on right now.

Reporting from North Dakota here in Standing Rock, we have seen a complete lack of mainstream media. Even when Robert Kennedy Jr. came down, we were the only organization to get a one on one interview with him, how is that even possible given the size of what’s happening here at Standing Rock?

Mainstream media isn’t dropping the ball, they simply aren’t interested in supporting and covering what’s happening here, and it is likely because of who they are owned by.

9 Signs You’ve Become a Tool of the Entertainment Industrial Complex

I'm well aware that, in many ways, some of my chosen posts/reposts may seem counter-intuitive. Actually, it shouldn't be a surprise when considering the human psyche and the mind-blowing conditioning we are all subject to from the womb and must absolutely find a way to extricate ourselves from in order to win this “war for consciousness”.

A lengthy but necessary preamble to anticipate potential remarks — that would be totally relevant — regarding previous posts urging you not to compare yourself with others to step out of ego traps. It relates directly to what I'm about to say and may appear to go against such recommendation. So when I stumbled upon this article, I could not help but feel excited to be a part of the combatants and measure how far I have come since... in fact, not so long ago. For admittedly, like many I too had become a tool of the entertainment industry at some point. Never fully but enough not to be too harsh on those who have been totally snatched up (also commonly known as sheeple). It is unfortunately the case with many of my relatives and (ex) friends. To them, I'm crazy, deluded — a black sheep, a witch...

It hurts like hell to watch them getting their heart and soul eaten up, powerless to interfere. Try and explain to these people that they are exactly like those junkies they despise so much. Any attempt to force them off the hook would be suicide. And in violation of the free will governing this part of the universe. We thus need to find other ways. Because what's the use of shaking ourselves out of apathy if we are to allow this to continue? Why should we be afraid? Once you figure out how the illusion works, you soon realise there is much more to gain than to lose anyway.  A simple mathematical equation. Isn't maths their thing after all?

The little girl is a warrior
She plays a dangerous game
And kao kao bang!

"Kao Bang", Indochine (1983)

Although it may seem daunting, who said we had to carry the world on our shoulders? Aren't we an army of spiritual warriors who prefer the snowball effect to forceful methods? Don't get me wrong on the terminology here — language codes that is words are necessary since telepathic blogging is still a long way off. Though, if it wasn't how would those who are just awakening have access to the information as it's been the case for us previously?

Ey@el

We find ourselves at a critical time in history, on the brink of self-destruction, yet under the spell of so many lies, illusions and false realities. A survey of the actors on stage reveals the shocking truth that so many of the would-be-could-be change-makers out there are absent, sidelined, and simply not present or available for action when we need them most. Instead, so many of us are totally engrossed in entertainment-based lifestyles, substituting games, fantasies and phony arenas for the drama and achievement of real life.

Where are all the young warriors and radicals out there who won’t stand for the abuse, oppression, surveillance, tyranny, and debt slavery being handed down by older generations? And why do so many young people seem to care not at all about world events, the quality of government, or the future of our society and culture?

Facebook Is a CIA Databank

While this article was written four years ago, nowadays (virtually) everyone knows that social media is being strongly monitored by authorities and intelligence services of all parties. Now, the recent terrorist attacks in Paris have offered France the means and opportunity to step out in the open and initiate emergency legislation to keep spying on us the American way. Those who'd do absolutely anything to remain in denial will probably utter the usual memorised claptrap. No doubt, the snooty and arrogant ignorant know-it-all may argue that for some, evil is everywhere and that anyway, they have nothing to fear since they have nothing to hide (second statement is true, however the first one...). I still take the trouble to reach out with some insightful links, albeit mainly for those who might feel inspired and strong enough to preach the word to their zombified circle. It's a long shot, but you have my wholehearted support.

Ey@el

In my Feb. 16 article ''Facebook & Google are CIA Fronts,'' I argued  that Facebook and Google data mine information about you. This is now public knowledge.

The Associated Press reported November 4 that the CIA has an entire center dedicated to monitoring Facebook and Twitter.  They also monitor TV stations and print newspapers.

"The Open Source Center," established in 2005 by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, has been operating since the 9/11 Commission's  call for foreign counter-intelligence.

European Media Writing pro-US Stories Under CIA Pressure

As previously announced, here's a repost and my full transcript (which required a bit of research on my part) of the interview of Udo Ulfkotte, a former editor of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, one of the largest newspapers in Germany, on alternative media RT News in which he admits having worked for the CIA and that he is now coming forward because he is afraid of a war between the United States, Europe and Russia. A good reminder that there is no such thing as an independent press as claimed by preeminent New York journalist John Swinton at a banquet back in 1880:

There is no such thing, at this date 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 dares to 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 opinion 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 so 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 paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalists 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 tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. 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.

CIA media pushing for war with Russia

I’ve been a journalist for about 25 years, and I was educated to lie, to betray, and not to tell the truth to the public. But seeing right now within the last months how the German and American media try to bring war to the people in Europe, to bring war to Russia — this is a point of no return and I’m going to stand up and say it is not right what I have done in the past, to manipulate people, to make propaganda against Russia, and it is not right what my colleagues do and have done in the past because they are bribed to betray the people, not only in Germany, all over Europe.

The reason for writing this book was that I'm very fearful of a new war in Europe and I don't like to have this situation again because war is never coming from itself. There is always people behind it to push for war. And this is not only politicians, this is journalists too. And I've just have written in the book how we have betrayed in the past our readers just to push for war and because I don't want this anymore. I'm fed up with this propaganda. We live in a banana republic and not in a democratic country where we have press freedom, where we have human rights.

If you see, the German media, especially my colleagues who day by day write against the Russians, who are in transatlantic organisations, and who are supported by the United States to do so, well people like me, I became honorary citizen of the state of Oklahoma in the United States. Why? Just because I wrote pro-American. I was supported by the Central Intelligence Agency, the CIA. Why? Because I should be pro-American. I'm fed up with it, I don't want to do it anymore and so I've just written a book not to earn money — it will cause a lot of trouble to me — just to give the people in this country, in Germany, in Europe and all over the world a glimpse of a view what goes on behind the closed doors.

The genocide of Iraqi Kurds with German-made poison gas

There are many examples for that. If you just go back to history, into the year 1988 — if you go to your archives, you'll find that in March 1988, in Iraq, the Kurdish people have been gassed with poison gas. That is known all over the world. But in July 1988, they sent me to a town called Zubaidat, that is on the Iraqi-Iranian border. It was war between the Iranians and the Iraqis and I was sent there to photograph how the Iranians have been gassed with poison gas — German poison gas. You call it lost and yprite mustard gas made by Germany. And I was there to make photographs of how these people have been killed by poison gas from Germany.

When I came back to Germany, there was just one small photo in a newspaper, The Frankfurter Allgemeine, and there was one small article. Not writing how brutal, inhuman and terrible it was to kill people with German mustard gas decades after the end of World War II. So this was a situation where I felt misused for having being there just to give a documentary of what had been done, but not being allowed to cry out to the world what we have done behind closed doors. Up to today, it is not well-known in the public that was the German Public House there had been hundreds of thousands of people gassed in this city of the Zubaidat.

Non-official cover (NOC)

Now you ask what I have done for intelligence agencies? So, please see, most of the journalists you see in foreign countries claim to be journalists — they might be journalists, European or American journalists, but many of them, like me in the past, are so-called “non-official cover”. That's how the American call them. I have been a non-official cover. Non-official cover means what? It means you do work for an intelligence agency, you help them if they want you to help them, but when you are locked or when they find out that you're not only a journalist but a spy too, they will never say: “This was one of our guys”. They will not know you, that means non-official cover.

So I have helped them in several situations and I feel ashamed for that too now. Like I feel ashamed that I have worked for very recommended newspapers like The Frankfurt Allgemeine because I was bribed by billionaires, I was bribed by the Americans not to report exactly the truth.

I just imagined in my car while I was driving to these interviews, I just tried to work out in my brain what would have happened if I would have written a pro-Russian article in The Frankfurt Allgemeine. Well, I don't know what would have happened, but we were all educated to write pro-European, pro-American, but please, not pro-Russian. So I'm very sorry for that, but this is not what I understand for democracy and for press freedom. I'm very sorry for all that.

How young journalists get corrupted

Yes, I understand your question very well. Germany is still a kind of a colony of the United States. You'll see that in many points like the majority of the Germans don't want to have nukes in our country, but we still have American nukes. We're still kind of a colony of the Americans and being a colony, it is very easy to approach young journalists through — very important here — transatlantic organisations.

All journalists from really respected and recommended big German newspapers, magazines, radio stations, TV stations — they are all members or guests of those big transatlantic organisations. And there, in these transatlantic organisations, you are approached to be pro-American. There is nobody coming to you and say: “Well, we are the Central Intelligence Agency. Would you like to work for us?” No, this is not how it happens. What these transatlantic organisations do is they invite you for seeing the United States. They pay for that, they pay all your expenses and everything, so you are bribed to get more and more corrupt because they make you good contacts. You don't know whether these good contacts are let's say “non-official covers” or people officially working for Central Intelligence Agency or other American agencies so you make friends. You think they are friends and you cooperate with them. They ask you: “Oh, could you do me this favour? Could you do me that favour?” So your brain more and more is brainwashed though this guys.

And your question was: “Is it only the case with German journalists?” No, I think it is especially the case with British journalists because they have a much closer relationship. It is especially the case with Israelis, of course with French journalists — for a part, not that big as with the German or British journalists. It is the case for Australian journalists, for journalists from New Zealand, from Taiwan... there is many countries. Countries in the Arab world like Jordan, for example, like Oman. There is many countries where this happens, where you find people to claim they are respected journalists, but if you look behind them you'll find they are puppets on a string of the Central Intelligence Agency.

When Intelligence agencies write your articles

I'm sorry for interrupting you: I'll give you one example. Sometimes, the intelligence agencies come to your office and they want you to write an article. I'll give you an example not from stranger other journalists from me and myself. I've just forgotten the year, I just remember that the German Foreign Intelligence — Bundesnachrichtendienst, it is just a sister organisation of the Central Intelligence Agency, it was founded by the American intelligence agency — so one day, the BND, this German foreign intelligence agency, came to my office at The Frankfurter Allgemeine in Frankfurt and they wanted me to write an article about Libya and about Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. I had absolutely no secret information regarding Colonel Muammar Gaddafi and Libya but they gave me all this secret information and they just wanted me to sign the article with my name. I did that but it was an article that was published in The Frankfurter Allgemeine that originally came from the Bundesnachrichtendienst, the German Foreign Intelligence Agency. So do you really think that this is journalism intelligence agencies writing articles?

Oh yes, that article I have reprinted it partly in my book. That article was how Libya and Colonel Muammar Gaddafi secretly tried to build a poison gas factory. It was a story that was printed worldwide two days later but I had no information on that. It was the intelligence agency that wanted me to write this article. This is not the way journalism should work that intelligence agencies decide what is printed and what's not.

I'll give you a very good example if you say no: we have a rescue unit in Germany with helicopters for traffic accidents. They call themselves the Yellow Angels. There was one guy who didn't want to cooperate — he was a pilot of the helicopter service of the Yellow Angels in Germany. This guy said no to the Foreign Intelligence Service, Bundesnachrichtendienst, when they approach him and wanted him as an non-official cover to work for the German foreign intelligence agency, to pretend to be somebody from the Yellow Angels. So what happened was that he lost his job and the judge decided they were right because such a guy could not be trusted. He was kicked off his job because he didn't cooperate with the Foreign Intelligence Service. I knew what'd happen if I didn't cooperate with intelligence services.

The truth won't die

I have had six times my house searched because I was accused by the German public prosecutor of leaking state secrets. They hoped that I wouldn't do that ever again but I think it's worth it for the truth will come out one day. The truth won't die and I don't mind what happens. I've had three heart attacks, I have no children so if they want to bring me to court or to prison so it's worth it. For the truth.

Astroturf and Manipulation of Media Messages

As previously introduced in a reposted article about mainstream media journalists coming out to tell the truth to the public about the manipulation and distortion of information, Sharyll Attkisson is an investigative reporter based in Washington D.C. As a correspondent for CBS News for twenty years, she was rewarded for her great professionalism with many Investigative Emmy Awards. She's currently writing a book addressing “the unseen influences of corporations and special interests on the information and images the public receives every day in the news and elsewhere.” The following talk, “given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community”, is a blessing for anyone who might sometimes get confused as to distinguish between alleged conspiracies and fake myth debunkers. Definitely a must-watch/read especially for those who often take Wikepedia's word for granted.

Consider this fictitious example that's inspired by real life. Say, you're watching the news and you see a story about a new study on the cholesterol-lowering drug called Cholestor. They say Cholestor is so effective that doctors should consider prescribing it to adults and even children who don't yet have high cholesterol. Is it too good to be true?

You're smart, you decide to do some of your own research. You do a Google search, you consult social media Facebook and Twitter, you look at Wikipedia, web indies and non-profit websites and you read the original study in a peer-reviewed published medical journal. It all confirms how effective Cholestor is.

You do run across a few negative comments as a potential link to cancer, but you dismiss that because medical experts call the cancer link a “myth” and say that those who think there is a link there are quacks and cranks and nuts. Finally you learn that you own doctor recently attended a medical seminar. The lecture that he attended confirms how effective Cholestor is. So he sends you off with some free samples and a prescription. You've really done your homework. But what if all isn't as it seems?  

What if the reality you found was false? A carefully constructed narrative by unseen special interests designed to manipulate your opinion. A Trumanshowesque alternate reality all around you. Complacency in the news media combined with incredibly powerful propaganda and publicity forces mean we sometimes get little of the truth. Special interests have unlimited time and money to figure out new ways to spin it while cloaking their role. Surreptitious astroturf methods are now more important to these interests in traditional lobbying of congress — there's an entire industry built around it in Washington.

The definition of astroturf

What is astroturf? It's a perversion of grassroots as a fake grassroots. Astroturf is when political, corporate or other special interests disguise themselves and publish blogs, start Facebook and Twitter accounts, publish ads, letters to editors or simply post comments online to try to fool you into thinking an independent or grassroots movement is speaking. The whole point of astroturf is to try to give the impression of widespread support for or against an agenda when there's not.

Astroturf seeks to manipulate you into changing your opinion by making you feel as if you're an out liar when you're not. One example is the Washington Redskins name. Without taking a position on the controversy, if you simply were looking at news media coverage over the course of the past year or looking at social media, you probably had to conclude that most Americans can find that name offensive and think it ought to be changed. But what if I told you 71% of Americans say the name should not be changed? That's more than two thirds.

Astroturfers seek to controversialise those who disagree with them. They attack news organisations that publish stories they don't like, whistleblowers who tell the truth, politicians who dare to ask the tough questions and journalists who have the audacity to report on all of it.

Sometimes, astroturf will simply shove intentionally so much confusing and conflicting information into the mix that you're left to throw up your hands and disregard all of it including the truth. Drown out of link between a medicine and a harmful side-effect, say vaccines and autism, by throwing a bunch of conflicting paid-for studies, surveys and experts into the mix, confusing the truth beyond recognition.

Wikipedia: astroturfers' favourite instrument

And then there's Wikipedia: astroturf's dream come true. Build as the free encyclopedia that anyone can have it, the reality can't be more different. Anonymous Wikipedia editors control and co-op pages on behalf of special interest. They forbid and reverse edits that go against their agenda. They skew and delete information in blatant violation of Wikipedia's own established policies with impunity always superior to the poor schlubs who actually believe anyone can add to Wikipedia only to discover they're barred from correcting even the simplest factual inaccuracies. Try adding a footnote or fact or correcting a fact there on one of these monitored Wikipedia ages of “pages” or spoof. Sometimes within a matter of seconds you'll find your edit is reversed.

In 2012, famed author Philip Roth tried to correct a major fact there about the inspiration behind one of his books character just cited on a Wikipedia page, but no matter how hard he tried, Wikipedia's editors wouldn't allow it. They kept reverting the edits back to the false information. When Roth finally reached a person at Wikipedia — which is no easy task — and tried to find out what was going wrong, they told him he simply was not considered a credible source on himself!

A few weeks later, there was a huge scandal when Wikipedia officials got caught offering a PR service, discute and edit information on behalf of paid publicity-seeking clients — another opposition to Wikipedia's supposed policies. All of this may be why when a medical study looked at medical conditions described in Wikipedia pages and compared this to actual peer at reviewed published research, Wikipedia contradicted medical research 90% of the time. You may never fully trust what you read on Wikipedia again. Nor should you.

The unseen interests behind Cholestor

Let's now go back to that fictitious Cholestor example and all the research you did. It turns out that the Facebook and Twitter accounts you found that were so positive were actually written by paid-professionals hired by the drug company to promote the drug. The Wikipedia page had been monitored by an agenda editor also paid by the drug company. The drug company also arranged to optimise Google search engine results so it was no accident that you stumbled across that positive non-profit and all the positive comments. The non-profit was of course secretly founded and funded by the drug company. The drug company also financed that positive study and used its power for editorial control to omit any mention of cancer as a possible side-effect. 

Once more, each and every doctor who publicly touted Cholestor or called the cancer link a myth or ridiculed critics as paranoid cranks and cracks or served on a government advisory board that approved the drug — each of those doctors is actually a paid-consultant for the drug company. As for your own doctor, the medical lecture he attended that held all that positive valuations was in fact like many continuing medical education classes sponsored by the drug company.

And when the news reported on that positive study, it didn't mention any of that. I have tons of personal examples from real life.

The National Sleep Foundation example

A couple of years ago, CBS News asked me to look into a story about a study coming out from the non-profit National Sleep Foundation. Supposedly this press release coming out said the study concluded “we are a nation with an epidemic of sleeplessness and we don't even know it. And we should all go ask our doctors about it.” A couple of things struck me about that.

First, I recognised the phrase “ask your doctor” as a catch phrase promoted by the pharmaceutical industry. They know that if they can get you foot to the door of the doctor's office to mention a malady, you're very likely to be prescribed the latest drug that's marketed.

Second, I wondered how serious an epidemic of sleeplessness could really be if we don't even know that we have it. Right? It didn't take long for me to do a little research and discover that the National Sleep Foundation non-profit and the study — which was actually a survey not a study — were sponsored in part by a new drug that was about to be launched on the market called Lunestar: a sleeping pill.

I reported the study as CBS News asked, but of course I disclosed the sponsorship behind the non-profit and the survey so the viewers could weigh the information accordingly. All the other news media reported the same survey directly off the press release as written without digging past the superficial. It later became an example written up in the Columbia Journalism Review which quite accurately reported that only we, at CBS News, had bothered to do a little bit of research and disclose the conflict of interest behind this widely reported survey.

How to recognise signs of propaganda and astroturf

So now you may be thinking: “What can I do? I thought I'd done my research. What chance do I have separating fact from fiction especially if "seasoned" journalists with years of experience can be so easily fooled?” Well, I have a few strategies which I can tell you about to help you recognise signs of propaganda and astroturf. Once you start to know what to look for, you'll begin to recognise it everywhere.

First, hallmarks of astroturf include use of inflammatory language such as “crank, quack, nutty, liar, paranoid, pseudo” and “conspiracy”.

Astroturfers often claim to debunk myths that aren't myths at all. Use of the charge language tastes well. People hear some things are myths, maybe they find it on Snopes and they instantly declare themselves too smart to fall for it. But what if the whole notion of the myth is itself a myth and you and Snopes fell for that?

Beware when interests attack an issue by controversialising or attacking the people, personalities and organisations surrounding it rather than addressing the facts: that could be astroturf.

And most of all, astroturfers tend to reserve all of their public scepticism of those exposing wrongdoing rather than the wrongdoers. In other words, instead of questioning authority, they question those who question authority.

You might start to see things a little more clearly. It's kind of like taking off your glasses and wiping them and putting them back on and realising for the first time how far they've been all along. I can't resolve these issues, but I hope that I've given you some information that will at least motivate you to take off your glasses and wipe them, and become a wiser consumer of information in an increasingly artificial paid-for reality.

Thank you.
