"Why everybody else goes along with it has been an abiding cultural mystery of our time. It probably just boils down to cowardice." ~ JHK

Cowardice is one aspect of it, but my suspicions are that the democrat party has gamed the system in regard to that which you cite: "The real culprit of all of it is the media, period.".

If my suspicions are correct, and MSM content is being paid to tell lies, I hope the Trump administration gets to the bottom of it, and if so, strips them of their broadcast licenses, and prosecutes those individuals who are knowingly promoting the lies.

I wasn't interested in watching the Fox news segment that was on at dinner time last night, so I decided I would see what MSM was promoting. Jen Psak was the moderator of the program, and if the content wasn't out right lies, it sure as hell was not an objective assessment.

When close friends and relatives promote the nonsense, and refuse to entertain a counter perspective, I find that to be disrespectful, especially in instances where essentially they view me and my family as being the problem for choosing not to get vaccinated. And they have the gall to defend someone like Fauci, and even provide excuses for his LIES.

In the case of my youngest sister, she is just plain ignorant, and doesn't want to be bothered with any of it (which I can appreciate), but when someone like that gets to unwittingly vote for "WW3", I can't help thinking that I should view such persons as my enemy. Who is the culprit? Once again, MSM!

I remember “Freedom of the Press” was instituted to allow the press to monitor the government for the people and report its shortcomings and corruption. Today, that is not practiced at all. The MSM is a mouthpiece for the Biden government, a liberal piece of shit not doing its ordained function at all.

I have in mind that Trump had been criticizing the likes of "Fake News CNN" for perhaps a year prior to his election.

Trump was on the defensive throughout his first 4 years as president. Indications are that he will be on the offense for the duration of his second 4 year term, and I can think of no better person to administer justice to these news organizations who have destroyed the fabric of society than DJT.

Just imagine what would happen if the Trump administration adopted a 24/7 White House press briefing where Trump would take the podium at 8am sharp and detail the current inefficiencies/waste/corruption that his administration was dealing with, and laid out the action which his administration intended to do to clean it up, and then took questions from the press. Heck, he could even take the first 5 minutes of his hour long session by addressing one of Joe Biden's executive orders, examining and citing the chaos and destruction it had unleashed, and then ripping it up Nancy Pelosi style. How would the likes of MSM report such briefings?

My bet is that he will put an end to fake news MSM, in New York style.

I. LOVE. IT.

Will Nancy Pelosi be up for the challenge, or will she fold like a house of cards?

Pelosi is a total ass. The mood of the country now may stop her influence, hopefully.

Pelosi is an attention-seeking skank, but I mean that in a nice way.

Scott Ritter logically lays out how the Biden administration is boxing Putin in, and essentially setting the world up for WW3.

What is a person to do when the ignorant refuse to entertain an objective perspective?

I am interested in entertaining a perspective that would counter Ritters assessment of how Putin, as a representative of the Russian people, has no choice in how he should view the West's words and actions.

"If my suspicions are correct, and MSM content is being paid to tell lies"

I believe there is something to this, and would like to see where our MSM is getting its revenue from. I thought as recently as 5 years ago the Chinese government was placing full page ads in the major newspapers touting their good works.

The pharmaceutical companies provide millions of dollars in ad spend to the major networks on products many people never buy. I believe the industry controls the media with this "investment".

Who owns the MSM? Is it the Irish? The Albanians? The Swedes? Who, ez, who? Maybe these owners tell the "reporters" what to say? Or the editors how to edit as to what policy to adopt.

Lugh - It doesn't matter to me who owns the MSM, in the sense you think about it. If they're breaking a law or conducting election interference they should be held accountable. Money in politics is a problem and the system needs to be reformed.

What if they're "just" slanting the news? Yes, reform: How many media companies, stations, or newspapers should the Jews be allowed to own or control?

Expand full comment

I suppose the Jews can control as many media sources as they want to. I'm not big on limiting speech. There are other media sources, X for example, that can offer a different viewpoint. More and more are going away from MSM.

So, who should be held accountable, and what should the punishment be?

No mystery at all there: It's the state religion. You'll be ruined in even medium high circles if you go against it. No, the deeper mystery is who set this whole thing up and why. Why do they hate the White race so much? And who exactly are they?

"And who exactly are they?" ~ Lugh

"They" are the people you have referenced so many times in the past.

"They" are the only way to explain how men wound up in women's "swim lane" (and not just in USA, but in the G7 nations, and throughout much of the world)!

On a personal level, I view their (my friends and relatives) lack of curiosity as disrespectful. This isn't a bunch on nincompoops who have "set this whole thing up", it is by design, and it is destroying the fabric of civilization. It seems obvious to me that the creation of "noise" is a cover for their misdeeds and furthering their objectives, and population reduction is another major factor.

According to some of Judge Nap's guests, various US intel agencies funded and facilitated both sides that joined forces to overthrow Assad, and this morning, Joe Biden wants to take credit for the overthrow, even though it is unknown if new leadership will be better or worse.

Perhaps WW3 is a requirement to eliminate all the animosity.

Heck, we do not have a clue who the new leadership is. Biden thinks they are all ISIS fighters, maybe they are. Assad was supported by Iran and Russia to maintain Russia’s seaport in Syria, what now?

I wonder who the rebels were getting their support from? MY guess? Think Arab Spring. Think Obama and Clinton supporting both sides to maintain balance and power. As Syria is a neighbor of Israel, their allegiance to Iran vs. Saudi Arabia (Shia vs. Sunni) may make a huge difference to the balance of power in the ME. You can bet that all sides are racing to get the allegiance of whoever rises as the leader of Syria. The USA is in last place here, it will not be long before all those boots on the ground in Syria are going to be asked to leave, ours, Russia’s. Israel’s. That seaport will become a cruise ship terminal?????

It's not white people they hate so much as the Christianity that comes with them. Christianity came to the world via the white man.

A fair point, but wrong nonetheless. The pagan Romans were a commercial people and the Jews thrived there as they have done here. But they hated the Romans as they hate us. Competition. No good sportsmanship when it comes to life and death issues.

They Romans even let them practice their own religion for the most part, unlike the earlier Greeks. Of course it's natural to want to be free. And the Herodians weren't really Jewish.

The Jews hated the Romans because the Romans represented multi deism in a society that believed in stoning people for blasphemy. The Romans were secular inside a society that was NOT. More Jews lived outside of Israel at the time than in, with one exception, Passover and other festivals when all the Jews wanted to return to Jerusalem to forgive their sins. The Romans dreaded these festivals as they always led to trouble. One Passover, they even allowed themselves to kill an “insurrectionist” at the behest of the Jewish leadership. That act changed the world.

Jewish ethnocentrism has been the bane of their existence since the Hebrew people were invented by God. God has always wanted them to carry His message to the world, that is why He planted them right in the middle of the world. Instead, ethnocentrism has blocked the missionary effect from the Jews. God tried to open things up through the Jewish nation but their leadership tried to kill that attempt. Thank God that Their attempts to squelch Jesus’ message have met with failure.
