Reducing the Unaccountable Power of Information Monopolies

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | October 25, 2020

Congress has no problem passing ‘The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012’, but shows little appetite in reigning in Big Tech’s manipulative propaganda. The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 is Operation Mockingbird on steroids — officially recognizing, legitimizing and funding the CIA’s previously illegal domestic propaganda and psychological operations designed to manipulate the media you consume.

What’s at stake?

Power to control reality: Your sense of history, science, truth and reality.
Manufacturing consent: Your informed or misinformed consent regarding the safety and efficacy of medicines.
Power to control elections in the hands of the unelected few: Control and manipulation of public opinion on politics using hidden algorithms and AI.
We are witnessing a modern-day book-burning orgy while financially destroying our best and brightest content creators – we are destroying knowledge to satisfy a few selfish interests.

Solution:

Regulate: will only create barriers to competitors since smaller companies can’t afford the large staff needed to comply with onerous government regulations. It is an historical fact that monopolies prefer to be heavily regulated to prevent entry into their markets by smaller competitors.
Break-up: Think Standard Oil. The breakup only made Rockefeller much wealthier.
Total transparency: Force Google, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and other monopolies to publicly post and otherwise reveal ALL their methods to serve up and manipulate data — including source code, algorithms and AI.

Using the Internet to Manufacture Obedience

The established power structure is bringing the internet to heel…

Google search is censored and propagandized
YouTube is censored and propagandized
Twitter is censored and propagandized
Reddit is censored and propagandized
Wikipedia is censored and propagandized
Facebook is censored and propagandized
Main Stream Media (News & Entertainment) are censored and propagandized
Amazon books are censored and propagandized

Beyond the obvious censorship above, many other sites have been removed and or damaged by Cloudflare, PayPal, Vimeo, Discord and others in an effort to censor content – 8Chan for example was removed by Cloudflare. And many Discord servers were deleted including Digging Deeper and PSB. Amazon has removed excellent books written by historians like James Perloff and others. Even the seemingly innocuous WordPress got into the action by removing Jay Dyer’s web site.

All these actions have prevented millions of people from getting the news and information they want: some of these channels have over a million subscribers each. Additionally, these actions have destroyed careers, businesses, incomes, and decades of work by content creators.

What is it they desire to censor? Anything the established power structure perceives as a threat. If you want to beat an idea, it seems to me the best way is with refutation and evidence, not propaganda and deletion. Censorship drives ideas underground and gives them credibility they may or may not deserve.

The tyrannical reasoning –if any is given– is a thinly-veiled, unfounded allegation of hate speech, the 17th letter of the English alphabet or other specious augments.

“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”
–unknown (sometimes mistakenly attributed to Voltaire)

With all the deception and false information being pushed by the established power structure, the responsibility of untangling this mess is up to you and me; which is where it should be anyway.

The quick and easy way is to trust authorities, but this is what got us into the mess we are in today. We must become self-sufficient or we become livestock to be herded by our masters.

If we intend to progress, we must develop tools to help us chart an accurate map of the topology before us– because without an accurate map, we are easy prey for the gangsters who lie in wait before us. Equally important is the path we have traveled; if you don’t know where you have been, how can you determine reasonably where you want to go?

There are many tools already available to make our travels much easier and safer. These include a healthy dose of skepticism especially when it comes to known liars like those listed above. Include with this list government agencies like the FBI and CIA and other known liars. There is absolutely no reason to trust a known liar, so become adept at collecting data points from many sources without accepting them as fact. Once you have collected data points, start your analysis to see correlations and make some connections. Putting events on a timeline is always helpful. Other tools include learning the Trivium and learning how to spot logical fallacies which are used abundantly by the MSM and others. Learn the top 24 or so, how to spot them and how to dismantle them. Takes some practice.

NOTE: Trivium (grammar, logic, and rhetoric) More on the Trivium can be found here: https://tragedyandhope.com/trivium/

Since the election of Trump, YouTube has been busy destroying the financial viability of many platforms using their services with which they disagree. All the myriad of actions have one thing in common, they reduce the money flow and eyeballs attracted by these independent platforms. This reduction in ad revenue reduces revenue not only to these independent content producers but to YouTube itself. Starting on December 10th of this year, YouTube’s new TOS will allow YouTube to completely delete any YouTube channel that it deems not financially viable. So what you have here is:

1) YouTube targeted a select set of independent content producers;
2) reduced their ability to generate income for both YouTube and the content producer;
3) and now they will be deleting these content producers because they are not financially viable.

Why would any business do something this boneheaded? Because they are not really a business in the normal sense of the word. They are a controlled adjunct of the US Federal Government’s deep state. Born of your tax dollars and used against the good US Citizens who paid the bill.

YouTube has been a subsidiary of Google since November of 2006 and of course Google was the result of a DARPA project with Stanford University in 1998.

Silencing Alex Jones

It has been reported Alex Jones was banned from all the major social media platforms within a 12 hour period. If true, this shows a potentially illegal collusion –dare I say conspiracy– between the big monopoly platforms to punish or mute Alex’s message. While I do not watch or listen to Alex, I have huge respect for this media icon that brought alternative views of history and current events to his audience for over 20 years to great effect. Alex blazed a new trail and motivated some of our best and brightest writers, commentators and podcasters to become involved in the ‘Great Conversation’ to all our benefit. Without Alex, many important voices would have been silenced into obscurity by the established, controlled media. Alex is a great American Icon and hero in my book.

This modern-day book burning is not all bad

The enemies of free thought, free speech and freedom of expression have completely revealed themselves for all to see today. There can be no doubt in any rational mind who these enemies are: Facebook, YouTube (Google), Apple and others.
This free publicity will drive more people to check out Alex Jones
This could setup a great lawsuit for some interesting discovery in this apparent illegal collusion between these behemoths to shut down free speech and to single out Alex Jones for punishment without cause.
Maybe through legal discovery we would finally know what these A-Holes mean by their catch-all phrase ‘community standards’. Not.
This could motivate Alex and others to band together with Mike Adams of Natural News REAL.Video to build out a robust alternative to YouTube.

I’ve always admired Alex Jones

He has –or had at one time– almost a photographic memory
He has read Quigley – rare in the Alt Media and always a bonus in my book
Busted into the Bohemian Grove and took a video
Is not afraid to confront some of the really bad actors on the world stage
Used a bullhorn at many of the Bilderberg meetings – what fun!
Was an early adopter of the continuous rebroadcast of his radio show on smart devices
Was an early adopter of simultaneous TV/Radio-cast
Is passionate about his work
Tries to be accurate in his reporting and is usually successful
Has a sense of historical context of current events – though I don’t always agree
He has some great guests on his program – sometimes

Three reasons I cannot stand to watch Alex Jones

He constantly interrupts his guests not allowing them to finish their thoughts or sentences;
Too many commercials! Infowars has become an infomercial; and
His pet announcer Owen Shroyer gets way too much air time and is a boring lightweight when it comes to understanding historical context or providing anything higher than a retail-level analysis. I guess he is just a kid and I’m being too harsh. I do wish Alex would sit Owen down and make him read a few books so he would know what he is talking about. I do like David Knight, and of course Paul Joseph Watson.

Bringing the Internet to Heel

It’s a documented, historical fact existing power structures control the dominant media and enlist the media’s help to shape public opinion. They paint landscapes and narratives in the minds of the masses; and create ‘well-established facts’ by consensus which may or may not be true; masking agendas of these same power structures. If you can’t accept this simple fact, you just don’t know your history, and this web site can help with that if you are interested.

So, for a few centuries, the American oligarchy created false narratives and false histories that do not hold up under dispassionate, critical analysis based on original sourced documents. If you received your education from one of the American public school systems, universities, or the news and entertainment media, what you think you know is just not true.

The truth of these matters can be difficult to determine if you are not equipped with the tools for the job. Firstly, it is important to recognize unexamined assumptions; and secondly, is important to be able to recognize common logical fallacies that trick most of us most of the time; if your assumptions are wrong, all logic that flows henceforth is suspect, even if your logic is perfect. A thorough examination of your unexamined assumptions can be scary, because you may be required to ‘gore your own ox’ in the pursuit of truth; this can be upsetting for many, and perhaps not worth destroying ingrained, cherished belief systems.

Our oligarchy first finessed control of the print media, then the radio and television and of course Hollywood; but with the advent of the internet, little truth-rays of light have been able to escape the otherwise well-controlled media. The oligarchy is very upset about this, so you can expect major moves to bring the internet under their control. They are just now working this out, but have made great progress recently with major internet players like Google, YouTube, and Facebook. To give the appearance of objectivity, the ‘ministry of truth and all goodness’ has elicited the help of Snopes, PolitiFact and others as the ‘final arbiters of truth’, just in case there was a question amongst the masses. This is not to say everything from Google, YouTube, Facebook, Snopes or PolitiFact is false, because it is not. Most of what is printed or filtered for consumption contains the required measure of truth to make it plausible if not entirely believable. The problem arises with the unexamined assumptions and the logical fallacies mentioned above.

The CIA, the NSA and Google

Well, folks here are two articles to really sink your teeth into. I know I will. There appears to be a ton of new data that is well-researched. The first article is Part 1 of 2 and is jammed-packed with new details I have never seen before about ‘The Highlands Group’ now named the ‘The Highlands Forum’ presumably for legal reasons: to side step the requirements under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). After reading Quigley’s ‘Anglo-American Establishment’, I have been keen to find the remnants of the Milner Group’s intellectual and operational offspring and more importantly the current control structure. There may be a few breadcrumbs here and maybe a loaf of bread or two. In any event, after careful study, I’ll be trying to nit these pieces together perhaps in a future article or video. In the meantime enjoy these two pieces from Nafeez Ahmed…

INSURGE INTELLIGENCE, a new crowd-funded investigative journalism project, breaks the exclusive story of how the United States intelligence community funded, nurtured and incubated Google as part of a drive to dominate the world through control of information. Seed-funded by the NSA and CIA, Google was merely the first among a plethora of private sector start-ups co-opted by US intelligence to retain ‘information superiority.’

The origins of this ingenious strategy trace back to a secret Pentagon-sponsored group, that for the last two decades has functioned as a bridge between the US government and elites across the business, industry, finance, corporate, and media sectors. The group has allowed some of the most powerful special interests in corporate America to systematically circumvent democratic accountability and the rule of law to influence government policies, as well as public opinion in the US and around the world. The results have been catastrophic: NSA mass surveillance, a permanent state of global war, and a new initiative to transform the US military into Skynet.

Update…

Google’s true origin partly lies in CIA and NSA research grants for mass surveillance by Jeff Nesbit | December 8, 2017

Jeff Nesbit is the executive director of Climate Nexus, a non-profit communications organization that works on climate and clean energy issues and solutions. He was the director of legislative and public affairs at the National Science Foundation during the Bush and Obama administrations. He was also former vice president Dan Quayle’s communications director at the White House, and former FDA Commissioner David Kessler’s public affairs chief at the Food and Drug Administration. He was a national journalist with Knight-Ridder newspapers and others, and currently writes opinion pieces for The New York Times, Time, and US News & World Report. He’s written multiple books and novels. His next book is THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS with Thomas Dunne Books, an imprint of St. Martin’s Press. It will be available in 2018.
