COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

Who Controls The US Media and The US Congress?

  • Who wouldn't be obsessed with Israel ?

    After all, they control the US Congress and the banks.

    I'm focused on Trey Gowdy now, though.

  • These 6 Corporations Control 90% Of The Media In America

    This infographic created by Jason at Frugal Dad shows that almost all media comes from the same six sources.

    That’s consolidated from 50 companies back in 1983. 

    NOTE: This infographic is from last year and is missing some key transactions. GE does not own NBC (or Comcast or any media) anymore. So that 6th company is now Comcast. And Time Warner doesn’t own AOL, so Huffington Post isn't affiliated with them.

    But the fact that a few companies own everything demonstrates "the illusion of choice," Frugal Dad says. While some big sites, like Digg and Reddit aren't owned by any of the corporations, Time Warner owns news sites read by millions of Americans every year.
    Here's the graphic:

        Once again you seek to deflect the coming reality of what Trump and the Leave the EU means...

        The EU, great supporters of the terrorists that control the arabs of Gaza and Judea and Samaria (non-Israeli that is) are running out of cash and ordinary Europeans and others are tired of their money being funneled to the PA or Hamas to pay salaries of terrorists sitting in Israel jails with blood on their hands. You mentioned that Brexit would be harmful to Israel a few threads back, just the opposite.

        Once again the oppressed people of the Gaza Strip and the PA controlled lands of Judea and Samaria understand that the true enemy of freedom is NOT Israel but Abbas and the PA (fatah), Hamas, Assad and more...

      At a time when the Pentagon is busy demanding more money from Congress, eliminating the word 'man' from designations of job titles, and allowing out of control spending on programs like the F-35, they still have found time for this...


      Pentagon Demands Years of Hazard Duty Pay to Bomb Squads Be Returned


      In January 2015, members of the Pentagon’s bomb squad got some financially devastating news: They had been overpaid for years, the Defense Department informed them, and the government wanted the money back — all of it.

      For some bomb technicians, that meant they had suddenly accrued debts of up to $173,000. And going forward, defense officials also told them, their annual pay would be cut by 25 percent. All because of what the government described as a clerical error that the Pentagon bureaucracy itself — not the bomb squad members — had made.

      The decision has caused chaos in the unit, with some opting to leave and others expressing exasperation that they never would have taken the job had they known what was coming. More than a year later, the cases of none of the nine employees involved has been fully resolved as they wade through a Pentagon appeals process.

      “When they tell you that they’re going to stop part of your pay, that’s tough,” said a bomb squad member, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of fear of retaliation. “But when they tell you ‘We want it back,’ It’s like ‘What?!” I think that’s what upset so many people. If I knew I was going to be in this mess … I never would have joined...”



      The article goes on to discuss suicides and dislocations associated with this case.

    5. How did six corporations get absolute control of US Media?

      Bill Clinton signed the 1996 Telecommunications Act into law at the Library of Congress.

      Designed to de-regulate aspects of the telecommunications business, it was the first overhaul of the law that created the Federal Communications Commission in more than six decades.

      Supporters of the law said it would create more competition in the telecommunications industry that, at the time, was only beginning to grapple with the transformative power of the Internet.

      “It promotes competition as the key to opening new markets and new opportunities,” Clinton said at the bill signing. “It will help connect every classroom in America to the information superhighway by the end of the decade. It will protect consumers by regulating the remaining monopolies for a time and by providing a roadmap for deregulation in the future.”

      Among other things, the bill brought deregulation to the cable industry and lifted the national cap on radio station ownership. It also eased the rules that apply to broadcasters.

      1. The Neocons know the formula with the Clinton’s.

        Delete
      2. The original neocons were a small group of mostly Jewish liberal intellectuals who, in the 1960s and 70s, grew disenchanted with what they saw as the American left’s social excesses and reluctance to spend adequately on defense. Many of these neocons worked in the 1970s for Democratic Senator Henry “Scoop” Jackson, a staunch anti-communist. By the 1980s, most neocons had become Republicans, finding in President Ronald Reagan an avenue for their aggressive approach of confronting the Soviet Union with bold rhetoric and steep hikes in military spending. After the Soviet Union’s fall, the neocons decried what they saw as American complacency. In the 1990s, they warned of the dangers of reducing both America’s defense spending and its role in the world.

        So when Deuce doesn't want to use the term "jews" he uses "neocons", "Israeli firsters" or zionsist...

    6. You can do your own search on who are the CEO’s of the media companies. Hint they are not Southern Baptists or Roman Catholics.


      "Today, seven Jewish Americans run the vast majority of US television networks, the printed press, the Hollywood movie industry, the book publishing industry, and the recording industry. Most of these industries are bundled into huge media conglomerates run by the following seven individuals:

      Gerald Levin, CEO and Director of AOL Time Warner

      Michael Eisner, Chairman and CEO of the Walt Disney Company

      Edgar Bronfman, Sr., Chairman of Seagram Company Ltd

      Edgar Bronfman, Jr, President and CEO of Seagram Company Ltd and head of Universal Studios

      Sumner Redstone, Chairman and CEO of Viacom, Inc

      Dennis Dammerman, Vice Chairman of General Electric

      Peter Chernin, President and Co-COO of News Corporation Limited

      Those seven Jewish men collectively control ABC, NBC, CBS, the Turner Broadcasting System, CNN, MTV, Universal Studios, MCA Records, Geffen Records, DGC Records, GRP Records, Rising Tide Records, Curb/Universal Records, and Interscope Records.

      Most of the larger independent newspapers are owned by Jewish interests as well. An example is media mogul is Samuel I. "Si" Newhouse, who owns two dozen daily newspapers from Staten Island to Oregon, plus the Sunday supplement Parade; the Conde Nast collection of magazines, including Vogue, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Allure, GQ, and Self; the publishing firms of Random House, Knopf, Crown, and Ballantine, among other imprints; and cable franchises with over one million subscribers."

      I could add that Michael Eisner could depart Disney tomorrow but the company will remain in the hands of Shamrock Holdings, whose principal office is now located in Israel".

      7. Does any other US citizen have dual nationality because of their ethnicity ? Which country? The practice permanently imbeds a conflict of loyalty dilemma for the dual nationals. How could it not? Israel practices the policy in two different directions, one by the awarding of dual nationality and discrimination on an apartheid basis to non-Jews in Israel.

        The distinction between Jews and none others is an insult to the United States. It is an implicit and explicit suggestion that Jews are not safe in the US and will not be protected by US laws as is any other citizen. It says, if the US government fails to protect, Israel gives them an insurance policy and will take them in.

        Jonathon Pollard is an extreme example of a convicted felon, who did great harm to US security is welcome in Israel under an Israeli passport.

      1. Well I move more healthy support of Israel.

        Move the embassy to Jerusalem

        Cut off all money to the PA that is given to terrorists in jail.

        Cut off UNRWA funding.

        Cut off all non-medical and food aid to the Palestinians until all incitement is removed from the schools and the PA's news media.

        Cut off all funds to Hamas in Gaza.

        That would be a good 1st step in making the Israel/America relationship "healthy"

    18. The Istanbul bombing sounds like Hamas.

      After all Turkey is renewing normal relations with Israel and has just stopped Hamas from launching ATTACKS against Israel from their lands.

      Also Turkey today announced that hamas would not be allowed to support the moslem brotherhood any longer from her shores..

      5. I have the answer to that.

        He's never been quite his old jolly self since he returned from Damanhur, where his brains got fried out a bit.



        Quirk was a member of this group, in fact claimed to be the engineering supervisor of the project, and painted some of the murals himself. This was in what he called his 'secret time' aka his 'DSL' time, as he also referred to it, before he rejoined society at large, and began contributing to The Elephant Bar.

        ***************


        Inside the Nine-Room Temple Buried Beneath the Italian Alps

        Exploring Damanhur's Temples of Humankind

        In 1978, the followers of Oberto Airaudi, founder of a cult-like group the Federation of Damanhur, began secretly digging at the foothills of the Italian Alps. When police raided the site in 1991, they were stunned to find a series of underground chambers ornately decorated with psychedelic new-age paintings. The nine rooms, some with 25-foot-high ceilings, were built over a 15-year period with the help 150 people, none of whom had architectural experience.

        After Airaudi failed to cooperate with local authorities in navigating the underground structure, the local prosecutor threatened to demolish the structure only to be persuaded later to allow the followers of Damanhur to continue construction. Today, the Temples of Damanhur has five floors and reaches 100 feet below the surface at its deepest point. Located about 30 miles north of Turin, it has become a tourist attraction and is often referred to as “the 8th wonder of the world.” Take a short visual tour of the temples below and then watch a video on Damanhur at the bottom to learn more.

      1. .

        Who won on the Israel/Turkey deal is in the eye of the beholder.

        If you look at the Israeli papers they are all over the map on the subject. Turkey won. Israel won. Hamas won.

        From what I can see, it appears the major advantage of the deal for both Israel and Turkey is the restart of trade between the two countries. I haven't seen anything as to whether military cooperation between to two will be started.

        On key issues, Israel held firm in refusing the Turkish demand that the Gaza blockade be dropped. Also, Hamas will be prevented from launching any military operations from Turkish soil.

        For the Turks, Israel had previously apologized for the deaths on the Gaza flotilla and now with this deal agrees to pay $20 million in compensation and while they will still not be allowed to ship aid directly to Gaza, they will be allowed to ship the aid through Ashod in the WB. Also, has agreed to allow the rebuilding of a much needed hospital in Gaza as well as an energy generating facility and a new desalination plant as well as other facility improvements.

        As for Hamas, the JP yesterday printed an analysis that said Hamas was the winner for while they will be prevented from launching any military operations Turkey everything else remains the same. However...

        Israel apparently has agreed to the presence of Hamas in Turkey as long as it does not involve itself directly in terrorist attacks against Israel, but limits itself to political and other supposedly nonviolent activity.

        However, the sanction of the presence and “political” activity of Hamas in a country with diplomatic ties with Israel undermines years of Israeli public relations against the terrorist group, which sought to identify Hamas with other Sunni groups such as al-Qaida and Islamic State.

    20. Does any other US citizen have dual nationality because of their ethnicity ? Which country? The practice permanently imbeds a conflict of loyalty dilemma for the dual nationals. How could it not? Israel practices the policy in two different directions, one by the awarding of dual nationality and discrimination on an apartheid basis to non-Jews in Israel.

      The distinction between Jews and none others is an insult to the United States. It is an implicit and explicit suggestion that Jews are not safe in the US and will not be protected by US laws as is any other citizen. It says, if the US government fails to protect, Israel gives them an insurance policy and will take them in.

      Jonathon Pollard is an extreme example of a convicted felon, who did great harm to US security and yet is welcome in Israel under an Israeli passport.

      Nonsense.

      Non-Jews are not "discriminated" against by the State in Israel.

      Once again you are shooting off your mouth to policies and facts you are not privy too...

      After all, you have NEVER been there.

      1. 10. In Israel, there are 1.6 million Arab citizens integrated within Israeli society.

        They make up 20 per cent of Israel's population. There was no such integration in South Africa. Furthermore, according to a poll done by Harvard University, 77 per cent of Arab citizens living in Israel would rather live there than any other country in the world. If these citizens were experiencing "apartheid," why are so many of them supportive of Israel?

        To proclaim that Israel is an "apartheid state" is to undermine and trivialize the harsh and actual struggles many blacks went through during that dark time of human history. These are the words of many South Africans who would also concur that Israel is not an "apartheid" state.

        Arabs have the right to move freely, vote, obtain an education, work in prominent positions, receive world-class health care, own land and speak freely. Blacks in South Africa had none of these rights.

        Regardless of the unfounded criticisms, Israel will still strive in the face of growing adversity. Those who seek to delegitimize, malign and deprecate Israel have lost their moral compass.

        While those who are able to discern the truth for themselves, are able to recognize the fact that Israel is a beacon of freedom and democracy in the Middle East.

      2. 11) Arabs can participate fully in the political process. They have equal voting rights. Coloured people during apartheid were not allowed to participate in the political process.

        12) Israeli Arabs have their own political parties in the Knesset – some of whom are Israel’s harshest critics. The Joint List is an example of this. They received 13 seats in the 2015 Israeli election. This is a testament to Israel’s vibrant democracy. Non-white South Africans were often tortured or killed for small political actions like peaceful protests.

    24. The attacks have increased in scale and frequency, scaring off tourists and hurting the economy, which relies heavily on tourism revenues.

      Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport was the 11th busiest airport in the world last year, with 61.8 million passengers, according to Airports Council International. It is also one of the fastest-growing airports in the world, seeing 9.2 percent more passengers last year than in 2014.

      The largest carrier at the airport is Turkish Airlines, which operates a major hub there. Low-cost Turkish carrier Onur Air is the second-largest airline there.

    26. Spokesman Brian Fallon said in a statement the report has “not found anything to contradict the conclusions of the multiple, earlier investigations.”

      He said that’s evidence the panel’s main goal was to politicize the four deaths “in order to try to attack the Obama administration and hurt Hillary Clinton’s campaign.”

      Fallon said the way in which the committee released the report shows the GOP members of the committee “are clearly seeking to avoid any fact-checking of their discredited conspiracy theories.”
