Propaganda Don't Come Cheap

The wheels of injustice grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine.

And, as Doug Valentine points out, the laws and bureaucracy must be set up to facilitate widespread repression, for it to be effective.
It works the same with the information control apparatus.

In 2013, Obama signed a repeal of the Smith Mundt Act, which outlawed US government propaganda being directed at Americans, but it wasn't until 2017 that he signed the bill providing funding.

Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck, and know the reality of lack of funds limiting our activities.
Weirdly enough, though, most people never apply that to the activities of those we are taught to fear. 

How does ISIS get never-ending supplies of weapons and ammo, how do domestic shooters afford automatic weapons and ammo when they are living in their mother's basement, how do terrorists afford traveling the world?

But I digress. The propaganda machinery was funded in the 2017 budget, and we can all see the results today. It takes money and it takes personnel to put out the onslaught of nonsense with which we are inundated. That doesn't come cheap.

And the attack on RT is part of the attempt by our overlords to limit our access to conflicting information. (Conflicting with the stories they tell us).

Bad Demagogues and Good Demagogues

We were told that Alex Jones was at fault, for continually spewing stupid conspiracy theories about organized child sex trafficking rings, thus causing a man to go into Comet Pizza and shoot up a computer. Therefore, Jones lost his access to social media.

Who got the man in Spokane so worked up about immigrants in custody that he went to try to firebomb an immigration center in Tacoma? Shouldn't they be held responsible for his actions?

I look forward to seeing CCN blamed for the attempted firebombing

Social media, Epstein and the Missing Trillions

• I have thought for a long time now that Facebook and Twitter are basically extremely large focus groups, for our overlords to test, in real time, how well their propaganda is selling, allowing them to tweak it immediately, if not polling well.

  I have never thought that Mark makes his billions from selling ads. That just doesn't add up.  What he sells is not ad space, but access to a 2 billion person focus group.  Who is buying it?   Not just corporations, I'm guessing.
  

  
  

  
  

  And  Epstein is funding ''science''? With what money???
  A guy who is never seen working is a freaking billionaire, and not only spends money on mansions, private jets, his own island and 100s of teenaged girls, he also funds scientific investigations into how people think, and how to influence large populations?

  • 
    
• So, there is $20 trillion missing from the Pentagon in the last couple of decades. There is widespread speculation about where that money has gone. Catherine Fitts speculates that they are financing outer space colonies.

  
  

  But what if they are actually financing ''inner space'' colonization?

  
  What if that $20 trillion is going to investigate, to the cellular level, how our brains and minds work?
  

  What if Epstein, who is a college dropout, but funds multiple scientific research projects, is actually some incredibly efficient organizer of projects?

  
  

  What if his multiple cameras were not for blackmail, but for research on sexual kinks and vulnerabilities?
  And this whole ''you will change your perception of reality and your language, if your rulers tell you to do so'' trans agenda is actually a population-wide mind control experiment, not an exercise in liberation.

  Interestingly enough, they are going after Epstein now, and also just gave Facebook a $5 billion fine for "privacy violations."  Why now?  

  I guess we'll watch it play out.
