How Did the Corporate Media Miss the Epstein Story? The Same Reason They Miss Every Big Inconvenient Story

The recent Epstein document drop proves that we know only 1% of what is really going on in DC. I'm posting another tiny bit of evidence below. I could have posted hundreds of other items, but this one popped up today. We are subjected to hundreds of carefully designed nudges and psyops every day.

We can safely predict that almost none of these high-profile Epstein criminals will be prosecuted, whether they are democrats or republicans. And the corporate media will help most of them patch up their reputations when this blows over. You see, rich and powerful American people live under an entirely different set of laws than you and me.

What more do you need to convince you that we, the citizens of the US, are being systematically mis-informed? How about the many major conspiracy theories that have been proven true? How about the fact that your government and your "news media" got virtually everything wrong about COVID? That years-long comically false COVID reporting was not accidental. The journalists didn't simply get unlucky. They got everything wrong by refusing to do basic journalism in the middle of COVID. They don't care about getting the facts right because the job of the corporate media is primarily not to tell us what's going on. Unless they absolutely have to, which is when they temporarily become limited hangouts. Corporate Journalism is designed to convince us that we know what we don't really know, that we should give homage to every newly concocted false-consensus and that we should not question authority figures and "experts."

There is no way that the thousands of stories of Epstein stories of perversion and corruption were accidentally missed by the corporate media for more than ten years. This is more proof that the federal government is not YOUR government, as you were taught in grade school. In this world, your job as a citizen is to fall in line and obey. That includes supporting every new war. And most people will happily obey because because they can't stand being criticized, even when they are right. They would rather be liked than assert their rights and duties as citizens. Nothing will change because owners of this country (as George Carlin described them) own all of the sense-making institutions, and this increasingly includes the entire Internet.

We understandably love many things about the Internet, but powerful people see it primarily as a means to control our minds, because they have an unquenchable thirst for power and they don't give a shit about personal autonomy (or anything else in the Constitution). The EU's government-financed propaganda-censorship tidal wave is about to hit the US, which will bring back Biden-era internet censorship/propaganda with a vengeance. The silver lining for the sheep is that this will likely solve the problem of dissidents like me asking obvious questions that annoy many people. Congratulations. You are living in a double-feature: "The Truman Show" and "The Emperor's New Clothes."

Bill Gates, COVID, Epstein, Greed, Lying, Etc

No need for a lie detector on Bill  Gates.

"Abject Lie" is written on his forehead. Just dinner. "That's all." You might think my venom is due to his attempt to surreptitiously slip antibiotics to his wife after surreptitiously exposing her to venereal disease caused by his adventures with Jeffrey Epstein. No, that's merely the tip of the iceberg.

Sayer Ji lays it out. Go to Sayer Ji's article, "BREAKING: The Epstein Files Illuminate a 20-Year Architecture Behind Pandemics as a Business Model—With Bill Gates at the Center of the Network: Inside the JPMorgan–Gates–Epstein Pipeline: Donor-Advised Funds, Vaccine Finance, and the Architecture of Pre-Positioned Profit."

We thought we have been electing the people who govern us, but George Carlin was so very correct when he said: "They own you," and he was speaking of the "Big Club," people like Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein, people we did NOT elect and whom we would never have elected. Yet this is just one example (out of millions) of what corrupt people can do to mold a 'democracy" in their own image and likeness.  Eric Weinstein reacts:

What Else Isn’t True?

What else did we think we knew for decades that now turns out to be bullshit? The the most important lessons we are being taught over the past five years are A) the inextricably fraught relationship between knowledge and power and B) the critical need to be courageous and skeptical whenever we try to make sense of the things of the world in order to swat away the oftentimes insidious power of tribalism.

Steven Pinker:

Bombshell: Oliver Sacks (a humane man & a fine essayist) made up many of the details in his famous case studies, deluding neuroscientists, psychologists, & general readers for decades. The man who mistook his wife for a hat? The autistic twins who generated multi-digit prime numbers? The institutionalized, paralyzed man who tapped out allusions to Rilke? Made up to embellish the stories. Probably also: the aphasic patients who detected lies better than neurologically intact people, including Ronald Reagan's insincerity.

Barack Obama Openly Advocates for Censorship by the Elites to Help the Unwashed Masses

Obama is clearly advocating the need for censorship in this video:

Part of what we’re going to have to do is to start experimenting with new forms of journalism and how we use social media in ways that reaffirm facts and separate facts from opinion. We want diversity of opinion. We don’t want diversity of facts. That, I think, is one of the big tasks of social media. By the way, it will require some government regulatory constraints…

I'll paraphrase: "We," (the pre-ordained elites) will be in charge of what you can say and hear. We're helping you and you need our help because you're too dumb to think for yourself. You'll love it!

This is no one-off for Obama. Despite being a former professor of law, who taught constitutional law, Obama considers himself one of the elite leaders of the censorship industrial complex.  Consider this brand new article by Michael Shellenberger: "Obama-Linked Stanford Center Held Secret Meeting With Foreign Governments To Plot Global Internet Censorship: Top EU, UK, Brazil, and Australian officials met in September with US censorship advocates to combine and coordinate efforts." Excerpt:

In the spring of 2022, former President Barack Obama gave a major policy address at Stanford University’s Cyber Policy Center, where he laid out a sweeping proposal for government censorship of social media platforms through the Platform Accountability and Transparency Act. Six days later, President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security announced that it had created a “Disinformation Governance Board” to serve as an Orwellian Ministry of Truth with the clear goal of controlling the information Americans could access online.

At the heart of Obama’s vision for Internet censorship was legislation that would have authorized the US government’s National Science Foundation to authorize and fund supposedly independent NGOs to censor the Internet. The DHS and Stanford Internet Observatory, which was part of the Stanford Cyber Policy Center, pioneered this censorship-by-proxy strategy as a way to get around the First Amendment in 2020 with posts raising concerns about the 2020 elections and in 2021 with “narratives” expressing concern about the Covid vaccine.

The 2024 election of President Donald Trump significantly reduced the threat of Obama, DHS, and NSF censoring the American people. Trump defunded much of the Censorship Industrial Complex. The Platform Accountability Act is going nowhere in Congress.

To be fair, Trump is no saint on free speech. As FIRE's Will Creely testified recently, Trump has been bludgeoning numerous entities to curtail free speech:

To be sure, the government may speak for itself, and the public has an interest in hearing from it. But it may not wield that power to censor. As Judge Richard Posner put it: The government is “entitled to what it wants to say — but only within limits.” Under no circumstances may our public servants “employ threats to squelch the free speech of private citizens.”

So the law is clear: Government actors cannot silence a speaker by threatening “we can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way,” as the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission did last month. Nevertheless, recent examples of jawboning abound: against private broadcasters, private universities, private social media platforms, and more. The First Amendment does not abide mob tactics.

Democrats, however, are more on board with Obama's approach to censorship than republicans:

Mike Benz Describes the Challenges of Dismantling Joe Biden’s Censorship-Industrial Complex

Because they cling to corporate media as their main source of “the news,” many of the most vocal people online don’t realize that the Biden Administration poured billions of tax dollars into censoring and propagandizing Americans. Nor do they know the details. This secret operation was so vast and so ghastly that the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals concluded:

[T]he Supreme Court has rarely been faced with a coordinated campaign of this magnitude orchestrated by federal officials that jeopardized a fundamental aspect of American life. Therefore, the district court was correct in its assessment—“unrelenting pressure” from certain government officials likely “had the intended result of suppressing millions of protected free speech postings by American citizens.” We see no error or abuse of discretion in that finding.

Who were the recipients of this tax money? Answer: Numerous government agencies, including DHS and USAID (and many others), who funneled the money out to dozens and dozens of NGO and non-profits with disarmingly patriotic names (e.g., Global Engagement Center and the National Science Foundation) who did the dirty work, often in close coordination with prestigious American universities. They worked in tandem with each other and with the CIA, which continued to make good use of all of its favorite Project Mockingbird techniques to convince you to be someone else. Many of the doubters don’t know CIA history. They don’t know that the CIA has topple dozens of governments Or they assume that the CIA used to be bad but they somehow got to be the good guys when after they displayed animus against Trump.

This censorship-industrial complex (also sometimes referred to as “the Blob”) has convinced you that you were well-informed and that you were thinking your own thoughts. They made sure you only heard one version of every story so that you voted only for the “correct” candidate. They were so good at their jobs that you believed that virus particles couldn’t pour through cloth masks. They made sure that you slurped up every government-approved position and that you deep-down hated those who disagreed with you, including your friends and family members.
