So, we all read mainstream media, newspapers, news agencies even many of the so-called independent channels…. Do we?
Yes!
I was considering where to start. I decided to take you a little into the past. Then I’ll take you a bit further back. Finally, I’ll bring you into today.
Do you know who Ted Turner was?
Well, Robert Edward Turner was the FOUNDER of Cable News Network, then the first 24-hour cable news. Popularly CNN.
As a philanthropist, he gave one billion $ to create the United Nations Foundation…
He had a beautiful relationship with Jane Fonda. Whatever happened after…
He had a beautiful quote on his desk I saw while reading his interview at TIME.
EITHER LEAD, FOLLOW, OR GET OUT OF THE WAY
When he was “kindly requested” to sell or, as it was reported, merge the CNN with Time Warner, after some time, he resigned and left with us a serious, coming from his soul, following quote:
“I am going to stick with my billboard business that I am familiar with, and when I shake hands, it counts. All these assholes calling themselves news men got the best of me. As far as I am concerned, they can go to hell-every single one of those bad characters. They are nothing but prostitutes in a cat house. Don’t let your children go to a school of journalism.”
Message received? Will you or will you not “brush” yourself and continue daily business? (What is that? Read till the end, and you will find it!)
One John Swinton the chief editorial writer of The New York Times during the decade of the 1860s, left a quote with us. Since then, his quote has had many strings of doubt attached, but it is still here!
“There is no such thing, at this date of the world’s history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it.
There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone.
The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press?
We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.“
(Source: Labor’s Untold Story, by Richard O. Boyer and Herbert M. Morais, published by United Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers of America, NY, 1955/1979.)
Welcome to awaking! Or, if you do not want to, then keep sleeping. It might be better, as per legendary George Gurdjieff, the best thing humans should do is to sleep. When they wake up, when we wake up, he said, then the real troubles start!
Which brings us to today…
Today, we have the news from one Owen Jones
Well, this has not been reported anywhere in and around the Western media?
It has been shared with RT! Is that possible? Come on! They have been banned from so many places….
One wise man noticed that new and unfamiliar information is not readily accepted by our minds. It is not immediately acceptable to our mental state. In most cases, our highly developed and sensitive defense mechanism activates. It finds thousands of apparently “logical reasons” why we should follow the path of least resistance. We dispense with the new truth at the earliest possible moment.
Winston Churchill said: ” Most people sometimes in their lives stumble across the truth. Most jump up, brush themselves off, and hurry on about their business as if nothing happened.”
Will you brush yourself or you will not?
THAT IS THE QUESTION!
You came to the brush word, and that is the success… What will happen after is up to you only! Will you resist, grasp the truth, or will you continue sleeping?
