Media Control and Public Manipulation

And that means you can't rely on the media as it is today either.

Oh, of course not. All the media in this country, radio,

television, and print,

is all owned by five corporations.

All of these corporations that own the media

are owned and controlled, and members of the Council on Foreign

Relations sit on

their board of directors. But you can trace that yourself.

Okay.

Remember, if you go down and you trace the ownership of a station

or a newspaper

and you get to a corporation, remember that somebody owns

that corporation, and

it's usually another corporation.

But when you, when you trace the interlocking of all

these things, when you get to

the top, there's five.

And all journalists know that there's some things you don't write

about and you don't talk about because you'll lose

your job, and that's where the control is.

And that's why they pay anchormen like Dan Rather $2 million a year,

because he doesn't question them.

He knows that if he goes against them, he's gonna lose $2 million a year.

Do you think a man that looks pretty and s- sits in front of a TV camera

for the 6:00 news is worth $2 million a year?

No way. I don't care how long he works, and I don't care what he does,

there is no job worth $2 million a year.

That's why they pay athletes these fantastic salaries.

I was listening to the radio the other day.

They just contracted to pay one, one player on one team $6

million

a year.

Can you believe this?

And why is that?

It's the Roman circus.

What does the emperor do

when the people become restive, and when the people are asking questions, and

when the people don't like the policies of the emperor?

He sends them to the circus. He creates a circus.

He builds a giant coliseum, and he begins to throw the Christians

to the lions, and he has great chariot races and

football games and basketball games, all to

keep the idiots preoccupied with things that don't

mean anything in the scheme of the entire world,

so that they don't have the time to learn what the truth is, so they don't ever get

smart enough to learn how they're being manipulated,

so they don't ever question the emperor.

That's why they pay

a player on a football team or a baseball team

a million or $2 million or $3 million a year.

It is the Roman circus.

I know men who don't know anything in the world except who plays

third base for the Mets, and they think that's a great

accomplishment,

and they meet and pat each other on the back and bond and go have cocktails

and talk about what this guy that plays third base for the Mets did

in last night's game.

It's sad.

It's really sad.

Is there any room in, in, uh,

in a kind of society where these manipulations are not taking place

for this type of entertainment or any type of entertainment at all?

If people understand that a game is a game,

if people understand that nobody, nobody, no matter what they do,

is worth paying $2 or $3 million a year for.

People should be able to get rich if they want to-

Mm-hmm

... by the sweat of their individual labor,

okay?

By going out and doing something for the world.

Mm-hmm.

Not by taking people's minds away from the emperor.

It's a game. Football is a game.

Football is a game.

But let me tell you something. When 150 of the

most powerful men and women in the world can meet in secret

in

Baden-Baden, Germany, and plot the fate of billions,

and nobody even cares about it,

but six football players go to lunch together, and it's in the headlines

across the country,

you have a reflection of the society in which that exists,

and it is a sick,

sick society that is doomed to self-destruction.

So based on that scenario, there's some truth into what these,

these men are

looking at.

Absolutely, and that's what makes me so sick, is

that I'm trying to wake up a

people who on a daily basis are proving

the ones that I'm warning them about to be right.

Mm-hmm.

Well, e- so that even though a minority, there are people out there that you

recognize are awake to this, if they don't do something about it,

they will lose that ability to be free in that way.

That's correct.

Whether they might think, "Well, I don't need to worry about it because I

know what

I know, and I'm fine."

That's good.

It doesn't work that way.

Yeah.

There's a connection here to everything.

That is correct.

That is absolutely correct.

A nation of people who are willing to send

their sons and daughters that they profess that they love

to a foreign country to die,

and they use the excuse to themselves that they're sending them off to defend

our

country, and they know damn well that's a lie,

are doomed.
