The Falsification of History: Our Distorted Reality

by John Hamer

  In his classic work, ‘Influence: The Art of Persuasion’, Robert Cialdini describes how salesmen are now trained using basic sales techniques, to adroitly use social-conditioning and norms to elicit favourable responses. Cialdini, a social psychologist, notes that even though he is fully aware of these techniques, he is nevertheless unable to personally resist them. How simple then to use these very same techniques upon an entire, unsuspecting populace?

  A major element of media manipulation is through the power of multi-national corporations. The media will never dare to report anything too negative about for example, banking, financial services, large corporations or government departments/individuals lest they lose access to the source of their information. This principle may also be applied to advertising revenues, which may well receive a fatal blow if the corporation/government in question decides to retaliate in return for unfavourable coverage. In many cases it may also be true that the media company has some deep-rooted connection to the corporation, if the pyramids are followed to the very top. The private sector has indeed learned the often effective lesson that the threat of freezing-out a reporter is an extremely powerful weapon in retaining control of its own versions of the ‘truth’. This may well be the sorry state of affairs that one associates with communist/fascist dictatorships and banana republics from the twentieth century, but needless to say perhaps, unfortunately this has been the situation afflicting our society for many years now. Elite Corporate and governmental interests are now firmly in control of ‘the message’, whatever that may turn out to be.

  So with what does this leave us? A mainstream media that predominantly bases its stories on what it is spoon-fed by third parties, because it has no choice in the matter. Ever-leaner staffing, compressed news cycles and access journalism all conspire to drive reporters to focus on the big stories of the day and which are to a large degree influenced by the parties that initiate the story in the first instance. This is all also similar to the effect achieved when reporters are seconded to military units on the ‘front line’ where they will naturally adopt the views of the people with whom they associate frequently and this only serves to help confirm that the media has fallen under the tight control of powerful interests.

  “The Media, which is almost exclusively owned by a tiny number of individuals who are loyal to the aims of the royal-political elite, promote the idea that via debate and elections, the People have some influence over the royal political elite. The media reinforces a view that the government exists in order to take on the responsibility of serving and protecting the People. The People have been sold the idea that because they have a government, then the responsibility of caring for their nation is being taken care of by the government. The People do not realise that by allowing a government of usually, wealthy individuals who play the role of politicians, to run a government 'for' the People, that this encumbers the People with a greater responsibility and that is to carefully scrutinise and monitor the activities of the government.” Chris Everard, geopolitical researcher, author and film producer

  The largest media conglomerate today is the Walt Disney Company Inc., whose chairman and CEO, Michael Eisner, is Jewish in line with the vast majority of the rest of the owners of the mainstream media and entertainment industry. There is of course nothing wrong per se with Jewish people owning media organisations, but when an entire industry is owned almost 100% by one group, representing a tiny minority of the overall population (less than 1%) then this should naturally lead to questions of impartiality regarding the overall message that we are being ‘fed’ 24/7. But of course it does not, as even that prerogative is denied us by dint of the fact that those in control of ‘the message’ also control who becomes privy to that fact itself.

  The Disney Empire, headed by a man described by one media analyst as a ‘control freak’, includes several television production companies (Walt Disney Television, Touchstone Television, Buena Vista Television), its own cable network with 14 million subscribers and two video production companies. As for feature films, the Walt Disney Picture Group, headed by Joe Roth (also Jewish), includes Touchstone Pictures, Hollywood Pictures, and Caravan Pictures. Disney also owns Miramax Films, run by the Weinstein brothers (Jewish, too). When the Disney Company was run by the non-Jewish Disney family prior to its takeover by Eisner in 1984, it epitomised wholesome, family entertainment. While it still holds the rights to Snow White under Eisner, the company has now expanded into the production of works incorporating graphic sex and violence.

  In addition, it also has 225 affiliated stations in the United States and is part owner of several European TV companies. ABC's cable subsidiary, ESPN, is headed by president and CEO Steven Bornstein, a Jew and this corporation also has a controlling share of Lifetime Television and the Arts and Entertainment Network cable companies. ABC Radio Network owns eleven AM and ten FM stations, again in major cities such as New York, Washington, Los Angeles and has over 3,400 affiliates. Although primarily a telecommunications company, Capital Cities/ABC earned over $1 billion in publishing in 1994 and it owns seven daily newspapers, Fairchild Publications, Chilton Publications and the Diversified Publishing Group.

  Time Warner Inc., is the next largest of the international media giants. The chairman of the board and CEO, Gerald Levin, is also a Jew. Time Warner’s subsidiary HBO is the country’s largest pay-tv cable network. Warner Music is by far the largest record company in the world, with 50 labels, the biggest of which is Warner Brothers Records, headed by Danny Goldberg (Jewish). Stuart Hersch is president of Warnervision, Warner Music’s video production unit and of course Goldberg and Hersch are Jewish. Warner Music was an early promoter of ‘gangsta rap’ through its involvement with Interscope Records and it therefore helped popularise a musical genre whose graphic lyrics explicitly urge black people to commit acts of violence against white people. In addition to cable and music, Time Warner is heavily involved in the production of feature films (Warner Brothers Studio) and publishing. Time Warner's publishing division (editor-in-chief Norman Pearlstine, a Jew) is the largest magazine publisher in the USA (Time, Sports Illustrated, People, Fortune). When Ted Turner, a gentile (non-Jew) made a bid to buy CBS in 1985, there was panic in media boardrooms across the nation.

  Although Turner employed a number of Jews in key executive positions in CNN and had never taken public positions contrary to Jewish interests, he is a man with a large ego and a strong personality and was regarded by Chairman William Paley (real name Palinsky, a Jew) and the other Jews at CBS as uncontrollable; a loose cannon who might at some time in the future turn against them. Furthermore, Jewish newsman Daniel Schorr, who had worked for Turner, publicly charged that his former boss held a personal dislike for Jews. And so to block Turner’s bid, CBS executives invited billionaire Jewish theatre, hotel, insurance, and cigarette magnate Laurence Tisch to launch a ‘friendly’ takeover of the company and so from 1986 till 1995 Tisch was the chairman and CEO of CBS, removing any threat of non-Jewish influence there. Subsequent efforts by Turner to acquire a major network have been obstructed by Levin’s Time Warner, which owns nearly 20 percent of CBS stock and has the power of veto over major deals.

  Viacom Inc., run by Sumner Redstone (born Murray Rothstein) a Jew, is the third largest media corporation in the US, with revenues of over $10 billion a year. Viacom, which produces and distributes TV programmes for the three largest networks, owns 12 television stations and 12 radio stations. It produces feature films through Paramount Pictures, headed by Sherry Lansing (Jewish) and its publishing division includes Prentice Hall, Simon & Schuster, and Pocket Books. It distributes videos through over 4,000 Blockbuster stores. Viacom's chief claim to fame, however, is as the world's largest provider of cable programming, through its Showtime, MTV, Nickelodeon and other networks.

  The most well-known of the ‘smaller’ media companies, DreamWorks SKG, is also Jewish owned and run. It was formed in 1994 amid great media hype by recording industry mogul David Geffen, former Disney Pict
ures chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg and film director Steven Spielberg, all three of whom are Jewish. The company produces movies, animated films, television programmes, and recorded music.

  Two other large production companies, MCA and Universal Pictures, are both owned by Seagram Company Ltd. The president and CEO of Seagram, the brewing and distilling giant, is Edgar Bronfman Jr., who is also president of the World Jewish Congress. It is well known that Jews have controlled the production and distribution of films since the inception of the movie industry in the early decades of the 20th century. This, as can be witnessed in the previous paragraphs is still absolutely the case today. Films produced by just the five largest motion picture companies mentioned above; Disney, Warner Brothers, Sony, Paramount (Viacom), and Universal (Seagram) account for around 75% of the total box-office receipts for the entire industry.

  The same story applies to TV and radio too with the entire market being corned by four at most five large conglomerates – all under the jurisdiction of Jews, mainly of American–Israeli dual nationality. Is there anyone who does not believe that this is not a dangerous state of affairs? To have a situation where an entire industry is controlled by a tiny minority interest group, whose motives in many areas of society have been seen and proven time after time to be not in the best interests of the overwhelming majority, surely cannot be regarded as healthy? Indeed, given the nature of that industry with its powerful capabilities of undue influence, should it collectively wish to bring those capabilities to bear, as it most certainly does, is not only an unhealthy situation, but I believe it no exaggeration to state that it is downright dangerous in the extreme.

  After audio and visual news channels, daily newspapers are the most influential information medium in the western world. More than one quarter of a billion newspapers are sold each day in the US, South America and Europe alone. These millions are divided among some 4000 different publications. One might conclude that in the US, the sheer number of different newspapers would provide a safeguard against Jewish control and distortion. However, this is not the case as there is less independence, less competition, and much less representation of majority interests than a casual observer may give credit for. The days when most cities and even towns had several independently owned newspapers published by local people with close ties to the community are gone and unfortunately these days, most ‘local’ newspapers are owned by a much smaller number of large companies controlled by executives who live and work hundreds or even thousands of miles away. The fact is that only about 15 per cent of the country's 1,500 papers are independently owned; the rest belong to corporate chains. Only a few are large enough to maintain independent reporting staffs outside their own communities; the rest depend on these few for all of their national and international news.

  In the newspaper industry, it is advertising revenue and not the relatively small retail cost price of the newspaper that pays the salaries and yields the owner his profits. Whenever the large advertisers in a city choose to favour one newspaper over another with their business, the favoured paper will flourish while its competitor dies. Since the beginning of the 20th century, when Jewish mercantile power in America became a dominant economic force, there has been a inexorable rise in the number of newspapers entirely in Jewish ownership, accompanied by a steady decline in the number of competing non-Jewish-owned newspapers, primarily as a result of selective advertising policies by Jewish merchants. Furthermore, even those newspapers still under non-Jewish ownership and management are so thoroughly dependent upon Jewish advertising revenue that their editorial and news reporting policies are largely constrained by Jewish likes and dislikes. In the newspaper business as any other, the truth is that ‘he who pays the piper calls the tune’.

  The Wall Street Journal, which sells 1.8 million copies each weekday, is America’s largest-circulation daily newspaper. It is owned by Dow Jones & Company, Inc., a New York corporation which also publishes 24 other daily newspapers and the weekly financial tabloid Barron's. The chairman and CEO of Dow Jones is Peter Kann, who is Jewish. Kann also holds the posts of chairman and publisher of the Wall Street Journal. Indeed most of New York's other major newspapers are also entirely owned by Jews. The New York Daily News is owned by Jewish real-estate developer Mortimer B. Zuckerman and The Village Voice is the personal property of Leonard Stern, the billionaire Jewish owner of the Hartz Mountain pet supply firm.

  Three of the six largest book publishers in the U.S., according to Publisher's Weekly, are owned or controlled by Jews.

  The three are; in 1st place Random House (with its many subsidiaries, including Crown Publishing Group), 3rd place Simon & Schuster, and 6th place Time Warner Trade Group (including Warner Books and Little, Brown). Another publisher of special significance is Western Publishing and although it ranks only 13th in size among all US publishers, it ranks first among publishers of children's books, with more than 50% of the entire market. Western Publishing is entirely Jewish owned and run.

  I would urge you to check these facts for yourself and not simply take my word for it. The Internet is a very powerful tool so please do use it whilst we still can.

  The questions here should be how can such a system exist in a supposed democracy such as in which we are supposed to live and also how can a tiny minority group such as this be allowed to get away with having such a hugely disproportionate influence over us all? For the avoidance of doubt and to sidestep any possible accusations of ‘anti-Semitism’ here, I should point out that I have no personal issue with the Jewish people of the world; they have probably been exploited more than most down the years, but it is a very dangerous state of affairs indeed to allow one tiny, vociferous group to exert such absolute control over us all, be they Jewish, Muslim, fundamental Christian or indeed any other narrowly-defined interest.

  By permitting one tiny group to control our news and entertainment media, we are doing more than merely giving them a decisive influence on our political system and virtual control of our governments; we are also allowing them control of the minds and souls of our children, whose attitudes and ideas are shaped more by television and films than by their parents, their schools, or indeed any other influence.

  Controlling the media does not mean controlling every single journalist, far from it in fact. All that is necessary to achieve this objective is to set the parameters through which the mainstream media filters everything. For example, five to six hundred years ago and earlier, the consensus passed-down from the hierarchy was that the world is flat and therefore this became the de facto ‘truth’ and anything that contradicted that premise was not even tolerated, let alone up for discussion. You may think that the days when this would be allowed to happen are long-gone, but you would be wrong. Take by way of an example, those old friends, the theory of evolution, the big bang theory and even global warming. Because these ideas are so deeply enmeshed into the belief systems of those who wish to deceive and thereby control us, anything that challenges these theories (for that is simply all they are) is either ignored, deliberately destroyed or mocked in order to maintain the status quo. Indeed such is the entrenchment of these false premises within our historical model that everything else, newly discovered ‘facts’ and theories alike, must either be ruthlessly suppressed or at best be ‘bent’ in order to fit the currently accepted paradigm.

  Thus is it essential to maintain a media that conforms to these norms, these established ‘truisms’ and this is why the media themselves are wont to endlessly repeat these mantras in order to embed these falsehoods deep within our psyche and so when we hear challenges to these pre-conceived notions, we will experience a deep-seated urge to defend them unconditionally. Such is the programming to which we are subjected day after day, without any realisation of the fact that it is taking place at all. This is also true of the ‘foot-soldiers’ of the media, the TV reporters, the ‘street-level’ newspaper hacks and their ilk. All they do is repeat the ‘party line’ imbued in them by the society of which they a
re an integral part.

  In addition, so many of these people are products of the Elite propaganda machine, euphemistically known as ‘education’. The more education to which one has been subjected, the greater the resistance there will be to anything that contradicts its sacred edicts. It matters not whether these people are politically, right left or centre or even so-called radicals; they are all system-clones. They may well wish to change things politically and/or speak out against perceived injustices, but only strictly within the parameters of the system which they of course defend and support unconditionally and do not recognise as being a form of enslavement.

  Once one is aware of what goes on daily in the media world, it becomes easy to see that journalists of all colours habitually misrepresent what is happening in the world today. They are of course bound by and unduly influenced by the laid-down ‘norms’ of society and so everything reported has to be twisted to fit within this fake architecture that has been in place for millennia, albeit incrementally adjusted over time. Not one serious mainstream journalist ever publicly questioned the official 9/11 story for example, despite the fact that it has more holes than a colander. Why? Because the official explanation has become the de facto truth and therefore anything that causes ripples or serious undercurrents to flow in that direction must be false by definition. This is how the whole process works.

  In fact the official version of anything and everything is simply repeated ad nauseum by the media in all its forms and becomes the ‘truth’ by default even though the most cursory examination of the facts would reveal it all to be built on foundations of sand.
