The American Empire and its media
Recently, I wrote that under seemingly worthy goals of stopping the spread of socialism, then drugs, then terrorism, we seemingly invited ourselves into every world conflict. Were globalists covertly using these causes instead to build an American Empire? As a college professor teaching current events for over 40 years, I had to come to this conclusion.
Foreign policy seems to have moved from defense to offense. Now, no empire of yesteryear controls or influences more territory than we do. We call this “globalism,” where the United States becomes not only the world’s only superpower but also the world’s “real” government. Globalism requires a global military and a media silent on the matter. We now have both.
Today, Wikipedia documents U.S. troops deployed in “more than 150 countries” around the world with thousands of military personnel still in World War II countries 73 years later. Approximately a third of our troops serve outside the U.S. in places most Americans have never heard such as Aruba, Bahrain, Kenya, and Qatar. And we have approximately 800 military bases encircling the globe, all in the name of “our” national security.
Numerous books and hundreds of articles have identified the heart of the nearing 100-year globalist movement as having been centered on three private industrialist/high-finance dominated organizations. The most important of these was the Council on Foreign Relations (1921), to infiltrate both major political parties in the U.S. with globalist thinking; the Bilderbergers (1954), to influence and consolidate the interests of high finance and politics in Europe; and the Trilateral Commission (1973), to influence and consolidate the interests of high finance and politics in the three most powerful regions of the globe: North America, Europe, and Japan.
None of this could have happened without Big Media — once the government’s watchdog, now its lapdog — becoming accomplices to the New World Order movement. This too has been documented by hundreds of articles over the last many decades with the New York Times, the foremost print mouthpiece of the Council on Foreign Relations, or CFR, followed closely by the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times. This is nothing new as CFR members have dominated all major media for decades.
What is new for most is the 2010–11 release of 2,325,961 secret State Department cables by WikiLeaks confirming beyond question the above and more. In it, “the world saw what the USA really thought about national leaders, friendly dictators & supposed allies. It also discovered the dark truths of national policies, human rights violations, covert operations & cover-ups” (“The WikiLeaks Files: The World According to U.S. Empire” by Julian Assange).
Top secret has become, by and large, anything that the government does not want known — which in this case is its working for world dominion. So its immediate reaction was to vilify WikiLeaks, asking everyone to delete anything on the Internet from it. “Internet access to WikiLeaks was blocked by national libraries; major international studies journals rejected all manuscripts citing WikiLeaks material; and the Pentagon stopped all emails containing the organization’s name.” The definition of national security was enlarged to include concealing government globalist activities. Anyone willing to expose them were villainized, as is the case of WikiLeaks. Much of this had little to do with actual national security but rather with keeping the public from knowing of our government’s future conspiring toward world governance.
To counter the globalists’ censorship of this material and protect “the public’s right to know,” WikiLeaks “set up a Public Library of US Diplomacy (PlusD), containing the cables and other diplomatic records.” It also published a book, “The WikiLeaks Files,” to help sift through the over two million documents for easier assessment evaluation of the mountain of information. A chapter in this book by Sarah Harrison explains how to use it.
CFR members are in every federal position of importance and in every administration regardless of political party. With the exception of Presidents Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump, both presidential party nominees for decades have been affiliated. The CFR is our government. It is no longer a theory. The extent of its influence was expressed by John J. McCloy, a longtime chairman of the council and advisor to nine U.S. presidents who told the New York Times, “Whenever we needed a man we thumbed through the roll of the Council members and put through a call to New York.” The CFR headquarters is located in New York City.
With respect to the establishment media’s participation and considering Julian Assange’s treasure trove of documentation, it cannot be called anything less than a conspiracy. From this, the Swiss Propaganda Research organization assembled the latest 2017 graphical depiction of CFR/Trilateral Commission/Bilderberg Group membership in the “uppity” plan to give world dominance to them.
It documents 190 top U.S. journalists who are members of one or more of the globalist organizations identified. They exist in every major news outlet. They control your news — not only what you know but what you think about. They are the “Ruling Class Journalists.” If you are not already aware of their dominance, it is because your favorite journalists have not told you, and it is increasingly hard for this revelation to get into any news organization, which explains why Assange resorted to the State Department dump.
