Enough of the “Oh, how shocking, I’m stunned!” Enough of the “It’s all the DNC’s fault, those liberals, those progressives, those Democrats fault, they’re the ones!

Enough already.

Grow up. Come out of the darkness. Out of your stupor. Out of your sea of delusion and illusion.

The United States of America has used propaganda to serve its purposes for decades. A long, long time.

It isn’t only a Soviet, Nazi, communist, or fascist domain. It’s universally used by all governments on this fallen, corrupted, perverse world.

And this is nothing new. What is contained in the article below is just an expansion, a greater boldness of the evil that exists within every nation, including America. America is not exempt.

There was a time, for most of its history when America was a special place and nation. An exceptional nation. The exception to most every other nation.

That is no longer the case. Hasn’t been for some time now.

Time to wake up, grow up, come out of the ingrained [propaganda] stupor and into the light acknowledging the times and the place of where we all are presently. And where this is all going.

It’s only going to get worse. Not better.

Not being cynical or pessimistic. Take those words and toss them as they do not apply or aptly explain what has been, is, and will be taking place in America. And in every other nation.

Nothing to do with cynicism or pessimism.

It has to do with REALITY and not wallowing and existing in all the banality. It has to do with knowing and understanding, and believing the whole Word of God. Which when an individual comes to this they then can see, can hear finally, and come to a knowing the world in its darkness can not know, can never know or see or hear unless they come out from that darkness, stop being among the walking dead, and enter into the Light, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The whole Word of God.

Believing.

Seeing.

Hearing.

And thusly living out.

So many all a titter and so turned around and in a lather, upside down and turned around over the use of propaganda? What is taking place in America over the past 50, 60 years?

Do you ever spend time in God’s Word? In the fervent and deep faithful study of God’s Word?

Do you believe what you have read and studied?

And if you are Bible illiterate, though telling yourself to the contrary — and here’s a litmus test for you to know if you’re Bible illiterate and in dire need of becoming Bible fluent and literate — ask yourself this and do not lie to yourself…

“Do I open and read and study the Word of God daily?”

And if your honest reply is, “No, I do not, I rarely read or really study the Word of God, but I go to church most Sundays!”

You are Bible illiterate. And in need. Great need.

Most of what passes for information, both from government branches, agencies, and offices, and the so-called “news” is propaganda. It’s all edited, controlled, massaged, censored, and manipulated to present the desired effect.

And that’s propaganda. It’s part and parcel of the growing fascism in America and around the world.

It doesn’t have to be like this:

or this…

It can look like this on the front of a podium with any man behind that podium speaking…

This is nothing new. And it’s only going to increase. Where it will be almost impossible to discern what is true and what is a lie put forward to further the agenda of those in power.

This is why rather than putting one’s trust and hope in ANY politician, ANY political party, ANY news outlet, ANY government branch, agency, office, or official either appointed or elected EVERY PERSON had better start if they have not already put ALL THEIR TRUST, ALL THEIR FAITH, ALL THEIR HOPE in God, in the Lord Jesus Christ, in the Holy Spirit and in the whole of the Word of God — today is the day to begin doing so. Do not wait. No not waver. Do not hesitate. Do not place your treasure here, do not place all your hope here. All that we know and see is going to fade away. No longer. Eternity is coming. We’re in this escalating spiritual war and each person had better become equipped, knowledgeable and able now. Not later. Now.

And do not place trust…

in any man or woman nor any government of man.

Period.

For it’s all coming to an end. Sooner than later. There are many events that have taken place, that are taking place that has never occurred in world history. Ever. But they are now. And they are increasing daily. It’s called a spiritual war. The greatest and most important of all wars. And there is no avoiding it. We’re all in it. America, tragically, is going to collapse and fade away. Come to terms with that fact. Not because I said so, or because I’m anti-American. Far from it. Not due to what the world calls cynicism or pessimism, no, believe it, know it, because the Word of God says all nations will fall, all will collapse. All will be defeated, for all are corrupt and fallen and perverse within. Due to the constant ingrained sin of man and woman.

Believe this or don’t.

If you don’t? Well, woe to you for you will come to learn too late what really matters most, what really is true.

I hope and pray you are not in that number but rather are in the number that knows and believes the whole Word of God and live accordingly.

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

John 3:36 — English Standard Version

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:14 — King James Version

The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Genesis 6:5 — English Standard Version

And nothing has changed one iota within the heart, mind, or nature of man and woman since Genesis 6:5. Just more people, more wickedness, more evil. Do not let technology, false teachers, and all the propaganda deceive you regarding this.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.

Romans 1:18 — English Standard Version

ACP — A Crooked Path

 

Council on Foreign Relations Tells Government They “Have To” Use Propaganda on Americans

 

By Jay Syrmopoulos
Reprinted from DC Clothesline

The Council on Foreign Relations delivered an Orwellian presentation recently that unsurprisingly went unnoticed in the mainstream media, in which CFR’s Richard Stengel forwarded the notion that governments “have to” direct “propaganda” at their own domestic populations.

The Council is recognized as one of the United States’ oldest and most establishment think tanks of the American power-elite, and it often sets the agenda on important policy questions—or, as former senior editor at the Washington Post, Richard Harwood, in a column entitled “Ruling Class Journalists,” approvingly described the Council as, the nearest thing we have to a ruling establishment in the United States.”

Harwood admiringly wrote: “The membership of these journalists in the Council, however they may think of themselves, is an acknowledgment of their active and important role in public affairs and of their ascension into the American ruling class. They do not merely analyze and interpret foreign policy for the United States; they help make it…. They are part of that establishment whether they like it or not, sharing most of its values and worldviews.”

CFR is a key cog in the hub of Washington think-tanks promoting endless war. As former Army Major Todd Pierce described, think-tanks act as primary provocateurs” using “‘psychological suggestiveness’ to create a false narrative of danger from some foreign entity with the objective being to create paranoia within the U.S. population that it is under imminent threat of attack or takeover.”

In late January 2018, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange publicized the extensive sway the Council on Foreign relations carried over U.S. mass media by Tweeting a graphic created by Swiss Propaganda Research (SPR), a research and information project on geopolitical propaganda in Swiss media, which illustrated the heavy influence CFR exercises over the media narrative delivered to the American public, i.e. domestic propaganda.

The illustration of the Council’s deeply entrenched media presence is based on official membership rosters compiled by SPR, revealing the interconnectedness of CFR’s extensive mass media influence network and its main international affiliate groups—the Bilderberg Group (covering mainly the U.S. and Europe) and the Trilateral Commission (covering North America, Europe and East Asia).

According to the report from Swiss Propaganda Research:

LARGELY UNBEKNOWNST TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, MANY MEDIA EXECUTIVES AND TOP JOURNALISTS OF ALMOST ALL MAJOR US NEWS OUTLETS HAVE LONG BEEN MEMBERS OF THE INFLUENTIAL COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS (CFR)

ESTABLISHED IN 1921 AS A PRIVATE, BIPARTISAN ORGANIZATION TO “AWAKEN AMERICA TO ITS WORLDWIDE RESPONSIBILITIES”, THE CFR AND ITS CLOSE TO 5000 ELITE MEMBERS HAVE FOR DECADES SHAPED U.S. FOREIGN POLICY AND PUBLIC DISCOURSE ABOUT IT. AS ONE COUNCIL MEMBER FAMOUSLY EXPLAINED, THE GOAL HAS INDEED BEEN TO ESTABLISH A GLOBAL EMPIRE, ALBEIT A “BENEVOLENT” ONE.

Stengel, a former editor of TIME magazine, told the audience at a CFR event in late April called Political Disruptions: Combating Disinformation and Fake News that governments “have to” direct “propaganda” toward their own populations.

 

In the full video of the CFR event shown below, Stengel openly argues in favor of propaganda against U.S. citizens starting at the 1:15:26 mark in the footage.

Stengel, who is a former high-level U.S. government official, head of the office for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs at the State Department from 2013 to 2016, and a regular pundit on MSNBC, explained:

BASICALLY, EVERY COUNTRY CREATES THEIR OWN NARRATIVE STORY AND, YOU KNOW, MY OLD JOB AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT WAS WHAT PEOPLE USED TO JOKE AS THE ‘CHIEF PROPAGANDIST’ JOB. WE HAVEN’T TALKED ABOUT PROPAGANDA… I’M NOT AGAINST PROPAGANDA. EVERY COUNTRY DOES IT, AND THEY HAVE TO DO IT TO THEIR OWN POPULATION, AND I DON’T NECESSARILY THINK IT’S THAT AWFUL.

Zero Hedge reported that Stengel’s personal bio site notes that he “helped create and oversee” the Global Engagement Center at the State Department whose official mission is to “counter propaganda and disinformation from international terrorist organizations and foreign countries” (with a “special focus on Russia”).

Perhaps most ominous of all is the fact that a man who publicly says that he is “not against propaganda” on the U.S. government’s “own population was recently named a “distinguished fellow” as part of the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab).

Yes, the same Atlantic Council that espouses a strongly anti-Russian agenda that is funded by Ukrainian billionaire Victor Pinchuk, who also happened to donate at least $10 million to the Clinton Foundation. Pinchuk just so happens to be the CTO and co-founder of CrowdStrike—the company used by the DNC to inspect their servers allegedly hacked by Russia, after refusing the FBI access to the same servers.

Obviously, it seems to be very peculiar behavior by the DNC to refuse the FBI access to their servers, and instead rely on a private company—unless they had an ulterior motive. Consequently, the assessment by CrowdStrike was used as a basis for what eventually resulted in the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Ironically, just two weeks ago the DFRLab announced that its team has partnered with Facebook to “monitor disinformation and protect elections. The DFRLab defined the new initiative as follows:

THE ATLANTIC COUNCIL’S DIGITAL FORENSIC RESEARCH LAB TODAY ANNOUNCED A PARTNERSHIP WITH FACEBOOK TO INDEPENDENTLY MONITOR DISINFORMATION AND OTHER VULNERABILITIES IN ELECTIONS AROUND THE WORLD. THE EFFORT IS PART OF AN INITIATIVE TO HELP PROVIDE CREDIBLE RESEARCH ABOUT THE ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN ELECTIONS, AS WELL AS DEMOCRACY MORE GENERALLY.

THE DIGITAL FORENSIC RESEARCH LAB IS LAUNCHING A PARTNERSHIP WITH FACEBOOK TO SUPPORT THE WORLD’S LARGEST COMMUNITY IN ITS EFFORTS TO STRENGTHEN DEMOCRACY

As if on cue, and with an utterly Orwellian feel, Facebook announced on June 2, 2018, that the user-generated “trending news” section will be replaced by a “breaking news” section—which will be comprised of 80 publications selected by Facebook—that will feed approved content to users.

Facebook will essentially have complete control of the topics and narratives that are fed to their users in a clear act of social engineering, which will give the social media giant—and their political/ideological allies—the ability to directly manipulate people’s perceptions of any event.

During the 2016 election, leaked internal documents from Facebook revealed that the editors in charge of the company’s “Trending News” section repeatedly discriminated against conservative articles, while promoting progressive content, which resulted in the threat of an investigation from the Senate commerce committee.

The new changes were explained in a Friday announcement:

  • Breaking News Label: A test we’re running with 80 publishers across North America, South America, Europe, India and Australia lets publishers put a “breaking news” indicator on their posts in News Feed. We’re also testing breaking news notifications.
  • Today In: We’re testing a dedicated section on Facebook called Today In that connects people to the latest breaking and important news from local publishers in their city, as well as updates from local officials and organizations.
  • News Video in Watch: We will soon have a dedicated section on Facebook Watch in the US where people can view live coverage, daily news briefings and weekly deep dives that are exclusive to Watch.

So, when CFR is publicly advocating for the societal benefits of domestic propaganda, and Facebook is jettisoning an already meager user-generated “Trending News” section and aligning itself with an anti-Russian, Clinton-connected thinktank, Americans should be keenly aware that they are being actively propagandized, and they should work to intentionally diversify their news sources as an omnipotent mass propaganda regime is being covertly implemented.
