Trump’s war against the fake media continues
by Jon Rappoport
February 26, 2017
Those who thought Trump would back off in his war against media are, so far, wrong.
For example, the other day, the White House held an informal press conference, a “gaggle,” and among those not invited was the New York Times.
—How dare they, the Times said.
The truth is, we are long overdue for a massive exposure of the mainstream press. As in: they are liars. As in: they are shills for the so-called “progressive Left.” As in: they have a history of supporting horrific US wars. As in: they take CIA “leaks” as gospel. As in: they never expose the Globalist agenda. As in: they defend conventional medicine which destroys millions of lives. And so forth and so on.
Think of what Trump, Bannon, and their team are doing as a necessary “market correction,” after a century-long bubble.
Any president or presidential candidate could have executed the correction. But they didn’t. Trump did.
Who is reporting on Trump’s war against the media? For the most part, independent news outlets. Of course, the Times and other mainstream news operations are slamming Trump for his attacks on them—but they are in the middle of the fire. And they don’t have the will, courage, and intelligence to assess their own performance over the last century. They can’t be expected to expose themselves.
The overall long-term effect of mainstream news is the induction of a hypnotic trance. The audience expects the truth because they believe. They uncritically accept. They rely on “reputation.” They ingest Authoritative Tone. They need a Voice that narrates reality. They refuse to do their own research. They reject the idea that there are powerful men behind the curtain who are controlling the direction of government. They embrace vague “humanitarian” ideals that are reflected with the same vagueness by mainstream news.
This is a war on the subject of waking up vs. staying asleep.
It is much bigger than Trump. He is a catalyst.
Even if you assume every single one of his policy objectives is wrongheaded and dangerous, he is still a catalyst.
Most Progressives who have also been opposed to major media fictions over the years now put that issue on the back burner, because they hate Trump. They would never admit he is a wedge into the shattering of mainstream supremacy. They would rather spend all their time attacking The Donald. “We’ll revisit the continuing major media crimes later, when hopefully a Democrat (who? Hillary Clinton?) is leading the charge…” Good luck.
In my 30 years as a reporter, I’ve come to see the result of mainstream news parading as the eyes, ears, mouth, and brain of the populace. It has been an utter disaster. The stench has risen high in the sky. I’ve watched reporters who are actually CIA assets turn the truth upside down and inside out. I’ve watched news editors ax vital stories that could have redirected history along better roads. I’ve watched “legendary journalists” betray the public trust time and time again, as their reputations climbed to the level of honored statesmen. I’ve watched newly minted graduates emerge from journalism schools with the moral sense of hustlers who sell pay-day loans to desperate clients.
When you realize the persona of mainstream news is a stage hypnotist performing daily in front of millions of people, you know the clog in the brain of the public must be taken away.
The naïve faith of the hypnotic subject must be dismantled.
We have a chance now. More than a chance. We are winning. The shift to independent media is happening on a grand scale.
Consensus reality is absorbing powerful body blows.
In many cases, people are realizing the consensus doesn’t even exist. It was erected on a foundation of sand by The News. It was propped up by chatter from fake experts.
If six mega-corporations now own roughly 90% of the mainstream news in America, it stands to reason they are going to service other mega-corporations, as well a federal government which supports and illegally advances the prospects and profits of those other companies.
The News is the business of business, via hypnosis. “Here is the Word about America today. Close your eyes and relax…”
My own personal and final declaration of independence as a reporter came ten years ago, after I had researched and exposed several monumental medical lies. In each case, I discovered mainstream news outlets were blocking the publication of the truth. In each case, they were defending the lies.
There was no sadness or depression about this. Quite the opposite. I felt energized and inspired. My long-held suspicion about mainstream news was irrevocably confirmed. The die was cast. There was no going back. From that point on, I would be dedicated to unseating major media cover stories with the facts.
There are many, many people who would take it as a personal loss and tragedy if the New York Times disappeared tomorrow. They would be beside themselves. I would take it as a great victory. A tremendous amount of “normalcy” would go out the window. Which is a good thing.
Because we really do exist in a landscape strewn with ops, cover stories, real conspiracies, lies, omissions of great importance, and bribery. Seeing all this surface and penetrate the hypnotic blanket would certainly cause an amount of chaos. But it would be fertile chaos.
From it, new individuals would arise with new discoveries and new solutions. People would find out what hope (not fake hope) is.
Loads and tons of un-remediated problems would begin to dissolve in burning light.
Well, this is happening now. We are still in the early stages. But is happening.
The old familiar semi-happy status quo is going away. It was never genuine. It was nothing more than the Sunday edition of the New York Times arriving on a doorstep, with the promise of morning coffee. Comfortable habits.
Now we are climbing mountains and making deep archeological digs. We are launched.
No possible future is safe as long as The News is the perceptual apparatus of the people. The News in the mainstream has forfeited its right to exist and flourish. We can know that now or know it later.
I opt for now.
I highly recommend now. It’s bracing and fortunate and absolving.
Joy comes in many forms.

The Emperor (MSM) has no clothes but that are made of lies, lies and more lies…
If America had a true and honest news agency. Bill Clinton would never have been president. Hillary Clinton would be in prison maybe. Hillary rode on William Clinton coat tail
Don’t be naive! If the MShitMedia were all like FOX there wouldn’t be any problem for Donald!
I have to admit that Jon is absolutely right on this one and then some. I’ll have more to say about it…
“The News is the business of business, via hypnosis.” Well said! And the clamoring, screaming, whining and bemoaning among the MSM is joyful music as the public gradually is awakening from its collective coma.
“We will know that our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false” ~ CIA director Wm Casey, Feb 1981 in White House briefing as reported by Barbara Honegger
CIA Operation Mockingbird has manipulated all news for decades….
It’s a start, but as long as the school system is in place, the trance will continue to dominate. Bust up the educational cartel. Defund Decentralize Deregulate. Keep the Dept. of Education, but turn it against the current system, turn it into a trustbuster entity, under the banner of Separation of School and State. Why not! Bannon is calling for the end of the Administrative state, so let’s do it.
The NY Times will never go away. Its existence is no longer predicated on the free market and or readership. If they ever lost enough readers some blowhard liberal billionaire would fund it in order to keep promulgating left wing propaganda. Oh but wait, isn’t that what is happening now?
If every business or media outlet was based on profitability and accountability, winners and losers would not be predetermined like it is today thanks to the elite. Only in a liberal’s fairytale world of stacked decks could such a newspaper like the NY Times currently exist. The globalists have managed to inverse reality.
Liberals want a world where competition doesn’t exist, where people get participation trophies and there are safe spaces. This is why liberalism is a failed ideology, it can only operate in an inverse reality. Most liberals fear competition especially the competition of thoughts and ideas. In order for them to thrive, every single thought and word contrary to their world view must be censored, marginalized, mocked and or obliterated.
What you are currently seeing from “progressives” is going to be the equivalent of a child temper tantrum which will be relentless and unceasing for the next eight years. President Trump must counter this by just doing his job, plain and simple. Ignore the children’s tantrums and take care of business. Trump will start making huge progress by using common sense and ignoring the child like adults. Reality will again become based on accountability, logic, truth and facts, the progressives worst nightmare.
There is no reason to sit down with “progressives” who live in a bubble and or cult. Trump is now dealing with these fascists head on with no respite. It is a very hard struggle but worth it. Trump must keep going, the time for compromise ended at least thirty years ago when liberalism got highjacked by the globalists.
Western civilization is now drowning and whether we like it or not, we now have Trump who is here to try and keep it afloat. Hopefully God is watching over him. Godspeed to President Trump, you have truth on your side. Do not give an inch, keep the steamroller moving forward and these “progressive”/fascists will finally be exposed for the treasonous useful idiots of the globalists they have become.
Jon, you have the antenae to pecieve the thinking of the clear headed, common sense people out here among the weeds and tares. For that I/we have much appereciation for your ability to put in writing, the evils, in an almost poetic way, that is never dry and boring.
Humbily, thank you.
Warp Speed! TY, Jon…
All I can say is that the corporate media has been warring against the people for ages. It’s about time we have a champion to fight against the giant corporate media.
It is so frustrating.
My older sister and her husband, who were both Maths teacher in high school, religiously watches the news on television every day.
They think they are well informed. They hate Trump, they want refugees and do not believe there is a NWO agenda.
As an example, they have grandchildren and I warned them about the vaccines. OUCH! They became almost crazy, didn’t want to even discuss it or read your articles, Jon.
They have a daughter who teaches biology at the university, so they only believe in what she has to say. And she is all for it. She gives her children every new vaccine available, because she loves her children…lol
And by the way, they are always sick of course. Those vaccines are screwing their immunity. Still, she keeps vaccinating them.
I gave up, I don’t bring any more information to them, it always ends up badly. So, I shout my mouth and let them think whatever suits them.
I don’t understand these people. It seems to me, that if they could see what is really going on in this world, they would break down and never recover.

TRUMP SAYS HE WILL NOT ATTEND WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS’ DINNER
The president tweeted his announcement on Saturday
http://www.infowars.com/donald-trump-says-he-will-not-attend-the-white-house-correspondents-dinner/
Trump would have all in government sign non-disclosure agreements if he had his way. He didn’t build the USA and he wasn’t elected CEO so get over it, the people are watching him now. Watch for Trump TV where only favorable news of POTUS will be published /broadcast along with an hourly reminder of his win numbers!
lol
“Joy comes in many forms” indeed, Jon!!! Having freed myself many years ago from the Matrix, I live fully & happily in the present moment observing the wonderful chaos that will ultimately birth something revolutionary & new.
I’m so very thankful for all you’ve done along with the other stalwarts in the alternative press to keep us informed & inspired. Together We The People must also do our part in co-creating the kind of society that many of us long for. I sincerely believe the best is yet to come despite the current fear-mongering “dramas”
May President Trump succeed in completing his mission of intentional disruption of the old, pathological & corrupt system of governance. The Phoenix will rise from the ashes!
Trumps war against the fake media continues.
Fixed it for you.
Here is an interesting notion, if you have the eyes to see;
“Tele-Vision” is the Audio and Visual system charged with delivering
The “NEWS” or Direction (North East West South)
Via
NEWS “ANCHORS” who anchor
the Tele-Vision “PROGRAMMING”
Hidden in plain sight? It is clearly not meant to be hidden. I find it humorous that very few recognize the patterns, and even fewer understand the implication of hiding the machinations in plain sight.
Its a massive psychological operation: Those who understand exhaust themselves trying to explain the obvious to the overwhelming masses who refuse to accept the obvious. Its simultaneously frustrating and hilarious, except that its a tragic comedy.
Additionally, the people who refuse to recognize these patterns are the same folk that claim humanity is evil in nature. Ironic?
Humanity is so evil, so terrible, that we have to necessarily select a few of these animals to “police” the rest of them, so as to actually, definitely initiate violence in order to prevent the possibility of violent actions. Also, even though humanity is evil, there is no way possible that a few of these very evil people would be so devious as to continue ancient dark occult practices and therefore enslave the rest of humanity in mind, body, and soul. Nope. Humanity is so evil, so terribly disastrous as a species… but no! There could not possibly be a selection of these creatures that have banded together for their own ends at the detriment to the entire species. Nope. not possible

The MSM doesn’t represent the progressive left as you claim — for proof, all you need to do is have paid attention to what they did to Bernie Sanders during the Democratic primaries. No, the MSM is obviously the propaganda arm of their corporate overlords and the deep state, i.e., the intelligence community. The DNC “the Russians did it” morons are decidedly NOT progressives.
Group think beware, Jon is on the prowl again, fine art in a journalistic form. To me it’s like a tasty gourmet morsel, so pleasing to the free being. Enjoy and savor the after taste as it sinks in.
Excellent article. I love “fertile chaos.” from that can come real organic growth from the grassroots up.
Right on the mark
Truly an inspiring White House administration “happening” during my lifetime. I didn’t think it was possible. I’m psyched to be alive during a dynamic and authentic potential for change in government. Kelly, you kneel on that Oval Office couch anytime. You’ve earned it.
so then who is responsible for legitimate health/toxins/geoengineering/ etc.. sites being removed daily and yet the REAL fake news is going strong as ever?…only thing that i see that’s changed is that the real important news is being silenced … at an alarming rate too
