The Art of Mental Warfare Opening Statement: Let The Media War Begin
Posted By David @ 12:01 am - Filed under: Excerpts, Features

For my opening statement I am going to say some things that are obvious to
those of us who spend the majority of our time researching and analyzing power
politics. We have come to understand that the mainstream media is an elaborate
and sophisticated propaganda apparatus that is designed and utilized to
deceive, manipulate, dumb down, distract and marginalize the American public.
We realize that the mainstream media is not giving us the vital information
that we need to develop informed opinions and participate in this so-called
"democracy."

However, the average US citizen still does not understand this. They are too
busy working hard trying to make ends meet, trying to provide for their
families, trying to pay off their homes, credit cards and debt. They don't
have the time to spend hours everyday researching issues that the mainstream
media doesn't even mention or discuss.

In fact, with hundreds of television channels, radio stations, magazines,
newspapers and movies, the average citizen thinks the amount of viewpoints in
the media are overwhelming and diverse. They don't realize that the vast
majority of media companies are controlled by a handful of the world's most
powerful interrelated corporate interests. They don't realize that over the
past 25 years we have experienced a scandalous concentration in media
ownership and an all out attack on public TV and radio.

The number of corporations dominating the US mainstream media:

1983 = 50
1993 = 14
2007 = 5

Government spending on public broadcasting per person:

Germany $85
UK $83
US $1.54

The US has the lowest per capita funding of public broadcasting in the
industrialized world.

"Never before has censorship been so perfect. Never before have those who
are still led to believe, in a few countries, that they remain free citizens,
been less entitled to make their opinions heard, wherever it is a matter of
choices affecting their real lives. Never before has it been possible to lie
to them so brazenly. The spectator is simply supposed to know nothing, and
deserve nothing." - Guy Debord, Comments on the Society of the Spectacle

The censorship most prevalent today is the most dangerous form. Not the
censorship of explicit words, sex or violence, but the censorship of any
thoughts outside of elite corporate ideology. Any views that lead to critical
thought on the prevailing elite market dominance are not allowed to enter into
public consciousness (the mass media).

"The media's the most powerful entity on earth.. The press is so powerful
in its image-making role, it can make a criminal look like he's the victim and
make the victim look like he's the criminal.. If you aren't careful, the
newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving
the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X

The Imperial War

Since Cheney and Bush began their disastrous "War on Terror," terrorism
incidents have increased over 600%. The invasion and occupation of Iraq has
created worldwide hatred toward America on an unprecedented scale. If we had a
critical and informative media system, the Bush administration would have
never been able to launch a war built on lies, distortion and misinformation -
a war that has already claimed the lives of over 750,000 Iraqi civilians, and
killed, wounded or maimed over 30,000 US soldiers. As costs continue to
escalate, the war will cost the US taxpayer well over a trillion dollars -
with billions of tax dollars stolen and unaccounted for!

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired
signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed,
those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending
money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its
scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any
true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of
iron." - President Dwight D. Eisenhower

For those of us who have researched and read the strategy papers that have
driven the Bush administration's foreign policy - all written before 9/11 -
specifically the Strategy of the Silk Route, James Baker's and the Council on
Foreign Relations' Strategic Energy Policy, the Project for a New American
Century's Forces and Resources For a New Century and other crucial documents,
we know that these documents clearly demonstrate that the war on terror is
mostly a front for a geo-strategic imperial war designed to control the
majority of the earth's remaining oil supply. And the fact that this subject
is almost never seriously discussed in the mainstream press is an edifying
example of just how scandalous the mass media system has become.
