Media Propaganda


I keep wondering just how much more lying, covering up, and propaganda the American people will take from the media, but it seems our tolerance for this is boundless. The media keep trying to tell us how things are getting better, but we all know it isn’t. They keep trying to convince us that unemployment is lower than it is and still we want to believe it so we ignore their lies. They are clearly covering for the Obama administration, yet there is no outrage from the citizens of this once great nation. We are quickly heading toward being a nation like Russia. The Administration and the media, willingly complicit with them have decided to report that unemployment is down. How do they do this? It is simple, they choose ignore the more than 11 million people who have given up looking for a job. If they were to include those numbers unemployment would be well over 10%. Of course this wouldn’t look good for a struggling Obama campaign. After all they need to make sure they give him every chance to be reelected no matter what the facts are.

The media has been about doing this for far too long and still there is hardly a word from anyone. If anyone is expecting the media to rat themselves out they are fooling themselves. They are going to continue to pretend that the media is bias on both sides. Once again they are not going to let the facts get in the way of what they have to say.

There is probably no bigger indicator that our nation is in decline than the propaganda of what was once a free press. Lines are being drawn and sides are being taken. The media, probably as much due to the progressive educations they received as children by Marxist teachers feel it is there duty to help this progressive, Marxist movement in our nation. They are convinced that the American people cannot stand on their own and that of course the government has got to be there providing for them all the way.

The truly said thing is that so many of these people do not display the slightest understanding that the government does not have its own money. What they like to think of as government benevolence is actually government tyranny. The government is forcing those who pay taxes to take care of those who do not. This is not really benevolence or charity for neither of these things can be forced or they cannot be rightly called benevolence or charity.

These same media and administration people seem to either ignore or pretend  that people will not grow discouraged with being forced to have their pay taken from them and given to those who either cannot or will not work.

The American people by nature are a very charitable people. We give more than any other nation on Earth. Yet our government and our media would have us believe that we are nothing more than users and takers.  Now it may be true that we are turning into those things. Again it is hard not to grow discouraged when you see others doing nothing and having as much or in some cases more than you. Eventually you are going to feel like what Is the point of producing and you will also become one of the takers and just be willing to live with less.

What Is happening in this nation is happening on so many different levels, and has become so interwoven in our society and our thinking that it has become nearly impossible to think about ever doing away with the system we have. We’ve come to believe that we need the government to regulate everything. That everything must be equal, which has become confused with fairness. We’ve allowed our thinking about fairness to become muddled. Fairness does not mean you get what everyone else gets, it means you get what you deserve. To this I say if you won’t work you don’t deserve to eat, and certainly never deserve the “right” to demand that someone else should provide for your food simply because it is the compassionate thing to do. Should others help you when you’re down and out? I would say yes they should, but the problem is that we’ve come to think of it as a right. We have confused so many definitions on these areas. The media has done far more than its fair share to make sure these definitions have become part of our vernacular.

At every turn we can see attacks on what have always been considered traditional American values. Now those things have become politically incorrect to the point that many consider the error to be with the constitution and the founders not with the modern attitudes. The very mention of the word morality seems to draw snickers from the media. They have course head right toward the exaggerated 1950’s hyper view of morality as June Cleaver, and quickly follow it up with you can’t expect us to live that way, and then go further to imply that NO ONE even then lived that way really. They want us to believe that everyone was doing the same things then that they are doing today, only then there was shame about it and even illegality and as such they simply hid the fact they were doing these things. This is not really true, but then most people now are too young to have known anything but the politically correct rubbish they have been fed for more than 30 years.

One only has to read The Real Obama The budget of a left-wing progressive[1] to realize that Obama is not at all what the media tries to portray him as. You do not have to read a lot into his words to realize that he is a radical left wing progressive, or worse a Marxist or communist. I have long believed this and you only need to read the words that come out of his mouth during speeches to see it. If anything you have to read other things into his words to make them mean anything else, and this is just what the media is busy doing after every speech. This is more of the propaganda wing of the leftist progressive, Marxists doing their job covering for their own. They have been lying about unemployment, they are busy lying about the budget, the economy, the debt, the deficit, etc.

Obama has said that he wants to radically transform this nation and he has been determined to do this. He has not been trying to transform it back to constitutional principles. He’s been trying to transform it away from. He has clearly held the view that capitalism doesn’t work and it’s time for the government to step in and fix all that. Following is just one example of his feelings about the founding of this nation.
America is an unjust and deeply unfair country. “The basic bargain that made this country great has eroded,” Obama said at Osawatomie. “Hard work [has] stopped paying off for too many people. Fewer and fewer of the folks who contributed to the success of our economy actually benefited from that success.”
If he’d said that only once, it would be unremarkable and hardly central to his thinking. But he’s emphasized it in speech after speech. Americans “have seen the decks too often stacked against them,” he said in the jobs speech to Congress. The recession “left innocent, hard-working Americans holding the bag,” Obama declared in the State of the Union.

Even worse, Obama said at Osawatomie, “it doesn’t work. It has never worked. It didn’t work when it was tried in the decade before the Great Depression. It’s not what led to the incredible postwar booms of the 50s and 60s.” Nor did it work in the 2000s, he said. “Understand, it’s not as if we haven’t tried this theory.” But he didn’t mention the Reagan years, when the economy recovered from a recession and boomed [2]

This is what Obama really believes. He has not said these sorts of things only once as the media would have you believe. The likes of Allan Combs and others would try to explain away each occurrence of such statements as though they stood alone, but the problem is that he has said these things on many occasions. During his campaign for the 2008 presidency it was everywhere that he said he believed in the redistribution of wealth and yet oddly Americans were not outrage about it at all, even worse they felt this was the sort of man they wanted as president. No wonder he feels completely justified in pursuing his communist agenda.

If we don’t wake up quickly we are going to find the American we knew has turned into the Russia we feared!
