The Superficiality of Today’s Television

Social critic Neil Postman contrasted the futures predicted in Nineteen Eighty-Four and Brave New World in the foreword of his 1985 book, Amusing Ourselves to Death. He wrote:

“What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egotism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance.”

Neil Postman’s book, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Or Public Discourse in an Age of Show Business(1985), had its origins at the Frankfurt Book Fair, where Postman was invited to join a panel discussing George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four. He said that our present situation was better predicted by Huxley’s Brave New World. Today, he maintained, it is not fear that bars us from truth. Instead, truth is drowned in distractions and the pursuit of pleasure, by the public’s addiction to amusement.

Postman sees television as the modern equivalent of Huxley’s pleasure-inducing drug, soma, and he maintains that that television, as a medium, is intrinsically superficial and unable to discuss serious issues. Looking at television as it is today, one must agree with him.

The Wealth and Power of the Establishment

The media are a battleground where reformers struggle for attention but are defeated with great regularity by the wealth and power of the establishment. This is a tragedy because today there is an urgent need to make public opinion aware of the serious problems facing civilization and the steps that are needed to solve these problems. The mass media could potentially be a great force for public education but in general, their role is not only unhelpful–it is often negative. War and conflict are blatantly advertised by television and newspapers.

Newspapers and War

There is a true story about the powerful newspaper owner William Randolph Hearst that illustrates the relationship between the mass media and the institution of war: When an explosion sank the American warship USS Maine in the harbor of Havana, Hearst anticipated (and desired) that the incident would lead to war between the United States and Spain. He therefore sent his best illustrator, Fredrick Remington, to Havana to produce drawings of the scene. After a few days in Havana, Remington cabled to Hearst, “All’s quiet here. There will be no war.” Hearst cabled back, “You supply the pictures. I’ll supply the war.” Hearst was true to his words. His newspapers inflamed American public opinion to such an extent that the Spanish-American War became inevitable. During the course of the war, Hearst sold many newspapers and Remington many drawings. From this story, one might almost conclude that newspapers thrive on war, while war thrives on newspapers.

Before the advent of widely read newspapers, European wars tended to be fought by mercenary soldiers, recruited from the lowest ranks of society and motivated by financial considerations. The emotions of the population were not aroused by such limited and decorous wars. However, the French Revolution and the power of newspapers changed this situation; war became a total phenomenon that involved emotions. The media were able to mobilize on a huge scale the communal defense mechanism that Konrad Lorenz called “militant enthusiasm”–self-sacrifice for the defense of the tribe. It did not escape the notice of politicians that control of the media is the key to political power in the modern world. For example, Hitler was extremely conscious of the force of propaganda, and it became one of his favorite instruments for exerting power.

With the advent of radio and television, the influence of the mass media became still greater. Today, state-controlled or money-controlled newspapers, radio and television are widely used by the power elite to manipulate public opinion. This is true in most countries of the world, even in those that pride themselves on allowing freedom of speech. For example, during the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, the official version of events was broadcast by CNN, and criticism of the invasion was almost absent from their transmissions

The Mass Media and Our Present Crisis

Today we are faced with the task of creating a new global ethic in which loyalty to family, religion and nation will be supplemented by a higher loyalty to humanity as a whole. In case of conflicts, loyalty to humanity as a whole must take precedence. In addition, our present culture of violence must be replaced by a culture of peace. To achieve these essential goals, we urgently need the cooperation of the mass media.

The predicament of humanity today has been called “a race between education and catastrophe”: Human emotions have not changed much during the last 40,000 years. Human nature still contains an element of tribalism to which nationalistic politicians successfully appeal. The completely sovereign nation-state is still the basis of our global political system. The danger in this situation is due to the fact that modern science has given the human race incredibly destructive weapons. Because of these weapons, the tribal tendencies in human nature and the politically fragmented structure of our world have both become dangerous anachronisms.

After the tragedies of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Albert Einstein said,

“The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything except our way of thinking, and thus we drift towards unparalleled catastrophes.”

We have to learn to think in a new way. Will we learn this in time to prevent disaster? When we consider the almost miraculous power of our modern electronic media, we can be optimistic. Cannot our marvelous global communication network be used to change anachronistic ways of thought and anachronistic social and political institutions in time, so that the system will not self-destruct as science and technology revolutionize our world? If they were properly used, our instantaneous global communications could give us hope.

The success of our species is built on cultural evolution, the central element of which is cooperation. Thus, human nature has two sides; tribal emotions are present, but they are balanced by the human genius for cooperation. The case of Scandinavia–once war torn, now cooperative–shows that education is able to bring out either the kind and cooperative side of human nature, or the xenophobic and violent side. Which of these shall it be? It is up to our educational systems to decide, and the mass media are an extremely important part of education. Hence, the great responsibility that is now in the hands of the media.

How do the mass media fulfill this life-or-death responsibility? Do they give us insight? No, they give us pop music. Do they give us an understanding of the sweep of evolution and history? No, they give us sport. Do they give us an understanding of need for strengthening the United Nations, and the ways that it could be strengthened? No, they give us sit-coms and soap operas. Do they give us unbiased news? No, they give us news that has been edited to conform to the interests of the military-industrial complex and other powerful lobbies. Do they present us with the need for a just system of international law that acts on individuals? On the whole, the subject is neglected. Do they tell of the essentially genocidal nature of nuclear weapons, and the urgent need for their complete abolition? No, they give us programs about gardening and making food.

A consumer who subscribes to the “package” of broadcasts sold by a cable company can often search through all 100 or so channels without finding a single program that offers insight into the various problems that are facing the world today. What the viewer finds instead is a mixture of pro-establishment propaganda and entertainment. Meanwhile, the neglected global problems are becoming progressively more severe. In general, the mass media behave as though their role is to prevent the peoples of the world from joining hands and working to change the world and to save it from thermonuclear and environmental catastrophes. The television viewer sits slumped in a chair, passive, isolated, disempowered and stupefied. The future of the world hangs in the balance, the fate of children and grandchildren are uncertain, but the television viewer feels no impulse to work actively to change the world or to save it. The Roman emperors gave their people bread and circuses to numb them into political inactivity. The modern mass media seem to be playing a similar role.

Our Duty to Future Generations

The future of human civilization is endangered both by the threat of thermonuclear war and by the threat of catastrophic climate change. It is not only humans that are threatened, but also the other organisms with which we share the gift of life. We must also consider the threat of a global famine of extremely large proportions, when the end of the fossil fuel era, combined with the effects of climate change, reduce our ability to support a growing global population.

We live at a critical moment of history. Our duty to future generations is clear: We must achieve a steady-state economic system. We must restore democracy in our own countries when it has been replaced by oligarchy. We must decrease economic inequality both between nations and within nations. We must break the power of corporate greed. We must leave fossil fuels in the ground. We must stabilize and ultimately reduce the global population. We must eliminate the institution of war. And we must develop new ethics to match our advanced technology, ethics in which narrow selfishness, short-sightedness and nationalism will be replaced by loyalty to humanity as a whole, combined with respect for nature.

Inaction is not an option. We have to act with courage and dedication, even if the odds are against success, because the stakes are so high.

The mass media could mobilize us to action, but they have failed in their duty.

Our educational systems could also wake us up and make us act, but they too have failed us. The battle to save the earth from human greed and folly has to be fought in the alternative media.

The alternative media, and all who work with them deserve both our gratitude and our financial support. They alone can correct the distorted and incomplete picture of the world that we obtain from the mass media. They alone can show us the path to a future in which our children, grandchildren, and all future generations can survive.

    when will these kind be held accountable?

    i’m thinking of WWI and the consideration for the Balfour Declaration as well

  3. What if nobody in the United States paid attention to the media at all? What if they simply accepted it as a load of shit?

    Like Donald Trump has.

    A bunch of people high on cocaine in some Hollywood bungalow and people accept this as some sort of divine instruction?

    They must be pretty stupid.

    I’ve heard You Tube referred to as J Tube but in point of fact it has democratized the media. Anybody can post electronic information on it.

    How many people still purchase newspapers.

    The degree to which a population can be manipulated by the media probably reflects its IQ.

    To enforce conformity with all these nostrums would require a suffocatingly totalitarian state. I’d prefer almost any other fate for humanity — even a continuation of history.

    There’s another problem. What if no one wants this morally hygenic paradise? What if, deep down, people prefer their catastrophic rendezvouses with destiny — whatever the consequences? As Orwell observed about Hitler:

    ‘Whereas Socialism, and even capitalism in a more grudging way, have said to people ‘I offer you a good time,’ Hitler has said to them ‘I offer you struggle, danger and death,’ and as a result a whole nation flings itself at his feet. ‘

    Perhaps we’d rather have that.

  5. I have been trying to work out what that added to most people’s knowledge or tended to help humans plan and move toward a better future than pure laissez faire would achieve. It is hardly news that most people in all ages have been happy to accept a trade off of ease and fun against putting time and energy into contending for, holding and using power which can affect everyone. Apparently the author hopes that will change and thinks it might, if not highly probably.

    I presume that the author accepts that the accelerating rate of innovation and invention which became obvious in the 19th century will continue to afford mankind huge improvements on what those born even 100 years ago could look forward to. So he worries about the threat of the negatives. These he identifies as

    1. Excess population and population growth with which few would disagree but on which he gives no hint of solutions. With this he raises fears of global famine.
    2. Using fossil fuels because, presumably, he regards them as the major cause of dangerous global warming
    3. “Corporate greed” which, unless he can envisage some miraculous transformation of human nature must mean that the large institutions of the economy, which, even if state owned, can’t all be run at a loss, must be better regulated, and shamed and sued into ceasing to inflict gross negative externalities on us
    4. The need for “Restoring[sic]” democracy in lieu of the oligarchy he sees as having developed …. in unnamed formerly democratic countries
    5. The need to decrease inequality (the measure of which is not mentioned) in all countries and between them to some unspecified extent.
    6. The need to destroy nationalism and it’s basis in ingrained tribal feeling and thinking and to replace this with generous feelings for all humanity and a willingness to act accordingly – but with no discussion of good or acceptable discrimination in judgment, sentiment or action – or any realistic idea of how humanity may be changed for the better.

    It is hard to imagine opponents frothing at the mouth and shouting “bullshit” to all of those sentimental objectives though some will quibble with the climate change assumptions that seem to be implicit. But what would a practical person’s approach be? The answer to that is impossible to discern in the article.

    Are there untrue beliefs about matters of fact which are making effective dealing with the world’s problems significantly more difficult and which could be countered successfully? Maybe world leaders could agree on a program to reduce these damaging errors of belief and understanding?

    Gotta go. To be resumed, perhaps.

    It seems obvious to me that a totalitarian and authoritarian state of truly suffocating dimensions would be required to establish and enforce such a comprehensive new order.

Which of these shall it be? It is up to our educational systems to decide, and the mass media are an extremely important part of education. Hence, the great responsibility that is now in the hands of the media.

    Usually, xenophobic peoples keep to themselves. Who have the North Koreans invaded? At most, they tried to unify their own nation in 1950. It is the anti-xenophobic peoples who invade the world and cause wars all over. All the 21st century wars were brought about by xenopaths(xeno-sociopaths) who think they have the right to force all the world to bend to US military might and Homomania.

    Palestinians have been ‘xenophobic’ and minded their own business. Jews have been globe-trotters. Who invaded whom? It seems Jews invaded Palestine. Usually, xenopaths invade ‘xenophobes’.

    Now, rising above petty tribalism is good. Better to have nationalism than clan-ism that leads to squabbles among the same people.
    But when nationalism surrenders to globalism, trust becomes impossible. Sweden became a Trust society for Swedes in a homogeneous society. But with tons of Africans and Muslims, trust is breaking down.

    Trust isn’t just about rational understanding or more education. It is about shared identity, customs, values, habits, and etc., i.e. things that people are not even conscious of most of the time. Among people of shared identity and culture, trust is often second-nature because they understand one another almost instinctively.
    This is why Trust among people of shared race/ethnicity works better than trust with foreigners.

    No amount of education will create a nation of trust in Brazil or Venezuela. If anything, Diversity will turn education into Schools of Grievance as we have in the proggy West.

  8. I’ve long abandoned the wrath of the “Idgit Box” and don’t miss it at all. It’s quite amusing when those unaccustomed to my heretical ways have a seat in my living room and notice immediately the lack of the blue glow and the incessant patter that accompanies the flicker-flash of constantly shifting images. For most of them this leads to a feeling of unease and anxiety. And often the question is asked: “What do you and your wife do if you don’t watch TV?” My reply is: “We read.” which leads to slack-jawed expressions of disbelief. From this perspective it’s interesting to observe the entertainment seeking behaviors of my neighbors and acquaintances who willfully burden themselves with the bilge of popular culture. TV (in whatever form), legalized reefer and abundant calories of dubious nutritional value are the Soma of the West.

    True, massively true. Political activity is hard work, even when it’s of the pedestrian electoral variety. Political dissent can be absolutely gut-wrenching and heart-rending, and if you hit any nerves at all, you may be vulnerable to serious retaliation under the color of law.

  14. News in America is controlled by the Zionists who control the MSM and control the internet companies like Google and Facebook , etc. and are censoring news to fit their far left wing / communist bias and so the alternative media is our last hope and stand against the Bolsheviks who are controlling the MSM.

    Orwell was right, even more than he could of imagined, America is under Zionist control.

Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance.”

    The government is already censoring books and articles (inc.media self censorship for example on “sensitive” topics such as Palestine, or Israel’s influence on US politics). So Orwell was right and so was Huxley. We’re also seeing mass irrelevance, passivity and egotism. From personal observation very few people read books, mostly due to entertainment and social media (inc. Unz Review – it’s also social media – but more relevant than the cat photo type).

    Today, state-controlled or money-controlled newspapers, radio and television are widely used by the power elite to manipulate public opinion. … For example, during the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, the official version of events was broadcast by CNN, and criticism of the invasion was almost absent from their transmissions.

    Yes, with a passive population, control of the media is a key to power.

    The success of our species is built on cultural evolution, the central element of which is cooperation. Thus, human nature has two sides; tribal emotions are present, but they are balanced by the human genius for cooperation.

    I would extend that to say advanced societies are built on cooperation AND trust. Tribal emotions don’t “balance” cooperation – They are the basis of co-operation and trust – hence the historic evolution of tribes into nations and nation states. It’s not an accident that ethnic Chinese live in China, ethnic Germans in Germany, ethnic Poles in Poland and ethnic Jews in Israel (and that multi-ethnic states and Empires eventually break up and fail).

    Do they give us unbiased news? No, they give us news that has been edited to conform to the interests of the military-industrial complex and other powerful lobbies.

    “Other powerful lobbies” read Jews (Is it good for the Jews?). The article would be improved by saying it.

    The Roman emperors gave their people bread and circuses to numb them into political inactivity. The modern mass media seem to be playing a similar role.

    If a small minority of plutocrats want to impose themselves on a country it has to be weakened socially and democratically. Active low level Democracies with full citizen participation are successful at resisting Special Interests since they raise and spend their taxes on local activities and have no interest in sending money to Israel, or funding ME wars.

    We must achieve a steady-state economic system. We must restore democracy in our own countries when it has been replaced by oligarchy. We must decrease economic inequality both between nations and within nations. We must break the power of corporate greed. We must leave fossil fuels in the ground. We must stabilize and ultimately reduce the global population. We must eliminate the institution of war.

    We must stop making sweeping statements at international conferences and start building local Democracy in local communities (bottom up democracy). Local people talking about local and national issues and voting issue by issue.

    … combined with respect for nature.

    Rather than Speaking to the World, start by planting shrubs or a tree in your own garden, increasing green cover of soil and recycling (composting) garden waste. All sorts of animals and insects will welcome the new habitat.

    I have some very pleasant get togethers with Vdare and Amren but it appears that the Antifa punks and “The System” are making it increasingly difficult or impossible to meet, those who do brave to meet in the real world run the risk of doxing, loss of job, families disown them.

    I would like to host a meet and greet event outside of Chicago – we would party on a Friday night, dress well and drink wine at fancy hotels unannounced. People would get their own hotel rooms.

    We would get up very, very early meet at a downtown Amtrac train station, take luxury busses and Amtrac trains, the buses and trains would be party travel with live music and spirits – then an all day conference between Chicago and Iowa – again all unannounced, the conference will have some cover name like “Renaissance Faires Conference”.

    @Jeff Stryker

    Its the application of the science of Psychology to media that makes uncontrolled omnipresent media so dangerous to humanity. Interesting Mr. Stryker that at the moment, Utube advertising seems to be independent of the content providers? That is something to think about. There may be a message in that.

    IMO, traditional MSM has been, a privately owned, (92% by just six Informationclearinghouse.info), advertising funded, group of internal to nation, culture and religion, terrorist organizations that enjoy privileged monopolized access to the minds and thought process of the masses. Since the beginning, copyrighted materials have been produced by private or special interest, and used to force into human sensory systems, psychologically engineered propaganda, which propaganda has been used or is designed to be used to control or influence the behaviors of the individuals that make up the masses of our societies, cultures and religions.

    Advertisers pass the cost of advertising and spying to their consumers; so in fact advertising and spying on consumers is a tax and since it is not the government that is involved, the tax is paid to the private owners. Engineers produce the propaganda in accord to the directives of the private or special interest. MSM is not the government. Its a group of publishers and content providers who use the media to distribute their propaganda to the minds of the masses. As is pointed out in the article: Media is a weapon more powerful than any Military.

    As JSV sez “Today we are faced with the task of creating a new global ethic in which loyalty to family, religion and nation will be supplemented by a higher loyalty to humanity as a whole.”
    Such a goal is the essence of human freedom and it is going to put massive pressures on government and the private interest that government has been supporting in deference to those it is suppose to beneficially govern. Establishing “a human right oriented global ethic” requires that distribution of deceptive content be stopped. Access to media must be free, open to all on equivalent unimpeded basis. Media must not be a monopoly, in the hands of private owners or in the hands of government. Media provides the gun powder used to propel the most destructive weapon mankind has yet to encounter (deceptive propaganda). Private advertising is the collector of the taxes the audience is required to pay; private advertisers remit those taxes to the MSM publishing, distribution and spying on consumers operations.

    Enforcing human rights, leveling the competitive playing field, delivering the best possible quality of life, making sure all people in all nations at all times are as well off as it is possible to make them, is the duty of government. The masses of humanity must govern their own governments (not special interest). Humanity must stand up and make its governments, and those who animate such governments, serve each governed individual equally. All special interest should be looked at as “threats to human rights” because such special interest organize to provide privileges to members or benefactors not available to the masses. There is no place for special interest in a democratic government.

  20. “Neil Postman’s book, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Or Public Discourse in an Age of Show Business(1985), had its origins at the Frankfurt Book Fair, where Postman was invited to join a panel discussing George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four. He said that our present situation was better predicted by Huxley’s Brave New World. Today, he maintained, it is not fear that bars us from truth. Instead, truth is drowned in distractions and the pursuit of pleasure, by the public’s addiction to amusement.”
    Maurice Bardèche’s Nuremberg or the Promised Land, published in 1948, predicts the future much better than either of these books:

    That anyone in 1948 could have foreseen so accurately our modern world is to me astounding. Bardèche recognized that the judicial travesty at Nuremberg was not simply an act of vengeance by victors against the vanquished and that what was on trial there was not just the particular German defendants, nor the German nation, nor even National Socialism, but rather nationalism itself: the idea that a people own the land that they have long lived in and have the right to live in it as they wish and to exclude others from living in it if they so wish. It is nationalism in any form which was condemned at Nuremberg.
    With amazing prescience Bardèche foresaw in its condemnation the coming of an international system which is first and foremost economic, not political or governmental. Its purpose is to protect an international economic élite, not ordinary persons, or peoples or nations. It offers the latter lots of rights but no guarantees that these rights will be respected. Its laws are unclear (unlike those of a prince) and broadly unenforceable, but the system does not attempt to enforce them broadly but only selectively. For selected victims punishments are severe. Victims are selected not so much because they have broken laws but because they have offended the “universal conscience,” the conscience created and fostered in us all by the media (Bardèche’s “radio”). Bardèche clearly foresaw the system which we today call “globalism,” although he nowhere uses that term. He also foresaw at least implicitly many other aspects of our world: Third World immigration, the irrational glorification of democracy, loss of sovereignty, humanitarian wars and interference, hate crimes, affirmative action, racial miscegenation and replacement, etc.: “At the bottom of the sanctuary there sits a Negro god. You have all the rights, except to speak evil of the god.” “And, from one end of the world to the other, in perfectly similar cities . . . there will live under similar laws a bastard population, a race of indefinable and gloomy slaves, without genius, without instinct, without voice. . . But this will be the promised land.”
    In 1949, one year after the publication of Nuremberg or the Promised Land, another prophetic book was published, George Orwell’s novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. In it Orwell describes a scary future in which there is a single party dictatorship, living conditions are drab, food is scarce, people’s thoughts are openly controlled by Big Brother, their words and actions are monitored through “telescreens” which they cannot turn off, they are given no choice over what they view on these screens, there is only one channel on the “telescreens” and one film (always a war film) in the theatres, in one such film refugees trying to escape are shot to the delight of the audience. Some of these refugees are Jewish, “the Enemy of the People” is a Jew, Emmanuel Goldstein, who is condemned for “advocating freedom of speech, freedom of the Press, freedom of assembly, freedom of thought,” people are openly taught to hate him and his followers during “Two Minutes Hate” and “Hate Week;” sex is discouraged through a “Junior Anti-Sex League,” the Inner Party is called the “Inner Party,” thoughtcrime is called “thoughtcrime,” Thought Police are called “Thought Police,” the media propagate obvious, self-contradictory lies such as: “War Is Peace,” “Freedom Is Slavery,” “Ignorance Is Strength,” people are told that democracy is “impossible” (although the Party is said to be its “guardian”), capitalism is viewed as a barbarity that has “vanished.”
    The world described in 1984 little resembles that of the Occident today. We live in multi-party democracies. Our mainstream media tell us not only that democracy is possible and a very good thing, but that its triumph everywhere is virtually inevitable—an inevitability which we should make every effort to encourage. Living conditions are generally good, food is abundant. Capitalism is alive and well and is promoted as an economic panacea. Our politicians advocate the same things as does Emmanuel Goldstein. Our media propagate obvious lies such as: “Diversity is our strength,” but they at least avoid flagrant self-contradictions (some kinds of diversity may indeed be a source of strength, although certainly not the radical ethnic diversity that our media promote). Refugees do not flee our societies, but rather risk their lives trying to get into them. We are not taught to hate, but to tolerate. Sex is not generally discouraged, even among the young. With our multi-channel televisions and the internet we are free to see, hear, read, and discuss almost anything, if not everywhere. Freedom reigns.
    Yet to some that freedom seems, if not illusory, useless. It is useless because people’s thoughts and actions are monitored and controlled not by anything outside themselves but by their own warped consciences—consciences deliberately warped by our mainstream media, consciences closely resembling Bardèche’s “universal conscience.”
    Orwell’s and Bardèche’s books have had quite different careers in the Occident. Orwell’s, although formerly banned in the Soviet Union, has been widely read and praised; Bardèche’s is still banned in France and is generally unknown elsewhere. 1984 has served to warn us against the dangers of Communism, and for that deserves acclaim. But one cannot help but wonder if its general acclaim today is not also an index to its irrelevance. We have escaped the dreadful future envisioned by Orwell in 1984. We have not escaped the dreadful future envisioned by Bardèche in 1948. Bardèche says that his “only ambition, in writing this book, was to be able to read it again without shame in fifteen years.” My ambition, in translating it, was much more grandiose: I hope to hear it read some day without shame on TV by a politician. Bardèche wrote this book for the sake of the German “reprobates,” whom “the radios of all the people of the world, and the presses of all the people of the world, and millions of voices from all the horizons of the world” characterize as “monsters.” I have translated it also for the sake of “reprobates,” those nationalists throughout the Occident whom all our radios and presses and millions of voices likewise characterize as little better than “monsters.”

    The mainstream media has always been dishonest. From the “yellow journalism” of the late 1800s and early 1900s to today’s “fake news”, journalism has shown its true (communist) roots.
    From the lies about the Spanish-American war to the New York Times’ walter duranty hiding the truth about and denying the artificially engineered and forced communist “famine” in the Ukraine, to the lies about the 1968 Viet Nam communist Tet offensive (a military victory for the South Vietnamese and American troops) reported by walter cronkite as a military defeat, cronkite and his ilk were successful in prolonging the Viet Nam war for years, giving “aid and comfort” to the enemy, who bragged about being supported by the U S media.

    The media has become a “fifth column” of the government and is not to be trusted. The CIA has had its hooks in the media since the 1950s. In fact, Hollywood script writers were paid to insert anti-drug messages in their scripts during the “drug hysteria” period of the 1980s through 2000s. Today, we have “crisis actors” embedded in our government and media, the same “crisis actors” who keep showing up, being used in every (fake) “crisis”. The mainstream media keeps parroting these impostors, thinking that we are stupid, not being able to see through their lies and deceptions.
    To our advantage, we now have the internet, which gives the ordinary citizen the ability to see through the deceptions and lies, and the capability to be real “journalists”, quite often getting and reporting the story TRUTHFULLY before the mainstream media.
    In fact, there are calls by “mainstream media” to “license” journalists, in an attempt to keep these “citizen journalists” out…twenty years ago, any journalist suggesting such a scheme would have been thrown out, but nowadays…who knows?

  24. Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Germany’s Minister of Propaganda said:

    “To attract people, to win over people to that which I have realised as being true, that is called propaganda. In the beginning there is the understanding, this understanding uses propaganda also as a tool to find those men, that shall turn understanding into politics. Success is the important thing. Propaganda is not a matter for average minds, but rather a matter for practitioners. It is not supposed to be lovely or theoretically correct. I do not care if I give wonderful, aesthetically elegant speeches, or speak so that women cry. The point of a political speech is to persuade people of what we think right. I speak differently in the provinces than I do in Berlin, and when I speak in Bayreuth, I say different things from what I say in the Pharus Hall. That is a matter of practice, not of theory. We do not want to be a movement of a few straw brains, but rather a movement that can conquer the broad masses. Propaganda should be popular, not intellectually pleasing. It is not the task of propaganda to discover intellectual truths. Those are found in other circumstances, I find them when thinking at my desk, but not in the meeting hall.”

    I agree. We need to dismantle the mass media and mass education machinery we inherited from the last century, not strengthen them. We’d be far better served by a four dozen small media outlets — responsible to their own community — than by one state broadcaster. The same thing is true with our universities.

    Privately owned and state owned mass media, mass culture and mass education gave us the conditions in which Donald Trump became the best man for the job and Brexit became the only way for the British to fix their relationship with the EU. Mass culture breeds a stupid public and a proudly unresponsive ruling class.

Maybe you could even pull your mama or grandpa away from CNN and Fox to look at the new channel online? Online, because it won’t be on TV, and it won’t be taken too seriously on public access TV.

    Diplomats selling heroin in Los Angeles! Embassy Staff breaking into police officers houses and beating them up! White South African Embassy staff doing drive-by’s police officers…

    As an adult who’d by then spent 10 years overseas I could not believe how stupid it seemed. To think that the public could be made to believe this Leftist Garbage.

    Not long ago I saw the trailer for BLACK PANTHER. Some stiff-looking black actor in a silly costume-doubtlessly white thespians playing the villains.

    To think some young woman will watch that and go out and seek some black thug for a boyfriend who will do her in, as so often happens to white women who get mixed up with them.

    It is us whites, who have been forced to externalize our altruism, by the false guilt trip pushed on us by the”civil-rights” movement, who have to come to grips with the fact that every other race, group, and culture has always internalized their altruism, which is healthy for any society. We must do the same.
    Thanks to the internet, the jewish grip on white culture is loosening, perhaps not fast enough, but change is coming.

    I must disagree, I think. The problem with “higher loyalty to humanity as a whole” is that it leads inevitably to the tragedy of the commons. The biggest problem the world faces today is that of open borders. With closed borders – every nation looking after its own – the problems of one country stay in that country. With open borders, the power of exponential population growth means that inevitably the entire world will soon be reduced to the level of Bangladesh.

    Yes, consider Bangladesh. Right now the population is around 200 million, and growth is slowing because chronic malnutrition is limiting the fertility rate. Suppose countries did not favor their own citizens, and the Bangladeshis had equal access to the world’s resources.

    Population of Bangladeshis (in and out of the country):
    2020: 200 million
    2040: 400 million
    2060: 800 million
    2080: 1.6 billion
    2100: 3.2 billion
    2120: 6.4 billion
    2140: 12.8 billion
    etc. You get the idea. And this is just Bangladesh. Don’t forget Pakistan, or India, etc.etc.

    Well, the alternative universe I am hoping for is a refuge for our resistance. As far as I know the Deep State leaves the Amish alone. There’s a partial model for us. And the Amish establish physical places for themselves to reside, to have refuge. That’s what is needed for us – just not 1835. Then we support each other like the Amish do – with our own media; buy and sell to each other; stick together.

    Another thing that scares me but also inspires me is how the Muslims in Europe have ghettos that even the police won’t go into. So don’t they get left alone to their own devices? Is this also true of East Saint Louis and Camden? So can we reside in our own “ghetto” without the violence and Sharia and poverty?

    I think places in the depopulating great plains would welcome a new community. And plenty of fertile land to feed each other.

    The safe-haven concept requires balls and brains to up it to a certain level of viability. That supposes some prepositions: no drugs, physical fitness, generational leads, diet (corn syrup and palm oil won’t do). No overload of junk (tv, the internet as used by the commoner) communication etc. .

    The above is being taken care of by conventional education, politics, entertainment, consumer toys. To break the cycle requires a monster that breaks the cocooning in sludge and bad taste of the commoner. Do not think too high of “autonomous” Muslim ghettos in Europe (Schaerbeek Brussels), the level of autonomy in the streets is about that of a negro block in downtown L. A. Once a level up, a political strategy, a social system, biological drift, calls at arms, solidarity, stealth, it all degrades when the first armored car shows up. Admittedly the ex patria experience in the Middle East of a few has helped the stamina and courage, the self-consciousness of the younger generation of Sunny Muslims. For what it is worth. The cocaine trade environment was soft core compared to beheadings and getting bombed. So there is “progress”.

    Consumerism is such an important religion, anything bleaks in the shine of it to simple minds. Christianity, Islam, Judaism… six days of capitalism, six nights of suckling consumerism, and a single day of church or jamiah is about the best of it.

    “Amen” definitely is meant to be consumerism. Nothing like it in history.

    First, there was no “false guilt trip” or “externalizing altruism” by whites when it came to the Civil Rights movement. It was a genuine movement to ensure basic rights for specific citizens of our nation. Second, this notion that other races have “internalized their altruism” is nonsensical. Third, white people make their own decisions about race and culture, and need not be virtue signaled to death by you when such choices are made that run counter to your beliefs.

    Eventually I found a page of Mr. Karlin’s site with a section discussing the differences between American and Russian media. While it’s helpful to a degree, I doubt it says enough.

    The reason I ask is that, while I applaud the existence of alternate media, however, I don’t want to give up on radio, TV or newspapers completely. Not to mention there are some people who don’t have internet connectivity. (correct me if I’m wrong, but Mr. Karlin also said on his site that internet connectivity in Russia is not as developed as that of the US)

    I’d be grateful if anyone here can confirm or dispute any points I made.

If Jews are separately identifiable, by their cultural, psychology, psychology or mental profiles, and the content designers might make the stimuli visible only to the target.

    Psychology documents sensory system detected behavioral responses to stimuli within a given set of environments. If sensory systems are insensitive to, or have been conditioned to be insensitive to, non targets, the stimuli would be transparent, and no response would be expected.

    …You won’t find any Jewish women down the county welfare office as single mothers, pregnant a fourth time by an unknown father and seeking fiscal support from the tax-payer.

    I don’t doubt that Sarah Silverman was badly used by the age 18 or that she did some sexual favors for half of Hollywood.

    But she is not some single mother seeking tax-payers support.

    The Jewish teen pregnancy rate is not an epidemic.

    The absence of Jewish fathers in households is not destroying the Jewish family. Jews are not writing articles about how bastardy is destabilizing their society and Gentiles have to do more to assist them in restoring the Jewish family.

    There is no question that many Jewish women have become sex workers. Look at the porn industry.

    But few of them become single parents unable to support their children.

    The same might be said for Asian women.

    Asian women have also been involved in the sex industry. Visit a massage parlor nearest you. But you’d be hard-pressed to see many Asians at the welfare office. Out-of-wedlock Asian teen pregnancy is low.

    The second statement matters only as with regard to the “sustainability” of their rule, and it is diminishing. Toxicity, climate, inaccessible parts of the globe to them, the grinding to a standstill of the progress in controlling crowds with regard of the waste that these crowds do produce as compared to the energy they can be extracted of. There is no “policing” solution to that. Their position gets weaker, not as to these same crowds globally, but as to the permeability of their own live bulbs. They are basically throwing more grinded apples into the mash (the end of the growing season is way past), to retard the effect of the ferments in it to mature and explode into snaps (German for moonshine).

    when a commentator talks about population reduction it raises my red flag. I suspect all such commentators are elitist and racist..open or clandestine.. may not even be aware of their deep racism and personal threat to humanity in their own being

    who are to be reduced? who are to do the reducing by effective implementation of reductive plans or by direct killing, sterilization etc?

    as I understand it, the material development of life is a serious brake on population increase. so why don’t we let that take its course while we develop global democracy and the well being of all people. and if that is in fact the case, in the most comprehensive material development of human conditions, those alive at the time will develop a major survival problem in how to keep human numbers up..at on-going species survival levels?

    my point is that I hope commentators like this one here..Scales.. has only their own opinion to give, then as now.. and can command not even the power of a paper like this one to spread it far and wide, that ,
    otherwise increases the weight of their points of view

    this article I guess has its positive points but Scales is elitist. the answer lies in converting ownership of human productive forces into popular ownership, ending the capitalist relation, social decisions to be made by the people for the people by organizational social structures they create and evolve to hand to effect such democracy as they go.

    I would imagine then that a sensibility and outlook as represented by Mr Scales wont even exist at such a time if the revolution succeeds. and that to my mind would be one of the best developments of popular social revolution..the elimination of the means that produce social elitism of all and every kind

    So good little Avis and Dovs have to play with themselves a lot more than most western teens, instead of having sex-obsessed access to good little Rachels and Miriams – who have to do the same in the privacy of their beds instead of going out unsupervised with boys – exactly as used to be the case in White lands until JEWISH social engineering wrecked the social order in the 1960’s. And so there is NO porn brainwashing, moral-poisoning, mind-decaying cesspit filth, early-teen sex or associated early-pregnancy, ruined-life disasters for good little Jewish children.

    No, no… Not at all. Israel is a CLOSED land for Jew-produced, Jew-promoted, Jew sex-obsessed degradation and nation-wrecking propaganda porno filth. Jews save all that satanic shit solely for the hundreds of millions of innocent, trusting, unsuspecting goyim children across the west, who are watching anal penetration on their bedroom computers whilst still trying to concentrate on their school homework – and wondering why they feel “strange” down below, and can’t wait to meet that nice boy or girl who smiled at them in the cafe as soon as possible.

    Jew murder of our society will not end until we end it.

    On a purely economic/social level, Jewish promiscuity has no affect on society.

    Jesus Christ. Are you serious ?

    Well a good many Jews seem fully prepared to leap into porn as adults, that is for sure. And while Sarah Silverman probably was that nerdy virginal girl until 18 I am sure that she made up for lost time.

  117. @Dave Bowman

    How many Jewish girls end up 3 kids from 3 different fathers starting at age 15 that the taxpayer has to cover?

    Is teen pregnancy really a problem for Jewish girls?

    Sarah Silverman probably ranches more peckers in a weekend that Shaquina or Bobby Sue Joe or Cholita does.

    But you won’t see many Jewish single mothers.

    I’m not a “shill” or anything else. But if we are going to deal with facts, lets deal with them. It is blacks, Hispanics and poor white girls from the underclass who suffer from these social pathology.

    Whatever you say, Corvinus.

    But are you, or are you not, a Jew ?

    Of course mass media is crap. Remember the McBride report? That’s why the government hates UNESCO. The last 20 years has been CIA’s futile struggle to a controllable mass medium of the Internet.

    Remember, back in the 90s, the people who thought they owned the web pushed ‘push?’ Rather than let you pick what you want, they were going to shove it down your throat. That flopped. Then CIA invented its first human terrarium, AOL (headquartered in Dulles, VA.) CIA was going to press their nose against the glass and watch while you paddled in the basin and basked on the rock and ate your lettuce. AOL shelled you with hundreds of those stupid CDs but you didn’t want it, so Time Warner was forced to swallow it. Now a dwindling niche of technically illiterate elderly people use it, most famously John Brennan.

    Then there was Myspace, the next terrarium. Now unsuccessful musicians put their music on it but its mostly been supplanted. DoD killed it by censoring Iraq war reports from the troops. Meanwhile nowthatsfuckedup.com disseminated the combat photos that embedded journalists couldn’t get. It was based on a simple agreement: you get an account by supplying pictures of Iraqi corpses – or your girlfriend, naked, if you didn’t have any corpses. It got suppressed, but by then the troops were trading CIA torture porn so nobody missed it.

    Now Facebook is struggling to manipulate the most passive and least politically engaged segment of the population as their market ages and begins to die off. Young people don’t use it and older people are embarrassed to admit they do.

    Mass media have no role in civil society. Nowadays you can coordinate a vanguard for any feasible purpose with open-source software using your own little box as a server. These internet ads — what are they? I have never seen one. With tor browser bundle and noscript or umatrix, or Tor hidden services or i2p or any blockchain network, you are out of their reach. Anyone who doesn’t know how to use that stuff is politically irrelevant. Those poor bastards can’t do anything but vote.

    That was hilarious. It made my night.

    There was an article here a while ago on proposals for military web censorship. One of the suggestions was for newspaper web sites to disable the viewer comment function. That speaks volumes. They want to lecture to us without being questioned. The New York Times had a forum a long time ago. It didn’t last long because they were getting skewered, even by their own subscribers. Now they have a comment function that is heavily moderated, with “Times Picks” comments highlighted in a separate tab.

    I can’t remember the name of it, but there was a beta application back in the 1990s that would provide an overlay for any other webpage where users could post comments on a third party server that was out of reach of the site host itself. You could annotate the overlay of any site- from a news story to a politician’s web page. I thought it was a terrific idea, with marketable potential, but something seems to have killed it off.

    Never heard of that. I do recall cases where commenters spawned websites for viewpoints suppressed by the site owner. Moonofalabama.org grew from Billmon’s website when he started suppressing criticism of more and better Dems as the solution to everything – and the offshoot has outclassed the original by leaps and bounds. squonk.tk is a less divergent offshoot of craigmurray.org.uk, who suppresses certain contentious topics to do his own thing. Typically, what happens is, the sharpest and most connected people swarm to the site that best reflects Article 19 freedom-of-information principles. The inverse is a site like Digby, a closet Dem apparatchik who tried to build a roach motel for party critics. She brought in a cartoonishly pompous Dem asshole named Atkins to ‘control the conversation,’ commenters vivisected him in hilarious technicolor, and now there are no comments and their influence, much like the Dems, is nil.

    Are you kidding? Unz is becoming a toxic wasteland of inane garbage worse than “The View.” Are Whoopi Goldberg articles going to be featured next?

    I’d be happy to see Whoopi post here. If she did, she’d get the first real and intellectual pushback of her life. That would be good for her.

    I wouldn’t count on it given the contents of the articles and the comments written by some of the prolific writers and riders, respectively, here at Unz; she’s pretty much a mainstream actress (and a black one to boot), and I doubt she’d take the opportunity to write a column here.

    Indeed. Knowledge has texture, not structure often.
