The "Independent" Mainstream Media Does It Again

Tyler Durden's picture




 

A month ago, none other than Conan O'Brien exposed the un-independent PR-sponsored propaganda-fest that is the local news mainstream media in America. Well, it's happened again... this time proclaiming "Don't worry... be Happy."

 

As Liberty Blitzkrieg's Mike Krieger reminds, we all know the mainstream media is a joke but sometimes its inherent idiocy can be best highlighted with a little humor...

 

 

Of course this was all prophesied many years ago:

Under a dictatorship the Big Business, made possible by advancing technology and the consequent ruin of Little Business, is controlled by the State - that is to say, by a small group of party leaders and the soldiers, policemen and civil servants who carry out their orders. In a capitalist democracy such as the United States, it is controlled by what Professor C. Wright Mills has called the Power Elite.

 

This Power Elite directly employs several millions of the country’s working force in its factories, offices and stores, controls many millions more by lending them the money to but its products, and, through its ownership of the media of mass communications, influences the thoughts, the feelings and the actions of virtually everybody.

- Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited 1958

you set your standards too high. Many of us find happiness with mag fed full auto.

Myself, I would rather not be close enough to entertain the use of a full auto weapon.

So I would say true happiness is the 338 Lapua with some Schmidt and Bender glass.

Like the old phone commercial, reach out and touch someone.

.300 winmag a-bolt with a vari=x 4 50mm.  and a few improvements like a fluted cut barrel 34"  titanium firing pin.  some facing work and trigger finery. i'm not a 1000 yard shooter anymore, but i can pop a milk-jug at 750 yds. over and over.  saved me a few of those old teflon coated bullets from back in the day.

I agree with that sentiment about not letting them get close enough to you, but I'm relegated to going oldschool.  A 155 palma out of an M1 Garand.  No glass, just national match sigits. 

 

Now then, think about that person who is ALWAYS happy.  I mean, so happy that it is annoying.  Is not the happiness itself the belt fed weapon?

are the palma's more consistent than matchkings?

Tue, 02/04/2014 - 01:24 | 4398958 El Vaquero
El Vaquero's picture

Well, they say matchking on the box.  The M1 loves them though.  I don't even have to count clicks.  I just set the dial so that the numbers line up, and viola, 2 is dead on at 200, and even 6 is dead on at 600.  While I've shot an M1 out to 1000, I've not done it with the 155s yet, so I cannot comment on that. 

 

I can also tell you that they are absolutely devastating on living tissue when you don't need to punch through more bone than, say a rib cage.  If you have to punch through a lot of bone, however, they are a very, very poor choice.  If you are talking about hunting, and you hit a shoulder on a large animal, it's probably going to run off on three legs and die a very painful death, and even if you track it down, that quarter is going to be ruined.  If you hit it high in the chest cavity, it's probably going to turn the heart and lungs into mush, send a ballistic pressure wave through the circulatory system and cause an aneurysm, and do damage to the spinal cord.  On a human head, there would be almost nothing left. 

 

Edit: I've not actually been to Camp Perry, but I have been to Whittington Center.  Not for a while, but it is a very nice range.  The firing line at the high power range has a lot of coal just laying around.  Just watch out when you go into Raton.  Last time I went into that town, there was some bearded guy (I'm talking ZZ Top beard) standing in front of the K-Mart, playing his guitar while wearing a wedding dress.  There is or, or at least was, a law on the books making it illegal for a woman to ride a horse down the street wearing a komono.  I can only imagine what brought that law about.

Ronald J. Berkhimer,  a retired chemical engineer, wrote in 1977 that “there came into print a book which might have changed our world. In painstaking detail, it refuted all the premises of the most influential book on economics since Marx, John Maynard Keynes’ “General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money,” first published in 1936."

It was "the first full length analysis, almost sentence by sentence of Keynes’ chief work."

It was Henry Hazlitt’s “The Failure of the ‘New Economics.’" The original edition sold no more than 5,000 copies; a 1973 edition added only 7,000 more.

What happened? Censorship happened.

Wrote Berkhimer: “Since Keynesianism has the unreasoning support of the big spenders among the politicians and bureaucrats, the higher-wage advocates of the unions, and the left-leaning media, one can easily see why Hazlitt’s book, which undermined some of their most basic beliefs, got the silent treatment.

"In the old days, they would have burned it. Now, with their power over the communication channels, they have simply ignored it.”

My favorite media moment was a few weeks ago when Andrea Mitchell of NBC was interviewing a congressman, and she was forced to break into the interview to proclaim: " This breaking news in from NBC.. Justin Bieber has been arrested in Florida".  She then had to explain the details for several minutes while the congressman waited.  Too funny.

What many folks must know is, the zionist bankster media has been at war against the truth and the American people for many decades.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEhlH_YlQlc

They will spin the top of lies until the last day, and the sheep hit the fan. Question is, how far can they run? America KNOWS WHO the real enemies are and they are NOT the American People, rather a strange lot from some other planet that enjoys death and destruction and the gains of the money-god.

Well, the money-god is going to die, and those who created it and plan to profit from the deaths of 7.5 Billion human beings will the first to be flushed down the toilet of history. Hopefully, straight back to hell from whence they have come.

EVERYBODY KNOWS WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LIES, CORRUPTION, CRIMINALITY, AND WHO HAS BOOT LICKED THESE CRIMINALS, AND WHO HAS KOW-TOWED TO THE AGENDA FOR DECADES, AND WHO CONTINUES TO SPEW THE PROPAGANDA ON THE NIGHTLY CHURCH, TV! THE DAYS ARE SHORT, THE TIME TO THE CRASH IS ALSO. WILL AMERICA BE THRUST INTO A CIVIL WAR THAT WAS CREATED BY THE BANKSTERS FOR THE BANKSTERS TO PROFIT FROM? WILL AMERICANS BE SO STUPID AS TO FALL FOR THIS EVIL PLAN TO KILL HER OFF THAT COMES FROM WITHIN, NOT WITHOUT?

EVERYBODY KNOWS!

You know, it's possible to become over-wrought regarding the financial crisis. Yes, the dollar may well collapse as a reserve currency - what fiat currency has ever survived a century? And as in the Weimar inflation, or right now in Argentina, a lot of people may lose a lot of money, but knowledge, tools, roads and other capital assets don't just evaporate. It doesn't mean a Zombie Apocalypse.

A post on something looking way 1984ish and the cockroaches scurry out from under the rotted woodwork and damp clothing in piles foam flowing from their antenna dancing the rhumba while singing,  "It's the tribe, it's the tribe, it's the tribe we tell ya."  Oh my GOd, so proud in the way they can disquise in plain site allegiance to the United Kingdom of Hitler. By Yahweh do away with them who seek a homeland but continue to contribute my own tax dollars to the Holy American Homeland Security.

"....You cannot separate the just from the unjust and the good from the wicked; For they stand together before the face of the sun even as the black thread and the white are woven together. And when the black thread breaks, the weaver shall look into the whole cloth, and he shall examine the loom also."

Nothing I've seen does a better job of demonstrating the power of the media moguls to generate a synthetic national conversation - all these seemingly at least semi-independent stations get their talking points, and repeat them.

You could probably do just as devasatating a collage of talking heads regurgitating the talking points they were given for Syria or Ukrane, the Dow or the latest Unemployment figures, but many would bring to that their debates about what is true and what is a lie - or more to the point, the matter of whether they've been taken for suckers - and so would resist really seeing it for what it is.  It's precisely because this one is devoid of real content and gets folks laughing that it lays bare the true nature of the media machine in an irresistable way!

I would urge everyone on this list, everyone, to help take this you tube video viral.

"Well, this is a case in which reality exceed imagination. I bet that Rod Serling, the creator of the famous series “The Twilight Zone” couldn’t imagine such a scenario. And neither George Orwell could probably ever imagine, that one day, people would have the devices which describe in his famous book “1984” inside their houses, but they would press the button on their own will, due to their brain addiction, without actually anyone to enforce them to do it. That through the propaganda and the psychological terror, people would elect governments-servants of the systemic establishment through false democratic processes, leading themselves to deeper poverty and enslavement. That people would even reproduce the propaganda, although they would stop believe to the mouthpieces speaking through the devices."

Nazi Germans were exactly the same, their sorry asses had to be dragged to the 'camps' and even then as now they claimed 'this must have been staged', Germans could never do such and such,

Funny now everyone deny's Boston and 911, as if they're were staged,,... thus even the deaths in IRAQ,AFGHAN,.. FALLLUJA too by that notion are staged,...

Virtual money, virtual government and virtual MURDER,... nothing is real, ... go back to TV.

Best Super Bowl ad and quote of the day

Biker Barbie is the football fan of the house. I on the other hand prefer the commercials. The one that had me laughing my ass off was:


http://youtu.be/ns-p0BdUB5o Where Volkswagon try's (at average cost of 4 million dollars per minute) to persuade us to buy cars made by engineers with wings growing out there shoulders and rainbows shooting out there ass, all the while going, dooby dooby do. Which brings me to the quote of the day, by Edward Bernays (Sigmund Freuds nephew), arguably the father of propaganda and "Public Relations" ( i.e. Selling politicians and shit to the general public): “The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. ...In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons...who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.” 

A fascinating read on what and how ol Edward was able to get the American people to believe (being paid of course by powerful politicians corportions, and social groups), including but not limited to, that a healthy breakfast is bacon and eggs, and women smoking in public was cool can be found here:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Bernays And "IF" you do read this. And you do find yourself scratching your groin going, "well WTF else did I think was an original thought."  Fear Not!  As I will be out chasing rainbow farts while singing doobie doobie do, doobie, doobie, do......... Everybody now.......doobie, doobie, do. Oh damn I think I feel a rainbow coming on.......... Yes I know there are some who will think, thats bullshit. And that my friends is beauty of the method. That is exactly what they want you to believe, that you actually think for yourself...

Volkswagens have poor disc brakes that heat up on mountain roads in the Rockies.  Get rid of them.

All I want is Leo Strauss' worthless hide to be exhumed, his filthy, stinking remains marched to the gallows, hung by the neck until dead, then his dead dead body transported to a waiting guillotine and he is de-capitated.

The dumbass deserves it and so do all of the dumbass Straussians.

That's all I want.

Surrender to win Give up control to gain control Become powerful by being powerless. Bitter sweet the yin and the yang Angry old testament forgiving new testament one God? When asked if the glass if half empty or half full, my answer is always that it is both, for there can never be one without the other as night must have day and on and on..............  Embrace the pain to experience the joy An old friend once told me, no matter what is written, you must find your own truth. Not the truth of others, but yours. But even after you have found it how will you when it changes? Guess it's all fuckin relative!

this ties in perfectly with what, at least to me, seems obvious that something big is coming, economic collapse, new major false flag..something.

that whole super bowl last night was nothing but ra ra ra USA USA the red white and blue was everywhere,  it completely creeped me out and i was talking with my friends saying something really bad must be about to happen and TPTB are greasing the wheels.

that and i think the chicken hawks were probably on something to be able to embarrass Denver so fucking badly, that game was not even close and I'm sure all the bars in and around Denver will be having drink specials for the next month to unload all the unused inventory.
