Every American citenzen should buy one ounce of silver - that would be a real take that (right up-their-(!)s).
Well said Dr.
That's why I only use web for news - I choose what shit my brain has to absorb, not MSM.
The only way to stop it is to defund it. This does not mean tax avoidance strategy on income. They have a printing press. They don't need your money. Adherance to the overt system legitimizes the covert systems. That is what truly fuels the beast.
More on topic, recently CNN is in full "we (media+.gov) do stuff because we think it makes you think you feel safe." This was specifically mentioned during the story about the baggage handler running guns from ATL to NYC on delta flights today. But the 9-11, SandyHook, Ferguson, Boston bombing, and Sony hacking "news" segments are getting more and more 4th wall winks ... from both the "reporters" and the "experts"
We do not have cable TV. Shut that crap off about 8 years ago, have not missed it in the very least.
Disconnected the day a Time Warner rep told me I had no choice in the package that was availble to us. Said...It's us or nothing.
Cancelled that day, cut the cable off the house the next. Fuck Time Warner!
We have a TV antenna straped to the chimney and get all of the idiot box we want to watch!
I want to feel that way, if I just wasn't makin so many educational TV shows.
negative rates - agreed. i hope you and your corporation continue to make lots of educational tv shows. socially and morally responsible i'm certain, incredibly informative. soon, i'm sure you will be able to make things interactive. viewers will be able to respond, to you and then even others.
and i love most about your stuff, commercial free, no adds with gecko's selling me insurance, acne cures or products doing incredible things that state 'do not try this at home'.
i gladly pay every month to have your programming brought into my household.
i'm just wondering, i'm a wealthy, educated, multi-lingual 30+ (changed it from 'adult') male, would it be possible to produce shows that were not targeted for 15 year old boys in the mid-west (with attention and learning skills)?
i can't thank you enough.
by the way - i LUV the stuff you do with that gal from duke university. she is just great. geometry, physiology, biology, fashion design. it's endless. that's your adult programming, isn't it?
(sarcasm. sort of? i don't even know myself anymore).
Well, well, well...

....NOT on the Teevee.
We fingered some folks.
Some folks got fingered.
Empty stadiums, ratings in the tank, nobody wants to go full on Third Reich anymore. What's wrong with you people?
Pull the plug on TV and Hollywood.
TV is the most destructive WMD man has ever created.
no, actually the credit card is #1 .
TV is almost solely responsible for the narcissistic consumerism that compels people to charge things they don't need on credit cards, just so they can keep up with the Jones'. Maybe they are equally desctructive. You can't have the chicken without the egg afterall..
No, actually the television is #1. Well said INAR
No. A debt based, fiat money system is the #1 WMD unleased on mankind since around the start of the 20th century. Keep your eye on the ball.
Still think tv is worse and I could probably run circles around you regarding knowledge of the debt based, fiat money system you speak of. Maybe you should just worry about where your eyes are.
I just tried to read some of your past posts, ya know, to learn how to better keep my eye of the ball. Unfortunately, like so many other personas here that claim to know much more than they really do, you're just another turd in the punchbowl in the path to true knowledge.
TV replaced the bible, (ok, holybooks, well not in middle east yet). you can take it from there.
bottom line is, we had the opportunity to enrich ourselves with knowledge, communication, etc. and in the US opted for idiocacy.
Do it for the Children's Sake....
That's the main reason we ditched our satellite TV service a while back.
The next step is for the American people to Stop: Stop paying. Stop playing. Stop obeying.
The banksters and their violence-puppets, governmnet, have constructed a skyscraper of cards upon our backs. If we withdraw out backs, the entire shit show will come tumbling down upon them. Sure, as a result Americans will realize how much the banksters and governmnet have stolen from them, and how impoverished they really are. However, the American people then can quickly bounce back since the thieving and murderous parasites will no longer have them connected to their debt plow.
Stop paying. Just Stop.
The banksters need to repay us.
Well said but there is the slight problem of them controlling the police, the judiciary and the army and they come after us one by one so that the masses won't rise up against them.
Unless Americans all adopt a Bundy mentality of zero tolerance and everyone rising up to save even one innocent victim, they will be doomed.
"Well said but there is the slight problem of them controlling the police, the judiciary and the army and they come after us one by one so that the masses won't rise up against them."
With respect, but if the colonists had adopted your attitude, we'd still be the slaves of the king of England. There would not have been the 137 years (1776 to 1913) of freedom, advancement, and prosperity that the American people enjoyed and thrive in.
Remember, the Boston Massacre happened in 1770, 6 years before the Declaration of Independence.
It will take some to say enough, and some to say no more, and some to suffer, before we, the American people, can exert our "right, and our duty to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for our future security."
Each person reading this needs to consider where they stand. When enough will be enough, and when "no more" will be the only stand to take. To risk power's "slings and arrows" for one's freedom, dignity, family, and community.
When does a bystander to tyranny choose to become to a resister to tyranny?
The banksters need to repay us.
The banksters can repay us our wealth, or have their heads gaze out at the sky from a basket.
With all due respect to Adams or Madison or whomever wrote that clause, I think it should have read, "right, and our duty to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for our liberty."
When does the Mama June sex tape come out?
Cute cartoon, but too over-simplified. My ability to watch the mass media has decreased to almost no tolerance. I can not stand watching, and have to grit my teeth to even watch a few minutes of that kind of propaganda. Consider that the mass media were necessary to make the inside job, false flag attack on 9/11/2001 be successfully able to accomplish its objectives of starting the "War on Terror," enabling genocidal invasions abroad, as well as preparing to impose democidal martial law at home. That was merely the most spectacular symbol, so far, of the ways that the mass media influence society.
It is arguable that the worst general problem that the human species faces is the degree to which civilization is controlled by Huge Lies (backed by violence). In that context, the mass media are the most professional liars and immaculate hypocrites, which are promoting those Huge Lies, so that those Lies can continue to control civilization. Therefore, one could reasonably assert that the mass media are the worst influence in the world, since they are biggest promoters of the Huge Lies that control civilization to behave in criminally insane ways.
The current mass media, where a handful of enormous corporations dominate the flow of at least 90% of the information that the vast majority of North Americans receive, was a by-product of the history of the monetary and taxation systems being controlled by the biggest gangsters, the banksters, for generation after generation. Since the foundation of the political economy is ENFORCED FRAUDS, and the profits from fraud could be reinvested in more fraud, the result has become what we see today, namely, the vicious spirals of the mass media promoting Huge Lies, through the most scientific brainwashing that money could buy.
There is no practical political way to compete with the privileged people who already have the power to make the public "money" supply out of nothing as debts for everyone else, and who already dominate the trillion dollar industry of the mass media. While I sympathize with those who turn off their TV, since I can barely stand to watch anymore, as typical on Zero Hedge, that cartoon is superficially correct, however, it grossly understates the degree to which it is correct, and therefore, grossly overestimates the effectiveness of the "solution" that it suggests.
THE ABILITY TO FOOL ENOUGH OF THE PEOPLE ENOUGH OF THE TIME ENABLES HUGE LIES TO CONTINUE TO CONTROL, DRIVING THE COLLECTIVE MADNESS PROMOTED BY THE MASS MEDIA TOWARDS DESTROYING CIVILIZATION.
Outstanding post.
Peace, Aloha and Merry Christmas to you bro.
so true, radical!
i can't even start to imagine how insignificant TPTB would be rendered if everybody would just ignore MSM.
i personally consider the media the worst of the criminal gangs who hold up the illusion of reality which enables and perpetuates the systematic fraud.
Good comic, as opposed to some other comics which seem to get posted here regularly.
What's that box with an image of a man on it?
And what's the guy in the chair holding in his hand?
Got a text about an amber alert 400 miles away and Memphis being a target for ISIS.
Everybody dies, but not everybody lives.
Fuck fear.
You can turn off those amber alerts and gov warnings in the menu of your text app.
First time I got one at 2 am with that loud shriek was the last.
And one tribe to rule them all.
These 6 Corporations Control 90% Of The Media In America
And therein lies the crux of the world mind control problem. The rothschilian owned media constantly spewing zionist/satanic horse tripe uopn the innocent masses.
Here is the exact answer to the nation taking back their futures by going after the megaphone liars and dis/mis-informationist propagandist lying dying lame stream media and staying on top of them with ten toes until they start tell ing the truth for a real change. It might actually save the entire human species and planet from another insanely planned world war. If you silence the evil messengers and listen to your heart, there is a greater chance of changing the direction the out of control ship is headed in to.
Camping out on the doorsteps of these corporations of liars and deceivers is part of the road back to sanity, truth, fair trade, and a prosperous world living in harmony and peace with each other.
These kids are on it, and in the real!

Just remember we are all chimps.
The entire world is made up of basically 5-6 personality traits. Someone must lead while most just follow. Is being informed really benefiting anyone? Just remember its never as good or bad as it seem. Japan was nearly wiped of the face of the earth along with Europe twice last century, bounced back and are about to shit the bed one more time. Humans have a strange way of bouncing back, but don't expect anything to change after the next reset. Same as it ever was. Just remember we're all just chimps.
Just because a chimp can drive a BMW, doesn't mean they will ever be able to make one.
Bouncing back is very hard when you have a shortage of bouncing babies.
I found your views fascinating and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
That's cause you're a juicy banana and chimps and bananas .....
But every once in a while, chimps will surprise you.

Don't most people get their news from the internet?
I live in rural Colorado. I watch terrestrial teevee.
Most folks here get their news shoved into their eye sockets, willingly, and despite the saturation of cable and satellite, still let the networks blast their retinas with crap, hourly.
And now we have mobile news apps, with games and local incentives. But mostly, local news is local news. People just want to know their lives are better than the guy who got jacked up at the local skank-bar.
yellowsub: Don't most people get their news from the internet?
Statistically yes, from millennials on down get the news (for better or worse) from the internets.
I wonder how much of the 1.7B ACA the legislature, judiciary and surving presidents got for keeping their mouths shut about this obvious theft.
very funny
Just turn the volume off. That way you can still see the advertisements and ring for your next trinket.
Lies man is even funnier with the sound off.
My 27" Sony Trinatron tube is ready to be fired up if TV ever makes a comeback. It hasn't been turned on for 8 years but it still works...I think.
You can down the millenials all you want, at least they don't watch the idiot box at anywhere near the level that older folks do.
Oh, fuck yeah, millenials don't watch the teevee, so they be saving the universe allrightie.
That is because they are too fucking busy walking around with their smart phones glued to their foreheads, soaking up useless Facecrap and Twit-ter force feeds.
Poor fucks can't even do live social interaction, because they are so compartmentalized by their zombie phones.
Anyone with brain cells, the power of reason, the desire to learn, grow, and contribute to society is an endangered species.
That goes for any age, cultural, or racial group you care to spew about.
The alive, aware, and awake human beings are the true one percenters of society.
Silvergeddon: Oh, fuck yeah, millenials don't watch the teevee, so they be saving the universe allrightie.

I had an HTC EVO for all of 4 months. Useless, couldn't take it out of my pocket without hanging up on the call. Into the bench vice it went. With a little bit of persistance and some pipe for leverage on the end of the hand crack you can actually get it damned near down to the size of a cigerette lighter.
Now I have a $7 Samsung dumb phone. Never "twittered" in my life.
22winmag: You can down the millenials all you want, at least they don't watch the idiot box at anywhere near the level that older folks do.
This "older folk" (millennial) last owned a TV in 2006.
Pulled the plug 5 years ago and haven't looked back. For the life of me I cannot figure out why people still watch television; it is so dumbed down and condescending to the viewers. In fact, I am convinced that men who pay for a cable television subscriptions have no testicles or will of their own. DOWN WITH MSM PROPAGANDA!
'09 for our little family. Football was the last. I was sitting there one night, expounding upon the Gov's utilization of programming to alienate communities/neighbors/families from one another, and the epiphany struck me in the gut like a Louisville Slugger. I saw with complete clarity the way in which they use all of the videogames and professional sports to warrior-ize our children, to indoctrinate them, to numb them to the stupidity of committing their crimes for them against other kids that never asked for anything but to themselves be left alone. Lost my supper that night.
Now my family never comes over, cuz ain't no SOA or football on at my house. How boring, to have to converse about something other than SOA or football.
Call me Cassandra. They would, if they knew what it referred to.
Or Jeremiah.
At the same time while Jeremiah was prophesying coming destruction because of the sins of the nation, a number of other prophets were prophesying peace.[60] The Lord had Jeremiah speak against these false prophets.
For example, during the reign of King Zedekiah, The Lord instructed Jeremiah to make a yoke of the message that the nation would be subject to the king of Babylon and that listening to the false prophets would bring a much worse disaster. The prophet Hananiah opposed Jeremiah's message. He took the yoke off of Jeremiah's neck, broke it, and prophesied to the priests and all the people that within two years the Lord would break the yoke of the king of Babylon, but the Lord spoke to Jeremiah saying "Go and speak to Hananiah saying, you have broken the yoke of wood, but you have made instead a yoke of iron." (see: Jeremiah 28:13)
Jeremiah's ministry prompted naysayers to plot against him. Even the people of Anathoth sought to kill him. (Jer.11:21-23) Unhappy with Jeremiah's message, possibly for concern that it would shut down the Anathoth sanctuary, his priestly kin and the men of Anathoth conspired to take his life. However, the Lord revealed the conspiracy to Jeremiah, protected his life, and declared disaster for the men of Anathoth.[51][56] When Jeremiah complains to the Lord about this persecution, the Lord explains that the attacks on him will become worse.[57]
Physical persecution started when the priest Pashur ben Immer, a temple official, sought out Jeremiah to have him beaten and put him in the stocks at the Upper Gate of Benjamin for a day. After this, Jeremiah expresses lament over the difficulty that speaking God's word has caused him and regrets becoming a laughingstock and the target of mockery.[58] He recounts how if he tries to shut the word of the Lord inside and not mention God's name, the word becomes like fire in his heart and he is unable to hold it in.[59]

+1
I'm not really into the biblical, being pagan and all, but the story is a good one, and apt. Ya, your heart does indeed burn with fire and it can be impossible to hold it in. I call it the truth. You can call it the word of God or what have you. Too many around me call it paranoid.
To whatever degree anyone believes the Book, much of it is historically factual.
Then there is Jeremiah, Cassandra and us.
Big spoil sports.
Nonsense.
Any correspondence with actual history is rare. And distorted.
Middle finger held high......only problem..... not enough white folk engaging in this behavior....last time they did was the 60's but they were way to fucked up and confused to get anything done...savvy
no TV since 2011.. don't know why I didn't do it sooner.
Two thumbs up! :-)
And the worst offender in terms of sowing the seeds of terror in the hearts and minds of its followers is...................
Yup, it's Zero Hedge, spreading fears of economic terror in nearly every article.
While helping astute readers seriously profit from these truths.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha. Yeah, "profits", that's a good one. Lemme see 'em big shot.
Like taking candy from a nappy head retarded baby.
In your dreams sucker.
only idiots repeatedly visit sites and read articles they don't believe in. The profoundly retarded actually complain about the articles.
I just keep thinking that there must be SOMETHING of value here. Alas, there is not.

THe words written here are a Double Edged sword.
You read terror as you are incested (Yeah...I think that I WILL leave that typo. It makes better sense.) into a corrupt system.
Well I read these words as OPPORTUNIY and they give me hope that the corruption will grind to a deserving halt and collapse.
I can see it from your perspective. You are invested.
But as you are a narcissistic psychopath you are incapable of seeing it from mine.
Much as the slave can understand the master's perspective and in fact, wishes he could trade places, but the master sees not the slave's perspective and nor does he care to.
As a former wage slave, a sovereign, and a freeman I am the master of my own world as I reject enslavement
I inform others that they can be the master of their own.
I do not seek to rule over anyone else...
Only the narcissistic psychopath seeks to manipulate, blame others, and rule over others and has not a care about others.
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.

Thats if it was tuned in to the "news" in the first place. Who watches that drivel anyway? (Unless it's to gaze briefly at a particularly fetching cleavage)
I stopped watching TV altogether when my favorite weekly documentary, The X Files, was cancelled.
I tell people now that the only honest TV is wrestling, honest in a sense that it's so fake they don't even try to hide it.
Thats funny about X-Files.........thinking back it sure seems like they might have been on to something....
Awesome! So much said, with so little effort. Very economical.
What's a Kardashian?....
we call TV - zombie-box in Russia
Cramer's show recently had its second-lowest ratings ever among total viewers, and its lowest-rated show among the key 25-54 year old demographic, bringing in only 2,000 such viewers on a Friday afternoon. As Cramer might say, "Un-booyah!"
A New Self-Defined Measurement
The news for CNBC is so bad that Adweek reports that it is replacing industry standard Nielsen ratings -- which it says don't accurately reflect its audience -- with its own "internal measuring of ad deliverables" when soliciting daytime advertisers.
To be fair, the network had little competition for viewers back in its heyday. Now it faces competition not only from the two other major financial networks, Bloomberg and Fox Business News (FOX), but a wide array of financial news sources across the internet and via social media platforms.

Cancel cable and stop the Tribe...
caution= that streaming live TV site requires a plugin- my AVG detected several trojans and other malware embedded in the download.
No TV or cable for 7 months and counting. Starting my own business and I'm no longer distracted by garbage entertainment when I come home from my primary job. I don't have many conversations with the sheeple re: football or shows, but frankly I don't care anymore. What a waste of time and life it is to be enthralled with the tripe on TV.
GRIP OF REALITY': IRAQI TV SHOW BRINGS ISIS TERRORISTS FACE-TO-FACE WITH VICTIMS
http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2014/12/23/grip-of-reality-ir...
I've had no TV for 10 years at least and do not miss it at all.
I want my....
I want my....
I want my MTV....
No Ameircan actually has any fear about terrorism.
If something bad happens, it pretty much grips our attention for a few days, and then we move on.
Even 9/11 , instead of it becoming some great depressing moment in history , it became like with anything American, a profitable event and built up an entire industry around 9/11 merchandise, because Americans like to feel patriotic, and the only way they know how to express their feelings is through consumerism.... "shop the pain away".
I don't mean to say this in a mean way, its just the truth for the most part.
Nothing short of a nuclear event would really spark any concerns for the U.S. population.... and even that, I think most would shrug it off given a few months.
You cant scare Americans, we are too busy to have time to be scared, only people who have nothing to do have the time to sit around and worry about some impending doom, which is why Terrorism doesn't work, its just a selling point from our own government to sell us laws we dont want and to strip our rights away so they can rob from us more . . . everyone knows this.
Some hoodlum in a cave does not scare the average American....no matter what they do.... they can never impact enough peoples lives in one event to make a lasting change in our perception(to spark fear).
In 20 years, 9/11 will be thought of like the Oklahoma bombing, no one will really linger and talk about it for the most part except conspiracy theorists who are trying to expose some greater truth revovling around the event and as such the collective memory of the event will fade.
