I'll never forgive #CorporateMedia for turning citizens, voters, residents, & workers into Consumers.

Workers. Are. PRODUCERS.

Re #democracy: we don't have it. GFC: Banks print money for *themselves*. Protestors quashed in #corporateMedia.

Democracy isnt a 1-in-4 year thing. It happen everytime one spends money/energy. So when Central Bank (read: #monopoly) engages in tillony, printing money disproportionately for the benefit of #oligarchs, they kill democracy.

DogCoinPusher, mentioned above is a darling of DARPA. Forget anything sound there. Amazon/Goo/CloudGlare/MShaft = fascist moneyLosers.

US is giving weapons and engineering #socialMedia to encourage war in #Europe to not only attack #Russia and #China but because Europe has the best #townPlanning model to dominate in the 21st century, and USA are a bit jealous.

The #USA are culturally and linguistically unable to do #townhouses surrounded by #farmland in their #corporateMedia, so they would rather just export #war and pillage Europe.

Will Potter on How the State and the Media Go After Radical Movements

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2MPVWHbhyw&ab_channel=GreenandRedPodcast

We’re in an unprecedented rollback of #CivilLiberties. States are passing laws to #OutlawProtests and #DirectAction, charging non-violent protesters with “#DomesticTerrorism” and #legalizing the #RunningOver of people blocking traffic. #StateSurveillance of activists has increased dramatically. Police budgets are getting astronomical increases to further militarize the state. In Atlanta, in the #StopCopCity campaign, police #assassinated a #ForestDefender, #Tortuguita, who had their hands up and then tried to claim self-defense.

To put this all in context, we talk with investigative journalist and author Will Potter (@will_potter). We discuss the #StopHuntington #AnimalCruelty campaign, the #EarthLiberationFront, the taming down of climate actions in the 2010s and how the police state ignored right wing terror groups in the same period.

We also discuss the role of the #FBI and the liberal #CorporateMedia in going after radical movements, how Cop City is shifting things and where popular culture fits into the story.

A pact also, that whenever a "news article" mentions "x (formally [Turdsite])", to stop reading the article.

Seriously, there can be nothing important after that.

However you dress it up, the Iraq war was, under international law, an illegal act of aggression against a sovereign state. It constituted a #WarCrime and a #CrimeAgainstHumanity. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of innocent people have paid with their lives or suffered unbelievable hardship as a direct result of that act of aggression!

Those who perpetrated that aggression in the name of democracy & the ending of a vile dictatorship, like #TonyBlair and #AlastairCampbell in the #UK, are guilty of War Crimes yet they remain free men: #Blair to earn £millions from advising various sordid dictatorships like Saudi Arabia; #Campbell to be feted on the #BBC state broadcaster & various other #CorporateMedia talk shows!

Conversely, #Wikileaks founder Julian #Assange, who exposed many of those heinous crimes, has been rotting away in isolation for years in #Britain’s top security Belmarsh prison & awaits possible extradition to the #US Imperium where he will likely be imprisoned & tortured for the rest of his days!

In this short but excellent @DoubleDownNews episode, Stop The War Coalition’s (#STWC) Lindsey German asks “What kind of world rewards war criminals & imprisons those who tell the truth?” She discusses the legacy of the Iraq War & makes a strong case for putting Blair (and other Iraq war criminals) in jail instead of Assange! https://youtu.be/YudeIkDaTRA

Diplomatic cable released yesterday implicates the #USA in the ousting of #ImranKhan.

This is what the sarcastic 'OREALLY' hashtag is designed for, so get ready

#OREALLY

We had a similar coup in #2010 with the ousting of #KevinRudd in a #corporateMedia blitz.

https://www.rt.com/news/581067-us-pressured-pakistan-khan-ouster/

#pakistan #regimeChange #imranKhanCoup

ALL of the TV broadcast networks (NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX) this morning dedicated their entire shows to Tru*p drama.

Nothing about climate/heatwave, pipeline controversy, state murders, legislative activities, SCOTUS, Navy destroyers in Alaska, homelessness, poverty, wars, EU protests, Iran, Turkey, Lebanon... nothing

You get the idea.

"I really wish that journalists and editors took this as seriously as scientists do, and reported it loudly and accurately, taking the time to get the facts right,” Foley wrote. “The planet is in trouble, and we need to have the best possible information.”

Thank you, @FAIR, for all you do to help me get the best possible information!

Great to see you posting on #Mastodon!
I've been sharing yr stuff here since I migrated from 🐦

imo one of the worst cons ever was when #CorporateMedia convinced Americans that they are 'Consumers' rather than Workers &/or Citizens. You have a bully pulpit for pushing back on that bs 🙏🏼 please do!

@ThomHartmann has been beating this drum HARD. #Corporatepersonhood & #CorporateMedia are killing us

Corporations and oligarchs with massive fortunes can hire as many junktanks (so-called thinktanks), troll farms, marketing gurus, psychologists and micro-targeters as they need to devise justifications and to demonise, demoralise, abuse and threaten people trying to sustain a habitable planet.

With our food systems on the verge of collapse, it’s the plutocrats v life on Earth

Climate breakdown and crop losses threaten our survival, but the ultra-rich find ever more creative ways to maintain the status quo, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

**Leaked documents reveal Reuters helped overthrow Egyptian democracy**

"Reuters served as a channel for the UK Foreign Office to covertly fund an Egyptian outlet that clamored for the overthrow of the country’s first democratically elected leader, leaked documents show."

The Media/Intelligence Complex in action.
