Here’s what you need to know about the Guardian:

June 2013: Snowden revelations published

Feb 2014: Guardian’s Computers based in by agents of the UK govt, prompted by instructions of Langley

Dec 2014: Guardian editor who dared to publish Snowden revelations is sent packing:

Thereafter, the Guardian turned into basically state-controlled media/propaganda mouthpiece. They champion imperialism, warmongering, rampant neoliberalism, and they publish what the five eyes briefs instruct them to, unquestioned and unedited as “news”. Even the Guardian’s columnists, which traditionally in a newspaper are the countervoice to the editorial line, are now thinly veiled court jesters of the state. It’s one endless barrage of state propaganda masquerading as independent news media.

Simple as that.

Big government and big corporations are now indistinguishable. You cannot separate CNN from the CIA. You cannot separate Google from the NSA. You cannot separate Pfizer from the FDA.

Mussolini’s definition of fascism as the inextricable intertwining of government and corporate power is now reality. We are ruled by selected—not elected— legislators, by spymasters and secret police, by suits in corporate boardrooms, and by the Davos ruling class and their Ivy League toadies.

The role of media is to conduct an information war not only against Russia (or China or Iran), but against every critical thinker, against the very act of free thought, to repeatedly rape the human mind.

Democracy does not exist. How can democracy exist if the electorate is thoroughly propagandized and if all the truths that matter are classified?

Voting machines are black box computers with secret proprietary operating systems that untraceably produce pre-determined results that have nothing to do with a simple count of ballots.

The open-air concentration camps of the Palestinians serve as the ideal model of social organization. The open-air concentration camps in which we live—nation states—differ from those of the Palestinians only by size.

Our spouses, relatives, friends and neighbors are pod people.

“None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.” — Goethe

Have a nice day.
