Mainstream news is Humpty Dumpty, and he's not coming back
By Jon Rappoport
Mainstream news is a dream pretending to be real.
In
1927, Carl Jung wrote: "...the dream is the theater where the dreamer
is at once scene, actor, prompter, stage manager, author, audience, and
critic."
But in the case of the news, the dream must come from an external place. It must come from The Anchor.
There must be His Voice and it must narrate (invent, fabricate) the hallucination.
In
Paddy Chayefsky's 1976 film, Network, the unhinged news anchor Howard
Beale tells his audience: "We deal in illusions, man. None of it is
true! But you people sit there day after day, night after night, all
ages, colors, creeds. We're all you know. You're beginning to believe
the illusions we're spinning here. You're beginning to think that the
tube is reality and that your own lives are unreal. You do whatever the
tube tells you....You even think like the tube. This is mass madness.
You maniacs. In God's name, you people are the real thing. We are the
illusion..."
The news is a fabricated continuum.
The
staff and crew who assemble the nightly network news understand this
well. They enable smooth transitions from one story to another, backing
up the anchor whose voice-rhythms intone surety. They switch from the
anchor in-studio to field reporters and back; they do everything they
can to eliminate technical mistakes and, above all, guard against their
nemesis:
Dead air.
Seconds of nothing.
This is also what a hypnotist avoids; anything that would cut the trance.
The
elite anchor, the voice that narrates reality, is the modern version of
the underworld ferryman Charon, carrying a billion souls across the
River Styx every night.
But now: SOMETHING HAS CHANGED.
YOU HAVE CHANGED.
You have introduced dead air into the nightly transmissions.
Are you absolutely nuts?!
If the whole show falls and crumbles, don't you see what'll happen?
Decentralization will happen.
Other voices will supplant the dream-narrator.
Chaos will be unleashed.
---Well, actually, decentralization is occurring right now; and the world isn't collapsing because of it.
Something else is going on.
You're going on.
Independent news is going on. All over the place.
Elite news is Humpty Dumpty after he fell off the wall. He's not coming back. He's in pieces.
Humpty
was the channel for official information. He was the relay man for
piped fraud. He was the government and corporate spokesman posing as the
unimpeachable source of truth.
YOU were the primary reason for his fall. You deserted Humpty. You were the first wave. And now...
"All
the king's horses and all the king's men" are trying put Humpty
together again by attacking independent news as "fake." That's their
desperate strategy. It's not working. It's having an opposite effect.
Tell people they shouldn't pay attention to something and should avoid
it like the plague---and they're going to search out that very thing and
look into it. They're the second wave.
And the third and the fourth.
Years
ago, when I first wrote about Dr. Barbara Starfield's stunning review
on medically caused death in America (JAMA, July 26, 2000), when I
reported her findings---225,000 deaths a year, 2.25 million deaths per
decade---I was pushing for major media coverage. But soon I realized
that was never going to happen, and it was unnecessary. Something else
was going on. Independent news was building. It was taking over.
And as a result, Humpty was sitting less securely on his wall.
Humpty was committed to spreading hallucinations and he wasn't going to stop, and this was his psychosis.
He didn't stop. And he fell.
Independent
news outlets are having double effects: they're revealing shocking
scandals and crimes; and without even trying, they're showing that elite
news is ignoring and burying that deep truth. This second effect is
highly corrosive to faith in elite news.
For
example, consider Russ Tice, long-time intelligence-agency veteran, who
led the way in bringing to light the deeper operations of the
Surveillance State. Now censored by mainstream news, Tice told Boiling
Frog's Sibel Edmonds and Peter Collins, on June 19, 2013:
RUSS
TICE: "Okay. They [the NSA] went after [spied on] - and I know this
because I had my hands literally on the paperwork for these sort of
things - they went after [spied on] high-ranking military officers; they
went after members of Congress, both Senate and the House, especially
on the intelligence committees and on the armed services committees and
some of the - and judicial. But they went after other ones, too. They
went after lawyers and law firms. All kinds of-heaps of lawyers and law
firms. They went after judges. One of the judges [Alioto] is now sitting
on the Supreme Court that I had his wiretap information in my hand. Two
are former FISA court judges. They went after State Department
officials. They went after people in the executive service that were
part of the White House-their own people. They went after antiwar
groups. They went after U.S. international-U.S. companies that that do
international business, you know, business around the world. They went
after U.S. banking firms and financial firms that do international
business. They went after NGOs that-like the Red Cross, people like that
that go overseas and do humanitarian work. They went after a few
antiwar civil rights groups. So, you know, don't tell me that there's no
abuse, because I've had this stuff in my hand and looked at it. And in
some cases, I literally was involved in the technology that was going
after this stuff. And you know, when I said to [former MSNBC show host
Keith] Olbermann, I said, my particular thing is high tech and you know,
what's going on is the other thing, which is the dragnet. The dragnet
is what Mark Klein is talking about, the terrestrial dragnet. Well my
specialty is outer space. I deal with satellites, and everything that
goes in and out of space. I did my spying via space. So that's how I
found out about this.
PETER COLLINS: Now Russ, the
targeting of the people that you just mentioned, top military leaders,
members of Congress, intelligence community leaders and the-oh, I'm
sorry, it was intelligence committees, let me correct that-not
intelligence community, and then executive branch appointees. This
creates the basis, and the potential for massive blackmail.
RUSS
TICE: Absolutely! And remember we talked about that before, that I was
worried that the intelligence community now has sway over what is going
on. Now here's the big one. I haven't given you any names. This was is
summer of 2004. One of the papers that I held in my hand was to wiretap a
bunch of numbers associated with, with a 40-something-year-old wannabe
senator from Illinois. You wouldn't happen to know where that guy lives
right now, would you? It's a big white house in Washington, DC. That's
who they went after. And that's the president of the United States now."
After
reading Tice's comments, a person would assume, if he didn't know
better, that this story had to explode in the mainstream press. It just
had to.
But it didn't.
And because it didn't, Humpty went into a serious wobble on his wall. Humpty was looking absurd.
One egregious scandal after another, and Humpty fell. And shattered to pieces.
This revolution isn't stopping.
It's growing.
