How the military analyst program controlled news coverage: in the Pentagon's own words

"We develop a core group from within our media analyst list of those that we can count on to carry our water. They become the key go to guys for the networks and it begins to weed out the less reliably friendly analysts by the networks themselves."

    No, the liberal internationalists control the government who controls the media

    Well, good morning, sleepy head. Another robot comes alive. Of course the U.S. government manipulates news media coverage. But this is intermediate-level stuff. From the beginning to this day, the intellectual and financial energy for the global communist revolution has come from wealthy western capitalists. These are the guys that manipulate everything, even persuading us to pay interest for exercising our sovereign right as a nation to issue money. The Federal Reserve is a union of private banks whose monopoly control of monetary policy is enforced by the U.S. government. These wealthy capitalists are not communists. They are international socialists. Their Bible is Plato's Republic. All power is exercised by an elite group of philosopher/kings, whose edicts are enforced by military/police. Everyone else is manager/workers. Having no political responsibility, they need no education beyond vocational training. Plato advised using every available means to destabilize society, clearing the way for the New World Order; and that is where the communists come in.

    These same capitalists control the curriculum at Ivy League Universities, whose graduates control the news media, the Washington Bureaucracy, the CIA, etc. That is why none of you has the slightest idea what our American heritage is all about.

    I am agnostic on the Iraq War. I defer to the President, and God might be telling him to do it. But the liberal Ivy Leaguers who control the State Department have been planning this war for 50 years. In the name of democracy, they are advancing the cause of international tyranny. What they want is for the UN to take charge of the operations in Iraq.
