Propaganda and Media Manipulation 101 and My Experiences of Corporate Media Censorship

Some of you may have noticed that I have been writing on the subject of censorship for some period of time. The reason this blog was created was due to censorship on al.com's Scottsboro Forum. Censorship has taken place in local Face Book Groups. Some of the censorship has taken on threatening intimidating forms, including terrorist threats.

It has became apparent that there is an intentional effort on the part of local corporate media and political parties to keep the citizenry in a state of  "perptual mushroomitis" - feeding citizens crap and keeping them in the dark. This post concerns the reasoning and strategy for seemingly ridiculous attacks by anonymous parties and media propaganda . 

When the attacks of slander, defamation, threats and intimidation are closely examined and applied to a corrupted media/political system's communications processes of disinformation and propaganda another piece of the puzzle falls into place. It causes this writer to question the intent of criminal acts and why they were not investigated by authorities, although complaints were filed. Reference:


The problem is bigger than verbal threats and harassment by anonymous parties utilizing a news media's forum to convey threats and harassment.

Why would persons or corporate media be concerned about a blogger?  The independent blogger's story is an individual story about his or her perceptions of reality and life around us, it is not a corporate image laden with hidden agendas of corporations and government entities. I'm conveying to you my perception of political and news worthy events around me; including the interjection of my opinions on this blog, Face Book, forums and directly into the political process, this seems to upset some folks who go to extremes to wage personal attacks.

As we examine our history, which includes murdered Jackson County Sheriff Matt Wann, 1932         ( story of Matt Wann http://scottsborostories.blogspot.com/2010/10/sheriff-matt-wann-brave-man-and-untold.html ) no prosecution of the known perpetrator and the claim by law enforcement that there are no records about the Sheriff's murder case. This leads me to wonder, has a black veil of secrecy and corruption fallen over Jackson County and Scottsboro,  and how does this past history affect our community today? 

The extent of vicious verbal group attacks by whites on Face Book sites relating to Scottsboro History, when the group's members are reminded of the exclusionary history of Scottsboro, reveals that  mob mentality and delusional group peer pressure is present and facilitates a continuation of a racist culture.

When you add in intentional lies by prominent local citizens which resulted in me being questioned by the local Sheriff's Department in 2003 due to my filing of complaints against  politicians which included theft of property, embezzlement, etc. more of the puzzle falls into place.

Corporate media propaganda and political intimidation have a purpose, it is to deceive you the citizen and isolate you the citizen from REAL NEWS and EVENTS occurring in our society. 

When persons outside of the corporate media and political structure come forward, such as bloggers, to report news and current events, it has been my experience local independent news reporters are threatened, intimidated and slandered, which has occurred in my case.  

The below lecture by Dr. Jerry Kroth concerns the propaganda and manipulation of news and how it affects you in today's  world. I relate my above experiences as an indication of problems in our local culture and how censorship and propaganda tie into the news you receive from the formal media.

                   CORPORATE MEDIA PROPAGANDA &

The methods of media propaganda and your manipulation: 1) reframing; 2)repeated affirmations; 3) vicariousness; 4) distractions and denial; 5) Classical and operant conditioning.

This is a video on the psychology of propaganda. Prof. Kroth reviews five major techniques for how American mass media manipulates and twists the view Americans have of their world. The seriousness of the distortion, and our progressive loss of contact with reality is dramatic. We are increasingly living inside a media-induced trance without knowing it. Children believe Ronald MacDonald is more real than Abraham Lincoln. From Coke to Carl's Jr., Hip-hop to the Iraq war, the role of subliminal propaganda in our lives is unveiled and exposed. This talk is based on Dr. Kroth's recent book, Duped! Delusion, Denial, and the end of the American dream (Genotype, 2013).

Tyrants at it Again

Once again the New Jersey Media Moguls, Advance Internet, al.com, in conjunction with the local Democrat Party and the TVA have engaged in their common practice of censorship. Previously the censors would temporarily ban the poster. This time around it is a permanent ban, elimination of the account. This is the 11th instance of political censorship, which I'm aware, that has resulted in the removal of citizens accounts that were discussing topics of a political nature and not in violation of al.com's forum policy.

>

Subjects discussed this time around: Lowell Barron, local Democrat Party lies, TVA and Nuclear Energy Institute, dangers of nuclear power, Browns Ferry problems, TVA secret financing scheme for nuclear reactors, criminal Acts of the Democrat and Republican Parties and abortion. All postings were removed, discussion of these issues and the poster "orobsttocs1" has been permanently banned. This blog, "Watch for Snakes 'n Scottsboro," was formed due to corporate media and government censorship of political speech. Bringing to the public's attention the actions of large corporate media, politicians, governments officials and corporate entities who would endeavor to censor responsible political speech in the United States of America.

>>

It would seem the local Democrat Political powers, the TVA along with the Nuclear Energy Institute and Advance Media/Internet, al.com, do not care for freedom of expression and reasonable discussion of these issues. They are tyrants of the sort which King George would have been proud. It makes me sick that our country and national media has become a tool for corporate politicians and their corporate handler's schemes of deception. Even more sickening is the fact that many of my fellow citizens continue to elect and tolerate criminal politicians and the mountains of lies they generate. It seems that citizens have came to accept and expect that their political leaders will lie and commit crime.

>>>

Locally, when unsavory and sometimes criminal acts are shown to have been committed by local politicians and institutions such as the TVA, their corporate handlers perform their acts of tyranny and arrange for local forum postings on al.com to be removed. That is the reason for this blog as there is an active attempt to block citizen thoughts placed into speech. It seems the idea of open expression about political entities and the media is an unbearable conversation for some of our community and corporate leaders.

>>>>

In Scottsboro, Alabama all this expression and open discussion is a relatively new tool in the support of citizen involvement, education and responsible expression. The local Democrat Party tyrants have attempted to "keep the citizens in their place." It has only been within the past 6 years that responsible citizen speech was allowed at the Scottsboro City Council Meetings, the County Commission still does not allow open citizen speech to express concerns at its meetings. Many times I have been told, "leave town if you don't like the local Democrat Party."

>>>>>

Al.com Scottsboro forum only came about within the past 3 years. There is a battle to control political speech on the Scottsboro al.com forum. If the speech doesn't agree with local politicians, local corporate media's slant, or support corporations such as the TVA, the speech is removed, censored.

>>>>>>

It has been evident that the speech removal was the result of government officials intervention. In one instance government officials were caught in the act of censorship concerning discussion of illegal acts concerning management of Goosepond Colony, freely admitting the deed, as if government initiated censorship is a respectable thing to do and not a violation of an individual's rights and the denigration of our community. Corporate media in conjunction with political parties have become the facilitator of creating human mushrooms - "keep them in the dark and feed them crap."

Most U.S. citizens are sick and tired of the same old crap from the same old politicians. Unfortunately, Mr. Obama is another same old politician with different window dressing which appeals to young voters and those who believe they are disenfranchised. The embracing of deciet on the part of citizens from our elected officials is disturbing. But, even more disturbing are the lies that are told daily from politicians and the media. Our country is headed toward a destructive course of political and financial ruin which we may not recover. If we do recover the protections of Constitutional Law may be abandoned. In fact many of those protections are already in the process of abandonment as depicted in these videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wJsovPRTEM&NR=1 (part2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5NJoZRYOJk&feature=related

New Jersey Media Mogul Controls Alabama News Papers

The largest privately owned news media organization in the United States. This Jersey media mogul controls 3 major newspapers located strategically in Huntsville, Birmingham and Mobile, Alabama. http://cjrarchives.org/tools/owners/advance.asp A billion dollar mogul who owns the largest internet news and discussion forum in Alabama, "al.com," to include news and discussion forums in many other states. A fact that places this media corporation in a unique position to control regional political news and discussion through intensive media propaganda and discussion front campaigns. This media giant's services are for hire. Pseudo-discussion and information services structured toward political agendas. Structured news with a political agenda, propaganda. A tool for the politician instead of information, news and discussion for the citizen.

Who is this media giant? Advance Publications. http://www.forbes.com/lists/2006/21/biz_06privates_Advance-Publications_9UC7.html Representative: http://www.nj.com/sopranos/ If you asked the question, what does Alabama and New Jersey have in common? Newspapers and criminal politicians.

Then there is this.

Now to realize what it is all about. A sad day in deed, "I shed a tear in the realization that tyrany has risen and no one said no to the tyrant." A few facts in video form: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wJsovPRTEM&NR=1 part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5NJoZRYOJk&feature=related

Corporate media censorship and Government censorship. How easily the two become entwined. How easily corporate media censors public speech. I guess they are following the example of the House of Representatives, or is it the corporate media setting the example for the House? It seems some of our governmental bureaucrats and strategists have realized the way to censor the public and insure repetitive re-election of political officials is to structure the media corporation in such a fashion that the corporate media giants control public speech and what the public hears, sees and reads. The internet serves as a barrier to tyrany and a pipeline to world wide information and knowledge. The "net" also provides an alternative means of mass and individual communications aside from the routine status quo of corporate media's structured news, propaganda and information exchange.
