Why Independent Media Is So Important
Why Independent Media Is Important

“The way that people
view the world is greatly shaped by the ‘news’ that they see on television and
read on the Internet. Unfortunately, much of that ‘news’ is produced by
just five enormous corporations. In fact, although the numbers vary from
month to month, more than 90 percent of
the ‘news’ that Americans watch on television is controlled by those five
corporations. Smaller outlets such as Newsmax are trying to make a dent,
but it is an uphill battle. Internet news is more diversified, but in
conjunction with the 15 billionaires that
own and control America’s
newspaper industry, the same five corporations have come to dominate online as
well. The tech giants have certainly helped their cause by designating
them as ‘trusted sources’ and by adjusting algorithms to ensure that we get a
steady diet of the ‘news’ that the media giants are constantly putting
out. The entire system is designed to direct us to certain voices, and
those voices are constantly working very hard to alter what we think about
things.” Over 90%.Of the News You See on Television Is Owned and Controlled
By Just 5 Giant Corporations- Michael Snyder https://www.globalresearch.ca/over-90-news-television-owned-controlled-just-5-giant-corporations/5747315
Today in
the U.S.
almost all of the news images and “information” we see, hear and read is owned
and controlled by a handful of billionaire’s and their corporations! While
there are minor differences in philosophy amongst some of these newspapers,
magazines, radio and television stations, cable and satellite content
providers, one thing is for sure, these media outlets definitely present the
worldview of their uber rich owners and their peers. Contrary to popular belief
the airways are not really public domain as we the people have little or no say
in how they are regulated, or about the quality of their content, the values
and worldview they promote. So in effect they promote a unilateral worldview
and “reality” created not by us but by the well connected and rich elites who
own the media! In the US and much of
the world there is no democratic media!
“Monopoly of media outlets such as
newspapers, film, television, radio, and satellite broadcasting, may be on a
national or international level. Monopoly may be commercial or governmental, in
which case it may be used directly or indirectly for propaganda purposes.
Commercial monopoly may restrict freedom of expression according to the
tolerance of its advertising clientele, may produce material only for the
majority audience, or may use broadcasting to favour commercial interests.
Media monopoly may facilitate repression and political control, and the
continuance of existing inequalities, injustices and exploitation.” The
Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential http://encyclopedia.uia.org/en/problem/140412
We are
witnessing the very repressions and restrictions of the free flow of ideas and
information the Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential warns us about.
We see it in the deplatforming of people from Google Twitter, Facebook and the
blatant pro-corporatist censorship in the print, over the air media and the Internet
of anyone who dissents or questions the COVID narrative or questions the actual
state of the US and global economies. These are merely two examples of the
totalitarian power of monopolies.
Thank THE
CREATOR for independent media. Without it we would be subject to non-stop,
incessant mind numbing propaganda and sophisticated mind entrainment without recourse
or options for alternative information. With the increasing polarization,
partisanship and divisiveness in this country, we need media that is on our side,
newspapers, magazines, Online outlets and radio that tell our story, shares the
truth, provides good news and information about our communities and is fearless
on our behalf. We desperately need columnists who are rooted and grounded in
our communities who have the pulse of the neighborhoods and our interests at
heart especially when our issues conflict with those of the dominant society or
corporate special interests as they usually do!
Independent
Black media is a treasure. You can help keep it afloat by sending a donation, getting a subscription when one is offered, strengthen
it by buying ads and supporting the businesses and services that advertise in
independent Black media. Of course we need to share it with our family and
friends. In this era of consolidation and monopoly, independent Black media is
an oasis in a barren desert of propaganda and deceit.

“Recent evidence suggests
that people, who are kept in isolation and quarantine experience significant
levels of anxiety, anger, confusion, and stress. At large, all of the studies
that have examined the psychological disorders during the COVID-19 pandemic
have reported that the affected individuals show several symptoms of mental
trauma, such as emotional distress, depression, stress, mood swings,
irritability, insomnia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, post-traumatic
stress, and anger.” Prevalence of
stress, anxiety, depression among the general population during the COVID-19
pandemic: a systematic review and meta-analysis by N Salari, A Far- Hosseinian-Far, R. A., Jalali, R. https://globalizationandhealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12992-020-00589-w#citeas
My theory is the rash of violence sweeping our nation
especially in the urban areas, the rise in substance abuse and the spike in
mental health crisis are directly related to the global COVID -19 media blitz
and the resulting “mitigation polices”. The violence is not so much from the COVID-19
infection itself because for the most part the recovery rates were high and the
fatality rates were low for people who were in good health with no serious
co-morbidities. The violence is a maladaptive response to the chronic stress
from the media fear mongering and economic disruptions caused by the lockdowns.
Most
people were adversely impacted by their own thoughts and feelings not the
virus! The feeling of not being in control of one’s life, the economic
uncertainty and hardship, the frustration and the anger from the arbitrary and
dictatorial policies enacted by elected official and bureaucrats that go
against both common sense and all previous epidemic mitigation modalities.
Is
it possible this was deliberately designed and done to induce fear, panic,
hysteria and psychosis in the population?! If so why? My conclusion is yes! It
was done to induce psychosis a zombie/cult like belief in a virus that was
nowhere near as lethal and contagious as we were being told it was. We were set
up so we would demand and readily accept Big Pharma’s vaccines; problem
reaction solution model, order out of chaos.
For
fifteen months people were locked in medical martial law subjected to non-stop
doses of daily doom and gloom, skyrocketing case number reports that were
written to infer these “cases” were actual infections when in fact those case numbers
were based on extremely unreliable tests not designed to be diagnostic or
predictive tools. Algorithm modeling was
also used but their numbers were way out of line with the facts and postulated
by folks whose track record for accuracy was abysmally low!
World
leaders and public health officials believed these Chicken Little reports and
arbitrarily enacted Draconian policies that did nothing to “flatten the curve”
but devastated the economies of their countries!
Is it
possible they merely made a mistake that they acted in error or used poor
judgment? No, there is no way over ninety world leaders all acted in error. Notice
how the global media demonized national leaders and governments who didn’t go
along with the lock down martial law policies. Governments like: Belarus, Sweden,
Tanzania, Finland and Brazil were mocked and ridiculed
even though several had lower infections than the lock down countries.
The
misanthropes and megalomaniacs elites have been plotting and planning pandemic scenarios
like this for decades. https://thefreedomarticles.com/9-simulations-drills-laws-prepared-for-the-coronavirus/,
https://www.activistpost.com/2021/06/paving-the-way-for-the-ronascam.html. But
despite their plans, gaming and table top scenarios, world leaders appeared
totally unprepared and out of it, why? How and why did this take them by
surprise when they game planned it all of 2019 for example? https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/03/pandemic-coronavirus-united-states-trump-cdc/608215/
The “surprise”
was all part of the charade and con. Why would our “leaders” do something like
that? They did it to acquire unfettered power, to enrich themselves and
re-engineer society in ways that could not otherwise be done absent an
“existential threat”. There is too much money to be made and there are too many
comingling/complementary agendas being furthered to think this is all a mistake
or that the oligarchs were caught totally off guard. The psychopathic global
elites needed an event to launch their agendas on a dumbed down, traumatized, fear
distracted and paralyzed populous.
Why? Hysterical
people are in fight flight mode, they are disorganized and discombobulated,
easily manipulated. “A wide range of psychological outcomes
have been observed during the Virus outbreak, at individual, community,
national, and international levels. At the individual level, people are more likely
to experience fear of getting sick or dying, feeling helpless, and being
stereotyped by others . The pandemic has had a harmful effect on the public
mental health which can even lead to psychological crises.” Prevalence

Panicked people don’t think they
react and in this case we reacted to stimuli readily provided by the giant
media and digital conglomerates that control most of what we see, hear and
read; that are owned/fronted by a handful of investment and banking
conglomerates that also own most of the world https://internationalbusinessguide.org/corporations/.
Many people refuse to believe there are creatures this evil, this conniving and
wicked in the world; believe it! Human history has shown there are psychopaths
and evil doers aplenty.

The Significance of Juneteenth
The Significance of Juneteenth
Junious Ricardo
Stanton
“Juneteenth (short for “June Nineteenth”) marks the day when
federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to take
control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed. The troops’
arrival came a full two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation
Proclamation. Juneteenth honors the end to slavery in the United States
and is considered the longest-running African American holiday.” What is Juneteenth? Elizabeth Nix https://www.history.com/news/what-is-juneteenth
As we pause
to celebrate Juneteenth which many maintain is the longest continuously running
indigenous African-American celebration, we need to be clear on what it
is and why we are celebrating it! We have been lied to about our history in
this nation, Africa and the world. We need to know the truth and see it from our
point of view as our adversaries step up their attempts to suppress this truth.
Juneteenth is an honest day of celebration
for us. Contrary to what we have been told and taught Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation actually freed
no enslaved people! It was a disingenuous PR stunt by President Abraham Lincoln
who was an avowed white supremacist at a time when the War Between the States wasn’t going well for the North. Lincoln was in a desperate situation: ten states had
succeeded from the Union, they set up their
own government taking the cotton economy and wealth with them and the war was
unpopular with many Northern whites who were resisting conscription (being
drafted) into the Union Army. Lincoln was faced with a war effort that was not going
well and the eminent possibility of Britain
and France
entering the war on the side of the Confederacy which would have greatly exacerbated
his woes.
On January 1,1863 Lincoln issued an Executive Order called the Emancipation Proclamation that was
directed at the enslaved people in the ten Confederate States that had formed a
separate sovereign nation by establishing its own government with laws, money
and an economy founded on the free labor of our enslaved ancestors. Lincoln however, viewed the Confederacy as an area of
rebellion which was the basis for his Executive Order; but in fact Lincoln had no authority
to pronounce laws on the Confederacy since it was a autonomous entity.
“As Lincoln’s decree applied only to territory
outside the realm of his control, the Emancipation Proclamation had little
actual effect on freeing any of the nation’s enslaved people. But its symbolic
power was enormous, as it announced freedom for enslaved people as one of the
North’s war aims, alongside preserving the Union
itself. It also had practical effects: Nations like Britain
and France,
which had previously considered supporting the Confederacy to expand their
power and influence, backed off due to their steadfast opposition to slavery.
Black Americans were permitted to serve in the Union Army for the first time,
and nearly 200,000 would do so by the end of the war.” https://www.history.com/topics/american-civil-war/emancipation-proclamation
The Emancipation Proclamation did
signal hope for our enslaved ancestors and they abandoned the plantation and fields
and flocked to Union Army camps once the Union
penetrated into the Confederacy. The executive order did pave the way for
Blacks to serve in the Union Army and Navy which greatly helped the Union war
effort and Lincoln
tied the war to the issue of slavery. However Lincoln’s
order did not apply to or free our ancestors who were languishing in brutal
bondage in the Union Border States of Maryland, Kentucky
and Missouri or Union
controlled Confederate territory!
Lincoln’s determination to aggressively fight
the war by continually changing generals plus the infusion of over 200,000
Black soldiers, sailors and support personnel into the Union forces essentially
turned the tide of the war! The Confederacy was unable to sustain the early
momentum and psychological advantages it had gained and their failure to secure
direct foreign military support doomed their efforts. Confederate General Robert
E. Lee surrendered to Union General Ulysses Grant near Appomattox Courthouse on
April 9, 1865.
There was sporadic fighting after
Lee surrendered in April. The final recorded battle took place on Palmito Ranch
in Texas on
May 12-13, 1865. When additional Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay Texas
on June Nineteenth 1865 to take control of the state they
announced the war was over and slavery was ended. Our enslaved ancestors
rejoiced and marked that date as the official end of slavery for them.
For a long time Juneteenth was only
celebrated in Galveston Texas, they called it Emancipation Day. Today we celebrate this date as a national
holiday. More and more African-Americans are becoming aware of the significance
of Juneteenth and making it a meaningful holiday for us as opposed to say the
Fourth of July.
What are some important take aways
we can glean from Juneteenth? First within the overall context of the War
Between the States we know people of African descent aggressively pushed for
and were finally granted an opportunity to fight for their/our freedom. Lincoln’s Executive Order
aka The Emancipation Proclamation allowed Blacks to serve in the military and
we did. Over 200,000 Black soldiers, seaman and support personnel were
essential in the North’s victory!
We shortened June Nineteenth to
Juneteenth which is so like us, so cultural and so Black! Most importantly Juneteenth
is an opportunity for us to celebrate something that directly impacted/affected
us as opposed to celebrating other people’s cultural and religious holidays.
This year Juneteenth falls on June 19th, so celebrate enjoy it and
be grateful.

COVID Contradictions and Inconsistencies
COVID Contradictions and Inconsistencies
Junious Ricardo
Stanton
“Vaccine billionaires
are being created as stocks in pharmaceutical firms rise rapidly in expectation
of huge profits from the COVID-19 vaccines over which these firms have monopoly
control. The alliance warned that these monopolies allow pharmaceutical
corporations total control over the supply and price of vaccines, pushing up
their profits while making it harder for poor countries, in particular, to
secure the stocks they need.” https://www.commondreams.org/newswire/2021/05/20/covid-vaccines-create-9-new-billionaires-combined-wealth-greater-cost
If and when
we open our eyes we will see extremely alarming trends surrounding COVID-19.
Currently we are seeing a renewed push to investigate the US’ role in funding Gain of Function research in
Wuhan China and Dr Anthony Fauci’s role
in this process. As I reported months ago Gain of Function Research is a
euphemism for biological warfare, in reality it is creating lethal pathogens
that can target humans and animals, be transmitted between species, via the air
or other mediums. Gain of Function Research is about creating lethal
Bioweapons.
I have also
written about censorship and suppression in the age of COVID where the global oligarchs,
their government lackeys, their media and digital platforms repress any
questions or dissent to their COVID narrative. We can see they actively planned
and executed this policy in accordance to the global oligarch’s 2019 Event 201 simulation recommendation
number seven. https://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/recommendations.html
The ruling class employs a bevy of
“fact checkers”, pundits, talking heads and propagandists whose job is to
immediately spring into action when anyone anywhere raises questions or asserts
a differing opinion from the approved and sanctioned COVID narrative; that it
is a lethal 21st century plague and the only solution is
vaccination. Their responsibility is to suppress, mock, distort and otherwise
suppress any and all dissent. Their job is to control the narrative.
I myself have experienced their censorship;
YouTube took down one of my posts about COVID mitigation policy and warned me I
could face being dropped if I continued. I appealed and lost. Now I still say
what I want to, but I say it in a more subtle manner so as not to garner
attention.
Up until recently these flunkies ran to the cover
for the proponents of the COVID narrative. But something is happening, the tide
is turning. We are seeing three champions of the COVID medical martial law and
innoculatons taking hits in the media: New York Governor Andrew Cuomo,
billionaire second generation eugenicist Bill Gates and Dr. Anthony Fauci the
long time head of the National Institute
of Allergy and Infectious Disease an unabashed shill for Big Pharma and vaccines.
Cuomo is under scrutiny due to alleged
inappropriate sexual behavior towards female staffers the usual tactics once a
public figure has been targeted for demonization and take down. Ironically
Cuomo’s sexual impropriety is being mentioned but not his COVID policies that
resulted in hundreds of deaths in New
York state nursing homes and long term care facilities.
Bill Gates’ pending divorce and his
relationship with Jeffrey Epstein is in the news but not his eugenic policies
and his profiteering off of potentially harmful vaccines around the world. And
of course Fauci is under fire for his role in funding Gain of Function Research
in Wuhan China and his flip flopping over
mitigations therapies!
Also the actual safety of these
experimental mRNA COVID injections is now being questioned but not extensively.
Most people don’t know the required Phase III clinical trials are still ongoing
and will not be completed until 2023 or that these inoculations were only given
Emergency Use authorization as a way to circumvent the long term testing
process to get them to market ASAP! Most people are unaware of Pfizer and Johnson
and Johnson’s lengthy history of civil and criminal fines and penalties. https://www.pharmaceuticalprocessingworld.com/gsk-pfizer-and-jj-among-the-most-fined-drug-companies-according-to-study/
Fox News host Tucker Carlson raised
that issue two weeks ago https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-how-many-americans-have-died-after-taking-the-covid-vaccine
. In response the “fact check” reactionary media mandarins hastily set out to
trivialize everything he said. Here is a sampling: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/tucker-carlson-denies-doubting-vaccine-034444194.html,
https://freespeech.org/stories/fauci-slams-tucker-carlson-typical-crazy-conspiracy-theory/.
For the record I am not a Fox News
or Tucker Carlson fan, I am a supporter of investigative reporting and truth no
matter who conducts it or says it. Here is what you are not getting in the
corporate media or monopoly digital platforms: the COVID injections are a
monopoly given to select pharmaceutical companies who were allowed to market
their experimental inoculations without completing long term longitudinal
safety studies and these injections are not free, they are being paid for by us
the US
taxpayers!
Even more alarmingly, the safety and effectiveness
of these experimental injections is being dismissed, suppressed and censored: https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2021/05/30/covid-19-vaccines-causing-damage.aspx
