ON JOURNALISM: I know why the caged birds don't sing

Are you wondering how the Feds control mainstream media in America? I know how they’re doing it. They started with the Judas List.

The entire industry suffers from a new form of regulatory capture. News outlets are controlled by the industry they most need to police: government. It is the job of the news media, what Samuel Johnson called the Fourth Estate, to cast a light on the abuse of citizens by the government. That is arguably the most important duty of the media—but it isn’t happening at all. The news is being controlled.

I know why the caged birds aren’t singing. The Feds employed thousands of Trojan horses. Media companies, whole newsrooms, are controlled from within.

Journalists individually, one by one, also suffer regulatory capture. Have no doubt: journalists are more indoctrinated than anyone else. Most have no thought of reporting on shot injuries or the many failures of the pandemic response. They are brainwashed. It is the corruption of Federal oversight, reporter by reporter.

Imagine the life of a reporter. Journalists draw on official sources all the time. We frequently speak with elected officials and read government press releases. We’re news junkies 24/7/365. News fills the car when we’re driving, then we have news at the kitchen table, along with the nightly cheeseburger.

Employment intensifies how deeply the news imprints us. The newsroom is a hive of activity and discussion, phone interviews, editorial meetings, lunches at the desk. In the early pandemic we were surrounded by voices of ignorance.

A key piece of ignorance? Reporters did not know who was a reliable source of information. They assumed the CDC, WHO and FDA were truthful. They believed the president of the United States. They thought Joe Biden told the truth. He didn’t.

Based on a sample of reporters and editors in the Connecticut River Valley—and a  broad survey of publications—even fewer journalists than the general public understand the shocking manipulations underway in our society. According to a number of online sources, 25 to 30 percent of Americans did not take the jab.

Did 25 percent of journalists also see through the disinformation blizzard? Not a chance.

Five percent of journalists, at most, know of the horrific damages being done by the RNA shots. 1 in 20, at most. They were assaulted by federal propaganda more than anyone else and are more thoroughly brainwashed. But how are whole newsrooms and media companies being controlled?

A landmark court case gives us a clue.

Landry vs. Biden, the most important free speech case in decades (which my fellow journalists seem to know nothing about) demonstrates the federal government went to extraordinary lengths to silence opposition to the official narrative on social media. Two state attorneys general, Schmitt of Missouri and Landry of Louisiana, sued the Biden administration for violating our constitutional rights to free speech on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.

When those social media platforms responded to discovery, the stage of a trial when sources are forced to cough up evidence, it was revealed that “scores of federal officials across at least eleven federal agencies” secretly pressured social media giants to “censor and suppress private speech that federal officials disfavor.”

Secretary Mayorkas of the Department of Homeland Security said the effort to censor Americans occurred “across the federal enterprise.” The conspiracy of censorship included officials in Health and Human Services, Department of Homeland Security, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the CDC, Tony Fauci’s NIAID, and Office of the Surgeon General. Also implicated are the Census Bureau, FDA, FBI, the State Department, Treasury Department, US Election Assistance Commission and numerous White House officials.

Considering the evidence in Landry vs. Biden, it beggars common sense to think the federal government left radio, broadcast news and newspapers unattended. No, the Biden administration made strong, forceful efforts to censor newspapers, TV and radio stations, cable outlets, websites and specialty publications.

How many federal employees are involved in carrying out this subjugation of the media? Hundreds. It is a massive conspiracy to muzzle the press and deceive Americans. But how? How did the federal government silence newspapers and the media en masse? What was the lever?

Advertising contracts. Money.

In March 2021 the Feds kicked off the “We Can Do This” public relations campaign to force feed the ‘safe and effective’ lie to Americans. The campaign was funded for a cool $1 billion in taxpayer money. Media outlets and cultural organizations, such as the AARP, the NBA and NHL, were enlisted to spread the messaging.

The list of participating media outlets—what I call the Judas List—runs to 116 pages. Over 3,900 news outlets, large and small, general and niche, took advertising schedules from the NIH to promote the pandemic response and rave about the shots.

Ad sales managers thought they were helping Americans by taking the twenty pieces of silver. They opened the door for the federal government’s Trojan horse.

Outlets for Black, Asian and Hispanic audiences were targeted, as were local radio and TV stations, websites and cable companies. National brands such as NBC, CBS, CNN, NPR and Fox News took the money. Most every major newspaper from the San Francisco Examiner to the Boston Globe are on the Judas List. They were then controlled by the federal government. They were forced to promote the Big Lie of ‘safe and effective’.

News outlets were happy to jump on the bandwagon. They were then controlled by the federal government through language in advertising contracts. That binding language forbids media companies from running editorial content critical of the shots and the pandemic response. The contractual language served as a lever that allowed the Feds to control even the largest of media companies.

The Feds control media companies from within. The newsrooms were controlled by the managerial suite, the money people.

An ad manager seeing such a controlling clause in a contract, in the early pandemic, wouldn’t give it a second thought. If the outlet then printed a story critical of the shots the company was ‘reminded’ of the contractual language forbidding negative content. They were also warned of the financial consequences if that clause was violated again.

A publisher threatened with a federal lawsuit for breach of contract would be intimidated into compliance. Defending against such a tort could bankrupt smaller publications. Publishers and accountants put their heads together with company attorneys and reached an obvious conclusion: their news would be consistently optimistic about the pandemic response.

Why not? The shots work. Why say anything negative about them? We don’t want to miss our next twenty pieces, do we? The brainwashing of individuals enabled the wholesale control of the newsroom.

An attorney would point out that any contract language that impinges on the right of a newspaper to print information it deems newsworthy is a violation of Constitutional rights to free speech. So what? The company would still be loath to go to court. Against the largest employer in the world? To argue for the right to criticize shots that work? After we took money to say they’re great? When so many elected officials say the shots work?

Legal counsel told them to play ball. Publishers adopted the editorial policy they currently have in place. That policy is to refrain from printing anything negative about the killing shots.

That scenario clarifies how the mainstream media is utterly controlled by the Feds. Now that I’ve presented the theory, my confidence level is 95 percent. There’s an overwhelming likelihood this scenario is correct. This is how the Feds captured and still control the mainstream media in the United States. They fed money to media companies and then enforced the contractual ban on accurate editorial content.

I am not privy to any correspondence between news outlets and the Feds. My FOIA requests were rejected. Rather, this scenario is predicated on the consistent failure to report important pandemic related events by news outlets large and small. The collapse of even the flimsiest appearance of effectiveness—and the clinical findings that undercut any claim of safety are consistently buried. The bean counters and publishers strong-arm the newsrooms into silence, just as they were strong-armed by the Feds.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER: This is a theory. I believe this theory with 95 percent certainty, and offer it as food for thought.

I don’t see many ads these days, for the shots, so I suspect the Feds just send money. But this understanding is based on knowledge of newsrooms and how they work, not on documentation. We see blatant evidence, every day, the industry has become an accomplice in this hideous psychological operation against the American people. But some might say it is not a betrayal. They were duped, misled and manipulated, right?

It is a profound betrayal.

The stakes are too high. While the federal psy-op was more hypnotic for journalists than anyone else, our editorial leaders totally missed the boat. I cannot rationalize their failures. It doesn’t matter if they were ignorant, deceived or purposeful. Their job, their function in society, is to get to the truth. They didn’t. They convinced readers to get the shots, either by parroting lies or omitting desperately needed information. They share the blame for the injuries and deaths of Americans.

Reporters and editors don’t want to know how badly they damaged themselves with the shots. They don’t want to know they were manipulated. They don’t want to know how badly they failed at their craft.

Those reporters and editors missed the greatest opportunity for investigative journalism that will ever present itself. The most embarrassing professional failure of those journalists is the extent they were deceived. They believed the liars wholesale. That is a gross journalistic shortcoming. They are professionally responsible for knowing who is a reliable source. They showed zero competence.

What’s more embarrassing? They missed the story in 2020…but it continued. The story that trumps Watergate, trumps any conspiracy theory I know of, stared them in the face for three years. They still totally missed it. Did they shut down their brains? I can’t say, but I’m disgusted with them.

This will be a permanent embarrassment. People will ask who they sided with during the pandemic. There is no way an editor can explain away three years of professional blindness. Journalists will separate into those who were blind and those who saw. The dead will not remind them. The maimed will speak and the blind will know their crimes. Suffering and grief are the costs we will pay for a very long time.

It is time to build a Fifth Estate. The legacy media, the Fourth Estate, was corrupted by the federal government and failed in its primary duty to police that government. Those companies, and individuals, must pay the price.

(Editorial note: support at $5/month would be greatly appreciated. As is, I can’t get paid for publishing the truth. My employers forbid me to write about shot injuries, the most important story in the world today. Only you can make that happen…on Substack…with a little support. Much appreciated.)
