As a journalist who has covered world leaders, mass murderers, and war zones, the speaker says they have been targeted and falsely accused for almost a decade. They believe the media is in a crisis, facing an age of information warfare where propaganda is the entire battlefield, aided by advanced technology. The speaker contends that journalists betrayed free press principles by attacking one of their own for interviewing the Russian president, and that media companies and journalism schools have failed. Non-profit organizations are allegedly masquerading as non-partisan media watchdogs, acting as political propagandists who crush dissent and free speech. This "cancel culture" is a death sentence enabled by information dominance. The speaker claims that these non-profits are part of a censorship network including government agencies, using deception to mask their actions with goals like preventing misinformation and hate speech. Companies like Facebook, Instagram, and Google have monopoly power, controlling what billions see and hear. The speaker draws a parallel to apartheid South Africa, emphasizing the importance of the First Amendment and warning that the lights of freedom are going out, requiring action to relight them.

Some members of the media use their platforms to push their personal bias and agenda, controlling people's thoughts. This is dangerous.

NewsGuard and GARM pose a serious threat to free speech in the US. NewsGuard's board includes former CIA and NSA heads, working to control the news narrative. They blacklisted 650 news sites during COVID-19 for questioning the origin of the virus. GARM aims to cut funding to alternative news sources spreading misinformation. These organizations collaborate with ad agencies like Publicis Group, which receive taxpayer subsidies. Congress can take action to remove funding from these agencies.

No one openly discusses certain truths, but they are evident. Leads lead. Twitter permanently suspended an account after exposing CNN's hypocrisy. Project Veritas, known for controversial conservative views, has been accused of spreading misinformation. They recently won a defamation case against the New York Times. James O'Keefe is also suing Twitter for defamation after confronting a Facebook executive. He argues that Twitter made false statements about him. Critics label O'Keefe as despicable, noting that some news articles inject personal opinions rather than sticking to facts. This situation reflects Project Veritas's ongoing strategy of promoting misinformation. Ultimately, the truth is not determined by opinions or biases.

Many people don't realize the extent of deception in the media, particularly in choosing which narratives to focus on. Editors decide what stories make the front page, shaping what people pay attention to. It's important for narratives to come from the people themselves, like in the X system, rather than being dictated by a select few.

Media Matters attempted to boycott X (formerly known as Twitter) by claiming that the platform was serving up Neo-Nazi content tied to big brands. However, when the speaker and their team created fake accounts to follow the same pro-Nazi accounts, they were unable to replicate Media Matters' results. They couldn't get any ads served to them, even after following three times more pro-Nazi accounts. The speaker reached out to Media Matters for an explanation but received no response. This suggests that there may be more to the situation than meets the eye.

The speaker states that, based on their experience, the term "fake news" is not strong enough to describe some reporting. They claim that some stories are written with a pre-determined narrative, and facts are then manipulated to fit that narrative. As an example, they cite a New York Times story that claimed the IRS had a 50% headcount decrease. The speaker says that the story used unnamed sources and was intended to create turmoil during tax season.

I have worked in high-profile media roles, faced danger, and been falsely accused. The media faces challenges in the age of information warfare, with censorship and propaganda threatening freedom of speech. Nonprofit organizations act as political propagandists, stifling free thought. Big tech companies wield immense power over what we see and hear. The importance of freedom of speech, especially in the United States, cannot be overstated. The fight for truth and freedom is crucial in the current media landscape.

In the United States, the standard model of journalism, which relies on corporate advertising, imposes severe restraints on media outlets. Journalists are limited in what they can say to avoid offending corporate advertisers. This restricts the opinions, perspectives, and reporting that can be aired. It is ironic that journalists, who should value their freedom to speak, are shocked when someone like Elon Musk tells corporations to go fuck themselves for trying to control political content. The problem lies with journalists who serve establishment power instead of challenging it. The corporatization of media has imported a culture of avoiding controversy and pleasing powerful people, leading to a lack of courage among journalists.

The speaker watched news coverage claiming the man arrested for attempting to murder Trump was a Trump supporter. Lindsey Graham blamed Iran. However, the speaker says the would-be assassin's politics align with Graham's, as he is a neocon who volunteered in Ukraine. The speaker believes the media is lying by omission, distorting reality, and preventing the average person from knowing the truth. The attempted assassin was interviewed by every major media outlet and has a lengthy criminal record, yet The New York Times portrayed him as a "freedom fighter" in Ukraine and detailed his contacts with US government agencies. The speaker fears this information will be memory-holed, and the public will be misled into believing a false narrative.

Freedom of speech is under attack, with a censorship industrial complex choking expression and debate. Federal and state governments fund censorship technology, directing big tech to censor speech. Academic institutions research disinformation for the censorship regime, and think tanks groom journalists to promote pro-censorship propaganda. Nonprofit censorship groups produce blacklists to favor left-wing media and silence dissenting voices. The Federalist has been targeted for critiquing corporate media coverage of Black Lives Matter riots, which caused over $2 billion in damages. A House report documented Stanford's collusion with government entities to censor information, including political reporting. 70% of Americans distrust corporate media. Blacklists from groups like NewsGuard rate left-wing outlets higher than those challenging orthodoxies, impacting advertising revenue. The Federalist exposed the Russia collusion hoax and media lies against Justice Kavanaugh, even suing the State Department for promoting censorship tools. Despite facing censorship, The Federalist will continue reporting the truth.

I spent years researching and watching lengthy videos to understand the influence of organizations like the Atlantic Council, which is heavily funded by U.S. government agencies, including the CIA and the Pentagon. This group trains journalists to identify and censor disinformation, particularly targeting populist narratives like those of Donald Trump and Brexit. They promote a framework called the "four D's" of disinformation: dismiss, distort, distract, and dismay. This framework allows them to label factually true information as disinformation if it undermines government narratives. The Atlantic Council's connections to high-ranking CIA officials and its role in shaping media narratives illustrate a troubling intersection of government and media, aiming to control public discourse and influence political outcomes.

NewsGuard, an organization that claims to guard against false narratives online, is actually a tool used by the national security state to control information and suppress alternative news sources. It was created in 2017 by a defense diplomacy intelligence axis to combat the rise of alternative news after the 2016 election. NewsGuard operates similarly to a system implemented in Eastern European countries, where news sources are categorized as blacklisted, whitelisted, or gray listed based on their alignment with NATO propaganda. NewsGuard's board of advisors includes former heads of NATO, CIA, NSA, DHS, and the State Department's Global Engagement Center. They have blacklisted thousands of web pages, including those questioning COVID origins or spreading conspiracy theories. This reveals a concerning level of censorship by the national security establishment.

Unheard attended a parliamentary hearing on the future of news and discussed the issue of disinformation. They discovered a worldwide system of censorship that blocks certain websites from receiving ad revenue. Unheard was placed on the Global Disinformation Index's exclusion list, despite publishing well-known writers and interviewing influential figures. The GDI defines disinformation as narratives that are adversarial, even if factually accurate. The GDI is a government-funded organization that receives money from various sources. Unheard argues that this type of censorship is dangerous and stifles important discussions. They urge individuals and companies to be aware of where their ad dollars are going and to support independent media.

In the United States, the standard model of journalism, which relies on corporate advertising, imposes severe restraints on media outlets. This limits the hiring of certain journalists and restricts the opinions, perspectives, and reporting that can be aired. Journalists should value their freedom to speak, but many are afraid to challenge corporate advertisers. The recent controversy involving Elon Musk telling corporations to "go fuck yourself" for trying to control political content highlights the lack of journalists willing to stand up to such limitations. The corporatization of media has led to a culture of avoiding controversy and pleasing powerful people, resulting in a lack of courage among journalists.

An anchor in California shared that news reporters often feel compelled to present scripted narratives they know are false to maintain access to press briefings. This pressure limits coverage of California's issues, as local stations fear losing invitations and viewership. The censorship seen on platforms like Twitter and Meta mirrors what occurs in local news. When Meta resisted pressure from the Biden administration, it faced legal challenges, highlighting the risks for smaller stations that might be sued by state officials. This environment stifles honest reporting and critical coverage of local problems.

The discussion focuses on the idea that new “COVIDs” could emerge in the form of ticks, specifically ticks that cause a rare dangerous red meat allergy. The speakers reference that this concept has been heard before, including at Davos. The question raised is what precautions people can take against ticks that trigger red meat allergy. Speaker 1 argues that the phenomenon could involve human engineering, suggesting that people can become intolerant or allergic to certain foods or proteins, and that there may be analogs in nature. Speaker 1 cites existing examples of intolerances, including milk intolerance and intolerance to crayfish. Speaker 1 then points to a specific example: the lone star tick. Speaker 1 says that if the lone star tick bites you, “you will become allergic to meat,” and indicates that the mechanism can be described. Speaker 1 frames this as something that could be done through “human engineering,” claiming that it might be possible to make it the case that people become intolerant to certain kinds of meat or certain kinds of bovine proteins, and also states that addressing “really big world problems” might be possible through human engineering. Speaker 0 then shifts to a discussion of messaging and media influence, saying that Tucker Carlson—described as “controlled opposition”—came out and told some of the truth, that this “is part of what controlled opposition does,” and that it involves telling people some of the truth “in your face,” but “most people won’t even listen.” Speaker 2 provides additional claims about tick-borne disease and alleged historical activity. Speaker 2 says that the “same organism” causes Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and calls it “the most deadly tick borne disease in The United States.” Speaker 2 also states that it was a germ being weaponized by the US military “at the time,” and that they tried to “stuff it in ticks.” Speaker 2 then asks what tick weaponization is, and recounts comments attributed to Willie. According to Speaker 2, Willie said he spent “over a decade” in the biological weapons program, as a contractor to Fort Detrick, working on weaponizing fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes. Speaker 2 says that Willie’s work involved mass-producing them, “trying to make new diseases,” and “mixing bacteria and virus in ticks,” with the intent described as “the perfect stealth weapon,” likened to “poor poor man’s nuke.” Speaker 0 responds by saying the material is hard to digest and “so evil,” and that it is hard to believe it could happen in the United States. Speaker 0 then agrees with the earlier point that it did “and maybe,” but the statement ends there.

Yesterday, Donald Trump banned the Associated Press from the White House because it declines to call the Gulf Of Mexico the Gulf Of America. This is press censorship based on viewpoint discrimination. During Trump's presidency, the DOD kicked out news groups from the Pentagon that asked skeptical questions, including the New York Times, NBC News, and the Washington Post. These organizations were replaced by outlets willing to advance the party line of the states, like Breitbart and One American News Network.

Unheard attended a parliamentary hearing on the future of news and discussed the issue of disinformation. They discovered a global system of censorship that blocks certain websites from receiving ads. Unheard was placed on the Global Disinformation Index's exclusion list, despite publishing reputable content. The GDI defines disinformation as adversarial narratives, which allows them to target publications they disagree with. The GDI is funded by various governments and organizations, including the UK government. They determine what is considered disinformation and have listed conservative-leaning websites as the most dangerous. Legal action has been taken against the GDI for infringing on First Amendment rights. The problem of censorship extends beyond the GDI, and it is important for individuals and companies to be aware of where their ad dollars are going.

Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, released new evidence alleging that former President Barack Obama and top aides conspired to subvert President Trump’s February victory and undermine the democratic will of the American people. The speaker asserts that while Obama publicly appeared to support a peaceful transfer of power, privately he took steps to sow discord and sabotage Trump, including manufacturing and politicizing intelligence that was used to justify baseless smears against the new president. The claim is that Trump had no involvement with Russia and that the Russia collusion narrative was a massive fraud, known to Obama and others involved, including former CIA director John Brennan, former DNI James Clapper, former FBI director James Comey, former deputy director Andrew McCabe, and others. The speaker reiterates that DNI Gabbard’s report confirms there was no collusion or corruption by Trump, attributing any wrongdoing to Barack Obama and the “weaponized” intelligence agencies of the time. The Russia hoax is characterized as a blatant lie manufactured by Democrat political operatives, approved by Obama, and leaked to the media to launch a years-long witch hunt against Trump in his first administration. Allies of the president, including Donald Trump Jr., were smeared as Russian assets, with some personally harmed by the false narrative. The speaker notes that much of this occurred during Trump’s first two years in office, consuming vast resources, time, and political capital to debunk the allegations at the highest levels of government. According to the speaker, nearly a decade later, declassification of documents by DNI Gabbard, alongside contributions from CIA Director Ratcliffe and committee Chairman Rick Crawford, supports a newly declassified 2020 report from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. This report reportedly found the intel community did not have direct information that Vladimir Putin sought to help elect Trump in 2016; instead, Russia was allegedly preparing for a Hillary Clinton victory. The narrative claims that, at the time, Obama’s unusual stance led the intel community to publish implausible intelligence to sabotage the incoming president. The speaker asserts this constitutes one of the greatest political scandals in American history, noting that legacy media outlets such as the New York Times and the Washington Post were rewarded with Pulitzer Prizes for propagating political disinformation. The claim is made that those awards should be stripped from journalists who disseminated out-of-context and false intelligence to push a political narrative in service of the Democrats and associated intelligence actors.

Global media reporting is often synchronized. Biased and false news has become all too common on social media. More alarming, some media outlets publish these same fake stories without checking

In 2008, an AP staffer says he was the first to erase information from a story due to threats from Hamas. The detail removed stated that Hamas fighters dressed as civilians were being counted as civilians in the death toll. The staffer says he suggested an editor's note about complying with Hamas censorship but was overruled. Since then, the AP and other organizations allegedly collaborate with Hamas censorship in Gaza, focusing on civilian casualties while obscuring militant deaths and Hamas's military strategy. Casualty numbers are reportedly provided by the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry, shaping the narrative. The speaker claims the press has become an amplifier for Hamas's ideology. All reporters in Gaza are Palestinian, and they allegedly either identify with, are intimidated by, or belong to Hamas. The speaker suggests this dynamic results in biased reporting that portrays Israel negatively.
