While mainstream media (as opposed to the Internet and more traditional delivery systems of alternative media, which is usually run by small companies and entrepreneurs) seems quite vibrant and widespread, it is actually consolidated and tightly held. Globally, according to the New Internationalist Magazine (and website) large media conglomerates include: Viacom, CBS Corporation, Time Warner, News Corp, Bertelsmann AG, Sony, General Electric, Vivendi SA, The Walt Disney Company, Hearst Corporation, Organizações Globo and Lagardère Group.
While such lists fluctuate, each of the above own media properties – television, cinema, book publishers and magazines and newspapers in dozens of companies. It is estimated that just four companies – Time Warner, News Corp, Bertelsmann AG and Walt Disney – control over 50 percent of all major media properties. Populations in the West (and the rest of the world) can effectively be swayed by the messages that these four media giants are sending – not that these four are alone in their efforts. This provides enormous control as messaging can be sent out on a relatively consistent basis, reaching billions within a very short period of time.
Many of the messages that are provided to the West and the rest of the world tend to reinforce the dominant social themes of the Anglo-American power elite. In fact it has been argued that the Anglosphere itself (a tightly knit group of banking families) controls these giant media enterprises at an arms length. What is certainly true is that mainstream media tends to promote the fear-based propaganda in which the elites specialize. Such fear-based promotions are intended to push Western middle classes to give up wealth and power, which is then assumed by the elites’ internationalist institutions.
It can certainly be speculated that the Anglo-American-controlled mainstream media has been consolidated for purposes of realizing ever-closer global governance and that this is the underlying messaging around which all media, from books, to movies, to magazines, is built. It is only with the advent of the Internet that this monolithic messaging has gradually been fractured and thus it is no coincidence that much of the messaging provided by mainstream media is now in some trouble.
Additionally, mainstream media has lost considerable credibility as people have read analyses on the Internet and begun to realize that much of what mainstream media provides in terms of information is ultimately internationalist – biased and often consisting of half truths. As a result, even major “respected” organs of the mainstream, especially in the US, have come on hard times. Newsweek, the New York Times and BusinessWeek, to name just three high-profile media properties have suffered terribly. Newsweek was sold for a dollar, BusinessWeek for not much more apparently, and the New York Times had to receive an emergency loan to stay afloat.
It is not clear what will salvage the fortunes of mainstream media when it comes to regaining credibility and popularity, but it is certain that the Anglo-American elite will continue to pour vast resources into even the most miserable, high-profile mainstream media entities as controlling share-of-mind is the single most critical advantage that the power elite has in its quest to create a new world order.

The globalists are infiltrating, corrupting, and turning the entire planet, one nation at a time in a combined scientific-geopolitical dictatorship that will be effectively impossible to reverse once it is completed. The latest Western-fueled conflagration in the Arab world indicates an accelerated regional strategy of destabilizing and taking over target nations. Nations like Russia and China, whose interests are being directly threatened and stripped away in this malicious melee, appear powerless and unprepared.Some nations succumb in silence behind the scenes, others are invaded, mercilessly brutalized, and assimilated into the globalist combine. The civil society overlay the globalists use to establish what amounts to a subversive shadow government is always creeping forward no matter how hard a target nation may try to ward it off. Only in the most extreme cases, such as Qaddafi’s Libya has civil society been uprooted entirely – making military intervention an acceptable and inevitable alternative from a globalist perspective.
Indeed there is a battle raging between the corporate-financier oligarchs of New York and London and their ever growing collection of globalist stooges and vassal states worldwide against the rest of free humanity. Each nation that falls to the globalists, however far from our own shores it may be, empowers and emboldens them and is one nation closer to their ultimate goal of one world government.
They have created a perfect system, a strategy of tension, where we wrestle with one battle after another, work to head-off one war after another, expose meddling and subversion in one nation after another all while their agenda moves ever forward.
We all to one degree or another help advance the globalists’ strategy of tension by playing into these contrived crises and by failing to focus on the source of our torment. The alternative media has made gains in exposing and delegitimizing the “international community” however, we must understand that the myriad of pet agendas we keep and nurture are in many ways dividing and distracting us – playing directly into the globalists’ theatrical productions.
The tragedy playing out between the duped and misled people of Israel and the besieged Palestinians is an example of where the globalists have created the perfect, unsolvable conflict from which they can perpetually wring out leverage to advance their agenda. The very fake “War on Terror” is another example. We get caught up in the details, we pick sides, we expend energy fighting these battles and we lose sight within this puppet theater of the men pulling the strings above. We become blinded and cannot understand the necessity of leaving the puppets behind, climbing up above the stage and throttling the puppet masters themselves.
We must recall how these corporate-financier oligarchs got so much unwarranted power in the first place – by controlling and regulating our lives from far above. They got it by us paying into their corrupt system for generations, as we’ve traded personal responsibilities in for corporate ready-made convenience. They will keep their power as long as we keep paying into their system, kidding ourselves that if we dance with their puppets long enough we will become the masters.
While activism, protesting, and campaigning is noble indeed, it is entirely futile until you identify and target the very source of your torment. In every case, be it Israel’s conflict with the Palestinians, the unending “War on Terror,” starving children, or even the bungling response of the “international community” over the disaster emanating from Japan’s Fukushima prefecture, the source of torment is the same: the unwarranted power wielded by myopically obsessed megalomaniacs, leveraging and squandering that power to enrich themselves at the cost of the rest of humanity.
We cannot depend on Russia, China, the other BRIC nations, or rouge nations like Iran to stand up against this expanding evil empire. In many ways they play directly into the strategy of tension themselves and run a similar risk of being folded in if their own people do not make this fundamental realization. The answer is to undermine this unwarranted power by no longer paying into their system through a full-spectrum boycott and the systematic replacement of the globalist corporate combines with local solutions.
We need not pen lengthy manifestos or declare in lofty terms our independence, we simply must begin taking the reins of our own destiny back by identifying how horrifyingly dependent we are on the globalists and rectifying it day to day by how we spend our money, time, and energy.
As a cloud of radioactive fallout blows seaward from Japan, as the Middle East convulses in engineered destabilization, as oil and food prices are manipulated by Wall Street speculators, the excuse of it being “too difficult” to boycott and replace the comfort and convenience offered to us by the corporate-financier oligarchs is beginning to ring rather hollow. Your life and the future of humanity depends on boycotting and replacing the globalists – World War III has already begun and is consuming the world one nation at a time.
We literally have nothing to lose by boycotting and replacing the globalists besides our servile dependence on their system. We will find, no matter what our pet agenda is, usurping this unwarranted authority from the global elite will infinitely advance our cause. For our various agendas are addressing but puppets upon the globalists’ stage, and by boycotting their system and excising them from our daily lives, we climb up above the theater and throttle the puppet masters themselves.

The Rothschilds it should be noted have a strong base of operations in Britain, specifically in the City of London where the strategic braintrust of the New World Order is located. It is run like a mafia family, with the Rothschilds choosing to work with other Jews just as the Italian mafia works with other Italians. The Rothschild’s operations are apparently worldwide and the money that the Rothschild’s and others control via central banking is virtually limitless.
From this nexus of investment and banking families has spread the plague of mercantilist central banking, which now afflicts the globe. Not content with the ruinous centralization of central banking, the Rothschild’s, their allies and intelligence operatives have apparently launched a global attack on developing countries. Libya is just the latest country to receive the “treatment.” Even the orchestration is deliberate, with each country falling in line, like dominoes, no two at once to ensure maximum media coverage.
America, like Israel – though to a much greater degree – is the muscular enforcer for the City of London braintrust. There is, in fact, no doubt about American involvement in orchestrating the Libyan revolution, right down to the shiny new flags that were unfurled for the cameras – red-and-green flags of a pre-revolutionary Libya that have now conveniently found their way onto flagpoles of Libyan embassies around the world. The ‘flag-change’ initiative was taken by the Libyan Human Rights League – another group that “spontaneously” formed in 2005 at the same time as Sahad’s NFSL.
There is much hand-wringing currently in the mainstream media about how involved the US and its allies ought to get in the Libyan revolution. We would suggest that the West is already fully involved and that there are likely intelligence agents and Western mercenaries on the ground in Libya helping organize the rebels’ military campaigns. While it is no doubt true that the rebels are composed of average Libyan citizens along with many deserters from the Libyan army, it is likely just as true that the groundwork for the Libyan revolution was laid well in advance – organized by the West in the same manner as the other revolutions now taking place.
These are meticulously planned events
