Notable Quotes about FED and Media |
John Swinton New York journalist at a banquet (1880’s): "What
folly is this, toasting an independent press? There is no such
thing, at this date of the World 's history,in America , as an
independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one
of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did,
you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am
paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am
connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for
similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to
write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for
another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one
issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would
be gone. The business of the journalists is to destroy the
truth,to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the
feet of Mammon [Biblical ref.], and to sell his country and his
race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what
folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools
and vassals of “rich men” [Biblical ref.] behind the scenes. We
are the jumpingjacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our
talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of
other men. We are intellectual prostitutes." Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, 1919, speaking before his death: "These International Bankers and Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests control the majority of newspapers [and in fact the major schoolbook publishers] and the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of public office officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government." John Hylan Mayor of New York expanding on Roosevelt's statement in 1922: "The warning of Theodore Roosevelt has much timeliness today, for the real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over City, State, and nation... It seizes in its long and powerful tentacles our executive officers, our legislative bodies, our schools, our courts, our newspapers, and every agency created for the public protection... To depart from mere generalisations, let me say that at the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller-Standard Oil interest and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as the international Bankers. The little coterie of powerful international Bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both parties, write political platforms, make catspaws of party leaders, use the leading men of private organisations, and resort to every device to place in nomination for high public office only such candidates as will be amenable to the dictates of corrupt big business... These international Bankers and Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests control the majority of newspapers and magazines in this country." "The American people have never picked a president, and never will." – President Harry Truman. William Colby former Director of the CIA braggingly said (...and the Zionist corporate/banking plutocracy owns everyone of any significance in the Central Intelligence Agency): “The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media.” When asked in a 1976 interview whether the CIA had ever told its media agents what to write, William Colby replied, "Oh, sure, all the time." William Colby (76) was found dead in April 1996 Rocky Pt. MD, supposedly drowned in a canoeing accident. Guess he talked too much and was planning to talk more! "We will know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." William Casey, CIA Director, from notes taken in a 1981 CIA staff meeting, that wasn't intended to be heard or repeated outside the room. |
