When Corporate Media Were Imperial Shills, or: Now and Always

Granted, due to the almost indomitable influence, power, and presence enjoyed by the Ministry in all political, economic, social, and religious areas, boycotts have been basically ineffective thus far; but they can work if enough people and organizations are made aware of the Mafia’s hideous criminality and, in turn, make others aware of it.

Start a personal blog and repost other people’s media exposés and the like. Become a contributor to open-invitation blogs, newsletters, and truth-digging forums, like Nolan Chart, OpEdNews, WUFYS, and Anti-Neocons. Those sites allow you to post your own articles or blog entries in an editorial capacity with minimal oversight; while sites like ThePeoplesVoice, DissidentVoice, WhatReallyHappened, et al., allow you to submit content which is then evaluated by the site owners and editors who then decide whether your essay (or already-published article from another author) will be published.

Become a member of a free message board community where the majority of posters may not share your view of reality. These forums allow you to get the word out to a wide array of readers from all political persuasions, and allow you to not only post your material but also debate the issues with those who disagree. It’s a great opportunity to publicly debunk the state-corporate frauds in real time. The best message boards are the ones that don’t rely on corporate advertising to stay afloat; one such site is MyWay.com’s Sound Off. Excite.com’s message boards are almost identical to the ones at MyWay, only with banner ads and such—a minor nuisance.

Make all your friends and family members—especially those who still fall for the government-media fraud—aware of such invaluable sources of political information and interaction.

Avoid watching CNN, FOX, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, or their affiliated networks. The History Channel is a huge fraud that peddles pro-empire propaganda 24/7. Even National Public Radio (NPR) has morphed into a mouthpiece for the warfare-welfare state and the Pentagon. [3] The Real News Network, LinkTV Mosaic, and Democracy Now! are among the best sources for multimedia news.

And if you must read an article from the New York Times, the Dallas Morning News, or other Ministry source, don’t click on the link that will take you to the original media source of the article: search Google for an independent site that reposted the article. But if you can not avoid entering a Ministry website, leave the site as soon as possible, taking with you the body of the article on your clipboard, and avoid clicking on their advertisements or activating their video players. If a comments section is available, then post a brief but well-sourced rebuttal there; but spend as little time as possible at those sites. And if you repost excerpts of the corporate media-published article for the sake of exposing the fraud, then do what I will be doing from now on: don’t give the fraudsters the courtesy of an activated link back to their site. 

At the same time, we should reward ethical journalism and conscientious analysis with full attribution using active hyperlinks. Respect their copyright reservations. Lightly shower the messengers with praise and let them know they are doing an invaluable service to their readers and viewers.

If we do these these things, and encourage others to do the same, then I believe we have a fighting chance to take our Republic back from the tyrannical empire and its snake oil salesmen.
