Below is a sub-chapter in a book that I downloaded a few weeks ago. It is titled The Police State Roadmap, by Michael Nield. It lounged around as an icon on my desktop until today when I began reading it. It is pretty good. I'll stick a link to the download site at the bottom.
The information below gives some insight into how thing got to be the way they are. "They" own both sides of the issues...
2.4 WHO OWNS THE MEDIA?
The New World Order would be in serious trouble, if for one day, the
mainstream media put the pieces together and told the whole truth, 'the story
behind the story'. Editing certain news out of the press has been just as
important as putting propaganda in, probably more so. Westerners receive
relatively little news about the atrocities committed in the socialist dictatorships
especially in the former Soviet Union and communist China which continue to this
day. The last thing they want the public to hear on the evening news is the fact
that its our money which has kept these regimes afloat, or to find out who helped
them into power.
In 1917 Congressman Oscar Callaway told the House that, in 1915 JP
Morgan interests and their subsidiary organizations purchased the editorial
policies of the 25 most important newspapers in the U.S. By controlling the policy
of the most important, they were able to control the general policy of the whole
media. They used this power to turn public opinion in favour of entering the First
World War.(21) The Rockefellers took over the Morgan empire, and in the 1950s
they had one of their pharmaceutical company directors and publisher of the
New York Times, Arthur Hays Sulzberger, appointed as Director of the Associated
Press. They also owned the trend setting magazines Time, Life, Fortune, and
Newsweek.(22) Laurance Rockefeller was a director of The Reader's Digest, a
barometer of orthodox thinking, especially on the medical issues in which his
family had enormous financial interests. (23)
Forbes Magazine's recent bio' of media tycoon, Conrad Black read:
67% ownership in Ravelston Corp., a privately held company, gives him
control of a 78% stake in Hollinger Inc., a publicly traded Canadian holding
company with real estate and other investments. Hollinger, in turn, owns
32%of the equity and 73% of he voting control of Hollinger International,
the Big Board media company that owns the newspapers. There is also a
hefty dose of debt financing in this chain. Thus does Black, with a mere $13
million of his own equity money in the till, control $2 billion in media assets.
The assets are impressive: Black's 129 newspapers include the Chicago Sun-
Times, the fifth-largest paper in the U.S.; the Jerusalem Post, with a
circulation of 110,000; and the London Daily Telegraph, which has 40% of
the market for national broadsheet newspapers in the U.K...Directors include
such illuminati as Henry Kissinger; former Illinois Governor James R.
Thompson; financier Henry Kravis' wife, Marie-Josée Kravis; former
ambassador to Germany Richard Burt; and Richard Perle, the controversial
member of the Defense Policy Board." (24)
Forbes ranks two media billionaires, Silvio Berlusconi and Rupert Murdoch, at
numbers 3 and 4 in the world in terms of power and influence even though their
wealth is ranked 45 and 54 respectively. Italy's Prime Minister owes much of his
influence to Fininvest, his investment firm that owns 49% of Mediaset, Italy's
largest television network. He also has interests in banking, insurance and
publishing.(25) Murdoch's media empire includes NewsCorporation and its U.K.
subsidiary News International, British Sky Broadcasting Group, Sky Global
Networks Inc. and Fox Entertainment Group. Besides T.V. networks and
newspapers, this group also owns the publisher HarperCollins.(26)(27)
Two sisters Anne and Barbara Cox own 98% of Cox Enterprises which
controls 17 daily newspapers (including flagship Atlanta Journal-Constitution), 15
TV stations, 78 radio stations and cable systems (6.5 million users). Their
personal wealth is estimated to be $11billion each.(28)Two thirds of Viacom's
voting stock is controlled by Sumner Redstone whose personal wealth is
estimated at $9.7 billion.(29)Viacom now owns CBS, Infinity Broadcasting,
Paramount, Nickelodeon, MTV, and Blockbuster. In 1980 Ted Turner launched
America's first 24 hr. cable news service, CNN. Turner Broadcasting Systems was
bought by Time Warner in 1996 but Turner remains Time Warner's largest
individual shareholder (only 1% at June 2003) and sits on its board.(30)
Sir Evelyn de Rothschild used to sit on the board of The Daily Telegraph (31)
and Edouard de Rothschild bought the controlling stake in French left-wing
newspaper, Liberation, in December 2004. (32)
From July 1999 to March 2002, The Carlyle Group, an $18 billion private equity
firm, held a 40% stake in the French daily Le Figaro. Carlyle Group investors
have included Frank Carlucci, former U.S. Defense Secretary and Deputy Director
of the CIA; the Bin Laden family; and former heads of state, George Bush Sr.
and John Major. In March 2004, Le Figaro was purchased by Serge Dassault,
head of Dassault Aviation a major military contractor.(33)
However, ownership, directorship and censorship is not the whole story of
media manipulation. Much of what appears in the press is shaped by the
education of journalists and their sources. The roots of the 'psychological
operation' are in the schools, universities, charities, think-tanks and policy
institutes - the subject of the next chapter.
