"What would happen if a wealthy ethnic group--the Japanese, or the Arabs, say--were to take complete control of our media? All of it: the TV networks, the press, the motion picture and music industries, magazine and book publishers, public-opinion polls. Every single source of information available to us.
The most likely response to that question is: It couldn't happen. Society would not permit it. No matter how friendly or benign the ethnic group, the public would rise up and demand that its legislators break up such a dangerous monopoly.
To allow such a thing would be tantamount to surrender of the nation's free will. It would be clear that no people could long maintain free and independent thought where a single group held such absolute control over every one of its information sources. The temptation for the group to use this power in its own self interests would be overwhelming. No group, ethnic or otherwise, could resist such temptation.
In such a frightening Orwellian scenario, individual thought would be eroded away over time, gradually replaced by Groupthink: concepts and values drummed into the public psyche by degrees, day in and day out, year after year, in such a gradual way that the indoctrination to the controlling group's point of view would go unnoticed.
In time, the subtle and relentless conditioning would succeed in etching the group's viewpoints so deeply and emotionally on the mass psyche that it would be socially impossible to speak a truth against those viewpoints, no matter how obvious that truth might be.
In recent years, the consequences of free thought and expression in our country have been startling. Now in the 1990s, one may not speak a "politically incorrect" truth on our streets, regardless of how obvious that truth may be. Each of us has seen how swift and vicious reprisals can be. To many who can recall the 1940s and 1950s, this is frighteningly reminiscent of the darkest days of oppressive Stalinism in the Soviet Union.
Nothing in the way of hate or bigotry is expressed in this warning. Yet this is how it will be made to look. This is the way unwanted truth is attacked by those in control, by name-calling and branding of the most vicious kind. The call for action against the spread of this truth will be startling.
And here is the reason:
Your attention is now being directed to something that those in control of our lives have done everything in their considerable power to keep you from seeing. It is the most dangerous social situation imaginable. It is, quite simply, the most important social revelation of our time.
It is this:
With only a tiny few of the most inconsequential exceptions, every major source of information that reaches us, whether it be "news," entertainment, or information, is controlled by one ethnic group! Every major television network, newspaper, wire service; every significant entertainment source, film studio, production company, recording company, booking and casting agency, distributing company, movie theater, record company, book publisher, magazine publisher, public opinion poll---not to mention every single financial institution behind these media---is owned and controlled by members of the same minority ethnic group.
That is not a claim. It is a fact; a fact well known by our body of politicians in Washington. Moreover, it is a matter of public record that can be easily verified. And if you have doubts, I urge you to do this without listening to anyone and see for yourself. You will be amazed, as I was, as the ownership and control of one company after another is revealed. Yet you are just now discovering something that those in positions of power and influence have known for some time.
It is an astonishing fact. It is astonishing that we could allow this to happen in our society. Yet even more surprising is the almost eerie fact that even when this remarkable circumstance is pointed out, many react with an irrational indifference and shrug it off as unimportant. Irrational, because those same individuals would be stridently opposed if the enormous power of the combined media were exclusively in the hands of the Arabs, say, or Hindus, or Catholics.
It is always wise to question things that contradict our native sense. Why would we accept something in a familiar setting that we would never consider in a different context? If it doesn't make sense, something is wrong. When we think we believe something that goes against even our own reason, we are correct in wondering where that belief has come from.
Here, in the bland responses of the irrationally indifferent, we see the cumulative effect of what has happened. This is perhaps the most sobering evidence of the thought control to which we have willingly submitted ourselves, an insidious power exercised by those who control the media that over the years has slowly reshaped our view of reality. Through decades of relentless indoctrination this ethnic minority group has done what no dictator could possibly have done by force: usurped control of our lives and institutions and conditioned us to view this as the most acceptable thing in the world.
Many will protest the statements made here. Much offense will be taken. Words such as bigot and racist will fly up in an effort to stop the spread of this warning.
Yet this is truth. A lethally dangerous truth. And it is time we stopped allowing people to be offended by the truth.
The distortion of reality by the media is no accident. It has been created entirely by this controlling ethnic group, the most strongly united group in the world; united in purpose and preoccupied with self-interest. One thing is clear: the reality they have been showing us is in their best interests, not ours.
Some will argue that a such a conspiracy is not possible in so complex a society. That is a dangerously naive observation that badly misses the point. No conspiracy is necessary when one single group with such passionate self-motives has a complete monopoly on the power to control public thought."
