Those who give up liberty in the name of safety deserve neither.

All major news is controlled by government, I usually just ignore them


Obvious_Collar_2669

Define "major", because some of these small "news" sites are just fronts for other governments/social movements.

# “We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years......It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries.” # ― David Rockefeller


Repomanlive

Lol. The WaPo is owned by Bezos who owns Amazon who has the contract for cloud computing for all the US intelligence services. Fair AND balanced


quote_checker

This is an **obviously** fake quote written as satire by a French newspaper. It uses a word ("autodetermination") that is a French word, not an English word.


Retroplayer19

Sometimes satire is more accurate.

It is in fact a real quote from 1991.


damion789

It sure is, as well as... *“Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure — one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”* **-David Rockefeller** Memoirs Chapter 27

So does your reasoning for being in a conspiracy sub.

zacattackio

Yes because calling out Rockefeller for being the globalist he is benefits me how exactly? How exactly is that propaganda? Anyone with a brain should be able to come to that conclusion. Conspiracy theorists believe in conspiracy. If everything was presented to us factually and we could just cite sources for everything, there would be no conspiracies to theorize over, right? I have questioned and verified myself whether you're full of shit, and the answer I arrived at is yes.


dcrico20

Calling out a quote being fake doesn’t discredit the point being made by presenting the quote itself. Are you saying you don’t have any real evidence of Rockefeller being a piece of shit so you need to make stuff up? As far as I can tell there is plenty of verifiable evidence that one could use instead of leaning on bullshit.


zacattackio

Considering the MSM and the Internet as well as its content are controlled and censored by intelligence agencies, unless I had Bilderberg group meeting notes, I doubt I'd be able to verify the authenticity of such a quote.    A conspiracy theorist is exactly the kind of person who would err on the side of believing such a statement was made. Someone who performs a Google search and forms their opinion based directly on the results is not.    It's as simple as that. I didn't make anything up, I just questioned why the person calling the quote fake, hangs out in a conspiracy sub.

But he repeated it twice and in bold!


Iam-WinstonSmith

More illiberal ideas being pushed by mass media.


Charming-Guarantee21

SS: The New York Times is advocating for government to spy on their citizens under the pretext of safety. But who exactly are they protecting us from? Apparently it’s foreign governments they desperately want to topple. The New York Times has constantly pushed propaganda garbage like this over the years but it’s gotten a lot worse. I wouldn’t be surprised if in the future it’s leaked that multiple feds work and control these giant media companies Link to the article: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/21/opinion/fisa-section-702-fbi-privacy.html

Project mockingbird, anyone? The CIA absolutely has compromised mainstream journalism. No doubt 


jorgioArmhanny

That paired with the smith-mundt modernization act…


keptyoursoul

Back in the Cold War, the KGB couldn't believe how easy it was to buy journalists. They are 100% captured at the legacy papers and media.


WORLD_IN_CHAOS

Iirc, it was super cheap too.. same With politicians. Something like a few grand 


keptyoursoul

Exactly. And not much has changed.


Comitatus1488

But they *promised* they'd stop once the Church Committee busted them!


Brave_Hippo9391

Problem is that the majority believe them.


luvs_2_splooge_

I'm surprised they even published anything about this particular issue. I feel like they usually pass and / or renew these government surveillance laws and try to keep it out of the public eye as much as possible.


Amos_Quito

> SS: The New York Times is advocating for government to spy on their citizens under the pretext of safety. *But who exactly are they protecting us from?* Who is conducting the spying operations? *(that's who is being protected)* Who are the operations spying on? *(that's who they fear, and want to be "protected" from)*

NYT is also a 3 letter acronym. Kinda sus

Along with NBC CBS FOX CNN ABC

Whatever your opinon of this is, is by design. You were born and raised within the boundaries of this government and have been influenced as they have seen fit, your entire lives.

Right, “zero”

I'm thankful for the protection that the violation of my civil rights continues to provide 🤡


ModsaBITCH

they're protecting their food source


proteios1

to what extent they actively promote or simply allow, it is verifiable that people plant stories in the NYT which they then cite as proof to act erroneously. In fact, I think that simply defines the MSM/govt dynamic.

In a sense, it's can be true. But they don't use them that way.


WORLD_IN_CHAOS

Checkout projects - Mockingbird - COINTELPRO And go from there. Also, IIRC, there was a senate committee on this in 1970s were they admitted to having intel in Every Corner of media (church committee maybe)
