The Media is the Devil's Tool Box

They’re trying to brainwash you, just like they’ve brainwashed the Hillary voters. They’re trying to discourage you, make you feel disappointed.

DO not let them! Look at the Trump rallies with thousands, then look at the Hillary rallies with dozens. The media is lying to you and trying to destroy a good man and the MILLIONS of US Citizens who support him!

Disappointment brings discouragement. Constant failure to realize our plans or expectations will cause us to lose confidence and hope, and inability to handle disappointment becomes a great tool. The following story, given to me by a friend and mentor 45 years ago, written by Walter Knight, illustrates.

Discouragement

It was advertised that the Devil was going to put his tools up for sale. On the day of the sale the tools were placed for public inspection, each being marked with its sale price.

They were a treacherous lot of implements.... Hatred, Envy, Jealousy, Deceit, Lying, Pride, and so on comprised the outfit.

Laid apart from the rest was a harmless looking tool, well worn, and priced very high.

“What is the name of this tool?” asked one of the purchasers, pointing to it.

“That is discouragement” tersely replied the Devil.

“Why have you priced it so high?”

“Because it is more useful to me than the others. I can pry open and get inside a man’s heart with that, when I cannot get near him with other tools. Once I get inside, I can make him do what I choose. It is badly worn because I use it on almost everyone, since few people know it belongs to me.”

"The demoralization process in the United States is basically completed already for the last 25 years. Actually, it's over fulfilled because demoralization now reaches such areas where not even Comrade Andropov and all his experts would even dream of such tremendous success. Most of it is done by Americans to Americans thanks to lack of moral standards. As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him, even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents and pictures . . . he will refuse to believe it . . . . That's the tragedy of the situation of demoralization."

--Yuri Bezmenov, Former KGB propagandist and Subsequent Defector

I have recently watched for a second time the 1984 interview of ex-KGB operative and defector Yuri Bezmenov wherein he exposes the Kremlin's decades-long program for first demoralizing then destabilizing the United States.

In my opinion, we are well into the "destabilizing" phase as the demoralizing has succeeded to the point where a significant percentage of the American people are actively destroying their own country.

Trump and his candidacy represent the last ditch effort to save America, and possibly Western Civilization, by those Americans who oppose this destruction.

While the polls may not be accurate in terms of percentages, I do believe they are reflecting the state of the election if it were to be held today. Since today isn’t election day, you have two choices. Get dismayed and throw in the towel or become energized to persuade the persuadables. The choice is yours.

I’m a fan of Yuri and would agree with you. Demoralization.

Obama is trying to bring us to the edge of chaos, then dump the mess in someone else’s lap.

Again, as I’m sure you know, the plan is to make things bad enough that a majority DEMAND the government fix things. The new government (The New Socialist Caliphate of the Western Hemisphere) will then make itself known.

Thank you for referencing that article AuntB. As usual, please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

An old bit of legal advice is “caveat emptor,” Latin for let the buyer beware. And a lot of the reason that the corrupt, evil media is getting away being the devil’s toolbox is the following.

Low-information citizens aren’t being taught the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers, and are consequently too willing to accept the media’s lies about the federal government’s unconstitutional actions.

So citizens must share some of the blame for the state of the union imo.

“So citizens must share some of the blame for the state of the union imo.”

Most of the blame, I’d say. We should be in front of every network affiliate handing out real news.

You are welcome, but we are one in the same.

The Media is the Devil's Tool Box

The "media" is that group of people that we desperately need to put out of a job. They are nothing but one big Liberal Democrat lie machine that enable Democrats to steal elections by misleading the public.

The media is a weapon that has long been turned against us, and we need to seize that weapon and turn it's fire power back on those who currently control it.

We need to "machine gun them down" with cameras and microphones the way they have long done to us. We need to shine the light of publicity on their corruption, their lies, and their incestuous relationship with the Democrat party.

Modern media is nothing but a propaganda arm of the currently existing leftist/socialist movement.

The media stole the election in 1992. They stole the election in 1996. They tried to steal the election in 2000. The successfully stole the midterm election in 2006, and they definitely stole the elections in 2008 and 2012.

None of those leftist candidates would have won had the Liberal Democrat media not covered up the skeletons in Democrat closets, and pushed lies about the Republicans.

Obama is trying to bring us to the edge of chaos, then dump the mess in someone else’s lap.

This theory implies that Obama is intelligent, which he is not. He is the stupidest man who has ever sat in the White House.

He is an affirmative action fool who wasn't competent, but was elected only because he was black. The liberals were drooling at the prospect of "virtue signaling" so they sued their monopoly of the media to push this jackass because of his color, and not for his qualifications, of which he has none.

Obama makes a mess of things because he's an idiot. He has the simpleton's view of the world. Had he not gotten a free ride (affirmative action) through college, he would be picking up garbage as more befits his mental capabilities.

Okay, no more Mr. Nice Guy — most of the blame.

We should be smashing their doors in and taking over their transmitters and satellite uplinks so that the world can finally hear a different opinion than that which Liberal Democrat Union members provide.

Seriously, we need to get control of their broadcasting system. It is now the only plausible way with which to provide the American people with the information they desperately need to make informed decisions about who to elect.

We need to wrest this power away from the Liberal propaganda corps. We need to turn this power against them and their agenda.

Exactly! That’s been the strategy since FDR’s New Deal—make matters worse then position the Federal Government as the only solution. It explains the clamor for gun control—make the situation appear so out of control, e.g., the “gun walker” operation, that only a total prohibition can staunch the bleeding.
