No they won’t. The propagandists will never tell the truth about the dictatorial intentions of the Dims. They will suppress any and all information that exposes them for what they are.

So the question remains:

What can be done about it?

Let’s say in 2016 we do get a conservative President. The Press has run roughshod over every republican President since I was of voting age. Now they have gotten so good at their propaganda that they can bring to ruins anyone they care to target, they can stop any President’s agenda, and they can sway public opinion with a twist of the word, heck that can change the literal cultural meaning of words by having some celebrity redefine it on a talk show!

In a land of Free Speech and Freedom of the Press how does one go about stopping the propaganda? Is stopping propaganda an infringement of Rights? Is ‘propaganda’ like shouting ‘fire’ in a crowded theatre?

The Press has always had the power to hold tyranny in place or be the power to break the hold of tyranny. The fact that the legislative body is working to legally define who a journalist is, means the big networks have lobbied to protect their propaganda and the agenda. I point to the use of the phrase ‘citizen journalist.’ A simple turn of the phrase to discount a Freeman’s reporting, thoughts, perceptions, and opinions has essentially infringed and discredited you!

Our country was founded on such Freemen using the printing press to educate the citizenry and was also a form of propaganda against the king. Consider today you cannot stand on the corner without a permit and handout pamphlets. Heck, you can’t hand out the Constitution on Constitution Day!

Using the internet has one being monitored for every keystroke, even our email and phone calls are essentially tapped. As a ‘citizen journalist,’ our Right to Free Speech and Free Press is already infringed by means of the chilling effect. Consider for a moment that even here on FR many are very careful in how they express themselves. Even the owner of the site has issued statements like this:

Regarding salty talk aimed at the president (or other officials) vs visits from the SS http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2200093/posts .

So I return to my question that started this post and rephrase it. What is a Freeman to do to restore their Right to Freedom of the Press, crush the propaganda, and destroy the censorship that is big media today? A Freeman exercising his Rights of Speech and Press is big media’s and the government’s biggest fear. A Freeman’s Press that finds a way to circumvent their controls over the message, speech, and education of the public will be the Press’s downfall.

We must find a way to break the hold of information censorship the media and government holds before 2016. If the Patriots prior to 1776 could find a way, we owe it to them, ourselves, and our children to find a way today.
