The Propaganda State in the USA envelops government, institutions, and the mainstream media. What do they all have in common? Their funding and wealth derive directly or indirectly from government. Legislation created the broadcast industry that now allows six companies to own and control 90 percent of the media in America.
The recent revelations of Twitter working with the FBI and other government departments and agencies to censor Americans is an extension of the Propaganda State becoming a police state. Like mushrooms sprouting in the dark, the police state has emerged in the Unites States without the mainstream media reporting it. The "Twitter Files" make clear that censorship flourished on Twitter to promote only authorized information from government. A new political age has erupted with coordination by Big Media, Big Tech, and Big Government to control the flow of information and censor all contradictory information. This coordination does not occur overnight. It takes decades of hiring like-minded people and avoiding well qualified or better qualified people who do not share their political views. The authoritarian state is here, and the institutions have been massaged for particular outcomes and political agendas to support the overwhelmingly dominant political force.
News from the mainstream media ignores the rampant crime in cities, social decay, corruption, and economic failure. Government now divides people by race, often citing pervasive racism, though offering little or no evidence to support it beyond propaganda stereotyping police.
The Propaganda State needs to constantly fabricate crimes to enhance its power. Propaganda driven by Big Media and Big Tech is the megaphone to promote Big Government disinformation and indoctrination. This is what the Twitter Files exposed clearly. The FBI is used to censor Americans in the name of national security or preventing "misinformation," using methods of communist dictators Stalin and Mao.

The Propaganda State seems to fabricate crimes only against conservatives while ignoring real crimes by leftists or just ordinary criminals.
Excellent read. Thanks.
The Propaganda State seems to fabricate crimes only against conservatives while ignoring real crimes by leftists or just ordinary criminals.
The author of this article has two things VERY wrong:
1) The government has been messing with, paying off with taxpayer money, and otherwise been involved in censorship for a LONG time with regards to things that have nothing to do with national security. The like ‘minds’ are about payoffs and enrichment on taxpayer dollars. I sincerely doubt it’s all ideological.
2) The second incorrect premised is that the police state and the media propaganda are working together. With taxpayer money funding both, and them clearly financially inseparable in dependence of taxpayer money, they aren’t working together, they are together.
I think the author didn’t want to admit that the aforementioned are true, because it unequivocally means we aren’t a Republic anymore. The implications mean that you no longer really have Constitutional rights, or a legal system that isn’t contaminated, and you have a voice with free and fair voting. The evidence suggests that these no longer exist if it conflicts with FedGov needs and desires. He doesn’t want people to know how deep down the Rabbit hole it is.
It’s really nothing new.
They’ve been doing the same crap to other countries for decades as came out in the Church hearings eons ago.
What’s different now (or maybe not) is that they are doing it internally.
Probably covered by some ridiculous “opinion” written by a Deputy Assistant Undersecretary to the Assistant Undersecretary of the Department of Internal Mitigation or something.
(News from the mainstream media ignores the rampant crime in cities, social decay, corruption, and economic failure.)
HLN replaced Forensic Files with The West Wing

They .... Just .... Never .... Stop
In the 1940s Winston Churchill wrote:
“There is no public opinion except what is manufactured by those new and terrible engines - broadcasting and a controlled press, a compliant press”
It’s as if the KGB or the gestapo controlled what was allowed to be published.
The law enforcement arms of the US government used their power to control what the public could and could not read.
And the public is unaware, thanks to that very same power over the news media.
We are screwed. We knew this going into the midterm elections and we still lost. Corruption is everywhere.
Most Americans did Nazi that coming, and only American Traitors are UKe with it.
Dangerous times and it is going to get more dangerous.

No matter. We’ll just keep voting and pretend it matters.
Article V COS while we can.
<>Former FBI agents were hired to assist Twitter in implementing widespread censorship.<>
I on board with Sundance at CTH who suspects Twitter is funded and kept afloat by our authoritarian rulers.
Yep, it is like they are doing an “internal” color revolution.
Make that “I’m on board” . . .
More dangerous...
Yuppers!

Top Bunk!
The problem for the media is that we now know that it isn't news, which is defined as "newly received or noteworthy information, especially about recent or important events."
Information is defined as "facts provided or learned about something or someone"
It's that ugly word "facts" that gets in the way. Now that we now that it is all made up to convey a narrative it may be lots of things, but news is one thing they are not purveying.
Its already happened at the FBI and most of the GOVERNMENT alphabet agencies .. it starts at the Top and filters down..
and the Military is not far behind ...
