Actually since before WWI with Pres. Wilson paying a $40,000 bribe because of his long time affair (only reason why the elites/bankers allowed him to be President—so they could totally control him). The MSM was bought and paid for by 1916 when JP Morgan started buying up all the main APs while Rothschild owned all Reuter outlets.
As Solzhenitsyn noted in 78 the USA has no free press, nothing but Pravda. The “free press” in the 50s destroyed McCarthy with lies reported over and over so they became the “truth”....and staged “responses” by planted communists on committees, who completely controlled Narrative, sound bites, and the White House in FDRs time and still in McCarthy’s era. The Wake-Up-—(McCarthy, etc.) was squashed by the communists, as Evan’s writes in Blacklisted by History: The True Story of Senator Joseph McCarthy. They had JFK killed because he was going to obliterate the rogue CIA, the communist strong arm.
We have been in the Hegelian Dialectic since the 1900s—to totally transform the USA to a Brave New World (transhumanism of J. Huxley) and a totalitarian hell-hole where everything we do and say is known to the elite few who will annihilate us if we dare go off their reservation. We have been post-constitutional, as Judge Napolitano wrote in his book on Progressives; Roosevelt and Wilson since 1913. There is no “Rule of Law” in America since Wilson. Our masters v. sheeple (ignorant happy slaves).
We can go back to 1884.
