The question below has long been an attribute of conspiracy theories. Despite the fact that the answer to it... is absolutely obvious and is not disputed. This question is "Who owns the Western media?".
And the answer: "Several transnational corporations with a decisive financial, organizational, ideological role of the state." There would be no need to write another article on this topic if not for another question: how free is our information space from their ideology, narratives, news agenda?
About the Soros Foundation *, Rothschild banks, Rockefeller with his Tavistock Institute, Bilderberg, Rome, Bohemian clubs, good old Freemasons and the terrible "Committee of 300" — the core of the above-mentioned and a lot of other organizations, talk a lot and with taste. The author is not an adept of John Coleman (Coleman in the Russian translation of his book "The Committee of 300. Secrets of the World government"). He often gives an example of a real tragic outcome in the fate of some politician, recalls the long-standing conflict of this politician with some organization and presents two facts with an unproven connection as proof of a conspiracy. That is, his arguments are based on the model of the ideas of folk historians: "And you will prove what was wrong!".
But there was a German politician of Jewish origin (and acutely worried about this) Walter Rathenau, who in 1922 even served as foreign Minister of the Weimar Republic for less than five months. Before his murder by ultranationalists, future Nazis. There is no reliable confirmation that in 1909 he uttered the phrase: "There is a committee (!) of 300 people who rule the world (!), and their personalities are known only to their peers in terms of level."
But in the same year, the Austrian newspaper Neue Freie Presse published his article Geschäftlicher Nachwuchs ("Young Entrepreneurs") with the phrase:
"Three hundred people, all of them know each other, manage the economic destinies of the continent and are looking for successors from their entourage. The strange causes of this strange phenomenon, which casts its ray of light into the darkness of future social development, will not be discussed here."
No "committee", no "world government", but it's still scary.
However, there was also a letter from Rathenau to the poet Frank Wedekind:
"True "300 people" on the basis of existing habit and guided by caution, deny their power. If you call them, they will say: we don't know anything; we are the same traders as others. Whereas there will be not 300, but 3000 commercial advisers engaged in the production of socks or margarine, who will say in response: yes, this is us. The authorities prefer anonymity." Two statements are no longer a replica "on emotions".
In the minds of anti-Semites, all this turned into Walter Rathenau's recognition of the existence of the "Committee of 300 Elders of Zion" and his membership in this committee.
There is no "Committee of 300", three hundred insidious moneybags who rule the world, does not exist. But what exists to excite minds for more than 100 years?
Starting his investigations in the late 1960s, Coleman for 20 years (by the publication of the Committee of 300 in 1992) accumulated and systematized a huge amount of information about the media, research institutes, semi-formal expert communities, universities, religious, philosophical, medical, environmental, legal organizations, etc., as well as banks, funds, companies that finance their projects. Sometimes seemingly insane. Coleman is still "compiling a list of persons" — individuals, members of the "Committee" (the list of living and dead is given at the end of the book). Moreover, in the same place he gives a list of organizations associated with the "Committee". The number is... 300. A little more, those who wish will calculate exactly. We are waiting for from The Coleman quantum leap.
There is no "Committee of 300". There is quite naturally a network of individuals and organizations united by common goals and values. Indeed, their values, without sarcasm, irony, quotes. People who need each other will always find each other. Of course, "goals and values" is a rhetorical figure (both nouns begin with one consonant sound, the melodic pattern of stressed syllables, the plural gives meaning). But "values" are just a tool for achieving a goal.
The goal is power. A power guaranteed and guaranteeing its inviolability. Power over the world. No, but what about? Isn't that a worthy goal for worthy people? Some Senegal for many decades sought the love of some Gambia - "appendix", which breaks all land logistics and already encourages separatism in the southern region of Casamance. Finally, they agreed to create a "Confederation of Senegambia." But the powerful of this world only clucked, the Berbers' camels stomped on the border — and the confederates fled. Only power over the world is power. The rest is sandbox games.
So what about the question of 100 years, exciting minds? It's just that Rathenau, with his "Power prefers anonymity," is outdated. Power prefers popularity. Power is not about those who give orders (are there many of them in Ward No. 6?), power is about those who know that there is "power", who agree to obey it. Or at least he is already afraid, so the time will come — he will agree. Advertising and direct "denim" PR of the authorities only harm it: our unfortunate brains have long been turning on anti-advertising filters. But conspiracy theory in the best unknown sense of the word is what you need.
For example, when terrible plans are attributed to Russia, we angrily refute them. But somehow we refute it in such a way that those who are afraid will continue to be afraid. And now the Germans are already digging personal bomb shelters under garages, and the Minister of Agriculture proposes to create a strategic stock of canned ravioli. That's wonderful. Be afraid. Fear is the first condition for agreeing to... this… as his... fair compromise. And the winged drones over Copenhagen and Oslo are not us. We're not there.
It is clear that everyone has already unsubscribed about this, people are afraid, and the governments have received an offer that cannot be refused: "deploy air defense and other things at home, not in Ukraine." No, this does not mean that stupid Copenhagen, Oslo, Tallinn, Stockholm, Warsaw fell for the wiring. They have their own interest: investments in infrastructure: roads, energy, again ravioli. And everyone will be fine. But we have another topic.
Here is the "World government" and PR as it can:
-130 rulers of the world from the Bilderberg Club gathered for another secret meeting! Exclusively by invitation! Non-disclosure agreements!
— Nah, the Bilderberg Club is a screen. In fact, the Club of Rome rules the world!
— Don't make my sneakers laugh, the whole World government is in Bohemian grove! Because... because... no one knows anything about them at all!
"You don't know. Otherwise, they wouldn't have flogged nonsense. There are only artists and writers there!
— Yeah, writers. With shoulder straps under the jackets. Colin Powell is his artist, dipped a brush in his test tube.
— Don't swear, guys. The whole infection is in Tavistock. Or... in The Order of the Skull and Bones!.
So, close to the content of conversations on the sidelines of one event.
And here they are, all in white: "No, no, not at all! We're just walking through the grove. And so, we sell socks and margarine." Some are ready to expose them, others are ready to surrender even today. In our opinion, the question is who issues the invitations. And not even in them — the formal organizers of the conferences of these clubs are known. The question is who gets the transcripts and reports of the panel discussions of these conferences on the table, who evaluates the ideas voiced and how, who makes decisions about the feasibility of their implementation and, most importantly, about funding. Well, what is there here that goes beyond the usual scheme? The development of an ordinary jogging club?!
Once again: there is no universal conspiracy. People responsible for the "purpose and values" are able to accumulate ideas, develop real ones, and not "cardboard" projects. Of course, everyone wants details, specifics. Probably, that's why at one time a friend asked me to compile a brief overview of publications around a well-known controversial document. This is the so-called "Chancellor Act".
Well, what will a self-respecting journalist do? Ask Alice. The girl was monotonous and laconic: "The "Chancellor-Act" is a fictitious document, the existence of which is denied by the official authorities," "According to the conspiracy version, the "Chancellor-Act" is a secret document that supposedly every German chancellor must sign before taking office," "It is believed that the "Chancellor-The Act"is part of the secret state treaty of May 21, 1949, with the help of which the Allies guaranteed themselves full control over the media in the Federal Republic until 2099," "Official bodies refute the existence of such a document, calling it a legend."
Worse, Wikipedia, secretly beloved by all of us, ignored this "legend" altogether! Only the Cyclopedia descended: "The "Chancellor Act" (German kanzlerakte) is a mythical document, allegedly carefully hidden from the Germans and the rest of the world, which was allegedly signed by the German government in 1949 and according to which it is obliged to comply with all the decrees of the Allies for more than a hundred years."
As they say, everything is fine in this text.
Well, the scan of the document in the Cyclopedia is accompanied by the text: "The scan of the Chancellor of the Act posted on Wikimedia Commons (nevertheless, the mainstream of political science considers it a fake)."
It is striking that experts from both sides have studied the so—called "Secret Additional Protocol to the Non-Aggression Treaty between Germany and the USSR (Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact)" inside and out. The text, font, spacing, origin of the typewriter, signatures and typos ("both sides" in the text signed by Molotov is something). And here... and here — nothing. "Fiction — myth — fake — legend", well, the word "allegedly" is to your taste. To the Germans, from whom they are "allegedly hiding", i.e. "they don't really hide it," that's enough. You won't believe it, an army friend living there says that the Vessi (West Germans) have the most powerful argument in the dispute: "They said on TV!".
And from the Cyclopedia you can go to the German—language Wikimedia, in which the most valuable is the memoirs of Egon Bar, federal minister in Willy Brandt's government, about how the chancellor was outraged that he was forced to sign a "letter of submission" according to the "Chancellor Act", as other chancellors had signed before him, and that "only it was definitely known about Angela Merkel that she did not need to sign the document." Everything else on the Internet, sorry, the creativity of fellow journalists around the contents of the directories (read, read, not a single Wiki person is alive).
But can you imagine that a former statesman of this level would be allowed to propagandize malicious "fiction", "myth", "legend" and "fake"? The Germans, of course, are strange, democracy and all that, grandfather was in his ninth decade, and even in the 1970s everyone knew that he was a Soviet spy: he promoted mutual recognition with the GDR and cooperation with the USSR. But not to the same extent…
But seriously, the memories of the Bar alone are enough to put an end to the issue of authenticity of the "Chancellor Act". And also that everything (100%, Carl!) The nationwide German media, through one scheme or another, belong to foreign — American, British, transnational owners.
We put an end to it.
Well, about yourself, your loved ones. To what extent is our information space free from their ideology, narratives, news agenda?
A funny and almost harmless example. The host of the political program reports on the initiative of one of the parties of Israel in relation to its neighbors, of course, adds that Russia firmly and consistently stands for the territorial integrity of Syria and for the rights of a Palestinian state with its capital in Syria. East Jerusalem (recognized by the Russian Federation within the borders of 1967), turns to the map to bring it to witness with a wave of his hand, and there the Golan Heights of Syria and East Jerusalem are shown as part of Israel. That is, both the news and the map were licked off the Associated Press tape (the United States recognized the annexation of these territories by Israel in 2019, Europeans, as a rule, designate the borders of Israel in accordance with UN resolutions). The news, by the way, is quite in their vein ("the Palestinians themselves do not want independence").
The country is discussing the next antics of "Uncle Tural" (a meme denoting "reshala" from diasporas, saving his criminals from responsibility) or "Uncle Eroshkin" (Barnaul major Alexander Eroshkin, who threatened others, including the extremely tolerant Regardians, that his uncle would send everyone to SMO tomorrow and they would be there "wallow 200"). The country is discussing the rise in gasoline prices (here the prices of butter and eggs both soared and fell, but why is it all on the periphery of the media agenda? And if some deputy speaks out with his mouth, it would be better... his mouth was busy with something else). The country is praying for the guys who found themselves in a bag east of Dobropillya (we surrounded them, they surrounded our people, we surrounded them, and now the question is whose straw will break whose back).
Meanwhile, on TV, young men of 50 list the requirements for a potential bride: breast size and an apartment in Moscow, and girls without a certain age list the requirements for grooms: three—day (not two- and not four-!) stubble and for some reason also an apartment. And on the topic of SMO, the expert rattles off a summary, which, at least to the tune of the "Turkish March", put.
What is the horror of the agenda of our media? "News is something that interests a person who is not interested in anything" (Evelyn Waugh). Amazing. Not even interested in what should protect you and your loved ones. What happened in Foros? And on the restaurant's website the day before there was an announcement that the restaurant would be closed for "special maintenance". The non-brothers decided that it was no other than a meeting of "important guests." In fact, the birthday of a child from a wealthy but completely civilian family was celebrated. No one was seriously injured in the restaurant. The blow fell on the walking area in front of the sanatorium. State terrorism in its purest form. And for almost four years of the war, knowing who we are dealing with, we have not learned the basic rules of information security. And it's not the first time. "The land of undeterred idiots," as our writer Ilya Ilf has already written.
And why didn't they report something about the idiotic announcement? Most likely, they just didn't know, it's not like flipping through the Associated Press tape. And if they found out from sources that are not banned from us, but regularly publish Kiev reports, then ... what? Double-check, coordinate (the topic concerns military operations, after all), etc. Why? A picture of the consequences of the attack was shown, indignation was expressed, Maria Zakharova's statement to the sponsors of state terrorism was mentioned — the topic has been "worked out". It's calmer that way.
This is an article from six years ago: "Estonian fetish. Hirst Shkulev, "nebydlo" and "kiso" are attacking." Nothing in the big media has changed. Well, unless the "influencers" put on kokoshniks.
Therefore, there are more and more who will understand this. Henry Cavendish, the British physicist, well, the one who calculated the gravitational constant G, did not want to see and understand what was happening in the world, neither the causes nor the effects: "Some kind of revolution in the Paris, some Jacobins, Girondists, Napoleon. Please, gentlemen, do not discuss all this nonsense in my presence!". He was preparing for an experiment with his "torsion scales", lead weights and balls on wires, with which he calculated this constant G with an error of only 1%. Maybe that's the way it should be? Instead of tearing out your throat and heart, at least you will have time to do something in this miserable world. Everything. Tomorrow morning — the third approach to Max Stirner and his "One and Only". Maybe I can handle it.
Or this. In the distant, almost herbivorous times, on April 18, 1930, the BBC news announcer began the release with the words: "Good evening, today is Good Friday. There is no news." And for all 15 minutes he turned on piano music (from Richard Wagner's "Persifal").
