One of the most common myths in Postmodern America is the belief that the Mainstream Media and the Controlled Opposition (i.e. 'Alternative') Media represents two fundamentally different worldviews. This is no more true than the equally potent myth that the two parties are somehow different and don't serve the same interests. The Corporate Oligarchs---who own both the Media and the Government---rely upon the propagation and continuance of these myths to keep up the illusion that America is a vibrant, participatory Democracy.
As we enter the Accelerationist Phase of the Great Reset, led by figures like Elon Musk who himself is both a media mogul and WEF operative, we are witnessing today a second revolutionary phase in Media Consolidation. The first occurred mostly from the mid-1990s to the 2010s when Government stripped away legal safeguards against media consolidation and encroached heavily on the symbiotic relationship between itself and the so-called 'free press.' The repeals, contrary to what many believe, were joint-efforts led by both factions of the Uniparty.
Through a combination of Lawfare and intimidation, a coordinated assault has been launched against the Mainstream branch of the Corporate Media. Now, if an actual Conservative approach were being taken: i.e. breaking up monopolies, ending Regulatory Capture, and closing things like the Revolving-Door, and reinstating Anti-Propaganda Laws, positive steps would be taken to restore some semblance to a First Amendment again. However, this is not the approach that the Administration is taking.
In perfect harmony with the blueprint outlined in Mein Kampf Project 2025, the objectives of the Great Reset, and the vision of the Dark Enlightment, the Tech Lords and other interested parties running the current Administration do not seek to terminate media monopolies and restore free-market competition: they seek to take over the Mass-Media and unite it under one aegis. In other words, the Mainstream Media has served its purpose to the Oligarchs and has become expendable.
Most of the True Believers choose to remain in blissful ignorance of the fact that the 'news sources' they trust so completely are themselves deeply embedded with the Uniparty and heavily influenced by foreign ideologues, including many dangerous religious cults.
Fox News Network, owned by WEF member Rupert Murdoch, has contributed nearly two dozen of its operatives to key positions in the Trump 47 Administration. Murdoch's enterprises are heavily funded by the same autocratic Gulf State regimes visited by Trump and his Corporate entourage last week.
The aforementioned Elon Musk, likewise, is heavily indebted the Saudi Monarchy, including a fat payout for a big share in the Twitter hostile takeover. One of Musk's first acts upon this takeover was to appoint more of his and the Saudi royal family's WEF pals to key leadership positions at X.
Yet, this is what we're supposed to believe is draining the swamp and restoring press freedom. The fact is that this Administration has merely shifted the labels and is enforcing speech codes and setting up its own disinformation outlets just as aggressively as the previous one did. There has been almost no resistance from Mainstream 'journalists' of course. They long ago sold out any principles that they might have had once and have realistically adjusted themselves to the New Normal. Most Americans likely will do the same. The Patriot Act first and the Scamdemic secondly, demonstrated that Americans are unwilling to fight for anything as arcane as the First Amendment. Still, they'll keep the First Amendment around in spite of its being a dead letter, while the Oligarchs and their paid parrots keep up the Official Narrative of Protecting our Freedoms.
