Crime is often obscured by distance and rhetoric. If you can’t see it, you can’t change it. Thus, you must make the invisible visible. Crimes are invisible to the public until they are brought into full view, then policy can be changed to reflect the visage of the invisible.

“We who in engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive,” said Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

What the American corporate media is engaged in today is criminal. In fact, Trump called out that invisible enemy almost in a Biblical way and this was appropriate. Because sometimes, if you know what to look for, you can “see” something that is “invisible.” It is a valuable spiritual skill. The spiritual or psychologically intuitive ability is quantifiable. You cannot only view the deeper reality of the unseen realm, you can back it up with hard data. Making the invisible enemy of the media visible is not that difficult. It’s just a different way of looking at things. Seeing what you may not have seen before first requires you to suspend beliefs you may hold, like that journalists are authorities, experts, or more intelligent than you. With most any job, the media people operate within a corporate culture of very specific business strategies. Journalists are first and last employees (or contractors).

While it’s easy to call people in the media today evil and their deception as the devil’s tactical maneuvers, journalists are just doing the job assigned to them. They’ve got a spouse, kids and need the paycheck. A roof and clothes are probably important, too. Most journalists are clueless to the corporate-backed subterfuge and criminal schemes. That said, this is certainly not spiritual warfare, not really. It may not have occurred to you how complete a corporation’s penetration into the minds of its employees is, but the media these days make that act unmistakable. The counter to their lies, deception, and deceit is to make them visible. Set aside the self-inflicted crises, the drama and the mayhem. Because agitation in the Soviet sense is the modus operandi. Seeing the unseen requires us to resist the corporate schemes by refusing them, doing everything we can to stand firm in opposing the emotional responses that they seek to manipulate in us. Look for the “sell,” the giveaway, that reveals the scheme and helps to inform us. Look for the obvious ploy that appears ridiculously ham-handed when you realize that lady behind the desk on a studio set just wants to get paid. It’s consumerism. You have no need to buy what she’s selling. In fact, the coercive nature of that “sell” is what gives it away.

Here is the spiritual part. People who have never suffered may never ever possess the ability I have described, even if a media hoax is right front of their faces and telling them by loud speaker straight out it is a hoax, with signs flashing. That’s the cold, hard truth. Privileged people, folks who are materialistically comfortable, don’t consider the everyday injustices so many others face. Great leaders like FDR, JFK and MLK suffered greatly and therefore understood and championed democracy accordingly.The data is there for that, too. Suffering seems to be required to understand that people sometimes don’t mean what they say. And sometimes those words are highly criminal in nature.

Lord knows, I’ve verbally attacked some of the people who call themselves journalists —and, frankly, most of them probably deserved it— but it’s important to remember famous journalist Marie Colvin with her eyepatch, her pretty pearl choker and her little black dress (pictured above). What a heartbreaking story was hers. Though Marie Colvin was American she was the agent of UK aristocrats but she was unaware of the fact, and was actually proud of her work, because of her obliviousness to the broader and deeper reality around her. To her, for example, the war in Chechnya was simply bombings by Russia, “an indiscriminate bombing of Chechen villages,” and she had no curiosity as to why whatever was the occurring was actually happening. Instead, she was obsessed by and focused only on the suffering civilians on the U.S.-UK-backed side experienced. The owner of her newspaper, Rupert Murdoch, knew the historical background, but her employers never told her about that, and she never asked them about it. They simply couldn’t find any other journalist who was stupid enough to do their bidding in their bosses’ former Empire and who was willing, indeed eager, to accept the pay that they offered to do it. This well-intentioned, but willingly ignorant, employee lost an eye — and was nearly killed — because of her being embedded there, with what were actually (though she never knew it) UK proxy-forces. She thought that she was helping “the good guys” in a war against “the bad guys.” She was the archetypal star-“journalist,” having faith in “our” side. She is beloved, by her “journalistic” colleagues, as if she hadn’t been merely the empire’s most effective war-propagandist.

In the above paragraph I have heavily plagiarized top journalist Eric Zuesse and his most excellent article. My much lesser contribution here is that Marie Colvin was an employee of a big corporation, the Sunday Times. We ought to remember her that way. I think we are better people when we seek knowledge through compassion and understanding.

Today, U.S. financial markets ended the worst week since the 2008 global financial crisis. Also a phony virus scare for influenza has shut down the world. The two are unrelated in cause and effect, but the latter (the Virus Hoax) is blocking attention of the former (financial crisis). The “Atlanticist” financial system is sinking. The ship is an unsalvageable financial wreck created through decades of British economic policies. That Atlantic City’s Donald Trump would be in office when there’s a possible end to the casino economy is so ironic, but also good for us. You can be sure the corporate media will continue to conceal the true nature of the situation on every level. The bankrupt, global financial system will continue to fall apart. What is suggested is a that trading be halted and an orderly bankruptcy reorganization be implemented.

You see, the corporate media is part of the problem. Their scripted behavior is like that of children of an alcoholic who cover-up a tenuous situation in an attempt to help their parent; meanwhile, that bad intervention only exacerbates the alcoholism and prevents full recovery. The 2008 financial crisis wasn’t created by the fairytale told to Americans by the corporate media and the “too big to fail” response was just as ludicrous and damaging to our nation. Our current financial crisis is caused as much by the British imperial financial system as it is by the codependent corporate media. Instead of trying to contain and mitigate the impact of a yearly influenza season like a band of Howler monkeys let loose in grocery store, both the government and the media ought to be trying to rescue our nation from the decades-long self-destruction of globalization and free trade, which ultimately drove the election of a Donald Trump. We’ve got to talk about the awful impact of imperialistic globalism like intelligent human beings. As I’ve written, we need to refer back to President Franklin Roosevelt’s mobilization for World War II, in which he succeeded in mobilizing the entire government and the financial and industrial sectors of the U.S. economy. Because the globalists are after America’s sovereignty.

New sets of financial and economic relationships based on national sovereignty will now have to be formed. This crisis is bringing about a change in thinking that has been long overdue. If the media blocks this, they’re participating in yet another criminal act against America. Just as they did during FDR’s admin, corporations and the very wealthy have no interest in seeing American democracy flourish. Their bottom line is greed. What is different is that the media is far more powerful now than it was then. As a nation, we critically need media reform. I think it is most important to remember that people in the media are corporate employees. They are essentially idiots. That’s our baseline. Remember Marie.
