THE SEARCH FOR TRUTH IS A DANGEROUS THING
by Harold Thomas
The mind-bending power of the masters of the media

In USA 1983, there were fifty dominant media corporations, today there are five.
"The New Media Monopoly" (2004 edition), author Ben Bagdikian explains that "though today's media reach more Americans than ever before, they are controlled by the smallest number of Jewish owners than ever before. In 1983, there were fifty dominant media corporations, today there are five.

These five corporations decide what most citizens will -- or will not -- learn." Bagdikian calls today's media landscape a "monopoly" - Bagdikian argues that the major media corporations all work together to consolidate control of the industry and profit streams.

h) Has it ever occurred to you to question why the three major news networks all report virtually the same stories AND point of view night after night after night? Is your intellect flattered by the "expanded" reports of those VERY SAME STORIES on public television? Did you wonder why ONLY CNN was allowed to "report" on the Persian Gulf war? Have you never wondered why you are treated to such a steady diet of news ? The news, friends, is worse than a lie. It is a calculated mixture of facts, lies, and distortions, creating a hypnotic fantasy which controls the masses as surely as if they had electrodes planted in their brains. The media lulls us to sleep or jolts us into carefully aimed paths of action, ACCORDING TO THE AGENDA OF THE "ELITE".

The Jewish media-power in Great Britain
Here follows a lengthy analysis and study of the Jewish media-occupation in Great Britain. Written in 1997, this text describes the present state of affairs when it comes to Jewish media power in Great Britain. It is crucial, in the battle against the Jewish racist totalitarianism, to have a basic knowledge about the jewish media-dictatorship-monopoly and about the political power the zionits possess and who are - as Jewish political actors - the leaders of this Jewish Power.

"Today the film makers are the people who control the most powerful medium in the world, and art that can create ideals, change language or topple governments."

John Baxter in the Daily Mail (28th December 1995)

"The people" cannot own, control and regulate the media. That can only be done by a small minority - a mere fraction of the population, in fact much fewer than one per cent. And it is this minority which is able to determine which facts the people will be allowed to know about, which events will be reported to them, which points of view they will be able to examine and evaluate, which political parties it is good to vote for and which not, which politicians are decent, upright, honourable and capable citizens and which are disreputable, incompetent, "dangerous" and "extreme".

This invests that minority who control the mass media with enormous power - perhaps even greater power than a prime minister or cabinet. It is this minority which determines the climate of "public opinion" in which politicians have to operate, the "public opinion" to which they have to defer and which they dare not offend if they are to get elected and stay elected.

Even when the mass media consisted mainly of newspapers, and only a small minority read those newspapers, this power was considerable. Today, when it embraces mass-circulation newspapers and television, it is colossal beyond imagination.

And we must not forget another fact about the media. Their political influence extends far beyond newspaper reports and articles, and television programmes, of a direct political nature - connected, that is, with current affairs that bear upon politics. In a much more subtle way, they can influence people's thought patterns by other means: newspaper stories, pages dealing with entertainment and popular culture, movies, TV "soaps", "educational" programmes: all these types of fare help form human values, concepts of good and evil, right and wrong, sense and nonsense and what is "fashionable" and "unfashionable". These human value systems, in turn, shape people's attitude to political issues, influence how they vote and therefore determine who holds political power.

Yet for some strange reason there is very little public discussion in Britain today, as an example, of who actually exercises media control. The people are encouraged to get tremendously excited about the outcome of a general election, even of local government elections, yet these contests probably have far less a bearing on the question of who wields power over us than the much more crucial one of who regulates "public opinion" and therefore determines the agenda both for the contesting of elections and for what is done in government by whoever wins.

Any study of what is happening on the national scene must therefore today include a study of the workings of the mass media: who the people are who own, control and operate those media, and to what purposes their immense power is being put.

Discussion programmes on TV and radio dealing with current affairs and topical public issues are presented so as to convey the impression that they are conducted in accordance with the letter and spirit of "democracy", with various viewpoints given a hearing. However, where the discussion threatens to touch upon issues considered "sensitive" to the judaized establishment which controls TV and radio, it is carefully stage-managed so that "dangerous" viewpoints are excluded. This is particularly noticeable where discussion concerns matters of the Jewish State of Israel and its not so very glorious aspects, when relating to doubts concerning the alleged mass-slaughter of Jews during WW II and when some one tries to discuss the power wielded by the Jewish minority.

One TV programme on British TV a short time ago was devoted to the subject of "anti-semitism", which was presented as being on the increase throughout Europe, including Britain. Various spokesmen, some Jewish and some non-Jewish, appeared on the programme to give their views. After the programme had proceded a little while, it became quite clear that the only differences between the participants lay in their attitudes as to how "anti-semitism" should be treated. Some maintained that it should be rigorously suppressed by the introduction of tighter laws against it.

What was entirely absent from the discussion was any contribution offering an explanation of the viewpoint of the so-called "antisemites". Of course, "anti-semitism" itself is a misleading term deliberately adopted by our media-controllers so as to suggest that those thus labelled want to ill-treat Jews, even kill them, for no reason than that they are Jews, whereas the vast majority of people described as "anti-semites" simply oppose what they see as excessive Jewish power. Whether or not they are correct in their assessment of this power is beside the point; if "democracy" is to be more than just an empty phrase, they should be allowed to state their case in public then have that case seriously examined and debated. This, however, is the very last thing our media-controllers want. Therefore, when any programme discussing anti-semitism (i.e. criticism of Jewish power) is broadcast on TV or radio, "anti-semites" (i.e. critics of Jewish power) are deliberately excluded, so that the "discussion" is not really a discussion at all, merely an imitation of one.

But who is behind it all? Who are the people who determine what is watched on television and printed in the newspapers? This is not so easy a study because a great many of the people concerned operate in the shadows. And even in the case of those whose names are known, what is known about their backgrounds and their connections? Very little.

For this reason, very few people in Britain are aware of the huge influence over the mass media exercised by a certain ethnic minority, namely the Jews.

Straightaway, we can expect that mention of this minority will put many readers on the defensive. Is this "anti-semitism"?, some will ask. That, you see, is the first example of the hypnotic effect of media power. The mass media in Britain today have managed to implant into many people's minds the idea that it is "anti-semitic" even to acknowledge that members of the Jewish community play a large part in controlling our news and opinion and to question whether this is a good thing for Britain. In the uncomfortable feeling provoked in a number of readers of this text by the very mention of the word "Jews", there is provided the first lesson in media indoctrination and brainwashing!

We believe that in this study there should be no "no-go" areas, no forbidden avenues of enquiry. We are concerned here with facts. What deductions people make from those facts is their decision. Our intention is that they should be roused from their former ignorance and apathy and persuaded to join our political struggle to achieve, through peaceable and legal means a more just, non-racist society. A society not dominated by a racist minority believing to be "Gods Chosen People".

members of the Jewish community (whether practising or not) exercise a power and influence in Britain's mass media that are out of all proportion to their numbers in the population. We believe that this is a fact that should not be hidden but should be known - and discussed. No great issue of concerncan be properly examined unless all the facts pertaining it are known and are faced - fairly and squarely, with nothing swept under the carpet for fear that some noisy element may object.

In a way, the study serves a purpose that is supposed to be served by the mass media in any democracy: The purpose of free and unfettered enquiry and of absolutely free expression of facts and opinion. Unfortunately, there is neither free enquiry nor free expression of either facts or opinion in the mass media in Britain today - and least of all on the subject of this study. Just when did you last see an article in a major newspaper examining, in proper depth, Jewish influence and control in Britain's news and information industry? Just when did you last see a programme on TV dealing with the same topic? The answer to this question proves our point.

One phrase beloved of those who exercise influence in the media is "investigative journalism". The "investigative journalist" is depicted as the crusading hero whose quest for the truth and whose dedication to the public interest leads him or her to take up the cudgels against all the forces of would-be suppression and censorship - even when, as is sometimes the case, this leads to a particularly loathsome form of intrusion into people's private lives. But one form of investigative journalism which the media are most certainly not anxious to encourage is that which enquires into the identity of their own controllers and the underlying agenda to which they operate. In these pages we hope to remedy this glaring omission.

Keeping Ownership in Perspective

"Give us just a third ot the places on any committee and we will guarantee to control that committee." This was simply a statement of the fact that a minority in any body, public or private, which knows exactly what it wants and acts together as a co-ordinated group, bound by a single loyalty and a single objective can quite easily get its way over a larger, but uncoordinated, mass of people with no such bonds, acting individually and in pursuit of no definite or conscious objective. It is not our claim in this booklet that Jews necessarily outnumber non-Jews in all sections of the media (though in certain important ones this is indeed the case) but only that the former's solidarity and oneness of loyalty, interest and purpose gives them an immense advantage over others in any bid for power and influence.

In the following text, we have highlighted individuals of Jewish origin by setting their names in bold type. Not all of the names in question will seem obviously Jewish; it has been the habit of Jews over the centuries to change their names, adopting those which best blend with the populations of the countries in which they have settled. Where persons with non-Jewish names are designated as Jewish, the reader can rest assured that extensive research has established them.

There can be little doubt that television is the most powerful force for the presentation of the news and the formation of attitudes. Go into any workplace, pub, school, shop, or other institution and the chances are that the conversation will get around to the previous night's "soap" or something of particular note on the evening's news. And what was shown - and not shown - on the TV screen will in all probability have affected the way in which the viewers see the world.

By using such techniques, the controllers of the TV stations have enormous power to shape popular opinion. And a glance through any TV guide will reveal that, by providing us with an endless diet of pro-Zionist pro-Jewish propaganda, the masters of the TV stations are not shy of using that power. So just who are these people? Just who is responsible for the poison peddled by "our" television networks?

Carlton's power in "independent" television is rivalled only by the Granada Group, which is worth around £ 6.2 billion and owns two ITV franchises: Granada TV and London Weekend Television. It also has a 20 per cent stake in ITN and Yorkshire Tyne Tees TV (with Lazards Merchant Bank); a half-share in London News Network, and an 11 per cent stake in BSkyB, in partnership with which it has set up Granada Sky Broadcasting (GSkyB), a joint cable and satellite venture which launched seven new channels on 1st October 1996. BSkyB in turn has stakes in the "adults-only" Playboy Channel. Among Granada's satellite channels is Granada Talk TV, which includes an afternoon teen show, F2F, which is presented by Sacha Baron Cohen.

Less well-known companies

The power to decide which films are bought or put back into circulation has a very significant behind-the-scenes influence on the kind of films which get made in the first place.

The UK's largest privately-owned media buying concern, TMB, is headed by Alan Rich, Chairman and Chief Executive and has four Jewish directors.

The power of the purse is nowhere more apparent than in the field of advertising, whose magnates not only decide what images are used to promote particular products and ideas, but also have a great deal of influence over where vast corporate advertising budgets are spent.

Their ability to determine which channels, magazines and newspapers are used - or not used - for major advertising campaigns gives such individuals an immense amount of influence over the producers and editors of supposedly independent media operations.

Companies placing advertisements also have a great deal of "clout" over the media. There have been a number of instances when the big High Street retail chains - another area dominated by Jews, but outside the scope of this survey

- has been used to persuade newspaper owners and editors to toe the line. The Sunday Times, which was persuaded to break its contract with historian David Irving to translate its Goebbels Diaries extracts.

And one shouldn´t forget that in Japan the popular Japanese magazine Marco Polo was forced to close down by an international advertising boycott organised by Zionists, after carrying an article pointing out many of the glaring flaws in the "Six Million Gassed Jews" propaganda story.

Tony Kaye got his first big break working with Saatchi & Saatchi and went on to win 13 "Pencils" (the ad world's equivalent of Oscars) in six years.

Although the printed word is no longer as powerful as it once was, and although the broadcasting media are now the most important factor in shaping general popular attitudes,

the owners, editors and journalists of national newspapers still have immense power. In particular, it is the national newspapers which decide the issues on which elections will, and will not, be fought.

Press coverage is still the key factor which makes or breaks politicians, and which sets the parameters of "acceptable" political thought.

The Jewish presence in the press is not as all-pervading as it is in the broadcast media.

But such is the cowardice of the vast majority of the intellectual prostitutes known as journalists, that it seems that Organised Jewry is able to impose its line on the British press by rather more remote control than in the case of television.

Having said which, the number of Jews in key positions in the tangled web of newspaper ownership and production is still out of all proportion to their numbers in the British population as a whole.

The same can be said of publishing generally, with the additional factor that many publishing houses are owned by Jewish-owned companies based in the USA.

Associated Newspapers

As well as owning the Daily Mail and London Evening Standard, Associated Newspapers has a one-fifth stake in the TV news company ITN, owns 20 per cent of the ITV company Westcountry TV, 14 per cent of Selec TV and nearly half of Teletext.

Rupert Murdoch Its Chief Executive, , is usually regarded as a "mamzer Jew". marriage to the daughter of a wealthy Jewish family, Elisabeth Joy Greene. The family fortune enabled Murdoch Senior to buy himself a radio station and two Adelaide newspapers

When his father died and the young Murdoch returned to Australia to take over the two newspapers. Over the next three years Murdoch plonked down millions to buy newpapers and radio and TV stations all over Australia. By 1968 Murdoch's media empire was worth £ 46 million. His buying spree continued throughout the 1970s, as he set up in Britain and then the United States. With his move into satellite TV and film studios, the last few years have seen Murdoch establish his influence on a truly global scale, with assets of £ 14.3 billion.

Nor is Murdoch shy of using this enormous power to further his, and his backers' own political agenda.

A long-term key-player in the Observer Trust was the financial journalist, publisher, and investment wheeler-dealer Sir Stephen (Harry) Waley-Cohen, who was involved with the upper echelons of this heavyweight left-of-centre Sunday newspaper, between 1976 and 1981.

The Observer is in the more discreet hands of the Guardian Group. This holding company has directoral links with Hambros merchant bank,

whose Directors include Lord Hollick, whose United News and Media Group owns 30 regional newspapers in South East England alone,

as well as periodicals such as Exchange & Mart.

Hollick is reported as considering selling off his UPN South East operation in order to concentrate on his regional newspapers in Yorkshire and the North West.

A detailed examination of the question of who controls the book publishing houses is another area beyond the scope of this slim study, but a brief overview reveals much the same situation as with the rest of the mass media.

In addition to its interests noted above, the Pearson Group owns not only the

Financial Times Group

and, in partnership with N. M. Rothschild merchant bank, the rabidly internationalist prophet of the global economy

The Economist magazine.

Pearson also owns the major publishing companies

Penguin and Longman.

Michael Lambert is the editor of the Financial Times

Paula Kahn is the Chief Executive Chairman of the Longman Group is

Simon & Schuster is only part of the publishing division of

Sumner Redstone's Viacom empire, which also owns US publishers

Their Advance Publications holding company is worth an estimated $ 8 billion,

and includes 26 daily newspapers, 87 cable TV stations

and some two dozen major magazines, including up-market titles such as

Vogue,

Vanity Fair

Mademoiselle.

Since the vast majority of the films shown on British cinema and TV screens are imported from America, it is impossible to comment on the power of the mass media to mould and direct public opinion in Britain without looking at the ownership of the US movie industry, centred in Hollywood.

In his acclaimed book, An Empire of Their Own, How the Jews Invented Hollywood, Neal Gabler pointed to the Jewish origins of Hollywood,

under movie pioneers such as Louis B. Mayer and Irving Thalberg. "Of 85 names engaged in production", a 1936 survey noted,

"53 are Jews. And the Jewish advantage holds in prestige as well as numbers." Little has changed since then;

in a recent Premiere magazine "Special Power Issue" -

ranking the 100 most powerful people in the "Industry" - the top 12 were Jewish.

No black or British industry executives were even ranked.

Every so often, a not- jew journalist or actor comments on this, and is invariably forced to make a grovelling apology within a matter of hours.

Marlon Brando, for example, hit the headlines in April 1996, when he denounced the Jewish-run movie establishment for exploiting racial stereotypes, telling the Lany King Show that:

"We have seen the nigger, we have seen the greaseball, we have seen the chink, the slit-eyed dangerous Jap. .. but we never saw the kike because they know perfectly well that's where you draw the wagons around... Hollywood is run by Jews, owned by Jews and they should have greater sensitivity."

Another major Hollywood power is MCA-Universal Pictures.

Canadian-based alcohol giant Seagram brought a controlling interest in MCA.

Another Japanese company which put some noses out of joint by buying a chunk of Hollywood was Sony,

Victor Kaufman's Columbia Pictures in 1989 for $ 3.4 billion and $ 1.2 billion and were quite happy to leave the everyday running to the "experts",

Sony were also stung by the reckless and inexplicably incompetent management of Peter Guber, who had been recommended to run the show by Walter Yetkinoff, the Chairman of CBS Records. After a series of shattering flops, Sony were rumoured to be thinking of selling up.

David Puttnam, who ran Columbia during the mid-eighties, gave an interesting insight into the mentality of their rivals: "The Japanese are probably congenitally incapable of managing a movie studio.

That's not to insult them, it's simply a result of the very ordered way their minds work. I think the Germans are likely to also prove incapable of managing a movie studio."

the situation could be resolved by a clever lawyer who could "unbundle" the company:

with future production and investment taken over by someone else, someone probably more competent or more naive."

In the meantime, things now seem to be pretty much in order, with

Alan Levine heading the Sony Pictures Division,

Curtiss, editor of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. Keith Rupert was born in Melbourne, Australia, on March 11, 1931. “Rupert’s father, Sir Keith Murdoch, was a newspaper publisher, and his mother an Orthodox Jew,” Curtiss wrote, “although Murdoch never offers that information in his biographies.” Murdoch’s father married Elisabeth Joy Greene, daughter of Rupert Greene in 1928. They had one son, Keith Rupert and three daughters. Later in life, Keith Rupert chose to use Rupert, the first name of his Jewish maternal grandfather. source
