Vatic Note: In case you have not noticed, they are slowly, but surely taking control of local law enforcement away from the people. Another gutting of our Constitution that gives Sheriffs supreme control within their county governments for law enforcement and he must be elected by the people. Just one more small step to raising this area into a global condition. Soon, nothing will be run from this country... it will all be run from Rothschilds England/Israel. How we get around this one is recall any public officials who vote to do exactly that. Then elected someone to replace him who will refuse to do as instructed by those who have no legal authority to order us to do anything. Non cooperation is the next step, and then the last resort.
A look into the third layer of government called special districts.
The
Salt Lake County has transferred all patrol and investigation services
of the Sheriff's office to a district, giving up his control and
autonomy over these men. And they are no longer lawful Sheriff's
Deputies, and instead have been transferred to become municipal district
police of the county.
The Sheriff's Department was officially dissolved on January 1, 2010
The
Sheriff was appointed Chief Executive Officer of this district, while
still being the elected Sheriff, wearing two contradicting hats.
This is happening everywhere... this is the Federalization of Police and Fire.

What you do is click on the name of the director and their background comes up temporarily, it goes away when you move the cursor, so stay with it. Most were heavily involved in the chemical industry before serving on the Kellogg's board. One of the directors currently serves on the governing board of Yale University, which is the top secret society of skull and bones, so that screams volumes about these companies.
I chose kelloggs' because the article says the cereals are the worst for sugar that is not really sugar. Since some of the Illum families are heavy hitters in the chemical industry, it made sense they would make sure they have a presence on these boards, and since children are primary eaters of cereal, I also decided to see why they are suffering type 2 diabetes so young. Now we know why.
Don't forget, the protocols written by the Zionists in 1897 had made a point to go after our children in this war of deception, and thus control what kind of adults they become. Anyway, you check it out and read their biographies and see what you think.
As for us being weird by American standards: We’re weird
by NZ standards too. For example, we go to almost no birthday parties
for other children because people are drinking Pepsi and eating baked
atrocities with sprinkles on top. MSG sausages, etc.
One of Owen’s friends had her birthday party and Becky decided to try to go.
We did ok until the cake came out (it was bright green with some sort
of candy dots on top) and Becky just grabbed everything and we fled
like Mexicans on the freeway signs in San Diego.
One of our other friends (also homeschooling) was there with her
children and they eat like we do. She also immediately packed up and
took off when she saw that cake.
haha
Besides avoiding refined sugar, the fact that we don’t eat bread or
pasta is too much to try to explain to people. It’s easier to just stay
home.
Via: Medical Xpress:
Is sugar making us sick? A team of scientists at the University
of California in San Francisco believes so, and they’re doing something
about it. They launched an initiative to bring information on food and
drink and added sugar to the public by reviewing more than 8,000
scientific papers that show a strong link between the consumption of
added sugar and chronic diseases."
The common belief until now was that sugar just makes us fat, but
it’s become clear through research that it’s making us sick. For
example, there’s the rise in fatty-liver disease, the emergence of Type 2
diabetes as an epidemic in children and the dramatic increase in
metabolic disorders.
…
Added sugars, Schmidt said, are sugars that don’t occur naturally in
foods. They are found in 74 percent of all packaged foods, have 61 names
and often are difficult to decipher on food labels. Although the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration requires food companies to list ingredients
on packaging, the suggested daily values of natural and added sugars
can’t be found.
The FDA is considering a proposal to require food manufacturers to
list information on sugars in the same way they do for fats,
cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrates and protein. But because so much
added sugar is dumped into so many products, one average American
breakfast of cereal would likely exceed a reasonable daily limit.
“SugarScience shows that a calorie is not a calorie but rather
that the source of a calorie determines how it’s metabolized,” said
pediatric endocrinologist Robert Lustig, a member of the SugarScience
team and the author of “Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar,
Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease.” Lustig said that more than half
of the U.S. population is sick with metabolic syndrome, a group of risk
factors for chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and liver
disease that are directly related to the excessive consumption of added
sugars in the Western diet."

Vatic Note: This is a tough one and if Jim Stone had not reported on a piece of information contained toward the end of this report, I would not know who to believe, but since Jim has been right on with every single report I have used of his, I am going with this being accurate and real. But its important you read and decide. I have read that Ms. Nuland is a bit of a non diplomat when you cross her, so this is possible.
Read it and you decide. If its true, then Cheney is simply fronting for the khazar Zionist bankers, so it doesn't really matter who Obama's handler is, it matters that the bottom line is, its the Khazar Zionists and that has been proven time and again. And they need to be gone. Just read this and all of it can be verified with respect to her service and back ground prior to Obama's administration. She has worked for the cabal in various administrations run by the same people as Obama works for, so it matters only that she should be removed as soon as possible.
These people are insane and are trying to start WW III. That is what has to be stopped. However, I am beginning to realize, if we just leave them alone, they will screw themselves and they have proven that to be the case, several times over. This maybe one of those times, that doing nothing, is the best strategy. Let them bring themselves down. You read and decide.
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers, March 9, 2015
A shocking report published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) today states that the Kremlin was “stunned” yesterday after Minister Sergey Lavrov endured a nearly one-hour tirade from US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland[photo top left] who, among other claims, “raged” that former Vice President Richard “Dick” Cheney was in charge of the United States, not President Barack Obama.
Secretary Nuland, also, this report continues, “bluntly warned” Minister Lavrov that should Moscow ever again provide to France, or any other NATO nation, superior “electronic-technology”, and for the Russian air force to continue disabling US warships, she would further order the American military to “aggressively respond”.
Most astoundingly, though, of Secretary Nuland’s “rages”, this report says, was her reply to Minister Lavrov when asked by whose authority she was speaking, and to which she replied, “Cheney gives the orders here now, not Obama, and you assholes better get used to it!”
Important to note about Secretary Nuland, this report notes, is that she has long been one of the top tier operatives in the Bush-Clinton Criminal Syndicate working first in the Clinton administration where she was chief of staff to US Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott before moving on to serve as deputy director for former Soviet Union affairs.
[Ed. Note: Western governments and their intelligence services actively campaign against the information found in these reports so as not to alarm their citizens about the many catastrophic Earth changes and events to come, a stance that the Sisters of Sorcha Faal strongly disagrees with in believing that it is every human beings right to know the truth.
Due to our missions conflicts with that of those governments, the responses of their ‘agents’ against us has been a longstanding misinformation/misdirection campaign designed to discredit and which is addressed in the report “Who Is Sorcha Faal?”.] The article is reproduced in accordance with Section 107 of title 17 of the Copyright Law of the United States relating to fair-use and is for the purposes of criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
Vatic Note: Its not just the medical damage and harm to our bodies, but its the total violation of our privacy rights guaranteed us under the Constitution. Think about these people..... they are so wealthy, that they have nothing to do with their time, but to indulge themselves in their global domination fantasy, and their insane dreams of who knows what. Fortunately, we are not as insane as they are , so we can't really relate to such deep mental illness as they have, and the wealth to actually indulge themselves in it.
What a horrible prison they must live in mentally and psychologically. I, frankly, can't imagine how horrible their lives must be, to only have destruction and demolishment as their goal in life, when they could be putting all that wealth to good use and advance civilization, instead of destroying it. Just look at the country they do control fully. Its a disaster of unprecedented size and scope. They should never be allowed to run anything.....
What is amazing about all of this is the fact that this is another major "SOFT KILL" weapon they are intending to use on us. The radiation alone could damage us no end, but how in the world do they think they can avoid their own families and themselves from the impact of their neighbors massive radiation output all around them?
Aaah, thats right, they are limited in their scope of thought and consideration and various outcomes that they always forget to include. Well, so be it. Maybe we should just take the meters off and leave them at their residences..... LOL Just kidding. First we have to create our own energy replacement source and we are working on that right now as we speak. Then we can leave them or reconnect them to their own homes.
Do not sucker for costly "Opt-Out" programs. IT'S EXTORTION!

Vatic Note: This could or could not be true, but whatever we decide, DO NOT GO INTO FEAR. This below is written to induce abject fear and I chose to put it up to share the "truth" part of it, but not the "FEAR" part of it. If you are RH neg, the fear works against your abilities that they fear, so stay out of fear. I found, as a one allele RH neg that it is better to get into righteous anger, then fear.
Righteous anger appears to be a higher vibrational act, then fear is. I have healed myself twice just by using my deep commitment never to allow anyone to cut me open, and it worked. I will try to do another blog to simply tell you how I did it, but the point here is to let you know that its the basis for some action together that we can do, to thwart these guys. I am still trying to determine how that will work so we can try it out and see if it does. That is for another blog.
Now, why do I believe this video is true? Because Phil Schneider was brutally murdered in the middle of his planned exposure to the threats to our country and planet, and because of all the subsequent back up we have found and published such as Admiral Byrds diary, Hitlers ventures into Antarctica and Germany's creation of a flying saucer, along with various anthropological findings by scientists that have been shared with us as well as ancient writings about "Gods" that came from the sky, including the Bible. Remember, Enoch was taken up along with a town of people, without dying first.
Now we have a fleet of these craft as well (we did a blog and showed photos of such vehicles powered by antigravity methods), and the Bill Cooper disclosures about an alien invasion to be used according to a1966 Iron Mountain report that recommends using such aliens to globalize and take control of the planet. Bill Cooper was also murdered by our government after making such disclosures. (VN: 3/13/2015 - It appears they have gutted the 1966 Iron Mountain report since I can't find it, but suffice it to say that we had it and it did contain what we have discussed. I am using this one as a sample of their attempts to achieve their plan based on that report)
I believe this was given to us, because they cannot get our guns without a fight, so they are trying to scare us into capitulating to their superior technology, but Schneider proved they are vulnerable to our simple guns. They were killed when shot at by the military/intel people that were not told about them in the lower levels. So when they came across them they used their regular weapons to fire at them and killed some of them. That is why they need our guns.

Vatic Note: As we continually say, this is not a fast food, junk information site, its an educational site and thus requires a serious effort to read, understand and learn about the subject at hand. This is just one such blog. Its the most comprehensive treatment of the subject I have found yet to date and is a must read, even if you have to reread it as I have done, to make sure you don't miss anything and you truly understand what we are dealing with here and what we are up against.
Once we know, we can deal with it and this again, is one such case. What they discuss here, only works if we, the public, do not know about it, but once you do, it changes things a great deal. Even I can see how I question things now that I took for granted before and its a curse to those who thought they were in control of our minds. I will say, though, they warned us about what they intended to do way back in 1897, when they wrote in the protocols, their intention to own and take over mass media, at the time, it was mostly publishing companies of books and magazines, and newspapers.
That is why educating and passing this kind of info around, is so important and crucial to overturning these effects, at least to a large degree, maybe not all the way, but a good shot at the efforts these self aggrandizing elite put forth to ensure their positions within the power structure. Exposure is a weapon of mass destruction and arrogance is their weakness.
The author has lived up to his promises, and his entire site is an expose of the subject of mind control and techniques, along with much info on the occult and symbolism. We do not realize just how much of our visual exposure to occult symbolism is embedded in everything we see and how that is continually fed into the brain, with or without our permission. Then desensitizing takes place, with torture as a great example. That results in each individual being manipulated through mind control, and thus our true selves are gradually buried in the mire of manipulating techniques that change us from "who" we are into a "what" we become.
No one can deny that our society has definitely changed, even during my life time. Never in my whole life have I seen our nation, not only support torture, but actually, opening, admittedly use it on bogus enemies that do not exist. I never ever thought I would see the day when Americans would approve of, condone and celebrate torturing others when it was patently obvious the use of it had nothing to do with obtaining information, rather it was to create mind controlled assassins they could send out and blame on Muslims. Personally, I believe these elite are so twisted and bent, that they also do it for personal perverted pleasure.
If it was obvious to me, then it had to be obvious to others and yet not a peep. That and the pedophilia is what sent me to the blogisphere. I have been here ever since. I keep thinking of the panty bomber that Cheney personally had released and then did not put him on the terrorist watch list, who then wore a bomb (who in their right mind does that? No one) onto a plane to blow himself and the plane up. Thus no witnesses to testify against himself and his handlers. No mind control to break. Anyway, please read this and see what you think.
Mass media is the most powerful tool used by the ruling class to manipulate the masses. It shapes and molds opinions and attitudes and defines what is normal and acceptable. This article looks at the workings of mass media through the theories of its major thinkers, its power structure and the techniques it uses, in order to understand its true role in society.
Most of the articles on this site discuss occult symbolism found in objects of popular culture. From these articles arise many legitimate questions relating to the purpose of those symbols and the motivations of those who place them there, but it is impossible for me to provide satisfactory answers to these questions without mentioning many other concepts and facts.
I’ve therefore decided to write this article to supply the theoretical and methodological background of the analyzes presented on this site as well as introducing the main scholars of the field of mass communications. Some people read my articles and think I’m saying “Lady Gaga wants to control our minds”. That is not the case. She is simply a small part of the huge system that is the mass media.
Programming Through Mass Media
Mass media are media forms designed to reach the largest audience possible. They include television, movies, radio, newspapers, magazines, books, records, video games and the internet. Many studies have been conducted in the past century to measure the effects of mass media on the population in order to discover the best techniques to influence it.
From those studies emerged the science of Communications, which is used in marketing, public relations and politics. Mass communication is a necessary tool to insure the functionality of a large democracy; it is also a necessary tool for a dictatorship. It all depends on its usage.
In the 1958 preface for A Brave New World, Aldous Huxley paints a rather grim portrait of society. He believes it is controlled by an “impersonal force”, a ruling elite, which manipulates the population using various methods.
“Impersonal forces over which we have almost no control seem to be pushing us all in the direction of the Brave New Worldian nightmare; and this impersonal pushing is being consciously accelerated by representatives of commercial and political organizations who have developed a number of new techniques for manipulating, in the interest of some minority, the thoughts and feelings of the masses.”
– Aldous Huxley, Preface to A Brave New World
His bleak outlook is not a simple hypothesis or a paranoid delusion. It is a documented fact, present in the world’s most important studies on mass media.
Here are some of them:
Elite Thinkers
Walter Lippmann
Walter Lippmann, an American intellectual, writer and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner brought forth one of the first works concerning the usage of mass media in America.
In Public Opinion (1922), Lippmann compared the masses to a “great beast” and a “bewildered herd” that needed to be guided by a governing class. He described the ruling elite as “a specialized class whose interests reach beyond the locality.” This class is composed of experts, specialists and bureaucrats.
According to Lippmann, the experts, who often are referred to as “elites,” are to be a machinery of knowledge that circumvents the primary defect of democracy, the impossible ideal of the “omnicompetent citizen.” The trampling and roaring “bewildered herd” has its function: to be “the interested spectators of action,” i.e. not participants. Participation is the duty of “the responsible man”, which is not the regular citizen.
Mass media and propaganda are therefore tools that must be used by the elite to rule the public without physical coercion. One important concept presented by Lippmann is the “manufacture of consent”, which is, in short, the manipulation of public opinion to accept the elite’s agenda. It is Lippmann’s opinion that the general public is not qualified to reason and to decide on important issues. It is therefore important for the elite to decide “for its own good” and then sell those decisions to the masses.
“That the manufacture of consent is capable of great refinements no one, I think, denies. The process by which public opinions arise is certainly no less intricate than it has appeared in these pages, and the opportunities for manipulation open to anyone who understands the process are plain enough. . . . as a result of psychological research, coupled with the modern means of communication, the practice of democracy has turned a corner.
A revolution is taking place, infinitely more significant than any shifting of economic power. . . . Under the impact of propaganda, not necessarily in the sinister meaning of the word alone, the old constants of our thinking have become variables. It is no longer possible, for example, to believe in the original dogma of democracy; that the knowledge needed for the management of human affairs comes up spontaneously from the human heart.
Where we act on that theory we expose ourselves to self-deception, and to forms of persuasion that we cannot verify. It has been demonstrated that we cannot rely upon intuition, conscience, or the accidents of casual opinion if we are to deal with the world beyond our reach.” –Walter Lippmann, Public Opinion
It might be interesting to note that Lippmann is one of the founding fathers of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the most influential foreign policy think tank in the world. This fact should give you a small hint of the mind state of the elite concerning the usage of media.
“Political and economic power in the United States is concentrated in the hands of a “ruling elite” that controls most of U.S.-based multinational corporations, major communication media, the most influential foundations, major private universities and most public utilities.
Founded in 1921, the Council of Foreign Relations is the key link between the large corporations and the federal government. It has been called a “school for statesmen” and “comes close to being an organ of what C. Wright Mills has called the Power Elite – a group of men, similar in interest and outlook shaping events from invulnerable positions behind the scenes. The creation of the United Nations was a Council project, as well as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.”
– Steve Jacobson, Mind Control in the United States
Some current members of the CFR include David Rockefeller, Dick Cheney, Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton, mega-church pastor Rick Warren and the CEOs of major corporations such as CBS, Nike, Coca-Cola and Visa.
Carl Jung
Carl Jung is the founder of analytical psychology (also known an Jungian psychology), which emphasizes understanding the psyche by exploring dreams, art, mythology, religion, symbols and philosophy. The Swiss therapist is at the origin of many psychological concepts used today such as the Archetype, the Complex, the Persona, the Introvert/Extrovert and Synchronicity.
He was highly influenced by the occult background of his family. Carl Gustav, his grandfather, was an avid Freemason (he was Grand Master) and Jung himself discovered that some of his ancestors were Rosicrucians. This might explain his great interest in Eastern and Western philosophy, alchemy, astrology and symbolism. One of his most important (and misunderstood) concept was the Collective Unconscious.
“My thesis, then, is as follows: In addition to our immediate consciousness, which is of a thoroughly personal nature and which we believe to be the only empirical psyche (even if we tack on the personal unconscious as an appendix), there exists a second psychic system of a collective, universal, and impersonal nature which is identical in all individuals. This collective unconscious does not develop individually but is inherited. It consists of pre-existent forms, the archetypes, which can only become conscious secondarily and which give definite form to certain psychic contents.”
– Carl Jung, The Concept of the Collective Unconscious
The collective unconscious transpires through the existence of similar symbols and mythological figures in different civilizations. Archetypal symbolsseem to be embedded in our collective subconscious, and, when exposed to them, we demonstrate natural attraction and fascination. Occult symbols can therefore exert a great impact on people, even if many individuals were never personally introduced to the symbol’s esoteric meaning. Mass media thinkers, such as Edward D. Bernays, found in this concept a great way to manipulate the public’s personal and collective unconscious.
1955 Time Magazine cover featuring Carl Jung. Looks a little like Avatar, doesn’t it?
Edward Bernays
Edward Bernays is considered to be the “father of public relations” and used concepts discovered by his uncle Sigmund Freud to manipulate the public using the subconscious. He shared Walter Lippmann’s view of the general population by considering it irrational and subject to the “herd instinct”. In his opinion, the masses need to be manipulated by an invisible government to insure the survival of democracy.
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.
We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society.
Our invisible governors are, in many cases, unaware of the identity of their fellow members in the inner cabinet.”
– Edward Bernays, Propaganda
Bernay’s trailblazing marketing campaigns profoundly changed the functioning of American society. He basically created “consumerism” by creating a culture wherein Americans bought for pleasure instead of buying for survival. For this reason, he was considered by Life Magazine to be in the Top 100 most influential Americans of the 20th century.
Harold Lasswell
In 1939-1940, the University of Chicago was the host of a series of secret seminars on communications. (VN: home of the US khazars) These think tanks were funded by the Rockefeller foundation and involved the most prominent researchers in the fields of communications and sociological studies.
One of these scholars was Harold Lasswell, a leading American political scientist and communications theorist, specializing in the analysis of propaganda. He was also of the opinion that a democracy, a government ruled by the people, could not sustain itself without a specialized elite shaping and molding public opinion through propaganda.
In his Encyclopaedia of the Social Sciences, Lasswell explained that when elites lack the requisite force to compel obedience, social managers must turn to “a whole new technique of control, largely through propaganda.” He added the conventional justification: we must recognize the “ignorance and stupidity [of] … the masses and not succumb to democratic dogmatisms about men being the best judges of their own interests.”
Lasswell extensively studied the field of content analysis in order to understand the effectiveness of different types of propaganda. In his essay Contents of Communication, Lasswell explained that, in order to understand the meaning of a message (i.e. a movie, a speech, a book, etc.), one should take into account the frequency with which certain symbols appear in the message, the direction in which the symbols try to persuade the audience’s opinion, and the intensity of the symbols used. (VN: this is a key concept for us to understand fully, since this is what takes us out of internal knowledge of who we are into a politically determine "who we should be"..... which of course, would always serve the purposes of the elite. )
Lasswell was famous for his media analysis model based on:
Who (says) What (to) Whom (in) What Channel (with) What Effect
By this model, Lasswell indicates that in order to properly analyze a media product, one must look at who produced the product (the people who ordered its creation), who was it aimed at (the target audience) and what were the desired effects of this product (to inform, to convince, to sell, etc.) on the audience.
Using a Rihanna video as an example, the analysis would be as follows:
WHO PRODUCED: Vivendi Universal; WHAT: pop artist Rihanna; TO WHOM: consumers between the ages of 9 and 25; WHAT CHANNEL: music video; and WHAT EFFECT: selling the artist, her song, her image and her message.
The analyzes of videos and movies on The Vigilant Citizen place a great importance on the “who is behind” the messages communicated to the public. The term “Illuminati” is often used to describe this small elite group covertly ruling the masses. Although the term sounds quite caricatured and conspiratorial, it aptly describes the elite’s affinities with secret societies and occult knowledge.
However, I personally detest using the term “conspiracy theory” to describe what is happening in the mass media. If all the facts concerning the elitist nature of the industry are readily available to the public, can it still be considered a “conspiracy theory”?
There used to be a variety of viewpoints, ideas and opinions in popular culture. The consolidation of media corporations has, however, produced a standardization of the cultural industry. Ever wondered why all recent music sounds the same and all recent movies look the same? The following is part of the answer:
Media Ownership
As depicted in the graph above, the number of corporations owning the majority of U.S. media outlets went from 50 to 5 in less than 20 years. Here are the top corporations evolving around the world and the assets they own.
“A list of the properties controlled by AOL Time Warner takes ten typed pages listing 292 separate companies and subsidiaries. Of these, twenty-two are joint ventures with other major corporations involved in varying degrees with media operations.
These partners include 3Com, eBay, Hewlett-Packard, Citigroup, Ticketmaster, American Express, Homestore, Sony, Viva, Bertelsmann, Polygram, and Amazon.com. Some of the more familiar fully owned properties of Time Warner include Book-of-the-Month Club; Little, Brown publishers; HBO, with its seven channels; CNN; seven specialized and foreign-language channels; Road Runner; Warner Brothers Studios; Weight Watchers; Popular Science; and fifty-two different record labels.” - Ben Bagdikan, The New Media Monopoly
AOL Time Warner owns:
64 magazines, including Time, Life, People, MAD Magazine and DC Comics
Warner Bros, New Line and Fine Line Features in cinema
More than 40 music labels including Warner Bros, Atlantic and Elektra
Many television networks such as WB Networks, HBO, Cinemax, TNT, Cartoon Network and CNN
Madonna, Sean Paul, The White Stripes
Viacom owns:
CBS, MTV, MTV2, UPN, VH1, Showtime, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, TNN, CMT and BET
Paramount Pictures, Nickelodeon Movies, MTV Films
Blockbuster Videos
1800 screens in theaters through Famous Players
“Disney ownership of a hockey team called The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim does not begin to describe the vastness of the kingdom. Hollywood is still its symbolic heart, with eight movie production studios and distributors: Walt Disney Pictures, Touchstone Pictures, Miramax, Buena Vista Home Video, Buena Vista Home Entertainment, Buena Vista International, Hollywood Pictures, and Caravan Pictures.
The Walt Disney Company controls eight book house imprints under Walt Disney Company Book Publishing and ABC Publishing Group; seventeen magazines; the ABC Television Network, with ten owned and operated stations of its own including in the five top markets; thirty radio stations, including all the major markets; eleven cable channels, including Disney, ESPN (jointly), A&E, and the History Channel; thirteen international broadcast channels stretching from Australia to Brazil; seven production and sports units around the world; and seventeen Internet sites, including the ABC group, ESPN.sportszone, NFL.com, NBAZ.com, and NASCAR.com. Its five music groups include the Buena Vista, Lyric Street, and Walt Disney labels, and live theater productions growing out of the movies The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and King David.”

Beyonce, Shakira, Michael Jackson, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera
A limited number of actors in the cultural industry means a limited amount of viewpoints and ideas making their way to the general public. It also means that a single message can easily saturate all forms of media to generate consent (i.e. “there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq”).
The Standardization of Human Thought
The merger of media companies in the last decades generated a small oligarchy of media conglomerates. The TV shows we follow, the music we listen to, the movies we watch and the newspapers we read are all produced by FIVE corporations. The owners of those conglomerates have close ties with the world’s elite and, in many ways, they ARE the elite.
By owning all of the possible outlets having the potential to reach the masses, these conglomerates have the power to create in the minds of the people a single and cohesive world view, engendering a “standardization of human thought”.
Even movements or styles that are considered marginal are, in fact, extensions of mainstream thinking. Mass medias produce their own rebels who definitely look the part but are still part of the establishment and do not question any of it. Artists, creations and ideas that do not fit the mainstream way of thinking are mercilessly rejected and forgotten by the conglomerates, which in turn makes them virtually disappear from society itself. However, ideas that are deemed to be valid and desirable to be accepted by society are skillfully marketed to the masses in order to make them become self-evident norm.
In 1928, Edward Bernays already saw the immense potential of motion pictures to standardize thought:
“The American motion picture is the greatest unconscious carrier of propaganda in the world today. It is a great distributor for ideas and opinions. The motion picture can standardize the ideas and habits of a nation.
Because pictures are made to meet market demands, they reflect, emphasize and even exaggerate broad popular tendencies, rather than stimulate new ideas and opinions. The motion picture avails itself only of ideas and facts which are in vogue. As the newspaper seeks to purvey news, it seeks to purvey entertainment.”
– Edward Bernays, Propaganda
These facts were flagged as dangers to human freedom in the 1930’s by thinkers of the school of Frankfurt such as Theodor Adorno and Herbert Marcuse. They identified three main problems with the cultural industry. The industry can:
reduce human beings to the state of mass by hindering the development of emancipated individuals, who are capable of making rational decisions;
replace the legitimate drive for autonomy and self-awareness by the safe laziness of conformism and passivity; and
validate the idea that men actually seek to escape the absurd and cruel world in which they live by losing themselves in a hypnotic state self-satisfaction. (VN: sounds like a prefect description of the elite, since they exhibit all of those three qualities, how ironic, they have become that which they tried to create in us and succeeded, especially with the sheep)
The notion ofescapismis even more relevant today with advent of online video games, 3D movies and home theaters. The masses, constantly seeking state-of-the-art entertainment, will resort to high-budget products that can only be produced by the biggest media corporations of the world. These products contain carefully calculated messages and symbols which are nothing more and nothing less than entertaining propaganda. The public have been trained to LOVE its propaganda to the extent that it spends its hard-earned money to be exposed to it. Propaganda (used in both political, cultural and commercial sense) is no longer the coercive or authoritative communication form found in dictatorships: it has become the synonym of entertainment and pleasure.
“In regard to propaganda the early advocates of universal literacy and a free press envisaged only two possibilities: the propaganda might be true, or it might be false. They did not foresee what in fact has happened, above all in our Western capitalist democracies — the development of a vast mass communications industry, concerned in the main neither with the true nor the false, but with the unreal, the more or less totally irrelevant. In a word, they failed to take into account man’s almost infinite appetite for distractions.”
– Aldous Huxley, Preface to A Brave New World
A single piece of media often does not have a lasting effect on the human psyche. Mass media, however, by its omnipresent nature, creates a living environment we evolve in on a daily basis. It defines the norm and excludes the undesirable. The same way carriage horses wear blinders so they can only see what is right in front of them, the masses can only see where they are supposed to go.
“It is the emergence of mass media which makes possible the use of propaganda techniques on a societal scale. The orchestration of press, radio and television to create a continuous, lasting and total environment renders the influence of propaganda virtually unnoticed precisely because it creates a constant environment. Mass media provides the essential link between the individual and the demands of the technological society.”
– Jacques Ellul
One of the reasons mass media successfully influences society is due to the extensive amount of research on cognitive sciences and human nature that has been applied to it.
Manipulation Techniques
“Publicity is the deliberate attempt to manage the public’s perception of a subject. The subjects of publicity include people (for example, politicians and performing artists), goods and services, organizations of all kinds, and works of art or entertainment.”
The drive to sell products and ideas to the masses has lead to an unprecedented amount of research on human behavior and on the human psyche. Cognitive sciences, psychology, sociology, semiotics, linguistics and other related fields were and still are extensively researched through well-funded studies.
“No group of sociologists can approximate the ad teams in the gathering and processing of exploitable social data. The ad teams have billions to spend annually on research and testing of reactions, and their products are magnificent accumulations of material about the shared experience and feelings of the entire community.”
- Marshal McLuhan, The Extensions of Man (VN: we did an extensive blog on the fact that the tavistock group of England, hired our universities and health depts to study the mass manipulation of masses of humanity, and the schools were Stanford, MIT, National Institute for Health, etc. And the purpose was to achieve the goal of the protocols, and that was global domination by the khazar Zionists. )
The results of those studies are applied to advertisements, movies, music videos and other media in order to make them as influential as possible. The art of marketing is highly calculated and scientific because it must reach both the individual and the collective consciousness. In high-budget cultural products, a video is never “just a video,” Images, symbols and meanings are strategically placed in order to generate a desired effect.
“It is with knowledge of the human being, his tendencies, his desires, his needs, his psychic mechanisms, his automatisms as well as knowledge of social psychology and analytical psychology that propaganda refines its techniques.”
– Propagandes, Jacques Ellul (free translation)
Today’s propaganda almost never uses rational or logical arguments. It directly taps into a human’s most primal needs and instincts in order to generate an emotional and irrational response. If we always thought rationally, we probably wouldn’t buy 50% of what we own. Babies and children are constantly found in advertisements targeting women for a specific reason: studies have shown that images of children trigger in women an instinctual need to nurture, to care and to protect, ultimately leading to a sympathetic bias towards the advertisement.

Strange old 7up ad using the cuteness of babies
Sex is ubiquitous in mass media, as it draws and keeps the viewer’s attention. It directly connects to our animal need to breed and to reproduce, and, when triggered, this instinct can instantly overshadow any other rational thoughts in our brain.
Subliminal Perception
What if the messages described above were able to reach directly the viewers’ subconscious mind, without the viewers even realizing what is happening? That is the goal of subliminal perception. The phrase subliminal advertising was coined in 1957 by the US market researcher James Vicary, who said he could get moviegoers to “drink Coca-Cola” and “eat popcorn” by flashing those messages onscreen for such a short time that viewers were unaware.
“Subliminal perception is a deliberate process created by communications technicians, by which you receive and respond to information and instructions without being consciously aware of the instructions”
– Steve Jacobson, Mind Control in the United States
This technique is often used in marketing and we all know that sex sells.
Although some sources claim that subliminal advertising is ineffective or even an urban myth, the documented usage of this technique in mass media proves that creators believe in its powers. Recent studies have also proven its effectiveness, especially when the message is negative.
” A team from University College London, funded by the Wellcome Trust, found that it [subliminal perception] was particularly good at instilling negative thoughts. There has been much speculation about whether people can process emotional information unconsciously, for example pictures, faces and words,” said Professor Nilli Lavie, who led the research. We have shown that people can perceive the emotional value of subliminal messages and have demonstrated conclusively that people are much more attuned to negative words.” - Source
A famous example of subliminal messaging in political communications is in George Bush’s advertisement against Al Gore in 2000.
Right after the name of Gore is mentioned, the ending of the word “bureaucrats” – “rats” – flashes on the screen for a split second.
The discovery of this trickery caused quite a stir and, even if there are no laws against subliminal messaging in the U.S., the advertisement was taken off the air.
As seen in many articles on The Vigilant Citizen, subliminal and semi-subliminal messages are often used in movies and music videos to communicate messages and ideas to the viewers.
Desensitization
In the past, when changes were imposed on populations, they would take to the streets, protest and even riot. The main reason for this clash was due to the fact that the change was clearly announced by the rulers and understood by the population. It was sudden and its effects could clearly be analyzed and evaluated. Today, when the elite needs a part of its agenda to be accepted by the public, it is done through desensitization.
The agenda, which might go against the public best interests, is slowly, gradually and repetitively introduced to the world through movies (by involving it within the plot), music videos (who make it cool and sexy) or the news (who present it as a solution to today’s problems). After several years of exposing the masses to a particular agenda, the elite openly presents the concept the world and, due to mental programming, it is greeted with general indifference and is passively accepted. This technique originates from psychotherapy.
“The techniques of psychotherapy, widely practiced and accepted as a means of curing psychological disorders, are also methods of controlling people. They can be used systematically to influence attitudes and behavior. Systematic desensitization is a method used to dissolve anxiety so the the patient (public) is no longer troubled by a specific fear, a fear of violence for example. […] People adapt to frightening situations if they are exposed to them enough”.
– Steven Jacobson, Mind Control in the United States
Predictive programming is often found in the science fiction genre. It presents a specific image of the future – the one that is desired by the elite – and ultimately becomes in the minds of men an inevitability. A decade ago, the public was being desensitized to war against the Arab world.
Today, the population is gradually being exposed to the existence of mind control, of transhumanism and of an Illuminati elite. Emerging from the shadows, those concepts are now everywhere in popular culture. This is what Alice Bailey describes as the “externalization of the hierarchy”: the hidden rulers slowly revealing themselves.
Occult Symbolism in Pop Culture
Metropolis – a movie by the elite, for the elite?
Contrarily to the information presented above, documentation on occult symbolism is rather hard to find. This should not come as a surprise as the term “occult”, literally means “hidden”. It also means “reserved to those in the know” as it is only communicated to those who are deemed worthy of the knowledge. It is not taught in schools nor is it discussed in the media. It is thus considered marginal or even ridiculous by the general population.
Occult knowledge is NOT, however, considered ridiculous in occult circles. It is considered timeless and sacred. There is a long tradition of hermetic and occult knowledge being taught through secret societies originating from ancient Egyptians, to Eastern Mystics, to the Knights Templar to modern day Freemasons.
Even if the nature and the depth of this knowledge was most probably modified and altered throughout the centuries, mystery schools kept their main features, which are highly symbolic, ritualistic and metaphysical. Those characteristics, which were an intricate part of ancient civilizations, have totally been evacuated from modern society to be replaced by pragmatic materialism. For this reason, there lies an important gap of understanding between the pragmatic average person and the ritualistic establishment.
“If this inner doctrine were always concealed from the masses, for whom a simpler code had been devised, is it not highly probable that the exponents of every aspect of modern civilization – philosophic, ethical, religious, and scientific-are ignorant of the true meaning of the very theories and tenets on which their beliefs are founded?
Do the arts and sciences that the race has inherited from older nations conceal beneath their fair exterior a mystery so great that only the most illumined intellect can grasp its import? Such is undoubtedly the case.”
– Manly P. Hall, Secret Teachings of All Ages
The “simpler code” devised for the masses used to be organized religions. It is now becoming the Temple of the Mass Media and it preaches on a daily basis extreme materialism, spiritual vacuosity and a self-centered, individualistic existence. This is exactly the opposite of the attributes required to become a truly free individual, as taught by all great philosophical schools of thought. Is a dumbed-down population easier to deceive and to manipulate?
“These blind slaves are told they are “free” and “highly educated” even as they march behind signs that would cause any medieval peasant to run screaming away from them in panic-stricken terror. The symbols that modern man embraces with the naive trust of an infant would be tantamount to billboards reading, ‘This way to your death and enslavement,’ to the understanding of the traditional peasant of antiquity”
– Michael A. Hoffman II, Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare
In Conclusion
This article examined the major thinkers in the field of mass media, the media power structure and the techniques used to manipulate the masses. I believe this information is vital to the understanding of the “why” in the topics discussed on The Vigilant Citizen. The “mass population” versus “ruling class” dichotomy described in many articles is not a “conspiracy theory” (again, I hate that term), but a reality that has been clearly stated in the works of some of the 20th century’s most influential men.
Lippmann, Bernays and Lasswell have all declared that the public are not fit to decide their own fate, which is the inherent goal of democracy. Instead, they called for a cryptocracy, a hidden government, a ruling class in charge of the “bewildered herd.” As their ideas continue to be applied to society, it is increasingly apparent that an ignorant population is not an obstacle that the rulers must deal with: It is something that is DESIRABLE and, indeed, necessary, to insure total leadership.
An ignorant population does not know its rights, does not seek a greater understanding of issues and does not question authorities. It simply follows trends. Popular culture caters to and nurtures ignorance by continually serving up brain-numbing entertainment and spotlighting degenerate celebrities to be idolized. Many people ask me: “Is there a way to stop this?” Yes, there is. STOP BUYING THEIR CRAP AND READ A BOOK.
“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, it expects what never was and never will be.”
– Thomas Jefferson
I did not know it was this bad:
If you thought the news was rigged, you were RIGHT!
ABC News executive producer Ian Cameron is married to Susan Rice, National Security Adviser.
CBS President David Rhodes is the brother of Ben Rhodes, Obamas Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications. ABC News correspondent Claire Shipman is married to recent Whitehouse Press Secretary Jay Carney ABC News and Univision reporter Matthew Jaffe is married to Katie Hogan, Obama's Deputy Press Secretary ABC President Ben Sherwood is the brother of Obama's Special Adviser
Elizabeth Sherwood CNN President Virginia Moseley is married to former Hillary Clinton's Deputy Secretary Tom Nides.
And now you know why it is no surprise the media is in Obama's Zionist handlers pocket.
Ya think there might be a little bias in the news ...

Vatic Note: Now this was very, very interesting, and a total surprise to me that this has so far gotten as far along as it has. These DNA studies are proving that some of the history we had always assumed was correct, turn out to be false and the truth a surprise. However, I have read about these native Americans being from the middle east about 8 or 9 years ago and was told to us back as early as 1832. Check out the Book of Mormon. Its all in there way back when.
Because this is new to me, I will have to reread it several times to get the full truth of what they are saying, but so far, it sounds right. Give it a read and see what you think. Just another rabbit hole. If I find it is not real, then I will update and notify you of it, until then, this author has been credible with other writings I have posted in the past, so I will stay with this until I find out otherwise. Enjoy the read. I did. What a fascinating and interesting world we live in.
There are some interesting theories on just where native Americans
came from. Most native Americans fall into the A to D group. However
another has been discovered call X haplogroup. I have seen some theories
they were the long lost tribe of Israel and this is where various
indian tribes acquired this marker. That it is a theory I do not ascribe
to.
There was a lot going on before Israel arrived on the scene and the
story of humans on planet earth does not revolve around them. Most will
not believe this because they are not convinced that some can access
the Akashic record an imprint written in the ethers of everything that
has ever happened on planet earth. It is that simple.
This is how Edgar Cayce describes this and when in doubt I always
defer to Cayce. He has thousands of readings from the trance state that have
proven very precise over the decades. Cayce indicates that during the
fall of Atlantis, many escaped to the Northeast and South east of the
United States. This closely parallels exactly where the X gene is found
among native American tribes.
The X lineage was only found in a handful of tribes scattered across
the country, the Yakima and Sioux in the northwest and the Navajo in the
southwest, in about 5% of their populations. However, the greatest
numbers occurred in the Ojibway, Oneota and Nuu-Chah-Nulth tribes where
almost 25% of the tribal members fell into the X lineage. Most of tribes contained no X members.
When Cayce gave this reading DNA had
not yet been discovered and there was no such thing as mtDNA analysis.
He had however mentioned “evidences” in two specific areas, the
Pyrenees, a mountain range sandwiched in between France and Spain and
they contain a high number of X haplogroup. It is pretty simple what
Cayce is getting at, some of the X group went west and became the
Iroquois and some went east and became the Basque. Then we have the
Berbers, a white race existing in North Africa the scientists don’t want
to talk much about and they have high incidence of X haplogroup.
Those who originated in Samaria have a high percentage of RH negative
blood, as do some American Indian groups. We have to wonder about the
American Indian trait of becoming blood brothers. Were they mixing
antigens or what was going on? Were some of the native American
hostilities based on blood type? The totem poles were carefully designed
records of genealogy. We know that native Americans referred to some as
“evil spirits”? The Greeks considered the blood of the Gods to be
poisonous to mortals. The Chinese and Africans have almost no RH
negative blood types.
Sumerian tablets, Vedas, the Atrahasis explicitly say the Nefilim
were different from the subjects they created on earth. They were
surprised when the initial humans had foreskins as they did not. We
might assume this lead to the practice of circumcision as the earthlings
wished to be as the Gods.
“Two facts set the Basque peoples apart from the other Europeans who
have dominated the continent the past 3,000 years: (1) The Basque
language is distinctly different; and (2) The Basques have the highest
recorded level of Rh-negative blood (roughly twice that of most
Europeans), as well as substantially lower levels of Type B blood and a
higher incidence of Type O blood.” http://www.science-frontiers.com/sf085/sf085a02.htm?q=frontiers/sf085/sf085a02.htm
Southern France and Northern Spain is where you can find most of the
RH-negative factor in the Basque people. Another group is the
Eastern/Oriental Jews. In general, about 40 – 45% of Europeans have the
RH-negative group. Only about 3% of African descendents and about 1% of
Asian or Native Americans have the RH-negative group although in some
groups it appears to be relatively high.
Chaco Canyon is a very advanced architectural creation with elaborate
rooms carved out of rocks on the cliffs. It is not something native
Americans built in the past or since that time. It is more along the
lines of what one would expect from citizens of “Atlantis.” And yes
Atlantis was Vedic culture which was worldwide at one time and there are
petroglyphs and spirals all over the world which are the same as the
ones found in Chaco Canyon.
In the Black Heart writings it is mentioned by the Dene people they
were cannibals as the Christy Turner connection insists and they were
related to the Aztecs. He says his studies indicate that cannibalism
occurred among the Anasazi in a similar fashion. My question is were the
Anasazi cannibals or were they themselves eaten?
Honestly some insist
the Aztecs were taken over by a cannibal type tribe near the fall of
their empire and many stories abound of cannibal tribes existing in the
Americas. As far as the Aztecs, we have the word of the Jesuits
themselves as to what was going on there and if you are going to wipe
somebody out and steal their gold it is always best to denigrate them
beforehand.
Diego Duran, was convinced that Spain had discovered the lost tribes of Israel in the Aztec.
“What most forces me to believe that these Indians are of Hebrew
descent is their strange insistence in clinging to their idolatries and
superstitions, for they pay them much heed, just as their ancestors
did.” (Are we struggling here to make this part of the Judeo/Christian
narrative?)
“Chaco Canyon’s enigmatic inhabitants are now ingrained as the
“Anasazi” in the racial memory of the Indians now occupying that land.
Anasazi is the name given by the local Dene speaking tribes to the
builders of the ruins. It means ancient enemies or those who are not us
depending on the pronunciation.”
So it is very difficult to project what actually happened in the
distant past. I do see a need by many to connect everything that
happened to the ancient Hebrew narrative which I do not accept. I think
they had very little to do with it.
Incidentally I might add the following:
Yes Ramses III had Red hair and his haplogroup is I2b. All I can say is Ramses, may the wind be always at your back :)
I suppose this springs from the need to prove the out of Africa
theory. He was not E1b1b which would suggest he was khazar like Hitler. Adolf Hitler, Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945, is believed to belong to Y-DNA Haplogroup E1b1b1
Many Rh negative women are coming forward with their experiences of
having been given the Anti D vaccination when they were pregnant. Many
are saying that their children have autism and all kinds of other health
problems, that they feel were caused by having this injection in the
first place. In some cases it wasn’t even necessary, as both the Mother
and Father were Rh negative. http://rhnegativebloodsecrets.blogspot.com/2012/12/enforced-immunization-of-all-rh.html
Nicholas II of Russia, was assigned to mtDNA haplogroup T
The haplotype of Nicholas II of Russia has been predicted to belong to R1b.[36][37]
It matched a member of another line of Nicholas I’s descendants. So,
all the Emperors from Nicholas I to Nicholas II shared this Y-DNA. It
can also be said that this result is German-specific, so Paul I was most
likely the real son of his official father Peter III, and not the son
of a lover, as was speculated.
It also allowed to validate the remains of Alexei, son of Nicholas II.
