Once I learned that Obama had nullified the 1948 Smith-Mundt Act that forbade propagandizing the American public, (slipped into the 2013 NDAA) I have assumed all msm to be propaganda. Why else legalize it? Since we now live in an upside down nation it is safe to assume that for anything we hear or read in msm the precise opposite is true. and was drafted by the CIA, our current rulers.

The official cover story was that Voice of America radio aimed at Cuba was picked up by Americans in Florida & change needed to avoid lawbreaking by Uncle Sam!

I don't know why they changed that rule, but the idea they consider themselves constrained by laws seems like a fairy tale at this point.

I wish I'd given you the $10 dollars I gave to wikipedo 10 years ago.

I stopped using it several years ago. At the time, I made a correction on the page of an Italian singer I liked a lot. There was a mistake in the LP title. Several days later I check, and my repair had been changed again to the mistaken title. When you look up Dr Moerman, you will see they call him a quack. That doctor has healed over 60 given-up cancer patients, not treated, but healed, several living 20 and more years after they went to him in desparation. I have not even looked at Dr Budwig. She was nominated 5 or more times for the nobel prize for her cancer treatment in the 1930s but her boss got the prize probably partly or completely for her work. Her remedies are little known even though they can heal 75 or more % of cancer patients without cutting, burning and poisoning. Her method is used in 2 clinics in the US but cannot be used without said cutting burning poisoning.... but is allowed in Mexico.

Yes, Wiki has the famous phrase "pseudo-science" that they use for character assassination on natural scientists.

I recall when I was in the University, our teaches would tell us to stay away from Wikipedia because it wasn't a reputable source and that "anyone" can edit it. Ten years later, Wiki is now the primary source of "encyclopedia" information. Oh how we've come lol.

PS: Anyone interested on the CIA and other alphabet agencies, here's an article:

PSPS, Mark, Monica Harris wrote a great piece in where she called out Bernay's propaganda book. I saw you wrote the introduction and I was like, "Wait, is that MY Mark Crispin Miller?" Nice stuff! That book has always been on my list so I'll be sure to check it out. Here's the link to that article btw

Thanks for this. A lot of people need to know this.

Hate to say it, but whenever someone cites wikipedia to me about whatever, I do not think kind thoughts about their discernment.

If there's no other source, I mean really, truly, God help you, no other source of information, I think it's OK to cite wikipedia, I've done it myself, but always, always with the note of on what date (and better yet also time) the wikipedia page was retrieved. For example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickey_Mouse

Dr. Miller, I'm sure you have noticed (how could one NOT) in all the email communications between the Biden Administration lackeys and FB, the government lackeys use the words "our partners", when referring to the social media companies? I don't think most people appreciate how chilling that term is when used by the government. It's not an IMPLICATION of fascism, it is the ESSENCE of fascism. And government employees toss it around like it's normal because the fascist state IS now part of America.

One of the many things that makes me yell at the TV Ann, is when a pundit disdainfully says about the government "they think the American people are stupid". To which I usually blurt out "and they're right".

The typical American will see the use of "our partners" and think "aww, isn't that sweet, look how nicely they work together" instead of realizing what that actually means. The very definition of fascism, as you rightly point out.

What's as chilling as the use of "partners" is the inability of too many recognize what's happening.

What worries me most, are the people who are taken in by all the deception. I have tried to educate some friends and they will not even check the evidence. Heads in sand. Why??

"Why?"

Sign posted at an auto parts counter explains it thus:

1% of people make it happen

49% of people watch it happen

50% of people: "What happened?"

I wonder if it’s related to the fact that only about 30 percent of the population has an internal monologue (and thus their heads are not in the sand).

Can’t find the study, from UNLV, but this is the gist of it: https://www.buzzworthy.com/not-everyone-has-an-internal-monologue/

Philip Roth, years ago, was unable to correct false Wiki information about his novels. He was deemed an unreliable source for information on his novels. I tried years ago to revise a false Wiki source on a subject I had excellent authority on--more than a decade ago, and was denied access as well. I was trying to correct the record on a Lillian Hellman statement with respect to Dashiell Hammett being offered five grand to assassinate Frank Little--a completely bogus statement, I believe, that has been quoted and misquoted by all her biographers. She literally doesn't know what she's talking about and confuses events from the Everett Massacre with the assassination of Frank Little in Butte, Montana.) So, pretty much haven't trusted Wiki since those two events. It clearly was not what it presented itself to be

I supported Wikipedia financially back in the early days because I thought it important that poor kids should have access to a decent encyclopedia but sadly it has degenerated into yet another weapon to attack the truth with. The co-founder who left years ago has outed it in a few videos as nothing but a propoganda mouthpiece for any "controversial" subject and sadly even simple things like having two sexes are now "controversial" subjects so the rot is extending down to levels no-one except George Orwell could have possibly imagined. Jimmy Wales I think is the other co-founder who is still working there and corrupting minds and he is quite frankly a disgrace to humanity. I view him much as I do that other degenerate Jack Dorsey who sat back and allowed child abuse groups to proliferate all over Twitter for years despite people constantly complaining about it and said after Musk stamped it out within days of taking over that Twitter's support of such evil for years had had nothing to do with him. Yeah right.

I’ve known Wikipedia was suspicious since at least the beginnings of Coronamania™️. Just look up anyone providing “alternative” ideas about it. However, I naively thought it was merely due to some overzealous editors, busybodies who wanted to inflict masking, lockdowns and shots on us all. I had no thoughts that it was the CIA or any other governmental agency. I used to use Wikipedia for quick historical info or the like. Time to go back to looking things up the old-fashioned way.! Thankful that I never fell for their periodic pleas for financial support. My taxes are already supporting the CIA.

I happened to read your Wickipedia entry a few days ago while trying to look up the titles of books you've authored (I'm working to develop a curriculum on critical thinking for teens in our freedom group and wondered if we might draw upon your work). The entry under your name struck me as pretty intense propaganda -- similar to what is written about RFK, Jr. and countless others -- to the point of being almost humorous if it wasn't simultaneously such an assault on freedom of speech and academic integrity. I wonder about how/whether to bother fighting this CIA psyop website through an army of accurate editors correcting all the lies on a daily basis or if that approach is pointless and a waste of time... The better goal of course would be to educate people not to trust or use it as a source of information, but alas, schools (including adult ed taught at libraries) point student to it as an accurate source. Once in a late night musing I looked up the bio of an Olympic athlete who "died suddenly" to read about her background and pay homage to her young life. When I read the short sentence about her death I decided to edit her bio to accurately reflect that the mRNA killed her. Just as I was about to finish and submit my edit the clock hit 12 midnight and our timer turned off the wireless router for the night as is our practice. I took this as a sign that fighting the powers that shouldn't be is an effort that goes late into the night and must resume early in the morning.

I agree. It's a time-sponge. Better to warn people away from it.

My gut tells me the harder “they” try to “silence” or “discredit” someone…well…that’s the person I’m most interested in learning about! And not surprisingly…TA-DA! …as it happens…those are the people who over time have been proved to be the actual “truth tellers”. Stay the course Professor and thank you for the Agee book recommendations..I just ordered both! 👍

This would explain why Trump and RFK are both prevailing in the polls, despite—or because of—all the shit dumped on them by the government-and-media.

A slight disagreement with this point, they are leading the polls because they speak the truth, not because of the attacks.

Time was when so much hostile "coverage" would have kept most people from paying attention to those targeted. This tells us that, if anything, the hostile coverage just gets people interested in seeing for themselves what those targeted are saying.

I remember when they ended Howard Dean's campaign by just repeating his "yeaah!" over and over for 48 hours straight. Then he was done. Now we have Max Blumenthal possibly bending a Kennedy to his will haha

Hmmm. It does explains why people like Dr Shiva Ayyadurai (2024 presidential candidate, independent) are getting ZERO mainstream attention. "They" dont even want people hearing any logic that would break the masses out of this left-right stupor. Trump + RFK has turned out to be some of the most successful controlled theatre yet.

Wikipedia used to be openly mocked by the left, including (especially) university professors. Those of us who taught at the university level would tell students, till we're blue in the face, not to trust it. But the left has done yet another 180, now it's their standard go-to for information.
