Remember Pravda and Tass? They had zero creditability with everyone. Our media subsumed under monopoly ownership actually believes it can tell you what to think.
And along came AI. AI, to be successful has to work with true facts and probability weigh anything else. There is no way around this. Any thing else is sure to choke up.
What happens when all alternative sources prove up truth and AI uses that truth. What happens when you disappear an opponent, AI determines you murdered him and immediately orders your arrest and execution?

The Final Days of the Lie Machine

One of the worst features of Democracy is the self-serving lobby groups. The Israeli lobby groups, AIPAC and ADL are having a rough time because of the Zionist genocide of the Palestinians. People are starting to wonder how Israel is a victim when Israel is slaughtering women and children not only in Gaza but also in south Lebanon.
Now that in Ukraine the Biden-Harris regime have given Americans another lost war, which casts more doubt on American omnipotence, the military/security complex lobbies are experiencing public disbelief in their narratives.
The Atlantic Council is a lobby group for the military-security complex and Washington’s hegemony over Europe. Attempting to control explanations important to war profits, the group created a lie machine, DFR Lab. On October 30, one of the lie machine’s employees, Meredith Furbish, branched out into other areas and defined those of us who have documented the legalization of election theft in the swing states as “Russia-linked media.” Furbish doesn’t say why only Russians and not Americans are concerned with the mechanisms used to steal American elections.
Citing a narrative controller called Alliance for Securing Democracy, Furbish describes me as “an RT regular and noted conspiracy theorist.” I think it has been years since I was interviewed by RT, and being interviewed doesn’t make one a “regular.” Furbish is so incompetent that she doesn’t know that the Russian journalist Ekaterina Blinova writes for Sputnik, not RT. The notion Furbish is trying to perpetuate is that those who identify voting irregularities are Russian agents spreading disinformation. Russia has to be behind everything so that we can stay at war with Russia. As for being a conspiracy theorist, the self-serving interest groups declare all truth-tellers to be conspiracy theorists. Every explanation, no matter how truthful, that does not uphold the official narratives is a conspiracy theory. This tells us that it is the conspiracy theories that are correct, not the official narratives.
To suppress truth has been the function of the print and TV media and NPR for many years. The editors and journalists in the presstitute media have no independence. Moreover, most were indoctrinated in journalism schools that their task is to control narratives for the ruling elite. Lobby groups such as the Atlantic Council create their own lie machines to guard their agendas from exposure.
But it hasn’t worked. The lie machine has failed. We have that on the authority of no less than two major lie machine operators. The editor-in-chief of the Wall Street Journal, once a reputable newspaper but no longer, recently said that the media had lost readership because the newspapers ceased reporting and became protectors of official narratives and lost the trust of the public. The words she used were the media “lacks transparency.”
Jeff Bezos, owner of the Washington Post, never a reputable newspaper, wrote on October 28 a Washington Post editorial in which he said that the reputation of the American print and TV media has fallen below that of Congress. “Our profession is now the least trusted of all.” Reality, Bezos said, won over the lie machine: “Reality is an undefeated champion.”
To regain credibility, Bezos says, the media will have to return to accuracy and cease to sacrifice truth to the promotion of ideological agendas. “The Washington Post and the New York Times win prizes, but increasingly we talk only to a certain elite. More and more, we talk to ourselves.”
Who does Meredith Furbish talk to? Her discredited lie machine bosses. No one reads her. No one cares what she says.
The election tomorrow will tell us if enough Americans have escaped their indoctrinated existence to save our country.
