One of those warning signs is the rise of Big Brother. Infowars.com 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We acknowledge the tireless efforts of Alex Jones of PrisonPlanet.com PrisonPlanet.tv and InfoWars.com – the leading researcher and filmmaker exposing the machinations of Big Brother not only in America, but the entire planet. Jones is correct that Big Brother is turning Earth into a prison planet and this book documents that fact. We also acknowledge the excellent work of other researchers, past and present, who have committed their lives to exposing the machinations of Big Brother – Eric Blair, Gary Allen, James Bamford, David Bay, John Beaty, Michael Benson, Lenn Bracken, Ray Bradbury, William Guy Carr, Count Cherep-Spiridovich, John Coleman, Jerome Corsi, Dennis Cuddy, Bill Deagle, David Dees, Stan Deyo, Mark Dice, James Drummey, Daniel Estulin, Robert Eringer, Myron Fagan, Philip Gardiner, John Gatto, David Ray Griffin, Des Griffin, G. Edward Griffin, John Hankey, George Hansen, Harry Helms, Robert Hieronimus, Anthony J. Hilder, Michael A. Hoffman, Aldous Huxley, David Icke, Gary Kah, Jim Keith, George Knupffer, E.C. Knuth, Jim Marrs, Texe Marrs, Jack McLamb, Stan Monteith, Eustace Mullins, Chris Pinto, Michael Collins Piper, Robert L. Preston, James Pool, L. Fletcher Prouty, Jeff Rense, John Robison, John Stockwell, Anthony Sutton, Webster Tarpley, Jim Tucker, Jesse Ventura and Nesta Webster. These are just a handful of conspiracy researchers and men who saw the danger that the “elite” pose to mankind. It would take a whole chapter to list all of them. The men noted above have and are working tirelessly to expose the machinations of Big Brother. We must keep in mind that Big Brother and all of his minions lie, lie, lie and deceive 24-7, 365.25 days a year. Memorize this apriori truth made famous by Sir Walter Scott: Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practise to deceive! (Marmion, Canto vi. Stanza 17) Big Brother and his minions lie, lie, lie and deceive, deceive deceive! 4 There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof. Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, “Thus saith the Lord God,” when the Lord hath not spoken. (Ezekiel 22:25-28, c. 570 B.C., emphasis added) Conspiracies are as old as man himself. We are watching a massive conspiracy to create a New World Order in which the self-proclaimed “elite” are attempting to enslave all mankind. The “elite” are a fraud as YAHWEH has declared, “Men of low degree are only vanity, and men of rank are a lie” (Psalm 62.9). This book and the remaining three volumes will eventually be banned by Big Brother. Remember this important truth concerning the banning of books: “When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, ‘This you may not read, this you may not see, this you are forbidden to know,’ the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives.” (Robert Heinlein) www.imdb.com/title/tt0048918 5 NOTICE There are numerous free advertisements in this book.

Deesillustration.com 6 INVITATION We urge and encourage everyone to read this book. You do not need to read it from cover to cover. Read the chapters and appendices that interest you and once you have read them you will be motivated to read the rest of the book. This series of books is an encyclopedia of Big Brother. It clearly explains the goal of Big Brother to create his One World dictatorship – a world government, world economic system and a world church – and the technologies he is using to establish his tyranny. It also describes what you, the reader, can do to resist this Orwellian nightmare that is entangling us as a spider’s web. It also explains what you can do to escape it. Be sure to read the Afterword and the appendices, especially Appendix A. This book gives you a head’s up as to what to expect in the coming years and what to do before, when and after Big Brother establishes his One World Tyranny. Every technology depicted in this book is for real. You can verify each and every one of them. What we can verify today is what Big Brother had already developed 20 or more years ago in his secret labs. Keep in mind the truth that Dr. Stan Monteith has said thousands of times to begin his radio programs: Bringng you the news behind the news, the story behind the story, hoping to convince you that reality usually is scoffed at and illusion usually is king. But in the battle for survival of Western civilization it’s going to be reality and not illusion or delusion that will determine what the future will bring. We offer a large dose of reality to counter the endless drugging of the American people with illusion and delusion by the presstitutes at ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, and through Big Brother’s radio broadcasts, his newspapers and his magazines. 7 Keep in mind as you read this book the truth that Rod Serling spoke at the conclusion to the Twilight Zone episode entitled, “The Librarian”: Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of man that state is obsolete.

  • Final Project Paper
    Schneider 1 Gordon College Seek the Truth: How NASCAR and the Media Mishandled the Talladega Noose Investigation Benjamin Schneider Dr. Gardner COM 491 2 December 2020 Schneider 2 Sonja K. Foss’ book Rhetorical Criticism outlines several different methods of application for media criticism. While all of these methods have their own merits to them, Foss acknowledges that the best way to engage in rhetorical criticism, particularly for “seasoned rhetorical critics” (411), is through no single formal method of criticism. This method is called “generative criticism,” where the writer builds a more general explanation of the artifact rather than following a previously developed method of criticism. This project will employ generative criticism to analyze the events that led up to the noose investigation in NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace’s garage stall at Talladega Superspeedway in June 2020, how both mainstream and alternative media covered the story, how almost every single outlet and media member got some part of the story wrong (whether it be entirely through their own negligence or with the help of a hastily released statement by NASCAR the night of the original report), and how the failure to get the story right proved detrimental to NASCAR, the credibility of the media, and, through no fault of his own, the public reputation Wallace himself. On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police while being arrested for allegedly using a counterfeit bill. Video showed officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck for several minutes, while Floyd pleaded “I can’t breathe” before succumbing to the brutality (Brooks).

    A PARTICIPATORY PROPAGANDA MODEL 1 Participatory Propaganda: The Engagement of Audiences in the Spread of Persuasive Communications Alicia Wanless Michael Berk Director of Strategic Communications, Visiting Research Fellow, SecDev Foundation Centre for Cyber Security and International [email protected] Relations Studies, University of Florence [email protected] Paper presented at the "Social Media & Social Order, Culture Conflict 2.0" conference organized by Cultural Conflict 2.0 and sponsored by the Research Council of Norway on 1 December 2017, Oslo. To be published as part of the conference proceedings in 2018. A PARTICIPATORY PROPAGANDA MODEL 2 Abstract Existing research on aspects of propaganda in a digital age tend to focus on isolated techniques or phenomena, such as fake news, trolls, memes, or botnets. Providing invaluable insight on the evolving human-technology interaction in creating new formats of persuasive messaging, these studies lend to an enriched understanding of modern propaganda methods. At the same time, the true effects and magnitude of successful influencing of large audiences in the digital age can only be understood if target audiences are perceived not only as ‘objects’ of influence, but as ‘subjects’ of persuasive communications as well. Drawing from vast available research, as well as original social network and content analyses conducted during the 2016 U.S. presidential elections, this paper presents a new, qualitatively enhanced, model of modern propaganda – “participatory propaganda” - and discusses its effects on modern democratic societies. Keywords: propaganda, Facebook, social network analysis, content analysis, politics A PARTICIPATORY PROPAGANDA MODEL 3 Participatory Propaganda: The Engagement of Audiences in the Spread of Persuasive Communications Rapidly evolving information communications technologies (ICTs) have drastically altered the ways individuals engage in the public information domain, including news ways of becoming subjected to external influencing.

The United States has a long history of journalists exposing self-interested behaviors of political or corporate elites with investigative journalism. With online media, journalistic practices encompass fact-checking against a variety of sources, and countering the claims of other journalists from competing outlets. This article aims at delimiting the rhetorical properties of an emerging genre of YouTube counter-journalism. The study reports on a rhetorical and eristic analysis of the main patterns of countering in a sample of videos posted on YouTube on the subject of the US presidential campaign in spring 2020. The analysis reveals some ways in which YouTube journalists break down the dominant media narratives and present counterclaims and critiques, which is usually accompanied by fact-checking, showcasing evidence and providing alternative explanations or counterarguments. However, counter-journalism is not free from eristic devices that may misrepresent political issues for the subscribers.

  • Rutledge 1 Sarah Rutledge Bias, Politics, and Identity in the News
    Rutledge 1 Sarah Rutledge Bias, Politics, and Identity in the News and YouTube Introduction Media bias has been a thoroughly studied issue, especially in connection with politics. In fact, “nowadays we cannot talk about politics without invoking media, and we cannot understand contemporary media without appreciating the role they play in the political system” (Perloff 7). In other words, we cannot look at media without politics being involved somehow. A study done by Elejalde et al. looks at Chilean newspapers for media bias. They show that “There is a growing body of evidence of bias in the media caused by underlying political and socio- economic viewpoints…Results show that the media have a measurable bias, and illustrated this by showing the favoritism of Chilean media for the ruling political parties in the country” (Elejalde et al. 1). Mark Dice, though extremely conservatively biased, makes a few interesting points in his book, The True Story of Fake News. He states, “Famed media analyst Neil Postman explains in his historic work Amusing Ourselves To Death that a drastic shift took place when Americans began getting their news from television instead of from newspapers, magazines and books…the reason for this is that the very nature of the television business is to get people to watch by any means necessary” (Dice 30). Dice, in this point, emphasizes the importance of shifting mediums. A different study, done by Bessi et al., establishes bias in social media, but more importantly, focuses on echo chambers. They conclude “that the early interaction of users with contents is an accurate predictor for the preferential attachment to a community and thus for the emergence of echo chambers.
