Limiting the harm overall will require enormous efforts in both mitigation and adaptation, all around the world.” –JOHN P.

  • A Single Organization Controls Almost Everything You See, Hear, and Read in the Media and They've Been Handpicking Your Leaders for Decades
    by Matt Agorist January 29, 2018 from TheFreeThoughtProject Website A single organization controls almost everything you see, hear, and read in the media and they've been handpicking your leaders for decades. It is no secret that over the last 4 decades, mainstream media has been consolidated from dozens of competing companies to only six. Hundreds of channels, websites, news outlets, newspapers, and magazines, making up ninety percent of all media is controlled by very few people, giving Americans the illusion of choice. While six companies controlling most everything the Western world consumes in regard to media may sound like a sinister arrangement, the Swiss Propaganda Research center (SPR) has just released information that is even worse. The research group was able to tie all these media companies to a single organization: the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). For those who may be unaware, the CFR is a primary member of the circle of Washington think-tanks promoting endless war. As former Army Major Todd Pierce describes, this group acts as "primary provocateurs" using, "'psychological suggestiveness' to create a false narrative of danger from some foreign entity with the objective being to create paranoia within the U.S. population that it is under imminent threat of attack or takeover." A senior member of the CFR and outspoken neocon warmonger, Robert Kagan has even publicly proclaimed that the U.S. should create an empire. The narrative created by CFR and its cohorts is picked up by their secondary communicators, also known the mainstream media, who push it on the populace with no analysis or questioning.

  • 2019 RAND Annual Report
    ANNUAL REPORT 2019 THE RAND CORPORATION IS A RESEARCH ORGANIZATION THAT DEVELOPS SOLUTIONS TO PUBLIC POLICY CHALLENGES TO HELP MAKE COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD SAFER AND MORE SECURE, HEALTHIER AND MORE PROSPEROUS. THE CAMPAIGN FOR RAND MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR AND THE PRESIDENT RAND’s mission—to help improve policy and decisionmaking through research and analysis—guides the topics we choose to tackle, our methodological approaches, and our outreach. This year, it also helped inspire RAND to launch its most ambitious fundraising campaign to date. Our campaign is focused on five priorities. Countering truth decay. “Truth decay” is the term we use to describe the diminishing role of facts and analysis in public life. As a nonpartisan institution that seeks to advance the public good through research and analysis, RAND is the only research institution that has already invested in an initiative to counter this grave, existential threat. Rethinking and retooling institutions. The 20th century saw the establishment of some of the world’s most strategic and beneficent organizations. RAND will help to design a revitalized set of institutions to promote security, stability, and prosperity for the century to come—institutions essential to the disciplined, long-term, consensus-driven, and coalition-building efforts on which clear, well-supported policy depends. Strengthening and safeguarding communities. In confronting global problems such as social and economic inequity, unsustainable cities, migration and displacement, and the health of an aging population, RAND understands the need to solve these problems where people are already experiencing them firsthand—in local communities. By working at the front lines of need, RAND can pilot and refine practical tools and approaches that others can deploy right away.
