Censorship & Propaganda
To control the people, one must control what the people know, see, think, feel. Thus, education, communications and health (AO News – COVID-19) are targets for control.
Censorship ultimately seeks to deny informed consent to the public. Censorship prevents access to all possible ways of looking at a situation and allows only an official version.
Determining harm is subjective. Stopping all challenges (i.e. Doctors) and exposure of authority.
The tools of censorship, propaganda, surveillance, and control are clinched by technology. (AO News – Surveillance Technology) (AO News – Graphene)
Control Strategies
· Peer pressure (article, article, AO Transgenderism)
· Book burning
· Censorship
· Control television and newspapers (“mainstream media”)
· Control of social media (twitter, facebook, youtube, Wikipedia)
· Fact checking – who fact checks the fact checkers?
· Controlled opposition
· Financial censorship – weaponizing the banking system (Freedom Convoy) (article)
· “Journo-terrorism”
· Treatment of Activists (AO News – Whistleblowers & Activists)
· Controlling the Narrative
o Shut down experts (doctors) who think for themselves (California) (Canada)
o Revisionist history
o Propaganda
· Regulating the internet (stop uncontrolled opposition, prevent alternative media)
· Digital ID (AO News – Digital ID)
· Digital cash (AO News – Digital Cash)
· Reward “good” behaviour (incentives), punish “bad” behaviour

Book Burning
With so much of our information online these days, the book burning is actually “bit” burning rather than the literal burning of pages. Books are being excluded from or shadow banned by big retailers such as Amazon.
Always creative, smaller publishers have sprung up to fill the gap. (trineday.com)
Censorship
“If someone disagrees with you that is not a hate crime. If someone has an opinion about something, that does not make them fall into a specific category. If somebody questions something, it doesn’t make them a conspiracy theorist. If someone doesn’t like one particular thing, it doesn’t make them anti that entire particular theory or subject. And, you know, we’re getting into some dangerous, dangerous territory that some of you guys may not be noticing … once we stop letting people speak and have individualized opinions we are in trouble. We are going towards something that has never ever, ever benefited us. So, it is really important for us as people to not be policing each other to the extent that we are actually going to prevent open honest communication at a level that is just going to create thoughtful critical thinking. ” Twin Flame Revolution (TikTok @dovandnicole) [mark 0:10]
When governments (defense departments) released the internet to academic and commercial interests in the 1980s, there was a lot of excitement and high expectations. Coupled with the fledgling personal computer industry, the possibilities for communication and the transfer of information were endless. There was no reason why a world of knowledge could not be at the fingertips of every person!
However, the original idealism had to be adjusted to account for deliberate attack on the machines. Hackers infiltrated systems, at first just for fun then with malicious intent to cause destruction, then with the idea of being paid (by victims and/or instigators). Criminals figured out how to bypass corporate and government supervision and enforcement. Trolls attacked information and people online by being deliberately provocative and unkind in their anonymity.
Tech companies grew bigger as the “free” services they provided were paid for by the direct and indirect collection and sale of data and meta-data (data indirectly gleaned from the actions of users online). Companies and governments began to realize the power of that data to influence people – targeted product advertising, political marketing (i.e. Cambridge Analytica). They began to realize the power of controlling data – influence, access to funds, news, knowledge, surveillance and tracking.
In 2013 whistleblower Edward Snowden made the world aware of the USA’s National Security Agency (NSA) and its international intelligence partners’ secret mass surveillance programs and capabilities. These revelations generated unprecedented attention around the world on privacy intrusions and digital security, leading to a global debate on the issue.
Online propaganda and censorship grew under the guise of stopping and preventing criminal behaviour, hacking, trolling and misinformation. Control heightened around 2016 as Donald Trump became President of the United States and “fake news” confusingly for/against his political campaign became rampant.
The big tech companies’ grip on social media information sources (Google / Youtube, facebook / Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Paypal) became glaringly obvious, prompting the U.S. government to call company heads to testify before inquiries. (article)
Artificial intelligence (AI) and fact-checking services were deployed to intercept misinformation and deny service, but unsurprisingly had a bias of their own – an unforgiving bias, which put targeted individuals and organizations at a serious disadvantage in reaching their audience.
Early targets were the pornographic industry (use of video and financial payment services), alternative / natural healthcare, vaccine education information, forcing targets to setup their own independent technology systems.
At the annual Canadian Parliamentary Press Gallery Dinner in 2019, Prime Minister Trudeau bragged about the Liberal Party “greasing the wheels” of the media to the tune of $600 million. (video 30 secs)
In 2020, with the COVID-19 pandemic response taking the headlines, the issue of misinformation / bias in traditional and online mainstream media became polarized: with people who had whole-hearted faith in governments and the mainstream media rejecting the information of those-who-questioned, especially regarding the “vaccine” roll-out pitting the “vaxxed” against “anti-vaxxers”.

Fact Checking
In August 2020 with COVID-19, 5G and other so called “conspiracy theories” running rampant, the main social media companies (facebook/Instagram/messenger, twitter, paypal,) started vetting users’ content with a vengeance. Theoretically all narratives that did not concur with World Health Organization (WHO) or government such as the USA’s Centers for Disease Control (CDC) party lines were removed, including entire channels and links within direct messages. Some users lost decades of content and thousands of followers. Of course, the question became, who is fact-checking the fact-checkers?
Content creators and users responded by moving to other platforms including Bitchute.com, Brandnewtube.com, flote.app, Brighteon.com, Brighteon.social, gab.com, lbry.tv, MeWe.com, Odysee.com, rumble.com, wt.social.
Users learned not to rely on third-party app providers for data storage, learning the hard way that when involved with a third party, if you are not careful you give up control and run the risk of losing your data and contacts.
It is interesting to note that the Wall Street Journal (controlled by Rupert Murdoch) (and the Guardian UK) are promoting 5G despite health and surveillance concerns with article titles like:
- 5G Needs A Lot More Cell Towers. Some Residents Aren’t Happy.
- With 5G on the Horizon Startups See Potential in Small Data Hubs
- Behind Samsung’s Big Bet on 5G
- Inside Verizon’s 5G Game Plan
- We Tested 5G Across America. It's Crazy Fast—and a Hot Mess.
- Why Being First in 5G Matters
- China Is About to Switch On 5G. It’s Behind the U.S., but Not for Long.
One wonders, how much money do the owners of these media services have invested in the products they promote?
It is easy to see how the major media companies are interconnected and possibly influenced. See AO News – Media Memes / 6 Companies
