Dr. Richard Besser, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) director who has served as the mouthpiece for the Swine Flu Outbreak has reportedly been hired by ABC News as a senior medical reporter -- the latest example of a prominent government propaganda pusher becoming a prominent corporately-owned media enabler -- whose megaphone will most likely be focused on pushing fear under the guise of an extremely suspicious Swine Flu Pandemic.


We've covered the problems with how the Swine Flu outbreak began, how dangerous the vaccines will be and how various government agencies and beings intentionally created the Swine Flu outbreak for massive corporate profits and a couple of other red flags, but we haven't covered much of how the corporately-owned media enables and furthers the various elicit agendas of the U.S. Government.

Besser is the current 'czar' that heads the CDC's Coordinating Office for Terrorism Preparedness and Emergency Response where he overlooks the CDC's public health emergency and emergency response activities. Besser will join ABC in September.


As noted by Prison Planet, Besser is essentially the government's leading propagandist when it comes to the so-called Swine Flu Pandemic and his move to ABC further embellishes the already overtly cosy relationship the Obama administration is enjoying with ABC. Last month ABC completely turned its news coverage over to the government -- minus any dissenting opinions -- in order to promote President Obama's health care agenda. A lesson on how corporately-owned media handles the truth and covers up pertinent facts can be found below.

General Electric's Censorship of MSNBC and NBC

One example of how corporately-owned media influences things and makes sure the public is -- for all intents and purposes -- left in the dark can be found in this recent article by Glenn Greenwald from Salon News. General Electric (GE) used its control of NBC and MSNBC to make sure there would be no more reporting of Fox News' business activities and the lies spread by Bill O'Reilly and the rest of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. by hushing the star of one of MSNBC's most popular shows.

The CEOs of GE, which owns MSNBC, and News Corporation, which owns Fox News, held a meeting and reportedly agreed that the dispute between MSNBC and Fox was bad for their interests and agreed to order their employees to stop attacking each other's news organizations and employees. The agreement was reached because both parties agreed that the ongoing feud was hurting unrelated corporate interests of both GE and News Corp.


It's no secret that News Corp.'s Fox News is nothing more than one major political propaganda machine that spent the first eight years of this century pushing the Bush cabal's agenda and purposely misinforming the American public. One Fox News commentator even admitted that Fox News was President Bush's channel. The only thing that has changed is that Fox News now does everything it can to try and derail all the plans of President Obama's administration by spreading lies and propaganda.

Keith Olbermann garnered a huge following and great ratings for his Countdown show by bashing the lies and fallacies of Fox News 'journalist' Bill O'Reilly. Olbermann's attacks on O'Reilly and Murdoch slowed drastically since June 1, 2009. They've slowed, but they haven't stopped completely. O'Reilly has spewed his filth and lies on Fox News for years while making millions each year for pushing them.

Owners of Large News Organizations Have Extensive Relations with the Feds

As noted by Mr. Greenwald, here we have yet another example -- probably the most glaring example yet -- of how the corporations that own our largest media outlets control and censor the content of their news organizations based on the unrelated interests of the parent corporation.

Now GE is using its control of NBC and MSNBC to try and make sure there is no more reporting of its activities by Fox News in exchange for MSNBC and NBC censoring all the lies spewed forth by Fox News. Censorship in any form by large corporations is highly disturbing and needs to be recognized for what it is.


Of course, this corporately controlled censorship has been happening for years. Last year, Jessica Yellin, admitted on CNN, the cozen news network, that the press corps was under enormous pressure from corporate executives to make sure the Iraq war was presented in a way that was consistent with the patriotic fever in the nation and to put on positive stories about the President -- Bush at that time -- or they would turn the stories down and not publish them.

Katie Couric has admitted that there was a lot of pressure not to rock the boat for a variety of reasons, primarily corporately-related -- and not to be too critical of the Bush administration. When once highly regarded journalists rock the boat, they always end up being fired or demoted, or, as in the case of Phil Donahue, cancelled. This censorship is what has resulted in America being in the corrupted situations it's in today. As noted by Mr. Greenwald, the corporations that own our largest news organizations have extensive relationships with the federal government.

Passing off Propaganda Pushers as Analysts is a Major Conflict of Interest

Another favorite activity of corporately-owned media is to pass off propaganda pushers as analysts, as will be the case of Dr. Richard Besser and ABC News. MSNBC does it all the time. Richard Wolffe is an 'MSNBC political analyst' that is often asked to comment on political news. Wolffe is an 'analyst' that works for Public Strategies, Inc. Wolffe works in Washington where he advises several clients on developing strategies for managing corporate reputation and uncertainty.


Making matters worse is that fact that these 'analysts' usually don't identify themselves as being paid to push propaganda for the firms that pay them, resulting in major conflicts of interest.

The U.S. government is famous for using propaganda pushers to peddle their one-sided lies. Many of the news outlets have used 'military analysts' for years to push covert propaganda and shape public opinion. Despite the Government Accountability Office's (GAO) ruling that some 75 retired military officers the govenment and the Pentagon used to push the lies leading to the illegal occupation of Iraq was not covert propaganda, it was. The only reason the GAO made that ruling is because the Pentagon allegedly didn't pay the pundits for their favorable commentary or conceal the program from the public. That's not entirely true.

The GAO ignored well-documented evidence to the contrary. Some of the 'analysts' admitted that the Pentagon access and information they received was as good as gold and many of the 'analysts' are lobbyists, executives or consultants for military contractors who have made a fortune off the illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. More on the military pundits and the GAO's delusional revelations can be found in this article from Counter Punch.

As also noted by Mr. Greenwald, there are many reasons why our establishment press exists to do little other than serve the interests of the political and financial establishment and to mindlessly amplify government claims and the virtual disappearance of the line between large corporate interests and journalism is one of the leading factors.

GE Constantly Manipulates our Political Process

GE is reportedly proud of their censorship of American journalism, openly and proudly boasting of their control over the News organizations they own. America's entire political system has been hijacked -- it is now designed to ensure corporate control of our political institutions and our politicians. 'Laws' and 'legislation' passed by Congress are largely written by lobbyists who control their implementation. GE spent $21.5 million last year on lobbying, making their control of NBC and MSNBC's News outlets all the more dangerous. GE's interest in the outcome of our political process and their corporate interests are extremely vast and their relationship with the U.S. Government is a vital aspect of its business.


GE's contracts with the Federal government rose to $3.8 billion during the two years ending Sept. 30, 2004 -- the most recent period for which figures are available. It's not at all surprising when you consider the fact that GE spent more on lobbying in the April, May and June this year than any other company. GE spent $7.2 million lobbying in those three months alone. GE spends more on lobbying than any other corporation, which explains their intimate relationship with Congress and the Obama administration. You too can own Congress and the President's office if you're willing to spend millions to pay them off.

As noted by Mr. Greenwald, GE constantly manipulates our political process and Washington politicians for its own self-interest. Now GE is manipulating our political debates through its control over our leading news outlets for the same purposes. More on the dangers of GE's control over MSNBC and NBC can be found in this article by Mr. Greenwald and more on the silencing of MSNBC can be found in his other article.

GE's only one of the large corporations that owns Washington. GE owns NBC. Viacom owns CBS and Disney owns ABC. All the large networks -- as with the larger Newspapers -- operate along the same lines. Serve their interests and purposely misinform the public. More information on how they mislead the public and get away with it can be found at The Daily Kos, War on You and PBS. There are many more examples of media complicity and corporate ownership of politicians in Washington available. Corporately-owned media has been censoring the illegal activities of the U.S. government for many decades.


Meanwhile, Besser will become the official mouthpiece for the Swine Flu on ABC News so the Swine Flu propaganda charades and the corporate media manipulations will continue. In the near future I'll go into more detail on media complicity, both televised and printed in newspapers, and all the bloviating buffoons who are paid millions to spread the lies and instill fear in the general population.

The U.S. Population Needs to Speak up and get Involved

As I've stated previously, the official 9/11 fairy tale is unraveling. The BBC "hitpiece" regarding the implosion of the WTC 7 -- that they reported had collapsed several minutes before it actually did while on camera -- actually admits at the end of it that there is a 9/11 coverup. Despite all the evidence to the contrary, some people are actually gullible enough to believe the Bush administration's lies about 9/11 instead of the actual truth while ignoring the Bush administration's complicity in the crimes committed on 9/11/01. The press has pushed the official lies about the attacks of 9/11 from day one and has shown repeated complicity in trying to justify the lies because the large parental companies that own the press are just as guilty as those who perpetrated the attacks and those who purposely allowed them to happen. Some in Washington are still trying to use the lies for justifying the destruction of civil rights and liberties after the attacks of 9/11.


I've also said that if you follow the 9/11 trail, it leads back to Israel. Many key members of the Bush administration held dual Israeli-American citizenship. It's important to also note that almost each and every time some moron claims anti-semetism when anyone mentions Israel, it's because they are trying to keep the truth covered up. Make no mistake: revealing Israeli government corruption is not attacking Jewish people. It has nothing to do with the Jewish people or the Jewish religion at all. It's calling out the Israeli government corruption and nothing more. The only reason these corrupted politicians and others cry 'anti-semetism' is because they don't want you to know the truth and how guilty they are of committing egregious crimes against humanity. As in most cases, the one making the most noise is usually the most guilty.

As noted by Michael Crowley: "There's no silver bullet. But the only way to get America back on its feet without compounding our problems is for regular folks to speak up, get involved, and make it clear that we won't stand for the culture of greed anymore." We shouldn't stand for the intentional deception either. If Americans -- and the rest of the world -- don't get involved in an intentionally manufactured Swine Flu pandemic, there are going to be a lot of casualties from forced Swine Flu vaccinations. It's time for Americans to take back their country and rid Washington of the permeating stench of corruption that has run rife for decades. It's time for accountability and it's time to restore the rule of law.
