Moti Nissani

I haven't seen Moti Nissani mentioned here. Anybody seen his stuff?



Since at least one high profile conspiracy theorist said Nissani's series is the best summary ever of the big picture, anyone wishing to keep up for debunking or joking purposes might consider this a 'must read' It is kinda long. Nissani covers a lot of ground.



No claim is being made btw.

Quote:

....To my knowledge, the greatest and most thorough book ever to appear on media bias in the United States (Upton Sinclair’s The Brass Check–a book that is hardly ever mentioned by media scholars whose work is a mere update of that older book) was self-published in 1919. Suppression of the truth, prostitution, and bias were as dire then as they are today. Here are just a few typical excerpts: “Our newspapers do not represent public interests, but private interests; they do not represent humanity, but property; they value a man, not because he is great, or good, or wise, or useful, but because he is wealthy, or of service to vested wealth. “I was determined to get something done about the Condemned Meat Industry. I was determined to get something done about the atrocious conditions under which men, women and children were working the Chicago stockyards. In my efforts to get something done, I was like an animal in a cage. The bars of this cage were newspapers, which stood between me and the public; and inside the cage I roamed up and down, testing one bar after another, and finding them impossible to break.” Sinclair also quotes from a speech of John Swinton, editor of a major New York newspaper of that era. The occasion is a toast for an independent press. The audience: fellow editors: “The business of the New York journalist is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and to sell his race and his country for his daily bread. You know this and I know it, and what folly is this to be toasting an “Independent Press.” We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping-jacks; they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.” B. I mention later on in this terror series one contemporary example among thousands of the treason of the U.S. senate (contravening the Constitution by trying to regulate gun powder). In that case, I borrowed the phrase “treason of the Senate” from the title of David Graham Phillips’ great 1906 manifesto with that title. Here is one quote: “The treason of the Senate! Treason is a strong word, but not too strong, rather too weak, to characterize the situation in which the Senate is the eager, resourceful, indefatigable agent of interests as hostile to the American people as any invading army could be, and vastly more dangerous; interests that manipulate the prosperity produced by all, so that it heaps up riches for the few; interests whose growth and power can only mean the degradation of the people, of the educated into sycophants, of the masses toward serfdom.” The interests Phillips refers to are, for the most part, the ubiquitous Rockefellers and their underlings. We may note in passing that you can’t anger the Rockefellers now (e.g., as Martin Luther King or Aaron Russo found out), just as you couldn’t anger them a century ago: Phillips was assassinated in 1911, at age 43. C. A 1900 quote from America’s greatest novelist: “We do not intend to free, but to subjugate the people of the Philippines. We have gone there to conquer, not to redeem. It should, it seems to me, be our pleasure and duty to make those people free, and let them deal with their own domestic questions in their own way. And so I am an anti-imperialist. I am opposed to having the eagle put its talons on any other land.” Elsewhere Mark Twain describes the blood-curdling Moro Massacre. We may note in passing that this masterpiece of ironic writing, which rivals Swift’s “A Modest Proposal,” is rarely taught in our schools and universities. Such omissions explain in part common misconceptions about America’s real past. ....
