Media Circus- Panem et Circenses- The hidden persuaders of media networks

The Fourth Estate, the free press, is anything but free in these days of First world financial decomposition. As all is linked in a power construct of world wide magnitude. Fed on electronically controlled capital transfer mechanisms, manipulated by "the happy few", that are as opaque as the nights in orgiastic Pompei before the Eruption; where they met to celebrate their elitist status of rich and enviable. Just like their current counterparts do in their Jet set locations around the globe.

This is not new as the whole construct of Pax Americana since "Reaganomics" inception days has been to concentrate power of the press in the hands of Media Barons, part of the feudal, First world elite; of the new supply side mantra of deregulated Thatcherism bequeathed by post industrial "big bang" on both sides of the Atlantic. The mindsets of Ronald and Margaret were two peas from the same pod!

This corporate concentration and resulting media regulatory capture became all too evident with the advent of all-powerful cable TV during the Iraq Operation Desert storm of Bush's NWO military strategy, launched in 1991.

Ted Turner and CNN iconised that new media mind set, where fake military prowess was fed to a bemused world "Only on CNN", by the likes of dragon lady on-the-spot, Christiane Amanpour, and point media war room program editor Wolf Blitzer. What CNN started as instant slanted TV media scam became generalised and even more slanted subsequently by Rupert Murdoch's Fox TV.

We were now in totally prefabricated news on an industrial scale where the message is what the media said it was, irrespective of reality in the field. The Fourth estate has thus become totally owned by the Oligarchs of this world, like Bloomberg TV. All networked in social constructs that protect economic or socio-political lobbies of ethnic bent, who are lords of the oil patch or anointed guardians of Western values on Eurasian continent. New Knight Templars of the Oligarchical age.

Regulatory capture, as with the notational corporates regulating the financial risk assets market, is now complete by the Powers that be; all devoted to privatising their profits off-shore and socialising by ricochet government held debts generated by their mad frenzy of derivative products financialisation via the banking cabal, whose nominal size is more than ten times the size of the real world economy.

All devoted to kleptocratic minded, pathologically fueled scams of privately controlled, unregulated, OTC  financial trades;  margin calls amongst crony, incestuous banks feeding the fires of inevitable risk asset deflation; the insidious, visible froth of the ground swell underneath churning up the financial seas to unfurl the economic tsunami in the making. Irresponsibility proclaimed like a whim and accountability abandoned like surplus swimwear  on an uber-alles nudist beach.

We were now totally in imperial Rome on the MSM channels, as all the major media channels aligned themselves to the FOX generated mantra hype, all devoted to the glory of the Oligarchs. "Panem and Circenses" was now generalised worldwide. It led to the 2003 "Clash of civilizations" war on "Terror",  and the concomitant hubristically fed 2001-2008 financial meltdowns based on rampant greed.

The new Rome that now emerges in the aftermath of this current ongoing capitalistic mayhem, is now draped in the tinsel shroud of central bank fiat money pumping of unlimited magnitude; fake financial economy levitation like human muscle expansion fed on steroids; it is now a hollow shell of its past power.

Covered in lies and debt. With no way out as it fabricates its own viral toxins of internal institutional decay just like ancient Rome did.

The hidden persuaders, the Mad Men, of our hubristic age have now taken over the media spin. All those who  are in cognitive dissonance now risk to be labeled as "heretics" and pulled into the dragnet of repression of which the state "terrorista" legislation of the NDAA is the newest twist, as the USA administration morphs into Orwellian Big Brother State.

We have nowhere to go, those who are neither revolutionary of bend nor willing collaborators of despotic madness. The 99% of people of first world are condemned to see their life's work and their progeny's futures go up in Oligarchically manipulated debt slavery for decades to come.
