1917: J.P. Morgan bought US corporate media to be 1%'s lying sacks of spin? (http://www.infowars.com/1917-j-p-morgan-bought-us-corporate-media-to-be-1%E2%80%99s-lying-sacks-of-spin/)

Congressman Oscar Callaway lost his Congressional election for opposing US entry into WW 1. Before he left office, he demanded investigation into JP Morgan & Co for purchasing control over America’s leading 25 newspapers in order to propagandize US public opinion in favor of his corporate and banking interests, including profits from US participation in the war. Mr. Callaway alleged he had the evidence to prove Morgan associates were working as editors to select and edit articles, with the press receiving monthly payments for their allegiance to Morgan.

One of the leading papers, The New York Times, printed the story (http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9504E7DA1538EE32A25757C1A9649C94 6696D6CF) of Congressman Callaway’s call for investigation from Washington, D.C., but the editor chose a curious obfuscating headline:



FOR PRESS INVESTIGATION

Moore Asks Inquiry Into Charges

on Preparedness Campaign.


The US eventually followed “opinion leaders” into the war, despite no national security risk from the sinking of a British ship (Lusitania) carrying over four million rounds of ammunition (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1098904/Secret-Lusitania-Arms-challenges-Allied-claims-solely-passenger-ship.html?ITO=1490#) to kill Germans, and Germany’s offer to Mexico to attack the US with an empty promise of German help if, and only if, the US declared war on Germany first (Zimmermann telegram (http://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/zimmermann/); Mexico rejected the offer immediately as a military impossibility and a ploy for Americans to busy themselves killing Mexicans instead of Germans). The US then imprisoned people who questioned the war (http://www.examiner.com/nonpartisan-in-national/occupy-this-us-history-exposes-the-1-s-crimes-then-and-now-5-of-6-1), including US candidates for President.

Both my grandfathers risked their lives in the American Expeditionary Force, as did your relatives, in a war media-fed to the public with lies of commission and omission.

Congressman Callaway joined Congressman Abraham Lincoln in being deposed from Congress for challenging lying war rhetoric (http://www.examiner.com/x-18425-LA-County-Nonpartisan-Examiner~y2010m2d12-Abraham-Lincoln-preemptive-wars-Iraq-Iran-are-lies-war-at-pleasure-impoverish-the-US) and being branded as “unpatriotic.”

I found no follow-up report of Mr. Callaway’s request for investigation. However, we have abundant evidence that US corporate media is controlled for propaganda in our world of the present to cover-up the US’ history of unlawful wars (http://www.examiner.com/nonpartisan-in-national/occupy-this-us-history-exposes-the-1-s-crimes-then-and-now-1-of-6). Consider this (http://www.examiner.com/la-county-nonpartisan-in-los-angeles/open-proposal-for-us-revolution-expose-corporate-media-as-propaganda-4-of-4) as one example:



The Church Senate Committee hearings had the cooperation of CIA Director William Colby’s testimony that over 400 CIA operatives were controlling US corporate media (http://www.examiner.com/x-18425-LA-County-Nonpartisan-Examiner~y2009m11d23-Prostitution-journalism-Yup-mainstream-media-is-intentional-propaganda-Accept-the-evidence) reporting on specific issues of national interest in what they called Operation Mockingbird. This stunning testimony was then confirmed by Pulitzer Prize reporter Carl Bernstein’s research (http://carlbernstein.com/magazine_cia_and_media.php) and reporting. Of course, corporate media refused to publish Bernstein’s article and it became the cover-story for Rolling Stone.

The Shadows of Power: The Council on Foreign Relations and the American Decline (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0882791346/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=libert0f-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399349&creativeASIN=0882791346)


Does America have a hidden oligarchy? Is U.S. foreign policy run by a closed shop? What is the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations)? It began in 1921 as a front organization for J.P. Morgan and Company. By World War II it had acquired unrivaled influence on American foreign policy. Hundreds of U.S. government administrators and diplomats have been drawn from its ranks - regardless of which party has occupied the White House. But what does the Council on Foreign Relations stand for? Why do the major media avoid discussing it? What has been its impact on America's past - and what is it planning for the future?
