The Great Media Test: Credibility Destroyed and the Rise of the Living
How the COVID-19 Era Exposed and Decimated the Mainstream Information Cartel
The period of COVID-19 was, in essence, a massive, real-world experiment executed by those "pulling the strings from the shadows" to measure compliance and observe how people would react to a sudden change in environment. This test was intended to gauge the extent of influence held by various media forms—specifically social media, cell phones, and mainstream media—in 2020. The results revealed a critical shift: the influence of mainstream media was waning, while the power of social media to affect people was on the rise. This environment was deemed the perfect time for a "big test" that would maximize the remaining resources of the mainstream media, which the speaker claims has been "completely bought and sold since the beginning".
The Failure of Compliance
What was "sad" about this test was the "spectacular" failure of many people to resist, which in turn allowed the lockdowns to remain in place for as long as they did. The people pulling the strings wanted a real-time assessment of just how much people would tolerate.
The Shift in Influence
A key realization during this time was the waning effect of the mainstream media on the population, contrasted with a rise in the effects of social media. This knowledge was a primary driver for launching the "big test" when they did.
Understanding the Mockingbird Media
In the United States, the concept of Mockingbird Media is familiar to some. This was described as a CIA program where only agency recruits who completed journalism school were placed in positions of trust within the mainstream media. The main television channels and broadcasters were supposedly part of this program, receiving their scripts from the government and presenting them as objective news read by independent agents. This program has reportedly been declassified and is a well-known part of American history, though many have forgotten or never heard of it because it is being "memory-holed".
The Consistency of Control
The reason this history is being erased, according to the speaker, is that the group of people who seek to control the population today are the same group who have controlled people in the past, and they wish to maintain that control. Their primary method of control is deception.
The Phases of Media Control
Control over media has evolved through distinct technological phases, with increasing levels of control exercised each time the technology "levels up".
1) Newspapers were once the most important media, and at that time, governments controlled them by controlling the controlling interests.
2) Radio was the next phase.
3) Television became prominent as newspapers lost influence; intelligence agencies then monopolized this new medium in a more pronounced way than with radio.
4) The Internet is the current phase.
Control in the Digital Age
While the speaker asserts that the internet and social media are controlled, they admit that the internet is "not as controlled as they would like it to be". This allows ways to find information in the "cracks and eddies," though those in control make it intentionally difficult.
Television's Decline and Price Discovery
Through testing and measuring influence, it was believed to be provable that television was losing its ability to influence the masses because fewer people were watching. This was evidenced by drops in television subscriptions and a decreased return on investment for commercials. This led to a "price discovery" where it was found that investing on the internet yielded a better return than on television.
The Mainstream's Last Gasp
Just before and after 2020, television was clearly phasing out and new media was phasing in. Newspapers were also losing relevance, ad purchases, and their ability to fund themselves. If newspapers were only funded by the government, the operation would become obvious, so a "mass push" was made to "diffuse the obvious". The 2020 period became the "last gasp" for the dying media to squeeze out as much influence as possible.
The Self-Immolation Event
During the COVID-19 era, the mainstream press, television stations, and even major podcasters who were part of the "government enterprise" all destroyed their credibility by pushing the "mainstream government pharmaceutical COVID narrative". This was a "self-immolation event" where they burned themselves and necessitated a replacement. The assumption was that they could simply "leapfrog" from one burnt-out influencer to the next.
Suicide of the Audience
Those who parroted the government's talking points during the COVID-19 times destroyed their credibility, lost most of their audience, or effectively "killed their audience". The speaker claims that those who pushed the "toxic suicidal jab" (the vaccine) self-destructed their own fan base, as those who believed them and took the vaccine died. This dead fan base no longer clicks on links, buys products, or remains as an audience.
The Unrecovered Media
The speaker asserts that the media enterprises involved have never recovered from this event; television, radio, and newspapers have all been destroyed, as have the individual shows and stations that pushed the narrative. They "suicided their audience and destroyed their credibility among the living who refused to self-suicide".
A Calculated Burn or a Series of Oopsies?
It is difficult to determine if this was a series of "oopsies," "miscalculations," and "mistakes," or a "calculated burn the bridges on the way" strategy during a "retreat situation". Regardless, this period served as a "giant reveal" of the media's machinery and a "reality check" of who was real and who was not.
The Pivot to the Living
Some people have since come forward to issue a "mea culpa," apologizing for getting caught up in the fear and fervor. The question now is whether these are genuine apologies from those seeking forgiveness, or merely an attempt to save their brand. A crucial element of this is the realization that the "long-term prospects are with the living, not the zombies that are... stepping into the graves every day". If one's empire is built on a "dying population that you helped kill," a pivot is necessary. We must examine the media sphere to see if people are admitting their mistakes or still "holding the line and pretending COVID is real and pretending the vaxes are safe and effective".
The COVID-19 era was a great test where the establishment media—from traditional print and broadcast to major online figures—dramatically lost their grip on the public by universally pushing a single narrative. They effectively sacrificed their audience and their credibility as part of a final, desperate "squeeze" of influence from a dying institution. This event has unmasked them, allowing us to see who they truly are. We must not forget this moment; we must examine the media landscape and ask ourselves: are they saving their souls, or merely saving their brand by pivoting their bet onto the surviving population?
