Today mainstream news is almost all propaganda meant to spread and reinforce the narratives of the deep state (and other "groups")
that, among other things, divide us, distract us and keep us living in a state of fear.
The more you can understand the tactics they use, the easier it becomes to spot fake news.
Edward Bernays is up in heaven right now laughing at the brainwashed masses his concepts helped to create....well maybe not heaven :o)
Awesome post, this is the type of content we need more of.
Cheers,

Yup, to be able to escape manipulation and soft mind control, first the awareness of the tactics and techniques is required in order to understand how we are being deceived. Thanks for the feedback. Some people like this type of content, and some of the rich rulers think it's not good for Steemit. All my posts get flagged just before payout. The rich get to decide who can keep their rewards. If they don't like you, they can just take some off.
That means Steemit isn't a free speech platform, it's censored.
That's really sad and changes my perspective of this place.
Thanks for the 411 man.
Yeah check the past 3+ months (to end of Feb) to see. I thought I could earn an audience and support after 6 months and get to keep my rewards for posting on various things and some original work of my own, but that original work on morality and consciousness was what started to get flagged first, then I challenged the rich authorities here and things got worse lol. It's all in my previous posts. Other people can keep the rewards for their posts that get higher rewards than me... but I can't...lol. It seems not many people care overall, as long as they aren't the ones getting mistreated like this. So I protested by not posting for months. Not the best strategy obviously, since hardly anyone really cares lol.
Yeah, I guess I have a lot to learn here.
Thanks for the info man :o)
