The Illusion of Choice: 90% of American Media Controlled by 6 Corporations

The Illusion of Choice: 90% of American Media Controlled by 6 Corporations

by Vic Bishop – The Activist Post 

It is worth repeating again and again that the bulk of America’s mainline media is owned and controlled by a mere 6 corporations. This, of course, means that unless you’re already consciously avoiding these mainline media sources, then most of the news and entertainment that makes it onto your screen and into your mind comes from a small pool of corporate sources, all of which play important roles in delivering propaganda, social programming and perpetual crisis narratives to the public.

The conglomerates are: General Electric, News Corp., Disney, Viacom, Time Warner and CBS. 

All are corporations that have their own shady histories, dealings and suspicious actors. Disney being widely regarded as an occult enterprise aimed at warping the minds of children with disturbing subliminal imagery. One of these companies is also the 12th largest US military defense contractor, so it’s no surprise that so much of our entertainment centers around the glorification of war and violence.

By surveying what is available for consumption in the mass media, it is easy to see what type of society these 6 corporations are helping to construct. They have the power to warp reality by calling staged shows ‘reality’ shows. Ideas which don’t support mainstream narratives and the consumer agenda are omitted, and stories about independent people over-coming strife without dependence on government are seldom if ever elevated.

The promotion of shallow, materialistic, ego-centric values, and the obvious dumbing down of the American population is coming from these 6 corporations. Think about that. These are the companies that glorify consumption, obedience, ignorance, the hyper-sexualization of youth, the glorification of war and government surveillance, and so on. The advertisers that support these media companies have tremendous sway over what makes it on the airwaves. They help to control public perception.

The bottom line is that corporate media is a behemoth of special interests and mind controllers. So much of the human story is omitted in this capitalistic, for-profit environment scheme like this, which is why now more than ever the independent, alternative media is such a gem for human kind.

The info-graphic below was produced in 2011 by FrugalDad.com, and although there have been some changes to the information since then, the landscape of American media is well represented here. Compare today to 1983 when the industry was occupied by some 50 independent media companies.

Some changes to the graphic noted by Business Insider:

NOTE: This infographic is from last year and is missing some key transactions. GE does not own NBC (or Comcast or any media) anymore. So that 6th company is now Comcast. And Time Warner doesn’t own AOL, so Huffington Post isn’t affiliated with them.

With such tremendous global reach in all forms of media communication, these corporations help to shape our world by providing coverage of our lives, analyses of our world, entertainment to pass our time and inspire our minds, and even distraction and occupation for our children.

5G NETWORK USES SAME EMF WAVES AS PENTAGON CROWD CONTROL SYSTEM

5G NETWORK USES SAME EMF WAVES AS PENTAGON CROWD CONTROL SYSTEM

Terence Newton, Staff Writer

Waking Times – wakingtimes.com

The global rollout of 5G is well underway, and we soon may see new small cell towers near all schools, on every residential street, dispersed throughout the natural environment, and pretty much everywhere. But the safety of this technology is in serious question, and there is a raging battle to stop the taxpayer funded implementation of 5G.

The new cell network uses high band radio frequency millimeter waves to deliver high bandwidth data to any device within line of sight.

“Today’s cellular and Wi-Fi networks rely on microwaves – a type of electromagnetic radiation utilizing frequencies up to 6 gigahertz (GHz) in order to wirelessly transmit voice or data. However, 5G applications will require unlocking of new spectrum bands in higher frequency ranges above 6 GHz to 100 GHz and beyond, utilizing submillimeter and millimeter waves – to allow ultra-high rates of data to be transmitted in the same amount of time as compared with previous deployments of microwave radiation.” [Source]

“One of the ways 5G will enable this is by tapping into new, unused bands at the top of the radio spectrum. These high bands are known as millimeter waves (mmwaves), and have been recently been opened up by regulators for licensing. They’ve largely been untouched by the public, since the equipment required to use them effectively has typically been expensive and inaccessible.” [Source]

Among the many potential problems with exposure to 5G radio waves are issues with the skin, which is interesting when you consider that this technology is already being used in the military for crowd control purposes.

“This kind of technology, which is in many of our homes, actually interacts with human skin and eyes. The shocking finding was made public via Israeli research studies that were presented at an international conference on the subject last year. Below you can find a lecture from Dr. Ben-Ishai of the Department of Physics at Hebrew University. He goes through how human sweat ducts act like a number of helical antennas when exposed to these wavelengths that are put out by the devices that employ 5G technology.” [Source]

The U.S. military developed a non-lethal crowd control weapon system called the Active Denial System (ADS). It uses radio frequency millimeter waves in the 95GHz range to penetrate the top 1/64 of an inch layer of skin on the targeted individual, instantly producing an intolerable heating sensation that causes them to flee.

This technology is becoming ubiquitous in top world militaries, demonstrating how genuinely effective this radio frequency energy can be at causing harm to humans and anything else.

“U.S., Russian, and Chinese defense agencieshave been active in developing weapons that rely on the capability of this electromagnetic technology to create burning sensations on the skin, for crowd control. The waves are Millimetre waves, also used by the U.S. Army in crowd dispersal guns called Active Denial Systems.” [Source]

Final Thoughts

The fight over 5G is heating up at the community level, and awareness of this important issue is spreading fast. For more background on 5G, watch this video from Take Back Your Power, featuring Tom Wheeler, Former FCC Chairman and corporate lobbyist, who delivers a rather intimidating and presumptuous speech praising this new technology. The fight over 5G is heating up at the community level, though, and now is the time to speak out against it.

THE ORIGIN OF SUN WORSHIP SUN DAY WORSHIP

THE ORIGIN OF SUN WORSHIP

SUN DAY WORSHIP

Sun-day worship is the setting aside of the first day of the week for the worship of the sun deity, known in Babylon as Tammuz, in Persia as Mithras, in Greece as Helios and in Rome as Sol Invictus, the “unconquerable sun”.

THE ORIGIN OF SUN WORSHIP

Sun worship originated in Babylon with the Scriptural character known as Nimrod setting himself up as a “mighty one” in the earth by subjugating the population of that time to his authority and control (Genesis 10:8-12). Pagan sources name his wife as Semiramis who became identified as the Queen of heaven. 

Yahudim (Jewish) historical sources state that he was killed by one of the patriarchs because of the evil he was bringing into the earth. After his death, Semiramis his wife, became pregnant and bore a son which was claimed to be of divine origin, having been conceived from the now risen “Nimrod”.

The Scripture tells us that there were progeny from the “sons of Elohiym (G-D)” after the era of the flood (Genesis 6:4).

The word used for ‘giants’ is Nephilim which means ‘fallen ones’ and there are many instances where these ‘fallen ones’, the progeny of the fallen angels, are mentioned in Scripture after the flood.

It seems that the name Tammuz was given to this child of “divine” origin and he became worshiped as the promised messiah for the fallen race of mankind. Being hailed as the life-giver, the one who would revert the curse upon man through faith in him, the solar image, representing the physical giver of life, became a symbol which was used to represent him and in time sun worship developed out of this symbolism.

Nimrod/Tammuz and his mother-wife, Semiramis, founded the great pagan religions centered around this counterfeit representation of the messianic hope of mankind. “Sun worship was the earliest idolatry .” -Fausset Bible Dictionary , p. 666.

Sun-worship became the dominant religion in all ancient civilizations, spreading from Mother Babylon to India, China, Africa, Greece, Rome, Mexico, South America, Egypt and Europe. Historically, pagan Babylon worshipped the sun as a deity, and pagan religions also worshipped the invincible sun. The first day of the week, the most pre-eminent position in the week, was therefore given to the worship of the sun in the calendar of the ancients. 

Worshipping on Sunday goes back at least two thousand years before YAHUSHA The Messiah. It was from this false sun-worship that we get the name ‘Sunday’ – i.e. sun-day, in our calendar for the first day of the week.

“Sunday is the first day of the week, adopted from the Roman calendar because it was dedicated to the worship of the sun.” [Unger’s Bible Dictionary under the article “Sunday”]

Babylon is the mother of all “harlot” religions and all the pagan abominations and false worship systems that exists on earth!

THE INFILTRATION OF THE ASSEMBLY/CONGREGATION

Sun worship was a very prominent religion at the time of YAHUSHA The Messiah and Sunday was the main day of worship in the pagan Roman Empire, just as it was in ancient pagan Babylon.

“Sun worship was one of the oldest components of the Roman religion.” [Gaston H. Halsberge, The Cult of Sol Invictus, 1972, p. 26.]

Pagan Babylon’s rituals, customs and sun worship began to infiltrate the Assembly/Congregation in the first two centuries through Greek philosophy. But it was not until the time of Constantine, that it had a major effect when he made “Christianity” the state religion and incorporated the traditions associated with the worship of the sun into his legislations for Church practice. 

He changed the observance of the Sabbath to the first day of the week, in honour of the “Invincible Sun” by civil law, and filled the church with the commonly used pagan holy days, images and symbols of the sun.

The Interpreter’s Dictionary of the Bible’ emphasizes the motive of Constantine for legislating Sunday as a day of rest, and stresses, “Indeed, this god” (the sun god) “was the titulary divinity of Constantine’s family, and from the fourth century there is an increasing assimilation of Christ to the Sun-god (as Sun of Righteousness), the Christos Helios (cf. Eusebius Life of Constantine 1.4.18; and the notable mosaic of Christos Helios recently uncovered in the tomb of the Julii under the Vatican).”

Constantine who reigned from 306-337, called the Sun-deity: “Unconquered Sun, my companion.” His edict in the year 321 legislated the “venerable day of the Sun” to be a rest-day. 

This rest was commanded in honour of the sun-god, and not in honour of the YAHUSHA The Messiah, the Son of YAHUAH ELOHIYM.

“On the Venerable Day of the Sun (“Venerable die Solis” -the sacred day of the Sun) let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed. In the country, however, persons engaged in agriculture may freely and lawfully continue their pursuits; because it often happens that another day is not so suitable for grain-sowing or for vine-planting; lest by neglecting the proper moment for such operations the bounty of heaven should be lost- given the 7th day of March [A.D. 321], Crispus and Constantine being consuls each of them for the second time.” [The First Sunday Law of Constantine I, in “Codex Justianianus,”lib. 3, tit. 12, 3; trans. in Phillip Schaff, History of the Christian Church, Vol. 3, p. 380]

Eusebius, his supporter, says, ” All things whatsoever that were prescribed for the Sabbath, we have transferred them to the Lord’s day, as being more authoritative and more highly regarded and first in rank, and more honorable than the Jewish Sabbath.” [Bishop Eusebius, quoted in J. P. Migne, “Patrologie,” p. 23,1169-1172 (Eusebius of Caesarea was a high-ranking Catholic leader during Constantine’s lifetime]

This change-over to Sunday by the Official State Church took place in the year 336 and was the first law passed to legalise Sunday-keeping (some authorities give the date as 364) at the Council of Laodicca, Canon 29:

“Christians shall not Judaize and be idle on Saturday (in the original: ‘sabbato’ -shall not be idle on the Sabbath), but shall work on that day; but the Lord’s day they shall especially honour, and as being Christians, shall, if possible, do no work on that day. If, however, they are found Judaizing, they shall be shut out (‘anathema,’ excommunicated) from Christ.” [ Council of Laodicea, c. A.D. 337, Canon 29, quoted in C. J. Hefele, A History of the Councils of the Church, Vol. 2, p. 316]

However, Netseriym’s (Followers, or Branches, of YAHUSHA The Messiah) continued to observe the seventh-day Sabbath at least as late as the middle of the fifth century A.D. 450. Socrates made this statement 100 years after Constantine’s Sunday Law was passed: “Although almost all Assemblies throughout the world celebrate the sacred mysteries on the Sabbath every week, yet the Christians of Alexandria and at Rome, on account of some ancient tradition, have ceased to do this.” -Socrates Scholasticus, quoted in Ecclesiastical History, Book 5, chap. 22 [written shortly after A.D. 439].

Also as quoted by Sozomen, “The people of Constantinople, and almost everywhere, assemble together on the Sabbath, as well as on the first day of the week, which custom is never observed at Rome or at Alexandria” [Ecclesiastical History, vii, 19, in A Select Library of Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, 2nd Series, Vol. 2, p. 390 (written soon after A.D. 415)].

But gradually the influence and power of the Roman Church grew, supported by political and civil authorities with their power and the strong anti-Judaism that prevailed. Sabbath-keeping dwindled until there was but a scattered and persecuted remnant left.

In the 5th century, the Messiah was not only called “the True Sun,” but also “the true Apollo,”‘ the age- old Sun-deity of the Greeks. The adoption of Sunday instead of the Sabbath, became a contributory factor in the assimilation of our Saviour to the Sun, even the Sun as deity, Him being made into Christos Helios, Christ the True Sun, Christ the Eternal Sun.

Many of the pagan sunburst images used by the church show up in various forms of church art. The art-forms of the time in paintings and pictures, as well in statues and images, depicted our Messiah with sun-rays or a nimbus (sun-disc) about His head. There are a great number of these illustrations to be found in ecclesiastical books. In a large number of the traditional churches altars there are the same general Babylonian sun symbol. Some have tapestry with a sunburst design nearly identical to the pagan sun-god symbol of Baal/Shamash. This tapestry is called the altar frontal, antipendium, or pallium altaris.

YISRAEL AS AN EXAMPLE

In the great temple of Babylon, the golden image of the Sun was exhibited for the worship of the Babylonians. In Egypt, the disk of the Sun was represented in the temples, and the sovereign and his wife and children were represented as adoring it. In the worship of Baal, as practiced by the idolatrous Yisraelites in the days of their apostasy, the worship of the sun’s image was equally observed; and it is striking to find that the image of the sun, which apostate Yisrael worshipped, was erected above the altar.

So the false religion of sun worship in Yisrael was Baal and it all came from the same source, from ‘Babylon’. In their worship of Baal, they profaned the Sabbath and worshiped on the first day of the week, the sun day instead of YAHUAH’s worship day, the seventh day of the week. For this, YAHUAH brought a charge against them and judged them.

“Moreover, they have done this to Me: They have defiled My sanctuary on the same day and profaned My Sabbaths.” (Ezekiel 23:38) And for this He brought the Babylonians against them to defile their sanctuary and allow the land her Sabbaths: “to fulfill the word of YAHUAH by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her Sabbaths. As long as she lay desolate she kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.” 2 Chronicles 36:21

YAHUAH had forbidden them to bring any of the objects of Baal worship into their tents or homes, and He especially commanded that none of their pagan customs ever be used in connection with His worship.

“The graven images of their elohiyms shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee…. Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it.” Deuteronomy 7:25, 26.

He also commanded “Take heed to yourself that you are not ensnared to follow after them (the way the nations worship their elohiyms) .. .. .. and that thou inquire not after their elohiyms, saying, How did these nations serve their elohiyms? even so will I do likewise.” Deuteronomy 12:30.

The Yisraelites were also warned not to adopt pagan religious practices that YAHUAH viewed as abominations. “You shall not worship YAHUAH your ELOHIYM in that way: .. .. .. “Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.” (Deuteronomy 12:31a, 32).

How does He relate to worship on Sunday which was transferred directly from pagan Baal sun worship to honour the AntiMessiah system of Babylonian worship?

“So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother of Harlots and abominations of the earth ” (Revelation 17:3-5.).

Is Easter In The Scriptures? Translation Error!

Is Easter In The Scriptures? Translation Error!

The King James Version of the Bible mentions Easter—but only once! Why do other translations say Passover? 

As should be the case, many look to the Scriptures as their main source for guidance on how to please YAHUAH, including on the subject of Easter. But among these well-meaning people are many who wrongly assume that the ending of the Old Covenant also ended every law associated with it. 

They have been led to believe that the “old law” was replaced with a new standard—heralded by YAHUSHA The Messiah at His death. 

This is a major part of the thinking that has led so many to mistakenly assume that Easter has replaced Passover.

For proof that Easter is the observance for Christians, some cite the King James Version of the Bible in which one New Testament verse mentions “Easter.” Let’s look at this verse and see what it really says.

“And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people” (Acts 12:4, KJV, emphasis added throughout).

In the 1611 version of the King James Bible, this is the only verse where “Easter” is used. William Tyndale’s translation is even older, completed in 1522, and he used “Easter” in many New Testament verses. Yet most modern translations do not use “Easter” in any verse!

What is the controversy surrounding this word, and why do almost all modern translations say “Passover” if Easter is truly the day Christians should observe?

A problem with translations

Let’s start by looking at the original Greek word that the early translators had to translate into English. The Greek New Testament uses the word pascha or πάσχα in this verse. What does pascha mean? How was it viewed by the scholars King James assembled to produce his English translation?

Long before Tyndale’s Bible, translators working in Alexandria in the third century began translating the Old Testament Scriptures into Greek. When they came to the Hebrew word pesach or פֶּ֥סַח, there was no equivalent word in Greek. The Greeks never observed the Passover, and therefore didn’t have that word in their language. 

To avoid mistranslating it, the scholars transliterated it into a Greek form of the original Hebrew.

To transliterate means “to transcribe (a word, etc., in one alphabet) into corresponding letters of another alphabet” (Collins English Dictionary, 2003). 

In other words, it is not a translation, but a representation in another alphabet. In this case, it was changing the letters for the Hebrew פֶּ֥סַח (pesach) into the corresponding Greek letters to arrive at πάσχα (pascha).

Many early translators of the Bible into Latin and English chose to use the word Easter instead of the word Passover.

Nearly a century before the King James Version, Tyndale started his translation of the New Testament from the Greek, which included pascha, the transliteration of pesach. When he came across this transliterated word, he chose not to transliterate it in English. Because the season of the Passover was near the time of Easter, Tyndale opted to use “Easter,” even though he knew there was a significant difference between these festivals.

This Greek word pascha occurs 29 times in the New Testament, and Tyndale translated this word as Easter 14 times; esterlambe (Easter Lamb) 11 times; paschall lambe (Passover Lamb) three times; and esterfest (Easter Festival) once.

Tyndale translated the Old Testament after translating the New Testament. 

In working with the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old Testament, he was again faced with this same word, pascha. Inconsistent with his work on the New Testament, he opted for a new word in English, Passover, to be used in all cases in the Old Testament. Passover truly is more accurate, for it is the meaning of the original Hebrew.

The King James Bible

Why did the translators of the King James Bible translate as Passover all 28 other occurrences of pascha in the New Testament except for this one verse, Acts 12:4, where they translated it Easter? Why didn’t they translate it as Passover here too?

Many scholars in researching this puzzling question conclude that it must have been an oversight, and that it would have been changed if it had been caught prior to printing. Nearly every scholar today understands that the early Renewed Covenant (New Testament) Assembly kept the Passover and not the modern holiday observance of Easter.

Albert Barnes wrote in his commentary: “There never was a more absurd or unhappy translation than this. The original is simply after the Passover, meta to pasca [μετα το πάσχα]. The word Easter now denotes the festival observed by many Christian churches in honour of the resurrection of the Saviour. But the original has no reference to that; nor is there the slightest evidence that any such festival was observed at the time when this book was written. 

The translation is not only unhappy, as it does not convey at all the meaning of the original, but because it may contribute to foster an opinion that such a festival was observed in the time of the apostles.

“The word Easter is of Saxon origin, and is supposed to be derived from Eostre, the goddess of love, or the Venus of the North, in honour of whom a festival was celebrated by our pagan ancestors in the month of April (Webster). As this festival coincided with the Passover of the Jews, and with the feast observed by the Netsarim in honour of the resurrection of Messiah, the name came to be used to denote the latter. In the old Anglo-Saxon service-books the term Easter is used frequently to translate the word Passover. In the translation by Wicliffe [Wycliffe], the word paske, i.e., passover, is used. But Tindal [Tyndale] and Coverdale used the word Easter, and hence it has very improperly crept into our [King James Version] translation” (Albert Barnes’ Notes on the Bible, 1798-1870, comments on Acts 12:4).

New King James Version

The New King James Version of the Bible was translated over a period of seven years and was completed in 1982. The publishers wanted to preserve the beauty and literary style of the original King James Version. But the NKJV translators wanted to make necessary corrections in vocabulary and grammar too. They and most other modern translators recognize that “Easter” was an inaccurate translation of pascha in Acts 12:4, and they use the word Passover instead.

Rather than supporting the Christian observance of Easter, Acts 12:4 corroborates the other 28 uses of the word pascha in the New Testament to show us that the early Assembly of YAHUAH observed the Passover. The 29 references cover the span from Messiah’s death through the later writing of the apostle Paul. It is abundantly clear that the New Testament Assembly of YAHUAH observed the Passover—not Easter!

How about you?

Did you know that this was YAHUSHA The Messiah’s teaching and that neither He nor the early Assembly observed Easter? 

Do you know why modern Christianity observes Easter instead of what YAHUSHA did and taught? 

Are you aware of the fact that there are more festivals YAHUAH commanded, which are just as significantly different from modern Christian holidays as Passover is from Easter? The answers might surprise you!

For further study on YAHUAH’s commanded Assemblies, be sure to research “The Plan of Salvation: How YAHUAH’s Set-Apart Days (Feasts) Reveal His Plan.”

Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday

Easter or Ishtar, also known by her Scriptural name Semiramis and later called the “Queen of heaven” was the widow of Nimrod and mother of Tammuz. Easter is the bare breasted pagan fertility goddess of the east. Legend has it that she came out of heaven in a giant egg, landing in the Euphrates river at sunrise on the first Sunday after the vernal equinox, busted out, and turned a bird into an egg laying rabbit.

To honor this event, pagan sun-worshippers would go out early in the morning and face to the east to watch their sun-god arise over the horizon before having a mass (sacrifice) in which the priest of Easter would sacrifice three month old human infants and take the eggs of Easter and die them in the blood of the sacrificed infants. The blood-red colored Easter eggs would later hatch on December 25th, the same day her son Tammuz the reincarnate sun-god would be born…how convenient!

Easter married her son Tammuz who was by legend the reincarnate sun-god. Tammuz went pig hunting and was gored to death by a wild boar and that is why pagans eat ham on Easter. Because Tammuz was killed when he was forty years old, pagans fast one day for each of the years that he lived leading into Easter. This practice is known as Weeping for Tammuz by pagans but called Lent by Catholics. 

SUNDAY SERVICES

Early believers kept Saturday as the Sabbath until March 7, 321 CE when Pope Constantine passed a law requiring believers to worship on Sunday, the day the pagans worshipped the sun-god. Believers still kept Saturday as the Sabbath until another law was passed eleven years later. This law signed into decree by Pope Constantine forbid believers to worship on the Sabbath (Saturday) and it was punishable by death by the Catholic Church. Many believers were burned to death by the Catholic Church for keeping the Sabbath.
