My letters to the editor in my suburban Daily Herald go un published because I keep pointing out that they are just republishing associated press, Washington Post, and New York Times articles that have been designed to push a agenda that hides the truth!
Same where I live. They are only useful for local information and high school sports reporting. And some local human interest stories. I had lunch with the editor a few years ago and asked him to diversify news sources from other points of view. Nothing changed.
I've given up on my local weekly. I only subscribed for the crossword puzzle. They bemoan the discontinuance of the publishing of public notices. They’ve actually sought donations from readers. The sooner it dies the better. It’s a sad tale (the death of local press) but it’s probably inevitable. The subscription money, in my case, is now spent on crossword puzzle books giving a higher cost/benefit ratio.
Church Committee's Reports 94-755, it has been said to constitute the most extensive review of intelligence activities ever made available to the public. Much of the contents were classified, but over 50,000 pages were declassified in 1975. Not much has changed since then., if anything it has gotten worse over time.
The CIA began a secret project called Operation Mockingbird, with the intent of buying influence behind the scenes at major media outlets and putting reporters on the CIA payroll, which has proven to be a stunning ongoing success. The CIA effort to recruit American news organizations and journalists to become spies and disseminators of propaganda, was headed up by Frank Wisner, Allen Dulles, Richard Helms, and Philip Graham (publisher of The Washington Post). Wisner had taken Graham under his wing to direct the program code-named Operation Mockingbird and both have presumably committed suicide.
Media assets will eventually include ABC, NBC, CBS, Time, Newsweek, Associated Press, United Press International (UPI), Reuters, Hearst Newspapers, Scripps-Howard, Copley News Service, etc. and 400 journalists, who have secretly carried out assignments according to documents on file at CIA headquarters, from intelligence-gathering to serving as go-betweens. The CIA had infiltrated the nation's businesses, media, and universities with tens of thousands of on-call operatives by the 1950's. CIA Director Dulles had staffed the CIA almost exclusively with Ivy League graduates, especially from Yale with figures like George Herbert Walker Bush from the "Skull and Crossbones" Society.

The CIA's secret project Mockingbird to wield control over media for political manipulation is still running strong, claims former CIA officer Kevin Shipp.
The ‘shadow government’ is, essentially, the CIA, he says.
“They control Congress... They control the select committees on intelligence, and only give them what they want them to have. They've controlled every single president.”
Additionally, I guess everyone has seen the news that documents were found in the "BURN BAGS" that revealed the email thread of shadow government and that Nikki Flores testified in a congressional hearing about that. It suppressed the information to prevent it from surfacing in Bidens and Trumps briefings. And this has been analyzed by Robert Gouveia and Catherine Herridge on the 'Shadow Government' claims | Katie Pavlich Tonight - How shadow government suppressed China InteL At least someone inside the government was working to secret away the documents in a "secret room" inside the FBI and Intelligence BURN BAGS.
And Natalie Winters has several articles on substack one of which she found that China CCP paid journalists and listed the media outlets.

So, does control of the CIA change with a new government? On the surface it seems as if it does since a new Prez can nominate a new CIA Head but does this individual have any intrinsic power or are, yet again, unseen forces dictating policy to him? At a certain point, this kind of thinking goes down an interminable rabbit hole...
It doesn't. This is the whole truth behind the "deep state." It has insinuated itself into bureaucratic units that are nearly impervious to scrutiny from above or dissent from below. Such units can survive for a very long time.
Most Presidents are pre-selected for us as "choices" that won't upset the apple cart. I think the deep state also helps the Presidents choose who they should make the next agencies directors for the same reasons. President Trump is an outlier one who rarely comes along and gets elected twice against the plans of the deep state. We all see how they have reacted to those wins since Hillary was supposed to win overwhelmingly.
The Council Of Foreign Relations has gained a virtual lock-hold on the U.S. government, regardless of which party is in office. No other organization comes close to boasting the kind of clout that the CFR members have held: eight presidents of the U.S.; seven vice presidents; 17 secretaries of state; 20 secretaries of war/defense; 18 secretaries of the Treasury; 15 directors of the CIA. And it has gone throughout the Cabinets, in seriatim — through Democrat and Republican administrations — with hundreds of deputy secretaries, assistant secretaries, etc.

Appointed positions (e.g. CIA) are largely "cermonial". Even spy novel author Tom Clancy says as much in one of his novels. Trump (and his successors) now have more power to fire bureacrats, but it is at best limited. The Deep State lives on.
I recall they had Peter Jennings host a ABC JFK piece designed to prove the 3 bullet theory.
Reality is the first and second bullet did not hit JFK. First hit a post and a curb, and the second hit the chrome headliner of the windshield. So much for the truth being told.!

1. Immediate Shelving of Executive Order 11110In June 1963, JFK had signed Executive Order 11110, which delegated authority to the Secretary of the Treasury to issue silver certificates against silver bullion in the U.S. Treasury. Immediately following the assassination, the Johnson administration shelved the order's operational usage, moving the country swiftly toward a monetary system completely dominated by Federal Reserve Notes.
2. Immediately following the assassination of John F. Kennedy, President Lyndon B. Johnson fundamentally dialed back JFK's aggressive confrontational pressure on Israel's secret nuclear weapons program.
While JFK had directly threatened to sever diplomatic and financial support if Israel did not agree to strict, independent International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspections at its Dimona nuclear facility, LBJ shifted the U.S. toward a policy of tolerance and protection.
Israeli Restrictions: Prime Minister Levi Eshkol successfully negotiated guidelines that heavily limited the American scientists, restricting them to as little as a single day to scan the facility. This allowed Israel to hide plutonium production from the U.S. visitors.
**********************
The specific division within LAKAM that recruited and managed Jonathan Pollard was Unit 85, an ultra-secret operational cell led directly by veteran spymaster Rafi Eitan.
While LAKAM historically focused on acquiring industrial hardware, Unit 85 was weaponized specifically to extract highly classified, restricted data from the United States government.
LAKAM (an acronym for Lishka Le-Kishrei Mada, or the Bureau of Scientific Relations) was Israel’s most secretive intelligence agency, designed specifically for scientific and technological espionage.
Operating entirely in the shadows from 1957 until its dissolution in 1986, LAKAM bypassed traditional military and Mossad oversight to acquire the illicit hardware, materials, and intelligence needed to build Israel’s nuclear arsenal and advanced defense sector.
So..that means each President for the next 100 years will promise to release all documents on JFK assassination and they will all be told why they can not do it when they are sworn in. Now we have the Epstein files that will never see the light of day! Half of DC would have to resign if we knew the truth about who Epstein compromised. .No? JFK wanted peace on earth.
A more provocative question is "Who controls the CIA?" For Congress, one can gain insights into whom the major contributors are. Of course, anything under the table isn't (easily) visible.

Sorry but no way in hell did that slobbering bat cave inhabitant get 80 million votes. There were repeated reports of Trump votes disappearing for corn sakes. That was the dirtiest election ever
Dr. Malone, this piece names something I've been working on directly. Journalists no longer seeing their worldview as a worldview, that's not just a media problem, it's a formation problem showing up at the institutional level. One of the axes in the citizen capacity framework I'm building measures exactly this, evidence versus emotional narrative, whether a person or institution can still tell the difference between what happened and what they want you to feel about it. Your piece is a clean case study of that axis losing its footing at scale.
More on the framework at ourcivicspress.com if you want to see where I'm taking it.
Love this! 30 years ago when I was writing a commentary on the cultural devolution of musical standards in CHURCH, my secondary title idea was: "I Don't Want Any. I Don't Like It. What Is it?" [Quote from my own childhood regarding FOOD. (I reserve the title option!)]
For the relativist modern, choices too often spring from emotion. That's not a truthful civilizational basis. Not congruent with discerned choices based in REALITY.
We have now 2 generations that don't like or want anything established ,because they have never been bothered to think or build an idea that does anything but reject the tried and true. That is why we live in this uncertain time.
AJ, that's the real diagnosis. Rejecting something as your default costs you nothing. No risk, no thinking, no chance of being wrong. You just say no and walk away clean. Building something that actually holds up is the opposite, it takes work, it takes judgment, and it puts you out there to be proven right or wrong. Two generations raised on rejection as the default were never going to build anything, because saying no never had to answer to results. That's how you end up in an era where nothing solid stands. Tearing down asks nothing of you. Building asks everything.
Dawn, that's a great line and it holds up. "I don't want any, I don't like it, what is it" is the whole problem with relativism in one sentence, rejecting something before you even know what it is, based on nothing but feeling. Keep that title in your back pocket, it's too good not to use eventually.
ourcivicspress is great. Love your Roots and Branch conception. Specifics of 'formation' through environment; what is learned.
I've always postulated: EVERYONE HAS a theology; a worldview. Most have no idea what it is, how it formed, why, or what difference it makes. Much easier to go along; react on feelings, instinct. Even when pursuing valiant causes, professions. Then there's that Hallmark mantra, 'Follow you heart.' (sometimes that MAY imply a conscience. Mostly just the feels.) Human default is comfort; or power. Thank God, we are made for higher graces and virtues.
I also believe that EVERYONE has a religion. One reason you see journalists, academics and some in the medical profession getting so angry about being questioned regarding specific beliefs is that they are not willing to give consideration to another worldview other than theirs. And they delude themselves into thinking that they do not have a religion. Even atheism is a religion (at least as Ian G. Barbour would insinuate). Please check out "Issues In Science and Religion" and other such writings if you are interested.
The God-sized hole that must be filled. The yearning for something--what is it? But that yearning must be followed, and many (most?) people have no idea that they're trying to fill that innate need. No matter what they profess, a person's god is whatever they always put first.
It seems to me that postmodernism permeates everything in academia and bleeds all over journalism instruction so heavily that they drown in it. Just like Kennedy told Bash, she only knows what she has been told. Somebody else decides what the current truth is. The skepticism that is supposed to be part of postmodernism is mostly navel gazing with humans saying what is what within tribes.
Laura, thanks for the Barbour reference. Your point lands, everyone operates from some framework of belief, whether they name it a religion or not. That's actually close to something I've been wrestling with in my own work on how people form their moral judgments. I'll check out the book.
Dawn, this is exactly right and it's said better than most people manage in a whole essay. Everyone's operating off some worldview whether they've ever looked at it or not. Most never do. Easier to just go with the feels and call it a conscience. You nailed the real problem, comfort and power are the default settings, and it takes real work to want something higher than that. Appreciate you putting it this way.
I was about to propose to my Deacon, who had been writing a series of catechetical bulletin columns, to, next, do something on Rerum Novarum (Leo XIII encyclical on capital & labor - a bit in the 'conversation' lately. RN denounces socialism, by the way) just when he announced he's phasing that out toward retirement. My idea did lead to a most productive conversation, and even proposal, to have a discussion (study?) on the PRINCIPLES upon which our nation and really our Western Civilization is founded. SO, we're working on that.
Your work fits exactly, but then goes to the most important application aspect. Look forward to the book(s). The survey questions were amazing.
Dawn, thank you so much for this. I cannot tell you how encouraging it is to hear that the work may contribute to the kind of discussion you and your Deacon are considering. That conversation about first principles, and particularly the principles necessary to sustain self-government, is very much at the heart of what I have been working on.
I should also mention that Book Two, Roots Before Branches, includes a Facilitator Notes chapter specifically designed to help someone lead a group discussion or study around these ideas. So if you and your Deacon decide to pursue this, there is already a framework there to help.
And your comment about the survey questions particularly caught my attention because I haven't told you what I'm building from them. They are becoming part of a much larger project, a Citizen Formation Inventory designed to help people discover how they have actually been formed across the underlying dimensions necessary for self-government. The idea is not to tell people what they should think or which political positions they should hold, but to give them a way to see their own formation patterns and then begin strengthening the capacities that self-government requires.
That is ultimately where all three books are headed. Not simply toward diagnosing what has happened to the republic, but toward the much harder question: What do we do about it?
So your response to those questions was especially meaningful to me. Thank you, Dawn. And I would genuinely love to hear where the conversation with your Deacon leads.
Truly a serendipity. I have your email through the website, so that's great.... I'll try to print out some of these details - & direct to website - even before your books arrive. NOT re-inventing 'the wheel' is always good. Your work is so valuable. PS. Our current Gov (OK) candidate's father sings in choir at church with me. He's retired Navy too. Two of my own sons are Marines.
Dawn, reach out anytime. I'd love to keep having these conversations. And small world, I live in Fallbrook, right next to Camp Pendleton, so I've got a lot of Marine friends and neighbors myself. Semper Fi to your sons, and thank you for their service. Please pass along my thanks to your gubernatorial candidate's father for his Navy service too. I'm truly grateful this work is resonating with you and I'm looking forward to where the conversation with your Deacon goes.
Laura, that means a lot. Honestly the willingness to check it out is the whole ballgame. Franklin said we had a republic, if we can keep it. He knew the founders could only build the structure. The keeping part was always going to fall on the people themselves. That's what this work is really asking. Are we willing to look at our own formation? Book one wakes you up to the question. Book two shows you how we got here. Book three hands you the mirror. But none of it works on someone who isn't willing to look. So thank you for being willing.
You know, it's really awful. We can't trust our federal government. We can't trust our local governments. We can't trust our news people. We can't trust our doctors. We can't trust our medicine. We can't trust our schools. We can't trust our banks (they might not like a post)....
We find we CAN trust certain people (truth tellers) on X or Facebook...and that sounds absolutely insane! But that trust only came after following someone long enough that they've earned that trust - and still we keep an eye out for anything that might destroy that trust.... It's a heavy burden on the trusted.
And I NEVER would've thought one day I'd say "I trust Russell Brand." 😲
The world is upside down.
Yet....Democrat voters still fully believe and trust all those sources and institutions. That's scary.
I trust my doctor. He is concierge only and promoted what Dr Malone promoted long before I heard Dr Malone’s name. In august 2020, my doctor said to NEVER take a Covid vaccine. And take high zinc , vitamin C, Ivermectin , and Hydroxychloriquin . Also, to never wear a mask because they will contaminate me, and never worry about distancing. As for AI sources of news, we will take it one step at a time until truthful ones appear. They may be new names.
My PCP was willing to prescribe ivermectin very early on when I asked for it, we were traveling out of the country and I asked for it in hopes of preventing a foreign hospital/doc visit if we caught anything, It was nowhere near the actual recommended dosages but at least he was willing. Much later on my husband's PCP (chief doc of same practice) and I talked about it for a bit, he said he never had an issue with prescribing it but finding a pharmacy to fill it was their problem. He later told me he took it himself when he got covid. I then told him I had ordered a quantity of it from India.
I still don't trust them fully because they are pushing atorvastatin on both of us and in my case a sort of highish BP and medicine to reduce (neither of which I will take).... so by and large they still follow CDC/Big Med guidelines.
My concierge doctor showed me how to buy it in India from the manufacturer directly thru the internet. Buying in the US was sketchy and expensive. Buying direct from India was cheap and easy. No markings on the shipping box, just plain. These were standard pills with English language info. Dosage is based on your weight and I needed 18 mg, 1 1/2 tabs so I used a pill splitter. Now I have hundreds of them. I take many pills each day for several health reasons. At some point you need to trust. Robert Kennedy, Jr is trying to improve health for Americans. Changing habits is difficult for most people.
India and many other nations used Ivermectin and Hydroxychloriquin because they were cheap, effective, and safe. They were not suckered by that evil dwarf Fauci.
But there's plenty of evidence the 2020 election had significant ballot fraud. There's less proof, except for the several convictions we see wherein joe or josephine shmoe were convicted of registering multiple people they shouldn't have, submitted ballots they shouldn't have, etc. There are still occasional convictions being announced for these activities years ago. "Justice" moves slowly, by design. There were many anecdotes of large piles of ballots piling up in apartment building lobbies; people setting up cameras watching unmanned ballot drop boxes showing multiple people visiting the box with many ballots each time. And we won't even mention the supposed "sudden jump" in plugs' vote count in the middle of election night - much like kalifornia elections once they figure out how many votes they need to squeak in their preferred candidate.
Many states completely abrogated their election laws to "keep people safe" during during the COVID hysteria, allowing widespread mail-in voting, drop box placement, etc., directly in violation of their election laws. Georgia is a prime example, but certainly not the only one. Most jurisdictions, as I understand, refused to do anything about these issues before hand, "because we have to keep people safe." Then, after the fact, they say, "we can't change the election now."
Lots of evidence, but less hard proof - by design.
Due to the irregularity of this current 2020 Presidential Election, this is a crowdsourcing tool for organizing anomalies and legal issues. Our desire is that more of the election process would be made transparent so there would be unquestionable confidence in our voting systems.
This is for aggregating publicly available items of evidence that would be admissible in court, not general election news stories or updates.
2,036,041 Ballots Touched By Anomalies - 923 Fact Witnesses - 50+ Courts Blocked An Evidentiary Hearing - GOP plaintiff prevailed on 14 of the 21 cases decided on the merits.
A fantastic piece on the machine that controls what we are allowed to know. You two are truly a dynamic duo, and I can’t comprehend how you can produce the volume of quality work you consistently pump out.
Maybe you can go on CNN/MSNOW and explain this to the people still hypnotized into thinking inflation is running at 3%. Call Dana Bash I hear she’s as open to alternate viewpoints as Brian Seltzer, Don, Chris, Wolf, etc..
I was disappointed to hear Rahm Emmanuel, a supposed "moderate" Democrat, repeat everything you warned against. His defense of the quarantine on the AfD was breathtaking in its brazenness, "The German security agency has called the AfD a threat to democracy"! QED, as they say.
It has been a very long time since I was a university student; but, even then it was apparent around the world that universities were the breeding grounds for communism (just a particular version of socialism).
Before I even finish the article, I want to direct readers to the "Malone Media" portion of Malone News. there is another malone- media.com, Not that one. I listened to an hour interview with Daniel Horowitz. malonebroadcasting.com Now I know where to go for the latest news and interviews! Talk about journalism...
Daniel Horowitz was a tour de force. First on the dark side, then, when he saw the light, equally powerful, but now to speak truth. It's usually those who have SEEN the atrocities - the FALSE - who have such clarity. Paul. Solzhenitzyn. CS Lewis. Ayan Hirsi Ali. SO many.... Thankfully!!
As a retired RN, I questioned chiropractic but recent years finds me changing to the above named by Joy Metcalf. Never thought I would ever question conventional medicine! That’s how we lived and thought. Not now. Drs. Malone, I having nothing to add to this wonderful open discussion but thank you so much for all the time you two spend putting it together. I do have one insight from the adults around me (when I was young with my ears listening) in my fair state when newspapers were a real thing. Coming from the same printing press or whatever they used, the morning and evening papers were considered liberal or conservative! Everyone knew that’s what they would get unless it was the sports section! Then there were Two opposing football teams to choose from. I never followed them but it was a big deal here in my fair state. I have no clue what the papers are doing now. I want true Malone journalism and that good lawyer from Florida C&C News. Then there is one more I really like. So sad this Covid debacle didn’t wake everyone up! Hello! Thank you everyone for expressing your viewpoints. May we learn there is a final authority who indeed still rules the world. He loves us so much that He gave! Closer to 80 than 70🤔!
Excellent… a truism of a piece of prose if ever there was, there is and this piece is it… a reference for anyone who genuinely wishes to understand what has happened to a once free unbiased non prejudiced mainstream press…
Many of us going back to the early 90’s realised and lived the fact our press freedoms had dramatically altered, continued to fall into a malaise, mired in bias, partisanship, non balanced reporting, we bemoaned the loss of such, began to research more, to look into issues more deeply in order to sate our own hunger for truth, for balance, no longer able to trust a mainstream media once so heavily relied and depended upon to be arbiters of truth, of balance, of being the true fourth estate..
Clinton and the DNC controlled Congress are responsible for the decline we now live with have endured ever since a decline that has resulted and led to U.S media once owned literally by hundreds of corporations and individuals now controlled and doing the bidding, promoting the ideologies of only a handful of owners..
[The Telecommunications Act of 1996 is a United States federal law enacted by the 104th United States Congress on January 3, 1996, and signed into law on February 8, 1996, by President Bill Clinton. It primarily amended Chapter 5 of Title 47 of the United States Code. Heavily supported and lobbied for by major corporations in the telecommunications sector, the act was the first significant overhaul of United States telecommunications law in more than sixty years. It amended the Communications Act of 1934, and represented a major change in that law….Wikipedia]
Unfortunately and as we know what occasions the U.S is dutifully replicated the World over, media changed and followed suit in many Western jurisdictions the same changes made, the impact no different, almost as if a web had been spun and media the world over were caught up in the same, here in New Zealand our media became part of conglomerates no one had heard of, the content and style changed, our once truly free press replaced with a media that has become agencies for their larger international overlords.. no longer challenging government, presenting balanced arguments, you’ll recall the same, you’d watch a news item, well researched, that presented both sides with the same diligence to accuracy, the reporting neutral, the job of the journalists and editors to present the facts in a balanced fair process and allow the viewer as Malone so clearly writes to then reflect and determine their own position, to form their own opinion, to reach their own conclusion, entering the debates as required.. never from a shaped or pre determined perspective, nope, from your own.. oh, how those were the good ol days.. I have long opined anyone wanting to truly own international media would turn back the clock and rebuild such, the subscriptions and viewership would be off of the charts, such is the insatiable hunger for truth… alas, those who control media presently have done all they can politically to shut that door, making it extremely expensive and requiring someone with abyss deep pockets to achieve and rebuild such a network… one day I’m sure it will happen.. albeit A.I will be the biggest impediment, the LLM’s we know, all constrained by the will of the programmers, the owners, the data they rely on, data sets that are shared will be the new arbiters of fact, of truth, in my view A.I as much as it will be beneficial… will also be an impediment to truth…resulting the prejudices and biases of the developer, the corporate owner and the views and priorities of the owner that as we know have an outsized influence upon the LLM and resulting data, hence….the job of ensuring we have unmitigated truths, facts from which a reliable perspective can be formed is going to get harder, much more difficult.. and we thought A.I was going to be a panacea… prepare accordingly I say.
The trick is to find A.I that you can rely implicitly upon, that you can Trust.. GAB is one found to be as close to neutral as there can be there are others… for example when using DeepSeek. I found that it is better at completing certain tasks. Each tool is better at undertaking different things: Gemini is better at image generation. Grok is better at handling episodes with controversial content. It’s widely held that Grok “doesn’t have as many guardrails, so if you’re doing something that needs fewer guardrails, maybe use Grok.” Claude is good at generating bullet points to go in the description, and ChatGPT and Gemini are tied for true SEO optimization and suggesting the best hashtags. However the very best I believe has come out of China, fear not the malicious and pernicious rumour and fearmongering by Western providers with ulterior motives endeavouring to detract from use of China’s great models.. if it’s good enough for many of the U.S and now Wests top tech companies and Corporates, Microsoft amongst them to use Chinese A.I, doing so at a fraction of cost charged U.S providers it’s good enough for me… just saying
Powerful clips of Lebanon's Political Advisor told Chatham House exposing Kissinger's schemes and the impacts over the last FIFTY years!! among other insightful analysis.....

******************************
The CIA's secret project Mockingbird to wield control over media for political manipulation is still running strong, claims former CIA officer Kevin Shipp.
The ‘shadow government’ is, essentially, the CIA, he says.
“They control Congress... They control the select committees on intelligence, and only give them what they want them to have. They've controlled every single president.”

Thanks for bringing this up, I almost added it to the article, but felt like it was diluting what I was trying to write about advocacy journalism
Advocacy journalism in the mass media is non-existent! For the time being it is on substack!
What?? The mass media IS advocacy journalism! The whole point is that journalism should report, not advocate.
What has often been described by El Gato Malo as "people who are their ideas, not people who have ideas."
I want to be a advocate for the truth!
And that's what they'll tell you they're doing.
Additionally, I guess everyone has seen the news that documents were found in the "BURN BAGS" that revealed the email thread of shadow government and that Nikki Flores testified in a congressional hearing about that. It suppressed the information to prevent it from surfacing in Bidens and Trumps briefings. And this has been analyzed by Robert Gouveia and Catherine Herridge on the 'Shadow Government' claims | Katie Pavlich Tonight - How shadow government suppressed China InteL At least someone inside the government was working to secret away the documents in a "secret room" inside the FBI and Intelligence BURN BAGS.
And Natalie Winters has several articles on substack one of which she found that China CCP paid journalists and listed the media outlets.

So, does control of the CIA change with a new government? On the surface it seems as if it does since a new Prez can nominate a new CIA Head but does this individual have any intrinsic power or are, yet again, unseen forces dictating policy to him? At a certain point, this kind of thinking goes down an interminable rabbit hole...
It doesn't. This is the whole truth behind the "deep state." It has insinuated itself into bureaucratic units that are nearly impervious to scrutiny from above or dissent from below. Such units can survive for a very long time.
Most Presidents are pre-selected for us as "choices" that won't upset the apple cart. I think the deep state also helps the Presidents choose who they should make the next agencies directors for the same reasons. President Trump is an outlier one who rarely comes along and gets elected twice against the plans of the deep state. We all see how they have reacted to those wins since Hillary was supposed to win overwhelmingly.
It would seem to me that an organization created to lie to everyone is incompatible with any true democratic government.
The Council Of Foreign Relations has gained a virtual lock-hold on the U.S. government, regardless of which party is in office. No other organization comes close to boasting the kind of clout that the CFR members have held: eight presidents of the U.S.; seven vice presidents; 17 secretaries of state; 20 secretaries of war/defense; 18 secretaries of the Treasury; 15 directors of the CIA. And it has gone throughout the Cabinets, in seriatim — through Democrat and Republican administrations — with hundreds of deputy secretaries, assistant secretaries, etc.

The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) - the American leg of the European Round table Group.
British-based secret society called The Round Table.
These include the Bilderberg Group,
the Royal Institute of International Affairs,
the Council on Foreign Relations,
the Trilateral Commission, WEF
and the Club of Rome.
This NGO, founded in 1921, and bankrolled with globalist's money from the Rockefeller Foundation and J. P. Morgan among other internationalists, has been dedicated since its inception to dismantling American sovereignty, and our Bill of Rights, and promoting the idea of One World Government!
Appointed positions (e.g. CIA) are largely "cermonial". Even spy novel author Tom Clancy says as much in one of his novels. Trump (and his successors) now have more power to fire bureacrats, but it is at best limited. The Deep State lives on.
I recall they had Peter Jennings host a ABC JFK piece designed to prove the 3 bullet theory.
Reality is the first and second bullet did not hit JFK. First hit a post and a curb, and the second hit the chrome headliner of the windshield. So much for the truth being told.!
The next three bullets did the damage.
Yes, prominent long-time ABC News anchor Peter Jennings was widely cited in media analyses and membership rosters as a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, alongside other prominent network news figures of the era like Dan Rather and Tom Brokaw.

Explains why the mass media is massaging the news.
1. Immediate Shelving of Executive Order 11110In June 1963, JFK had signed Executive Order 11110, which delegated authority to the Secretary of the Treasury to issue silver certificates against silver bullion in the U.S. Treasury. Immediately following the assassination, the Johnson administration shelved the order's operational usage, moving the country swiftly toward a monetary system completely dominated by Federal Reserve Notes.
2. Immediately following the assassination of John F. Kennedy, President Lyndon B. Johnson fundamentally dialed back JFK's aggressive confrontational pressure on Israel's secret nuclear weapons program.
While JFK had directly threatened to sever diplomatic and financial support if Israel did not agree to strict, independent International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspections at its Dimona nuclear facility, LBJ shifted the U.S. toward a policy of tolerance and protection.
Israeli Restrictions: Prime Minister Levi Eshkol successfully negotiated guidelines that heavily limited the American scientists, restricting them to as little as a single day to scan the facility. This allowed Israel to hide plutonium production from the U.S. visitors.
**********************
The specific division within LAKAM that recruited and managed Jonathan Pollard was Unit 85, an ultra-secret operational cell led directly by veteran spymaster Rafi Eitan.
While LAKAM historically focused on acquiring industrial hardware, Unit 85 was weaponized specifically to extract highly classified, restricted data from the United States government.
LAKAM (an acronym for Lishka Le-Kishrei Mada, or the Bureau of Scientific Relations) was Israel’s most secretive intelligence agency, designed specifically for scientific and technological espionage.
Operating entirely in the shadows from 1957 until its dissolution in 1986, LAKAM bypassed traditional military and Mossad oversight to acquire the illicit hardware, materials, and intelligence needed to build Israel’s nuclear arsenal and advanced defense sector.
So..that means each President for the next 100 years will promise to release all documents on JFK assassination and they will all be told why they can not do it when they are sworn in. Now we have the Epstein files that will never see the light of day! Half of DC would have to resign if we knew the truth about who Epstein compromised. .No? JFK wanted peace on earth.
Yes, I would say the appears to be the future coarse of action that will be used to blackmail those who are not cooperative.
A more provocative question is "Who controls the CIA?" For Congress, one can gain insights into whom the major contributors are. Of course, anything under the table isn't (easily) visible.
The Council Of Foreign Relations has gained a virtual lock-hold on the U.S. government, regardless of which party is in office.

Sorry but no way in hell did that slobbering bat cave inhabitant get 80 million votes. There were repeated reports of Trump votes disappearing for corn sakes. That was the dirtiest election ever
Dr. Malone, this piece names something I've been working on directly. Journalists no longer seeing their worldview as a worldview, that's not just a media problem, it's a formation problem showing up at the institutional level. One of the axes in the citizen capacity framework I'm building measures exactly this, evidence versus emotional narrative, whether a person or institution can still tell the difference between what happened and what they want you to feel about it. Your piece is a clean case study of that axis losing its footing at scale.
More on the framework at ourcivicspress.com if you want to see where I'm taking it.
Love this! 30 years ago when I was writing a commentary on the cultural devolution of musical standards in CHURCH, my secondary title idea was: "I Don't Want Any. I Don't Like It. What Is it?" [Quote from my own childhood regarding FOOD. (I reserve the title option!)]
For the relativist modern, choices too often spring from emotion. That's not a truthful civilizational basis. Not congruent with discerned choices based in REALITY.
We have now 2 generations that don't like or want anything established ,because they have never been bothered to think or build an idea that does anything but reject the tried and true. That is why we live in this uncertain time.
AJ, that's the real diagnosis. Rejecting something as your default costs you nothing. No risk, no thinking, no chance of being wrong. You just say no and walk away clean. Building something that actually holds up is the opposite, it takes work, it takes judgment, and it puts you out there to be proven right or wrong. Two generations raised on rejection as the default were never going to build anything, because saying no never had to answer to results. That's how you end up in an era where nothing solid stands. Tearing down asks nothing of you. Building asks everything.
Dawn, that's a great line and it holds up. "I don't want any, I don't like it, what is it" is the whole problem with relativism in one sentence, rejecting something before you even know what it is, based on nothing but feeling. Keep that title in your back pocket, it's too good not to use eventually.
Thanks.
ourcivicspress is great. Love your Roots and Branch conception. Specifics of 'formation' through environment; what is learned.
I've always postulated: EVERYONE HAS a theology; a worldview. Most have no idea what it is, how it formed, why, or what difference it makes. Much easier to go along; react on feelings, instinct. Even when pursuing valiant causes, professions. Then there's that Hallmark mantra, 'Follow you heart.' (sometimes that MAY imply a conscience. Mostly just the feels.) Human default is comfort; or power. Thank God, we are made for higher graces and virtues.
I also believe that EVERYONE has a religion. One reason you see journalists, academics and some in the medical profession getting so angry about being questioned regarding specific beliefs is that they are not willing to give consideration to another worldview other than theirs. And they delude themselves into thinking that they do not have a religion. Even atheism is a religion (at least as Ian G. Barbour would insinuate). Please check out "Issues In Science and Religion" and other such writings if you are interested.
The God-sized hole that must be filled. The yearning for something--what is it? But that yearning must be followed, and many (most?) people have no idea that they're trying to fill that innate need. No matter what they profess, a person's god is whatever they always put first.
It seems to me that postmodernism permeates everything in academia and bleeds all over journalism instruction so heavily that they drown in it. Just like Kennedy told Bash, she only knows what she has been told. Somebody else decides what the current truth is. The skepticism that is supposed to be part of postmodernism is mostly navel gazing with humans saying what is what within tribes.
Laura, thanks for the Barbour reference. Your point lands, everyone operates from some framework of belief, whether they name it a religion or not. That's actually close to something I've been wrestling with in my own work on how people form their moral judgments. I'll check out the book.
Postmodernism bred with Scientism and produced... what? Certainly authoritarianism. Which always sticks around as part of the human condition.
Dawn, this is exactly right and it's said better than most people manage in a whole essay. Everyone's operating off some worldview whether they've ever looked at it or not. Most never do. Easier to just go with the feels and call it a conscience. You nailed the real problem, comfort and power are the default settings, and it takes real work to want something higher than that. Appreciate you putting it this way.
I was about to propose to my Deacon, who had been writing a series of catechetical bulletin columns, to, next, do something on Rerum Novarum (Leo XIII encyclical on capital & labor - a bit in the 'conversation' lately. RN denounces socialism, by the way) just when he announced he's phasing that out toward retirement. My idea did lead to a most productive conversation, and even proposal, to have a discussion (study?) on the PRINCIPLES upon which our nation and really our Western Civilization is founded. SO, we're working on that.
Your work fits exactly, but then goes to the most important application aspect. Look forward to the book(s). The survey questions were amazing.
Dawn, thank you so much for this. I cannot tell you how encouraging it is to hear that the work may contribute to the kind of discussion you and your Deacon are considering. That conversation about first principles, and particularly the principles necessary to sustain self-government, is very much at the heart of what I have been working on.
I should also mention that Book Two, Roots Before Branches, includes a Facilitator Notes chapter specifically designed to help someone lead a group discussion or study around these ideas. So if you and your Deacon decide to pursue this, there is already a framework there to help.
And your comment about the survey questions particularly caught my attention because I haven't told you what I'm building from them. They are becoming part of a much larger project, a Citizen Formation Inventory designed to help people discover how they have actually been formed across the underlying dimensions necessary for self-government. The idea is not to tell people what they should think or which political positions they should hold, but to give them a way to see their own formation patterns and then begin strengthening the capacities that self-government requires.
That is ultimately where all three books are headed. Not simply toward diagnosing what has happened to the republic, but toward the much harder question: What do we do about it?
So your response to those questions was especially meaningful to me. Thank you, Dawn. And I would genuinely love to hear where the conversation with your Deacon leads.
Truly a serendipity. I have your email through the website, so that's great.... I'll try to print out some of these details - & direct to website - even before your books arrive. NOT re-inventing 'the wheel' is always good. Your work is so valuable. PS. Our current Gov (OK) candidate's father sings in choir at church with me. He's retired Navy too. Two of my own sons are Marines.
Dawn, reach out anytime. I'd love to keep having these conversations. And small world, I live in Fallbrook, right next to Camp Pendleton, so I've got a lot of Marine friends and neighbors myself. Semper Fi to your sons, and thank you for their service. Please pass along my thanks to your gubernatorial candidate's father for his Navy service too. I'm truly grateful this work is resonating with you and I'm looking forward to where the conversation with your Deacon goes.
Very interesting! I'm going to check out the assessment when I get a chance.
Laura, that means a lot. Honestly the willingness to check it out is the whole ballgame. Franklin said we had a republic, if we can keep it. He knew the founders could only build the structure. The keeping part was always going to fall on the people themselves. That's what this work is really asking. Are we willing to look at our own formation? Book one wakes you up to the question. Book two shows you how we got here. Book three hands you the mirror. But none of it works on someone who isn't willing to look. So thank you for being willing.
Never hire a reporter who has a university journalism degree.
You know, it's really awful. We can't trust our federal government. We can't trust our local governments. We can't trust our news people. We can't trust our doctors. We can't trust our medicine. We can't trust our schools. We can't trust our banks (they might not like a post)....
We find we CAN trust certain people (truth tellers) on X or Facebook...and that sounds absolutely insane! But that trust only came after following someone long enough that they've earned that trust - and still we keep an eye out for anything that might destroy that trust.... It's a heavy burden on the trusted.
And I NEVER would've thought one day I'd say "I trust Russell Brand." 😲
The world is upside down.
Yet....Democrat voters still fully believe and trust all those sources and institutions. That's scary.
I trust my doctor. He is concierge only and promoted what Dr Malone promoted long before I heard Dr Malone’s name. In august 2020, my doctor said to NEVER take a Covid vaccine. And take high zinc , vitamin C, Ivermectin , and Hydroxychloriquin . Also, to never wear a mask because they will contaminate me, and never worry about distancing. As for AI sources of news, we will take it one step at a time until truthful ones appear. They may be new names.
My PCP was willing to prescribe ivermectin very early on when I asked for it, we were traveling out of the country and I asked for it in hopes of preventing a foreign hospital/doc visit if we caught anything, It was nowhere near the actual recommended dosages but at least he was willing. Much later on my husband's PCP (chief doc of same practice) and I talked about it for a bit, he said he never had an issue with prescribing it but finding a pharmacy to fill it was their problem. He later told me he took it himself when he got covid. I then told him I had ordered a quantity of it from India.
I still don't trust them fully because they are pushing atorvastatin on both of us and in my case a sort of highish BP and medicine to reduce (neither of which I will take).... so by and large they still follow CDC/Big Med guidelines.
My concierge doctor showed me how to buy it in India from the manufacturer directly thru the internet. Buying in the US was sketchy and expensive. Buying direct from India was cheap and easy. No markings on the shipping box, just plain. These were standard pills with English language info. Dosage is based on your weight and I needed 18 mg, 1 1/2 tabs so I used a pill splitter. Now I have hundreds of them. I take many pills each day for several health reasons. At some point you need to trust. Robert Kennedy, Jr is trying to improve health for Americans. Changing habits is difficult for most people.
India and many other nations used Ivermectin and Hydroxychloriquin because they were cheap, effective, and safe. They were not suckered by that evil dwarf Fauci.
Very well written and quite accurate! Thankfully we've got a few true Journalists that get down into the trench's. May more decide to take this route.
Great article.
But there's plenty of evidence the 2020 election had significant ballot fraud. There's less proof, except for the several convictions we see wherein joe or josephine shmoe were convicted of registering multiple people they shouldn't have, submitted ballots they shouldn't have, etc. There are still occasional convictions being announced for these activities years ago. "Justice" moves slowly, by design. There were many anecdotes of large piles of ballots piling up in apartment building lobbies; people setting up cameras watching unmanned ballot drop boxes showing multiple people visiting the box with many ballots each time. And we won't even mention the supposed "sudden jump" in plugs' vote count in the middle of election night - much like kalifornia elections once they figure out how many votes they need to squeak in their preferred candidate.
Many states completely abrogated their election laws to "keep people safe" during during the COVID hysteria, allowing widespread mail-in voting, drop box placement, etc., directly in violation of their election laws. Georgia is a prime example, but certainly not the only one. Most jurisdictions, as I understand, refused to do anything about these issues before hand, "because we have to keep people safe." Then, after the fact, they say, "we can't change the election now."
Lots of evidence, but less hard proof - by design.

Due to the irregularity of this current 2020 Presidential Election, this is a crowdsourcing tool for organizing anomalies and legal issues. Our desire is that more of the election process would be made transparent so there would be unquestionable confidence in our voting systems.
This is for aggregating publicly available items of evidence that would be admissible in court, not general election news stories or updates.
2,036,041 Ballots Touched By Anomalies - 923 Fact Witnesses - 50+ Courts Blocked An Evidentiary Hearing - GOP plaintiff prevailed on 14 of the 21 cases decided on the merits.
A fantastic piece on the machine that controls what we are allowed to know. You two are truly a dynamic duo, and I can’t comprehend how you can produce the volume of quality work you consistently pump out.
Maybe you can go on CNN/MSNOW and explain this to the people still hypnotized into thinking inflation is running at 3%. Call Dana Bash I hear she’s as open to alternate viewpoints as Brian Seltzer, Don, Chris, Wolf, etc..
I was disappointed to hear Rahm Emmanuel, a supposed "moderate" Democrat, repeat everything you warned against. His defense of the quarantine on the AfD was breathtaking in its brazenness, "The German security agency has called the AfD a threat to democracy"! QED, as they say.
There are no moderate Democrats anymore.
Have not been for many decades. First taken over by progressives and now by communists calling themselves SDs
It has been a very long time since I was a university student; but, even then it was apparent around the world that universities were the breeding grounds for communism (just a particular version of socialism).
Before I even finish the article, I want to direct readers to the "Malone Media" portion of Malone News. there is another malone- media.com, Not that one. I listened to an hour interview with Daniel Horowitz. malonebroadcasting.com Now I know where to go for the latest news and interviews! Talk about journalism...
Daniel Horowitz was a tour de force. First on the dark side, then, when he saw the light, equally powerful, but now to speak truth. It's usually those who have SEEN the atrocities - the FALSE - who have such clarity. Paul. Solzhenitzyn. CS Lewis. Ayan Hirsi Ali. SO many.... Thankfully!!
The PSYOP has indeed been long and thorough. But, I love how you TRACE the progression.
“Advocacy disappears by being reclassified as morality.”
Yes! And then all the lemmings walk right off the cliff. It’s a really sad story…
How many self-proclaimed moderates and independents will go along with whatever the left tells them?
As a retired RN, I questioned chiropractic but recent years finds me changing to the above named by Joy Metcalf. Never thought I would ever question conventional medicine! That’s how we lived and thought. Not now. Drs. Malone, I having nothing to add to this wonderful open discussion but thank you so much for all the time you two spend putting it together. I do have one insight from the adults around me (when I was young with my ears listening) in my fair state when newspapers were a real thing. Coming from the same printing press or whatever they used, the morning and evening papers were considered liberal or conservative! Everyone knew that’s what they would get unless it was the sports section! Then there were Two opposing football teams to choose from. I never followed them but it was a big deal here in my fair state. I have no clue what the papers are doing now. I want true Malone journalism and that good lawyer from Florida C&C News. Then there is one more I really like. So sad this Covid debacle didn’t wake everyone up! Hello! Thank you everyone for expressing your viewpoints. May we learn there is a final authority who indeed still rules the world. He loves us so much that He gave! Closer to 80 than 70🤔!
Excellent… a truism of a piece of prose if ever there was, there is and this piece is it… a reference for anyone who genuinely wishes to understand what has happened to a once free unbiased non prejudiced mainstream press…
Many of us going back to the early 90’s realised and lived the fact our press freedoms had dramatically altered, continued to fall into a malaise, mired in bias, partisanship, non balanced reporting, we bemoaned the loss of such, began to research more, to look into issues more deeply in order to sate our own hunger for truth, for balance, no longer able to trust a mainstream media once so heavily relied and depended upon to be arbiters of truth, of balance, of being the true fourth estate..
Clinton and the DNC controlled Congress are responsible for the decline we now live with have endured ever since a decline that has resulted and led to U.S media once owned literally by hundreds of corporations and individuals now controlled and doing the bidding, promoting the ideologies of only a handful of owners..
[The Telecommunications Act of 1996 is a United States federal law enacted by the 104th United States Congress on January 3, 1996, and signed into law on February 8, 1996, by President Bill Clinton. It primarily amended Chapter 5 of Title 47 of the United States Code. Heavily supported and lobbied for by major corporations in the telecommunications sector, the act was the first significant overhaul of United States telecommunications law in more than sixty years. It amended the Communications Act of 1934, and represented a major change in that law….Wikipedia]
Unfortunately and as we know what occasions the U.S is dutifully replicated the World over, media changed and followed suit in many Western jurisdictions the same changes made, the impact no different, almost as if a web had been spun and media the world over were caught up in the same, here in New Zealand our media became part of conglomerates no one had heard of, the content and style changed, our once truly free press replaced with a media that has become agencies for their larger international overlords.. no longer challenging government, presenting balanced arguments, you’ll recall the same, you’d watch a news item, well researched, that presented both sides with the same diligence to accuracy, the reporting neutral, the job of the journalists and editors to present the facts in a balanced fair process and allow the viewer as Malone so clearly writes to then reflect and determine their own position, to form their own opinion, to reach their own conclusion, entering the debates as required.. never from a shaped or pre determined perspective, nope, from your own.. oh, how those were the good ol days.. I have long opined anyone wanting to truly own international media would turn back the clock and rebuild such, the subscriptions and viewership would be off of the charts, such is the insatiable hunger for truth… alas, those who control media presently have done all they can politically to shut that door, making it extremely expensive and requiring someone with abyss deep pockets to achieve and rebuild such a network… one day I’m sure it will happen.. albeit A.I will be the biggest impediment, the LLM’s we know, all constrained by the will of the programmers, the owners, the data they rely on, data sets that are shared will be the new arbiters of fact, of truth, in my view A.I as much as it will be beneficial… will also be an impediment to truth…resulting the prejudices and biases of the developer, the corporate owner and the views and priorities of the owner that as we know have an outsized influence upon the LLM and resulting data, hence….the job of ensuring we have unmitigated truths, facts from which a reliable perspective can be formed is going to get harder, much more difficult.. and we thought A.I was going to be a panacea… prepare accordingly I say.
The trick is to find A.I that you can rely implicitly upon, that you can Trust.. GAB is one found to be as close to neutral as there can be there are others… for example when using DeepSeek. I found that it is better at completing certain tasks. Each tool is better at undertaking different things: Gemini is better at image generation. Grok is better at handling episodes with controversial content. It’s widely held that Grok “doesn’t have as many guardrails, so if you’re doing something that needs fewer guardrails, maybe use Grok.” Claude is good at generating bullet points to go in the description, and ChatGPT and Gemini are tied for true SEO optimization and suggesting the best hashtags. However the very best I believe has come out of China, fear not the malicious and pernicious rumour and fearmongering by Western providers with ulterior motives endeavouring to detract from use of China’s great models.. if it’s good enough for many of the U.S and now Wests top tech companies and Corporates, Microsoft amongst them to use Chinese A.I, doing so at a fraction of cost charged U.S providers it’s good enough for me… just saying
