Propaganda model of communication.

Five filters of editorial bias

The propaganda model for the manufacture of public consent describes five editorially distorting filters, which are applied to the reporting of news in mass communications media:

Size, Ownership, and Profit Orientation: The dominant mass-media outlets are large companies operated for profit; and, therefore, must cater to the financial interests of the owners — usually corporations and controlling investors. The size of a media company is consequence of the investment capital required for the mass-communications technology required to reach a mass audience of viewers, listeners, and readers.

The Advertising License to Do Business: Since the majority of the revenue of major media outlets derives from advertising (not from sales or subscriptions), advertisers have acquired a "de facto licensing authority".[4] Media outlets are not commercially viable without the support of advertisers. News media must therefore cater to the political prejudices and economic desires of their advertisers. This has weakened the working class press, for example, and also helps explain the attrition in the number of newspapers.

Sourcing Mass Media News: Herman and Chomsky argue that “the large bureaucracies of the powerful subsidize the mass media, and gain special access [to the news], by their contribution to reducing the media’s costs of acquiring [...] and producing, news. The large entities that provide this subsidy become 'routine' news sources and have privileged access to the gates. Non-routine sources must struggle for access, and may be ignored by the arbitrary decision of the gatekeepers.”[5]

Flak and the Enforcers: "Flak" refers to negative responses to a media statement or program (e.g. letters, complaints, lawsuits, or legislative actions). Flak can be expensive to the media, either due to loss of advertising revenue, or due to the costs of legal defense or defense of the media outlet's public image. Flak can be organized by powerful, private influence groups (e.g. think tanks). The prospect of eliciting flak can be a deterrent to the reporting of certain kinds of facts or opinions.[5]

Anti-Communism: This was included as a filter in the original 1988 edition of the book, but Chomsky argues that since the end of the Cold War (1945–91), anticommunism was replaced by the "War on Terror", as the major social control mechanism.[6]

Plutocracy: Political Repression In The U.S.A

Plutocracy: Political Repression In The U.S.A (part 1)

Plutocracy is the first documentary to comprehensively examine early American history through the lens of class. A multi-part series by filmmaker Scott Noble, Part I focuses on the the ways in which the American people have historically been divided on the basis of race, ethnicity, sex and skill level.

Plutocracy: Divide et Impera (Divide and Rule) includes sections on Mother Jones, the American Constitution; the Civil War draft riots; Reconstruction; Industrialization; the evolution of the police; the robber barons; early American labor unions; and major mid-to-late 19th Century labor events including the uprising of 1877, the Haymarket Affair, the Homestead strike and the New Orleans General Strike. The introduction examines the West Virginian coal wars of the early 20th Century, culminating in the Battle of Blair Mountain.

Part II ('Solidarity Forever') will cover the late 19th Century to the early twenties.

some drawnings

geen titel

fictieve redenen voor oorlogen. 
de maatschappij aan banden. 
mensen gelijk aan ons 
verdrinken en verbranden 
in vergelegen zeeen en landen.

de mens verkeerd in illussie.
xenophobie is de visie.  
vluchtelingen zijn niet onze vijanden.

mijn hart en mijn gedachte 
beginnen te ontvlammen.
warmer en sterker 
dan de olie die ze verbranden. 

het is de vlam van de revolutie. 
mijn visie;
wordt minder troebel,
minder vaag. 
de wereld in een hogere resolutie 

mijn hoofd gaat omhoog van altijd laag geweest
en nog steeds 
zijn er mensen die grenzen en verschillen zien
een visie en een wereld die geen mens verdient 

het is tijd 
voor revolutie 
verandering 
en vrijheid.

Grey skies , troubled mind

grey skies reflect our troubled mind
reality responds in kind 

dark shadows roam wasted lands
dreams and wishes turn to dust 
empty vessels try to make amends

like a bird with clipped wings
looking at the unobtainable sky
wondering what it feels like to fly 

grey skies reflect our troubled mind
reality responds in kind 

bodies become sacks of bones 
hearts made of stone 
thats all that is left
when men is left alone

traps underneath our feet
wandering on the rithme of our heartbeat
ilussions and ignorance gain ground
our souls hell bound

grey skies reflect our troubled mind
reality responds in kind
