MINISTRY OF PROPAGANDA .....

The White House is boosting its own propaganda network, one that is bankrolled by the president's family, they are doing this because they're finding their private current propaganda networks insufficiently suppor-tive, and not manipulative enough. Nothing to match the leadership's xenophobic agenda, or his dreams of reelection and total fascistic supremacy.

It's been no secret that Mr. Trump and his machine, had dreams of directly controlling his own TV network for quite some time, and more so since the 2016 election campaign, now it appears that this dream is coming through with an investment group associated with Trump Junior, who are looking to buy a major stake in One America News (O.A.N.), so the president, his family and oligarchy can take their brand of propaganda and extreme right-wing autocracy to the next level.

Can we imagine a strong media outlet directly controlled and operated by Mr. Trump himself ?? or through his family and oligarchy, while people across the country, and the world are being ravaged and impacted severely by the COVID-19 pandemic, and everywhere people are looking to inde-pendent news outlets for advise and correct information, plus an election looming in view, and the tax breaks to corporations and rich executives, and the mishandling of approved budgets to help small businesses and out of jobs individuals, one can imagine the work this network will produce.

In America, machines like Fox News, Breitbart and OAN, all bankrolled by millionaires, belonging to the same club and playing by the same rules, specializing in pushing out ultra-right wing programming and fake news to perpetuate their propaganda and ideologies, by brain washing their audiences and infecting young innocent minds with all types of cons-piracies and dangerously playing and twisting sciences about all world problems, only to suit big businesses and their interests.

In today's pandemic, large crowds gathering, protests, potential drug complications, drug and preventive medical equipment availability, effectiveness and prices, even spreading racist and completely false rumors, accusing countries and international organizations, all rejected by most serious scientists, and even our own intelligence community. All these are public domain news, very delicate and subject to high mani-pulation. Even Fox news is very careful about the origin of the Wuhan laboratory story, or its counterpart and accomplice in North Carolina or Boston.

They have all been without exception downplaying and manipulating the news about the death toll approaching now 100.000 Americans, and more than 330.000 world wide , and the recurrence of cases in some parts, all to suit Mr. Trump's agenda, demagoguery, hate and vengeance against anyone opposing him and his future reelection plans.

All of this is not enough, as the Trump machine now wants to control this powerful semi official tool personally and directly. This type of organised and politicized propaganda cannot be permitted to continue spreading disinformation unchecked, they must be all accountable for their blatant lies, whether it is an adventure in Iraq for its WMD, or a war with Iran, invading Venezuela or a world pandemic, they should all be thoroughly checked.

Let's admit it, all governments lie, it is the job of journalists and the media outlets to do the hard, tedious reporting to expose these lies, and not the contrary. More than half the president's tweets this past week, targeted Obama/Biden, only 16% focused on Corona virus responses and solutions, is this the general pattern and policy of his private propaganda machine & network once established !!!!!
