The Dollar Vigilante, Jeff Berwick, May 18, 2014

It doesn't
happen often, but The New York Times (NYT) has truthfully reported on something
recently.
On what did
it report? Well, on itself, and how alarmed it is due to its own increasing
irrelevance in the face of new sources of information.
NYT is
well-aware of the "New Media," as a 96-page internal report, sent to
top executives last month, makes clear. Obtained by Buzzfeed, the report
"paints a dark picture of a newsroom struggling more dramatically than is
immediately visible to adjust to the digital world, a newsroom that is hampered
primarily by its own storied culture."
The report
ignores its traditional mainstream (MSM) competitors and takes a closer look at
new digital companies like First Look Media, Vox, Huffington Post, Business
Insider and Buzzfeed.
“They are
ahead of us in building impressive support systems for digital journalists, and
that gap will grow unless we quickly improve our capabilities,” the report
states. “Meanwhile, our journalism advantage is shrinking as more of these
upstarts expand their newsrooms.”
“We are not
moving with enough urgency,” it says.
A central
issue for NYT is “a cadre of editors who remain unfamiliar with the web.”
“Many desks
lack editors who even know how to evaluate digital work,” the report continues.
A few
suggestions NYT is looking into is a TED talks-style event series and an
expanded op-ed platform, including location-based local news and information.
But it is
too late...
STATING THE
OBVIOUS
At the very
least, thank you, NYT, for stating the truth even though it was an internal
document not meant for the public.. And, even if it was already painfully
obvious. Still it took bravery for such a dinosaur to admit its own
obsolescence.
The paper's
model is obsolete, but even worse than the model has been the paper's lack of
interest in the truth. As the US empire has grown more out of control, more
dangerous, and more insane, the NYT has functioned as a fourth branch of
government, a gatekeeper for a totalitarian world a la 1984 or Brave New World.
But the gig is up. The world knows NYT's complicity in erecting a sick and
deranged world, and unless the paper breaks major news stories and outs itself
as an undeniable friend of freedom, it will continue to lose revenue. No more
can NYT expect to serve the elite and its bottom line at the same time. In the age of the internet, what David
Rockefeller was once grateful for is no longer possible:
"We
are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and
other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and
respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years...It would have
been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been
subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more
sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The
supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely
preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries."
Mainstream
media is definitely dying, and this is a VERY good thing. The root of the word
government combine as "to control minds." The root of the word "govern" is
control and the root of "ment" is mind. Without control over minds via the media, the
government will lose all control. More young people now get their news from the
internet than television. In mere years most everybody will get their news from
the internet because nobody will trust the mainstream:
This data
shows that it is really only those over 65 years old who are still completely
brainwashed. Not all, of course. But many or most. The good news is they will be dying soon
along with their interest in voting.
Newsweek
(which I call Newspeak) has released its last print issue. You'll remember one
of Newsweek's last attempts to be relevant again was uncovering the wrong
Satoshi Nakamoto as the creator of bitcoin. They found some guy with the right
name in the phone book...You know, "quality journalism"...
Clearly the
only valuable part of MSM media sites is in the comments section which debunks
90% of the articles published. Popular Science was so overwhelmed by people
bringing facts into many of their articles that the site shut off its comments
section.
CNN's
viewership is at a record-low (the network recently laid off 40 journalists),
while CNBC has suffered a viewership collapse as well... and this with the Dow
at all time inflated highs. Imagine if
the stock market were going down how low these numbers would be.

But once
Larry King said that CNN would be better off showing re-runs of Spongebob
Squarepants 24 hours a day, you knew it was over...
Larry King
left CNN because he knew it would collapse. He left CNN for the Russian
government propaganda channel, RT, because it is more respected and features
more truth about the West. Twenty years ago, this would be have been unheard of
for Larry King! A career-ender! Not today...Nope. Today it is a respect-earner.
Oh, how things have changed...
THE NEW
MEDIA TAKEOVER
The New
Media has taken over. Alex Jones is almost a household name and groups like
Luke Rudkowski's We Are Change have revolutionized how people get information.
(Editor's Note: We Are Change offers "Change Media University" to
learn how to become a real investigative journalist that we highly
recommend. Forget traditional
school).For years now the most popular MSM personalities, like Glenn Beck, have
followed the playbook of new media personalities in a bid to remain relevant. Now,
in order to remain relevant people like Glenn Beck need to quote or interview
people in the "alternative media".

It was not
all that long ago that John Kerry and Zbigniew Brzezinski said that the
internet, simply put, is making it hard for them to govern. Secretary of
Statism, John Kerry, before a group of State Department workers told the
audience that the world has been "complicated" by "... this
little thing called the internet and the ability of people everywhere to
communicate instantaneously and to have more information coming at them in one
day than most people can process in months or a year."
According
to Kerry, the internet "makes it much harder to govern, makes it much
harder to organize people, much harder to find the common interest."
Z-Big
echoed his sentiment, saying that public access to information stopped war with
Syria.
Bill
Clinton, laughingly even suggested the need for a "Ministry of Truth"
over the internet, run by the US federal government, that would censor anything
it did not deem to be "truth".
In 5-10
years people will look at you funny if you tell them you watch mainstream
media. Why? Because there is no real information nor substance on mainstream
media. If you want to know what's happening in your world, and what's important,

“…6 - The News
Number six. I'll be brief. Watch for your news to change. It has to. When the media realizes that Human Beings are changing their watching habits, they're going to start changing what they produce for you to watch. Eventually, there's going to be something called "The Good News Channel," and it will be very attractive indeed. For it will be real and offset the drama of what is today's attraction. This is what families at night, sitting around the table, will wish to watch. They'll have something where the whole picture of a situation is shown and not just the dramatic parts. You will hear about what's happening on the planet that no one is telling you now, and when that occurs [we have no clock, dear one], it's going to compete strongly with the drama. I keep telling you this. Human nature itself is starting to be in color instead of black and white. Watch for it. And that was number six ….”

“… Government
Let us speak of government. We're not speaking of your government, but of any government - the way it works, how it survives, how it has survived, the way it campaigns, and how it elects leaders. It's going to change.
Years ago, I told you, "When everybody can talk to everybody, there can be no secrets." Up to this point on this planet, government has counted on one thing - that the people can't easily talk to each other on a global scale. They have to get their information through government or official channels. Even mass media isn't always free enough, for it reports that which the government reports. Even a free society tends to bias itself according to the bias of the times. However, when you can have Human Beings talking to each other all at once, all over the planet without government control, it all changes, for there is open revelation of truth.
Democracy itself will change and you're going to see it soon. The hold-outs, the few countries I have mentioned in the past, are doomed unless they recalibrate. They're doomed to be the same as they have been and won't be able to exist as they are now with everyone changing around them.
I mentioned North Korea in the past. Give it time. Right now, the young man is under the control of his father's advisors. But when they're gone, you will see something different, should he survive. Don't judge him yet, for he is being controlled.
In government, if you're entire voting base has the ability to talk to itself without restriction and comes up with opinions by itself without restriction, it behooves a politician to be aware and listen to them. This will change what politicians will do. It will change the way things work in government. Don't be surprised when some day a whole nation can vote all at once in a very unusual way. Gone will be the old systems where you used to count on horseback riders to report in from faraway places. Some of you know what I am talking about. Government will change. The systems around you, both dark and light, will change. You're going to start seeing something else, too, so let's change the subject and turn the page. ”
