The following is a transcript from the Pro America Report.
Welcome, welcome, welcome. Ed Martin here on the Pro America Report. And what a day, what a show. What is happening in the world, in America? Amazing.
In a few moments, we will catch up with my old friend Dr. Ted Malloch. He’s got a theory of how we can set up government work to make it more efficient. You’ll hear that and a lot more commentary on where we are just a week or so before the election.
We’ll also get a replay of the interview I did last week with Martin Dugard. His book called Taking Berlin His Taking series. The first one was Taking Paris. This one is taking Berlin about the World War Two, key cities and key times. Very interesting book. We’ll talk. I’m going to replay his interview because his book is out officially today. A great guy and I’m proud to be a part of that. So we’ll get to that in a few moments. All right.
But first, what you need to know. The news broke in the last 24 hours and in particular, Tucker Carlson had on his television program a journalist named Lee Fang.
Lee Fang, I believe he writes primarily at The Intercept, which is an online journal sort of left of center anti-government, or at least critical of the government, especially associated with Glenn Greenwald. He’s no longer there. But I think he founded the Intercept and the Snowden. The Snowden leaks and the coverage of that. So Lee Fang has a very well sourced essay coverage of the fact that American government forces,government agencies were meeting with the social media companies to address, quote, disinformation end quote, in the run up to the 2020 election.
Now, someone said about this, is this news? What’s news is that we see the paper trail and there’s these emails and documents from the government, but I’m not sure it’s news. We sort of all knew this. But allow me to please point out to you how directly this confirms my theory of the Narrative Machine.
Remember, what I’ve said for years now is that the Narrative machine is made up of three components. They’re not exactly co equal, but they’re components that are similar in scope but have different backgrounds, different skill sets. The Narrative machine is managed by big media, big tech and big government. And so you have the three working together to define the narrative and then to dominate the American people with that narrative.
And you have to break out of the narrative machine in some way. You have to know enough to see it. You have to watch another channel. Maybe you watch Fox News and you get kind of pulled out of it. But even Fox News sometimes will be sucked into some of the narratives. But the narrative Machine, the confirmation in Lee Fang’s coverage is that the key departments, and they’re not always the intelligence community, but the ones we can see are related to important services, say like that, homeland security. And you have to think.
If we found the paper trail for some of the government agencies, homeland security, FBI, that the darker security forces in the government are also meeting with them, and they’re meeting with Facebook, and they’re meeting with Twitter and all these executives.
And again, my point here is that the narrative machine is a combination of neuroscience, big tech figuring out how to drive people’s thoughts and their brains a certain way, combined with brainwashing, which is big media using the power of television and the power of personalities. Big name people ratifying judgments on certain pieces of the narrative by using, say, 50 or 51 intelligence officials signing a letter, that kind of thing, right? And then big government and more and more, we’re seeing that big government is blatantly in the room. So that’s what the narrative machine is.
Now, if you think you can break that narrative machine or beat it or disperse, dispense that’s a better word. Dispense your own narrative or get to the true narrative, you can.
But it’s harder than it looks.
You can get your narrative out or get the truth out, but the odds are long when you’re faced with those three monstrously powerful entities, all of big government and all the forces in the room with all of big tech, facebook and Google.
And let me be clear, we’re only seeing the ones that got caught. Do you really think that there’s not, as I said earlier, darker corners of the federal government who are meeting with unknown pieces of the big tech and big media companies, ones that we’re not even seeing, you wouldn’t even know about? Of course. Of course.
One thing, by the way, one thing you don’t see a lot did you notice? You don’t see a lot of coverage of Google, Alphabet as the parent company, google, YouTube. You don’t see a lot of them getting in the mix, do you? You don’t see them being as criticized as Facebook, criticized as Twitter. TikTok gets a big target because it’s owned by the communist regime.
But, you know, YouTube, google has been very clever about staying below, and they have as much power as anybody. They might have more because of their influence on what you see based on searches especially, and what you therefore, what you know and then what you do.
But this admission or this paper trail by Lee Fang goes to the heart of my point on the narrative machine.
And now pause and say to yourself, well, is the narrative machine obvious to you now? Maybe it is, but are there aspects of it that you can’t even tell, you don’t even know?
It’s like the dog that didn’t bark.
I mean, it feels obvious to me that the narrative machine went into overdrive to justify the Ukraine and that everybody in the Ukraine was either on the side of light – Ukraine or the side of darkness – Russia. And that seems overdone, but it’s been pretty effective. Most of the Republican Party and much of the Democrat Party is on board with that vision. That narrative is the dominant narrative. Is it true? I’m not sure. It doesn’t feel true to me because I don’t trust anybody. I did an interview the other day. I said my motto is distrust, then verify. The old Reagan thing was trust and verify.
Distrust, then verify. Because I just don’t trust any of it from the beginning. But again, that’s one that you can see. The big 2020, the big lie, they called it. And they try to say it was a perfect election. And at a certain point, the narrative machine is in overdrive. Big tech is silencing voices. Big media is brainwashing people. Big government is saying, there’s no problems here. Nothing to see here. And you say, Is that a narrative that was forced on us? Sure feels like it.
Are the counter narratives very difficult to get out? Sure feels like it. Are we getting to the truth? Doesn’t feel like it. The narrative machine is so powerful, and we’re watching it happen in front of us.
And the question is, what are we missing? What narratives are they telling us that we’re missing? We don’t even know. It’s like the air we’re breathing. We accept it. We accept it as what’s around us. It’s very worrying, but important that it’s becoming out there and exposed.
And again, is there a way that the Republicans, if they get power at the federal level or state attorneys general or others you know, Eric Schmitt, running for U.S. Senate is the attorney general of Missouri’s done a great job. He’s the one’s getting to the bottom out of a lot of this, or at least getting us a glimpse.
All right, we gotta take a break. We come back, we will talk with Ted Malloch ,and we’ll replay that Martin Dugard interview. Be right back. Ed Martin here in a Pro America Report. Back in a moment.
