On
October 11, 2018, 58+ more pages were removed from
Facebook causing yet another uproar in the ‘war’ against
independent media. My inbox flooded with messages as friends and other
page admins began asking me when I thought we were going to be next.
The thought crossed my mind,
the day could come, but for now, we will keep building our platform off
Facebook, stay grounded in our thoughts and continue producing quality,
neutral, conscious media and journalism. We feel Facebook will not have any
REAL excuse to come after that, but we know they don’t need an excuse per se.
After all, all of my friend’s
pages were just deleted because Facebook felt they were tied to some sort of
Russian/US election meddling. It’s interesting when you consider the only
people meddling in the election is Facebook. Why else would they delete
numerous Facebook pages which often oppose the state-controlled mainstream
media?
Beyond the political pressure
Facebook seems to be receiving, what actually goes on during this all our
targeted censorship? We may never know exactly, but signs point to a specific
group that appears to be heavily involved in the process.
The
Group That Guides Facebook Censorship
Enter The Atlantic Council
(TAC).
According
to a Google Search,
TAC is an American think tank
in the field of international affairs. Founded in 1961, it provides a forum for
international political, business, and intellectual leaders. It manages ten
regional centers and functional programs related to international security and
global economic prosperity.
Sounds
nice, but then again so do many things that have profit and control driven
intentions. Take Monsanto for example, here is an explanation of what they
do according to a Monsanto rep.
Monsanto is a global modern
agriculture company. We develop products and tools to help farmers around the
world grow crops while using energy, water, and land more efficiently. We
believe innovation has the potential to bring humanity’s needs in balance with
the resources of our planet.
A
look into what Monsanto really does might reveal such things as harming and destroying nature en
masse. Poisoning the masses and
feeding them a genetically experimental food that
in many studies shows dangers.
The point is, we have to look
a little more closer at corporations.
So who exactly are The
Atlantic Council? And are they actually helping Facebook decide who to censor?
Good questions. Let’s begin by looking at who funds TAC.
Here
are a few donors according to TAC’s website. They include the US and foreign
government agencies as well as prominent companies and figures tied to deep state activity.
HSBC Holdings plc
Rockefeller Brothers Fund
Google Inc.
Foreign & Commonwealth Office of the United Kingdom
Lockheed Martin Corporation
The Coca-Cola Company
Chevron
Bahaa Hariri (prominent Lebanese billionaire)

With my
11 years of research into this space, I feel as though this is the type of
group responsible for controlling narratives around the world. Whitewashing
wars, creating hatred between nations on the public level, and fostering
narratives that lead to wars and conflict. After all, it’s funded by arms
manufacturers like Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing.
In other
words, TAC may very well be a propaganda arm for agencies like NATO, the US
Government and so forth. This would mean they work to control the narratives
that come out of mainstream media to control what the public thinks and
discusses. This leads to what the public will ultimately support.
According to Facebook’s newsroom, on
May 17th, 2018, Facebook announced its partnership with The Atlantic Council to
combat ‘fake news.’
Today,
we’re excited to launch a new partnership with the Atlantic Council, which has
a stellar reputation looking at innovative solutions to hard problems.
How did
the mainstream media view this partnership with a council such as this? A
council backed by the very billionaires and corporations independent media
organizations prove fund wars, terrorism, and harm/mislead the public?
Everything points to ‘fake news’ and ‘propaganda.’ The
narratives that began the moment Hillary Clinton, the next Deep
State chosen president, lost the 2016 election.
As the
public, we have to ask the question, who’s watching the watchers? If mainstream
media holds the position of never being purveyors of propaganda, then how do we
know who’s truly holding them accountable? Well, I guess it’s the Atlantic
Group. Helping to create narratives that point to independent dissenting media
voices as ‘propaganda.’
Perhaps this is the group behind the ‘Russian/US election
fraud narrative.’ Maybe this is the group who is still trying to big up the
highly corrupt Clinton’s. Maybe this is a group that is creating the propaganda
that enters the mainstream. (A story we’d love to investigate once we can afford to hire our investigative team.)
Does TAC Really Create Propaganda? Yes!
How do we know The Atlantic Council creates propaganda
themselves? Let’s look back to when Ben Nimmo, a one-time NATO press officer,
and Atlantic Council board member, stated that grammar
mistakes were “proof” that journalists or social media users were paid Kremlin
trolls.
Ben
Nimmo later went on to create a worldwide fake news story, that the mainstream
media heavily ran with, calling a retired British citizen a Russian bot. The
British citizen and Twitter user Ian56789 later came out on Sky News
showing his real face and identity, proving Ben Nimmo was wrong about him being
a Russian bot. Of course, the mainstream media didn’t go national with that
story, only the fake news version.
WikiLeaks
was critical of Nimmo and The Atlantic Council after that bout of propaganda.
You
literally produced, with money from weapons companies and dictatorships, a fake
news story that spread all over the world, defaming a very British retiree, who
wants to reduce arms company profits, as a Kremlin bot. So who’s the paid
troll?

The
point here is, Facebook choosing to work with this group essentially
states Facebook is becoming nothing more than a narrative controller just like
the mainstream media. TAC on several occasions has created fake news stories,
that went viral, about the very political narratives independent media is
pointing out as false yet are being called propaganda. So who is truly creating
propaganda?
The
entity that is making censorship decisions for Facebook, as publicly announced,
is the Atlantic Council, a partly US government-funded entity. At what point
will the extremely tight ties between these companies and the US government end
the “they are private” argument?

As a
side, this is a council that gave its top global leadership awards
to former US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
