TV Causes AutismTV Causes Autism
– A Research– A Research
Researchers at
Cornell University
and Purdue
University claim to
have found a link
between childhood
TV watching and
autism, confirming
what everyone had
already surmised.
According to
research, heavy TV
indulgence before
the age of three is
clearly associated
with an increase in
autism. The paper
suggests that TV
could be a trigger for
those with a genetic
predisposition
toward the condition.
THE POWER OF TV:THE POWER OF TV:
The TV Masters Have An AgendaThe TV Masters Have An Agenda
• "We are going to impose our agenda on the coverage by dealing with issues and
subjects that we choose to deal with."- (Richard Cohan, Sr. Producer, CBS political news).
• “The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major
media.”- William Colby, Ex Director of the CIA
• "In March 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests -- the steel, shipbuilding, and powder
interest, and their subsidiary organizations -- got together 12 men high up in the
newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in
the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of
the daily press ...They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of
the greatest papers. An agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought,
to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly
supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism,
financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered
vital to the interests of the purchasers." - U.S. Congressman Oscar Callaway, 1917
• "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 subject to the
bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now 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 auto determination practiced in past centuries." - David
Rockefeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission, in an address before that organization in June 1991
The Engineering of Public ConsentThe Engineering of Public Consent – Edward Bernays.– Edward Bernays.

A powerful PowerPoint Presentation available at:A powerful PowerPoint Presentation available at: www.98.to/paradisowww.98.to/paradiso//
• “As civilization becomes more complex, and as the need for INVISIBLE
GOVERNMENT has been increasingly demonstrated, the technical means have been
invented and developed by which PUBLIC OPINION MAY BE REGIMENTED.
•With printing press and newspaper, the telephone, telegraph, radio, (television) and
airplanes, ideas can be spread rapidly, and even instantaneously, across the whole of
America.
• The conscious and intelligent MANIPULATION of organized habits and
OPINIONS of the MASSES is an important element in a “democratic” society. Those
who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an INVISIBLE
GOVERNMENT which is the TRUE RULING POWER IN OUR COUNTRY.
• We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested,
largely by MEN WE HAVE NEVER HEARD OF. [The Media Masters!]
• Whatever attitude one chooses to take toward this condition, it remains a fact that
in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, our
social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are DOMINATED by a relatively SMALL
NUMBER OF PERSONS, a trifling fraction of our hundred and twenty million, who
understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses.
• It is THEY who PULL THE WIRES which CONTROL THE PUBLIC MIND,
and who harness old social forces and CONTRIVE NEW WAYS TO BIND AND
GUIDE THE WORLD.”
•Edward Bernays--Sigmund Freud’s cousin--in his book “Propaganda” published
1928, former director CBS. The father of social “engineering of consent” of the
masses.

  • 13. THE POWER OF TV:THE POWER OF TV: The TV Masters Have An AgendaThe TV Masters Have An Agenda • "We are going to impose our agenda on the coverage by dealing with issues and subjects that we choose to deal with."- (Richard Cohan, Sr. Producer, CBS political news). • “The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media.”- William Colby, Ex Director of the CIA • "In March 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests -- the steel, shipbuilding, and powder interest, and their subsidiary organizations -- got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press ...They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers. An agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers." - U.S. Congressman Oscar Callaway, 1917 • "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 subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now 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 auto determination practiced in past centuries." - David Rockefeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission, in an address before that organization in June 1991

Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT which is the TRUE RULING POWER IN OUR COUNTRY. • We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by MEN WE HAVE NEVER HEARD OF. [The Media Masters!] • Whatever attitude one chooses to take toward this condition, it remains a fact that in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are DOMINATED by a relatively SMALL NUMBER OF PERSONS, a trifling fraction of our hundred and twenty million, who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. • It is THEY who PULL THE WIRES which CONTROL THE PUBLIC MIND, and who harness old social forces and CONTRIVE NEW WAYS TO BIND AND GUIDE THE WORLD.” •Edward Bernays--Sigmund Freud’s cousin--in his book “Propaganda” published 1928, former director CBS. The father of social “engineering of consent” of the masses.
