America's Worst Enemy
Bin Laden?
Zarqawi?
Iran?
North Korea?
Not even close.
They wield the most powerful weapon in the world, and depending on how they use it, they can be America's Worst Enemy.
In fact, when you examine what they produce, it's plain just how divisive and subversive they are.
For example, Fox Network is running an original series called "Thief," scheduled to premier Tuesday night.
Last week, I caught a glimpse of a bus ad promoting it. Its background was all white, and in the center was an adult African-American male with one arm stretched out before him, palm facing front, fingers wide open.
On either side of his palm were two words "EVERYBODY" "STEALS" in gargantuan letters which, but for their size, were hardly visible from the background.
I couldn't believe my eyes. Then, by chance, I ran into it again online.
I was right. The ad did say "EVERYBODY STEALS." And the African-American man it portrays is the principal culprit in the series - a professional bank robber, co-starring with another African-American male, an Italian mobster, a Chinese assassin, and a White mastermind. Every role carefully plotted. Each character designed to feed into stereotypes of each race.
And then it occurred to me, who created these stereotypes to begin with? The Media.
Blacks, Hispanics, Arabs, Italians, Irish, Whites, Indians - no one is immune from their brush.
But, why? Is it all by chance?
When was the last time you produced a movie, commercial, or billboard ad by chance?
Nothing gets produced in the media by chance. Every image - and its outcome - is produced by design. Their aim is to divide and control.
Take their slogan - "Everybody Steals." Why make a LIE like that your slogan, unless you want to destroy people's trust in each other. Better to trust only the government, their bankers, and the media.
It's time for Americans to realize just how badly we are being manipulated by the media - through every single image, commercial, news cast, movie - you name it.
It's not just the war in Iraq and 9/11.
The messages we're force-fed on a daily basis constitute our lives, consume our minds, shape our goals, and frame our discourse. Worst of all, they teach our children.
This is not informing and entertaining. This is programming.
Fox delivers another message in this series. By incorporating the number "1" from a one dollar bill into the logo for the series, Fox not only reinforces the false impression that money has any value in and of itself, it also focuses our attention on the crimes of a rogue gang of thugs with hand-guns who steal a few million by breaking locks in the dead of night.
Meanwhile, the REAL culprits get away with stealing trillions upon trillions, in broad daylight, legally, openly and systematically - using a printing press, fractional reserve banking, and interest.
The media not only knows the TRUTH, they're working to make sure we never learn it, by filling our minds with LIES - and that makes them our worst enemy.

Concordantly ABC will be releasing a new mini-series entitled Kleptomania. The slogan, "Everybody steals...for reasons purely sexual".
LOL..you're a riot...watch them do it.
Problem here is that it is all legal, legal brainwashing, what can you do? You deal with people (viewers) that are ignorant because they were already brainwashed for decades about the American Dream: materialism. The more money the better, it was dangling before their eyes like a carrot.
I am a filmmaker myself, I know the power of sublimation and the power of repeat the power of editing and how confincing. Leni Riefenstahl ( 1902-2003) German filmeditor and filmmaker, she was responsibel for filming all Nazi propaganda. This TV series sounds more sophisticated and more dangerous. As I stated befor in these comments the only way is silence the Foxes of this world and educate people.

I can see the images of the show you posted seem extreme, but the star, Andre Braugher, is only one of the most acclaimed TV actors around. I am going to go out on a limb and say this will probably be a quality show, even if it contains morals you disagree with. I will also go out on a limb and say that Andre Braugher will probably not act in a show that portrays black men as mere stereotypes.
Also, there is a difference between portraying a bank robber and advocating bank robbery. Some shows, such as Nip/Tuck and The Shield, also on the same network - portray grossly immoral behavior without necessarily condoning it.
Miss R, for some reason you reminded me of Don't Be A Menace. The Wayans go into a liquor store and the owners are watching them like hawks, then the only white guy in the store proceeds to lift everything he can.
vper1, you forgot the full name of the movie.
Don't be a Menace to Society While Drinking Juice in the Hood.
The name is almost as cool as To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar.
Gosh, I think I better take up stealing!
What you CAN do is mention it's stupid venality to anyone and everyone you know.Point it out and spread the word- kill it by word of mouth.
Unto you is given an old parable in a new skin: that of the $50 bill and the two pints of blood.
There once was a man who lent a middle class friend $50 two days before Christmas. Two days before the following Easter, he donated two pints of his rare blood to the working poor class son of a friend who was to undergo surgery.
Which friend will deem his friendship as invaluable beyond measure? So it is with the black community who are constantly being bombarded with destructive poisons. It is they who will treasure the good news of the Gospel the most, even though it now seems imposible. In fact, in less than ten years, if you're a decent enough white person as I try to be, you may even watch what you say as to its religious pertinence around them because that's all that'll be left.
I see your point but this is just a TV Show, it's not making you Buy Levitra over milk for your kids. I believe we are all smart enough to see beyond the stereotypes.
Most Americans are completely unaware of the corruption in Washington brought about by AIPAC. They are also unaware that Israel uses the money Congress allocates to assist the country guess that money can be used for various development, on health, pharmacy, many other things. . . to bribe our Congress.
So May be Israel
Great post! I?m just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case. Agen Bola Sbobet Sbobet Casino
