"How the Media Led the Great Racial Awakening"

Newspaper articles on Occupy Wallstreet and the Tea Party quickly dropped off among ALL media outlets, and ALL media outlets immediately started reporting news stories about racism right afterwards:



The topic of "race" has become a convenient way for media outlets, at the behest of their corporate & banker overlords, to distract the American people from important issues like corporate corruption, banks manipulating our economies, and the decline of the American dream due to continuing inflation combined with more slowly increasing wages, while corporate profits are at an all time high.

The recent "systemic racism" propaganda campaign being waged by the mainstream media began in early 2012 and continues to this day. Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party movements eventually fizzled out after media outlets stopped coverage and switched to coverage of "racism" and anything racial in nature.

It should be obvious by now that the mainstream media has a massive agenda, designed to distract the public's attention away from corporate, banking, & government corruption.

The media is not on your side.
Yes, you said it. And Biden will make full use of the race distraction.

They were drawing attention to the bailouts, and so was the Tea Party. MSN made sure to distract and divide the pubic.

When Biden talks about racism, Democrats see him as a compassionate and loving leader who they can trust. It will NOT MATTER what sleazy things he does in the next 4 years, it will not matter how the middle class gets looted and screwed by Wall Street. Biden will simply bring up racism and that is all the Democrats will care about.

Well...those are things he said he'd do. He certainly captured the zeitgeist. In reality his tax plan was a huge payback to Wall St and the investor class, who have benefitted most from globalism.

I encourage you to read my post & reconsider your thinking on this. Pointing out the obvious here, but since Wall St donated 99% for Hillary Clinton & the Dems in 2016, Trump didn't owe them anything & thus it was not "payback". It was done to help the American people, not Wall St. It was the corporate media that sold Americans that lie, because they didn't want Trump cutting corporate taxes & putting them in a position of having no excuses not to return our jobs.

In order to bring manufacturing back to the US & put people back to work in good paying, low skilled jobs, we had to make America competitive in terms of corporate taxes. By slashing our federal corporate tax rate to 21%, he brought us into a similar bracket as the countries he wanted to compete against. We can't charge 45% taxes & reasonably expect corporations to move back from China, or Mexico where they pay 30%. Agreed? By slashing the federal tax to 21%, after you add on state & other local taxes, it puts us in the mid-30% range. So still not as low as China or Mexico, but at least we're in the conversation now. A tangent here, but it's the same with energy. We can't expect manufacturing to return here if we make corporations pay double-triple by forcing windmills, solar & other cost prohibitive energy sources on them, while China lets them use any cheap fuel they want, with virtually no environmental regulations.

Wall St fought against Trump from the get-go because they're globalists, not Americans. The last thing they, along with the CoC, wanted was "America first" as it doesn't jive with maximizing global profits. To that point, Trump put through the first foreign trade bill (USMCA) in 50 years that was not written by Wall St, which is why Wall St, the CoC and the corporate D's/R's were all united in opposing it. It's the same reason Wall St & the investor class also loaded up Biden & the Dems with campaign money in 2020, giving virtually nothing to Trump.
