You nailed it sir. We would all be served well if this were widely read. I would add (and you alluded to it) that Obama/Clinton would not have been able to be so successful at their Russia deflection from their own crimes, moral and political, had it not been for a mainstream press so ready to defend them at every turn. The mainstream press has been captured by the Deep State whoever they are. Pizzagate was real and Ben Swan did a really good investigative story on that. Consequently he lost his job and his career crashed. Seth Rich was likely murdered for exposing the criminal underbelly of Hillary, her advisors and the DNC. Assange was persecuted for exposing it to the world. Snowdon had to flee the country when he exposed the fact that Obama really was lying to us about the extent of the surveillance state. Physicians were fired or threatened with having their license revoked for telling us about safe and effective treatments for Covid and preventive measures to keep from getting it in the first place. Lots of people died from that one and are still dying and it may be that the human genome has now been eternally compromised. That perhaps is the greatest crime in all of human history.
HBruce - I agree with your excellent comments! However, I think the term ‘captured’ to describe the media isn’t accurate, as it implies being helpless, with no options whatever (a mouse in a trap is captured). I prefer ‘corrupted’, as ‘captured’ implies an excuse, like they can’t help it. They DO have a choice. But greed prevails, I guess.
Somehow we need to understand how the main media became so corrupted. Was it always such? Some time ago they began to spout the daily talking points nearly in unison as if some power required it. What happened to the curiosity of youth to speak true to power? At least now we have some alternate forums like SubStack to examine more aspects of truth. I suppose many don’t care as long as they are getting by but the election of Biden ought to frighten us all.
I have wondered that myself. Here are my thoughts. First, over the past few decades, the diverse media sources in our nation have been consolidated under just a handful of billionaires. How much these owners have over the narrative that gets put out on the airwaves is difficult to discern. But its troubling that all the media in the US is now owned and controlled by a few people. It also seems like all the media sources rely heavily on the Associated Press for their news. I think that explains why so many seemingly independent news stations around the US parrot the same news lines. So then the question becomes who is guiding the AP in what gets reported and what doesn't and how to they get their information? Finally, advertisers play a big role in what gets reported and what doesn't. I recently read that Big Pharma makes up 25% of all advertising sources for media corporations. So, it would not be good business to report on things that puts a bad light on Big Pharma.
Perhaps a good reason to eliminate pharma public ads. Too much influence. But another issue is the domination of the ad market by Google. Revenue that once was available to media, local media particularly, now isn’t there.
Your observation leads to an interesting side note search. Check out Cass Sunstein (who worked for Obama and was married to Samantha Powers). His paper on how to use false conspiracies to muddy the political waters was the road map for Russia, Russia. He suggests sending forth all manner of agitators who mount soapboxes and promote false conspiracies. After awhile the public can no longer discern the real conspiracies from the government created conspiracies. They give up. One floods the playing field. Brilliant but evil paper that was used quite effectively by Obama et al.
Great piece, John, one of your best. But come on, Hillary's a great speaker. In that two sentence quote from her Goldman-Sachs "speech," there were only two "you knows." You know?
Madison, Jefferson, and others who put stock in educating Americans to defend their freedom would surely be appalled at how greatly our education system has deteriorated since then. Few stand a fighting chance against the onslaught of lies emanating from schools, media, churches, and so forth. Only a small and stubborn remnant, maybe 10-20% of the population, can still recognize the truth, much less speak out against the lies.
Thank you for this post John, especially the analysis of "The Prince" which I may have read decades ago. I'm sorry to read you are losing paid subscribers. You all do an amazing job of keeping us informed on so many levels. I won't be going anywhere.
"... though Obama was undoubtedly under the influence of Deep State ghouls ... who assured him that the intrigue against Trump was justified. ... RussiaGate was an obvious intrigue and hoax ...“
If it was obvious then we'd have to conclude that Obama is stupid and easily influenced. Excuse me if I don't believe that. Obama is a smart, malevolent man. Any influence involved only confirmation of and permission for what he already wanted to do.
What an extraordinary report. I am living in Canada but am Swiss ... I love following you with great satisfaction and many Awe-moments Thank you so much.
As long as we keep referring to them as the “deep state” they will continue to orchestrate our collective demise with impunity from behind the veil of anonymity!
On Twitter, this group is regularly called out, they are no longer the unnameable, but a part of a regular broad discussion on who they are, their motives, their allegiance etc.
I have dozens of lists with over 2000 names correlating job titles with the people in power, CEOs and decision makers. Here is just a small example, look at these job titles and then think of the damage these people collectively caused our society, our loved ones, prosperity, freedom, and health since 2020.
Then do the slightest bit of investigation and tell yourself what they all have in common, there is only one correct answer!

Obama would never have become president, if it weren't for his patron...George Soros. Obama looked good in a suit and could speak well using a teleprompter...plus he was provided a family man background. Soros paid millions to hide Obama's real background. George Soros has made trouble all over the world...and he was close with Hillary and Bill, too. He has used his money to do a lot of harm here in America with his Open Society. I believe that he was involved in this Russiagate scandal, too.
Poor Eisenhower, he was continually manipulated by the Dulles brothers, one of which, Allen, put his psychopathic stamp on the CIA, from which the CIA has never recovered. So, yes Eisenhower knew what he was talking about when he warned the rest of us to beware the MIC.
John Leake, your work is vital to the future health and prosperity of the country. Some subscribers falling away is indicative of exhaustion... foretold in the Bible, in the "wearing out of the saints". We are instructed to overcome... to do that, we must endure to the end. To endure, we must be equipped with knowledge, and parlay that into wisdom and discretion, and integrity. The truth is increasingly the currency of the day, John Leake, which is where you, Nicholas and Dr. McCullough excel. Please do everything in your power to continue on. On this note, I am upgrading to founding.
John writes, "Ordinary citizens have always struggled to recognize that the ruling class has always been in the business of sustaining and augmenting its power and wealth, and has always regarded ordinary citizens as naive and easy to manipulate." This begins to get at the problem. We know an educated public is vital, but we overlooked the factor of false (implanted) knowledge. We did not pay attention to the idea that the knowledge base could be tainted intentionally with mind control techniques, propaganda, and an education system designed to substitute Marxist platitudes for real knowledge. The entire discipline of science fell into promoting the falsehoods of materialism, covering up their failure with technology, leaving us staring at nuclear weapons and manipulative AI. The importance of the epistemology classes was overlooked.
Tantamount is personal agency. Willingness to seek out truth then think and act in an adult who loves God's revelation of himself and his will in the Bible (1Sam 12:14 New Living Translation
“Now if you fear and worship the LORD and listen to his voice, and if you do not rebel against the LORD’s commands, then both you and your king will show that you recognize the LORD as your God.) and thus cares for family, friends and neighbors. 1 Peter 5:7 Amplified Bible ..."casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully].
"Almost invariably, a criminal who gets away with a lot of things becomes increasingly brazen."
Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.
Spiritual wisdom is no doubt the crowning achievement in terms of knowledge; but I worry the wisdom path through the bramble bushes has been bombed into great disrepair. Guess we have to get out in the wilderness and repair the path.
First class commentary John. Thanks. Nice quotes. Things were bad enough before RG. After that, things only got worse. This is what happens when the spooks are in control. Trump's recent about face on Ukraine - and other nothing burgers after high hopes - only reinforce this view. End of empire stuff indeed.
Did Trump make an about face on Ukraine? Hm. I thought I watched him juke the opposing team with great skill. You might ask Zelensky, last seen desperately looking for a remote place of exile, if it was an "about face" or an Earl Campbell style juke. I'm guessing it was the latter.

The 1960s were a pivotal time in American history. Here’s all the events that happened:
- The moon landing
- JFK assassination
- MK Ultra studies
- and more
What’s interesting about those events is that the deep state was able to convince America and the world whatever narrative they wanted:
“We WENT to the moon”
-“JFK was killed by one man and shot in the back”
And even when people questioned it, the deep state was able to control the narrative —and label disbelievers “conspiracy theorists”
Ever since the 60s, the deep state has run wild and the only thing we can do to stop them is to stop supporting their narratives

And each of these are unforgettably etched into our witnessed live memory banks.
As is 9/11 etc. Many things you just cannot un-see.
