Report: How Your Mind is Manipulated with Astroturfing

6 corporations control ninety percent of the media: television, radio, print, and online. These corporations do not have your interests in mind. The term for this is astroturfing.

How can you identify astroturfing? Here are the 5 telltale signs that suggest astroturfing:

• Certain key message lines repeatedly crop up. For example, the line “talk to your doctor” is highly suggestive of a PR message for a drug, even if what you’re reading doesn’t look like an advertisement
• Use of inflammatory and derogatory language. Keywords to look for include crank, quack, nutty, lies, paranoid, pseudo and conspiracy
• Astroturfers will often claim to debunk “myths” that are not myths at all
• They will attack people, personalities and organizations rather than address the facts or concerns in question
• Astroturfers are skeptical of those exposing wrongdoing rather than the wrongdoers. As noted by Attkisson, rather than questioning authority, astroturfers question those who question authority

Websites such as Snoops is a good example of astroturfing!!

The case involving Dr. Oz also provides an excellent case study of astroturfing.

The letter accuses Oz of repeatedly showing “disdain for science and for evidence-based medicine, as well as baseless and relentless opposition to the genetic engineering of food crops.” The letter was signed by Dr. Henry I. Miller and nine other “distinguished physicians.”

What the media failed to address is that Miller is a well-known shill for the GMO industry. In his capacity as its frontman, he was caught misrepresenting himself during the Anti-Prop 37 campaign in 2012, pretending to be a Stanford professor opposing GMO labeling, when in fact he is not a professor at Stanford. The TV ad had to be pulled off the air because of this misrepresentation.

Most medical information we access is put forth by one of the 6 groups controlling our access to information. People who speak out are violently attacked as crazy. Dr. Oz is one of the best cardiothoracic surgeons in the world. That is not opinion – that is ranked fact. He is no quack basement doctor. But, the campaign waged against him by these powerful globalist organizations using astroturfing tells a completely different story.

His Wikipedia page describes Dr. Oz like this,

Mehmet Cengiz Oz (Turkish: ; born June 11, 1960), better known as Dr. Oz, is a Turkish-American cardiothoracic surgeon and professor at Columbia University, pseudoscience promoter, author and television personality.

Why the smear? Dr. Oz had the audacity to go on national television and tell people about naturopathy and that he was sick and tired of seeing people dying when solutions existed – they were just hidden from the general public.

In short, the attack on Oz was orchestrated not by “concerned physicians” but rather by industry shills whose job it is to attack anyone who embraces a more natural approach to health and/or raise damning questions that might hurt the industry’s bottom-line.

That is the way our access to information is controlled and the elite stay in power. 6 corporations control 90% of our access to information. That should terrify you.
