Lee Smith makes an important point in this brief podcast excerpt. {Direct Rumble Link Here} We have outlined his point on these pages for several years.
Essentially, the point Lee Smith drives home is how the U.S. Corporate Media, and the Big Tech monopolies, are the front force of the new national security and intelligence state. It is a relationship that extends far beyond the customary leanings of media, and now covers a full synergistic relationship. WATCH:
“We’re all familiar with the fact that the press has historically leaned to the left. That’s not what we’re looking at now. We’re looking at something very, very different. We’re looking at the press as being a part of the intelligence community. They are the ones who is putting these operations out there.”
.
The New York Times and Politico are the public relations firms for Main Justice, the DOJ and FBI. The Washington Post handles the needs of the Intelligence Community (IC) and the Central Intelligence Agency. Meanwhile CNN is managed by the needs of the U.S. State Dept. These direct relationships have been discussed here for several years.
Nice that others are either finally noticing or at last speaking out!
IF you are, by the wording in your statement, that Smith is just “finally noticing or at last speaking out”… you are way, way off base. Lee Smith has been one of the loudest voices out there about this crap!
Not only that Lee Smith has had the loudest voice from the beginning of the RussiaRussiaRussia hoax but he has been saying this since early 2017 among the very first. CirclcinTheDrain is at best ignorant of facts but certainly made a thoroughly unfair comment.
Sundance was earlier.
right on
Lee Smith has been noticing and speaking out for a long time.
Trumps tenure in office forced them to out themselves and the way they operate. The leaks mostly go one way and the preferred outlets of each agency have been made clear. The leak is made yp the media who then creates a fake “emergency” or smear news cycle. Congress then pretends it has to act. Then DOJ pretends it has to act.
Exactly Right… its out in the open as the deep Statists can no longer hide.
This has been going on for a very long time, howver. Operation Mockingbird surfaced more than 6 decades ago and the Church committee found out quite a few presstitutes covertly working for the Government
See also Bob Woodward, Naval intelligence officer turned “journalist” who dutifully played his role in the palace coup against Nixon.
It doesn’t take long to connect the dots. The USA does not have a genuine mainstream press. ALL IT HAS ARE a bunch of propagandists, liars and..
“Fact checkers”
Perhaps watch this older video – good, investigative reporting about the mainstream media and government colluding:
A few decades old, and man, does it nail some of what’s going on today. Voting scams, covid, etc.
There is only ONE way that the corruption in this country, and in the world it self, will ever end !
That is when The Way of Jesus Christ The LORD of all, will finally prevail !!!
Lee Smith recognized what was going on back in January of 2017 because I exchanged emails with him on just this subject.
Lee Smith has been talking about this for some time.
We have known this for how long? Nice that others are catching up.
Im thinking its been going on well before that.
Fifty-Five Years of Mainstream Media Lies
https://newswithviews.com/fifty-five-years-of-mainstream-media-lies/
The New York Times should give back the Duranty Pulitzer it received for covering up the millions killed in the Ukraine during the Holodormor. Stalin killed 3.9 million by starvation in 1932-1934 in SOVIET Ukraine and the New York Times cheered Stalin and no one cared about Ukrainians being the victims of “Central Planning”. Stalin took those farms by starving the farmer. When a farmer hid part of his crop to provide seed for the next year he was executed. The Communists are doing the same thing today across the world and the media is still lying.
A few decades?
That’s so awesome people are finally beginning to talk about the symbiotic relationship Sundance outlines between gov’t and the media. And how that leads to the sh!t show we currently find ourselves trying to escape. The more you know…
God Bless you Sundance.
Wolverines!
I have this little wish… that if Musk acquires Twitter… he simply throws the switch and turns it off and throws it into the garbage bin where the coding belongs.
I, somehow, believe The Lord would return to him the sacrifice of the money as I pray for Trump’s personal sacrifices, as well. The Lord restores the years the locusts have eaten. In God’s Perfect Timing, He Will make this right.
Having children changes people. I pray it be so in Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, AMEN.
The deep state made Elon must, so your wish is not likely to come true.
Wha?
Everything that Musk does, from Starlink to SpaceX to Tesla, is involved with the government. You might be interested in his interest in Neuralink….a brain chip to control you.
Yep, and if he reneges on the deal and creates ‘problems’ I wouldn’t be surprised if his plane drills a smoking hole somewhere. Branch 4 is not to be trifled with.
Actually, I don’t think you really want that.
Create a vacuum, SOMETHING will fill it.
Up in the air, about Musk, will wait and see.
Ideally, something that fills the “twitter” hole, but that counters the big tech censorship, …I guess.
Never was a twatter or faceplanter, can’t see myself going that way.
Whatever fills a vacuum created by deleting twitter would simply be filled by more of the same garbage.
Truth Social has already provided a strong platform where people are speaking out candidly. The left hates it because the platform doesn’t allow bots, and rabid Leftists are few because they find they are not well received or followed at all. TS by default limits the number of followers to 7,500 unless one is considered by the management a credible and truthful high profile newsmaker, so mega-follower accounts aren’t easy to create. So again, the anti-Trump Deep State hate-Bot creators don’t like that so they constantly lie about and smear TS on other sites and platforms at every opportunity.
Corporate media and big tech monopolies, otherwise known in war as a pincer movement. With the American populace being squeezed in the middle. And we should have no compunction about describing this as a war against the citizens of this country. I can label it no other way.
War, yes. And even something worse than war — treason. That is the ultimate — war against the American people by Americans is treason! I’m trying to become more comfortable with saying that because that is the term one cannot say and apparently there is no punishment for any longer!
Treason implies blindfolds and last cigarettes. I just want the criminal conspiracy to abrogate our rights and subvert the constitution prosecuted, including confiscating the resources used in the plot. Is that too much to ask? /s
Well, yes but cart before the horse. FIRST we need to wrestle their hands off the steering wheel, and foot off the gas and brake pedals.
THEN I am all for cigarettes and blindfolds, bullet to back of head, formal or lampost hangings, pitchfork up their *ss, whatever.
But FIRST, lets get their hands of the controls, before they steer the ship right into an iceberg!
There is a certain segment of the population for which blindfolds and last cigarettes are warranted. The more time that passes without them being administered, the larger that population grows.
Say it, Deborah…I do.
Followed by the word “coup”.
The treason happened during Mr Trump’s first term. And the traitors were in every crevice of government, even unto the Oval Office itself. The coup, the ultimate treacherous, criminal act has left us living in a country not dissimilar to the worst banana republics, and headed at speed to its ultimate transformation… a global Stalinist gulag
Remember John A Stormer’s book ” None Dare Call It Treason”, in which he argued that America was losing the Cold War because it was being betrayed by its elites?
Say that word over and over…the use of it in the context of the times we find ourselves is accurate.
Asymmetric WWIV.
No big secret there! The MSM have been Fifth Columnists for a long time now.
So entertainingly and frustratingly strange it is how so many “experts,” “professionals,” and “academics” come to conclusions that many of us have known or believed for years.
I have come to the conclusion that the smartest amongst us in society are those educated (self or formal) and well read that are in the blue collar or service professions (non-governmental) and are disenfranchised from the power brokers.
I see it everyday though in the private sector also in the large corporations (publicly traded or not). The incompetent ass kissers rise in rank and are completely oblivious to common sense approaches and decision making.
The underlying 20% that SD has referred to in the past is the only glue holding those companies together.
As someone famous once said, the world is a far different place than what is presented to the masses.
Like the myth that elected politicians are both interested d in actual service and disinclined to seek personal wealth in the process.
“I shouldn’t say this but,…oh what the heck!
Some of the DUMBEST people I know, graduated College!” KL
‘The U.S. Corporate Media, and the Big Tech monopolies, are the front force of the new national security and intelligence state.’ — Sundance
Yep – it’s standard communist united front strategy.
These relations took embryonic form with Operation Mockingbird, going back as far as the 1950s, in the early days of the permanent national security state. But now they have become pervasive, with the newer electronic media – Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, et al – wholly captured.
Basically any S&P 500 corporation belonging to the Communications Services sector is a made member of the Censorship-Intelligence Axis (CIA). The list is published here:
https://www.sectorspdr.com/sectorspdr/sector/xlc/portfolio
One note of hope is that thanks to Meta/Facebook’s headlong meltdown, Communication Services is among the worst-performing stock market sectors. Let it bleed! 🙂
I was thinking the same thing when I read this story in another site earlier today.
I think the embryo stage predated Mockingbird. It dates back to the OSS, or precursor to the CIA, at the latest. The precursor to the FBI was formed in 1908, with the FBI taking shape in 1933.
Tavistock in Great Britain early 20th century – MI5 or 6 (can’t remember the specific agency) – cradle of PSYOPS
Check out books, articles, and interviews by Diane West.
It’s Mussolini’s definition of fascism, the melding of government and corporation. The US has become a fascist kleptocracy.
And this why I don’t read, watch or trust any of them.
Read only to see the latest lie or narrative being pushed.
Sundance and team, I apologize for not donating in recent weeks. Donated now, there’s no excuse regardless of the pain caused by Biden’s inflation. Thank you for all you do.

‘They are the ones who are putting these operations out there.’ – Lee Smith
It’s interesting to watch how the captured puppets of the MSM respond when the other side initiates a publicity operation.
Hours ago, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu claimed in phone calls to his counterparts in the US, Britain, France, and Turkey that Ukrainian forces are preparing a “provocation” with a radioactive device. A Kremlin statement said he conveyed a warning about possible Ukrainian provocations involving a ‘dirty bomb.’
After such a startling assertion, typically there’s a pause while the Media axis waits for a consensus to form. Often it’s shaped by a phone call from a ‘highly placed source’ in their handling agency. But of course, the insider sources also have to coordinate their united front party line.
In any event, the Ukrainian clusterfork obviously is spinning out of control, as another Russian missile volley decimates its electrical grid. The Media axis can’t ignore Shoigu’s tip, so they’ll try to dismiss it as a cover story for Russian radioactive skulduggery.
What will the Ukies do? As we know, their profile to date is one of absolute recklessness and indifference to getting caught shelling their own people and nuclear plants. Now Zelensky is berserk over his cities going dark. So tonight I’ll be keeping an eye out for an orange glow on the eastern horizon, with “Joe Biden” already sunsetting for the evening.
A senior US official on Sunday dismissed Russian claims that Ukraine is preparing to use a dirty bomb as “transparently false,” while the Pentagon chief “rejected any pretext for Russian escalation.”
https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/russia-ukraine-war-transparently-false-us-slams-russian-dirty-bomb-claims-on-ukraine-3457923?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
Theres the highly placed source.
Thx for sharing. I for one trust Russian gov’t statements more than our DC C@rtel prepared ones, or the fake news msm.
The fact is, the CIA was always integral to certain elements of the media. This isn’t new, it’s just the scope of it and the total control that those factions have achieved. That’s what’s different now.
The police state on the local level was also hatched from this alliance. 911 calls originated from the murder of Kitty Genovese in New York City in 1964. An Irish cop and a Jewish owner of I think it was the New York Post created a part mythical story about the neighbors who allegedly watched and did nothing as Kitty screamed and got stabbed. The problem is, that’s not what happened. Kitty didn’t die with any audience. There was no ‘bystander’ effect.
The same man who had defended Kitty Genovese in a criminal case as a public defender also defended her murderer several years later. That was not a coincidence in such a huge city and one in which the attorney had moved on to much bigger worlds.
The media and the government in this country, and military psychological operations, have been integrated way more than most of us want to fathom since the turn of the last century.
WOW! I remember that! OHMYGOSH!!!
Never connected the name. Will need to do some more research. TY.
Mr. Smith correctly refers to use of the term “disinformation” by the press and its allies.
It is important to view this term as a red flag and not to let it just float by. (No knock on Mr. Smith for his accurate reference.)
The point is, whenever the press or gov use this term, they might as well say, “Now I’m going to lie to you.” When the words “misinformation” and “disinformatiion” come your way, they should be received with indignation. The correct response is: “I don’t give a bleep whether it’s disinformation. Tell me whether it is true or false.”
As Sundance says, “The truth has no agenda.”
No kidding, we all know here any why!
The real story is, why hasn’t anyone done anything about it?
The guess would be Black Mail Bribes and Treason!
The thing is, THIS symbiotic relationship HAS TO BE SAID BY CANDIDATES, even former candidates who aren’t running for office.
This un-Constitutional alliance has to be first recognized by the public, then BROKEN.
We are part of the way there, with much of the country not believing a word the media says, but the source of their lies must be laid bare.
Kar Lake is helping, I think.
Jonathan Turley has been pointed out with his tweets that the DOJ is purposely leaking and, of course, using the media to do so.
Bill Barr, why do you want to save this beast? Unless you are one of its spawns?
He is exactly that.
I recently realized that after my father retired from GTE as their Chief Engineer, Bill BARR came on board with the Board of Directors to engineer the MERGER of GTE into Verizon.
If you can call that a merger. I call that consolidation.
AND , my father lost the gold healthcare insurance he was awarded when he retired.
I am no longer naive.
Lee Smith has been one of the best and most outspoken journalists for quite some time. In less than 2 minutes, he explains it for your normie friends. Great video.
How many of these govt leaks to their media operatives have had any merit?
Twitter is an Intel collector, probably for DHS.
Didn’t know about this guy. Thanks to you, I have his 2020 book on hold:
The Permanent Coup: How Enemies Foreign and Domestic Targeted the American President
by Lee Smith
I feel like we’re in one of those science fiction movies where the protagonist realizes that the artificial intelligence designed to help mankind turns against it when the AI determines humans are a threat to their own existence.
We created these intelligence agencies to help protect us and they’ve now decided that WE are the threat.
I do not know if Americans actually asked to create these agencies. They were designed by themselves and invited themselves to the party. Ask Allen Dulles.
All should read Lee Smith’s first book, “The Strong Horse: Power, Politics and the Clash of Arab Civilizations.” It gives a perceptive outline of US policy since 2001.
THIS, right here (that the MSM and Big Tech ARE intel operstions) is one of the pillars supporting the leftists.
The other is the “Uniparty strategy” of coopting BOTH parties, to maintain the appearance of a two party system.
BOTH false narratives have been exposed, and are crumbling.
Like any structure, if you take out key support pillars, gravity does the rest.
And, its HAPPENING!
I believe that there are active CIA agents on assignment in most all forms of media. Television and music certainly. Also have you noticed how narrow the advertising is on traditional Television? tons of pharmaceuticals
I totally agree. Evan McMullen is most likely still CIA. These people lie with abandon. There is no one to hold them accountable.
….tons of pharmaceuticals……
Watch any one of those commercials. After all the attractive people have their live’s changed
by whatever is being advertised, then the majority of the commercial deals with all the
side effects.
Which are life ruining. After watching the hellbent push for vaccines, it makes one wonder
if they are using every mean possible to reduce our numbers. But, only in non third world countries.
Both…think AZT. Fauci. Gates. Africa.
Re: the pharma ads
Neocons, swamp creatures and propagandists never seem to know when they’ve gone too far. The other day I spoke to my mom, who would be a card-carrying normie if there were such a thing, and she remarked that she happened to be watching network television news when it dawned on her that she felt like she was watching pharmaceutical advertisements with news stories interspersed between them. I said to her, “Yup, and that’s why you will never hear anything about ivermectin being effective at treating covid, or how the Sars-Cov-2 virus was almost certainly created in a lab in China with funding provided by our government, or about the ever growing mountain of evidence showing that the covid vaccines are deadly, in addition to being completely ineffective. Almost everything the mainstream media tells you is lies, propaganda and projection, and it’s best just to assume they’re lying to you until proven otherwise.” To my surprise, she said she thinks I might be right (which I am, obviously). In the past, my mom thought I took rather extreme views on subjects like this, and also I’m her son, so obviously I must be an idiot, but the corruption of the establishment is getting so obvious now that even she is starting to see it.
Covid taught those commanding and those attached to the power structure that they had reached a critical mass of people in all “managerial positions” of education, bureau, corporate PR and admin departments, and of course all the arts and entertainments. Plus they had gotten into the heads of many rank and file staff too.
It meant that from that point on, the powers that be could just pump out the narrative: Our intelligentsia-lauded public broadcasters are nothing more than U.N. State Run Media and the much maligned Corporate Media is, as we know, the MSM and its echoing and associated websites.
The MSM very occasionally do put out a factual story that is against the sledgehammer narrative of the UN Media and hence it is loathed by the “intellctual” adherents of the former as “right wing.”
Our current intellectuals, I always insist, think they themselves are Camus and Wittgenstein level geniuses and free thinkers. (So utterly intellectually vain, they are). They also veiw themselves as ultra-compassionate even though their compassion is only ever politically expedience.
But yes, it is down to such a fine art now that the morning talk shows, daily opinion shows, drama programs, advertisements, and everything else in the public sphere are simply an echo chamber saying: “This is what we think: This is what we think today/this week/this month/…until of course we think something else.”
Because the narrative can change quickly.
Remember the left were the original anti-vaxxers and anti-Western medicine freaks.
They flipped on a dime with the passage of Obama-care.
Antifa now taunt and laugh in your face when you talk about non-violence.
(The left were always Betas wanting to be tough bullys but scared they might get hurt)
Nemesis is the only hope-these people need a humbling, an admission of guilt and a removal from positions of power. It does seem finally that nemesis is calling.
The reformation rhymes here, no? The Catholic church could have reformed as they still had enormous goodwill from the people. They chose anger, denial and war. The Media seems in no mood to reform themselves, nor the hedge fund owners, media organisers/owners and high ranking governmentals behind them.
When ‘the View’s’ Sunny Hostin let it slip that she had worked for the DOD, I realized that EVERY show on CIATV was compromised…now, she said DOD, not DOJ, as below, HMMMMM:
Wikipoo:
“Hostin began her career as a law clerk to retired Chief Judge of the Maryland Court of Appeals Robert M. Bell and later became a trial attorney in the U.S. Department of Justice‘s Antitrust Division.[8]
Hostin left the Antitrust Division to become a federal prosecutor, specializing in child sex crimes.[9] Hostin was awarded a Special Achievement Award for her successful prosecution of sex offenders.[10] Hostin was also a Managing Director of Business Intelligence and Investigations at Kroll, the world’s leading risk-consulting company, where she led groups of investigators all over the world to investigate and uncover fraud.[11]”
WTH
“We the people…” may still hold true, but with a different meaning now. You’re ‘not’ the ‘people.’
The collusion overshadows everything we are fighting for
This started on 1/7/2017 when Tapper, Brennan, Comey all conspired with Obama/Biden/Hillary to stage a coup against Trump.
Republicans tacitly approved it. They foolishly never pushed back believing it would only help them rid the Country of Trump.
Because they never pushed back and not one was punished, Progressive have expanded this type of operation.
McCarthy might be correct in opposing further corruption of the impeach clause but he might have no choice because he might just be the next target of this type of operation.
The rise of conservative and independent media created an unholy alliance between mainstream media and the 4th branch of gvt. Liberals were too eager to feed on the narrative offered by the 4th branch in hoping to stay in the game. It’s sad. They have created a poisonous political environment that I’m not sure we can ever pull out of.
We live in a communist dystopia. It is no longer USA. The foundation has been fractured.
That’s why it is all odd and overwhelming.
A total takeover via shock and awe. We’ve been punched and before we get up, we’ve been punched again. This is pure rules for radicals and its implementer-obama admin.
Total control.
Let’s see what November brings.
God help us
https://thefederalist.com/2022/10/23/americans-identify-media-as-democracys-biggest-threat-and-the-response-proves-them-right/
FTA “Media assume the last few vestiges of the American constitutional republic are the top dangers to our freedom. But the American people know differently.
American corporate media are somewhere between a “major” and “a minor threat to democracy.” Far from a crotchety, back-bencher sentiment, this is now the opinion of a majority of the American people, according to no less than corporate media icon The New York Times.
In a poll conducted by the Siena College Research Institute and the Times from Oct. 9-12, 74 percent of the “likely voters” polled believe “democracy is currently under threat,” and 83 percent believe the corporate media themselves are the threat.”
I wasn’t in the poll but I’m with the 83%! Something has to be done the corrupt leftist msm is nothing but Democrat talking points/ideology and deep state propaganda including the need for American involvement in Ukraine war! The absolute worse is MSNBC who I believe is trying to start a race war IMHO!
CUT THE CORD!!!
Lee Smith on target again.
The threatening “Shut up or else” tone from the MSM kicked into high gear somewhere around Covid1984 and revealed a Verbal Gestapo in the aftermath of the Nov3 election terror attack, of which the MSM was, of course, an essential co-conspirator. The lowest rings of hell await these handmaidens of Deceit.
I’d say it started with the Climate Hoax
👊👊🙏🏻🙏🏻
Biden Presidency is the continuation of the Obama governing policies.
Implementing policies which Americans don’t like and actually harm them with no discussion.
Remember the Obama person who was so happy the press would just parrot what they were told?
Remember Romney (of all people) telling Obama in a national debate, “just because you say it repeatedly doesn’t make it true”?
We entered the Obama Matrix and all you know to be true is now questioned.
Like men having babies.
In the movie ‘2000 Mules’ Dennis Praeger says he reads the New York Times daily and he is agnostic on voter/election fraud. He said no Republican can win on a platform of voter/election fraud.
He is a fraud and a card carrying member of the UNIParty. He likes being with the in crowd in The Swamp. It suits him just fine. He can peddle his faux conservatism on the side and make big buck$ no matter who is installed in the White House. And probably more when they don’t have an R beside their name.
But then again, I have been putting this out there for years. I feel the same4 about Larry Elder after he “gave up” the California Governor’s recall [s]election. This is not a man who will fight for our nation, let alone a state.
They told us what they were going to do and had been doing in a live EAC telecast on 20 Oct 2020.
They were going to shut down at 10-11 PM.
Thanks for the help with shutting people down on social media. Loving it.
AP was going to call the race(s).

I noticed ‘The Circus‘ is still running on cable and decided to see who is watching it. If you are looking for real propagandists, these political action figures are them. If you feel like it, check out their reviews on imdb.com.
It’s there way of projecting their communist ideology via MASS PSYCHOSIS over many months and years. The FBI can be abolished, but the main stream media presents an even more difficult problem. If they are acting as a RICO syndicate, then they must be abolished.
Ike warned us, it was all set up by FDR, who inherited Wilson’s efforts.
Part of Fascism’s definition is big industry’s ability to control gov’t actions on a national level. We’ve been here for a while now even if the power flows in both directions. Mussolini had nothing compared to what we’re seeing here in the un-USA.
This is really the problem, isn’t it?
