Announcing our first 24/7 cable TV station <-- BreakTheMatrix TV

As most Ron Paul supporters now understand, it is the elitist media stranglehold on public opinion that is the biggest obstacle to real change and governmental reform. Consider this quote:

"Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have."
- Richard Salent, former president, CBS News

The masses are led by their noses because of their addiction to the boob tube, and that is why "Break The Matrix TV" is such an important part of the Ron Paul rEVOLution, and why I continue to cover their developments here at Ozarks Voters For Ron Paul. - Bruce

-------------------------------------------------------


Basic Media, Inc. (Break the Matrix TV) establishes strategic partnership with cable operator… seeks to expand.


Basic Media, Inc.’s new Break the Matrix TV channel has been picked up by independent cable operator Bay Country Communications, Inc., headquartered in East New Market, MD.

The initial launch of Break the Matrix TV will aggregate documentaries, video segments, news programming, and commentary from a variety of sources into a 24/7 broadcast network. After the initial launch, the scope of the channel will be expanded to include original television programming created and produced by Basic Media, Inc. Currently, six original shows are in the planning stages.

Revolutionary Approach

Basic Media, Inc. has adopted a revolutionary approach to get Break the Matrix TV programming to market at an accelerated pace. A key element of their approach involves offering the first round of content to independent cable providers, who serve more than 12 million households nationwide.

COO Trevor Lyman explains, “Our partnership with Bay Country Communications is an exciting first step in affirming the viability of our grassroots-inspired ground-up approach. BCCTV Vice President and co-founder Scott Shilling immediately recognized the value our programming will add to his current channel lineup. He was thrilled that his customers would have access to content that wouldn’t be available to Comcast customers in the area.”

Growth Potential

Across the United States, more than 1100 independent cable providers offer customers an alternative to the monolithic major communications conglomerates so diligently monitoring and controlling the programming they broadcast. Building on the success of Break the Matrix TV’s launch on the Bay Country Communications network, Basic Media, Inc. will execute similar broadcasting contracts with independent cable operators across the nation.

“We’re asking people to help spread the message by creating an account at http://www.BreakTheMatrix.com and indicating their willingness to switch to the independent provider in their area, should the company choose to carry our programming.” says Shelly Roche of Basic Media, Inc. “We’ll be able to approach potential cable partners with a list of pledged subscribers as additional evidence of the value our content will bring to their lineup. With the continued help and support of our community, we are confident we can quickly reach more than 12 million households across the nation.”

Break The Matrix - Update

Just a quick update to let y'all know that "Break The Matrix" has taken it's next step forward, adding (yet another) social networking site for Ron Paul supporters to meet & exchange ideas.

Why bother? Because hopefully this will become much more than "(yet another) social networking site." The goals that Trevor Lyman (yes, the "moneybomb guy") and crew have for "Break The Matrix" are actually something more than the usual efforts:

"Very simply, we are building our "BreakTheMatrix" media company to produce and transmit a wide ranging array of interesting and entertaining media content through BTM radio and television networks."
- Rick Williams CEO of Basic media, Inc. (parent company of "Break The Matrix")

Notice the key goal of forming "radio and television networks."

One thing that we have all hopefully learned by now is that the ignorant masses are blindly led by the so-called "mainstream media" (MSM). What many people do not realize is that 99% of television channels and most of the FM radio stations are all owned by just SIX "media conglomerates." Think about that...

When it is all boiled down to the essence: Only 6 men (and their cronies) run the companies and "provide the direction" for everything most Americans see and hear. These 6 men may have petty rivalries between them, but they are all in general agreement concerning their elitist "Bilderberg-esque" goals.

There can be no change in "public opinion" when the "public" only hears half the story - or gets just one side of the debate - or is told that only MSM-approved candidates can win a particular election. Apparently, a very large majority of Americans still foolishly trust these media giants, and there is no end in sight to their addiction for TV and radio entertainment.

So, if you want real change, it is necessary to take the battle off the Internet (where we have already won) and on to the airwaves, where the elite currently control virtually all sides of the "national discussion." That is the direction "Break The Matrix" and Basic Media, Inc. seems to be heading. If you agree with that direction, get yourself a free user account there, visit the site regularly, then log on to moderate up the good ideas (and, just as importantly - moderate down the idiots and professional noisemakers). This way, hopefully soon the ideas and information from the Internet site will be ready to take beyond the PC and onto radio & TV... So the drooling masses will at least have the option to hear the truth if they bother to listen and think for a change.

Will it work? God only knows.

Is it worth a try? Sure it is.

Set up your user account today, and why not add me to your friend/contact list while you're at it...

"Truth is Treason in the Empire of Lies"


The Revolution: A Manifesto
by Ron Paul

(Hardcover due to be released April 30.
Pre-order at Amazon.com today.)


GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul's eagerly awaited new book, "The Revolution: A Manifesto" is already rising to the top of the charts in pre-release sales. The Ron Paul Revolution among millions of dedicated Americans from every age, socioeconomic, ethno-cultural background is a true political phenomenon.

From the book preface:

Every election cycle we are treated to candidates who promise us "change," and 2008 has been no different. But in the American political lexicon, "change" always means more of the same: more government, more looting of Americans, more inflation, more police-state measures, more unnecessary war, and more centralization of power.

Real change would mean something like the opposite of those things. It might even involve following our Constitution. And that's the one option Americans are never permitted to hear....

With national bankruptcy looming, politicians from both parties continue to make multi-trillion dollar promises of "free" goods from the government, and hardly a soul wonders if we can still afford to have troops in - this is not a misprint - 130 countries around the world. All of this is going to come to an end sooner or later, because financial reality is going to make itself felt in very uncomfortable ways. But instead of thinking about what this means for how we conduct our foreign and domestic affairs, our chattering classes seem incapable of speaking in anything but the emptiest platitudes, when they can be bothered to address serious issues at all. Fundamental questions like this, and countless others besides, are off the table in our mainstream media, which focuses our attention on trivialities and phony debates as we march toward oblivion.

This is the deadening consensus that crosses party lines, that dominates our major media, and that is strangling the liberty and prosperity that were once the birthright of Americans. Dissenters who tell their fellow citizens what is really going on are subject to smear campaigns that, like clockwork, are aimed at the political heretic. Truth is treason in the empire of lies.

There is an alternative to national bankruptcy, a bigger police state, trillion-dollar wars, and a government that draws ever more parasitically on the productive energies of the American people. It's called freedom. But as we've learned through hard experience, we are not going to hear a word in its favor if our political and media establishments have anything to say about it.

If we want to live in a free society, we need to break free from these artificial limitations on free debate and start asking serious questions once again. I am happy that my campaign for the presidency has finally raised some of them. But this is a long-term project that will persist far into the future. These ideas cannot be allowed to die, buried beneath the mind-numbing chorus of empty slogans and inanities that constitute official political discourse in America.

That is why I wrote this book.

~ Ron Paul

Understanding the Media bias

More and more of us everyday are learning to see through their tricks, but some still don't get it (yet).

Almost every time I read on a Ron Paul supporter's blog or website how supposedly "positive" a new MSM article about or TV interview with Ron Paul is, and then actually READ or SEE what the MSM has done, I have to wonder when enough of us are going to wake up and realize this:

The Big Elitist MainStream Media is America's #1 Enemy right now.

I know I often repeat this, and I recently have even been criticized by a certain few people online for [to paraphrase] "constantly gnawing this bone that I have to pick with the MSM." But the reason I do is in part because understanding the Media's underhanded role in this election is essential to getting Ron Paul elected. Why you may ask? Goethe answered it best...

"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."

If you don't see how the MSM is manipulating you, you'll never be free of that manipulation.


I want you to be free, therefore I will continue to point out their deception, and call for the overthrow of their control. If you don't see their manipulations, it will be much more difficult, if not impossible, to free others from that grip, and to achieve our most important short-term goal: To elect Ron Paul as president.

For whatever reason, even people smart & wise enough to realize what an excellent President Ron Paul would make, still refuse to "take the red pill" and see the truth about the media.

To those that don't yet understand, please take time to learn why this is important:

The media is the greatest manipulator of public opinion in America. The media is controlled by a half-dozen or so mega-conglomerates (owning over 90% of all TV channels and almost that high a percentage of newspapers and magazines). Those few that control the media are all of a like mind (not really a "conspiracy" - but more of a general agreement of purpose). That purpose is to gain power, riches and influence, and to maintain the status quo that has rewarded them with these riches beyond all reason. Their purpose is to support their elitist friends, and their elitist agenda, which is to expand their power to the point where one day they control the entire globe (and they are closer to achieving it than you probably think). THAT the reason they do everything possible to thwart Dr. Paul...

Ron Paul isn't controlled by the elite (unlike all the other frontrunner (D) or (R) candidates), and Dr. Paul has proven that he is steadfastly incorruptible for over 30 years. Even worse than the fact that he is "uncontrollable" by the elite, Dr. Paul also will do everything in his power to return to a law-abiding, constitutional government, and to strengthen America in every way... And THAT will not only slow (or perhaps even stop) the elite's plans for a global one-world government (controlled by the few elites, of course), it will also reduce their power, influence, and perhaps even riches! And that is something they cannot abide!

So, through their complete control of the MainStream Media, the orders have gone down through the rank and file of the wannabe-elitists who have sold their soul to their masters: "Do everything you can to undermine Ron Paul's campaign."

First, they tried to ignore him. But with tens of thousands (or more) of tireless grassroots supporters getting Ron Paul's name out in every way possible, ignoring him soon wasn't enough....

Then, they started to attack him. Not "too" openly (with some exceptions), lest their horrible bias become so obvious that even the average entertainment-addled public skool graduate couldn't miss it. But as some of them are actually capable of the art of manipulation, they carefully craft ways to use words and images that turn away people who would otherwise support Ron Paul. Note how most images of him the media uses are not the friendly, kindly-faced man that we know Ron Paul to be, but instead are scowling, angry, or otherwise negative in appearance. And they never miss an opportunity to say "he may have [insert something amazing here - like breaking donation records], but he still can't win." That is an old and devious tactic (wholly unsupported by reason or logic), that unfortunately sinks in to Joe and Jane Average if they hear it enough times - UNLESS we refute it with the truth often enough through our own efforts, and those of Dr. Paul's campaign.

The few hundred super-elites are America's (and all patriot's) worst long-term enemy. It is they who are the generals... The puppet-masters of the MainStream Media. But it is the MSM that is the most dangerous short-term threat, as they are the ground troops battling in the elite's very real war to destroy The United States of America, and create their "New World Order" - with those same unelected super-elites at the top, pulling everyone's strings.

Our would-be puppetmasters will be stopped, eventually. History has proven that all empires must fall - collapsing under their own weight. No amount of technology or crafty intelligence can prevent it. The only question remains: When?

The elites know that a President Ron Paul will derail their plans, that is why they use their MSM to try to prevent it.

And that is why WE must do everything in our power to elect Ron Paul.

This isn't just an election, it is war between the elite and everyone else. We cannot allow ourselves to fail...

Do whatever it takes to beat the MSM in these next few months!

OUTRAGE! Big Media "gatekeepers" Spin yet another poll

Read it and scream:
http://www.cnbc.com/id/21257762

In a post dated Oct.. 11th 7:21PM ET, Allen Wastler (Managing Editor, CNBC.com) tried to spin the poll shenanigans...

An Open Letter to the Ron Paul Faithful
http://www.cnbc.com/id/21257762

Excerpts:
"...I haven't seen him [Ron Paul] pull those kind of numbers in any "legit" poll. Our poll was either hacked or the target of a campaign. So we took the poll down."

"But you also ruined the purpose of the poll. It was no longer an honest "show of hands" -- it suddenly was a platform for beating the Ron Paul drum. That certainly wasn't our intention and certainly doesn't serve our readers ..."

I guess they don't consider anything that doesn't support their self-annoited frontrunners "legit" - even ones conducted OFF-LINE by county Republican parties - where Ron Paul has dominated.
See: http://www.ronpaul2008.com/straw-poll-results/


I urge you to read between the lines of these shallow platitudes.

1: They didn't like the results they were getting.

2: They were worried that Ron Paul might gain some positive traction from the results.

3: They tried to sweep the results under the rug to serve their elitist masters.

4: They've been swamped with responses from outraged (and hopefully now FORMER) viewers, and are puckering up to our "cheeks" to try to stop the avalanche already in progress.

Folks, this is just typical of Big Media. They want it all their way. They are owned (literally) lock, stock and barrel by the elite few that run this country, and they will do anything to retain their power. They recognize that Ron Paul is a threat to their continued gravy train. And they'll do anything to stop him. Taking down favorable polls is just one of the first steps...

Americans: You need to recognize your true emeny! It isn't the taliban, al-qaeda, the communist chinese, or anything the Big Media tells you to fear... The TRUE ENEMY is the elitist-run BIG MEDIA themselves! The major media (run by less than a dozen companies) have been manipulating you with the aid of, and to the benefit of their elitist masters.

If you don't recognize how serious this is, you need a big wake-up call. Before you dismiss my OUTRAGE here as "extreme" - consider for a few minutes what the Big "MainStream Media" and their elite masters (such as the CFR) are doing to you, and the country you claim to cherish.

If, like many of us, you've taken an oath to protect and defend the constitution of the United States (from enemies BOTH foreign AND DOMESTIC), then you need to re-focus TODAY on your true enemies: The elitists and their propaganda wing... The "MainStream Media."

If you agree with me, then express YOUR outrage to these would-be "gatekeepers" - starting with Mr. Wastler at: politicalcapital@cnbc.com - and continue the fight onward from there...

If you still don't agree with me, don't bother commenting on this to say how it's just a misunderstanding... And I really shouldn't be so reactionary... And I really should calm down... Don't bother doing anything at all. To paraphrase Samual Adams: "We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

To all other true patriots: Don't relent... Keep the heat on the Media in EVERY way possible. Don't let them sweep Ron Paul under the rug. When (not IF) Ron Paul wins one or more of the January primary elections, big media will go on full-attack mode to ruin Ron Paul. (Don't pretend otherwise - it is THEIR necks that will go to the chopping block if he is elected, and they know it.)

Show CNBC what our "blowback" is... Donate some extra $$$ to Ron Paul TODAY, and show Big Media what a jump in donations Ron Paul gets when they attack him.

Don't forget to join and participate in your local Ron Paul Meetup group. Don't be discouraged by anything your would-be masters on TV tell you - keep getting the truth out about Ron Paul. He SHOULD WIN, and he CAN WIN with our help. DO IT TODAY. For the future of you, your family and loved ones.
