8:59Now PlayingInformation and Discernment - Iran Strikes, American Soldiers Dead, and the Media is Compromised
Three US service members confirmed dead, five more severely injured as Iran follows through on threats against American and Israeli targets. Hawk examines what this escalating conflict with Iran really means when the media covering it can no longer be trusted. Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle and the largest single private donor to the IDF, is moving to acquire CNN while already holding a significant ownership stake in TikTok. Bari Weiss controls CBS News. With Zionist-aligned ownership consolidating roughly 25% of American media, the question of who controls the narrative around this war becomes urgent.
Jonathan Greenblatt of the Anti-Defamation League was recorded saying there was a "TikTok problem" after October 7th, 2023, because too much footage from inside Gaza was reaching the public. That same platform is now under Ellison's influence. Twitter, under Elon Musk, has become a tool of information control. Mark Zuckerberg's platforms are compromised in their own ways.
Donald Trump is threatening Iran with force "never seen before" while his own senior military advisors, during his first term, had to talk him out of asking why nuclear weapons weren't being used. Pete Hegseth and the current administration offer no such guardrails.
The Iranian government lies. The Israeli government lies. The US government lies. With every major information channel now under the influence of people with direct financial and ideological stakes in this conflict, Americans are left holding devices with access to all of human knowledge, unable to trust a single thing being generated today.
