How the World’s Biggest Brands Seek to Control Free Speech

The scope of the the power of the groupthink machine created to leverage control and manipulate our thoughts (and ultimately YOU) is astounding! They want to control your every thought... just like in Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984.
Who is GARM? From Medium.com, the non-profit Global Alliance for Responsible Media:
|
“GARM is comprised of an advertiser-centric community of global brands, media agencies, media owners and platforms, and industry bodies focused on effectively reducing the availability and monetization of harmful content. Alliance members acknowledge their collective power to improve safety for consumers and brands. Together, they have identified concrete initiatives, created shared processes and common protocols for protecting people and brands. GARM’s founding members coalesced from active participation in the World Federation of Advertisers. The ANA CMO Growth Council, a member of the WFA, will champion the alliance.

The members of the WFA represent roughly 90% of global advertising spending, or almost one trillion dollars annually.
|
Over 55 Global Brands and Advertisers were included within GARM, including YouTube, Facebook, Bank of America, Bayer, Discover, Fiat Chrysler, General Mills, GM, GSK, Hershey, HP, Johnson & Johnson, Kellogg, LEGO, Mars, Inc., MasterCard, McDonalds, Microsoft, NBC Universal, Nestle, Proctor & Gamble, PepsiCo, Philips, Shell, Sony, Unilever, and Yum! Brands.

Although the claim is to create a cross-industry initiative to protect against harmful content, you must ask who is defining “harmful content.” GARM also pushes members to use a news ranking organization like the British Global Disinformation Index (GDI) which, as you can guess, labels any news that might be to the right-of-center as misinformation. By the way, the GDI is subsidized by the U.S. State Department (our tax dollars). GARM’s real intent is to go woke or go broke.
In a few examples, GARM directed its members to boycott Twitter after Elon Musk acquired the company. GroupM, a GARM Steer Team member, attempted to pressure Spotify into censoring Joe Rogan due to his views on the Covid vaccine. A campaign ad for Trump has also been the target of GARM.
As the victim of such targeting by the lef-twing groupthink machine, Elon Musk’s X and social media platform Rumble have brought an antitrust suit against GARM and the WFA. Under this threat GARM has formally ceased operations. The bad news is the WFA is moving forward. The worse news is the groupthink machine is already imbedded and now, they are taking steps to employ artificial intelligence to further enhance their thought guidance and control.

A big win for the First Amendment: The House of Representatives’ Judiciary Committee issued a report outlining apparent collusion to encourage coordinated action to demonetize platforms, podcasts, news outlets and other content disfavored by GARM.

You are looking at merely the tip of the iceberg. This is the same woke mindset that has overtaken schools from pre-K through college, many churches and nearly every other facet of life that might require thought guidance. Will there be any escape? Will the next generation even be capable of reason and free thought, or will they succumb to their slavery, incapable of questioning their programming?
