“We have got to nurture the spirit of independent journalism in this country, or we’ll not save capitalism from its own excesses, and we’ll not save democracy from its own inertia.”

Bill Moyers, journalist.

“There is no more important struggle for American Democracy than insuring a diverse, independent and free media.”

Bill Moyers, journalist.

“RaceTrac-Whatever Gets You Going.” That brand and tagline is a combination that illustrates how taglines in support of a brand can be marvelous things when they are done well and transparently. For the Washington, D.C. trade group known by the acronym MHARR: “Preserving the American Dream of Home Ownership Through Regulatory Reform” speaks volumes. What “Shock and Awe” ought to remind us of is that not all brands, organizations, and individual leaders are transparent. Just because some person or group makes a claim that doesn’t necessarily mean the claim is accurate. Reputations – good or bad – are often earned. Some people or groups can be “branded” – to borrow a rancher’s expression – by labeling a target in a manner that may or may not be merited. It is up to each reader to test claims to see if they stand up to scrutiny. In an era when so-called corporate media in America can be a tool for those who wield economic power and thus political influence it is necessary for individuals to be media and tech savvy and as objective and critical as possible. This mashup will show what the Dark Alliance story by the late journalist Gary Webb revealed about how much of the mainstream media, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), or other organs of government, then or now, have been documented at times to work in tandem. That well-documented case of Webb and the CIA will be used as a pivot to make several potentially related points on headline topics including the transcript and video of President Trump’s address to the United Nations (Part I). Among the claims often made in recent months is that Trump represents American oligarchs. Be that as it may, that too will be considered in the course of this facts-evidence-analysis (FEA) mashup.

When voices in media like Bill Moyers express insights as in the quotes above, those an important clue that reports and journalism ought to be approached with a degree of skepticism.

• Does an article provide evidence in support of its claims?
• Is what Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky called the propaganda model of media at work?
• If what Edward Bernays revealed about the propaganda and researchers Herman and Chomsky ‘propaganda model of media’ are at work, how is it applied in a given story, including this one?
• Whose agenda is being promoted and why?
• Was Peter Thiel’s observation about President Donald J. Trump – to take him seriously but not literally – accurate?
• What exactly is a fascist, and is labeling Trump a fascist supported by evidence?
• Was Trump’s address to the United Nations a wake-up call or the rants of what his enemies call a tyrant and fascist?

That and more will be unpacked in this mashup using MHProNews’ facts-evidence-analysis (FEA) template provides original sources in their own voices and then deploying human insights combined with artificial intelligence (AI), not to generate an article, but rather as a fact-checking tool that may have its own documented bias, but if used with precision, AI can shed a unique light precisely because AI can consume large amounts of information and apply logic or reasoning to see where the truth may be on a given subject.

Perhaps one of the more important political, media, and historic documentaries of the 21st century is the acclaimed full-length version of Shadows of Liberty. It is in that docu-drama that the nexus of media-corporate-political power is exposed. Gary Webb’s story is among them, but a new short on Webb and the CIA will be provided in Part III.

As this is primarily a news platform focused on affordable manufactured housing, why are these topics being presented at all is a fair question. Here is a short answer. HUD Code manufactured housing has been demonstrably sidelined in the 21st century. Topics like the power of giant conglomerates, big corporations, and sometimes huge asset managers that can be in billions-to-trillions of dollars merits exposure. Why is inherently affordable manufactured housing struggling during a well-documented affordable housing crisis when favorable laws exist and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) has repeatedly admitted it can’t solve the U.S. housing crisis without subsidies. The math and history demonstrate that subsidies may help some short term, but have not proven to be long-term solution for the tens of millions who don’t get federal or other help. More on those topics in Part V.

Note that MHProNews provides original sources in their own words. This is an important aspect of the FEA model of journalism. Our readers aren’t getting someone’s filter; readers like you are getting the original source properly cited as linked and/or shown. This method is more detailed and thus longer than some summarized blip that may or may not be faithful or fair.

On important topics readers ought to know the specifics.

So, to borrow the RaceTrac slogan, depending on the time of day, grab your preferred beverage and/or snack: “Whatever Gets You Going.” Then, let’s dive in.

Rev transcripts Trump UN speech

Speaker 1 (00:02):

The Assembly will hear an address by His Excellency, Donald Trump, President of the United States of America. I request protocol to escort His Excellency and invite him to address the Assembly.

US President Donald Trump (00:27):

Thank you very much, very much appreciated. And I don’t mind making the speech without a teleprompter, because the teleprompter is not working. I feel very happy to be up here with you nevertheless, and that way you speak more from the heart. I can only say that whoever’s operating this teleprompter is in big trouble. Hello, Madam First Lady. Thank you very much for being here. Madam President, Mr. Secretary General, First Lady of the United States, distinguished delegates, ambassadors, and world leaders. Six years have passed since I last stood in this grand hall and addressed a world that was prosperous and at peace in my first term. Since that day, the guns of war have shattered the peace I forged on two continents. An era of calm and stability gave way to one of the great crises of our time. And here the United States, four years of weakness, lawlessness, and radicalism under the last administration delivered our nation into a repeated set of disasters. One year ago, our country was in deep trouble, but today, just eight months into my administration, we are the hottest country anywhere in the world and there is no other country even close. America is blessed with the strongest economy, the strongest borders, the strongest military, the strongest friendships, and the strongest spirit of any nation on the face of the earth.

(02:53)
This is indeed, the golden age of America. We are rapidly reversing the economic calamity we inherited from the previous administration, including ruinous price increases and record-setting inflation, inflation like we’ve never had before. Under my leadership, energy costs are down, gasoline prices are down, grocery prices are down, mortgage rates are down, and inflation has been defeated. The only thing that’s up is the stock market, which just hit a record high. In fact, it hit a record high 48 times in the last short period of time. Growth is surging. Manufacturing is booming. The stock market, as I said, is doing better than it’s ever done. And all of you in this room benefit by that, almost everybody. And importantly, workers wages are rising at the fastest pace in more than 60 years, and that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? In four years of President Biden, we had less than $1 trillion of new investment into the United States.

(04:13)
In just eight months since I took office, we have secured commitments and money already paid for $17 trillion. Think of it, four years, less than a trillion. Eight months, much more than $17 trillion is being invested in the United States, and it’s now pouring in from all parts of the world. We’ve implemented the largest tax cuts in American history and the largest regulation cuts in American history, making this once and again, the best country on earth to do business. And many of the people in this room are investing in America, and it’s turned out to be an awfully good investment during this eight month period. In my first term, I built the greatest economy in the history of the world. We had the best economy ever, history of the world, and I’m doing the same thing again, but this time it’s actually much bigger and even better. The numbers far surpass my record-setting first term.

(05:21)
On our southern border, we have successfully repelled a colossal invasion. And for the last four months, and that’s four months in a row, the number of illegal aliens admitted and entering our country has been zero. Hard to believe, because if you look back just a year ago, it was millions and millions of people pouring in from all over the world, from prisons, from mental institutions, drug dealers, all over the world they came, they just poured into our country with the ridiculous open-border policy of the Biden administration. Our message is very simple. If you come illegally into the United States, you’re going to jail or you’re going back to where you came from, or perhaps even further than that, you know what that means.

(06:15)
I want thank the country of El Salvador for the successful and professional job they’ve done in receiving and jailing so many criminals that entered our country, and it was under the previous administration that the number became record-setting, and they’re all being taken out. We have no choice, and other countries have no choice because other countries are in the exact same situation with immigration. It’s destroying your country and you have to do something about it. On the world stage, America is respected again like it has never been respected before. You think about two years ago, three years ago, four years ago, or one year ago, we were a laughingstock all over the world. At the NATO summit in June, virtually all NATO members formally committed to increased defense spending at my request from 2% to 5% of GDP, making our alliance far stronger and more powerful than it was ever before.

(07:25)
In May, I traveled to the Middle East to visit my friends and rebuild our partnerships in the Gulf, and those valued relationships with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE and other countries are now, I believe, closer than ever before. My administration has negotiated one historic trade deal after another, including with the United Kingdom, the European Union, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and many, many others. Likewise, in a period of just seven months, I have ended seven unendable wars. They said they were unendable. You’re never going to get them solved. Some were going for 31 years, two of them, 31, you think of it, 31 years. One was 36 years, one was 28 years. I ended seven wars. And in all cases, they were raging with countless thousands of people being killed. This includes Cambodia and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia, the Congo and Rwanda, a vicious, violent war that was. Pakistan and India, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Armenia and Azerbaijan.

(08:51)
It included all of them. No president or prime minister. And for that matter, no other country has ever done anything close to that, and I did it in just seven months. It’s never happened before. There’s never been anything like that. Very honored to have done it. It’s too bad that I had to do these things instead of the United Nations doing them. And sadly, in all cases, the United Nations did not even try to help in any of them. I ended seven wars, dealt with the leaders of each and every one of these countries, and never even received a phone call from the United Nations offering to help in finalizing the deal. All I got from the United Nations was an escalator that on the way up stopped right in the middle. If the First Lady wasn’t in great shape, she would’ve fallen. But she’s in great shape.

(09:51)
We’re both in good shape, we both stood. And then a teleprompter that didn’t work. These are the two things I got from the United Nations, a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter. Thank you very much. And by the way, it’s working now. It just went on. Thank you. I think I should just do it the other way. It’s easier. Thank you very much. I didn’t think of it at the time because I was too busy working to save millions of lives, that is the saving and stopping of these wars, but later I realized that the United Nations wasn’t there for us. They weren’t there. I thought of it really after the fact, not during. Not during these negotiations, which were not easy. That being the case, what is the purpose of the United Nations? The UN is such tremendous potential. I’ve always said it. It has such tremendous, tremendous potential, but it’s not even coming close to living up to that potential. For the most part, at least for now, all they seem to do is write a really strongly worded letter and then never follow that letter up.

(11:05)
It’s empty words and empty words don’t solve war. The only thing that solves war and wars is action. Now, after ending all of these wars and also earlier negotiating the Abraham Accords, which is a very big thing for which our country received no credit, never receives credit. Everyone says that I should get the Nobel Peace Prize for each one of these achievements, but for me, the real prize will be the sons and daughters who live to grow up with the mothers and fathers because millions of people are no longer being killed in endless and un-glorious wars. What I care about is not winning prizes. It’s saving lives. We saved millions and millions of lives with the seven wars, and we have others that we’re working on and you know that. Many years ago, a very successful real estate developer in New York, known as Donald J. Trump, I bid on the renovation and rebuilding of this very United Nations complex.

(12:14)
I remember it so well. I said at the time that I would do it for $500 million, rebuilding everything. It would be beautiful. I used to talk about, “I’m going to give you marble floors, they’re going to give you terrazzo.” The best of everything. “You’re going to have mahogany walls, they’re going to give you plastic.” But they decided to go in another direction, which was much more expensive at the time, which actually produced a far inferior product. And I realized that they did not know what they were doing when it came to construction and that their building concepts were so wrong, and the product that they were proposing to build was so bad and so costly, it was going to cost them a fortune. And I said, “And wait until you see the overruns.” Well, I turned out to be right. They had massive cost overruns and spent between two and $4 billion on the building and did not even get the marble floors that I promised them.

(13:15)
You walk on terrazzo. Do you notice that? As far as I’m concerned, frankly, looking at the building and getting stuck on the escalator, they still haven’t finished the job. They still haven’t finished. That was years ago. The project was so corrupt that Congress actually asked me to testify before them on the tremendous waste of money because it turned out that they had no idea what it was, but they knew it was anywhere between two and $4 billion as opposed to 500 million with a guarantee, but they had no idea. And I said, “It costs much more than $5 billion.” Unfortunately, many things in the United Nations are happening just like that, but on an even much bigger scale, much, much bigger.

(14:04)
Very sad to see whether the UN can manage to play a productive role. I’ve come here today to offer the hand of American leadership and friendship to any nation in this assembly that is willing to join us in forging a safer, more prosperous world. And it’s a world that we’ll be much happier with. A dramatically better future is within our reach, but to get there, we must reject the failed approaches of the past and work together to confront some of the greatest threats in history. There is no more serious danger to our planet today than the most powerful and destructive weapons ever devised by man of which the United States, as you know, has many. Just as I did in my first term. I’ve made containing these

US President Donald Trump (15:00):

… these threats a top priority, starting with a nation of Iran. My position is very simple, the world’s number one sponsor of terror can never be allowed to possess the most dangerous weapon. That’s why shortly after taking office, I sent the so-called Supreme Leader a letter making a generous offer. I extended a pledge of full cooperation in exchange for a suspension of Iran’s nuclear program. The regime’s answer was to continue their constant threats to their neighbors and US interests throughout the region and some great countries that are right nearby. Today, many of Iran’s former military commanders, in fact, I can say almost all of them are no longer with us, they’re dead. And three months ago in Operation Midnight Hammer seven American B-2 bombers dropped the 14 30,000 pound H-bombs on Iran’s key nuclear facility totally obliterating everything. No other country on earth could have done what we did. No other country has the equipment to do what we did. We have the greatest weapons on earth. We hate to use them, but we did something that for 22 years people wanted to do.

(16:25)
With Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity demolished, I immediately brokered an end to the 12-day war, as it’s called, between Israel and Iran, with both sides agreeing to fight no longer.

(16:40)
As everyone knows, I have also been deeply engaged in seeking a ceasefire in Gaza, we have to get that done, have to get it done. Unfortunately, Hamas has repeatedly rejected reasonable offers to make peace, and we can’t forget October 7th, can we? Now, as if to encourage continued conflict, some of this body is seeking to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state. The rewards would be too great for Hamas terrorists for their atrocities. This would be a reward for these horrible atrocities, including October 7th, even while they refuse to release the hostages or accept a ceasefire instead of giving to Hamas and giving so much because they’ve taken so much, they have taken so much, this could have been solved so long ago, but instead of giving in to Hamas ransom demands, those who want peace should be united with one message, release the hostages now. Just release the hostages now. Thank you.

(18:03)
As we have got to come together, and we will come together, got to get it done, we have to stop the war in Gaza immediately. We have to stop it. We have to get it done. We have to negotiate, immediately, have to negotiate peace. We got to get the hostages back. We want all 20 back. We don’t want two and four. As you know, I got, along with Steve Witkoff and others that helped us, Marco Rubio, we got most of them back. We were involved in all of them, but I always said, the last 20 are going to be the hardest, and that’s exactly what happened. We have to get them back now. We don’t want to get back two and then another two and then one, and then three and have this process. No, we want them all back.

(18:45)
And we want the actually 38 dead bodies back too. Those parents came to me and they want them back, and they want them back very quickly and very badly, as though they were alive. They want them. They want them every bit as much as if their son or daughter were alive.

(19:02)
I’ve also been working relentlessly stopping the killing in Ukraine. I thought that would be, of the seven wars that I stopped, I thought that would be the easiest because of my relationship with President Putin, which had always been a good one. I thought that was going to be the easiest one. But in war, you never know what’s going to happen. There are always lots of surprises, both good and bad. Everyone thought Russia would win this war in three days, but it didn’t work out that way. It was supposed to be just a quick little skirmish. It’s not making Russia look good, it’s making them look bad.

(19:43)
No matter what happens from here on out, this was something that should have taken a matter of days, certainly less than a week, and they’ve been fighting for three and a half years and killing anywhere from 5 to 7,000, young soldiers, mostly, mostly soldiers on both sides, every single week from 5 to 7,000 dead young people. And some in cities, much smaller numbers where rockets are shot, where drones are dropped. This war would never have started if I were president. This was a war that should have never happened. It shows you what leadership is, what bad leadership can do to a country. Look what happened to the United States and look where we are right now in just a short period of time. The only question now is how many more lives will be needlessly lost on both sides.

(20:40)
China and India are the primary funders of the ongoing war by continuing to purchase Russian oil. But inexcusably, even NATO countries have not cut off much Russian energy and Russian energy products, which as you know, I found out about two weeks ago and I wasn’t happy. Think of it, they’re funding the war against themselves. Who the hell ever heard of that one? In the event that Russia is not ready to make a deal to end the war, then the United States is fully prepared to impose a very strong round of powerful tariffs, which would stop the bloodshed, I believe very quickly. But for those tariffs to be effective, European nations, all of you are gathered here right now, would have to join us in adopting the exact same measures. I mean, you’re much closer to the city. We have an ocean in between, you’re right there, and Europe has to step it up. They can’t be doing what they’re doing. They’re buying oil and gas from Russia while they’re fighting Russia.

(21:51)
It’s embarrassing to them, and it was very embarrassing to them when I found out about it. I can tell you that. But they have to immediately cease all energy purchases from Russia. Otherwise, we’re all wasting a lot of time. So I’m ready to discuss this. We’re going to discuss it today with the European nations all gathered here. I’m sure they’re thrilled to hear me speak about it, but that’s the way it is. I like to speak my mind and speak the truth.

(22:20)
As we seek to reduce the threat of dangerous weapons today. I’m also calling on every nation to join us in ending the development of biological weapons once and for all, and biological is terrible and nuclear is even beyond, and we include nuclear in that. We want to have a cessation of the development of nuclear weapons. We know and I know and I get to view it all the time, “Sir, would you like to see?” And I look at weapons that are so powerful that we just can’t ever use them. If we ever use them, the world literally might come to an end. There would be no United Nations to be talking about. There would be no nothing.

(23:06)
Just a few years ago, reckless experiments overseas gave us a devastating global pandemic, yet despite that worldwide catastrophe, many countries are continuing extremely risky research into bio-weapons and man-made pathogens. This is unbelievably dangerous. To prevent potential disasters I’m announcing today that my administration will lead a international effort to enforce biological weapons convention, which is going to be meeting with the top leaders of the world by pioneering an AI verification system that everyone can trust. Hopefully the UN can play a constructive role and it will also go, be one of the early projects under AI. Let’s see how good it is because a lot of people saying it could be one of the great things ever, but it also can be dangerous, but it could be put to tremendous use and tremendous good, and this would be an example of that.

(24:06)
Not only is the UN not solving the problems it should, too often, it’s actually creating new problems for us to solve. The best example is the number one political issue of our time, the crisis of uncontrolled migration. It’s uncontrolled. Your countries are being ruined. The United Nations is funding an assault on Western countries and their borders. In 2024, the UN budgeted $372 million in cash assistance to support an estimated 624,000 migrants journeying into the United States. Think of that, the UN is supporting people that are illegally coming into the United States, and then we have to get them out. The UN also provided food, shelter, transportation, and debit cards to illegal aliens, can you believe that, on the way to infiltrate our southern border.

(25:04)
Millions of people came through that southern border. Just a year ago, millions and millions of people were pouring in, 25 million altogether over the four years of the incompetent Biden administration, and now we have it stopped. Totally stopped. In fact, they’re not even coming anymore because they know they can’t get through. But what took place is totally unacceptable. The UN is supposed to stop invasions, not create them and not finance them. In the United States, we reject the idea that mass numbers of people from foreign lands can be permitted to travel halfway around the world, trample our borders, violate our sovereignty, cause unmitigated crime, and deplete our social safety net.

(25:51)
We have reasserted that America belongs to the American people, and I encourage all countries to take their own stand in defense of their citizens as well. You have to do that because I see it. I’m not mentioning names. I see it and I can call every single one of them out. You’re destroying your countries. They’re being destroyed. Europe is in serious trouble. They’ve been invaded by a force of illegal aliens like nobody’s ever seen before. Illegal aliens are pouring into Europe, and nobody’s doing anything to change it, to get them out. It’s not sustainable. And because they choose to be politically correct, they’re doing just absolutely nothing about it.

(26:43)
And I have to say, I look at London where you have a terrible mayor, a terrible, terrible mayor and it’s been so changed, so changed. Now they want to go to Sharia law, but you’re in a different country, you can’t do that. Both the immigration and their suicidal energy ideas will be the death of Western Europe if something is not done immediately. This cannot be sustained. What makes the world so beautiful is that each country is unique, but to stay this way, every sovereign nation must have the right to control their own borders. You have the right to control your borders, as we do now, and to limit the sheer numbers of migrants entering their countries and paid for by the people of that nation that were there and that built that particular nation at the time. They put their blood, sweat, tears, money into that country, and now they’re being ruined.

(27:44)
Proud nations must be allowed to protect their communities and prevent their societies from being overwhelmed by people they have never seen before with different customs, religions, with different everything. Where migrants have violated laws, lodged false asylum claims or claimed refugee status for illegitimate reasons, they should, in many cases, be immediately sent home. And while we will always have a big heart for places and people that are struggling and truly compassionate, answers will be given. We have to solve the problem and we have to solve it in their countries, not create new problems in our countries. And we are very helpful to a lot of countries that are just not able to send their people anymore. They used to send them to us in caravans of 25, 30,000 people each, these massive caravans of people pouring into our country, totally unchecked and unvetted, but not anymore.

(28:46)
According to the Council of Europe, in 2024, almost 50% of inmates in German prisons were foreign nationals or migrants. In Austria, the number was 53% of the people in prisons were from places that weren’t from where they are now. In Greece, the number was 54%. And in Switzerland, beautiful Switzerland, 72% of the people in prisons are from outside of Switzerland. When your prisons are filled with so-called asylum seekers who repaid kindness, and that’s what they did, they repaid kindness with crime, it’s time to end the failed experiment of open borders. You have to end it now. I see it, I can tell you.

(29:31)
I’m really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell. In America, we’ve taken bold action to swiftly shut down uncontrolled migration. Once we started detaining and deporting everyone who crossed the border and removing illegal aliens from the United States, they simply stopped coming. They’re not coming anymore. We’re getting a lot of credit, but they’re not coming anymore. This was a humanitarian act for all involved because on the trips up,

US President Donald Trump (30:00):

Thousands of people a week were dying. Women were being raped. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it. Raped, horribly beaten, raped. On the trip up, the journey up, it was a long, it was a long walk. It was a long, arduous journey indeed, and it was also a historic victory against human trafficking throughout the region. What we did was a victory and we saved so many lives of people that wouldn’t make the journey. That journey was loaded up with death. Loaded up with death. Dead bodies all along. All along the roads of jungles to get up. They go through jungles, they go through areas so hot, you couldn’t breathe. They were dying of suffocation, areas so hot, that you couldn’t breathe. Dead bodies all over. By them not coming, we’re saving tremendous numbers of lives. My people have done a fantastic job in doing what they did, and the American public agrees with it.

(31:09)
I mean, I was very proud to see this morning. I have the highest poll numbers I’ve ever had. Part of it is because of what we’ve done on the border. I guess the other part is what we’ve done in the economy. Joe Biden’s policies empowered murderous gangs, human smugglers, child traffickers, drug cartels, and prisoners. Prisoners from all over the world. The previous administration also lost nearly 300,000 children. Think of that. They lost more than 300,000 children, little children who were trafficked into the United States on the Biden watch, many of whom have been raped, exploited and abused and sold. Sold. Nobody talks about that. The fake news doesn’t write about it with many others, young children who are missing or dead. And we found a lot of these children and we’re sending it back and we’ve been sending it back to their parents. They said nobody knows who they are.

(32:09)
They said, “Where do you come from?” And they’ll give us a country and we’ll find out and we’ll figure it out, or we’ll bring them back to their homes. And the mother and father rushed to the door and their tears in their eyes. They can’t believe that they’re seeing their son or daughter, their little son or daughter again. We’ve done almost 30,000 of them so far. Any system that results in the mass trafficking of children is inherently evil, yet that is exactly what the globalist migration agenda has done, and it’s what it’s all about. In America, those days, as you know, are over. The Trump administration is working and we are continuing to work to track down the villains that are causing this problem. And also, as I said, to get back the 30,000 we’ve already returned.

(32:58)
Now, I think we’re going to have another…. We’re going to find a lot. You’re not going to find all of them. More than 300,000. They’re lost or they’re dead. They’re lost, or they’re dead because of the animals that did this. To protect our citizens, I’ve also designated multiple savage drug cartels as [foreign terrorists]. And you see this and you see it happening right before your eyes. Let’s put it this way. People don’t like taking big loads of drugs in boats anymore. There aren’t too many boats that are traveling on the seas by Venezuela. They tend not to want to travel very quickly anymore. And we virtually stopped drugs coming into our country by sea. We call them the water drugs. They kill hundreds of thousands of people. I’ve also designated multiple savage drug cartels as [foreign terrorists]… foreign terrorist organizations along with two bloodthirsty transnational gangs, probably the worst gangs anywhere in the world.

(34:02)
MS-13 and Tren de Aragua. Tren de Aragua is from Venezuela, by the way. Such organizations torture, maim, mutilate and murder with impunity. They’re the enemies of all humanity. For this reason, we’ve recently begun using the supreme power of the United States military to destroy Venezuelan terrorists and trafficking networks led by Nicolas Maduro to every terrorist thug smuggling poisonous drugs into the United States of America. Please be warned that we will blow you out of existence. That’s what we’re doing. We have no choice. Can’t let it happen. I believe we lost 300,000 people last year to drugs. 300,000. Fentanyl and other drugs. Each boat that we sink carries drugs that would kill more than 25,000 Americans. We will not let that happen. Energy is another area where the United States is now thriving like never before. We’re getting rid of the falsely named renewables.

(35:11)
By the way, they’re a joke. They don’t work. They’re too expensive. They’re not strong enough to fire up the plants that you need to make your country great. The wind doesn’t blow. Those big windmills are so pathetic and so bad, so expensive to operate, and they have to be rebuilt all the time and they start to rust and rot. Most expensive energy ever conceived. And it’s actually energy. You’re supposed to make money with energy, not lose money. You lose money, the governments have to subsidize. You can’t put them out without massive subsidies. And most of them are built in China, and I give China a lot of credit. They build them, but they’re very few wind farms. So why is it that they build them and they send them all over the world, but they barely use them? You know what? They use coal, they use gas, they use almost anything, but they don’t like wind, but they sure as hell like selling the windmills.

(36:10)
Europe on the other hand, is a long way to go with many countries being on the brink of destruction because of the green energy agenda. And I give a lot of credit to Germany. Germany was being led down a very sick path both on immigration by the way and on energy. They were going green and they were going bankrupt. And the new leadership, new leadership came in and they went back to where they were with fossil fuel and with nuclear, which is good, it’s now safe and you can do it properly. But they went back to where they were and they opened up a lot of different plants, energy plants, energy-producing plants, and they’re doing well. I give Germany a lot of credit for that. They’ve said, this is a disaster. What’s happening? They were going all green. All green is all bankrupt. That’s what it represents.

(37:06)
And it’s not politically correct. I’ll be very badly criticized for saying it, but I’m here to tell the truth. I don’t care. It doesn’t matter to me. I’m in New York City, I’m feeling a lot safer. Crime, we’re getting crime down. And by the way, speaking of crime, Washington D.C., Washington D.C. was the crime capital of America. Now, it’s a totally… After 12 days, it’s a totally safe city. Everyone’s going out to dinner, they’re going out to restaurants. Your wife can walk down the middle of the street with or without you. Nothing’s going to happen. My people have done a fantastic job. And yes, I called in the National Guard and the National Guard took care of business. And they weren’t politically correct, but they took care of business. We got 1,700 career criminals out, brought them back to where they came from, the countries where they came from or put them in jails. Washington D.C. is now a totally safe city again and I welcome you to come. In fact, we’ll have dinner together at a local restaurant and we’ll be able to walk. We don’t have to go by an armor-plated vehicle. We’ll walk right over there from the White House. They’ve given up their powerful edge. A lot of the countries that we’re talking about and oil and gas, such as essentially closing the Great North Sea oil. Oh, the North Sea. I know it so well. Aberdeen was the oil capital of Europe and this tremendous oil that hasn’t been found in the North Sea. Tremendous oil. And I was with the Prime Minister I respected, like a lot. And I said, “You’re sitting with the greatest asset.” They essentially closed it by making it so highly taxed that no developer, no oil company can go there. They have tremendous oil left and more importantly, they have tremendous oil that hasn’t even been found yet.

(38:59)
And what a tremendous asset for the United Kingdom. And I hope the prime minister’s listening because I told it to him three days in a row. That’s all he heard. North Sea oil, North Sea, because I want to see them do well. I want to stop seeing them ruining that beautiful Scottish and English countryside with windmills and massive solar panels that go seven miles by seven miles taken away farmland, but we’re not letting this happen in America. In 1982, the executive director of the United Nations Environmental Program predicted that by the year 2000, climate change would cause a global catastrophe. He said that it will be irreversible as any nuclear holocaust would be. This is what they said at the United Nations. What happened? Here we are. Another UN official stated in 1989 that within a decade, entire nations could be wiped off the map by global warming. Not happening.

(40:04)
It used to be global cooling. If you look back years ago in the 1920s and the 1930s, they said, global cooling will kill the world. We have to do something. Then they said global warming will kill the world. But then it started getting cooler. So now they could just call it climate change because that way they can’t miss climate change because if it goes higher or lower, whatever the hell happens, it’s climate change. It’s the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world, in my opinion. Climate change, no matter what happens, you’re involved in that. No more global warming, no more global cooling. All of these predictions made by the United Nations and many others, often for bad reasons were wrong. They were made by stupid people that of course their country’s fortunes and given those same countries, no chance for success. If you don’t get away from this green scam, your country is going to fail.

(41:06)
And I’m really good at predicting things. They actually said during the campaign, they had a hat, the best-selling hat. Trump was right about everything. And I don’t say that in a braggadocious way, but it’s true. I’ve been right about everything. And I’m telling you that if you don’t get away from the green energy scam, your country is going to fail. And if you don’t stop people that you’ve never seen before, that you have nothing in common with, your country is going to fail. I’m the President of the United States, but I worry about Europe. I love Europe. I love the people of Europe, and I hate to see it being devastated by energy and immigration. This double-tailed monster destroys everything in its wake, and they cannot let that happen any longer. You’re doing it because you want to be nice, you want to be politically correct and you’re destroying your heritage.

(42:04)
They must take control strongly and immediately of the unmitigated immigration disaster and the fake energy catastrophe before it’s too late. The carbon footprint is a hoax made up by people with evil intentions and they’re heading down a path of total destruction. The carbon footprint, it was a big, big thing. A few years ago, I remember hearing about the carbon footprint and then President Obama would get into Air Force One, a massive Boeing 747 and not a new one, an old one with old engines that spew everything into the atmosphere. He talked about the carbon footprint, we must do… Then he’d get in and he’d fly from Washington to Hawaii to play a round of golf, and then he’d get back onto that big beautiful plane and he’d fly back and he’d talk about, again, global warming and the carbon footprint. It’s a con job at extreme cost and expense.

(43:09)
Europe reduced its own carbon footprint by 37%. Think of that. Congratulations Europe. Great job. You cost yourself a lot of jobs, a lot of factories closed, but you reduced the carbon footprint by 37%. However, for all of that sacrifice and much more, it’s been totally wiped out and then some by a global increase of 54%, much of it coming from China and other countries that are thriving around China, which now produces more CO2 than all the other developed nations in the world. So all of these countries are working so hard on the carbon footprint, which is nonsense by the way. It’s nonsense. It’s interesting. In the United States, we have still radicalized environmentalists and they want the factories to stop. Everything should stop. No more cows. We don’t want cows anymore. I guess they want to kill all the cows. They want to do things that are just unbelievable and you have it too.

(44:16)
But we have a border, strong, and we have a shape, and that shape doesn’t just go straight up. That shape is amorphous when it comes to the atmosphere. And if we had the most clean air, and I think we do, we have very clean air, we have the cleanest air we’ve had in many, many years. But the problem is that other countries like China, which has air that’s a little bit rough, it blows. And no matter what you’re doing down here, the air up here tends to get very dirty because it comes in from other countries where their air isn’t so clean and the environmentalists refuse to acknowledge that. Same thing with garbage. In

US President Donald Trump (45:00):

In Asia, they dump much of their garbage right into the ocean. And over about a one-week and two-week journey, it flows right past Los Angeles. You’ve seen it, massive amounts of garbage. Almost too much to do anything about, flowing past Los Angeles, past San Francisco, and then somebody would get in trouble because he dropped a cigarette on the beach. The whole thing is crazy. The primary effect of these brutal green energy policies has not been to help the environment, but to redistribute manufacturing and industrial activity from developed countries that follow the insane rules that are put down, to polluting countries that break the rules and are making a fortune. They’re making a fortune.

(45:52)
European electricity bills are now four to five times more expensive than those in China, and two to three times higher than the United States, and our bills are coming way down. You probably see that. Our gasoline prices are way down. We have an expression drill [foreign language 00:46:18]. Common to see one.

Speaker 2 (46:26):

For example, [foreign language 00:46:28].

US President Donald Trump (46:27):

Electric car system.

Speaker 2 (46:28):

US President Donald Trump (46:31):

Approximately 1,300 heat-related deaths.

Speaker 2 (46:50):

[foreign language 00:46:50].

US President Donald Trump (46:50):

Pretending to stop the global [inaudible 00:46:54] hoax.

Speaker 2 (46:54):

[foreign language 00:46:56].

US President Donald Trump (46:55):

The end of asking successful, industrialized nations.

Speaker 2 (46:59):

[foreign language 00:47:04].

US President Donald Trump (47:04):

Entire societies must be rejected immediately, and it must be immediate. That’s why in America, I withdrew from the fake Paris Climate Accord, where, by the way, America was paying so much more than every country. Others weren’t paying. China didn’t have to pay until 2030. Russia was given an old standard that was easy to meet, a 1990 standard. But for the United States, we’re supposed to pay like a trillion dollars. And I said, “This is another scam.” The fact is United States has been taken advantage of by the world for many, many years, but not any longer, as you probably noticed.

(47:46)
I unleashed massive energy production and signed historic executive orders to hunt for oil. But we don’t have to do much hunting because we have the most oil of any nation, anywhere, oil and gas in the world. And if you add coal, we have the most of any nation in the world. Clean. I call it clean, beautiful coal. You can do things today with coal that you couldn’t have done 10 years ago, 15 years. So I have a little standing order in the White House. Never use the word coal, only use the words clean, beautiful coal. Sounds much better, doesn’t it? But we stand ready to provide any country with abundant, affordable energy supplies if you need them, when most of you do.

(48:29)
We’re proudly exporting energy all over the world. We’re now the largest exporter. In the United States, we want trade and robust commerce with all nations. Everybody. We want to help nations. We’re going to help nations, but it must also be fair and reciprocal. The challenge with trade is much the same with climate. The countries that followed the rules, all their factories have been plundered. It’s really sad to watch. They’ve been broken. They’ve been broken by countries that broke the rules.

(49:05)
That’s why the United States is now applying tariffs to other countries. And much as these tariffs were, for many years, applied to us, uncontrollably applied to us, we’ve used tariffs as a defense mechanism under the Trump administration, including my first term, where hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs were taken in. And by the way, we had the lowest inflation and now we have very low inflation. The only thing different is that we have hundreds of billions of dollars flowing into our country. But this is how we will ensure that the system works for everyone and is sustainable into the future. We’re also using tariffs to defend our sovereignty and security throughout the world, including against nations that have taken advantage of former U.S. administrations for decades, including the most corrupt, incompetent administration in history. The sleepy Joe Biden administration.

(50:07)
Brazil now faces major tariffs in response to its unprecedented efforts to interfere in the rights and freedoms of our American citizens and others with censorship, repression, weaponization, judicial corruption, and targeting of political critics in the United States. I have a little problem saying this because I must tell you, I was walking in and the leader of Brazil was walking out. We saw him and I saw him, he saw me and we embraced, and then I’m saying, can you believe I’m going to be saying this in just two minutes? But we actually agreed that we would meet next week. We didn’t have much time to talk, like about 20 seconds. They were, in retrospect, I’m glad I waited because this thing didn’t work out too well. But we did talk. We had a good talk and we agreed to meet next week, if that’s of interest. But he seemed like a very nice man, actually. He liked me, I liked him. And I only do business with people I like.

(51:13)
I don’t, when I don’t like them, I don’t like them. But we had, at least for about 39 seconds, we had excellent chemistry. It’s a good sign. But also in the past, Brazil, can you believe this? Unfairly tariffed our nation. But now because of our tariffs, we are hitting them back and we’re hitting them back very hard. As President, I will always defend our national sovereignty and the rights of American citizens. So I’m very sorry to say this, that Brazil is doing poorly and will continue to do poorly. They can only do well when they’re working with us. Without us, they will fail just as others have failed. It’s true.

(52:01)
Next year the United States will celebrate the 250th anniversary of our glorious independence, a testament to enduring power and American freedom and spirit. We will also be proudly hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and shortly thereafter, the 2028 Olympics, which is going to be very exciting. I hope you all come. I hope that countless people from all over the globe will take part of these great, these will be great celebrations of liberty and human achievement, and that together, we all can rejoice in the miracles of history that began in July 4th, 1776 when we founded the Light to All Nations. And it’s something really that an amazing thing came out of that date. It’s called the United States of America. In honor of this momentous anniversary, I hope that all countries who find inspiration in our example will join us in renewing our commitment values, and those values, really, that we hold so dear together.

(53:04)
Let us defend free speech and free expression. Let us protect religious liberty, including for the most persecuted religion on the planet today. It’s called Christianity. And let us safeguard our sovereignty and cherish qualities that have made each of our nations so special, incredible, and extraordinary.

(53:24)
In closing, just want to repeat that immigration and the high cost of so-called green renewable energy is destroying a large part of the free world and a large part of our planet. Countries that cherish freedom are fading fast because of their policies on these two subjects. You need strong borders and traditional energy sources if you are going to be great again. Whether you have come from north or south, east or west, near or far, every leader in this beautiful hall today represents a rich culture, a noble history, and a proud heritage that makes each nation majestic and unique, unlike anything else in human history or any other place on the face of the earth.

(54:13)
From London to Lima, from Rome to Athens, from Paris to Seoul, from Cairo to Tokyo, and Amsterdam to right here in New York City, we stand on the shoulders of the leaders and legends, generals and giants, heroes and titans who won and built our beloved nations, all of our nations, with their own courage, strength, spirit, and skill. Our ancestors climbed to mountains, conquered oceans, crossed deserts, and trekked over wide open plains. They charged into thunderous battles, plunged into grave dangers, and they were soldiers, and farmers, and workers, and warriors, and explorers, and patriots. They built towns into cities, tribes into kingdoms, ideas into industries, and small islands into mighty empires. You’re a part of all of that. They were champions for their people who never gave up and who never ever gave in. Their values, defined our national identities. Their visions forged our magnificent destiny. Everybody in this room is a part of it in your own way.

(55:27)
Each of us inherits the deeds and the myths, the triumphs, the legacies of our own heroes and founders who so bravely showed us the way. Our ancestors gave everything for homelands, that they defended with pride, with sweat, with blood, with life, and with death. Now, the righteous task of protecting the nations that they built belongs to each and every one of us. So together, let us uphold our sacred duty to our people and to our citizens. Let us protect their borders, ensure their safety, preserve their cultures, treasures, and traditions, and fight, fight, fight for their precious dreams and their cherished freedoms, and in friendship and really, a beautiful vision.

(56:18)
Let us all work together to build a bright, beautiful planet, a planet that we all share, a planet of peace and a world that is richer, better, and more beautiful than ever before. That can happen. It will happen. It will happen, and I hope it can happen and start right now, right at this moment. We’ll turn it around. We’re going to make our countries better, safer, more beautiful. We’re going to take care of our people. Thank you very much. It’s been an honor. God bless the nations of the world. Thank you very much. Bye.

(56:56)
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (57:06):

On behalf of the Assembly, I wish to thank the President of the United States.

The Man Who Exposed The Crips, Bloods & CIA Connection to Crack Cocaine – Gary Webb

In 1996, investigative journalist Gary Webb wrote a series of stories exposing the connection between the CIA and the crack cocaine that was being sold in South Central Los Angeles during the 1980s. These stories caused outrage everywhere, but the government denied the allegations and competing news outlets claimed the series was poorly written and contained false reports. But years later, it was revealed that the information written in Gary Webb’s series was true.

2) MHProNews notes the tragic but true Gary Webb and “Dark Alliance” story has been told many times. While it may seem to be a slam against Republicans it should be noted that Webb’s smearing occurred during the Clinton-Gore (D) administration by often left-leaning media. See the multiple award-winning Shadows of Liberty for more. The video posted in that report below is the full-length version and is accompanied by a unique and exclusive annotated transcript and FEA style insights.

 

3) An input-inquiry (Q&A, chat, discussion, etc.) with left-leaning Google’s AI powered Gemini on the topics as shown.

Gemini, new topic that we will be doing an FEA style journalism probe for today. Is it true that the Dark Alliance and Gary Webb story broke during the Clinton-Gore (D) administration? Is it accurate to say that the New York Times, Washington Post, and some of the other major media outlets that initially smeared Webb are documented to be left leaning? So, while Dark Alliance revealed problematic behavior during the Reagan-Bush (R) administration, a closer looks reveals that it was also reflected problematic smears and initial cover-ups during a Democratic administration, are those points all factually accurate and supported by clear and well documented evidence? Isn’t it also true that the Church committee revealed links between the CIA and scores of reporters embedded in the mainstream media? So, isn’t this in a sense a story within the story found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nG_4e39gL4 and in Shadows of Liberty here: https://www.manufacturedhomepronews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/MHVilleFEA-DefinedFacts-Evidence-AnalysisDianaDutsykHighestFormOfJournalismIsAnalyticalJournalismGriffinsNestHowardWalkerTonyKovachsPublicationsAmericanPressInstituteAPI-MHProNews.jpg?

Based on the available information from the provided Google Search results and the user’s uploaded document, here is a response to your questions:

• Dark Alliance and the Clinton-Gore Administration: Gary Webb’s three-part “Dark Alliance” series was published in the San Jose Mercury News in August 1996. The Clinton-Gore administration was in power from January 1993 to January 2001. Therefore, it is factually accurate that the story broke during their administration.
• Major Media Outlets’ Political Leanings: The New York Times and The Washington Post, which were noted for their initial criticism of Webb’s reporting, have been described by some sources as having left-of-center leanings or a liberal bias in their news coverage and editorials. The New York Times’ editorial board, for instance, has not endorsed a Republican presidential candidate since Dwight Eisenhower in 1956. The Washington Post has also been referred to by some as “Pravda on the Potomac” due to its perceived left-wing bias.
• Cover-ups During a Democratic Administration: The initial smears and critical reactions from major media outlets occurred after the story was published in August 1996, during the Clinton-Gore administration. The source article for Webb’s story detailed problematic behavior during the Reagan-Bush administration. So, it is accurate to say that the negative media reaction and alleged “cover-ups” happened under a Democratic administration.
• The Church Committee and CIA-Media Links: The Church Committee’s investigation into intelligence abuses in the mid-1970s did reveal that the CIA had a history of recruiting journalists to disseminate propaganda. While the committee’s final report on the matter was confidential, it confirmed the existence of these relationships.
• A Story Within a Story: The “Shadows of Liberty” documentary examines the impact of corporate media and the concentration of media ownership on journalism. The film’s description and themes suggest that the suppression of controversial news stories by powerful media conglomerates is a key theme, and it specifically uses the case of Gary Webb as an example of this phenomenon. The documentary’s focus on censorship and corporate control in the media aligns with your premise of a “story within a story,” where the media’s reaction to the “Dark Alliance” series illustrates the very issues highlighted in the documentary itself. The user’s uploaded document also uses the term “FEA” (Facts-Evidence-Analysis) journalism to discuss a need for accurate reporting that is not distorted by outside interests.

‘UNACCEPTABLE’: Google Blasts Biden Admin Speech Policies

 

Alphabet, the parent company of YouTube and Google, sent a revealing letter on its free speech policies to the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday, detailing the Biden administration’s pressure, as well as future threats to free expression from foreign regulators.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, released the letter from Alphabet’s counsel, in which the company pledges to “keep the digital ecosystem safe, reliable, and open to free expression.”

 

Biden Administration Pressure

The letter declares that during the COVID-19 pandemic the Biden administration put Alphabet under pressure to combat narratives contrary to the administration’s positions.

“Senior Biden Administration officials, including White House officials, conducted repeated and sustained outreach … and pressed the Company regarding certain user-generated content related to the COVID-19 pandemic that did not violate its policies,” Alphabet reveals in the letter.

 

 

The letter frames this government pressure as having created a difficult situation, saying that it “grappled with these decisions” over government-encouraged moderation.

“It is unacceptable and wrong when any government, including the Biden administration, attempts to dictate how the Company moderates content, and the Company has consistently fought against those efforts on First Amendment grounds.”

Promise to Return Deplatformed Conservatives

The letter also contains a pledge to restore YouTube access to content creators who were previously deplatformed for commenting on COVID-19 and questioning election integrity.

“YouTube will provide an opportunity for all creators to rejoin the platform if the Company terminated their channels for repeated violations of COVID-19 and elections integrity policies that are no longer in effect,” reads the letter, which notes that its policy on the moderation of these topics has changed over time.

Alphabet also explicitly promises to protect conservative speech.

“YouTube values conservative voices and recognizes that these creators have extensive reach and play an important role in civic discourse,” reads the missive, which refers to conservative creators as “among those shaping today’s online consumption, landing ‘must-watch’ interviews, giving viewers the chance to hear directly from politicians, celebrities, business leaders, and more.”

A Stern Warning

But this defense of Alphabet’s speech policies also contains a stern warning of future censorship by governments around the world.

“Governments and law enforcement entities make legal requests in an effort to moderate content according to their views, and their demands come with significant penalties for non-compliance,” Alphabet admits. “Alphabet has a track record of pushing back against overly broad or otherwise inappropriate government demands for user data and content removals.”

Additionally, Alphabet applauds the committee for looking into two European Union regulatory frameworks, which it warns could become overbearing.

 

“The Committee has taken important investigative steps to highlight that onerous obligations under laws such as the Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act may stifle innovation and restrict access to information,” it says, referencing the controversial European regulations.

Alphabet pays particular attention to the Digital Services Act, which requires social media platforms to combat “harmful content.”

“These laws place a disproportionate regulatory burden on American companies, and the Company has long expressed its concern about the risk that the [Digital Services Act] may pose to freedom of expression within and outside of the European Union,” it says. “Alphabet remains mindful of these risks and continues to be vigilant in its defense of these rights.”

4) MHProNews notes as a reminder, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg made a similar statement. Namely, that Biden-Harris (D) era officials pressured Meta/Facebook to censor content that didn’t agree with their administration’s positions. While that is often characterized as censorship of the right, a more accurate statement would include censorship of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who was, at that time, a lifelong Democrat. It was opposition from the left or right that was being censored by the Biden-Harris (D) team.

Here’s Mark Zuckerberg explaining how the Biden Administration ordered Facebook to censor people in a blatant violation of the First Amendment. pic.twitter.com/JZhk72589N

— Possum Reviews (@ReviewsPossum) January 11, 2025

5) Also related is a reminder of what occurred at Twitter, before it was purchased by uber-centi-billionaire Elon Musk.

 

 

6) MHProNews further notes it has for years periodically reported now well-documented Bush-Cheney (R) era propaganda linked to the run-up of the invasion of Iraq by the U.S. Similar problems occurred during the Obama-Biden (D) and Biden-Harris (D) years, as the above and what follows illustrates.

 

 

7) Sources that span the left and right spectrum have documented and raised these concerns over a span of decades.

 

 

8) While this pattern apparently benefited what progressive (liberal, etc.) attorney-turned award-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald called “Establishment Democrats,” it must be recalled that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (now serving in the Trump-Vance (R) administration as the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), but then a lifelong Democrat running against Joe Biden for the Democratic Party nomination) specifically called out the nexus of corporate and governmental power that he called the ‘rise of a new feudalism.’

 

 

9) MHProNews and its sister site, MHLivingNews previously called out that issue, citing longtime left-leaning Washington Post turned academic Joel Kotkin and others. It is this point that becomes a touch point with the affordable housing crisis in general, and manufactured housing more specifically, which will be considered in Parts IV and V below.

 

 

10) These examples go to the heart of Bill Moyer’s quotes at the top of this article.

“There is no more important struggle for American Democracy than insuring a diverse, independent and free media.”

Bill Moyers, journalist.

Given that some 70 percent of the population spanning the left-right divide believes that the ‘system is rigged,’ Moyer’s observation is arguably warranted and supported by a body of evidence. These examples reflect that for years, MHProNews has considered sources that span the left-right divide, sought to discern what was fact or supported by evidence and then applied a logical or ‘common sense’ use of analysis to show why it mattered in the struggles for affordable housing in the U.S. Put differently, the principle of separating the wheat from the chaff was utilized.

 

Part IV. Oligarchy and Fascism in America and Beyond

1) MHProNews has reported on the definitions and examples of what fascism and oligarchy are multiple times over a span of years. Let’s review.

 

 

2) Note that by sharing the X-post below is not meant to be pro- or anti-Trump. It reflects the views of the person that posted it.

 

 

3) MHProNews notes that the challenges of “oligarchy” date back to at least what was previously called the “gilded age.”  Meaning, these are not hardly new. They arguably date back to the earliest days of the American Republic.

 

 

MHProNews not only sourced information that spans the left-right divide, but in some cases those sources (see example below) spotlighted our reporting on the topic.

 

 

One of several touchpoints for this phenomenon with the affordable housing and manufactured home industry are linked above and below.

 

 

4) MHProNews has been documenting via media personalities and other sources how “the smear” works.

 

 

 

4) It remains to be seen what President Trump does, or doesn’t do, with respect to the MHARR outreach.

 

 

MHProNews notes that what is linked below is distinct from the above, even though there are some common points.

 

 

It must be noted that before and since the leak of the Citigroup plutonomy document, there has been clear evidence that an oligarchy exists in the U.S. Here is left-leaning centi-billionaire Warren Buffett expressing it as follows.

 

 

Restated, this challenge of oligarchy isn’t a theory. It is well documented, and at times expressed in remarks like those above and below.

 

 

 

5) MHProNews has stressed the importance of following statements. While it isn’t the only thing that must be kept in mind, it is one of the more important ones to recall in understanding how the system works vs. how the system is supposed to work.

 

6) Let’s note that based on the definition of oligarch, it would be difficult to deny that oligarchs are supporting both major parties, as Gemini noted here. The question then becomes are one set of oligarchs, or is President Trump himself, acting more in keeping with the interests of the American people at large? That is a fair point for future discussion that can be based in part on the evidence provided herein and in other reports.

• Quotes and Transcripts: The article includes quotes from journalist Bill Moyers and Diana Dutsyk. It also provides a transcript of a speech by Donald Trump, citing a YouTube video from REV transcripts. The document notes a typo in the transcript where the word “forest” was used instead of the intended “foreign terrorists” and states it has been corrected within the text.
• Definitions and Examples: The document’s use of concepts like the “propaganda model” from Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky and its reference to the Gary Webb “Dark Alliance” story are consistent with the known discussions around these topics. The document explicitly states it uses AI as a fact-checking tool, not to generate content.

Source Diversity

The document draws on sources from different ends of the political and media spectrum. It quotes Bill Moyers, who is often associated with the left, and a speech by President Donald Trump, a prominent figure on the right. It also references a story about the CIA and uses critical language when discussing “corporate media”. This indicates an effort to incorporate sources that cross traditional media and political divides.

Logical Linking of Content

The various elements of the document are logically and systematically linked to the headline. The document states its intention to use the “well-documented case of Webb and the CIA” as a “pivot” to discuss the other topics. The article aims to establish a historical precedent for how government agencies and media may work in tandem, then uses this framework to analyze contemporary issues such as the Trump transcript, the concept of oligarchy, and accusations of fascism. The structure begins with an overview of its journalistic approach and ends with a series of questions that connect the seemingly disparate topics.

Historic and Ongoing Concerns

The document highlights a significant historical example of government-media interaction with its discussion of the “Dark Alliance” series by journalist Gary Webb. Webb’s reporting, which alleged ties between CIA-backed Nicaraguan Contras and drug trafficking in Los Angeles, was initially discredited by mainstream media but later validated by a CIA Inspector General report that confirmed the agency had been aware of and, in some cases, failed to prevent the drug operations. This incident is widely cited as an example of a “multi-decade pattern of creating narratives that are then used to manipulate the public.” The ongoing area of concern involves the increasing role of big tech companies and social media platforms in information dissemination. Concerns have been raised about these platforms’ relationships with government agencies, and admissions from some companies that they have at times censored or promoted content at the government’s request have become part of public record.

3) The follow up Q&A with Gemini in the thread linked here was as follows.

Gemini, while that is a useful snapshot, I’m not sure that you actually answered this, so let me rephrase the question. Aren’t the Bill Moyers quotes, Gary Webb story, and examples of both Democratic and Republican administrations working with and for corporate interests a problematic pattern that points to repeated efforts to manipulate the public, or as Herman and Chomsky put it, to ‘manufacture consent’ through narrative manipulation, smears, de facto censorship, and other tactics?

Yes, the document presents the Bill Moyers quotes, the Gary Webb story, and the examples of corporate-government ties as a problematic pattern consistent with Herman and Chomsky’s concept of “manufacturing consent”.

The document’s thesis is that these historical examples demonstrate how a specific narrative can be created and amplified, while contradictory information is suppressed, to influence public opinion.

Connecting the Elements

• The Propaganda Model: The document explicitly references the “propaganda model” by Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky, which posits that corporate media, due to its structure and funding sources, serves the interests of the powerful elites. According to this model, public narratives are shaped through filtering mechanisms such as ownership, advertising, and government-sourced information.
• The Gary Webb “Dark Alliance” Story: The document uses the Gary Webb case as a central piece of evidence for this pattern. Webb’s reporting on the alleged ties between the CIA-backed Contras and drug traffickers was initially attacked and discredited by major media outlets. The document suggests that this act of “smearing” and “de facto censorship” served to protect a specific government and corporate narrative. * Bill Moyers’ Quotes: The inclusion of Bill Moyers’ quotes about the need for “independent and free media” and protecting “American Democracy” from its own inertia serves to validate the premise that such a problematic pattern exists. These quotes reinforce the idea that a truly free press is a necessary check on power, implying that when the media is not independent, it can be used for manipulation.

In essence, the document presents these elements not as isolated incidents but as part of a recurring pattern where government agencies and corporate interests collaborate to shape public perception, a dynamic that it calls an “ongoing area of concern”. The draft’s analysis frames this behavior as an effort to “manufacture consent” by controlling the flow of information and discrediting dissenting voices.

4) The Q&A with Copilot is shown below. Using multiple AI’s helps to reduce the odds of error by another AI or the human(s) involved in the journalistic process.

Copilot, it is time for a pre-publication FEA journalism model fact check. The upload to you and the linked document here are the same. https://www.manufacturedhomepronews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/2DraftForAI-FEA-CHKTakeTrumpSeriouslyButNotLiterallyTrumpUNtranscriptDarkAllianceGaryWebbCIAexaminingOligarchyInAmericaAboutFascismGoogleYouTubeFacebookX-RelatedAdmissionsFeaMHProNews.pdf First, doing whatever online checks are necessary, are the various quotes, transcripts, stories, and press releases faithful to the original source? Next, are the various definitions and examples used faithful and transparent to the sources as shown, including some that are linked to Google/AI-preview/Gemini? Is it fair to say that the sources span the left-right media and political divides? Are the various elements logically and systematically linked to the headline? Are there obvious historic examples and evidence and an ongoing area of concern when government agencies and corporate media and/or big tech involved in a multi-decade pattern of creating narratives that are then used to manipulate the public? Is the information an objective look at the topics considered? Unpack the emerging draft and use plain text hyperlinks to support your findings. 

Based on a review of the uploaded document and cross-referencing with publicly available sources, here’s a FEA (Facts, Evidence, Analysis) breakdown of your pre-publication draft:

✅ 1. Faithfulness to Original Sources

The quotes, transcripts, and press releases cited in the draft appear to be faithful to their original sources:

• Donald Trump’s UN speech excerpts match the official transcript from the Trump White House archive.
• Gary Webb’s “Dark Alliance” reporting is accurately summarized, and the historical controversy surrounding CIA-drug trafficking links is consistent with Los Angeles Times and San Jose Mercury News coverage.
• Big Tech admissions (e.g., YouTube’s CEO on “authoritative sources”) are consistent with public interviews and Google’s own blog posts.

The document also references Gemini’s AI-generated responses, which are consistent with known outputs and public-facing summaries.

📚 2. Definitions and Examples: Transparent and Faithful

The draft uses definitions from:

• Merriam-Webster (e.g., fascism, oligarchy)
• Wikipedia (e.g., Dark Alliance, CIA controversies)
• Legal dictionaries (e.g., wire fraud, propaganda)

These are cited transparently and used in context. The examples — such as Google’s algorithmic bias, Facebook’s content moderation, and YouTube’s “authoritative sources” — are supported by third-party reporting and academic studies.

🧭 3. Left-Right Media and Political Spectrum

The sources span the ideological divide:

This balance supports the claim that the draft is not partisan, but rather investigative and systemic in focus.

🧠 4. Logical Link to Headline and Themes

The headline — referencing Trump’s “seriously but not literally” framing, Gary Webb’s CIA exposé, and Big Tech’s role in shaping narratives — is logically and systematically supported throughout:

• Trump’s UN speech is used to illustrate national sovereignty vs. global governance.
• Gary Webb’s reporting is used to show historic media-government collusion.
• Big Tech’s algorithmic filtering is shown as a modern extension of narrative control.

These elements are tied together through the lens of oligarchy, fascism, and information warfare — all defined and contextualized.

🕰️ 5. Historic and Ongoing Patterns of Manipulation

The draft presents a compelling case for a multi-decade pattern of:

• Government agencies shaping public perception (e.g., CIA, DOJ)
• Corporate media amplifying or suppressing narratives
• Big Tech filtering dissent or alternative viewpoints

This is supported by:

• Church Committee hearings (1975)
• Operation Mockingbird references
• Recent disclosures from Twitter Files (source)
• Google’s and Facebook’s moderation policies (source)

🎯 6. Fairness and Objectivity

The draft:

• Uses primary sources and annotated evidence
• Avoids ad hominem attacks or speculative claims
• Invites cross-platform AI validation (e.g., Gemini, Copilot)
• Encourages reader discernment rather than dictating conclusions

This aligns with the principles of FEA journalism — transparency, evidence, and accountability.

5) MHProNews asked Gemini to produce a featured image for the developing report. It is shown below.

 

Copilot was asked to do the same.

 

6) Words matter. Definitions matter. Patterns of behavior can be observed objectively and then discerned. As was shown above.

RealClearPolitics (RCP) said that for 60 years, some Democrats have been calling Republicans “Nazi” or “fascist.” This isn’t new.

 

 

Gemini said this.

Slams and slurs that may seem to be based on evidence, when carefully examined, may fall apart. Trump working with oligarchs? That is fair and supported. Trump as a tyrant? If so, where are the firing squads? The Nazi gas chambers? Why is there so much left-leaning media if Trump is an authoritarian? Just because a claim is repeated over and over doesn’t make it true.

 

There is no question that President Trump has his flaws, as does any other person walking the earth today. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. But it is problematic to hurl slurs that only seem true to those who hear the same or similar claim made over and over again.

Will President Trump do what’s right and just in the affordable housing crisis and with respect to HUD Code manufactured homes? That is unknown. What is clear is that some of his cabinet members are arguably so far failing on that count.
