The men in charge controlled what the people were told about rival populations, the history of their tribe and its leadership, etc. When the written word was invented, men in charge dictated what books were permitted to be written and circulated, what ideas were allowed, what narratives the public would be granted access to.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4903\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">This continued straight on into modern times. Where power is not overtly totalitarian, wealthy elites have bought up all media, first in print, then radio, then television, and used it to advance narratives that are favorable to their interests. Not until humanity gained widespread access to the internet has our species had the ability to freely and easily share ideas and information on a large scale without regulation by the iron-fisted grip of power. This newfound ability arguably had a direct impact on the election for the most powerful elected office in the most powerful government in the world in 2016, as a leak publishing outlet combined with alternative and social media enabled ordinary Americans to tell one another their own stories about what they thought was going on in their country.<\/p>\n<p id=\"052b\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">This newly democratized narrative-generating power of the masses gave those in power an immense fright, and they\u2019ve been working to restore the old order of power controlling information ever since. And the editor-in-chief of the aforementioned leak publishing outlet, WikiLeaks, has been repeatedly trying to warn us about this coming development.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assange Keeps Warning Of AI Censorship, And It\u2019s Time We Started Listening\u00a0 Throughout the near entirety of human history, a population\u2019s understanding of what\u2019s going on in the world has been controlled by those in power.
