PUBLIC opinion has historically been shaped by mass media, originally limited to print and broadcast media.

The internet’s emergence in the 1990s further empowered the mass media, especially with the introduction of social media and influencers.

Public relations and political media also play a role in influencing public opinion. The mass media employs diverse advertising techniques to convey messages and sway people’s perspectives.

The significance of public opinion in politics traces back to the late 17th century, though its importance had been recognised even earlier.

The quotes attributing public opinion as the “mistress of success“ by William Shakespeare and the “queen of the world“ by Blaise Pascal highlight the perceived significance of public opinion.

Politicians and individuals in the public eye often seek to sway public opinion through advertising and rhetoric, recognising its crucial role in shaping decisions. However, a challenge lies in the susceptibility of public opinion to misinformation and disinformation.

Political Zionism, as mentioned, strategically influences politicians, media barons, and their executives, creating a culture of deceit that fosters allegiance to its perspectives. This dynamic underscores the complex interplay between political interests, media influence, and the formation of public opinion.

One famous misinformation and disinformation of the Zionists in which “intelligent” people in the US and Britain’s political leadership were duped is the slogan “a land without a people for a people without a land“ that led to the Palestinian Nakbah (Catastrophe) of 1948.

Another was the Belfour Declaration issued by Britain in 1917 – the result of the Zionists in London instigating Britain not to sign a peace deal with Germany to end WWI in 1916 with a promise that they would entice the US to enter the war on the side of the Allies.

In return, Britain would ensure Palestine was to be made a homeland for the Jewish people. The Belfour Declaration was the “receipt” the Zionists received from Britain for this “real estate” transaction before even WWI ended.

That was how world leaders like Woodrow Wilson, Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Donald Trump and Joe Biden, among others became committed Zionists.

The Zionists also built powerful lobby movements very overtly in the US and Europe, and covertly in other parts of the world to ensure that world leaders would always be beholden to the aims and machinations of political Zionism.

Why do you think then political leaders in the West after making statements that will or may offend political Zionism will go out of their way to profusely apologise as if, if they don’t, they will have to commit the Japanese hara-kiri in public?

What they will be facing in the event of the failure to apologise is as dangerous as hara-kiri – political blackmail that will ruin their political career, financial blackmail that will render them bankrupt and perhaps in some instances the threat of murder.

Look at how President Emmanuel Macron of France after criticising the Butcher of Gaza for being baby killers because Israel refused to let in fuels to Gaza which has rendered hospitals inoperable, and dropping bombs on civilian buildings burying many babies under the rubble, had to painstakingly explained to the president of Israel that he did not mean to say that Israel (read: the Butcher of Gaza) is killing babies.

And this is not limited to just the political leadership.

Look also at how Elon Musk had to backtrack in providing his Starlink service to the Gazans after the IDF had shut down the internet in Gaza after he was threatened that the IDF would shoot down his Starlink.

He even got a rare invitation to Israel to meet the Butcher of Gaza to listen to his explanation of the Gaza war from the Israeli perspective.

Many people know about political Zionism’s (Israel) influence and control around the globe but most don’t know how deep its interconnection with one another is.

Rupert Murdoch is an Australian-born American business magnate, investor, and media proprietor who owns hundreds of local, national, and international publishing outlets worldwide that publish newspapers and books including in the UK, Australia and the US.

He was also the owner of television broadcasting channels Sky News Australia and Fox News through the Fox Corporation, 21st Century Fox (until 2019), and the now-defunct News of the World.

Murdoch funds the Jerusalem Foundation which pays for illegal Israeli settlements in the Sheikh al-Jarrah area of East Jerusalem. Along with Jacob Rothschild, they have shares in Genie Energy which has deals in Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

In 1994, Murdoch appointed Piers Morgan, aged 29 as editor of the News of the World, which made him the youngest editor of a British national newspaper in more than half a century.

And yes, Morgan is the famous presenter for TalkTV’s Piers Morgan Uncensored, who in turn is famous for repeating ad nauseam Israel’s right to defend itself.

He also used to work with Norwood Charity whose founder is Mendelson who was the chairman of Labour Friends of Israel and is the head of the Israel lobby, the Abraham Accords.

Another web of tangle ending with Zionism: Benjamin Shapiro, an American lawyer who co-founded the conservative media company The Daily Wire, employed the popular Canadian psychologist, author, and media commentator as the content distributor of The Daily Wire

In addition to hosting The Ben Shapiro Show, a daily political podcast and live radio show, Shapiro is also a columnist, author and conservative political commentator who writes columns for Creators Syndicate, Newsweek and Ami Magazine.

Shapiro’s works are funded by Kape Technology whose CEO is Edo Erlichman, who is Israel’s intelligence veteran.

The last example: British PM Rishi Sunak’s company, Infosys is co-directed by Auri Levine who works for Israeli intelligence unit 80 200.

The latter is a surveillance unit that spies on thousands of celebrities and politicians across the globe and they are the heads of companies that we use such as Google, Youtube, Waze, Microsoft, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and so many more.

With this interconnected, powerful and solid web of entanglement, political Zionism headquartered in Israel can influence and shape public opinion on almost any matter and issue.

But after more than 75 years of its invincible control of public opinion, it is unravelling. Why? Simply because since all these tangled webs are created by political Zionism, it takes political Zionism itself to break it asunder!

How? Israel explicitly and shamelessly committed genocide on a huge scale that is seen live by billions of people on Earth via the mass media including the social media that they controlled.

When billions of people in the world also see through the mass media the efforts at diplomacy by Russia, Brazil and China along with the Arab and Muslim world to stop the genocide, the visual contrast is so sharp and profound.

That creates a critical mass of anger, deep resentment and hatred at what the Zionist regime has inflicted on the Palestinian civilians pandemonium breaks loose, and a shift in public opinion occurs.

This is reflected in the continuous weekly protests every weekend in the capitals of many countries in the world especially in the US and Europe, drawing the participation of hundreds of thousands of protestors including Jews and Europeans who are sick of Zionism.

The global boycott of Israeli products and the products of companies in the Zionist’s web of entanglements is so effective this time that it has contributed to the partial collapse of the Israeli economy.

The whole world no longer sees the Gaza war as a Muslim Arab or Palestinian issue but a humanitarian one that affects the very being of humanity.

The US needs to be heavily pressured and isolated internationally to stop it from supplying bombs, ammunition and fighter jets to Israel to end the genocide.

If it remains obstinate, perhaps a global coalition of the willing should be formed spearheaded by China and Russia to destroy the ammunition, bombs and fighter jets that are being used by Israel to commit genocide.

This should be complemented with UN-imposed sanctions on the US, Israel and the EU states that are still supporting the genocide, starting with an oil embargo followed by financial and trade sanctions on them. – January 1, 2024.
