When did the Republican Party change? It was 1981. The organisation of The Council for National Policy. They would gather the “donors and the doers.” They were white Protestant businessmen. Their dream? To return America back to 19th Century ideals.
Their aims: limit civil rights of women, immigrants, minorities and workers. They wanted no tax to vex the rich and no social safety net for the poor. With minorities gaining more legal rights, they decided that they must change the rules.
They believed that by 2031, if America continued to give rights to minorities then the Republican Party and American conservatives would become a useless minority. That would give them 50 years to assure change. They would use the media to learn the basic rules to change them.
They would cause massive media disruption to fracture the state of American politics. As local newspapers crashed, they would fill the void. They now own hundreds of media outlets. The main three being: Salem Media Group; Bott Radio Network and the American Family Radio Networks
They are connected to pastors, politicians and Republican tycoons. They sell American’s it’s hash combination of plutocracy and theocracy.
E.g. In Detroit, Salem Media’s WDTK (The Patriot) stokes disaffected Rust Belt listeners with complaints about the economy and immigration.
In Little Rock, the same network offers its FM commercial Christian teach and talk show, involved in local ministries and businesses to ensure the people of Little Rockate being taught informative talk and teachings. American Family Radio preaches the dangers of modern science
and moral decay and they have disproved evolution. And that they must agree with God and his being against homosexuality. This media Empire expanded its reach to Fox News. They created the wallpaper effect of wraparound media for powerful impact.
Abraham Hamilton III, the host of American Family Radio’s, Hamilton Corner, described the mass shootings in Las Vegas in 2017 as, “Satan’s work.”and that the Democrats were exploiting the victims by wanting gun control. Their other news outlets copied this story, the Daily Signal
The Hillsdale Collegiate and Fox News Todd Starnes Show. The point is the cumulative effect to create a parallel universe of information. The results have been devastating to American democracy. It has actually created two universes of news resulting in the American people
talking past each other.
The Council for National Policy was formed originally by Tim LeHaye of the “Left Behind,” end of times books because he wanted CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS to strengthen the POLITICAL RIGHT.
He was the head of the Moral Majority too.
