Orwellian is supposed to be a warning, not a how-to manual. But, for so many folk, it is the latter.
I want to close every single University Media/Communications department/faculty. Any media class that identifies with/as elite will betray the citizenry and, despite stratospheric self-deception, universities train folk to so identify.
Much has gone radically wrong. Not sure how it seems to have evolved but seems it started in the turmoil of the 60's. Lucky I majored in physics, technology.
It seems that the Long March started in schools of journalism and had early success there. (Then we thought the fight was merely one of words on paper.) Strategic move! Next came the law schools, et cetera et seq. Dominoes toppling dominoes.
Looking back, the strategy is so obvious, while then it seemed not a march at all but a children's spontaneous crusade, clouded with ambiguity and rife with fatal uncertainty.
These bad guys know how to plan a victory parade. It's the Lenin-Alinsky-Clinton-Obama in them. And the Jimmy Carter-John Kerry-Lindsay Graham-Mitt Romney in us.
My assertion about schools of journalism is based (merely) on a CSPAN Book Notes/ Brian Lamb (always the best) interview (7-8 years ago?) of a Dean Emeritus (at USC's School of Journalism?) whose Then new book traced the Long March history and concluded it was the journalists who started the yellow brick road ruin. I can't recall the book or the author, and I don't vouch for the opinion. It makes intuitive sense (to me) that the LM began there. After all, in the movies about coup d'etat the army always invades the palace first and then takes over the radio and TV stations. Recall also that in the movie Network the "I'm tired as Hell and I'm not going to take it anymore" movement toward revolution starts with a news anchor. But shool teachers too, like the media, are tools of revolution, just much slower working. They need generations!
Great subject for a cultural history of America's decline and fall. Maybe one day there'll be as many theories about that as Gibbon fomented about Rome. But PLEASE don't blame it on Christianity!
Ta. Just checking, by TNI you mean this TNI?
https://www.tni.org/en
TNI - Trusted News Initiative founded under the BBC. See https://childrenshealthdefense.org/legal_justice/trusted-news-initiative-antitrust-litigation/. See https://www.bbc.com/mediacentre/2020/trusted-news-initiative-vaccine-disinformation where "The Trusted News Initiative (TNI) was set up last year to protect audiences and users from disinformation, particularly around moments of jeopardy, such as elections.". Notice "set up last year", actually related to Event 201 planning. As if elections were a matter of real concern. Ok, Russia, Russia except the election misinformation is usually from various partisans who spend real money to influence low information people.
OTOH, the TNI was set up in July 2019 (https://www.globalresearch.ca/who-behind-trusted-news-initiative/5790640) but Event 201 was in Oct, 2019. There were earlier planning events. But back in 2017 Fauci was working for a solution to Zika, etc https://web.archive.org/web/20180723060934/https://www.niaid.nih.gov/news-events/multiple-research-approaches-are-key-pandemic-preparedness-niaid-officials-say.

Actually, it started in Schools of Education. Otherwise тАж
Important matter, where it started.

Can you blame a religion for its heresies?
Protestantism?
Its heresies were its fault and produced lots of killing in Europe.
It is heresy ad infinitum to make each man his own authority on finding God, understanding the Bible, and establishing orthodoxy and orthopraxy.
Hiercarchical authority minimizes the opportunities for heresy and its malcontent political opportunists.
Go Pope!
I am still going for Schools of Education. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedagogy_of_the_Oppressed
