The meme highlights a concern about media consolidation, suggesting that despite the existence of thousands of newspapers and television stations worldwide, they are owned by just five major corporations. The visual uses stark contrasts—black text on a black background against red outlines—to draw attention to specific companies listed: GE (General Electric), Disney, Viacom, Time Warner, and CBS.

The image features a motivational quote overlaid on the backdrop of what appears to be a close-up photograph of a four-leaf clover. The text is arranged in two parts, with the first part at the top and bottom framed by asterisks (*) and reads: "Whenever one person stands up and says: 'WAIT A SECOND, THIS IS WRONG', IT HELPS OTHER PEOPLE TO DO THE SAME".

The quote is a commentary on historical economic views, suggesting that Jesus' crucifixion was metaphorically related to his economic stance. It implies that because Jesus opposed the power of creditors and their influence over people with debts (as depicted by the phrase "Forgive them their Debts"), this opposition led to an adverse judgment against him in popular culture or history. The quote is attributed to Michael Hudson, a well-known economist known for his work on economic policy issues.

The image presents a quote from Michael Parenti discussing the role of the press. It emphasizes that while newspapers serve various functions, their most significant responsibility is to continually recreate a view of reality supportive of existing social and economic class power. The accompanying excerpt is taken from his book "Inventing Reality". This visual aims to provoke thought about media's influence on public perception in relation to societal structures.

The image is a sepia-toned collage that features an overlay of the United States Capitol Building and two portraits. The upper portion shows the iconic dome and architectural details of the Capitol, set against what appears to be either dawn or dusk sky with clouds visible around it. Below this background layer are two overlapping portraits of Frederick Douglass in grayscale; his visage is superimposed over a darker backdrop that includes part of another building structure.

The image is a photograph of Nestlé CEO Peter Brabeck with text overlay. The individual, presumably engaged in making a statement or speech given the context suggested by his posture and expression, appears to be drinking from a glass against a plain background that lacks any additional identifiable features. Overlaid on the photo are quotes attributed to him regarding access to water as a fundamental human right.

This meme juxtaposes two scenes from popular culture to convey a political message. The top part of the image, featuring the Republican donkey symbol and text urging unity among left-leaning individuals, suggests that Republicans are not truly committed to uniting progressive voices within their party. It implies that those who consider themselves on the "left" should be wary of being divided by what it sees as Republican efforts.

The African proverb presented is a metaphor often used to express the idea that until one has access to information, understanding, or abilities (symbolized by writing), they will be limited in their perspective and actions. In this case, it suggests that without knowledge or education ("the lion's ability"), individuals may perpetuate behaviors or narratives ("stories") that do not consider other viewpoints or alternatives ("glorify the hunter").

The quote depicted is a reflection on the balance between technological advancement and human values. It suggests that while machines provide abundance, they can lead to disconnection from humanity if we rely too much on them for everything. Instead of relying solely on machinery, it emphasizes the importance of human qualities like kindness, gentleness, wisdom, and humility.

The image features a historical figure delivering what appears to be an oration, possibly addressing the audience on matters of social justice. The text superimposed over the photo conveys a message about self-empowerment and personal growth beyond reliance on external oppression for sustenance such as whip, sheet (possibly referencing bed sheets used in lynching), lynch (the act of lynching), rape, poison, brainwash, etc., suggesting that one has taught oneself how to overcome these challenges.

The illustration appears to be a piece of propaganda or satire from the early 20th century, likely created during World War I. It depicts various soldiers and military personnel engaging in humorous activities that are exaggerated for comedic effect. Some scenes include individuals pretending to fight with toy swords while others engage in trivial disputes over nothing significant.

The quote is by Jordan Maxwell and discusses the concept that institutions traditionally thought to be guardians of individuals' rights, such as banks, governments, police departments, educational systems, and civil society organizations are actually part of a larger system designed not to protect but to control people. It suggests these entities work together to manipulate public opinion in ways beneficial to their own interests rather than genuinely serving the populace.

The quote attributed to Rosa Luxemburg, a prominent Marxist theorist and activist of the early 20th century, underscores her belief that vocal activism is crucial for effecting change. She emphasized the importance of openly communicating one’s observations about current events as a revolutionary act. This perspective aligns with historical movements where open discourse has been pivotal in challenging existing norms and advocating for social justice.

The image displays a close-up of text on what appears to be a stone or metal surface. The message conveyed through the poem is one of self-reflection and accountability, suggesting that failure to speak up against injustices occurred when they were directed at specific groups such as Communists, Jews, trade unionists, Catholics, Protestants, eventually leading to an "I" who was left unheard by no one else.

The text overlay on the photograph is a quote from Charles Bukowski. The quote describes observing men who appear to be detached and unengaged, walking through public spaces like subways with an aura of isolation or introspection. It contrasts these observations with his own experiences as someone who feels deeply connected to others despite being aware that many around him may not feel this connection.

The document appears to be a classified military report, likely from the early 1960s given its typewritten nature and style. It is marked "SECRET" at the top right corner with an additional classification code below it. The paper is titled as being related to Adolph Hitler's activities after World War II. The header indicates that this document was passed on by Acting Chief of Station, Caracas ("Bogotá"), from Buenos Aires and sent specifically for Gen. Hidler (possibly a misspelling or misidentification).

Not true, as long as you keep executing orders, fear or not, they have power. The moment we refuse to execute their orders, they lose power. When they get to the point they must use violence to make us obey, they lost ALL POWER.

Violence and its monopoly is the last resort of authority and power.
