## Resource

Author Michelle Styles takes us down a historical roadmap of the evolution of media manipulation and controlled narratives that have kept society contently boxed in and controlled. From government to big corporations, our destiny seems predetermined as we are continuously molded and manipulated into becoming "good citizens" and feed the big machine of power and control, as we are given a false sense of hope.Michelle's Website:https://smartsheepe.com/Support our Sponsors!!!Click Here For Discounts!!!Web: https://www.worldablazepodcast.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@fontesablaze/featuredX: https://x.com/fontesablazeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fontesablaze/Substack: https://substack.com/@fontesablaze Hosted on Acast.
