And what can you do toward that end? Your job, you who care and understand, is to help educate others. I suggest that you might find a subscription to my report helpful. The Dan Smoot Report, on which these broadcasts are based, is sent every week through the mails long before the broadcast does. It contains documentation and details that I can not put on the broadcast. You can read it, make up your own mind, and pass it on to others.

This nigga just told me to "Like, Share, and Subscribe" from 1966. He also basically told me to subscribe to his members-only section to get early-access content.

What the fuck?

How long has this system of alt-media actually been around?

I’ll have to go back and look, but I remember Tom Standage in his book (“ Writing on the Wall: Social Media—The First 2,000 Years”) describing one of the prominent Romans writing essays, sending them to his friends, and getting those friends to post those in public places around Rome.

There is very little new under the sun indeed.

In Rome there was a whole system for that kind of public advertising yeah. But in the modern day I would say it really started with newspapers and then bigger with radio.
