The Decline of Digital Media and the Return to Print Books - November 2023

THE DATA

From 2019 to 2020, vinyl record sales increased by 46.2%, year-over-year.

2020, 2021, and 2022 were all record sales years for Simon & Schuster.

From 2020 to 2021, vinyl record sales increased by 51.4%, year-over-year.

Billboard.com offered no suggestion as to what might have caused the gigantic increase in vinyl record sales. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “stonewalling”.

From 2020 to 2021, monthly library usage increased by 19%, from 27% to 32%.

iii.com offered no suggestion as to what might have caused the increase. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “stonewalling”.

In 2021, vinyl record sales surpassed digital music sales for the first time since the inception of CD’s.

From 2021 to 2022, vinyl record sales increased by 4.2%, year-over-year.

In 2022, vinyl record sales surpassed those of CD’s for the second year in a row.

2022 was the 17th consecutive year vinyl album sales increased in the U.S., and the largest year for vinyl album sales since the inception of the CD in 1991.

In fiscal year 2023, U.K. publisher Bloomsbury’s sales increased by 15%, year-over-year, to £264.1 million, with U.S. revenue above $150 million, the highest in history.

Isdbndb.com’s Val Giordano hedged violently by describing the greatest year in the history of the company as “the good year”.

Bloomsbury’s employees received £1,250 as a one-time payment in February 2023, and a permanent salary increase of £1,000 per year starting October 1, 2022.

Chairman Nigel Newton described the highest sales year in the history of the company as "achieved its best ever performance”, to infer that the employees simply hadn’t worked with the proper skill or assiduousness, previously.

In the 1st Quarter of 2023, the 40% year-over-year increase in Simon & Schuster’s Pimsleur Language Program was 110% greater, or more than double the 19% year-over-year increase in the firm’s sales as a whole. Jonathan Karp, Simon and Schuster’s CEO, said “It is clear we are living in a boom in fiction.”

In the 1st Quarter of 2023, Simon and Schuster’s Pimsleur Language Program increased by 40%, year-over-year.

In the 1st Quarter of 2023, the revenue of Simon & Schuster’s audio group increased by 36%, year-over-year.

In the 1st Quarter of 2023, the revenue of Bertelsmann, the parent company of Penguin Random House, increased by 6%, year-over-year.

THE ARTICLES

On September 8, 2022, iii.com said “Library use rises and changes during the pandemic”.

Where the uncredited author used “rises” and “changes”, which are general, in place of the specific statistic which, in journalistic parlance, they “buried” in the body text below.

That’s because, as a propagandist, the uncredited author knows that sixty to seventy percent of readers only read the headlines, and their technique goes a long way toward “compartmentalizing” awareness of the specific magnitude of the exponential increase in library use which they are attempting to obfuscate.

“Rises” was also used as a thinly-veiled reference to the Atonist Black sun cult which has ruled things, in various names and guises, in all the nations all the way back to Babylon, and before.

Aton
(King Akhenaton and Queen Nefertiti under the rays of the sun god Aton, mid-14th Century, B.C.)

Did you notice how the general “during the pandemic” was used in place of specific, searchable dates? That’s another example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.

For those unaware, anytime an author is uncredited, it is proof that said author is an Intelligence operative.

The article goes on to say “Library usage increased during the pandemic. Frequency of library usage went up in 2021. 32 percent of adults say they have used or visited the library at least once a month this year, compared to 27 percent reporting the same in 2020.”

Where the uncredited Intelligence operative from iii.com carefully obscured the percentage increase, and made me do the math. That’s another example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.

Here’s how an honest reporter would have written it:

From 2020 to 2021, monthly library usage increased by 19%, from 27% to 32%.

iii.com offered no suggestion as to what might have caused the increase. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “stonewalling”.

On January 11, 2023, billboard.com said “U.S. Vinyl Album Sales Rise for 17th Straight Year — But Growth Is Slowing.”

Where author Keith Caulfield used “rises”, which is general, in place of the specific statistic which, in journalistic parlance, he “buried” in the body text below.

That’s because, as a propagandist, Keith knows that sixty to seventy percent of readers only read the headlines, and their technique goes a long way toward “compartmentalizing” awareness of the specific magnitude of the exponential increase in library use which they are attempting to obfuscate.

“Rises” was also used as a thinly-veiled reference to the Atonist Black sun cult which has ruled things, in various names and guises, in all the nations all the way back to Babylon, and before.

The article goes on to say “Growth for the format is slowing, though. Following a 51.4% year-over-year increase in vinyl album sales in 2021 and a 46.2% year-over-year increase in 2020, sales in 2022 rose just 4.2% over the year.”

Where “rose” is a thinly-veiled reference to the Atonist Black sun cult which has ruled things in all the nations, under various names and guises, all the way back to Babylon and before.

The words “mystery”, “baffled” and “puzzled” are memes, used, among numerous similar variants, whenever anyone in the wholly-controlled-and-coopted Political, Academic, Scientific and Media establishments wants to lie about, well, basically anything. One of those many variants is “startled”.

That’s why the Encylopedia Brittanica says “The pharaoh Akhenaton (reigned 1353–36 BCE) returned to supremacy of the sun god, with the startling innovation that the Aton was to be the only god (see Re).”

“The christian religion is a parody on the worship of the Sun, in which they put a man whom they call Christ, in the place of the Sun, and pay him the same adoration which was originally paid to the Sun."

From 2019 to 2020, vinyl record sales increased by 46.2%, year-over-year.

Here’s Keith Caulfield’s picture in a Satanic purple and green shirt, with a Satanic purple background, and where the image is off-center to the left to focus attention on his left eye:

(Keith Caulfield)

The image features his left eye (and, as a bonus, his left hand) because, to generational Satanist Freemasons like Keith, the left eye is the “eye of Will” or the “eye of Horus”.

But don’t take my word for it:

‘The right eye is the Eye of Ra and the left is the Eye of Horus’.”

From “Freemasonry - Religion And Belief - The 3rd Temple”

Facebook: “Welcome to the Left-Hand-Path-Network, where Satanism is not about worship, but it’s study.”

I have included his picture so that you could get a better idea of what a generational Satanist Freemason in a position of marginal influence looks like.

He figured that the rubes would never notice the coded visual imagery.

They are all related to one another through the maternal bloodline. They comprise between twenty and thirty percent of the populace, and are hiding in plain sight in every city, town and village on Earth.

It’s how the few have controlled the many all the way back to Babylon, and before.

But they say that the hardest part of solving a problem is recognizing that you have one.

On June 6, 2023, isbndb.com said “Major Book Industry News for May 2023”.

Where author Val Giordano said “major book industry news”, which is general, in place of the specific statistic which, in journalistic parlance, he “buried” in the body text below.

That’s because, as a propagandist, Val knows that sixty to seventy percent of readers only read the headlines, and his technique goes a long way toward “compartmentalizing” awareness of the specific magnitude of the exponential in print book sales which he is attempting to obfuscate.

The article goes on to say “Penguin Random House had a strong first quarter of 2023, according to the press release of its parent company Bertelsmann. The ‘strength’ was provided by Prince Harry’s Spare, 4 million copies of which were sold globally in all formats. Bestsellers such as Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus and Michelle Obama’s The Light We Carry also contributed to the growth. While Penguin Random House’s individual figures were not disclosed, Bertelsmann’s revenue grew by 6%.”

Can you see how the propagandist buried the percentage increase all the way at the end of a tortuous paragraph?

Val did that to avoid plainly stating “In the 1st Quarter of 2023, the revenue of Bertelsmann, the parent company of Penguin Random House, increased by 6%, year-over-year.”

The article goes on to say “While HarperCollins struggled, Simon & Schuster achieved yet another record quarter. Sales increased by 19%, to $258 million, and operating income grew by 16%, to $58 million. The revenue of S&S audio group increased by 36%, sales in the Pimsleur Language Program grew by whopping 40%.”

There’s a strict rule in journalism, where you list the highest number or percentage first, and then the rest in descending order. Yet, here, the propagandist has reversed it, to blunt the impact.

In the 1st Quarter of 2023, the 40% year-over-year increase in Simon & Schuster’s Pimsleur Language Program was 110% greater, or more than double the 19% year-over-year increase in the firm’s sales as a whole.

Jonathan Karp, Simon and Schuster’s CEO, said “It is clear we are living in a boom in fiction.”

The article goes on to say “The good year enabled the company to help its employees, who received £1,250 as a one-time payment in February 2023, and a permanent salary increase of £1,000 per year starting October 1, 2022. Bloomsbury also increased the stock dividend by 10%.”

The article goes on to say “The company’s children’s division, with sales of £108.9 million (up 17%), contributed the most to the growth. Pretax profits increased by 15%, up to £25.4 million. Sales of Sarah J. Maas titles grew by 51%, and, there’s a surprise, Harry Potter books were selling like hotcakes last year as well.”
