I did my best to avoid American Tee Vee, movies and other propaganda for seven years- just so I could see if the problem was with what I was watching, or if the problem was really with myself. For some reason I always felt "bad" after watching just about any teevee or moovee. Especially the use of violence depicting people killing and maiming each other - all the time. I just don't find that to be entertaining. I don't like it at all. It's sick.
Try avoiding TeeVee and movies for a long enough period to become excluded from group activity sometime - everybody you know will think you are somehow weird. I intend to continue after recent revisitations reminded me I was right.
It seems that as pop culture media escalations ensue that the public follows suit. It's been going on forever. The cop shows are some of the worst of it. The cop show always show some muscle-bound bald goon beating up "bad guys." But howcum' the moovees and teevee never show the cop shotgunning the family dog in front of a six-year old like happens everyday in this fools paradise called America? Huh? Howcum' they never show the heroic poleese ocifer planting a gun on someone he's just murdered or shot in the back? Because reality has nothing to do with this immoral scheme to program the population into thinking that all cops and government workers are good and looking out for you and me.
If you read the voluminous body describing the common excessive violence our police commit - you might wonder where the heck the law is? Oh that's right they
are the law. That's what makes this brainwash version of reality dangerous. As far as lawyers and judges - collectively speaking - as a group they just need to find new jobs without training replacements. Who needs a bunch of pompous asses who can't tell right from wrong judging the rest of us? It ain't that hard - read the Bill of Rights.
Oscar Wilde said "Life imitates art more than art imitates life." I no longer wonder what he meant -
we are living it.
There is no question in my mind now (duh) that our media is complicit in the dismantling of what was once a good place. No - I don't mean America has been perfect, or that I was wrong and this place was never good. The population in America's recent past - the one I grew up in was different than that today. Good people seem to be a dying breed. Right and wrong was not a debate - it was obvious. Lying, cheating and stealing were not up for debate - they were punished. Today people seem to subscribe to the "end justifies the means" approach they've absorbed - with a population that just figures might makes right. If you win you are right. If you have more money you are right. If you have more power you are right. And those with the most power and money "win" then get to write their own version of history making them "right" and the rest of us "conspiracy theorists."
So the World War 2 veterans fought the NAZIs because Hitler was killing without trial, committing genocide, was a fascist, took the guns from the population, lied to invade countries that never attacked him, tortured people - you know all the stuff that...uhm....er...our own government is doing now. So how to "fix" things to make sure the public thinks that what is going on now is somehow not inconsistent with past mushroom food fed to the mushroom masses? Instead of getting back to the Bill of Rights and Constitution - the crooks that caused this calamity want us to believe their new improved version of history that is consistent with their lies.
But it really has nothing to do with "place" - it has to do with people and the deliberate manipulation of what they get to "eat" with their minds. You know - the food one feeds to the mushroom-masses while keeping them in the dark.
People respond to stimuli. Although this statement sounds trite it is something that for some reason has taken decades to finally sink into my thick skull.
Those who control the stimuli control the reactions. So - by controlling the stimuli the masses are subjected to they can be herded down a narrow path where the possibilities of their reactions can be limited within the spectrum of options originally presented by the puppetmasters controlling the daily drivel delivered via the boob-toob.
Once one realizes the above - George Orwell starts to make more sense as we need not work too hard to understand his statement: Go here :
1984 by George Orwell
"Those who control the present control the past, and those who control the past control the future."
So those who control the internet control the past, present and future. And the control of the internet is essential to realizing this TOTAL INFORMATION CONTROL. That's why the "women and children" are constantly dragged out to push this tyrannical agenda upon the masses.
The wars are all possible thanks to the media. No other corruptive apparatus we face has more of an influence on the outcome - because only the media can control the possibility spectrum. Yes - we may discuss one subject or another - but who gave us that subject to talk about in the first place? The media. And if that media is the internet - you can bet on it that you are only seeing the "tip of the iceberg" while the ship is skirting disaster with the business end of that iceberg being left out of the picture.
"Bread and Circuses" kept the Roman masses from doing anything while the whole empire just fell apart around them. That's what American Tee Vee does best - mind-phuk everybody via outright lies, lies of omission, and "Circuses" - but let me say a thing or two about the "circuses."
The first Tee Vee movie I was exposed to recently (since almost everybody that knows me knows I avoid any pop culture) was when someone turned on a telescreen at their house. The scene was of a man standing and one tied to a stretcher or something. Turns out one person in the room already saw the movie - the one person said "Is he gonna kill that guy?" The other answered "No first he's going to torture him then kill him." Person one asked that the channel be changed - I suggested sports then left.
Today, while standing in a room I noticed on the telescreen that was already playing three cop cars driving up a street - then heroic cops beating up some dirty-looking people - then a scene where one guy was going to cave the other's face in with a rock - geez. Kinda' reminds me of what Orwell gave us a hint on coming attractions in 1984:
" April 4th, 1984. Last night to the flicks. All war films. One very goodone of a ship full of refugees being bombed somewhere in the Mediterranean.Audience much amused by shots of a great huge fat man trying to swim awaywith a helicopter after him, first you saw him wallowing along in thewater like a porpoise, then you saw him through the helicopters gunsights,then he was full of holes and the sea round him turned pink and he sank assuddenly as though the holes had let in the water, audience shouting withlaughter when he sank. then you saw a lifeboat full of children with ahelicopter hovering over it. there was a middle-aged woman might have beena jewess sitting up in the bow with a little boy about three years old inher arms. little boy screaming with fright and hiding his head between herbreasts as if he was trying to burrow right into her and the woman puttingher arms round him and comforting him although she was blue with frightherself, all the time covering him up as much as possible as if she thoughther arms could keep the bullets off him. then the helicopter planted a 20kilo bomb in among them terrific flash and the boat went all to matchwood.then there was a wonderful shot of a child's arm going up up up right upinto the air a helicopter with a camera in its nose must have followed itup and there was a lot of applause from the party seats but a woman down inthe prole part of the house suddenly started kicking up a fuss and shoutingthey didnt oughter of showed it not in front of kids they didnt it aintright not in front of kids it aint until the police turned her turned herout i dont suppose anything happened to her nobody cares what the prolessay typical prole reaction they never----"
Yes - I was right all those years ago - this is madness. People keep watching this crap - can't walk away - have to see if they are really gonna' do it....
Television ads are expensive because Tee Vee is a powerful medium - it influences every aspect of the human psyche.
The Tee Vee "nooz" is no different. More entertainment - with another propaganda wedge used to split the masses into contollable blocs. Blondes with big tits don't anger me as much when they are selling a war as dickheads like some of the lying "gentlemen" on the Tee Vee.
From 1984:
"The messages he had received referred toarticles or news items which for one reason or another it was thoughtnecessary to alter, or, as the official phrase had it, to rectify. Forexample, it appeared from 'The Times' of the seventeenth of March that BigBrother, in his speech of the previous day, had predicted that the SouthIndian front would remain quiet but that a Eurasian offensive would shortlybe launched in North Africa. As it happened, the Eurasian Higher Commandhad launched its offensive in South India and left North Africa alone. Itwas therefore necessary to rewrite a paragraph of Big Brother's speech, insuch a way as to make him predict the thing that had actually happened. Oragain, 'The Times' of the nineteenth of December had published the officialforecasts of the output of various classes of consumption goods in thefourth quarter of 1983, which was also the sixth quarter of the NinthThree-Year Plan. Today's issue contained a statement of the actual output,from which it appeared that the forecasts were in every instance grosslywrong. Winston's job was to rectify the original figures by making them
agree with the later ones."
Orwell's character Winston Smith was employed in his dictatorship to change the records to make sure that if anyone wanted to see what the truth of a matter was - the spectrum of possibilities available to the truth-seeker would be limited to a narrow band - just the ones needed to make the lies presently being told to the public today true by changing the historical record. Was Orwell a soothsayer? No - this game has just been going on a long time - he was warning us of the scam he new was already going on and... some say - participated in.
It is obvious that the U.S. media needs to be shattered into a thousand pieces. No central control will benefit citizens collectively or individually. It is as simple as that whether you or I like it or not.
