Typical Graphic from Social Media - Propaganda |
This is all drum beating. It's stirs up fervor and makes it very hard for people to look deeper. For some people, it enacts some weird, fierce,loyalty and emotion, even if they have absolutely no connection to the events. Then there are the mainstream news junkies which watch the same story, on 3 or so different networks, and get the same information across the board.
This could all be summed up as brainwashing. It's really that simple and it's frightening to be on the outside of this phenomenon looking out at masses of group-thinkers that could be convinced of anything if there was enough press coverage.
Don't Look Behind the Curtain
We'll tell you what you see - Don't look anywhere else |
During the heavy press coverage of the Boston Bombing multiple media outlets said something very similar to, "Don't look at any other images of the suspects, only look at these" as they put up images of their alleged bombers. I"m going to ask our researcher to look for a clip of this, because we heard it many times and it shocked me
Since when does the news tell you to look no further? To believe nothing else? To open your mouth and let them spoon feed you their version of the story?
Why is it So Easy?
Have you noticed a change in our society? If you're in your 30's or older, think back to television from your early years. You had sit-coms that often talked about real issues. They featured actual theme songs, not some 10 second sound bite or music stinger. You had evening news on a few networks, all with different stories and reporters, and you didn't have hundreds of 24/7 stations.
You also didn't have reality t.v. featuring the worse society has to offer. We didn't such a huge voyeuristic culture and people enjoyed their celebrities but they also turned off the t.v. and got on with their life. Right now, however, we deal with the fake reality of mass media on a 24 hour a day basis. We see movies that are so real to life that you couldn't tell the difference in between the special effects and reality, save for the fact that you "know" it's not real.
We are inculcated with fake realities and accept it them as real everyday. In example, do you think for a moment that what you see on Survivor is real? What about "American House Wives of Beverly Hills"? These false realities are accepted by millions and so is the news, both of which portray exactly what the producers what them to and leave out the ugly truth.
Turn it all off for a while until you get your bearings. Read some alternative news and start looking at everything with the eye of a skeptic. Ask yourself if you're being deceived and soon you'll start noticing a pattern in the events around us all.
