Mass Mind Control
Through Network Television
Are Your Thoughts Your Own?

Why do countless American
people go along with the War on Iraq? Why do so many people call for a police
state control grid? A major component to a full understanding of why this
kind of governmental and corporate corruption is to discover the modern
science of mind control and social engineering. It's baffling to merely
glance at the stacks of documentation that this world government isn't being
constructed for the greater good of humanity. Although there are a growing
number of people waking up the reality of our growing transparent soft cage,
there seems to be just enough citizens who are choosing to remain asleep.
Worse yet, there are even those who were at least partially awake at one time
but found it necessary to return to the slumber of dreamland.
This is no accident; this
is a carefully crafted design. The drive to dumb down the populations of
planet earth is a classic art that existed before the United States did. One
component to understanding and deciphering the systems of control is to
become a student of the magicians of influence and propaganda. In order to
defeat our enemies (or dictators), its imperative that we understand how they
think and what they believe in.
When people think about
mind control, they usually think in terms of the classic "conspiracy
theory" that refers to Project MkUltra. This program is a proven example
of 'overt mind control.' The project had grown out of an earlier secret
program, known as Bluebird that was officially formed to counter Soviet
advances in brainwashing. In reality the CIA had other objectives. An earlier
aim was to study methods 'through which control of an individual may be
attained'. The emphasis of experimentation was 'narco-hypnosis', the blending
of mind altering drugs with carefully hypnotic programming.
A crack CIA team was formed
that could travel, at a moments notice, to anywhere in the world. Their task
was to test the new interrogation techniques, and ensure that victims would
not remember being interrogated and programmed. All manner of narcotics, from
marijuana to LSD, heroin and sodium pentathol (the so called 'truth drug')
were regularly used.
Despite poor initial
results, CIA-sponsored mind control program flourished. On 13 April 1953, the
super-secret project MK-ULTRA was born. Its scope was broader than ever
before, and only those in the top echelon of the CIA were privy to it.
Official CIA documents describe MK-ULTRA as an 'umbrella project' with 149
'sub-projects'. Many of these sub-projects dealt with testing illegal drugs
for potential field use. Others dealt with electronics. One explored the
possibility of activating 'the human organism by remote control'. Throughout,
it remained a major goal to brainwash individuals to become couriers and
spies without their knowledge.
When it was formed in 1947,
the CIA was forbidden to have any domestic police or internal security
powers. In short, it was authorized only to operate 'overseas'. From the very
start MK-ULTRA staff broke this Congressional stipulation and began testing
on unwitting American citizens.
Precisely how extensive
illegal testing became will never be known. Richard Helms, CIA Director and
chief architect of the program, ordered the destruction of all MK-ULTRA
records shortly before leaving office in 1973. Despite these precautions some
documents were misfiled and came to light in the late 1970's. They laid bare
the spy agency's cynicism. Despite the widespread knowledge of MK Ultra and
the civil lawsuits that followed, this form of behavior modification is not
the most expansive. The real dangers are the types of thought control that
are 'covert' and not the subject of several dozen Hollywood movies like
"Clockwork Orange" and Mel Gibson's "Conspiracy Theory."
Our founding fathers faced
enormous challenges in the formation of this country and its bill of rights.
One challenge was laying down the groundwork or a free society without
knowing what kind of technological advances would be made. Who would have
guessed in those times that we needed an article in the bill of rights that
specifically prohibits the government and it's associates from engaged in
mind control or thought control. The closest item that promises our
protection from the government is the 4th Article in The Bill of Rights which
states, "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses,
papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be
violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by
oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched,
and the persons or things to be seized." Like many are now beginning to
note, the US Constitution and its Bill of Rights are merely given lip service
by our supposedly elected officials.
One of the most common
examples of mind control in our so-called free and civilized society is the
advent and usage of the television set. This isn't to say that all things on
TV are geared towards brainwashing you. They're not. But most of the
programming on television today is run and programming by the largest media
corporations that have interests in defense contracts, such as Westinghouse
(CBS), and General Electric (NBC). This makes perfect sense when you see how
slanted and warped the news is today. Examining the conflicts of interest is
merely glancing at the issue, although to understand the multiple ways that
lies become truth, we need to examine the techniques of brain washing that
the networks are employing.
Radio isn't any different
in its ability to brainwash a population into submission. Sixty-seven years
ago, six million Americans became unwitting subjects in an experiment in
psychological warfare. It was the night before Halloween, 1938. At 8 p.m.
CST, the Mercury Radio on the Air began broadcasting Orson Welles' radio
adaptation of H. G. Wells' War of the Worlds. As is now well known, the story
was presented as if it were breaking news, with bulletins so realistic that
an estimated one million people believed the world was actually under attack
by Martians. Of that number, thousands succumbed to outright panic, not
waiting to hear Welles' explanation at the end of the program that it had all
been a Halloween prank, but fleeing into the night to escape the alien
invaders.
According to researcher
Mack White ( http://www.mackwhite.com/), "Psychologist Hadley Cantril
conducted a study of the effects of the broadcast and published his findings
in a book, The Invasion from Mars: A Study in the Psychology of Panic. This
study explored the power of broadcast media, particularly as it relates to
the suggestibility of human beings under the influence of fear. Cantril was
affiliated with Princeton University's Radio Research Project, which was
funded in 1937 by the Rockefeller Foundation. Also affiliated with the
Project was Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) member and Columbia
Broadcasting System (CBS) executive Frank Stanton, whose network had
broadcast the program. Stanton would later go on to head the news division of
CBS, and in time would become president of the network, as well as chairman
of the board of the RAND Corporation, the influential think tank which has
done groundbreaking research on, among other things, mass brainwashing. Two
years later, with Rockefeller Foundation money, Cantril established the
Office of Public Opinion Research (OPOR), also at Princeton. Among the
studies conducted by the OPOR was an analysis of the effectiveness of
"psycho-political operations" (propaganda, in plain English) of the
Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the forerunner of the Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA). Then, during World War II, Cantril and Rockefeller
money assisted CFR member and CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow in setting up the
Princeton Listening Center, the purpose of which was to study Nazi radio
propaganda with the object of applying Nazi techniques to OSS propaganda. Out
of this project came a new government agency, the Foreign Broadcast
Intelligence Service (FBIS). The FBIS eventually became the United States
Information Agency (USIA), which is the propaganda arm of the National
Security Council. Thus, by the end of the 1940s, the basic research had been
done and the propaganda apparatus of the national security state had been set
up--just in time for the Dawn of Television."
Experiments conducted by
researcher Herbert Krugman reveal that when a person watches television,
brain activity switches from the left to the right hemisphere. The left
hemisphere is the seat of logical thought. Here, information is broken down
into its component parts and critically analyzed. The right brain, however,
treats incoming data uncritically, processing information in wholes, leading
to emotional, rather than logical responses. The shift from left to right
brain activity also causes the release of endorphins, the body's own natural
opiates--thus, it is possible to become physically addicted to watching television,
a hypothesis borne out by numerous studies which have shown that very few
people are able to kick the television habit. It's no longer an overstatement
to note that the youth today that are raised and taught through network
television are intellectually dead by their early teens.
The dumbing down of
humanity is represented by another shift which occurs in the brain when we
watch television. Activity in the higher brain regions (such as the
neo-cortex) is diminished, while activity in the lower brain regions (such as
the limbic system) increases. The latter, commonly referred to as the reptile
brain, is associated with more primitive mental functions, such as the
"fight or flight" response. The reptile brain is unable to
distinguish between reality and the simulated reality of television. To the
reptile brain, if it looks real, it is real. Thus, though we know on a
conscious level it is "only a film," on a conscious level we do
not--the heart beats faster, for instance, while we watch a suspenseful scene.
Similarly, we know the commercial is trying to manipulate us, but on an
unconscious level the commercial nonetheless succeeds in, say, making us feel
inadequate until we buy whatever thing is being advertised--and the effect is
all the more powerful because it is unconscious, operating on the deepest
level of human response. The reptile brain makes it possible for us to
survive as biological beings, but it also leaves us vulnerable to the
manipulations of television programmers. This is where the manipulators use
our own emotions as strings to control us. The distortions and directions we
are being moved to are taking place in the subconscious, often undetected.
Propaganda techniques were
first codified and applied in a scientific manner by journalist Walter
Lippman and psychologist Edward Bernays (nephew of Sigmund Freud) early in
the 20th century. During World War I, Lippman and Bernays were hired by then
United States President, Woodrow Wilson, to participate in the Creel
Commission, the mission of which was to sway popular opinion in favor of
entering the war, on the side of Britain. Edward Bernays said in his 1928
book Propaganda that, "The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the
organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in
democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society
constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our
country."
The Creel Commission
provided themes for speeches by "four-minute men" at public
functions, and also encouraged censorship of the American press. The
Commission was so unpopular that after the war, Congress closed it down
without providing funding to organize and archive its papers. The war
propaganda campaign of Lippman and Bernays produced within six months such an
intense anti-German hysteria as to permanently impress American business (and
Adolf Hitler, among others) with the potential of large-scale propaganda to
control public opinion. Bernays coined the terms "group mind" and "engineering
consent", important concepts in practical propaganda work. The current
public relations industry is a direct outgrowth of Lippman's and Bernays'
work and is still used extensively by the United States government. For the
first half of the 20th century Betrays and Lip man ran a very successful
public relations firm. World War II saw continued use of propaganda as a
weapon of war, both by Hitler's propagandist Joseph Gobbles and the British
Political Warfare Executive, as well as the United States Office of War
Information.
Turn on your local
newscast. You have a few minutes of blue-collar crime, hardly any white
collar crime, a few minutes of sports, misc. chit chat, random political
jibber-jabber, and a look at the weather that no one is forecasting correctly.
Is that what happened in your town? And we're supposed to own the airwaves!
The mainstream media openly supports the interests of the prison industrial
complex. The stories focus on minority criminal groups, and exploit the real
threat to appear much more dangerous than they are. Think about the growing
per capita number of prisoners in the country. Then remember that this is
happening at the same time that our prison boom began. The police on our
streets have created criminals. The focus is to keep us in a state of fear,
that way the elitists can attack any group they want to without fear of
consequence. This is why the media is continuing to craft the timeless art of
dehumanization.
The techniques are
increasing in their sophistication over time as the mind scientists that
serve the empire continue to discover scientific breakthroughs as to how the
human brain functions, learns, retains information, and behaves. The most
effective brainwashing techniques are used on the most successful propaganda networks.
Examine the music bed that lies low during the fright night scope of the
second. It's spooky. I wonder if we are supposed to be thinking with our
minds or getting ready for stunt. Observe the graphics with the music.
They're glitzy and flashing. Like the monkey that is attracted to shiny
objects, it's our monkey hand that controls to remote often stops the search
for entertainment when the proper amount of glamour catches their attention.
Most importantly, notice the repetition behind the lies that the politicians
and their corporate media groupies tell us. You see, the unimaginable
fallacies are created as 'truth' not because it's logical or provable, but
because of the broken record technique. No matter how ridiculous the lie,
it's repeated often enough that the brain doesn't know the difference between
reality and nursery rhymes. This technique is under estimated in its ability
to allow the puppeteers to hypnotize millions of people. Instead of
"Fair and balanced" it's "We say it enough times, and you
believe it."
It's a tragic day when the
state can monopolize on the enslaving and imprisonment of a population.
Hollywood will continue to frighten us with films on the mafia, gangsters,
and the corrupt blue collar criminal whose stupidity and greed get them
caught. In the end, our minds are already pre conditioned to accept living in
a police state economy and society because we read it in the paper, saw it
praised on the news and talk shows, or saw it in a movie. There are several
movies planned right now that support the official story of 911 and a few
movies that glamorize the War on IRAQ. According to David L Robb, Author of
Operation Hollywood, "Hollywood and the Pentagon have a long history of
making movies together. It's a tradition that stretches back to the early
days of silent films, and extends right up until the present day. It's been a
collaboration that works well for both sides. Hollywood producers get what
they want - access to billions of dollars worth of military hardware and
equipment - tanks, jet fighters, nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers -
and the military gets what it wants - films that portray the military in a
positive light; films that help the services in their recruiting efforts. The
Pentagon is not merely a passive supporter of films, however. If the Pentagon
doesn't like a script, it will usually suggest script changes that will allow
the film to receive the military's support and approval. Sometimes these
proposed changes are minor. But sometimes the changes are dramatic. Sometimes
they change dialogue. Sometimes they change characters. Sometimes they even
change history." They create something coined 'disinfotainment'. They
mix disinformation with entertainment and call it disinfotainment.
Unadulterated Violence is
now accepted on regular TV. Killing in the name of the mother government is
praised, that is unless the violence is committed in self defense to protect
someone from the system. Sharp shooters, bombers, and assassin are worshipped
if they are fighting for the system, are in the military, or are associated
with groups that control the masses locally, such as the local police
department. I don't condone violence, however it's hypocritical to support
one form of homicide when it favors the elite, and condemn another when it's
done to protect your land, freedom, or loved ones. This odd reality transfers
itself into the shady world of video games that are stepped in plots and
tasks to kill as much as the player can. The players are getting younger and
younger with 7 out of 10 children playing games with a 'Mature' rating.
Recently I was browsing the PC video game selection at a very large
electronics store. I was appalled to see nearly 50 different games in which
the setting of the game is IRAQ and the goal is to kill as many insurgents as
possible and fulfill the mission. Children today are being indoctrinated
through their favorite games and law enforcement programs to be the button
pushes of the weapons of mass destruction for tomorrow's world.
Is it any wonder why there
are two house bills and a senate bill (with more on the way), which are giant
steps in dismantling free speech of the general public. These bills together
would kill (PEG) cable access centers where the public still owns the
airwaves. It's the programming created locally, without censorship or
commercial gain. Their income is derived from franchises within the local
cities and a small percentage cable subscriber frees. This is a corporate
takeover because this is centralizing communication by removing the locally
based programming and moving the audience to the more official,
nationalistic, and sensational programs that promotes violence, uniformity,
and slavery over peach, diversity and freedom. Cable access features free
speech and information with perspectives neglected by mainstream television.
It also features a free flow programming system with fresh programs being
aired by new producers on a rotating basis. This keeps the content and
information creative and locally based while network TV is rigid with regular
time slots and repetitive programming.
The blocks of programming
that are universally accepted parallel the shift to craft our entire lives
towards the factory's bell and the illusion of time. This is the creation of
the hive mind. The hive mind is result of massive brainwashing to the general
public. Everyone shares the same thoughts, goals, knowledge and
understanding. A hive mind society gears itself towards conformity and
ignores diversity while masqueraded as the road to utopia in mainstream
television. Network programming, weather it's the news or drama, is geared
towards artificially creating your world and reality. With the proper amount
of entertainment and sensationalism, we may even be living our lives through
the television set. Many anchors and actors are beautiful and research shows
that attractive people are usually perceived as trust worthy. While the real
news rolls quickly by on the bottom of your screen, the anchor is selling you
on the idea of having your very own police state hell hole right here in your
local jurisdiction, or how 2 sports opposing teams chased around on a court
for 2 hours in attempt to score points means something to you. No education,
no information, SPIN. Today the media represents a tool of brainwashing and
indoctrination that is utilized on behalf of the owners interests.
Since the 1996 Telco act,
television and radio stations all across the nation were bought out by major
international media outlets. Clear Channel and Infinity are the two largest
corporations in radio today. This has centralized the distribution of
information and has threatened our free society ever since. The media drums
to the heartbeat of its owners, whose interests are not of the general
public. Instead they are interested in their other financial endeavors like
defense contracting, oil business, political parties, prison industry. The
conflicts of interest are monumental with the deregulation of the
corporations. The lines are now blurred between one network's coverage of the
war and the other.
Once we come to the
conclusion that the media is intentionally deceiving us, we can apply the
principles of problem-reaction-solution. This formula takes a problem by
either creating it or allowing it to happen and presenting that to the
population. It could be terrorism, molestation, extra terrestrials. These
topics create fear and no one in their right mind would support terrorism or
crime. It's therefore OK to blast the television, the papers, and radio with
'the problem.' The natural reaction from the people is a request for more
control to ensure more safety. Most let their fear and emotional side control
their decisions and usually translated into something like, "The
government needs more power over our lives to make us safer and freer from
tyranny. I believe what the media tells me so I will support whatever
decisions they make." Today's mainstream corporate news program
discourages dissent of the war and paints activists with a negative brush
that hints of treason. At the same time, the so-called journalists are cogs
in a much larger machine who know that if they report a story that paints the
government in a dark light, is likely to remain on 'the wire' and off the
front page.
The most disturbing thing
about spending a single hour examining network cable news and modern
Hollywood films are the reoccurring themes in the backdrop. The central ideas
of countless "investigative reports" or "Friday night
special" features are about a threat of some type over the horizon. The
end of the world as we know it is being sold. If the news isn't feeding it to
you, then the History Channel or Discover Channel are either talking about
the crusades, asteroids, UFOs, earthquakes, terrorism, or exposes about
serial killers. They are crafted a message that our world is unstable, and
the threat is always an invisible and dangerous one that only our military
can fix. When you record and log all the messages, you end up with a script,
a screen write produced through the movie studios of Hollywood hell.
I am not alone in noting
this observation. Local and network news are designing their editorials about
despair and fear because the owners, producers, and editors now understand
that fear sells. The end result are the desired ratings, delivered like
expected. The masters of modern spin understand that we like to be terrified.
Just look at the success in the action/suspense/terror genres that have
plopped onto the conveyor belt and packaged for our glee consumption. When
the editors in charge found out that simply plastering a terror alert chart
didn't scare the people the same way it used to, they began to kick up the
campaign of terror a few notches with new and creative ways to sell the
police state.
When you get to the other
side of the terror alerts of all shapes and sizes, you find another nightmare
masquerading as the savior. The 'Ministry of Truth' will protect you. The
mother government is here to rescue you and squash this brown terrorist bug,
this gray alien, this avian bird flu, and every other nightmare that the
nightly news brought you. The finest public relations specialists take the
science of worshipping our kings down to a frame by frame level. George W.
Bush is pictured in numerous poises with a hallo around his head. In other
pictures, he stands tall with dozens of American flags blowing in the wind
behind him. A more blasphemous display features him speaking in front of the
cross of Jesus Christ. The message send couldn't be more clearly presented.
Our current leaders are of the messiah status and only through them, will we
reach the gates of safety. The lie that has been accepted by so many as truth
is that this is a religious war. Numerous prime time programs are telling the
story of the crusades (without the horrors) to synch our vibrations up to
something out of the 13th Century, instead of the 21st Century. If the
America people accept the fact that the crusades are here, that George Bush
reports directly to god, and that revelations are here, then they have won
the war for our minds.
The loudspeaker whispers,
"All our problems are by accident, never design." Across the room
the system's minion snorts, "If you have nothing to hide, you have
nothing to fear." It's that plot that says Middle Eastern terrorists
from an Afghan cave are the reason beyond our little, "War on
terror." Related messages in the script demonize young minority males
and suggest harsh punishments for crimes they commit. They don't come out
overtly and state their racist agenda. They come at you from the side by
airing the same crime news repetitively, usually when it's committed by the
minority group. The networks love the fact that the TV sets the norms in
society and today, and hence politically opinion. Who would imagine that in
the United States of America, both candidates of both parties in the 2004
election would be members of the Skull and Bones society at Yale University?
Out of 290 million Americans, this is the best we could come up with?
It is the decision of the
owners to influence producers, editors, and others involved to paint to brush
to fit the objective, which is the bottom line. If Sports is what the people
want, then they get it, usually in large doses. Multi-media sports (or
spectator sports) is just an escape from our own existence. It's like
gambling, or drug addiction. It provides that buffer zone of rooting for
something with other people that we've been told is good. People's fantasies
also lead them to fixating on sports. Its simulated masculinity, in an age
where there's a push to change us from men to robots. It's human nature to
resist and fight that which is suppressing us. The sociologists and
psychologists in areas of influence know this. Spectator sports prove the
outlet internationally for what has been stripped away from us. We've lost
the right to rebel and change our government through warfare if necessary.
Today the bulk of our nation's population today doesn't know what's really
going on with the fall of the American dollar and the plans for the transfer
of American wealth to other countries. However, most can tell you who the top
basketball or football players are. A lot of fans wish they were the stars,
out there on the stage, the court, and the drag strip. Either you're
"numero uno" in center stage or you're nothing. End of story.
What I never understood
when I was in high school was why my peers and friends would act naïve or
ignorant in a "Wayne's World" or "Beavis and Butthead"
kind of way. What I've learned since then is that the numerous programs that
are pimping themselves of as 'entertainment' are actually demo graphed to the
lowest common denominator. This is especially true with disc jockeys in Radio
today. The reason our airwaves are saturated with jokes and content centered
on fart jokes, private parts, borderline racism, and general trash talk is
because it is selling. In the meantime, large numbers of our children, young
adults, and older audiences are mimicking what they see and hear because the
current 'norm' is selling this behavior as cool or 'chic.' When the
conditioned is so intense that these forms of content are considered the
norm, anything else seems either bizarre or uninteresting to the average
American's attention span that is decreasing by the day. Hypothetically, if a
producer on a network did get away from a feature story exposing government
corruption at the highest levels, chances are the large impact necessary
wouldn't be realized because the average viewer's brain has already been
conditioned to seek out certain types of disinfotainment.
The media has created the
picture perfect society that could exist if we only did things their way,
(their interests/government interest). It tells us what happiness is and what
it is not and same for love, hate or anything else they can implant into our
sub consciousness. We can become the perfect slave to the system through
indoctrination given through network TV. Over time the messages are becoming
increasingly racist, violent, and dishonest. But the programming began
decades ago and few have the eyes to see it for what it has become. We live
in a world where the populations give their minds away to the official
version of the event, where utopia is right around the corner when big
brother is riding shotgun. It's a world where Hollywood can make you believe
anything, even that you are free. It's a world in which the prosecutor and
the judge sit on the same side of the bench. The most obvious reason that our
minds are being controlled on a massive scale psychologically, is become our
culture has been conditioned incriminatingly to a TV, a radio, or a paper. We
are given the world reality through a screen, some ink, or radio waves. The
truth is hiding in plain site. The indoctrination through these mediums warns
us that views other than those presented by them are unimportant and too be
condemned. This Administration and media monopoly has a carefully crafted
dehumanization program to anyone that dissents the official version of
events.
Some people are wrong about
5% of the time. Some are wrong most of the time. I wish I was wrong all the
time. A lot of people deal with these
intense realities, by
asking me rhetorically, "What is the solution, smart guy?"
Remember, it's the viewers, the consumers and all the other little votes
called dollars that helped this oligarchy system lay its concrete foundation
in our backyards. We must recognize the truth about why the system is flawed
and enslaving us if we wish to beat it. The most important solution to
fighting this type of brainwashing and mind control is to start with
ourselves and our own awakening in the smaller things. In this case, it's
brainwashing but after awhile we break Outside the Box and begin venturing
outside the system and into unknown terrain. Fighting with people and forcing
them to understand 'our truth' is not a solution. If our collective free will
created this nightmare, than only our collective free will change it. The
battle begins in the heart and mind of the beholder, and then extends outward
from there, only to those open to the information.
If you choose to travel the
road to the truth, then you must be prepared for the obstacles that await
you. You may be condemned or criticized by your family, your friends, your
lovers, or your co-workers. This is their programming that began at birth that
is doing exactly what it's supposed to do. You're going to have to be
stronger than that. You must realize that there is a reality that exists
outside of this controlled artificial system. Like Indiana Jones in the Last
Crusade, he took that 'leap of faith' over the bridgeless canyon in an
attempt to get to the other side. Like Neo in the Matrix, he took the red
pill from Morpheus in his attempt to cross over to his real self. Once you
wake up, it's as if a hypnotist came along and snapped his fingers. You wake
up and say to yourself, "Oh my god. I can see it now. Why did it take me
so long to wake up?!" For some of you it can be a major shock. Like
anything else, take this information and knowledge in stages. If it took a
lifetime for them to mold your reality for you, then you know that it may
take longer than a day to fully awaken. Remember, the journey of a thousand
miles begins with a single step.
