Mass Mind Control Through Network Television

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 hour 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.
