BRILLIANT article ( in full on here ) To show how you are being manipulated 14 Years, 2 Months ago  
I have been shocked how some of you immediately started slagging off Caroline Pratt's organisation when MANDY started a spin campaign against her......this article explains how and why society has lost its was and how we are being manipulated. It is brilliant and I include the link to it as well.

UNPLUG THE SIGNAL
Nathan Janes
pupaganda.com/originals/Unplug_the_signal.html

A flow of information is constantly streaming from the television set; a bombardment of words and pictures. The speed at which this information is communicated makes it easy for the signal to take control, switching the viewer's brain to stand-by as information is absorbed without analysis or question. Today the television's constant signal shapes the conclusions of the masses and produces the collective norm. The signal prescribes what is news and what is truth through the words of so-called experts and authorities, gelding the consciousness and independent thoughts of those subjected to it. Through television, the masses can be made to accept the most monstrous distortions of reality. The signal is a chill wind of continuous oppression over the minds of the masses. It controls the management of society and culture, creating uniformity across all subjects.

The fuel for this vehicle of mass deception is a technique known as perception management where an array of psychological techniques are used to alter the truth, leading the viewer to a desired conclusion. Some call this spin or propaganda while others know it as lying. According to Joseph Goebbels, Propaganda Minister for Adolph Hitler, "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it... It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State." Most of what can be found on the nightly news is nothing but advertisements selling more government and a false reality that benefits only those in control. Television is the dictator of information; newspaper and radio are the whisper campaign of the television's message.

It is expected that Americans will consistently prescribe to the doctrine of the television. It is subtly communicated that one should stay within the collective and never challenge the message, for doing so may be considered an aggression towards culture. The message is, "Be a good consumer; always obey authority; you know nothing; listen only to experts; be content and never question or express new ideas." This signal is being broadcast across millions of screens, indoctrinating the unconscious minds of those who choose this as their only reality. Self-censorship occurs when these individuals become so deeply indoctrinated that they are afraid to discuss any information outside the paradigm of television-created culture; they police their thoughts to ensure they won't conflict with this culture. Sadly, many people's reality today does not allow any outside information to process, instead it is written off as conspiracy or blatant lies. Our consciousness has been destroyed so much that fiction has become reality. An entire lifestyle of poisonous foods, pharmaceuticals, and fluoridated water are accepted as safe and sold to us at the cost of our health and well being.

Those of the establishment are using the incredibly powerful weapon of mass psychology as a method of controlling the minds of the masses and altering the behavior of individuals. Edward Bernays, a pioneer in the field of public relations in the 20th century, applied Sigmund Freud's theory of psychoanalysis to manipulate the masses by engineering consent. According to Bernays, "If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without them knowing it." Advertisers and psychologists of the billion dollar culture creation industry manufacture trends through the proliferation of insecurities; and manipulating desires and emotions. These concepts are also employed to control how individuals think about politics, as well as the possibilities and limitations within society. Those welding power within our streams of mass communication market their plans into each generation as individuals adopt specific ways of thinking and never suspect that all the major events and trends within their lifetime are actually planned by an elite few before they are even born. In our society today, culture is created from the top down. Virtually all forms of culture are created by the ruling class to build a false sense of reality, ensure social compliance, and control the future course of cultural evolution.

Predictive programming is a tool used by the establishment to acclimate the public to new ideas, trends, beliefs, and threats. It is used through television by including certain situations or ideas within the plots of many fictional shows, familiarizing the viewer with these concepts no matter what they may be watching. When similar situations occur or like ideas are circulated in the world we think that these particular things are quite natural for we have unknowingly been made familiar with them through television. By viewing nearly any popular show on television, one can see the same propaganda that will be aired on the nightly news. Propaganda on a wide array of subjects has been interwoven into a great number of television shows. Just a few of these subjects include global warming, vaccinations, torture, terrorism, national security, the militarization of police, and the degradation of the family unit. Through predictive programming, television shapes culture and prevents individuals from asking questions.

Crisis' are created on a daily basis and broadcast across the airwaves to keep individuals in a state of panic and fear. Whether it be the threat of a pandemic or terrorism, the constant state of crisis has created a form of mental illness as we are slowly acclimated into an age of crisis. By using Hegelian dialectic, the television promotes the problem, guides our reaction, and presents the solution. The problem of terrorism was exclaimed, a strong emotional response was evoked, and it was stated that our rights need be sacrificed in order to protect us from the threat. We've lost personal sovereignty under the guise of terrorism; we're stopped and searched; we're watched by cameras as we go about our lives; and we're encouraged to spy on our neighbors. We have been trained to accept the life of a prisoner.

America is in a state of enlightened despotism where most individuals live only to satisfy selfish inner desires and remain ignorant of the state of the world around them. In most public places one can find a television transmitting propaganda around the clock ensuring the masses remain focused on trivial matters. From birth we take the world as it’s presented on television. We don't question it and any serious criticism of TV is becoming psychologically impossible in society. Who would suspect getting born into a world where everything around you is a continuous lie? The youth of today are convinced that the experts and personalities on television are the authority of credible information while parents and older generations are foolish with dated ideas. Children are conditioned to disconnect from what is truly important to their well being and instead focus on mindless trivia, sports, celebrity gossip, and buying an array of material things. They invest their psychological worth in fantasy characters on television while ignoring or even scorning individuals contributing to the betterment of humanity. They are discouraged from getting involved in their local community and often lack the ability to think independently or to resist corruption. As their children's minds are molded by television, there is barely a murmur from the public.

For over half a century, our society has lived under this signal of mental programming and conditioning. The message is clear: don't be a leader, don't engage in critical thinking, and don’t care about the people in your life. Until individuals become aware of the current information war, our standard of living and our liberties will continue to be degraded and we will continue to lose communities and meaningful relationships between people. Currently, pockets of resistance are beginning to spring up everywhere as some unplug the signal and regain control of their own thoughts. Informed individuals are canceling their cable and satellite subscriptions and instead spending time with their families and children while participating in meaningful experiences. They are seeking alternative news sources. They are reading about those who weld incredible influence over culture like Edward Bernays, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Charles Galton Darwin, Plato, Bertrand Russell, and Aldous Huxley. However, it is a continuous battle to educate the masses for the television remains our greatest threat to individual sovereignty and the largest obstacle to becoming a truly informed individual. Fortunately, unplugging from the signal is easy. The television can simply be turned off. Through doing so, you may realize nearly our entire world is now a hoax; things once known as truth are fake. We have been trained like dogs to be obedient to our television; our master has had our minds on a tight leash. Let us never forget the truth will not be televised.

BR, I can't read through yet another long post by you, but please let me say this.

I find it arrogant in the extreme on your part that every time you post you seem to think you have achieved some degree of enlightenment and can see things which we sheep-like people cannot.

I am not stupid, BR. I may be eeking out a living on benefits, but am highly educated and have worked in 4 different countries in jobs which had me working in environments as diverse as Paris restaurant kitchens and the top levels of government in an Eastern European country.

For what it's worth, I am privy to confidential information on the dubious workings of the IMF and World Bank in twisting the arm of Eastern Bloc governments when the Berlin Wall went down.... but does that mean I think I somehow know better than you or anyone else when discussing politics or world affairs? No. Because I don't.

Yet you seem to treat anyone who disagrees with you as somehow blinkered or naive.

Please have a modicum of respect for the people who post on here. They are a diverse and interesting bunch.

Actually David - the post was an article by someone else. Not any enlightenment by me at all ?

I have never really posted my own view on here on life and what is happening in the World. I have just posted many many posts regarding what other people have said ( like the article above or John Major's article on Saturday in the Mail )

You would not really understand my own World view......

This forum is about VIEWS and I like presenting many ideas because it is good to debate things. I have told you some of my own personal stories. When I have read something ( Like about Vitamin D3 ) I have shared it with you.

99% of my posts are positive and suggest ways in which we can all improve our lives. I am sick of the fear and negativity pumped out by New Labour and the BBC>

We are in hardly any danger from Terrorism ( more people will die from alcohol related illness today than from terrorism in the next 5 years ) and even less so from PAEDOS roaming the streets ( last time I looked most PAEDOS were safely in the House of Commons and Lords. )

Enjoy life.

Whatever you think of Ms Pratt ... the essence of what she is saying clearly rings true.

There has recently been a poll in The Times (of Gov employees at Downing St) which essentially backs-up her claims.

Now the Chancellor has come out and said "the forces of hell were thrown at him".

Ms Pratt may (or may not) have dubious reasons for starting her campaign, and it may (or may not) be wrong to reveal confidential material ... BUT what she is saying is clearly basically TRUE.

Along with his/her other shortcomings obviously statistics aren't BR's strong suit.

In my opinion the vast majority of BR's posts are negatives, attacking new labour and all the other institutions he/she doesn't agree with. When there is no evidence to support an opinion that doesn't concern BR as it then becomes a conspiracy theory. I wish BR would post something positive which "suggests ways in which we can all improve our lives" but I think that might be a little too much to hope for.

I am so fed up seeing BR's prejudiced posts on this forum I am serious considering not visiting again. I am a music lover and do have an interest in politics - What makes me, and I hope a lot of other people on this board, different from BR is that I have an open mind and am prepared to reach decisions and opinions based on fact. My plea to BR, please take off the blinkers and start using your brain to think and not preach.

I look at the 50 most recent threads on the Tipsheet board and there is a real absence of any meaningful discussion on any current music topic. The one topic that did (and should) have the most attention was the Brits and most of the comments were negative and "they don't make them like they used to"

BR has been asked to limit him/herself to a couple of short posts a day but recently seems to have forgotten this...

BR, I do find what you say to be thought provoking - and goodness knows we need more of that - but at least concerning this topic what would be the bast way forward?

Speaking for myself, I see television strictly as entertainment (which is what it was designed to be in first place). I don't even bother watching the news as it is just one side of the arguement - and what use is that? Ask the Afghans and they would tell you things that will never be broadcast on the BBC. For my news I catch the 7.30 AM headlines on Radio 2 - just enought to keep me updated. I have given up on newspapers altogether.

Regarding news. I watch a mix of BBC, CNN, Al Jazera, France 24, Russia Today and Press TV (Iran), via satelite (free - no money given to Murdoch), and so I get several sides to a story, but I doubt that I ever get the full picture. Each news channel seems to follow it's own agenda rather than just reporting the facts.

Thank you JK

I do hope you will be able to make this a music website again but to do so you will need to reverse the current posting trend.
