I couldn't believe it when I saw a report that states that the average American household views television for more than 8 hours per day! That is ridiculous, given the remedial levels at which television programming is designed.
It is obvious that the thinking level of most popular television shows is decidedly low. There isn't any earth-shaking thinking going on here. This may be ok for some entertainment, but 8 hours of viewing this mental garbage is not 'just entertainment'. That's actually a total day at work!
We are kidding ourselves if we think that this is innocuous. This is amounting to mental conditioning of America. There is a reason why the level of television programming is so low, and it is not to improve the critical thinking skills of television viewers. Actually, this incessant babble is more designed to entertain, pacify, narcotize and lull the viewer into a false sense of security and a state of dull complacency.
The scary thing about propaganda and mind control are that they are designed to be invisible to the victim. In fact, in order for it to work, the victim has to be ignorant of the tactics being used against him! Remember that the people designing the conditioning are doing it for THEIR benefit.
The study of propaganda, mind control, mass media, mental programming, social conditioning, persuasion and advertising is probably one of the most important things for people to understand in relationship to television. Although it seems to be harmless, the television is the most powerful tool ever designed for control of public perception and popular opinion. The greatest danger lies in the fact that television is so ubiquitous, so subtle, and so seemingly harmless, that it is readily dismissed as being such a serious threat to free thought, rational thought, and freedom itself.
Read some of the articles referenced in this article, and do your own research on the topic. Dictators and other megalomaniacs of years past have only dreamed of having the power at the disposal of the controllers of television programming. After about 75 or so years of research on this subject, they have the manipulation and control of popular opinion down to a science.
This is how people can believe that lies and misconceptions are facts, and how they can not tell the truth from lies. The television programmers construct a mental paradigm a conceptual distance of 3 standard deviations away from truth. In this way, they insure that less than 0.01% of people ever stray far away enough to find the truth. It has been working for years, and is in no threat of being discovered by the sleeping, dumbed-down masses. Do your duty and TURN OFF THE TELEVISION, and do some original thinking, research something independently, or go learn something for a change!

This article just about says it all...
The meltdown seems to be a foregone conclusion. The $64,000 question is whether the people of America will have the intelligence, the guts and the courage to stand up and rebuild America, or whether they will wither under the pressure and allow the oligarchs to obliterate and eradicate the concept of America and what it used to stand for.
Each person will be faced with this question. I guess it could be characterized as 'The Moment of Truth'. It is talked about in Marine bootcamp. It is the moment when the soldier comes eye-to-eye with the enemy. Will he aim true and shoot his weapon to send the enemy to meet his maker; or will he waffle, cower, run and hide, or hesitate and allow the enemy to kill him and/or win the encounter? In like manner, are we going to rise to the occasion and stand up for freedom, or will we continue to bask in the ignorance of irrelevant television programming and other mindless diversions from reality while America burns?
Because of complacency, mental and physical laziness, denial of personal responsibility, apathy, intellectual neglect and a large host of other reasons, now every American will be faced with an oncoming onslaught of life-or-death decisions. And remember that no decision IS a decision! I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this is a result of the choices that we have made to give up our own power to control our destiny to others. Now these choices are 'coming home to roost', and we're learning (the hard way) that others never have our best interests as their supreme priority. Why do you think that they call government organizations "agencies"? Because they are agents (of a foreign power), and are not working for our benefit, but for the benefit of the people they are agents for!
The bottom line is that YOU are going to have to become responsible IF you want to stay free and have the possibility to be prosperous. The time is now. This is the "Moment of Truth". You and your children's future depend on your choice.

Change, or more of the same?
http://english.pravda.ru/print/opinion/columnists/106616-change_bush-0
When will it ever change? People keep listening to political drivel and other excuses and rationalities for why the current state of affairs is not what we want it to be. The only way that things are going to change is when the People (or individuals that are in that group) finally get disgusted enough to get up and DO SOMETHING...
From all appearances, most Americans are comatose and totally complacent with the status quo. They have no energy to put down the remote control or get out of the Laz-y-Boy chair while watching Dancing With the Stars. I'm beginning to wonder if Americans have the mental and/or physical capacity to demand freedom. It appears that the desire for it has 'left the building' years ago. Jefferson once said that freedom required eternal vigilance if you want to keep it. This isn't a nation of vigilant people, unless you're talking about watching television or seeking entertainment.
I don't mean to sound like a total pessimist because I know of many Americans who are sick and tired of communist government officials foisting their socialist agendas upon the country, and are working to fight against it. Even if they're just fighting for their own freedom from government intervention, it is bigger fight than just an individual fight. Every battle against tyranny is for all people, especially those who are not yet born. We owe it to our future generations to fight for freedom and against tyranny so that our offspring may experience freedom. It is probably the most precious thing that one could have, because life has little meaning without it.

Inverted Totalitarianism
I found an excellent review for what appears to be an intriguing book on the decline of America. I've been speaking on these, and related topics for quite some time now. I think that it is becoming increasingly obvious that America is sick, and getting sicker with each passing day. There doesn't appear to be any will or desire inside the people of America to fight this. They have been lied to, controlled, conditioned, and mentally, spiritually, and physically threatened and attacked by their 'leaders'. Unfortunately, most people do not understand this on an intellectual level. They are the victims of intense mind control techniques, but vehemently deny it. But the proof is in the results.
America has been financially hollowed out. Manufacturing and other means of production, which constitute the foundation of a healthy economy, is decidedly absent. It has been wholly exported to 'Third World' countries where labor is much cheaper. So what we have now is a spoiled population that has been accustomed to a high standard of living that is no longer sustainable, economically speaking. In short, we have all of the finer tastes and desires for filet mignon, but only have the financial ability to pay for Spam (the cheap, substandard meat, not UCE).
The Powers-That-Be have engineered this situation. While the average American has been watching American Idol and listening to Britany Spears on his or her Ipod, the PTB has been employing the highest credentialed experts in psychology, advertising, conditioning, persuasion, marketing, etc., to maximize the mind control effect on everyone who watches TV (which is probably over 90% of people). This is why there is no outcry over the dastardly things that are being done to destroy America. These people have been careful not to make any perceived sudden moves that would cause such a discontinuity in the status quo that it would jarringly wake up the American Sheeple. Slow and steady towards the destination (the destruction of the middle class, destruction of trade unions, eradication of true education, assimilation of individuality, demoralization of the populace, impoverishment of many, the culling of the herd, etc.) wins the race. The race goes not to the swift, but to the persistent and diligent. There are very few persistent, diligent, independent thinking Americans left after 50+ years of acculturation by mass media.
This sounds incredulous to most, but this attitude is merely a symptom of high levels of conditioning. They say that when Columbus arrived at the shores of the Americas, the natives couldn't see the ships that were on the sea on the horizon because it didn't fit into their belief structure. In like manner, most people thought that the 'conspiracy theorists' were crazy when they were not in agreement about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars which have subsequently been proven to have been justified based on outright lies. We could go on and on with numerous examples of this. The point is that everybody knows that politicians lie, but yet the People continue to strongly desire to believe them! This is a textbook case study of chronic cognitive dissonance. It takes no Ph.D. in psychology to understand this, but just an ability to think for self without being spoonfed 'your' opinion by some highly paid media toadie.
With the erosion of the economy looming in the future, Americans will not have to believe what I, and others like me say. They will be living with the results of choosing chronic apathy over concern, ignorance over careful study, entertainment over substance, attacking and villifying "conspiracy theorists" instead of adroitly questioning 'authorities', 'going-along-to-get-along' over standing up against the alleged majority on principle, voting Demopublican over refusing to vote for obviously corrupted candidates, watching television over reading books with real content. I can guarantee you that the fruits of such choices will not be pleasant.
I hope that in some way, a significant number of people will be inspired to work to put an end to this pathetic state of affairs in America. I realize that there are a lot of people in America who do not agree with the cabal that has hijacked the country. Let us hope, for the sake of ourselves, our children, and the rest of the world that we succeed in putting an end to this scourge of humanity that calls itself the leadership of America.

Has Your Perception Been 'Socially Engineered'?
I've been busy with a lot of research and work, but now I'm back! Anyway, I've found a great little article that goes into depth about the propaganda with which we are bombarded from virtually all mainstream media sources. We are literally awash in a sea of propaganda! If you want the entire story about the workings of the establishment, you need to read this work. It is long, but it gets right to the process that has been developed over about a 60 year period. The author explains the process that has been crafted, studied and perfected by experts in communications, psychology, biology, etc., to give the controllers of mass media (television, in particular) the power to create and control perception. To make a long story short, the programmers of television now have the power to guide public opinion and basically do whatever they want to do while the hapless viewers go right along with it. You can call it social programming, mind control, consensual reality programming, population control, brainwashing, etc., but the result is the same. The 'Powers-That-Be' have startling, virtually unfettered control over society. And it doesn't matter whether or not you actually believe everything that they tell you is truth! This is because they manipulate the context of all discourse on television. If I can control the context of any topic, I can create any perception of that topic that I choose. So the television is a very subtle, but extremely powerful tool for social engineering and control. In fact, it is the most powerful mind control tool ever devised to date. You really owe it to yourself to read the essay.
I found the second part of the first article above, and it continues along the same lines. In this article, the author (a Ph.D.) shows some of the methods being used in the media for social control purposes. The old saying is, "Familiarity breeds contempt." This is found to be the case with information. I remember when secret societies were seen as non-existent by the masses, and people would think you were crazy for even mentioning anything related to it. But now, it is an 'open secret', and is even mentioned in mainstream sources. But the emotionally charged labels (i.e., conspiracy theory) allows a mind controlled victim to effortlessly dismiss whatever follows, regardless of the validity, justification, or evidence supporting the conclusion that may follow. It appears to me to be 'the path of least resistance'. Unfortunately, the path of least resistance usually leads to failure.
On another note, I've found an article that demonstrates that Bush has challenged (i.e., violated) hundreds of laws as President. Now when the average person violates the law, they are arrested. The only difference between a normal person breaking the law, and a public official breaking the law is that the public official has actually taken an oath to uphold the law (specifically, the Constitution, as delineated in Article 6, Section 2). So when a public official breaks his oath of office, they are open for impeachment, and then for charges of high treason. But in my years, I've never seen a more blatant exercise of dictatorial power by a president than those committed by the present occupant. This is a grave danger to this country. If the president can do what he wants, regardless of the illegality, then doesn't that make him: 1) above the law; 2) an emperor; 3) a despot; 4) and it means that THE LAWS DON'T MATTER ANYMORE. The Constitution was written as a contract in which government officials take an oath not to trespass on the rights of the People as protected in said Constitution. The penalty for the trespass on the People's rights is impeachment, but it appears to me that there is collusion between the other 2 branches of government (judicial and legislative) to allow Bush to be the dictator/emperor of America. Think it could never happen in America? Well, it already has!
If you want to do something, if you're tired of the crap, start to join the ranks of the citizens who are working to fight this corruption. I found an attorney who was fighting the power, and has suffered a lot, but he's making a difference. If we all do our part, we can change things. But sitting in front of the idiotbox is not a success strategy, and will not preserve any semblance of freedom for our posterity (our kids). Americans need to get a bit tougher. Freedom isn't free, and it won't hurt you nearly as much today if you fight than it will when America becomes Nazi America. I'm not exaggerating here, as you can tell if you were paying attention to the information above. Genocide has been a standard operating procedure for most governments. So don't think that it is an aberration. Do your own research. I don't ask you to believe anything I've said here. Expend a bit of energy and do your own investigation. Wake up and get outta that Laz-e-Boy chair...
