I wanted to add 'No Kidding' at the end of the title, but I don't like long titles either. And it's wrong anyway because it should include the NSA, DHS, DoD, NATO and all the other vast acronyms we have now.

This is an old video from 1975 that is another knot in the string to an never ending study of the corruption of the media. It is a tool used for propaganda, commercialism and manipulation through fear and other reaction triggering devices in us, at a subconscious level(sometimes even conscious ones).

I know it's an old video, but I think that makes a strong point in itself. If they were doing this in 1975 just imagine what is going on now! With the influx of information going in and coming out, one may not even realize the brainwashing that's occurring just through simple exposure to it all.


Stop the corral sheep!


And just to add this in, even though it's not part of the main topic, but runs parallel to it:
How do you change the laws surrounding gun control in our country? (take them away from honest law abiding citizens)
Well imagine if someone were to concoct a scheme similar in practice to church recruitment methods. "Get 'em while they're young" comes to mind. When I was in school saying the word 'gun' was not a bad thing, but not any more. Playing cops and robbers was not bad either, but that has been trended out also now. Even so much as pointing your finger at someone, can get you expelled these days!
On a subconscious and even conscious level that is CONDITIONING. What makes it even worse is the fact that these are young children being conditioned to believe guns are bad, when in truth sick people are the villains. Guess what they will most likely grow up believing?
Well how did it all get that way. Columbine, Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook - these things are not new events, but what is new is the coverage they received due to mass media. And because of this coverage - this FEAR, movements, demonstrations, laws became easy targets for a more nefarious agenda. An agenda that is yet to reveal itself. . .

Here is a wiki link on USA school shooting from 1760 to today:

Just a matter of the coverage eh?

The Senator in charge of Sandy Hook is now the biggest man in Hollywood.

Oh but we live in a free state where the corporate media has mere "bias" right?

Pffff!!

Nothing is as it seems.

They will control all transmissions and create all illusions.

This has been going on in one medium or another for as long as we've had mediums to use. Seeing how that can be plants and rocks, than well, that's quite a long time. It seems we've become a victim of our own taboos because surely our governments would never do things counter to the greater good of it citizenry.

It amazes me that after watching countless video that show clear manipulation of the highest order in every single major national and international event and "we" as a collective stare blankly in disbelief.

Something occurred to me recently. If and when "we" invade Syria I will profess myself an oracle. Second only to his lord Jesus Christ. Because how else can you explain such foresight.

It's all circular and controlled.



Congressman Oscar Callaway lost his Congressional election for opposing US entry into WW 1. Before he left office, he demanded investigation into JP Morgan & Co for purchasing control over America’s leading 25 newspapers in order to propagandize US public opinion in favor of his corporate and banking interests, including profits from US participation in the war. Mr. Callaway alleged he had the evidence to prove Morgan associates were working as editors to select and edit articles, with the press receiving monthly payments for their allegiance to Morgan.

1917: J.P. Morgan bought US corporate media to be 1%’s lying sacks of spin?

If they were doing this in 1975 just imagine what is going on now!




Indeed! If you start to look down that rabbit hole you will soon find how deep it goes!

CEO of the MPAA, Chris Dodd was the Connecticut Senator during Sandy Hook.

There are many parallels and connections between SH and the film industry.

If the alphabet agencies are creating fictional news stories it helps to have the Motion Picture Association of America on their side.

Attempting.
Attempting to manipulate.

Ford attempts to manipulate the US too. So does Google. See those targeting ads?
Does it work on you?

It doesn't have to manipulate everyone. Just enough to make you the outcast.

The point was that it should be no surprise that such things were, are, and will be done on a variety of levels.

The point is that it is important to use critical thinking, no matter what the situation. Buying a car or listening to the 6:00 news.

The CIA probably are still filling newspapers with their propaganda, as do the vast majority of big business. Because of the internet newspapers are slowly in decline and are more desperate for extra money than ever.

Also because of the internet though I hope people are becoming more analytical as they have access to information sources from all aspects the political spectrum. Slowly the reputation of the tabloid press is dwindling.

I thought it was a job requirement of the CIA to use any resources possible to manipulate the public perception. Maybe the DHS has that job now though.

Except when a company lies to you - you can choose not to buy their product.

Paying taxes is mandatory... so the bad governance you get is a service you HAVE TO buy. Including the blowback.

Corporate media has and always will be a propaganda tool used to guide the masses. This documentary says it all.

Thanks for all the replies everyone, this subject is a work in progress for me that just started a week or two ago. If anyone would be interested to follow, all my recent posts are on this topic, with respect to certain threads I travel now. I am not posting for entertainment anymore, this no longer feels like a game to me. It has become much more.
I refuse to be part of the problem and now I've become the outcast. All media in the world is controlled by few and the internet has become the next big tool. I'm in the process of breaking things down for clarity as I go, but it's a daunting task and certain things cannot even be stated on this board without repercussions. All corporations must follow laws.
I'm in the hope that this quest will become much more of a crusade with like minded individuals, this was not my intent when it started. The truth is out there, even if it's just blind commercialism. But from what I've seen already, that seems to be a very naive thought.
Any pertinent info is greatly appreciated!
Feel welcome to PM me or do it here, thank you all for your input.
This isn't just about what we buy, it's also about how we act or should I say react!

Good night. . . AB

Good point phage but perhaps today's education is designed to stamp out critical thinking.

If the trend in the level of commentary on ATS is over the past several years is any indication, I would have to agree.
