Media Filter

The past two decades there has been a large shift in the way we use media. The term media applies to any form if press that injects opinion and narrative into its reporting. Its especially prevalent in the obfuscation of truth from fact.

In the 2020 election we can observe that even these entities can not come to a consensus in any manner. Which should be simple as numbers are exclusively indicative of fact. All that is needed is to show the numbers as they receive them.

However that is far from the truth. As we all watched in real time, the media machine put one candidate out in front the entire time, truth. While holding out on another that had captured states and even reversing or falsely claiming states.

What a mess.

Regardless how this turns out I think a few things are clear.

An agenda is being pushed and facts are being skewed to push it. Whoever wins, it won't feel like a win. If there ever was a danger to our democracy, it's by the media. If ever there was a domestic attack on Americans, its by the media.

Two predictions:
Blockchain voting. Expect it.
Protests, riots and looting. (Way more than now obviously)

Got to admit have heard a little about the security of Blockchain "voting" have you got a good link for people to read about it.

That would be an entire thread on its own.

Simplified, it looks something like this and I'll toss in some keywords you can use to search yourself if you wish

Digital Identification Cards (dids). Similar to banking KYC/AML regulations you can generate a non fungible (single/unique) digital Identification card.

An open ledger (blockchain) would be opened for the election and participants would have the information logged. Its immutable (unable to be changed)

Thanks I'll do that.

Just stumble across this one after searching "why is blockchain so secure"

I'm going to have grab a cup of coffee before I delve into it too much further, interesting stuff, I think I get the gist of it so far.

It took me about 6 months of research to halfway understand.


Hoping your intelligence is superior to mine. (Pretty low bar there.)

Doubtful we will see but I'm likely elementary school level on this subject, but we need another way.

We will have to be presented with it then beg for it.


Just wait.

It is a smooth running machine, the media.

Anyone attempting to counter the narrative is
immediately branded with a label, right wing,
racist, conspiracy theorist, troll. All the news
basically comes from the same place.

All of the ABC news have the same talking points.
Now it is fortified with the talking heads that
that were fired from the FBI and DOJ.

Then you have the little social media networks
that allow people to think they have freedom
of speech, while only certain topics are allowed
but it seems to be working rather well at placating
the masses. There will be no awakening as the young
generations have all been conditioned to this kind
of technocrat rule from a young age, indoctrinated
and intentionally dumbed down K-12.

If civilization lasts long enough, full enslavement
will be achieved, and unless everything is wiped
out technology wise, I do not see a way to stop
the inevitable outcome.

The last 4 years was a gift folks.
Choose your battles wisely.

Cultivated like an elaborate garden.

Surveillance is fun!

I suspect they might wake up at some point,
but will it be too late?

Conditioning is a very powerful thing.
