The Event? Is it aimed at putting people off the scent?

Hello Everyone, I'm new, can't actually remember if I already said hello or not because I joined a couple of weeks ago, but anyway, hello.

I noticed something interesting a couple of weeks ago, (I'm in the UK in case anyone in the US is wondering why I'm talking about a 'new' TV prog that probably started in the US months ago haha.)

Just so you know the background, I have recently been reading about the theory that tv and films are made to suggest to the audience that certain things will happen in the future in order to condition people, and also read an interesting article about how the Illuminati is intending to stage a fake alien invasion in order to create a common enemy so people are easier to control, allowing them to create the New World Order etc.

(Having said that, I was also thinking maybe the fake aliens theory is actually not true, maybe they are real and the Illuminati is pretending they are not real and putting out fake conspiracy theories as some sort of double bluff. Of course, I could be completely wrong about this, I have no idea. Well I'm confused now haha.)

Anyway, here is my original point, I was thinking about this sort of thing and while reading the Radio Times discovered that there is a new TV programme called the Event. In case you don't know it is all about some big government conspiracy theory. The reviewer in RT mentioned The Event has an online blog called truth seeker. I thought that was odd, it's like the website called the truthseeker.co.uk.

That made me wonder, are the people who made The Event trying to undermine the original truthseeker website and also conspiracy theories in general by somehow making both the site and the theories seem fake or foolish? So people will think, 'oh that's just some made up stuff from the telly'?

Here is the original (and very interesting) truthseeker site: www.thetruthseeker.co.uk
and here is the fake blog made up for The Event: www.truthseeker5314.com

If you go to the blog they also have a link to another fake looking site called illuminati files, I am assuming that this is made up by The Event's makers as well. It doesn't seem very well researched, there is even a comment left by someone questioning the accuracy of some of the details of one of the posts. It's very odd, like they are trying to clog up the internet with a few fake conspiracy theory sites to dilute and discredit the real ones.

I'd be interested in hearing other peoples opinions.

Hi and welcome

Im in the UK too....i caught the first 2 episodes of the Event last week, was a pretty good program from what i saw but if it holds any truth is another matter

With 2012 looming i feel a lot of directors and buisnesses are cashing in on it.

If it comes from NBC, CBS or ABC you can be sure that there is an agenda behind the content of the show. Put yourself in a mega billionaires shoes. What kind of games would you play? Chess with large groups of people. How do you get them to move? Media.

Thanks for the replies, I haven't watched it myself, looks interesting. Unfortunately I always loose track of these sorts of programmes and get confused (like when I watched a few episodes of Lost )
If they made them shorter I might be able to manage it better haha.
I completely agree about the agenda thing, the media are so dodgy, I can't stand to watch a lot of TV. When I do watch things ,especially news, I'm often on the look out for what they might be trying to get people to believe. Sometimes it gets so confusing it's difficult to know what the truth is. I suppose the key is to somehow keep open minded but skeptical at the same time if that makes any sense.

its a good show, makes you think, and i think the producers or writers are lurkers on here and other tin foil hat sites

I believe what you say about the media. We are all subjected relentlessly to what "they" want us to view. It's getting worse, and our children don"t know any better. How do we help them?

It's a tv show to entertain you. Plain and simple.

They have these websites for shows that are on the fringe now a days because they want fringe people, ie, people who spend most of their time on the interwebs instead of in front of a tv.

It's a bad show too...I wouldn't waste too much more time watching it.

Also, everyone who makes a thread asking about the conspiracy of this show blah blah blah, is giving them free publicity.

Thanks for your post,I only saw the first episode and it was interesting,I have not been able to keep up with it though due to my work schedule,I do think we are being fooled into believing aliens are real,or set up to believe they are good..Any how I made a post yesterday,and if you check it out you will see that there is technology out there that could be used to believe things that are not real..Stars and Flags for your post..Thanks..

Interesting post.

It has been the practice of the U.S. government to infiltrate and discredit what they want to destroy or groups that they want to silence. In the 1960's the F.B.I. is said to have put fake war protesters in with various groups protesting the vietnam "conflict". These infiltrators supposedly had orders to discredit and destroy from within, to the extent of even being the leaders of physical violence against the very establishment that they were serving only to make peaceful people seem anything but. I'm sure this is not uncommon in all governments.

This being said, I would guess that since media is an extremely powerful tool to control the public, it would not be unthinkable that it would indeed be used by government to control or socially engineer the populous. Social engineering cannot be denied, in my humble opinion, if you look at history. Both world history and U.S. history.

I was telling people 25 years ago that the NWO was trying to take over the world, and I was laughed at. Now it is a common place term that politicians use to describe the rise of the common world government that various nefarious entities that exist behind and above government and corporations want to institute to control the world. But that's another forum.

My point is that social engineering is a reality. If you want to put your ideals into the minds of people as a group and you don't have direct mind control, ( and don't get me started on that cough: haarp: cough ), you don't do it all at once. You do it in baby steps using every tool available to spread your dogma. The least of which is the media.

While I AM NOT comparing the U.S. Government to the Nazi regime, if you look at how they Nazis slowly shifted the german people's view of the Jews and also used these baby steps to get the Jews themselves to do things, you can see a good example of social engineering in the twentieth century. They didn't just tell the german people to hate the jews...they slowly sewed misinformation about them. They didn't just round the Jews up and put them into concentration camps. First they made them identify themselves with the Star of David, then they put them in ghettos, THEN they told the Jews they were going to work camps, etc. All this happened over a period of several years from the very early thirties until the allies defeated them in 1945.

Of course my opinion and 6 bucks will get you coffee anywhere...

you`ll deffo get confused with this one, its all over the place, going back once or twice in time per programme to help give you some back ground to the story is acceptable, but every 5-10 minutes in every episode all so 5-10 different time periods their taking the piss, having said that it was watchable ,as for any truth just looks like unbelievable bad science.

Whoa thanks for all the posts everyone,

Superman - I have to admit when I posted the link I wondered if I was giving them a bit of free publicity by mentioning it(not to mention free page visits to their site), but then on the other hand, I thought if I didn't say anything, then I'm not able to tell people my opinion. But I understand your point. It is a bit of a dilemma in some ways.
I think your comment about them wanting to attract people who spend more time on the internet is a good point, I had not thought of that. It does make sense that they might want to attract a crowd of people who are maybe moving towards other forms of entertainment/media back to watching television.

I suppose it could be just that it is made by people who are interested in these sort of subjects, maybe visiting sites like this even, and not necessarily interested in doing anything sinister. I'm sure there are some things which are purely made by people who just have an interest in the subject, but then it would not at all surprise me if there are other people who do things because they have an agenda. I think that's the most confusing thing, knowing who is in on it, who isn't in on it, and who might be in on it without knowing they are in on it. If that makes any sense haha.

UnknownSheep - I completely agree, especially about the gradual process the media and government seem to be employing to get people used to things. There are things I have noticed, how opinions have changed over the last 10 or 15 years that seem odd.
I'm only 28 but when I look back at things from when I was younger there is a definite shift in attitudes.

I may be going slightly off the subject but one of the things that bothers me is that the attitude of the media seems to get more and more uncaring, which then influences a lot of people. For instance, the media always seems to demonise fat people. This is just one thing I have noticed, I am sure when I was younger there was less of this sort of attitude. I thought people not so long ago would associate fat people with being jolly, for instance Father Christmas.
Of course I could just be remembering things as seeming better than they were, and I'm not suggesting that noone was ever nasty to a fat person before 1994 for instance, and maybe I am wrong about this, I can't really explain it but it just feels odd somehow.

Again, something else I get an odd feeling about, at the moment TV and newspapers seem to enjoy demonising people who don't have a job or who are on benefits. I don't get it, how can they put down people who don't have a job when they know full well there are not many jobs in this country at the moment? If there aren't many jobs, a lot of people are not going to have jobs. It is common sense. I am sure the vast majority of people who are unemployed are not doing it on purpose. When I hear someone doesn't have a job, I don't think they are a scrounger like a lot of the media are telling me to think, I think well that must be difficult, and have sympathy for them.

It's just that, while there are bound to be some people around who are taking advantage and getting things they are not entitled to, I think there are less of these people around than the media would have us believe.
I think that often people who really need the help and moral support are not getting it, they are just getting this negative attitude thrown at them all the time and being tarred with one brush.

People can't find jobs because the government agreed to remove restrictions so that banks could take more risks, the banks come up with some ridiculous risky way of making money which was bound to end in disaster, which leads to the recession, which leads to companies going down the pan, which leads to normal people through no fault of their own not being able to find a job, and who gets blamed? The people who can't get jobs. What a ridiculous cycle.
I don't know what the point of it all is or if I am seeing things in an exaggerated way (because I had a lot of trouble getting a job a while ago, so it hits a nerve) but it strikes me as being odd, even though I don't entrirely understand it. Are they trying to destroy people or what? I don't get it. Maybe they are trying to turn people against each other or something. No matter what they do, you do the wrong thing.

Well, here is what I think the answer to all this is (at the risk of sounding cheesy):
I read an article on truthseeker.co.uk (yeah my favourite site again haha. wish I could remember which article it was, it was good) which said that the Illuminati try to control by fear. I think they also try to control by despair as well. The answer is that even when times are hard, hard times do pass, and that people shouldn't be afraid. We shouldn't be afraid of being ourselves and of thinking what we want to think, even though they make it difficult (and even though there may be times when they trick us), basically whether you happen to believe in the Illuminati, or if you just believe that the world is just in the grip of a harmful attitude which has got out of control, either way, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

PatriotsPride -that looks interesting, I will take a look at that thread, thanks for the link.

badgrammaman - lol, I got really confused with Lost with all the flashbacks, I kept thinking, 'how did that happen? How did they get off the island?' and then I would realise they were just thinking back to something that happened before they were stuck on the island. I think these programmes just go to fast for me. I am so slow haha. If I watched them at half their normal speed I might have half a chance haha.

That TV show "premieres" here (New Zealand) in two days - I have just heard the millionth trailer for it ... I am frankly surprised it's taken so long!
Usually we get American TV shows here only days after they begin in the USA, and NZ networks (especially the one that's American-owned) have boasted in the past that they have some American shows that play here before they show in the USA. SF is an exception, usually...
If 'The Event' is disinfo/propaganda, I am even more surprised we've had to wait. (Contrast UK shows, we either don't get 'em, at all, or not for many years.) Yeah, I know that's off topic, I just had to say it.

Richard Hoagland has written that he thinks 'The Event' is specially designed to prepare us all for "disclosure." Since everything Hoagland says and writes is invariably wrong, you can be quite sure that this is not the case.

I agree with yoesse, if a big network is doing this, possibly there is an agenda.

TPTB like it right under your nose and in your face.

Almost like a rule of "the game".

Don't watch that much TV so I am now watching the first episode on HULU.

So far this appears to be a well budgeted series and the actors are okay, (not stupendous).

The jumping around is annoying and confusing but maybe as I progress with each episode the story line will become clearer.

Hoping to read more thoughts on this program.

The Event is doing a poor job at pretty much everything. Ratings are spiraling down to the point that for the last 3 episodes 98.3% of the target audience wasn't watching it.

Considering the expectations NBC had for The Event before the start of the tv-season, the expensive on-site filming, the ensemble cast and the abysmal ratings, this show should be taken off the air pretty soon.

Although I will admit that NBC's decision to order a full season last October was slightly puzzling seeing as how the ratings were already taking a nosedive at that point. That didn't make much business sense.
