*Our Own Consciousness vs Propaganda*
/“Why is it important to understand the techniques of propaganda and
how
they work? Because - tucked in places and designed in ways you might
not
notice, propaganda designers have been putting hidden messages into
television commercials, news programs, magazine ads and more. These
messages have been carefully designed to influence our opinions,
emotions, attitudes and behavior. Their purpose is to persuade us to
believe in something or to do something that we would not normally
believe or do. Most importantly, these messages have been designed to
benefit someone, and that someone may not be you The techniques of
propaganda are used every day, in the military, in the media, in
advertising, in politics, and in all sorts of human relationships. It's
not as easy as you might think to spot hidden messages. Propaganda
designers know you are on your guard. To get around your guard, they
don't put one message into a piece of propaganda - they put lots of
messages into each piece! The more you know about propaganda techniques
and how they work, the less likely it is that someone will sneak
something by you” / theunjustmedia.com/Propaganda/Propaganda
/ “Keep Thine Heart with all diligence for out of it flow the issues
of
life”/ Proverbs 4:23
Unlike totalitarian regimes where the ruling elites control the media
and there are few if any options other than the crude mind control
apparatus of the state, AmeriKKKa’s mind control and psychological
warfare techniques are more varied and subtle. In AmeriKKKa we have
access to literally hundreds of channels, thousands of radio stations
and publications spewing propaganda messages hidden within and beneath
the images, music, advertising, news, fake news and “entertainment”
all
of which is designed to influence our thinking, beliefs and behavior.
The goal of the propagandist and psy-op specialist is to program our
minds in such a way we internalize their ideas, values and agenda but
think it is our own ideation, thoughts and volition or better yet
don’t
think about our thoughts at all! This explains why at one time over
seventy per cent of AmeriKKKans actually believed Saddam Hussein had
WMD
and he was personally associated with 9-11! Why? Because the corporate
media and Bu$h and Co kept pounding those lies day and night; Hussein
and Iraq posed a dire and eminent threat to AmeriKKKa. Everyone in the
Bu$h administration was involved in the charade even the one man in the
cabal who had a modicum of credibility, Colin Powell, which he
immediately squandered by his shameless disingenuous performance at the
UN. Propaganda is all around us. Our psycho-social environment is
permeated by it. AmeriKKKa boasts whole industries (advertising, PR,
entertainment and news) that do nothing but lie to us, trick us or play
on our fears, inadequacies hidden desires and fantasias. It is all part
of a nefariously ingenious mind control process designed to make us
outer directed and totally dependent upon the propagandists and psy-op
manipulators for our self-image and reality.
Thus far it has worked like a charm for them. The prime example is
9-11.
They used that event which any thinking person must conclude could not
have happened without some US government involvement and support to
further their own villainous agenda. Ponder this, only through overt
propaganda, trickery and psychological manipulation could a man who got
into the Texas Air National Guard to escape going to Vietnam, who
subsequently went AWOL for months from his unit, be depicted as a
“War
President” and fitting Commander in Chief!!
Propaganda, even the sophisticated type employed by the ruling elites,
the corporate media, Hollywood and Madison Avenue can be easily
neutralized and countered simply by thinking for ourselves! Remember
the
goal of the propagandist is to trick us into accepting their
“reality”
as self- generated cogitation. Sustained critical thinking counters
propaganda every time. Why, because it is self-generated thought from
within us, not outer induced mind control. Think of propaganda as
hypnotism, where the psy-op specialists plant suggestions, images,
sounds and disinformation while we are in a relaxed, unsuspecting and
receptive state/mood. This is exactly what happens every time we watch
television, listen to the radio , the iPod or read. But if we maintain
an attitude of healthy scepticism and critical thinking while we are
consuming their media,they cannot get to us as easily. If we think
using
our thought processes and our memories discerning their patterns and
how
they operate we will be less susceptible to their trickery. If we
refuse
to turn our mind over to the programmers they cannot succeed. If we
question everything, if we maintain a state of disbelief until we mull
the information and meditate on what we are being told we will be less
inclined to go for the okie-doke.
For example the Native Americans know the white man can’t be trusted,
so
their experiences with Europeans should make them suspect the motives
of
whites in everything. Our history at the hands of Europeans should make
us leery of just about everything they say. We know first hand about
their depravity, their terrorism and torture. So there should be no
doubt in our minds the US military and CIA are torturing the people of
Iraq and Afghanistan. The Abu Ghraib pictures should not have surprised
a single black person. After Hurricane Katrina, can we doubt the
cold-blooded heartlessness of Bu$h and his minions? Yes forgiveness
comes into play but forgiveness doesn’t mean we are to be stupid!
Guard
your mind. The boxing referee tells the combatants, “protect yourself
at
all times”, so should we! Think thoughts, create and utter
affirmations
that allow you to discern the TRUTH of your life situations and about
what is going on around you. Visualize peace and harmony and work
towards inner tranquility and allow that to radiate outward. Do not
consume mass doses of media uncritically. Scrutinize and analyze
everything you watch and read. Ask yourself who does this benefit, why
did they say that, why did they do that and this is true according to
whom? Once you are satisfied with the answers your higher self and
higher consciousness gives, proceed based upon this inner guidance
rather than being outer directed by the advertisers, propagandists and
psy op specialists. It is better to think for yourself using trial and
error than totally and unconditionally accept someone else’s version
reality and become their zombie.
