My house has no TV, but if I had kids these days I would bring home some old TVs and encourage them to take a baseball bat to them for fun. Seriously. And I would teach the kids to give every advertisement that appears in their field of vision, whether from the private or public sector, a considered mental response. It might be simply, "Bah Humbug!" But whatever the message in the ad, I would tell the kids, never, ever take it into your mind without considering it carefully. The ad is there because someone wants something from you. Who is that someone? What is it they want? And why do they want it from you? It's not that all ads are bad; of course sometimes there's a service or product or event or something that I would appreciate knowing about. My point is, being passive about allowing random messaging into one's mind can be dangerous— and it's so much better to be apprised of this earlier in life than to find out the hard way later.
Yes, but it is not just adds but songs that have simplistic and not so subtle messages about very complex and important social issues, (such as love and marriage) that influence our entire perspective, and have a nice catchy impossible to get out of our heads tune that goes around and around...
Could be why adds have songs and tunes with them?
I am sure music is a major element of psychological training in our society.
Good point on music being used for negative psychological training. Remember the Macarena? The lyrics are having a laugh about cheating on one's boyfriend, and the dance is acting it out. A subtle and I fear quite effective message normalising cheating. In recent years, someone set a Matariki song to the tune of the Macarena (eew...) and it's having a revival. To rise above, we need to engage in positive art as well as avoid the negative stuff...
Positive reinforcement- indeed, could be why there is an entire book of Songs in scripture, to provide the lyrics for the music we need as part of our lives and worship of God. Shame the music is not recorded also, although someone recons they have found the musical notations in the Psalms, but from what I have heard of their transcriptions I am not impressed.
After reading through hundreds of FOI documents of government emails from the covid era I can say that the government middle managers doing the nudging are so embedded in the propaganda themselves that they genuinely believe the narrative.
They believe that the ends justify the means, and that end was vaccination at all costs no matter who was censored, tortured, or destroyed along the way. They believed so hard that those who were damaged by the response were spun as ‘they did it to themselves - if they had just complied, they would not have been hurt. They deserve it.’
These middle managers are the perfect slaves to the system.
The predators at the top do not believe, and know exactly what is happening.
Yes, I totally agree. You only have to watch interviews with the so-called fact-checker-celebrities like NZs Siouxzeee Wiles or BBCs Marianna Spring to recognise them as victims of propaganda. They may never recover from that disease, sadly.
My introduction to propaganda was at school in, I think, 1964, just post the Olympic games. Our 6th form English teacher read us the cover story in Time magazine headlined something like: "If you want to see where the gold is, go to the US headquarters" which were apparently chokka with all their gold medals. Then a couple of pages over was the actual medal table - remember this was at the height of the cold war. The US had 1 or 2 more gold medals than the Soviets, but the latter had way more in total. He used it as an illustration of how misleading propaganda can be and how it can be used. I've never forgotten it; as a lesson it was unparalleled.
There is so much basic information we are not taught at school and so much garbage that we never use that is taught.
Er maybe school is just another psyop?- obviously today it is with all the woke crap etc., but also way back in the 'good old days' when we should have been taught the basics that we only now learn when we have retired and have time to think about life a bit.
Home schooling is an interesting subject, but what happed to the idea that parents just teach their kids what they know, such as a trade and they then "carry on the family business" or tradition etc. ?
Why does "schooling" have to have a formal curriculum?
And of course the NZ (and I'm sure others too) government's PR spend skyrocketed during covid. Politics and propaganda go hand in hand, with the other hand holding tightly onto PR.
Thankyou for helping break the spell. Like the psychopath.. Once you SEE them their power over you is over. It is impossible not to forgive those who have been so misled, however, now, when presented with the widely confirmed facts, they must stand against this global holocaust or be considered part of their, ultimately satanic cult.
We are blessed to have this Reverend who sounded the alarm 45 years ago. I believe his vision is clear.
Very well written and presented! The Chinese are the world's most advanced propagandists and manipulators of perception. Here is a test: What is the population of China? 1.4 billion right? Recent authoritative estimates are between 300 to 500 million. Mattias Desmet is also an excellent source on this subject as it relates to totalitarianism and the covid scam/fraud/plandemic.
Excellent post.

I tell everyone: if something is free, you are the product.
This has served me well my entire life.

Martin—yes indeed.

Thanks for your support, Michael! I agree about China, but who can trust any data nowadays? I wrote a bit about Matthias' book here: https://open.substack.com/pub/informedheart/p/covid-era-books-thoughts-on-some?r=q9aq0&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false and I also spoke about his concept of Mass Formation in the context of New Zealand here: https://youtu.be/ejv_pyTMYaA?feature=shared
