Everything you see and hear is SCRIPTED

That's one of many examples.

Also, watch The Body of War by Thomas Young. You'll see politicians follow scripts also.

Now ask yourself, are things truly as they seem?

Food for thought....

It's just to keep you longer on that website and generate more clicks to earn money with advertising shown after every new click.

We've got an online computer magazine working with 50 click cascades "most beautiful desktop backgrounds", "best freeware games ever", "ultimate must have tools for Windows 8", etc.
And the bored or curious ones click 50 times and generate 50 hits to be payed by the advertisers.

It is really very annoying to hear a newscast that starts:

"Mideast tensions at worst level since 1967;
Russia threatens nuclear anihilation;
Sleeper cells suspected in major US cities;
Major fatal epidemic feared;
Financial upheaval threatens new Great Depression;

But, first, Miley Cyrus and her new video..."

What also burns me up is Tv news teasers that run early in the day, such as: "The item you have in your home that will kill you unexpetedly...report on the 11 PM news"...


<O>

Ratings ratings ratings. Control through fear. That just about sums up the media. Be afraid, be very afraid. Be careful not to drink 2% milk after midnight on a Saturday, or you may be at risk for congenital heart failure.

It makes you wonder where these cockamamie reports come from, and the manner in which they're tested. Check out sometime how doctors found the "evidence" to support the far-reaching claim that Cannabis kills brain cells. What they won't tell you is the test monkeys were given hundreds of times the dosage of THC that is found in the Cannabis plant through gas masks over a period of DAYS. Some monkeys died, others suffered severe mental damage. Do you know why this happened? Asphyxiation! They were deliberately starved of oxygen to produce the results that the pharma companies (who were funding the tests) wanted to see. Now talk to anybody who thinks Cannabis is bad, and I bet you a million they'll say "it kills brain cells." Oh but we think for ourselves do we? We merely salivate when Pavlov rings the bell. We're no more free than a house cat who knows nothing of the world outside.

It is this ignorance that is killing us, and it's the constant fear mongering propagated through media channels that makes us unable to act upon anything.

I have yet to see anything uplifting or fulfilling in the news.

Billions of bucks are pounded into research just to sell you a load of crap that you'll buy.
Watch Brain Games a few times and see how your conned every single day!
:haha:

gi_dan2987 12-26-13 03:24 PM

Oh I'm fully aware of the con job going on. I call it FUBAR and SNAFU and it's going on everywhere!

Our whole society is really just a giant Ponzi scheme that moves valueless paper currency around pretending it's money. Think about our everyday lives: Wake up, eat, work all day, buy stuff after work, go home, eat, watch brainwashvision, sleep, repeat.

Yes, we are SUCH a free society!

If it's anything like the book I wouldn't bother.

You guys may not believe it, but I sold my TV 2 weeks ago. The only thing worth watching on public TV was the News, which are also available through the Internet tubes.

Thinking about it, my favourite News anchor on the "tubes" is a guy named Jim :O:

I gave away my TV when I bought my 28" monitor two years ago. There are shows I like, but I can see them through Amazon Prime if I really want to.

One of my teachers in high school used to say that television is the rape of the mind. We do not even have cable or satellite TV at the house the only thing we use the television for is to watch movies on Bluray or DVD or from the internet and my daughter plays some video games on it.

A man that works for me does not even own a TV at all.

Of course the internet based news is just as silly.I do not see it as a bad sign merely a sign that people who think (or start to) use a different source of information other than the main stream outlets.

Hey! Now we call this "Click bait"

Sorry for the necro but I was thinking about how this became obvious to me a few years ago and now we are saturated with it. :k_confused:
