*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" / http://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.

If... the machine of government... is of such a nature that
it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another,
then, I say, break the law: Henry David Thoreau,
On the Duty of Civil Disobediance, 1849

They should make all forms of subliminal messaging illegal. The Americans are the worst with it and the worst at it. Couldn't stomach living out there and watching tv. The most blatant one I've seen was an American Express card advert set in London just after the 7/11 bombings.

The woman walking around idly shopping picks up an old pirates hook as a double decker bus drives past.

Afurniture advert for IKEA. They had split the creases in the sofa to make it look like a womans vagina.

P.Diddys Danity Kane dancing around on a high street with an appropriately placed Macdonalds sign in the background.

The cueing of adverts in relevance to one another.

News reporters or politicians with weird names commenting on this and that. The most blatant one I've seen was again an American news reporter commenting on the conflict in Palestine he had an outline around his hair as though he'd just taken off a skull cap. Blatantly messing with people on another level.

Movies made to entice a generation into one thing or another, the film, ''Happy Feet'' is to encourage the up and coming generations to get enviromentally friendly showing sympathy for the penguins whos ice caps will soon melt away. Several cartoons have been mace in the artic based on this. Also certain programs will drop ahint at something or another on a sly tip.

If you have a sound system that can amplify the background to music and you play the radio through it you'll pick up on all sorts. What might just sound like a simple;

WELCOME TO CAPITAL FM!

Played with the background amplified is;

Welcome Welcome Welcome To To ToCapital Capital Capital FM FM FM!

All most people pick up on is the underlined part. Noticed it when they were advertising for some disney advert, laced with an echo in the background.

They try to reach into peoples subconsiouss minds and implant what they want, programming us without our consent. Do think they drop sublims in rap music as well but not in the way that christian guy is on about. I'm happy not watching Tv for the most part, helps that its actually crap as well.

Anyone doing media studies knows the tricks of the trade my brothers friend is versed in spotting sublims and faulse advertising. Shame hes' so annoying, keeps following europeans reading up on cosmology and Egypt and not reading from an African perspective.Moving intowaffle zone now though...
