Polls prove just one thing; the effectiveness of propaganda.
Approve/disapprove “statistics” only determine how many dumbasses bought the story.
I just have to laugh!
As a recent example; Tariffs and stock market gyrations so-spun as earth shattering news for weeks are finally proven “unpopular” by the very networks that fear mongered and spun the idea in the first place! Smug “news” anchors gloat over the fulfillment of their prophecy “proven by opinion polls”,…opinions they just implanted! You can easily see those views regurgitated by network believers. You can also see them reflected in public behaviors demonstrating the power of words and scurrilous lies.
How many young men sacrificed their lives “to do their patriotic duty” believing 9/11 was legit?
The power of media is not to be underestimated!
“In the beginning were WORDS!” People will “jump off bridges” on account of a few discouraging words.
Doesn’t that disprove the old saying, “Sticks and stones can break my bones, but WORDS will never hurt me?”
Words are seeds; watch them grow into beautiful flowers,…or deadly poisons.
Lies Live On;
The thing is; once these lies are disseminated, people cop a position and refuse to ever admit they were fooled.
Need I list “official” explanations for JFK/RFK/MLK murders, Vietnam, Waco, Kansas City, 9/11, Iraq/Afghanistan/Libya, Covid 19, Ukraine or 10/7 that will not die??? Highly paid network shills perpetuate these historical fictions as “givens.”
How ’bout the enemization of Russia, China, Iran? Neocon “wet dreams?”
After Russia’s “unprovoked” invasion of Ukraine, yellow and white flags showed massive support for a phony proxy war.
Israel was brutally “attacked” on 10/7 and proceeded to genocide Gaza. Opposition to zionist Israel’s rampage morphed into “antisemitism” and we were shown the limits to “free speech.”
Or the phony food and drug ads, and bogus medical findings? First you are made to wonder if you have a particular “disease” and are then handed a pill,…all presented by happy actors dancing through fields of glory.
Or CIA/Mossad/MI-6 ops nixxed as “conspiracy theories”, Epstein’s certain “suicide”, covid came from “China”, “tinfoil-hat” chemtrails and “weather balloon” UFOs?
People are still getting flu shots and Pfizer is still promoting covid boosters for kids? WTF, don’t they know the jig is up?
And yet big-lies seem to have a half life. Soon after Bush neocons invaded Iraq (again), approval ratings for the war were at least 70%. The country was still in the grips of a patriotic reaction to false-flag 9/11 after being stunned by “video evidence” of an Arab Terrorist attack on the Twin Towers. A few years went by and approval fell below 50%. Some began to realize that Israel was the sole beneficiary of a “Mideast Cleansing” by a “coalition of the willing.” The endless war went on for another 20 years, spreading through Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and Yemen flooding western Europe with millions of refugees.
The sick-ass networks even “proved” Ofc. Derek Chauvin guilty of murder by running a video of George Floyd’s fentanyl suicide in a loop! That fueled the BLM race thumpers and gave a green light for looting and burning.
A divisive distraction that artificially created racism and white-cop hate where none existed could have only benefited the left over a supposedly white supremacist right and even brought a bogus court conviction against Chauvin.
Color TeeVee became black and white; mainly black!
Demographics were baked-into a chocolate upside-down cake.
Years later, those who saw the infamous video are still 100% convinced of black death by white cop.
Trump should pardon Chauvin who survived a brutal knife attack and remains in the can to this day!
Ditto Jan 6, the infamous “insurrection” that halted all question of election fraud. It sure seemed FBI assets provoked the invasion of the capitol, everyone in the area was marched off to prison Gestapo style, and a phony “1/6 Committee” doubled-down on the setup.
THE Existential Enigma
Maybe the worst sin of the “system” is much celebrated university-designed agriculture.
Decades of “progress” have only yielded nutrient-deficient produce, a chronic disease epidemic and the unsustainable destruction of rivers/lakes/oceans?
Chemical farming, GMO crops and confined animal feedlots provided production shortcuts at great cost to human health and the environment.
They treated mother-soil like dirt and contaminated the planet with chemical fertilizers and our bodies with pesticides/herbicides and made genetically modified monocrops dominant in all opposition to diversified farming and the laws of ecology!
Soil is the living organism our food once depended on,… until chemical methods became little more than toxic dry-land hydroponics; seed/fertilize/irrigate.
The idiocy behind modern agronomics defies common sense, but unfortunately replaced natural diversified farming the way pharmaceutical medicine replaced simple therapies and natural immunity.
Why?
Whether from envy, lack of self esteem, IQ or originality, most folks succumb to peer pressure and follow the crowd…errr fake narratives imposed by media tricksters. Weren’t they warned against other kids as bad influences by their parents? TV news, entertainment programming, radio and Hollywood movies, and now social media is packed with queer peers and bad influencers.
Everybody needs a friend, but the media is really no friend of Jack’s.
Heroic gun violence is the meat and potatoes of prime-time programming, adding to the prevalence of mass shootings as much as chemically-whacked suicidal serotonin-overloaded kids under “mental healthcare.”
Network tradecraft relies on generating fear, shame, envy and a primal sense of being left-out if one does not join an imaginary bandwagon.
At this point it is probably too late to awaken the masses to the sly perpetrators of endless wars, corporate scams and their abject serfdom.
They have been hoodwinked, hosed, boned and bullshitted, yet bristle at any reference of reality….a sad commentary on human gullibility.
