http://thedoctorwithin.com/index_fr.php?pa..._perception.php THE DOORS OF PERCEPTION: WHY AMERICANS WILL BELIEVE ALMOST ANYTHING. This is why you can't help them. To start with they won't accept that what they're told to think isn't real. Do you remember the patriotic bullshit before the invasion of Iraq, anyone who tried to point out that they were being manipulated, if the managed to get their voice heard on the mass media, was called a traitor and the enemy of freedom, when in fact they were the only ones who seemed to have any free will in the propaganda soaked media. In America conventional wisdom that has mass acceptance is usually contrived. The final goal of media is to create a following of docile, unquestioning consumers. To that end, three primary tools have historically been employed: DECEIT Deliberate misrepresentation of fact has always been the privilege of the directors of mass media. dissimulation Whether it's the BushLeague in Iraq or Hitler in Germany, aggressors do not present themselves as marauding invaders initiating hostilities, but instead as defenders against external threats. distraction Bread and circuses worked for Caesar in old Rome. The people need to be kept quiet while the small group in power carries out its agenda, which always involves fortifying its own position. With these noisy, banal distractions the forces promoting the general decline in intelligence and awareness jubilantly engulf us on all sides. Media science holds the advantage: as people get dumber and dumber year by year it gets easier and easier to keep them dumb. The only challenge is that their threshold keeps getting lower. So in order to keep their attention, messages have to become more obvious and blatant, taking nothing for granted. Dumbing down the population. And it's becoming so dumb, yet they think they're so clever. |
