What We Feed You is How We Play You

“D’ya see that great movie the other night. Wasn’t it awesome?”

“So emotional!”

“My favourite soap is so real to life, isn’t it?”

“Love the blood and guts. Wanna go and blow those rag heads to Hell”

“Aw, coulda cried my eyes out. So sad she lost her man”

“We’ll show ‘em exceptional!”

“I so want to be that guy/girl.”

“Make Believe sure, but I’d love to just get lost in that fantasy world right now!”

It has been the dream of every despot, control freak and tyrannical power entity to be able to control, mind meld and subject their every citizen to the will of the ruling elite. Bloody oppression on a local scale was the recipe of choice in ages gone by. Religious edict has always been the ‘causus controlata’ down the ages, irrespective of original intention by instigators of whatever belief system. Today these control freaks have been blessed with an overarching and wet dreamed answer to their prayers in the the form of successful penetration through technological advancement. Far from setting us free it has been purloined and used as the main successful tool for our own self selected imprisonment and/or demise.

For those never having experienced life without the pernicious, invasive creep of things technological, these statements may seem irrational fear mongering nonsense and fuddy duddy rubbish. Oh, ye ignorant masses!

With the innovation of moving images at the end of the 19th century, advancing rapidly towards today’s steroid punched ‘entertainment industry’, a vast all encompassing art form has been corralled into the mind controlling, fear inducing desires of the Empire.

No, not the cinema chain, the ruling elite!

Hollywood right from its outset was created and made then and today in its horrific mode, to capture, steer and inculcate hearts and minds. Our emotions, especially unrefined, raw emotions, untrained to be under intelligent control, become rich fields for exploitation and messing with.

Nah! Harmless fun, distraction and entertainment, you say.

Fun it can be, harmless definitively and absolutely not, distraction certainly and entertainment – well that depends on who is really being entertained.

Some may feel I am harsh in my appraisal. Others will consider me a party pooper on their ‘entertainment choices’. So be it – however until we use our mind, our critical thinking as to what ends and for why this whole industry is so full of glitz, glamour, money, sex and manipulation – well I feel even in those few words many might spark a chink of ‘aha light’. But let us assume that is not the case. Let us just follow the money. By the way the best way to track down dirt, deceit and malevolent intent is by doing precisely that – follow the money!

The entertainment industry – be it music, film, art, television, newspapers (MSM is truly that nowadays) online distractions – has several goals. A main one, for all creaming the most profit, is to serve agendas of masters/owners/Deep State that utilise their inherent expertise for propaganda, mind control and desensitisation of the masses . While so many believe, blissfully ignorant or uncaring of endgames, the very powers instigating these modalities are occupied in, they drink in the lie that truth tellers are mere tinfoil and conspiracy. This creates distraction, division and opposite camps infighting. An abject, intended outcome from the start. However to focus on what we are universally being served is the object of this article.

I need to clarify my interest – I come from a lifetime spent in the ‘industry of illusion’. You could say I served the propaganda masters fully and for selfish intent. Well you would be right.

I saw the advertising and film industry as a marvellous channel for my creativity and rose to be a significant master of the arts. What I failed to take on board and recognise was the full feature, the main attraction behind the main attraction, if you will. Experience and years have helped open my eyes and see the real hidden pernicious creature behind the curtain. The Wizard was truly non existent – read my book Dreams and Realities to navigate that underbelly, a con with feet of clay, supported only by the belief in the Yellow Brick Road to dreams offered temptingly but never allowed to realise in the true potential those denying it allow themselves. You are never allowed to join the club unless you live by their rules.

There are so many examples to cite along the rocky road to propagandised perfection, however I will merely take a couple I came across today that inspired me to write this.

Because we are being hit tsunami-like with the well proven and successful operation called entertainment , we have become so distracted, so divided among each other and so unclear and incapable in recognising truth from lies. Where to start becomes a minefield. Most take the position in comfortable ignorance, easy compliance and self satisfied stupidification. So easy to avoid uncomfortable and disrupting truths. Best slag off those awake to such things while remaining dead asleep.

I turned to watch a trailer for the film Arrival – a film I admit I very much wish to watch, as the underlying story is interesting. This of course is what makes any of us watch, gain interest. Nothing wrong with that, absolutely. Where the entrance of discrimination against intent (with the creators’ money) and objectives are concerned – it is vital to hold clear thinking, intelligence and reasoning on why such things, outside of pure entertainment is concerned, are set before us.

The film deals with aliens first contact, comprehending and communicating between two parties. It also deals with misinterpretation, the usual blast’ em to Hell arrogance of the military mind against a sage and considered empathic approach. So many films of ‘aliens, otherworld, zombie’ subject based movies ‘entertain’ through the fear factor. the unknown. Whereas masters such as Hitchcock used the fear element as a dramatic tool and brilliantly correctly, fear utilised today is far more bent on drilling that fear deep into our core system,keeping it alerted awaiting a trigger through use of key word triggers (NLP) in daily life.

Easily identifiable ones come to mind triggering gut reaction or feeding a false sense of comfort on a daily basis: some are conspiracy theory, tin foil, collateral damage, boots on the ground, shock and awe, extraordinary rendition, Islamist, terrorists and on and on. On the political stage we get a real load of terms to control and persuade. Death with dignity (for suicide), austerity measures, quantitive easing, vertically challenged for short. Recently deplorables is a current derogatory term for those thinking differently and of course post-truth – as if there is something after truth!

Euphemisms are a propagandistic tool of misdirection. They ill serve a free people. But advocates won’t stop manipulating us until we insist that they “call a spade a spade” – Wesley J. Smith

The process of dumbing down through the rise of ‘dumb’ films is certainly one way of condoning and retaining ignorance levels and supporting lack of intellect to be a positive quality and hip to be lauded. Making heroes out of the Idiocracy is not only a cheap gag but also satiates those who exist on that level in their blissful state of ignorance.

Another film I ‘trailered’ was IT in which the excellent Pierce Brosnan seems to have put his name against, in order to settle some outstanding tax liabilities perhaps. The story line can be summed up in showing the audience that anyone, especially the CIA, though not portraying this film’s antagonist, can get into your life completely in our technological age of uber infestation. Whether the film has merits is for me irrelevant as the cash cow was always to implant even greater fear in Joanna Public. Mission – constantly ramp up the fear we are never safe from terror. That the terror is incoming and from the inside is an unspoken truth never ending investigation. They who set up, order and perpetrate these things have zero interest in any of us maintaining our sentient, individual beings with pertinent choice. Ah, choice that’s another great euphemism for freedom, democracy and the ‘Mercan way, itself a euphemism for the right to invade over 70 countries world wide in its relatively short existence.

Black Hawk Down, The White Helmets, Designated Survivor, World War Z, American Sniper, Argo and a host of others hidden in many other subject areas, are doing an excellent job conditioning the feeble minds of compliant sheep.

In the vein of mind control and softening up a population for current and future lock down, dehumanisation and denial of empathic life the movie industry, as sponsored and run by Hollywood and the Mainstream media, has been outrightly successful in pretty much all areas of its objectives. Yet alongside the proliferation of their fake news, these organs are awakening even the most somnolent with their more and more implausible BS. It is unsurprising the worm is turning. The battle now is for our minds, as the visionary Sir George Trevelyan once so rightly stated. The real battlefield and war zones are in our heads, in the way we perceive, think and make choices.

Since getting the best from these activities requires a serious dose of self education, it is incumbent on each of us to develop critical thinking, our capacity to filter truth from lies and a desire for far deeper research than is offered by way of the institutionalised news, entertainment and information outlets. By refusing to take up these arms we consign ourselves to the fate and mercy of tyrannical rule, dressed, cross dressed and displayed by way of celebrity icon, sexualised music totems and BS spread as our daily ration. The deep oozing, putrid and fast decomposing cesspit of gargantuan lies offer illimitable distraction and fascination to the pliant. Until we are able to disengage from the overt control pushed through entertainment and newspeak we will all fast forward down into the oceans of swill and sure death.

It is absolutely fine and proper we entertain ourselves but let us do so on a level so far removed from the base plate offered as the choice of tyrants, psychopaths and abject loonies. We feed the beast with our coin. We buy into their scripts and digest their dirt. Withdrawing our support may mean short term loss, yet supporting alternative funding for films of depth and insight is one step in the right direction. Crowdfunding such efforts, promoting the few films the music that matters and the art that is revolutionary is so far into our grasp as to leave no room for excuses.

Can you imagine a world created through the highest good, the profoundest intention and with the benefit of present technology? Then if you can you will know what a golden gift we have all denied ourselves and been denied. We may not be able to heal the past and our lost way, yet collectively through whatever means we each have at our disposal we can assure our future and our children’ future will not have to carry a trace of the present contamination and toxicity.

Now that is a show I will pay the top dollar for!

Change – A Colour Revolution Too Far

The quiet life, getting on with things the way we know best through the means we have become accustomed to is what so many crave and cling to. Within these safe boundaries we are the ruler of our estate, we can predict outcomes, determine futures and stay safe in the knowledge that we are being perfectly normal, predictable and self assured.

Smash these cosy parameters, crash through self determined security protocols and allow uncertainty, loss of control and an almost unmitigated future to become unknown, unpredictable and uncertain, then the true fear of things raises its hydra head.

Comfort Zone Annihilated!

That is one scenario. Another is:

Where we have listened to authority, relied on that authority to bolster our safety, repel any and all invaders of our safe space in exchange for having ceded our freedom of movement, speech, expression and identity. When this illusory landscape reveals itself for the transparent void it always was we fear for the worst, let alone visibly see our structures fall around us.

Another scenario is:

Where people have been pushed so hard, ignored, trampled upon, disrespected, kept outside any substantial loop, used and abused. This point is the point where the last straw breaks the proverbial camel’s back, the realisation that Pollyanna will never bring the family together and that the Yellow Brick Road was merely painted cobbles in foul ochre!

The True Revolutionaries have done their homework, seen the so called pretty landscape cover, like some vapid amateur dramatics makeover, crumble to reveal what they knew was waiting in the wings all along. Too few to realise it becomes the flop of flops.

As fear grabs the weakest parts of the population and tears them hither and thither, the status quo, those behind the proverbial curtain rub hands in glee as they were always onto a Win-Win scenario with the two fools running for the Top Job.

What has happened in the USA is merely symptomatic of what is cracking open around the world – the gradual dawning on stupor filled minds that they have been bamboozled.
It is encouraging to see the awakening yet imperative we do not fall into candyfloss conditioning that all is for the best in the best possible of worlds. Reassuring ourselves the world is righting itself at this point is a huge tripping point.

Just because we see an awakening it means little until we see action directed by an equivalently mastered mindset. To know you have been held prisoner does not release you from bondage. The cutting of the chains, walking resolutely into the light and serving others begins to pave that path. Eternal vigilance is a prerequisite!

Those that fabricated and implanted the chains are still very much holding the keys and guarding the jail. The Trumps of this world are merely tinsel dressing, paraded as promise. That the Clinton Cabal failed so miserably was directed, so that the division would become a wholly toxic soup where Civil War 2.0 was assured.

Change as it stands at present is wholly in the remit of the elite order. They direct its movement and all shades of thinking within their directed focus, are thrown into the social media arena and bandied around like some traduced Plato, Kant or Nietzsche.

The noise will arise all around. Everyone will become the guessing genii of predictive events and while the hubbub careers onward the controllers will merely direct their messages via their compliant media to tweak a verbal here and an angry reaction there.

Look to the Colour Revolution of all Colour Revolutions. Soros with his bottomless pit of funding has already started. The Disgustables are already parading their violence. The hiatus in the Middle East stutters through its paces. You would think the dreaded Putin and the Russian Threat were some phantasmagoria of past times. Wise leaders await the processing of the unwashed, to see how deep the grime has embedded itself.

Even in these spaces we are being played like fiddles swiftly tuned. The need for calm heads, non reactive spleen filled minds is essential. Your every weakness will be played out. The fear being thrust upon the unthinkable Trump Trauma is one such action and will be squeezed for every drop of juice it contains. Bitter it will always be, so stay off the brew.

The imperative for people to take control of their faculties has NEVER been so essential. Yet this is in turn the very weakness besetting all who never gave a damn for critical thought. For all those zombie spirituals who thought thinking positively would cut it.

It will soon be proven how out of touch they have been. Those who can live demonstrably their sincere truth owning, their utter comprehension in taking full personal responsibility and of not buying into the easy path of convenient empathetic response, will be seen to be the front runners.

So many have never conscripted to this class and will thus find themselves thrashing out wildly, ill comprehending the roll out of cause and effect and thus be demanding even more that someone else help them from the morass of horror they witness.

This will be proof, if proof is needed, that no lessons have been learned, no changes have taken serious root and that the Powers That Be have merely jack booted forward on their Road to Global Perdition.

If this article depresses you, then you have learned little. The very call to action is found in each and every sinew of experience. If it hurts, if there is suffering then more so the imperative for real change. For it is in that space that change truly seeds evolution. It is through experience we give ourselves the opportunity for lasting change.

Stronger, Brighter and Fearless Together We Become!

One thing is as certain as night follows day. The mainstream media is not, in any conceivable way, delivering news nor useful information.
Its delivery is a constant, persistent and pernicious attack on millions of decent, sane and disillusioned people in this country through a depth of propaganda that is rabid and revolting. Its purpose is to defeat, disillusion and disaffect into submission and powerlessness through the constant, relentless negative repetition of all that is bad, cruel, shocking, scandalous perpetrated around us and seemingly ever present.

What is emerging through the awakening of a truly socialist caring movement has every day, in every way been attacked, bludgeoned and blamed for all the woes we suffer today and will, by implication have to be suffering tomorrow.

That this specious, blindingly repugnant tale is woven into people’s minds and hearts is the very stuff and practice of the worst in promoting propaganda, lies as truth as George Orwell would have been all too familiar with and has warned about.

In the age of mass immediate communication and connection, it is far easier to sow seeds of deceit, to lay lies out as some pernicious reason for failures and to entrap those of us who are less informed, ill prepared to defend ourselves against such aggressive behaviour.

That the Mainstream Media press is owned and run by, literally, a handful of individuals, so far removed from a reality where the lives of millions struggle along an inured journey of austerity, deprivation and helplessness is even more proof, if proof was needed, as to the sort of selfish ends and power wielded against good folk.

It is all very well suggesting we rise up against these monsters, however the truth is that fear has been ingrained so deeply into the minds of so many, helplessness and powerlessness is the common response and thinking.

We rail against the bully in the schoolyard or office, yet those sitting atop their ivory towers of control are the biggest bullies of the lot. They and their authoritarian followers are the dark knights of an empire wishing to control, subvert and destroy what many of us dream about regaining – freedom of the self, freedom of community, support and nurture of family and extended family and an equality in living enjoyed by all.

The thrashing by both newspapers, the BBC and other TV outlets is a disgrace and for many of us seems insurmountable in its overarching bias and weight. That the off button is a viable choice, is a choice as far from these conditioned minds as to illustrate how deeply we have been ‘controlled’ through this medium. Getting lost and distracted by fluff, ‘entertainment’ and irrelevance so often presents itself as a harmless distraction and way of inoculating us from the pain avoiding truth and meaning.

This article was brought on as I read once again the vicious propaganda spread through the column inches of the press both on and offline, not to speak of the horrors of TerrorVision. Having been a product of these industries in my early days, I have experienced this truth in a very head on way.

We search for solutions. We long for some to come along and help solve these iniquities. This explains on one level the popularity of the likes of Jeremy Corby, John McDonald and their like, in the UK. In them we see and hear constancy, truth and the exemplary and persistent search for truth and justice to once again become the norm.

Those presently holding the reins see this movement as an anathema to their greed, arrogance and imperial rule. A direct threat to their divisive enrichment at the expense of all others. The segregation of “Them and Us”. The direct threat to their illegitimate imposition of ‘Austerity‘, that pernicious cover up to their squandering, ill gotten amassing of wealth for their few, at the expense and suffering of the many.

It is an opera that is as old as the hills. As pernicious as the power behind their actions are in maintaining the slavery of one being over another, it is neither destined to last nor is it inevitable. It is, however, iniquitous, immoral and repugnant.

To counter such actions a moderate and intelligent discourse is encouraged, yet once a line has been crossed and the insane in charge of the nut house are exposed, a straitjacket brought to bear where tolerance is moderated through decisive actions becomes the imperative to clear the house from maniacal rule.

Words are easily bandied across the divide, name calling and derision by the powerful become the preferred methodology destroying truth when spoken, yet all the time nothing is as powerful as the resistant ramparts of millions declaring ‘No!’ and ‘Not in our name’. It is the very strength in numbers that maintains millions of traduced people to regain will and define change in its rightful measure.

Pulling back from and refusing cooperation with the PTB ( Powers That Be) is an excellent start.
This may include sacrifice. Sometimes the sort of sacrifice felt to be inconvenient, uncomfortable and certainly way out of individual comfort zones, is the very medicine needed to be taken. That such measures come late in the day may also be contributing factors to concomitant pain. It is at such times that deciding short term pain is a sacrifice worthy of long term gain. You might feel this sounds like the argument for austerity offered by the PTB, but this pain is nothing like it as it is our own decision to decide how strongly we take this action. The result will always be positive, unlike the imposed so called austerity thrust upon us for reasons anything but for our good.

However unless we can individually and collectively pledge such sacrifice we will continue to circle around the same old fear based reactions that destine us to arrive at the same pitiful point of suffering we desire release from.

Identify areas in our own lives where we, literally ‘buy into’ their story, their reason for living (so often an oxymoron) and that is where we can focus our own efforts to change from that dependency. Have others support us in this and for we support others makes this move far more doable. Strength in numbers becomes not only a physical strength but a mental and spiritual strength.

This is hugely important – we cannot do anything meaningful on our own – we can only do these major steps together.

This is why the message of the left is reactionary, yet utterly human based, revolutionary against all that has been suffered and put upon us allegedly, for our own good!

When we begin to see, feel and experience how our collective efforts towards change does truly have a real impact on our lives – we go for more, for greater results and a truly cohesive society honouring its own, respecting all and celebrating differences in diversity and unity.

Tim Smit, the inspiration behind the Lost Garden of Heligan and the founder of the Eden Project, the single biggest Millennium project success grown from relative peanuts, once explained, when interviewed on BBC Radio 4’s In Business that the single most important and essential company rule imposed and exercised absolutely,with a vengeance, was as follows:

“Anyone speaking negatively, acting in a negative way or promoting negativity is fired instantly.”

I have always remembered this and in my own life have seen how powerful, detrimental and pernicious negativity can act out. It is, in simple terms, the most corrosive juice oiling our lives. It promotes disease, death and final extinction of anything, be it ideas, growth, potential or well being.

Whereas a proactive, progressive, action creating positive approach gets things done, nurtures the right soil to seed ideas and futures and creates solid, empowering and exciting prospects for each and all. One of its sibling, enthusiasm develops nascent hope, nurturing creativity and most importantly self belief.

This world is far too full of negativity. Fed to obesity with negation, nihilism and futility for future outcomes and better times. Yes this will come to pass – however only if we continue to feed it, like some beast desiring its own extinction.

How can we change course?

Look into our own thoughts, patterns and learned behaviour. Where we see darkness, hopelessness and resignation into the pit of despondency and despair – look up remind ourselves that behind the clouds is the blue sky, sun and warmth of nurture, as it has always been.

Find that chink in our own lives and ways of being, then start to uncover what it presently covers. We all have a chink, no matter how seemingly insignificant or invisible. It is just waiting for us to prise it open, let light and truth in and allow its growth.

Too much, too great a task? Then search for others to help. Discard reserve or sense of any feelings of inadequacy to impose on others. Our friends and connections are always there able to identify that something in us we may overlook ourself. Once felt and found, bring faith to shine and polish it. Allow its obvious limitations to fall away.

I am not talking anything religious here by encouraging faith, even though it may very well inspire some folk. This faith is the faith in self, the ability to break free from those mental chains of ‘I can’t’, I’m not able…’ ‘I do not deserve…” etc. At the base of all resignation and handing over of power to another is the lack of self belief, self worth and denial of the true power residing within.

The army of the millions of many, empowered to vision, beginning to build, always starts within. It always must develop from that place and flood outwards with an impetus and urgency declaring potential and possibility. This is the force that will always dislodge the seemingly immovable and impenetrable around us, no matter how insurmountable.

Stop listening to the persuasion that you cannot. Stop reading the stuff finding fault and error in the flames and sparks of creative growth and direction. Recognize it is you who is the single element of worth, of stature and significance that the rest of us have been waiting so long to witness awaken and join forces with to celebrate starting over!

The nights may feel cold but the morning sun at whatever time has always warmed us to face a bright new day and future ahead. This sun, this enlightened guidance is so far more powerful than anything standing in our way.

Remember that as you remind yourself we were all born from that energy and will when journey’s done become one again within its force, the nurture and brilliance to inspire others coming after to reach for the same and greater heights.
