Ethos: A Time for Change online | Free | Hulu
Note: This article will alter your perceptions of advertising and television viewing. If the reader chooses to read this article he or she will be responsible for the outcome as he or she is being forewarned of the consequences. If the reader supports television and media manipulation of the human mind I suggest you opt out of reading it. It does not support these industries but supports the consumer and his rights as a citizen in a democratic society. I altered the you’s and me’s in my original for the purposes of aiding the reader in objectively altering his perception of advertising and television viewing if he so chooses by reading this response to the film Ethos. My first impulses while writing it were in response to the film, the film clip of Dr. Chomsky and his comments. I support my theory that dialogical thinking and writing are more advantageous as I have evolved my thinking as well as my writing over the past 13 years by doing it and is what I present to you here. It has required more intelligence gathering on my part to make this evolution possible.
I beg to argue comments by Dr. Chomsky, that this country was founded as a “polyarchy” and was never intended to be a Democracy. The comments likely had some effect on the brains of listeners and there are millions of others who will never challenge his comments and just take for granted that what he is saying is the whole truth. This I have discovered is the core of much of his rhetoric based on his keen knowledge of neurolinguistic programming and because he has put himself out there as an authority, with a Harvard degree in linguistics. He seems to present this hopeless attitude with his comments I find leads one to want to relinquish his or her power over to the few, in frustration if nothing else. If they fully understood linguistics they wouldn’t listen to him most of the time, in fear of having their minds manipulated to suit the reality he seems to oppose regarding corporations. He is once again trying to make people believe a polyarchy is what we opted for in 1776. Not so. Dr. Chomsky’s thinking may actually manipulate us into thinking we have consented to something we haven’t because he claims this polyarchy was constructed in the 18th century, is more clear now it is becoming a plutocracy, because this “specialized class” of thinkers, all thought it best that we think and believe this, basically to save themselves from us and our increasing awareness of these deceits. They are wrong. It may be necessary now that they have created this mental confusion in our minds, the consumers, but constitutionally, we still have a Democracy and the voice of the majority still rules the day no matter how sound it is or isn’t.
What really happened is this group of entrepreneurs, who wanted to prevent another great depression, hired a public relations person to help them get into our minds more to manipulate our spending than to find out what it was we wanted. They created this polyarchy as Chomsky has pointed out, to finance this marketing scheme as an investment in future consumer spending at the turn of the 20th century not the 18th century. Coffeehouses were selling coffee in the UK in the 1600’s. They imposed their vision on our pocketbooks and they ensured their success by polluting us with marketing trickery to ensure the flow of money and ideas in their direction. Our ideas alone may have cost us millions in earnings which have gone into the pockets of these corporations many of us don’t even work for, claiming they are helping us and we die in poverty. This concurs with Rand’s objectivist ideas based on the supposition that all corporate leaders are moral and will act morally when it comes to the concerns of others outside the protection of the corporation. The proof of their lack of interest in the outsider was never more clear than when Lois Gibbs attacked chemical companies for dumping waste products into water that eventually made her children and the rest of her community sick. They were forced to clean up their mess because of the efforts of her community, the story we now know as The Love Canal and is available on video. Online product surveys are another perfect example. It prevents the consumer from producing and marketing his own improved product. Some people are content to let others profit from their ideas or be taken care of, because they are just too mentally ill, too lazy or too poor and have no choice. Mostly they have been rendered infantile by the mass marking of television programs like Leave It To Beaver, Donna Reed Show, Dick Van Dyke Show, etc. What they created in us is a population of hassock tripping, nosy, comedic adults unable to figure things out for ourselves, getting fired and hired and nearly divorced, etc, but they are making money while the consumer is laid up in the hospital with a bill he can’t pay and they will likely take his home and his car. Despite this, some corporations do act with socially moral responsibility.
When the success of this marketing scheme became evident, many corporate leaders were sucked into this radical idea without a thought about the costs that would result. Now there are millions of dependent people they call consumers, who are unable to help themselves or think for themselves. We hardly even know ourselves because our minds have been poisoned with dialogue and behaviors from the characters we processed through our brains from the very television programming corporations have used to manipulate our spending. I once thought Chomsky was trying to heal the problem but now it seems he has been actually perpetuating it.
The government, lead by the ideas put forth by Edward Bernays and Freud, used Kent State and other incidents promoted by media to make people think they had some demonic beast inside them they couldn’t control. This is far from the truth. This demon was created by the external environment. They certainly proved the Government was as capable of creating evil as the general population was clamed to be evil. I suggest this thinking was nothing more than a projection of the true self of the people who were promoting this idea, “God cast Cain or Satan out into the world”. He inflicted his evil upon mankind, and the fatherly leaders in our country who have been touted as weak and incompetent tried to leads us away from this erroneous thinking. “We have nothing to fear but fear itself”. Set aside your fear and step into a better way of thinking.
Did you notice under the highlighted areas in the film, where Chomsky reads from Lippmann’s book, this “specialized class” was “irresponsible for its acts upon information that was not common property, in situations that at large, the public did not conceive, and it (the specialized class) can only be held to account on the accomplished fact.” This means this specialized class of persons created this problem and now they are trying to claim it was An American Experiment. It is like me telling you now to go and get a glass of water. You’ve read it and it will be programmed into your mind. You are accountable for reading the statement. I am only accountable for the results. If you hated water and didn’t want to drink it this would be a real issue because I have caused you to do something you didn’t want to do and you nor I can change it. Once we open a book or turn on the set it is purported we are giving consent for our minds to be used in any manner they desire. This is far from the truth. My own father was mildly aware this was happening but he was not aware in what context it had happened to him.
They violated our Ninth Amendment Rights by their actions and I simply refuse to hand my constitutional rights over to these self-absorbed traitors of our Democracy. It isn’t that we the people were unable to think intelligently about the future of our country, we the consumers through the ill-fated use of the television for information from those we entrusted, are often rendered incapable of it. While this video describes a reality, it also programs us to believe this reality is true and that we are hopeless to do anything about it. I have found evidence they intended to wipe out people in this country and thus the drive for control of the money in this country by the private cartel mentioned in the film. Parts of this knowledge are detected in the film Twelve Monkeys in which Kathleen Reilly, a psychiatrist, is speaking to a group of people supposedly about the Cassandra Complex. What was really happening? It seems no less happened to the Egyptians who were eventually wiped out or assimilated into other cultures. Numerous Start Trek episodes walk us through this process, “resistance is futile”, we are told. Resistance seems to be the course of action needed to have an impact. If the majority opposes my position, it in no way means my ninth amendment rights are null and void or that I have to succumb to the thinking or wishes of the majority for 4 or 8 years. No majority overrides the rights retained by the people, it is a constitutional violation.
This article on neurolinguistic programming and the television, based on my personal experiences, is how these corporations, through the use of media, have used the film making industry and television to take liberties with our brains, minds and bodies, without our permission, based on false assumptions about the human condition. Carefully used dialogue which seems to portray scenes in various films can hypnotize the viewer. Even if hypnotic suggestion is not used, dialogue can be worded and images strategically placed, so as to illicit specific behaviors by the listening viewer. Carefully worded statements they now call memes are used throughout television advertising to program our minds to buy and try a product like the once frequently heard, “good to the last drop”, or “things go better with coca-cola”, which enters the viewer’s subconscious mind while viewing your favorite Sunday evening program. While this ad applied to a coffee product, it can refer to any product sold by television including alcohol, cough medicine, sugar laden juices, soft drinks, natural fruit juices and milk. The viewer is then helpless to alter his thinking until the suggestion is removed, meaning he or she must buy and drink the product to the last drop, whether he likes it or not, or either he projects the idea of buying the product onto someone else who then unknowingly acts it out for him. Most often this person is likely a writer cleaning up the television who keenly connected these two slogans creating that behavior in the minds of those he is supposed to be helping. He may even convince the actor that he is a special person and that one should help him by acting it out for him. If we were such dangerous, rebellious people, how did the coffee industry get to be a billion dollar industry? I drank a good bit of coca-cola in my youth and preferred it to Pepsi which originated in my own State. It did nothing for relieving my depression and I kept on drinking it. It took me 45 years to discover why it did nothing for making things better or making me happier. Nutritionists and Doctors claimed it was the sugar and high fructose corn syrup addicting us to the product. It isn’t, it is the carefully worded advertisements they placed in magazine ads and on television between our favorite television programs creating and perpetuating the habit. Think about an old film or television program from your past and you trigger the ad for coke and you may be off to the store to get one. Sugar in modest amounts is not harmful to the body. In excessive amounts it can contribute to diabetes and osteoporosis. The sugar will eventually be converted into inositol that opens calcium ion channels releasing calcium from stores contributing to bone loss. I have used this product. It lead to osteopenia in my left arm. In excessive amounts sugar will use up ATP also contributing to osteoporosis. It can damage your health.
Why didn’t we rebel against this poisonous thinking we now pay them for, at roughly $100.00 per month? Paying them to poison our minds with ideas that harm our minds, bodies and spirits. Isn’t that irrational? If you are like me and grew up with the thing in the house while still in diapers, one could hardly know the difference because we never had a chance to develop a life before that monster box had us locked up. Hollywood and film makers had the keys to getting us out. They were the ones who stood to profit most from our predicaments. We, their little puppets, had no choice unless we just chose not to succumb to their deceits. I discovered recently, carefully planned films were what prevented me from going to Hollywood.
They claim the chemicals in the coffee will wake you up but so will the amino acid tyrosine and dopamine which have similar molecular structures as caffeine. Coffee also contains theobromine, theophylline, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors. If you smoke cigarettes caffeinated coffee may increase the amount of tar and nicotine that enters your lungs because theophylline relaxes bronchial tubes enabling more of the toxic substances to enter the lungs increasing damage. Caffeine has diuretic properties. It can dehydrate the body causing an increase in the anti-diuretic hormone vasopressin. Vasopressin causes the body to retain fluid to help prevent dehydration but is not a healthy way of keeping the body hydrated. In this state blood pressure can rise along with other physiological complications. They have pushed caffeine to supplant these amino acids which are natural to our bodies and important in the protein folding process. Caffeine causes no aggression opposed to tyrosine which does but only because tyrosine aids in raising one’s mental awareness, making one more alert, normalizes blood pressure, is a powerful adenosine blocker and improves the drive for the accumulation of knowledge and learning, which in turn may cause some degree of aggression but only in that it is necessary for ones survival. It also has anti-depressant effects. Anger, a state one passes through from being depressed to not being depressed is normal, when I am being abused. I must be constructive with my anger otherwise I am no different than those who hurt me. The history of coffee use, at present, dates back to the 1600’s. If corporations were so interested in protecting our health and well being wouldn’t they have informed the public of this evidence? Instead they have promoted its use. Is this a key to why the disease Aids exists?
If this video were truly interested in changing things why didn’t they get down to the brass tacks about mass production of cheap frivolous goods no one really needs or wants, but are used to get our dollars because our minds have been programmed with their memes and these cheap products end up in the landfills and will eventually cost us more. The fast mass production of cheap goods creates more work, more stress, more health issues and more trash but not more jobs. Producing quality goods takes more time, less stress, less trash and more secure jobs. This is a disagreement I had with the assembly line work I did with an electronics circuit board company. They wanted it all at the end of the day at the expense of my health and wellbeing and subsequently I walked off my job in opposition to the overwork and maltreatment. The next day I was fired but in essence I quit my job. They got out of paying unemployment. But more to the point, let’s talk about what happens when these quality goods and services are produced. Their cost is higher. Because there are masses of people who cannot afford these quality products, it is assumed cheaper products must be produced, which breakdown or wear out more frequently and the poor person is still spending, over time, an amount of money equal to a higher quality product. Making a quality product more affordable for lower income people raises the eyebrows of people with more money, who made it from working people with less money. Here is where the spiritual disease envy and resentment begin to raise its ugly head, for which we the consumer and those in a lower economic class end up suffering. Why should the rich man have to pay more? Because they have taken more that’s why. If he doesn’t want to pay more then he should take less.
The video is extremist on some subjects, trying to sell the public on the idea that Government is pushing some kind of national identification and tagging, claiming they are abusing our 5th Amendment rights and is evidence corporations want to control the masses. The people who believe we need these extremes are deluded and are so guilt ridden they live in fear of their own lives. They are trying to set the stage for us to follow through on what they want to happen. They are trying to create fear and desperation in us the consumer, who unwillingly made them rich, because we were tricked by media and brain altering rhetoric now synonymous with neurolinguistic programming and memetics. They use media to keep us separated from our own realities that would turn us away from what it and they are doing to us, because of what it is doing to us and our children.
The time for pyramid building is over, the future of our country lies with the people and what we do and how we behave, not with corporations, but first we must be armed with the truth.
Correction: Did you notice under the highlighted areas in the film, where Chomsky reads from Lippmann’s book, this “specialized class” was “irresponsible for its acts upon information that was not common property, in situations that at large, the public did not conceive, and it (the specialized class) can only be held to account on the accomplished fact.” This means this specialized class of persons created this problem and now they are trying to claim it was An American Experiment.
