Protests against the COVID imprisonment are spreading across America.
---Bright lights starting to dispel the darkness.
These protests are fracturing the illusion that we're in the grip of a virus that dictates economic suicide.
Here, from the US Library of Congress, is a sentence about the Great Depression
of the 1930s:
"In a country with abundant resources, the largest force of skilled
labor, and the most productive industry in the world, many found it hard
to understand why the depression had occurred and why it could not be
resolved."
Exactly. The engineered 1929 crash of the stock market did not change
the quantity or quality of national resources, labor, or industry one
iota.
What had changed was the successful projection of a mass illusion:
"THINGS ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT NOW. TODAY IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
FROM YESTERDAY."
In 1929, the official gibberish focused on unchecked speculation in the
stock market. Today, the official gibberish focuses on an unproven
virus.
Official fatuous pronouncements about 1929 would have you believe that
every American was, unfortunately, leveraged up to his neck in crashing
stocks. Pronouncements about 2020 would have you believe every American
has suddenly become a transmitter of a deadly
virus. Both big lies.
When it comes to what is laughingly called medical science, the basic
energy, drive, ambition, outlook, and inner vision of the individual is
discounted. His emotional force is discounted. The resilience of his
immune system is discounted. The power of his
spiritual beliefs is discounted. His ability to overcome obstacles is
discounted. And of course, his natural right to make decisions about
his own health is discounted.
Instead, he is viewed as a mechanical unit reacting to germs, with a
high potential for failure. This is pure insanity. This is where all
the purported sophistication of basic medical science winds up: in a
dead end. LIFE itself was eliminated from the equations
and formulas. Whose fault is that? Not yours. Not mine.
It turns out that, for many people, their belief in the power of the
virus, and their belief in the officials who are spouting gobbledygook
about it, outweigh their belief in whatever spiritual ultimates they
profess.
Their own deepest beliefs are not strong enough.
Their religion is television.
Which is where the mass illusion is projected.
Epidemics are staged on television.
Images begin to flow:
An emergency medical vehicle on a street. EMT personnel, in hazmat
suits, load a man strapped down to a stretcher, into the van. On
another street, a man collapses on the sidewalk. We see yet another
quarantined man sitting inside a huge plastic bubble on
a third street. Cut to an airport lobby. Soldiers are patrolling the
space among the crowds. Cut to a lab. Close-up of vials of liquid.
Camera pulls back. Techs in light green scrubs are placing the vials
into slots of a table-top machine. Auditorium---a
man on a platform, wearing a doctor's white coat, is pointing a wand at
a large screen, on which a chart is displayed, for the audience. Back
to the street. People are wearing face masks.
These images wash over the television viewer. Meanwhile, the anchor is
imparting his prepared meaning: "The government today issued a ban on
all travel into and out of the city...hundreds of plane flights have
been cancelled. Scientists are rushing to develop
a vaccine..."
The television audience has an IMPRESSION of knowing something. They're
in the flow, the flow of the news...they're in the images...
Or: Example: we see angry crowds on the street of a foreign city. Many
shots of young people on their cell phones sitting in outdoor cafés.
Then the marble lobby of a government building where men in suits are
walking, standing in groups talking to each other.
Then at night, rockets exploding in the sky. Then armored vehicles
moving through a gate into the city. Then clouds of smoke on another
street and people running, chased by police.
A flow of consecutive images. The sequence, obviously, has been
assembled by a news editor, but the viewing audience isn't aware of
that. They're watching the "interconnected" images and listening to a
news anchor tell a story that colors (infects) every image:
"This is revolution for democracy, created by the technology of cell
phones..."
Viewers thus believe something. Television has imparted a sensation to them.
In his 1976 film masterpiece, Network, Paddy Chayefsky's unhinged newsman, Howard Beale, broadcasts this message to his audience on national television---
"So, you listen to me. Listen to me! Television is not the truth.
Television's a god-damned amusement park. Television is a circus, a
carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers,
singers, jugglers, sideshow freaks, lion tamers, and football
players. We're in the boredom-killing business... We deal in illusions,
man. None of it is true! But you people sit there day after day, night
after night, all ages, colors, creeds. We're all you know. You're
beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning
here. You're beginning to think that the tube is reality and that your
own lives are unreal. You do whatever the tube tells you. You dress like
the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube.
You even think like the tube. This is mass
madness. You maniacs. In God's name, you people are the real thing. We
are the illusion."
Television, in the main, does not attempt to impart knowledge. It
strives to give the viewer the impression that he knows something. There
is a difference.
Knowledge, once established, is independent of the viewer. Whereas the
impression of knowing is a feeling, a conviction, a belief the viewer
holds, after he has watched moving images on a screen. THIS is what the
addicted viewer prefers. He wants no part
of knowledge.
Therefore: a short circuit occurs in his mind.
When you export this pattern out to a whole society, you are talking
about a dominant method through which fake knowledge is groped and held
close.
"Did you see that fantastic video about the Iraq War? It showed that Saddam actually had bioweapons."
"Really? How did they show that?"
"Well, I don't remember. But watch it. You'll see."
And that's another feature of the modern acquisition of "knowledge": amnesia about details.
The viewer can't recall key features of what he saw. Or if he can, he
can't describe them, because he was inside them, busy building up his
impression of knowing something.
Narrative-visual-television story strips out and discards conceptual analysis.
When a technology (television) turns into a method of perception, reality is turned inside out. People watch TV through TV eyes.
Mind control is no longer something only imposed from the outside. It is a matrix of a self-feeding, self-demanding loop.
Willing Devotees of the Image WANT images, food stamps of the programmed society.
The false pandemic I've been rejecting, in many articles, is delivered
through video flow and narration. Stacked and cut images.
There is no television challenge to the television flow, through the
intrusion of actual knowledge, because that would shut down the parade
of images and nullify the reasons for broadcasting them in the first
place.
The old theater adage, "the show must go on," when adapted for
television, becomes, "the flow must go on." Once its course is set,
there can be no turning back.
But individuals can shred the flow.
And groups of protestors can shred the flow.
And freedom breaks out. |
