Spin

It happens all the time. Most people think of spin as something wheels on a car do, but this reference is to what the media does with an event to control people's reactions to suit the corporate agenda. Huge ad firms hire the most desirable celebrities to promote their products. Come to think of it just about every event, accident or planned can have a manipulated view to influence others views. Some have coined the phrase, manufactured consent. When you consider the possible ramifications, one could surmise that the entire visible world exists because of the belief it does. What if we all stopped believing?

Media spin in society has grown directly from the field of psychology. Psychology is nothing more than the study of mental functions and behavior. The corporate media are masters at understanding how to package information that sways public opinion. By understanding how most people think and behave, a program was established to "guide" people in their manner of thinking and thus control their behaviour as well. The media spin is but one aspect of the control that is exerted upon us each day from the invisible controlling force. Other societal systems enhance media's ability to manipulate. We all willingly buy into these systems everyday. We are taught them by our parents, who were taught by their parents, as we teach our children. Many of us think if we treat others right, work very hard, follow all the rules, everything will be alright. Some of us are starting to realize that some very interesting games are being played at our expense. Most people just can't realize this. Too many distractions. Not enough time to learn about what really happens here on this little, wet, mud ball that is hurtling through space at dizzying speeds while all the while..............spinning!

I try to keep my focus strictly on societal paradigms. It goes without saying that many individual variables also influence the whole in many different ways. I am quite enamoured though with the societal communication feedback loop, that is, how awareness of global events, reverberate throughout society, and impact and influence, individual thought and behaviour. The very best event to view in this framework is the events of 9-11.

Forget about the cause of 9-11 for a moment and just consider how the event itself continues to keep spawning new and different ways to manifest into societies' collective vision. Look how things have changed in the last 9 or so years. At the end of G.W's presidency, people wanted it all to just go away. We wanted an end to war, terrorism, and economic strife so bad, that we believed the first person to come along and talk about daring to hope for a change. The brand Obama political machine roared with enthusiasm, fueled by the growing dissatisfaction of what was becoming an ever oppressive post 9-11 world. Obama promised to stop all that shit. A great many kind hearted, hard working people believed him. The political pendulum swung back to the left. With the help of course of a compliant media, Obama achieved rock star status, and on the eve of his election, we watched the crowds of hypnotised Obamanites shout, "YES WE CAN!!!" Many people felt good for the first time in a long time. And then.............

The main spin of the corporate media is to build momentum for the left-right false paradigm, always keeping each side empowered to divide society between ever changing talking points that usually have little to no intrinsic value to society as a whole. The end result has been the same for many years, and has really increased post 9-11. This brings us to the underlying agenda of the invisible controlling force. Globalization. Key control of the planet through a worldwide monetary system, worldwide health system, and a worldwide environmental system. They remain convinced that by intentionally crashing all of the current systems, they can easily install all of their global systems. Here is the kicker. They really do believe it is what's best for humanity. Along with a general population reduction program of anywhere from 50-90%. That's 3 to 6 billion people. They figure this is what must be done so that 500 million can live the life of luxury, without completely depleting the planet's resources. They believe that only through these measures can humanity survive into the future. I say our chances are much greater if they lead by example and be the first in line to kill themselves, but I digress.

As it turns out, spin, or that natural force that is rotation is apparent all throughout the galaxy. Planets do it, stars do it, solar system's do it, even electrons do it. So do dogs chasing their tales, so maybe it is just nature at work. So why then can't the corporate media do it for a truly useful purpose? Maybe like empowering people with useful information that could enhance their quality of life? Because, the fact is, to do that would empower the terrorists. Why do you think all of those drastic measures were taken by the government to catch all the bad guys? Because you all are the bad guys! Anyone who opposes their way of doing things is now a terrorist in their minds. The spin doctors of media, the government puppets of Washington D.C., all kiss the same master's ass. Get used to the term, austerity measures.
