Brainwashing
"Avoiding
brainwashing techniques often involves avoiding the brainwashers themselves,
but this is next to impossible. Taking advertising as an example, you can't
avoid them all and attempting to do so can be rather expensive if you still
want to watch television and movies. Your best bet is to cut out what you can
and, when you can't, seek balance. Finding balance is often easiest by simply
providing yourself with the information you need." Adam Dachis https://lifehacker.com/5886571/brainwashing-techniques-you-encounter-every-day-and-how-to-avoid-them
In today's world we are all subjected to constant mind
control, perception management and brainwashing techniques. Potential leaders have
always employed a myriad of means to control the tribe, family, clan and
nation. Humans have always had hierarchical leadership whether it was informal
or formal, recognized or implied. But in our modern world we are targets of
constant manipulation, prompting, coercion, intimidation and fear designed to
make us acquiesce comply and conform. Advanced technology and psychological
manipulation are used by the ruling class and the institutions they create own
and control like organized religion, commerce, government and "education"
to brainwash us into going along with
their agendas.
This is not necessarily a bad thing, there have been
beneficent righteous leaders who adhered to and practiced the notion of Summum Bonum the greatest good for the
greatest number which George G.M. James proved in his book Stolen Legacy was a
concept originated by Africans in the Nile Valley
Western elites have fashioned a social order whereby they
exploit, ravage and manipulate the masses for their personal benefit, wealth
and wellbeing. Their form of governance from ancient tribal times to the
present nation state is "might makes right", they utilize fear,
intimidation and violence to maintain both a domestic and imperialist "order" designed to benefit
themselves.
"Although business
interests eventually replaced the church as the
dominant force behind imperial expansion, the techniques of population
analysis and coercion -pacing and leading the target audience remained the
same. The British East India Company for example was formed in 1600 and given a
'perpetual charter' from the British monarchy for trade in the East Indies and
later, China. In a series of well funded wars spanning centuries, the company
used a private army to effectively annex India
for the British Monarchy and Queen Victoria
eventually became empress of India
Modern technology allows the ruling class to beam
messages directly into our psyches to manipulate our perceptions of reality and
on a more insidious level program us for what I call "the three B's":
what to believe, what to buy and how to behave.
The ruling class likes to tell us we live in a
"democracy" that there is upward mobility, opportunity and freedom,
and to a limited degree for a limited number of people there is; as long as you
adhere to their criteria. It is not about ethics or morality because this
system is unethical and immoral, it is about not rocking their perch and
threatening their status quo!
For example I was reading a story about Colin Kaepernick
in the New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/07/sports/colin-kaepernick-nfl-protests.html?mcubz=3,
in which the writer used adjectives such as "traitor", "divisive",
"second string" "has been" to cite a few to describe
Kaepernick. While the article mentions the money he has contributed to non
profit grass roots organizations and Kaepernick's quest as a bi-racial man to
discover his African roots, the article in my view did not do him full justice
because he is not the usual unconscious shufflin', shuckin' professional
athlete divorced from his people, who shuns community interaction and the crucial
issues impacting us.
Kaepernick has been white-balled by the NFL just like Muhammad
Ali and Paul Robeson were shunned and persecuted by the ruling class and their
minions. Kaepernick was kicked to the curb just like Craig Hodges of the NBA
was. But I believe that like all our great advocates and heroes Kaepernick will
be vindicated for his stance, not by the ruling class and their acolytes but by
the people.
Don't allow the words and cunning of others to determine
how and what you think. Think for yourself, make up your own mind, act and live
your life based upon your own dictates not the whims or manipulation of others.
