1. How The Irish, British & World Have Had The Wool Pulled Over Their Eyes By The Media In The Biggest Social Experiment Ever Undertaken 1/24

2. I have to admit to being fascinated seeing how easily people have been taken in since March of this year by the propaganda in our media. My own saving grace was that I haven’t really watched TV or bought the newspaper in years.

3. If I had tuned into our National Broadcaster RTE and believed everything I watched, I expect I would be in the exact same position as 99% of the population. Swallowing everything and questioning nothing.

4. Our newspapers, the IT & Independent, have just promoted non stop fear. Good journalism has died a death and now what appears in the papers are merely puff pieces and propaganda whilst successfully psychologically manipulating the 99%

5. In an upcoming thread this week I’ve actually analysed the headlines and words that the IT has used for the last 9 months when discussing the pandemic. You will be blown away by some of the data.

6. I know that sort of research sounds geekish but it’s fascinating when you see what’s happened over the last 9 months. I’ll be releasing that in the next few days so keep an eye out.

7. The upshot of not watching RTE and reading the papers means that I can think critically & have less chance of being brainwashed. Unfortunately, that cannot be said for the other 99%. People have sacrificed so much that they don’t want to believe they could be wrong

8. No amount of evidence can seem to change that. In March I tuned in to Leo Varadkar's speech announcing the 1st lockdow. I was also constantly in and out of Worldometer looking at the death rates when I suddenly woke up and realised how ghoulish that was.

9. I suppose that was the beginning of my awakening. I have researched stuff online non stop since May & watched 100s of video. Just recently I’ve started to read a huge amount of books.

10. One of the best books I’ve read is from Neil Sanders “Your Thoughts Are Not Your Own Volume Two: Marketing, Movies and Music”. He explains the psychological manipulation quite brilliantly that has been happening the world over.

11. I take no credit for this but thought it was excellent and have copied and pasted the most important parts in this thread . Do yourself a favour and get his first book as well, it’s only a few quid. Begins now

12. To protect the ideal of the larger whole, to which we psychologically attach ourselves, we become wilfully ignorant of anything we happen to learn that does not come from prescribed channels of information.

13. This is why subjects that are deemed ‘conspiratorial’ are often dismissed or ridiculed, with no attention being given to the evidence.

14. The problem is that if we question one aspect of our perceived reality, which turns out to be different to our expectations, this suggests that other things we have taken as given facts may also be untrue.

15. Not only do we not want to feel duped as an individual, an easy rube that can be manipulated against our will, but we also do not want to believe that the beast, to whose belly we cling so tightly for protection, may not have our best interests at heart.

16. Psychologist Charles T. Tart, formerly of the University of California and more recently based at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, calls this phenomenon ‘Consensus Trance’.

17. Tart believes that the collective society literally convinces itself that certain facts are self-evident;In this way we are willingly hypnotized into a particular way of thinking. Tart went on to explain his premise with respect to the modern media..

18. ..clarifying the perceived opinion of the general public: If it’s not in the media or academia, it does not happen and does not exist. If it did not happen and does not exist, but is in the media (including higher education), then we accept it and believe it!”

19. To protect our concept of reality, in which we have so much of our psyche invested, we turn to the media outlets as the established and accepted sources of truth, to tell us exactly how the world really is.

20. For the most part this works very well as the various media outlets, in their differing ways, serve only to reinforce the established status quo.

21. It is easier to blindly accept that the news for example, is factual, accurate and has no agenda dictating the topics presented, rather than admit we have been tricked and begin to unravel the web of lies.

22. Sadly, we can therefore see that our media is not always reliable. Newspapers and televised news have a duty to draw in an audience and so may be inclined to lean toward more entertaining and sensational aspects of a story in order to increase sales.

23. More disturbing though, is the fact that news outlets may not be the impartial organisations that they present themselves as. They have allegiances to far larger corporate entities that may affect our reception of ‘facts’ in ways that we would not normally consider.

24. I’ve noticed that once you are awake as to what is going on, your sense of awareness and perception go through the roof. Hopefully the rest of the world will begin to wake up and see the charade for what it is pretty soon. END
