I saw Ice AGe several times with my kids. All I remember is the baby looked just like one we adopted. Did you pick up on a propoganda angle there? <p></p><i></i>

Re: Ice Age

Keeping people from worrying about global warming is what 'Ice Age' is really about. The keywords don't just go to "ohmygod!" in your brain anymore. Now they go to "cute" "nice animation" "looks like my baby" and other competing emotions and images.<br><br>The chain of association has been hijacked with an alternative path and this is reflected in your bloodstream, too, thereby reinforcing the perceived stimuli of the propaganda.<br><br>You won't think of 'friendlied-up' topics the same way again.<br><br>This is exactly how corporations/spooks in media diffuse emotions in the targeted public by providing their own cheerful amusing images and characters. <br><br>In the US it is very important to not allow things to get 'out of hand' the way they did in the 1960s when outrage against fascism's war and pollution built up until people wouldn't take 'it' anymore.<br><br>Allowing protest and dissent has a function in maintaining stability and control along with the illusion of 'freedom' which is then used as the cover story for more war, "...on the march."<br><br>People feel better and can continue AS IS if they can vent their frustrations. The US military has figured this out and added 'listeners' to their combat units so when a soldier shoots up a family or is shot at or sees his friends killed he can go have a shoulder to let it all out on and go back 'to work.'<br><br>'Ventilation' is now built into American Scientific Fascism and is what keeps most people from seeing through the 'Land of the Free' cover story they are indoctrinated with from birth. The cover story is maintained and reinforced on TV and in movies.<br><br>So VENTILATION is built into our culture as comedy and satire-<br>>Saturday Night Live skits once a week<br>>Letterman/Leno monologues and quips most nights<br>>Doonesbury comic strip every day<br>>Jon Stewart on the Daily Show most days<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Venting helps us cope and thus accomodate the ever-increasing crimes and oppressions against us.<br>THIS is how the frog is kept in the pot as the heat goes up.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><br>The social engineering function of movies isn't always as sophisticated as many assume.<br><br>Only a very few actually even see a movie but <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>many more hear or see the title and the advertising, especially the billboard/paper ad, so they get a dose of subliminal social engineering and neuro-linguistic programming without even seeing the movie.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><br>Cultural and political anxieties and concerns are diffused by providing alternative narratives that take the edge off a topic.<br><br>Keeping kids from worrying about global warming and war helps keep their parents from resonating with their kids concerns. And parents go see the movie with their kids and talk about it. Even if they just watch it, the hand-holding effect does the job.<br><br>So:<br>'Ice Age' <br>"global warming isn't a big deal. been there done that."<br><br>'Chicken Little' <br>"no worries and ignore alarmists about war and the environment."<br><br>'Curious George' <br>"everyone makes mistakes like Iraq and Katrina but it's hard work and George W, who the lefties call a monkey, means well "<br><br>All media is morality theater.

March of the Penguins

Postby BajaSur » Thu Mar 09, 2006 3:28 am

OK Hugh, your thoughts on March of the Penguins.<br><br>I think you did well on all the other ones so far, but The Weather Man to me was just another slapped together shlock movie. No? The one with Will Ferrel(sic) right?<br> <br> <p></p><i></i>

You might be thinking of 'The Anchor Man' when you mention Will Farrel.<br><br>I haven't seen 'The March of the Penguins' or 'The Weather Man.'<br><br>But the same messaging to counter the bad news is built into the title and idea.<br><br>Did 'Penguins' mention that the ice caps are melting?<br>Did 'Penguins' mention that oil spills kill them off?<br>Which way do things "march"? FORWARD.<br>The truth is that penguins are moving towards EXTINCTION.<br>Subliminal mollification accomplished.<br><br>Denying global warming and ignoring truth-telling weather men by discrediting one in a movie is the only reason to stick major box-office draw Nicholas Cage in a money-loser in the same year that S. 517 is passed. <br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.theorator.com/bills109/s517.html">www.theorator.com/bills109/s517.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>(Weather Modification Research and Technology Transfer Authorization Act of 2005)<br><br>NASA has set-up an online science program SPECIFICALLY to lie to kids about what the hell those lines in the sky really are-<br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/5-8/features/F_Contrails_5-8.html">www.nasa.gov/audience/for...s_5-8.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>(NASA - 2005 Contrail Count-a-Thon)<br><br>Some Americans have seen the chemtrails planes filling the sky with cloud-generating lines and some haven't.

Yeah, your right I was thinkng of 'The Anchor Man' and I don't know anything about 'The Weather Man'.<br> 'March of the Penguins from what I hear is about the melting of the Antartic ice shelf, but its ok because the penguins know how to adapt. Its next up on movie night for me and the Mrs thats why I asked. I wanted to impress her with some inside info.<br> I noticed the trails in the bay area today also btw.<br><br> One place that I see an ever increasing propaganda campaign are billboards(you might agree). Drive down the 101 corridor from SF to Redwood City, its shameful.<br> <br> Condition the masses.<br> Your right its all about awareness. <p></p><i></i>

aaaaarrrrgggghhh. As bad as I predicted just from the fekkin' title.

You guys are talking about 'chemtrails' as though it's understood that everyone knows what they are and what they do. But I honestly have no idea what you're describing. Could somebody give be a hint? ie, what do they look like, and what do you think their effects are? <p></p><i></i>

<!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://p216.ezboard/frigorousintuionfrm10.showMessage?topicID=3225.topic">chemtrail/contrail discussion</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br> Above is a discussion recently on the subject. Chemtrail discussion starts on page 2.<br> I personally believe that there is a campaign to use military aircraft to spray chemicals in the sky.<br> Why?<br> I believe they spray to decrease rainfall, although it doesn't explain why they spray in the summer months when, where I live, there isn't much rain anyways.<br> If you look into it you would see 50 different theories on why they may/or may not be spraying aerosols into the atmosphere.<br><br> Back to my theory: I think, becuase of global warming, that if they don't spray it would rain dramatically. The masses would know something is dreadfully wrong, there would be an outcry to stop using fossil fuels and start using more earth freindly sources of energy.<br> If the rainfall is average the masses go about their business as usual. The oil companies make bucks and everyone is happy. Which of course is only an illusion.<br> A little bit of my theory on a subject that has become very complicated.<br> As you soon may find out. <p></p><i></i>

Re: AlicetheCurious asks what are chemtrails?

Postby Hugh Manatee Wins » Fri Mar 10, 2006 1:52 am

Probably cloud production to slow global warming.<br><br>It took years to determine but scientists have decided that cloud cover has a net cooling effect and can abate the Greenhouse effect producing global warming.<br><br>Jets create huge lines of white plume perpendicular to each other like big 'X's and the plumes spread out into cloud cover.<br><br>This can't be admitted due to public reaction and the politico-economic implications. Energy policy (burning oil) would have to change. Environmentalism is kryptonite to the corporate 'Supermen' who deny responsibilty for poisoning our planet.<br><br>Corporations and their White House cabal are horrified that the group awareness that's called Vietnam Syndrome has an ecological counterpart that will prevent them carrying out the Project For a New American Century plan for global conquest.<br><br>With the increase of storms that kill people in very noticeable ways like Katrina, covering up this ecodisaster is especially important to the power control group in this country because even worse is ahead.<br><br>The poles are melting like an end-of-the-world movie and children are on the front line of disinfo with their own NASA website. <br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/5-8/features/F_Contrails_5-8.html">www.nasa.gov/audience/for...s_5-8.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>Denial, disinfo, and diffusion is ratcheting up to previously unseen levels everywhere.That's why I lined out the movies and internet campaigns to diffuse this catalytic awareness and concern. <p></p><i></i>
