<!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>WHAT IF these propaganda operations by the military-intel-media-corporate are MUCH more sophisiticated and extensive and virtually permeate the media and we just simply do not notice it.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>If you know the number of known Scientologists in Hollywood, then do some guesswork as to how many closeted Scientologists there are in Hollywood (the more elite figures in production/direction more likely to be clandestine Scientologists than your ordinary actor), you might think that there is hardly a major project that isn't created by, coordinated by, and cast with Scientologists. I mention this because of the connections between Scientology, the occult, and intelligence agencies. If there were a propaganda campaign designed to pacify and control the masses using the suggestive power and geographical reach of TV/films, then a farm system of carefully manipulated "models" would come in handy.<br><br>Remember the movie My Dinner with Andre, when Andre suggests to Wally that we are living in a trance purposefully induced by the government? We tend to focus a lot on propagandizing in the news media, but the propagandizing in mainstream Hollywood narratives is less detectable, harder to combat, and far more treacherous. Our emotional states are being manipulated. The very fabric of our daily lives, our most spontaneous and personal interactions with friends and strangers, is virtually prescribed by the Hollywood behavior headquarters. Our conversations - their tone, their diction, their content - is generally dictated by movies. We mimic our parents as infants, that's how we learn to walk, talk, gesture, emote, and even think. I don't think that the mimickry ends when you're an adult. Sure there are some people that evolve into sui generis creatures, and they in turn influence their circle of acquaintances, who are at least mimicking an original persona. But there are SO MANY people who are a composite of traits, tics, and ideas adopted from various movie characters, stand-up comedians, sports announcers, you name it. And realize, there are MILLIONS of people who have adopted a similar batch of traits etc. from the SAME pool of behavioral and intellectual habits, Hollywood. It used to not be this way. Before Hollywood, contagious ideologies and styles only affected/infected a precise tract of geography and culture. Now...Hollywood is a giant electric octopus with its tentacles probing the conscious and subconscious minds of our entire country, our entire world. There is really no easy escape. Quit watching television, fine. But 90% of the people you interact with will still watch it, and you will still be exposed through them to the behavioral viruses of Hollywood. You have to be really guarding your existential core to deflect the influences of movies and television, and you will suffer for it by being an outsider to much of what passes for society today. On the other hand, if you can cope well enough, you can also be the most interesting person your acquaintances will ever know, and your taint-free worldview and lifestyle could be a challenge and inspiration to all you know. Even if the truth about wars and dirty business is waved in front of your face, you won't be able to resist if you're emotionally warped or divorced. You have to be able to seduce people, but to do it with honesty. Seduce them to the truth. Seduce them away from the manufactured dreams and coercive illusions of the mainstream media. Maybe that's one of the benefits of the X-Files, it made paranoid truth-hunting cool. So even as it tried to co-opt and poison the paranoid truth movement, maybe the X-Files aroused a generation to take a dive down the rabbit hole. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p097.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=fourthbase>FourthBase</A> at: 8/1/05 1:48 am<br></i>
