Yahoo steers towards 'Buffy' conf. to upstage Media confer.

Postby Hugh Manatee Wins » Mon Jun 09, 2008 4:25 am

Yahoo on Sunday June 8, 2008 steered its readers to an academic conference on TV's 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' instead of the annual Media Reform Conference.

How appropriate for spooky bloodsucking AT&T/Yahoo CIA media!
Notice this example of everyday use of subliminal messaging with keywords and images.

This past weekend (June 6-8) was the annual big Media Reform conference sponsored by the Free Press with a Sunday keynote speech by CFR gatekeeper Bill Moyers who always gets quoted on progressive sites afterwards as if PBS was 'alternative media.' Hmph.

Legendary Journalist Electrifies Packed Crowd at National Conference for Media Reform

June 7.2008

MINNEAPOLIS -- Today, legendary journalist Bill Moyers electrified an audience of more than 3,500 in Minneapolis, calling the media reform movement "the most significant citizens' movement to emerge in this new century."

Dan Rather Slams Corporate News at National Conference for Media Reform

June 8.2008
Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather delivered a blistering critique of corporate news on Saturday night at the National Conference for Media Reform hosted by Free Press.


So Yahoo used its front page to steer us instead towards a 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' three-day academic conference using a combination of 'Favorite Searches' and a subliminal nudge in a featured "news" -ahem- story about getting enough sleep with a photo of a pajama-ed young women baring her neck plus a few keywords about “sleepwalking” and “finding food.”. Get it? Vampires?

Hugh - please answer these questions:

1- Who, at Yahoo!, was responsible for co-ordinating the process of embedding the subliminal messages, keywords, and images.

2- How did he (the coordinator) direct the content editors to embed the subliminal messages, keywords and images.

3- Were the content editors aware of the process they were actioning?

I look forward to your answers.

Thanks,

Telexx
Me: Take your meta-model questions, and shove them up your arse.

Pedant #1: How, specfically, should I do that.

Me: FFS! Aiiieee. I don't care. Kthx.

4- Generally speaking how does the Yahoo front page work technically: EG what aspects of what appears there are actually deliberately placed by a specific person, and what appears randomly, based on time/date, based on user preferences, advertising, cookies, etc etc etc?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer was one of the most subversive shows on television. It's the last weekly television series I continued to watch weekly until the end of it's completely unsatisfying last season. After that, I stopped watching weekly TV shows.

But my point is: If Yahoo is steering readers toward an academic conference on this show, they are steering them toward what is highly likely to be a lot of discussion of the hidden evil that exists unremarked all around us, behind the facade of seemingly normal-looking people and institutions, such as high schools, mayor's offices, athletic teams, runaway youth shelters, etc.

In a way, such discussions would likely be less direct than if they were at an alternative media conference, obviously. But in another way, they would almost certainly be more direct.

I miss that show. I was and always will be in love with Spike, as he was before he returned to Sunnydale from his lengthy quest to regain his soul, during which he apparently got a perm and misplaced his leather coat somewhere in Africa or the jungles of South America. It wasn't really clear which. But either way, his having-a-soul look just didn't do it for me. Whereas soulless Spike was teh hot.

To be honest, I felt like I was being 'steered' by the OP.

Now, if said post was accompanied by actual screen shots (I know, asking for pictures could be considered a bad thing), showing the process as presented by the unwitting Yahoo surfer, I'd give it more credibility. As it stands, I'll just guess that the Buffy conference and the Media one just so happened to be happening at the same time.

I'd also second compared2what?'s thought that Buffy is an unlikely candidate for the kind of pop culture that the CIA would WANT to steer readers towards.

PS: Evil Willow rocks my world, probably because she reminds me of so many of my ex-girlfriends. I was very particular back in the 80s. :D

So your problem this time is a "CFR gatekeeper" didn't get good coverage?

well, i am sure that the idea that the CIA would expend energy to help Moyers prepare the talking points of his speech, while at the same time expend energy to try to make sure as few people as possible actually hear the speech could be explained in some Hegelian fashion....

That comment must've taken .0008 seconds to produce.
This ain't rocket science, Jeff.
Don't act like it is and be glib about psyops in these times of US torture gulags, ok?

The Media Rerform Conference series sponsored by the Free Press is being attacked from within and without.

>The conference attendees are being slowed down by Mr. CFR Limited hang-out Moyers who asked people to support PBS, another CIA Left limited hang-out venue.

The conference itself is being made invisible by AT&T/Yahoo even as Fox's Bill O'Reilly scorns Dan Rather for appearing there with a bunch of "crazies," a double discrediting move.

Why? And you still ignored AT&T/Yahoo's blackout on the Media Reform Conference in favor of....what?

I'd also second compared2what?'s thought that Buffy is an unlikely candidate for the kind of pop culture that the CIA would WANT to steer readers towards.


A violent girl fighting occult Evil? Are you kidding?
The Pentagon, CIA, and FBI have been heavily recruiting young women since the mid-1990s.

As soon as girl's sports legislation passed and violent female role models went on TV like Buffy and Zena the Warrior...America's schoolyards filled up with violent aggressive girls, a previously only male problem.

Such is the power of the brain's mirror neurons responding to image-conditioning and role models.

Check out the 'KimPossible' thread to see how Disney used a naked mole rat for gender recruiting purposes.

Yahoo doesn't tell us.

Uh, the way any other editor does in other CIA-influenced/controlled media.

3- Were the content editors aware of the process they were actioning?


Probably some were. Doesn't seem like a one person job to me.

Answer these questions for me, please-

1) Do you see Yahoo every single day as I do?

2) Have you been watching the editing and layout details of Yahoo as I have for subliminal article tie-ins to legislative themes, court cases, psyops movies, and safe news stories that occlude dangerous news stories and diversions away from scandals?

3) Do you know the longstanding relationship with CIA that AT&T has?

4) Do you think that CIA media would not gatekeep mainstream internet providers when the internet can take you straight to finding out about CIA media, for instance?

HUGH: I know that you've been asked "Have you actually watched (or played - when a video game was mentioned) (x)" in the past with no actual answer given, but I have to ask...

Have you watched Buffy? And if so how much?

Because your TV Guide tagline description isn't what the show is about, beyond a superficial description. I never really watched the show until it's run had more or less ended, because I was under that same impression, but was convinced by friends (a surprisingly high number of them) that Buffy was actually pretty subversive, and deceptively nuanced.

I've seen a few episodes and looked through a book of 'The Philosophy of Buffy' etc.
There's a 'philosophy' book for about a dozen tv shows.

Because your TV Guide tagline description isn't what the show is about, beyond a superficial description.


A superficial description is quite adequate for how children see tv shows.
That's how parents and lefties and academics and more nuanced viewers miss the effect on youth.

Keyword: SLAYER.
...not very nuanced...

This is just 'sacred warrior' role modeling ala Star Wars but for girls-
"...the latest in a line of young women chosen by fate to battle against vampires, demons, and the forces of darkness as the Slayer. Like previous Slayers, Buffy is aided by a Watcher, who guides and trains her. "


MEANWHILE, back at the Media Reform Conference, the illegal war was being reviled even by gatekeepers.
