PROPAGANDA: American Happiness Peaked in the 1950s BEFORE Television Brainwashing Convinced Us That We Were Unhappy Unless We Bought Their Plastic Crap.

The Movie PROPAGANDA States that Television is used to Brainwash People into Becoming Mindless Consumers... and that the Main Technique is to Convince Viewers that they Would Become Happy if They Simply Bought The Product Being Advertised...

Ever Notice that People DANCE Wildly With The Product in TV Ads? Ecstasy! Wayfair = BLISS! Instant Joy Thru Consumption...

Propaganda
is a 2012 New Zealand mockumentary[2] film directed by Slavko Martinov. It takes the view of the North Korean government and describes western media and culture as purely forms of propaganda.

Buy Plastic Crap - meme

How I Fight The Mind Control: I Mute the Sound Whenever a TV Commercial Starts... Then I Close my Eyes and Say a Prayer While Doing Deep Breathing. I Contact God Maybe 8 Times an Hour While Watching TV... and That's a Wonderful Thing to Do Instead of Absorbing Evil Messages Telling Me I'm Unhappy... and the Solution is to BUY! BUY! BUY!

and Even Weirder than Wayfair... The REAL REAL... Super Expensive "Designer" Merchandise 90% Off because it's Used... Because 90% of the Price of New Designer Merchandise is BOGUS!


Did You Know That There is an Entire Illegal Business Based on Using Stolen Credit Cards to buy Purses that Cost $600.00 and Reselling them Online...


The Worst Example of TV Advertising Brainwashing is PSYCH MEDS... because PSYCH MEDS Frequently Cause Mental Health Problems... That's More Customers for The Drug Companies... Try our Drug XYZ and if That Doesn't Help... Try our Drug EIEIO... Don't Worry, It's All Paid for by Insurance...


It Reminds me of "Soma" from the Book Brave New World...

Ever see an add for 1-800-GOT JUNK ??? That's a Business That Will Take Your Excess Plastic Crap Away... and the People That Use this Service Dance Wildly With Joy! We Consumed and it Failed to Make Us Happy but Now a Guy Will Haul Away all those Super Duper Excellent Purchases! WHEE!


I'm Angered by all the TV Ads for Prescription Medicine. Patients Pay for Those TV Ads in Higher Drug Prices... I Buy Doctor Drugs and Every time I See Some Crap being Promoted I Realize That They Took MY MONEY and Used it to Buy TV Ads.

and then there are the Endless Advertisements for Medicare Supplement Plans... That's Elder Abuse! When I Turned 65 I Had to Make Choices about My Medicare Insurance... I Could Not Understand the Cost vs Benefit of the Competing Insurance Companies... So I selected to Buy the Coverage Offered by the Labor Union I Belonged to When I was Working... I Figured that They Would Have Negotiated the best plan... SEIU is a Huge Union and Very Powerful... I find that My Sister In Law ALSO was Confused by Medicare Supplemental Plans... and She's been a Nurse for 40 Years... so she chose the plan offered by AARP because they are a Reputable Organization... However, Every time I see a TV AD Selling Medicare Supplemental Insurance I Have the Instinctive Emotion that I'm Getting Ripped OFF... and I Could Do Better... but I'm Afraid to Actually Call the 800 Number on My Screen because I Have the Gut Feeling That I'll be talking to a Hard Sell Telemarketer that'll try to Rip Me Off Even Worse!

also... Advertising and Mind Control is Used In ALL TV Shows... Especially TV NEWS... FOX uses the FEAR Reflex to Keep Viewers Watching... This Works Because a Million Years of Evolution Favored People That Were Afraid... and Vigilant... and Those People Had More Children that Survived to Adulthood... For Example: If a Member of the Tribe working as a Guard Said "DANGER DANGER" When a Sabre Toothed Tiger Approached People Sleeping... The People That WOKE UP and Got a Weapon to Defend Themselves Survived... and That Technique works Today... In Cave Man Days, Strangers Could Attack and Steal Food and Women...

TV NEWS Marketing Sells Hate of Strangers... and The Entire Republican Party Sells "Stranger Danger" - Look at Trump's Border Wall... Designed to Keep Brown Skinned People OUT of the USA...
and When Black People from Haiti Tried to Get In... We Bought 'em a One Way Airplane Ticket Right Back Where they Came From. That was a Democratic Party Action...

and it's Not Just FOX... All TV Shows Sell Fear... That way People will buy More GUNS... and More Burglar Alarm Systems... Look at CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and NBC... Endless Stories of Danger-Danger... and Stranger Danger...

I took an Online Survey about Childhood Trauma and Recovery... and Had this to say: I don't know much about childhood trauma because I Had a Happy Childhood and everyone in my family did... Basically... we are good people and live our lives doing good... we are opposed to evil... and it's obvious to tell the difference... I believe we ought to arrest many more evil people and keep them incarcerated... that way they won't breed and their defective genes will not be passed on to the next generation...

Headline: PragerU Says Florida Teachers Approved to Use Its Class ‘Curriculum’
It’s the latest shakeup to Florida’s public education curriculum, which has taken a sharp conservative turn under Gov. Ron DeSantis’ leadership.
The Florida Department of Education told The Daily Beast in an email that it determined PragerU Kids’ material “aligns to Florida’s revised civics and government standards” and can be used by school districts at their discretion.
The announcement comes less than a week after the state announced middle school students would be taught that slavery was beneficial to some Black people, and as DeSantis actively cheerleads the Moms For Liberty—classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center—as they fight to restrict education about race and gender.

Florida’s attacks on academic freedom just got even worse.

In a years-long campaign that now seems destined to end with a third-place finish in Iowa, DeSantis reshaped Florida in his image, pursuing culture-war fights that he hoped would grab media attention and convince Republican primary voters that he was hurting their most hated enemies.
Among these was the seizure and restructuring of New College of Florida, a public liberal arts college in Sarasota that was long known in the state for its curious students, eclectic faculty and countercultural bent.

Mass Exodus at New College After DeSantis’ Conservative Takeover.

New College of Florida is in complete chaos after Gov. Ron DeSantis staged a conservative takeover of the school earlier this year. Now, with the semester’s start just weeks away, students are being greeted with housing issues, canceled classes, and missing professors. Since DeSantis appointed six new right-wing trustees to the school’s board in January, more than 40 faculty members have quit the small public college.

WOKE means Aware of Reality. ANTI-WOKE Means Brainwashed.

 I was surprised that when I Posted these words as a MEME on FaceBorg, Many People Commented...

For Example: 
Wokeness, was first coined in the early 80's. From research conducted at UCLA Westwood, CA. It revealed, that men of color, were more likely, to receive longer incarceration times, than their white counterparts. The GOP, as usual, has distorted it. Because, they prey upon ignorance!

and someone else said: 
It was a statement about eyes being wide open to inequities in our society until the GOP repurposed it to describe anything they didn’t like. You know, sort of like Socialism and Communism. They have no idea what those mean either.
Willfully and blissfully ignorant.

and I said: 
Some People Insist that BEING BRAINWASHED is the Best Way to Live Life... Of Course That DOES Remove the Burden of Making Choices... Big Brother Will Simply TELL YOU WHAT TO DO.

WOKE Meme by Some Guy on FaceBorg

Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination".[1][2]

Robert Reich Said: 
Friends,
Now that President Biden has signed into law the debt-ceiling deal, what can we expect in the next 17 months leading up to the 2024 election?
1. House MAGA Republicans will be less of a force.
It was supposed to be their ace in the hole, their single biggest bargaining leverage. But in the end, House MAGA Republicans got surprisingly little out of their agreement to increase the debt ceiling.
Yes, they acted irresponsibly. They manufactured a debt crisis out of whole cloth. They played a reckless hostage-taking game. They could have wrecked the full faith and credit of the United States. They demanded spending cuts that would have hurt lots of vulnerable Americans.
Yet in the end, they got almost zilch. They’ve been shown to be paper tigers.
The final deal leaves Biden’s economic agenda mainly untouched (except for a limited rollback of some IRS funds and the ending of a pause on federal student loan payments expected to expire anyway).
And although it imposes new work requirements for the beneficiaries of some federal aid, including childless adults who receive food stamps, it increases spending in the program (and is expected to cover more people) while sparing Medicaid.
I very much doubt that Kevin McCarthy has suddenly discovered the virtues of compromise and bipartisanship. His speakership continues to depend on the support of MAGA crazies in the House like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jim Jordan, Scott Perry, and Lauren Boebert.
I expect that in coming months the House MAGAs will do all sorts of outrageous things to demonstrate fealty to their Republican base: try to impeach Biden, drag Hunter Biden through muddy hearings, pass bills prioritizing freedom of religion above all other values, even flirt with a national abortion ban.
Their hearings will get lots of play on Fox News and Newsmax, but they’ll lead nowhere, and their bills will die in the Senate.
2. Biden’s quiet diplomacy is working, at least for now.
Biden didn’t try to rally the public behind him. He might have told the nation why the very existence of the debt ceiling was an affront to both the Constitution and the nation’s standing. He could have threatened to use the 14th Amendment and publicly invited the Supreme Court to rule on it.
But this was not Biden. In his 50 years of public service, he has never delivered a speech with the power to alter the public’s understanding of a major issue.
Over the next 17 months, Biden won’t take on MAGA Republicans openly and vociferously, no matter how outrageously they act. Instead, he’ll quietly work away at implementing his infrastructure, technology, and climate legislation.
3. The Trump factor wasn’t in play, but it will be.
As in Sherlock Holmes’s mystery “The Dog That Didn’t Bark,” silence was a big part of the story — in this case, that of Donald Trump during the critical final weeks of negotiation.
Had Trump weighed in loudly against it, House Republicans would not have gone along.
Biden’s behind-the-scenes strategy of compromise will work less well closer to the election, as America is subjected to full-bore Trump. And it’s certainly no match for a growing White Christian Nationalist movement that Trump has enabled, which threatens the very essence of American democracy.
Some commentators argue that the debt-ceiling deal begins to “reestablish a broad bipartisan political center.”
Rubbish. There can be no center to American politics as long as most Republican voters support Trump and most Republican lawmakers follow Trump’s lead. There’s no “center” between democracy and authoritarianism.
4. The debt will continue to soar, but that may not be a problem.
The debt agreement will cut expected increases in federal spending by $1.5 trillion over a decade, mainly by freezing some funding and limiting spending to 1 percent growth in 2025.
Yet the national debt as a percentage of the total economy will continue to grow.
This is largely due to the inevitable demographics of baby boomers — who will be retiring and collecting Social Security and Medicare.
Republicans will almost certainly take their debt savings as an invitation for more tax cuts on the wealthy and big corporations, just as they turned savings from their 2011 deal into the 2017 tax cut.
Democrats should resist this and continue to demand that the rich pay their fair share of taxes. Democrats must also advocate for more generous safety nets and public investments.
There’s no good reason the U.S. remains the only rich nation without paid family leave, paid vacations, universal health care, affordable college, child and elder care. These are all hugely popular with voters. Make them issues for 2024.
As to the debt itself, neither party really cares about it. Although it has doubled from $15 trillion in 2011 to $31.4 trillion now, it has not had any obvious negative effect on the economy.
5. The federal budget will become little more than Social Security, Medicare, and defense.
Perhaps the biggest single shift in Republican strategy as revealed in the debt deal is the GOP’s newfound willingness to protect Social Security and Medicare.
Think how far we’ve come from 2005 when George W. Bush tried to privatize Social Security. This time around, MAGA Republicans went out of their way to wall off these popular programs. (Trump warned MAGAs not to touch them.)
In a few years, if present trends continue, the federal budget will essentially be Social Security, Medicare, and national defense — with a few odds and ends tacked on. Non-defense discretionary spending has been falling as a share of the economy for several years, and it will now fall even farther.
I don’t want to minimize the significance of what just occurred. America has dodged a lethal bullet. Biden played it about as well as it could have been played, given who he is and who they are. Had the debt ceiling not been lifted, we’d be facing economic Armageddon within days.
But in terms of the factors contributing to that lethal bullet, little has changed. The MAGA Republicans have been stymied for now, but they’re still dangerous as hell.
What are your thoughts?

Yes, Republicans are blaming, President Biden for the inflation. No one man, not even President of the United States can do that folks. It's corporate greed as displayed here, production and distribution breaks downs, and mostly republican politicians refusing to vote for anything remotely helpful to the American people. The only exception was the Pandemic relief money. However, that being said, the republican politicians kept wanting to reduce the amount Americans would be given to live on, (through no fault of their own) despite record unemployment, and a rampant deadly virus on the loose causing widespread shut downs with many businesses. It baffles my mind how people forget all that...all they were put through by republican politicians during one of the worst times in our nation's and world's history. More baffling is blaming President Biden for all their woes. He wanted people to get help, he tried and tried to get us pandemic relief money, more food assistance for those on government food programs, he kept people from getting evicted from their homes because they couldn't go to work. I could go on and on, but it was the republican politicians who not only didn't want to continue to help, but wanted to reduce help given and then began to say "no" to all help. I ask you who does that to people in need? I think or I would hope you know the answer to those questions. Please vote accordingly.

SE SAID:
It's interesting when people on the right make comments like, "The left is obsessed with Trump" or "The left can't stop talking about Trump." Of course, they never, ever acknowledge the reasons WHY we need to talk about Trump. Trump is the first president who refused to concede that he lost an election, and instead of the peaceful transfer of power, he rallied his supporters to stage a coup to try to seize power. That was almost 2 years ago, but now he still insists that he actually won the election, and he shows no remorse for his actions on January 6th. Then later, classified documents which did not belong to him were found at Mar-a-Lago, and he refused to return those documents, so the FBI had to go in and get the documents. These things have NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE with any other former president. Is it really so weird that "the left" would talk about these incidents?? It's not as if people are just sitting around talking about him for no reason. He has done things - and continues to do things - which can't be ignored because they are so egregious. How is it possible that anyone does not understand that?
We don't really have any reason to talk about Obama anymore. We don't really have any reason to talk about Bush anymore. The reason is because Obama and Bush have never broken any laws or threatened our democracy in any way. If either Obama or Bush had done the things Trump did, we WOULD talk about them. If a former US president threatens our democracy, of COURSE it should be talked about. Until Trump is finally held accountable for his actions, I hope everyone continues to talk about those actions.

and RB Said: 
By the way, the person that said that considers themselves to be very Left leaning.
and SE Replied:
You understand the reasons WHY people still talk about Trump, don't you? You understand that we wouldn't talk about him if he would stop with the "stolen election" lies and just fade into the background like every past president has done. Surely you can see the difference?

and RB Replied:
I know why you guys talk about him. The man is a media whore that the Left loves to feed. It doesn't matter if what said is good or bad, he knows that his value just goes up.
You're probably not going to like this either: Mark my words, after all of this Jan 6 stuff is done, Trump will not go to jail. He might loose some money (which has never bothered him because he always comes right back) but everyone around him will go down. Hate him or love him, he's not stupid and has got away with this kind of crap all of his life.

and then SE Said:
You're probably right that "Teflon Don" won't go to jail. But are you saying that you think we should just stop talking about the crazy stuff he does? It's not about some irrational obsession with Trump, it's based on the things he does! If any other past president did the things he has done, the media would talk about them just as much!

and RB Replied:
Like I said, talk good or bad about him, he just gets more recognition, fame and worth. All presidents do crappy things. They're just playing political games. Didn't Obama drone bomb an innocent wedding? And how are they all worth millions after getting paid $450K/year? They're not servants of the people, they serve corporations and special interests.

and AI Said:
The Jan 6th hearings have actually chipped away at his remaining support. It’s true there are still a significant number of people who are either completely out of touch with reality or who thrive in the bigoted atmosphere he allows and so still support him.
But his frauds have been laid bare in NY court and that judgement is likely to severely curtail his usefulness and his pocketbook.
It’s going slowly, true, but it is still going in the right directions. Unfortunately, too much still hinges on the upcoming election and the GOP is sure to pull out every dirty trick they can.

and JA Said:
bringing up an Obama drone strike only highlights one of the most striking differences between Trump and other presidents.
Other presidents have tried to do the right thing, but sometimes get bad intel.
With Trump, though, even when he had good intel, his tendency was to do the wrong thing.
He knew he had lost the election and that the conspiracy theories were false, but he amplified them anyway.
He had guidance that could have helped the country get through the COVID outbreak with less damage and fewer lives lost, but he insisted on resisting science.
