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.

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...

Favorite Grateful Dead Concerts: I think that the Live Performances at Football Stadiums were Wonderful Experiences - It was Truly Amazing to be in a Huge Crowd High on LSD... I started in 1972 and Loved Every Era...


Stopped Going after the Fare Ye Well concerts... Attended Stadium Shows at JFK Philadelphia, RFK Washington DC, Three Rivers Pittsburgh and Levi Santa Clara... Of Course, My Favorite Show was Winterland 1974 when they filmed the movie... wall of sound...

Why is there a Group Named QueerAnon? Sometimes Called QANON... What is Their Goal? Purpose? Are They Gay Rights Activists?

Are They Gay People That Want Their Identities Kept Secret?  Why Don't They Simply COME OUT OF THE CLOSET? Then There Would Be NO NEED to Be Anonymous!

Trump rallies his base to treat coronavirus as a ‘hoax’ - He tried to cast the global outbreak of the coronavirus as a liberal conspiracy intended to undermine his first term... 89,420 Dead Americans Disagree... #TrumpVirus is a #MAGADisaster

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/02/28/trump-south-carolina-rally-coronavirus-118269 <--- Accurate News

Who fact-checks the fact-checkers? Did Trump call coronavirus the Democrats’ “new hoax”?

Those are the big questions emerging from a controversial “false” label applied to Politico  and NBC News  stories by right-wing publisher The Daily Caller. Its Check Your Fact division is a Facebook  fact-checking partner, giving it the power to flag links on the social network as false, demoting their ranking in the News Feed as well as the visibility of the entire outlet that posted it.


Critics railed against Facebook’s decision to admit The Daily Caller to the fact-checking program last April due to its history of publishing widely debunked articles. Now some believe their fears of politically biased fact-checks are coming true.

It's Not That Trump LIES all the Time, He Really Believes in His Fantasy World. A Total Loss Of Contact With Reality. 5150

Folks, for your own safety, please ignore the President of United States. His ramblings on the coronavirus have almost nothing to do with reality, and could potentially make the outbreak worse. Last night, he called the World Health Organization’s official death rate a "false number." He also implied that it's okay to go to work if you're sick. This, of course, after he called the virus "a hoax" last week.

Once again, Trump is completing ignoring science and the facts. Instead, he is concocting his own alternative reality to protect his own image and fragile ego. But this time his lies are actively endangering the health and safety of the American people. Tune him out. Listen to the medical experts.

For Safety: Instead of Shaking Hands,
DO THE VULCAN. Live Long and Prosper.

HEALTH ALERT! Prevagen: False Advertising... Insufficient Evidence for Claim to Improve Memory... Possible Side Effects NOT MENTIONED IN ADVERTISEMENTS. HOAX!

According to The Company Website itself: Note The Asterisk!

Prevagen Improves Memory^*

Prevagen is a dietary supplement that has been clinically shown to help with mild memory loss associated with aging.* Prevagen is formulated with apoaequorin, which is safe and uniquely supports brain function.* * These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

HEADLINE: Jellyfish Memory Supplement Prevagen Is a Hoax, FTC Says... 
https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/jellyfish-memory-supplement-prevagen-hoax-ftc-says-n704886

The Federal Trade Commission and New York’s attorney general charged a company with fraud on Monday for selling a memory supplement based on a glowing jellyfish protein. Makers of a product called Prevagen are falsely advertising it as a memory booster, and falsely claiming the product can get into the human brain, the charges claim.

Memory. Early research shows that taking 10 mg of apoaequorin (Prevagen, Quincy Bioscience) daily for 90 days might improve forgetfulness, word recall, and the need for reminders in some people. But, this research is of lower quality. DONE BY QUINCY BIOSCIENCE THEMSELVES! 

https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-1486/apoaequorin

No clinical research has adequately evaluated side effects caused by apoaequorin. Some people who have taken apoaequorin have reported potential side effects to a manufacturer of the product. Some of the most commonly reported side effects were headache, dizziness, and nausea.

The manufacturer, Quincy Bioscience, used in-house clinical trials to make its claims of memory enhancement, which were not verified by independent researchers, according to Janet, Jenner & Suggs LLC, a nationwide law firm not involved in the suit.

The FDA investigated the company in 2012 and found the supplement has serious side effects, including seizures and strokes, as well as worsening symptoms of multiple sclerosis.

QAnon Sucks!

Does Prevagen Really Improve Memory?

Answer:

According to the company's website, people who use people Prevagen (Quincy Bioscience) can "experience improved memory, a sharper mind, and clearer thinking. However, a review of the evidence indicates that these effects are not well substantiated. In addition, the FDA has warned Quincy Bioscience in the past against claiming Prevagen could treat conditions such as head injuries and Alzheimer's disease and for failing to report adverse reactions. The FDA has also claimed that the key ingredient, apoaequorin, a synthetic protein, is not an acceptable ingredient in a dietary supplement. The FTC is also pursuing a lawsuit against the company regarding its promotion of Prevagen.
