Warmongering Techniques
“Perception management is a type of strategy that is aimed at guiding the motives, emotions, and conclusions of another party by means of using different approaches to alter that party’s perception of past events and the projections of future events. This particular type of strategy has been used in military operations in attempts to gain advantages over enemies, and has also found use in the business world among competitors. The goal is to alter the perception of the opposing party in a way that provides the manager with an advantage that can be used successfully to score a victory or otherwise defeat that opposing party.” http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-perception-management.htm
There is a war going on for our minds. The ruling class does everything in its power, it uses every trick and all the technology at its disposal to control what we think is real, to dominate the narrative about current events and to treat us like mushrooms, keep us in the dark and feed us cow manure. It is important we recognize the implications of the fact that six media conglomerates have almost total control over the content and programming the television shows, cable programs, movies, video games, books magazines and newspapers we have access to. To see how much influence the “Big Six” has and how much they actually controls go to http://introsociology.net/blog/2012/04/05/the-big-6-media-conglomerates-how-much-do-they-really-control/
We live in an era of deliberate perpetual global war just like in George Orwell’s novel 1984. War is extremely profitable for the banks, the military industrial complex, contractors, mercenaries, and other sundry and ancillary industries. In order to keep it going the ruling classes must dupe us into believing we are in imminent danger of attack, we must be conditioned to think there are “terrorists”, communists, Jihadist fanatics around every corner, lurking under our beds waiting for an opportunity to do us in.
Hermman Goring a prominent Nazi official explained how Hitler manipulated the people into going along with his imperialist plans. At his trial as a war criminal at Nuremburg he said, “Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or fascist dictatorship, or a parliament or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peace makers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/33505-why-of-course-the-people-don-t-want-war-why-should
Fear and ostracism are the primary tools the ruling class use followed by intimidation, ignorance and the stifling of critical thinking. If we really stop to think about it we are under no real threat from global terrorism. The threat of actual terrorism to you and I is almost nil (unless you count false flag operations like the Oklahoma City bombing, 9-11, the London subway Bombing etc). Charts and information from the US Center for Disease posted on a blog entitled Washington’s Blog claims, “Statistically speaking you/we are 35,079 times more likely to be killed by a heart attack than you are by a terrorist. You are 33,842 times more likely to die from cancer than from a terrorist attack. Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control show that Americans are 110 times more likely to die from contaminated food than terrorism…The annual number of deaths in the U.S. due to avoidable medical errors is as high as 100,000. Indeed, one of the world’s leading medical journals – Lancet – reported in 2011: A November, 2010, document from the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services reported that, when in hospital, one in seven beneficiaries of Medicare (the government-sponsored health-care programme for those aged 65 years and older) have complications from medical errors, which contribute to about 180 000deaths of patients per year. That’s just Medicare beneficiaries, not the entire American public. Scientific American noted in 2009: Preventable medical mistakes and infections are responsible for about 200,000 deaths in the U.S. each year, according to an investigation by the Hearst media corporation. And a new study in the current issue of the Journal of Patient Safety says the numbers may be up to 440,000 each year. But let’s use the lower – 100,000 – figure. That still means that you are 5,882 times more likely to die from medical error than terrorism.” http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2014/08/youre-nine-times-likely-killed-police-officer-terrorist.html
I’m sharing this so you will not continue to fall for the same ol’ lame okey-doke about weapons of mass destruction, the threat to world safety, about the latest “Hitler” and the need for humanitarian intervention the ruling elites and their sock puppet media use to dupe us into going along with their campaigns to pillage, rape and plunder. These Hi Tech barbarians make their Anglo-Saxon, Viking, Goth and Norman ancestors proud. They are just as adroit at looting and sacking as their ancestors only they do it in so many other ways undreamed of by their barbarian forefathers.
The Barbarian elites use certain tricks to dupe us and make us think other humans are our enemies or pose serious threats to us so we will sign up or acquiesce to being cannon fodder in their wars of conquest and hegemony. Here are just a few of the media mind control and propaganda tricks they employ: Atrocity accusations: Accuse the other side of committing acts of gross indecency and atrocities that will shock and show the enemy to be sub-human. When values are broken badly, then this legitimizes extreme punishment and revenge. Examples Bombing a religious building or hospital. Killing innocent victims, especially children.
Hyperbolic inflations: Exaggerate the things they believe or have done to make them particularly terrible. Use generalization to turn one instance into something that happens all the time, or that one person is representative of everyone in their group. Use emphasis to make key things stand out. Examples Taking the actions of one terrorist as representing the beliefs of everyone they claim to represent. Describing injuries as 'horrific' and 'mortal'.
Demonization and dehumanization: Make them appear as wholly bad in all ways, without hope of redemption or conversion. Frame them as evil animals who seek only to destroy that which we hold dear. Examples Comparing them with known 'demons' such as Hitler or Pol Pot.Describing their actions as disgusting and abhorrent.
Polarization: Contrast what we and they believe, say and do. Show that they are not like us, putting them and us at opposite poles. Paint our people as glorious heroes, in sharp contrast to their evil villains. Examples Talk about how our people love God whilst theirs worship the devil. Contrast how they dress and how this is not like us.
Divine sanction: Claim that what you are doing is either required or aligned with higher powers. Show you are more religious and that the holy people are on your side (especially if both sides are of the same faith). Examples Reinterpret the scriptures to justify your actions. Say you have conversed with God or a religious figure.
Meta-propaganda: Use propaganda about propaganda. Show how they make things up and are deliberately trying to deceive, whilst our messages are based on clear evidence.
If you can destroy one piece of propaganda then you shake belief in anything else they say. Meta-propaganda is hence particularly powerful.
Examples Show they have control of the media. Show video footage to support one’s own claims http://changingminds.org/techniques/propaganda/six_tools_perception_management.htm
We can relate to all of this material because as African people we have been the targets and victims of every example I’ve listed above. The US mind control propaganda machine is cranked up and humming along nicely thank you. Now it is Muslims, Vladimir Putin and the Russians who are being demonized and targeted for scorn and antipathy. This is so it will be easy to drop bombs, napalm, and depleted uranium on them when the ruling elites decide it’s time for war. Don’t believe the hype; don’t fall for the okey-doke. Think for yourself, seek out other sources of information, then make up our own mind about current events and the world around you.
