Resisting Brainwashing Propaganda

[quote]A maltreated animal has two potential responses to an
abusive master: attack to stop the abuse, or cower/flee to avoid
it. He cannot disarm the bully with a witty remark or ironically
imitate his master behind his back for his own amusement. One of
the first government actions in Nazi Germany was the
establishment of a law against treacherous attacks on the state
and party that made anti-Nazi humor an act of treason,[I] and
there was a reason for this.[/I] Research has shown that humor
is the most effective means of preventing the indoctrination of
brainwashing.”
How’s that?! It’s a mind control deterrent! Laugh on,
people…it’s protecting you!
[/quote]
And there is MORE to this humor thing than meets the eye. Con
artists can be quite humorous in their attempts to gain your
trust and make you believe they are your friend. However, a
person lacking a sense of humor or who gets upset when you
question them is a red flag that the person is NOT honest. So if
the joker only laughs at his own jokes but never at himself,
don't trust the joker. More on that later. ;)

DHS and NSA Threaten to Sue Man for Selling "Department of

Two things stand out.
First of all the NSA is behaving like is NOT trustworthy (see
post above).
Secondly, it appears to be involved in brainwashing propaganda
efforts because, otherwise they would not be concerned about
shutting down ridicule (see post above). ;)

Surly,
Unfortunately, the madness accelerates a as the money to run the
police state becomes more difficult to come by. A historical
argument has been made that Nazi Germany was going to run out of
money and enter a massive depression if they did not start the
war(s) when they did. So it seems that the demonic, barbaric
cruel, intolerant, overbearing, suffocating and continuously
squeezing harder and harder of the populace by these fascist
nutballs is sort of like an exponential curve ending in the
Seneca cliff; they just cannot seem to back down, even for their
own survival.
Yes, the madness does end. But only when snooping on and
bullying other people is not a government paid job.

Images that can set you up to believe a lie
Image on left warns of you of deceit (when there may not be any
in order to undermine someone's credibility ;)). Image on the
right is a spoof on a misleading newspaper story (with the
possible intention to inform you of a truth OR set you up to
believe a true newspaper article was false! :o

Propagandists use an apparently truthful image (which is
actually misleading and confusing) to set you up to believe a
lie. SEE NEXT IMAGE BELOW: >:(

2. A cube/box promising pie in the sky unlimited energy (Clearly

3. A SINGLE cube/box, not many (implying a SINGLE - i.e. nuclear

Yeah, it's funny! But imagine that you have never heard of
photoshop or seen a cat before...
As ridiculous as it sounds, people exposed to enough photos of
some animal doing unusually smart things will begin to
unconsciously believe the animals in question are much smarter
than they are. This technique is used in presidential photo ops
quite effectively. ;D REMEMBER, the image is a lead in to
reinforce whatever the article or ad below the image says. ;)

Impossible fruit Sometimes, in devious marketing, they will use
an OBVIOUSLY false image as an attention getter; a sort of
visual non sequitur to get you to turn your head. I say DEVIOUS
because, depending on the location on the page, they may not
want you looking too hard at something they HAD to print so they
distract you with a strategically placed image.
There are many ways to use the above, including making the fruit
look quite believable and nutritious prior to a pitch for some
processed product like vitamins that are made from a tiny bit of
some fruit extract and 47 other totally artificial ingredients,
some of them carcinogenic! ???
It's a jungle out there! >:(
Here's WHY propagandists can fool us easier with images/photos
before an article than without them.
When a photo is added along with a statement, it tends to make a
person more likely to believe the statement to be true. Research
has found that when study participants are given a photo
statement, they are more likely to believe the statement than
when it is printed alone. This is thought to be the result of
fluency, which means that the brain is more able to recall
things if there are more items — such as pictures — associated
with it. The more fluent an item, the more likely the brain
might be to recall it and thus judge it as being true. :o
More about truth:
•"Truthiness," a word coined by American comedian Stephen
Colbert that means the intuitive feeling of truth without
necessarily having evidence, was Merriam-Webster's word of the
year in 2006.
•When a person has been in a relationship for an extended period
of time, he or she is more likely to use the part of the brain
responsible for habitual decisions and thus more likely to
quickly believe his or her partner.
•People typically do not perceive strangers as being truthful.
In one study, half of the people believed that a fellow
participant would help them as promised, when the actual number
was closer to 80%.

Agelbert NOTE: The last bit of info helps explain why a real con
artist will NEVER expect you to trust him when he begins his
approach, whether in his capacity as a government brainwasher or
a corporate brainwasher (the common street con artist is much
less a threat because they are not as informed on your habits
and personality).

There are still lots of GOOD people around resisting EVIL and
working to do the will of the Creator of the Universe. The above
are examples of good honest people telling the TRUTH. Watch out
for those who distort EVERYTHING that is decent and good by
calling the evil good and the good evil.
[font=courier]Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil;
that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put
bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20
"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your
whole body will be full of light.
But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of
darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is
that darkness! Matthew 6:22-23
Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent-- the LORD
detests them both. Proverbs 17:15
There are those who turn justice into bitterness and cast
righteousness to the ground. Amos 5:7
Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails. The
wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted.
Habakkuk 1:4
You have wearied the LORD with your words. "How have we wearied
him?" you ask. By saying, "All who do evil are good in the eyes
of the LORD, and he is pleased with them" or "Where is the God
of justice?" Malachi 2:17

selectively rational display.
Proof that YOU are right and the ONLY metric that "covers all
the bases" in defining EVIL is having lots of money is one that
can never be suitably countered to your satisfaction.
WHY?
Money is and always has been, a symbol of power and resources,
the more money ,the more power to dominate, use, exploit and
abuse fellow life forms and the environment.

You don't address the dirt poor, but very smart psychopath who

I'm not saying you are not capable of discerning right from
wrong and judging human good and bad behavior; I AM saying that
you are putting yourself on a pedestal of righteousness! The
INSTANT you HAVE the power to strip the power and resources
(money) from the richest people on earth, YOU are BY DEFINITION,
RICHER than they are!

As Surly said,[quote] "
It is painfully obvious that ideology is a tool for control of
the "useful idiots," the Brown shirts who do the dirty work of
the elites who pull their strings. It's always been this way.
And when you reluctantly don the heavy crown of the Orkin Man,
you will need your own brownshirts to round up the billionaires
and operate the guillotines, yes?"

Ashvin said, [quote]"Nonsense. The very IDEA that pop. overshoot

(wrong in my view) that you can make our society equitable and
decent by limiting power over the evil predatory piggies
(including playing Whak-A-Mole as a "king" for any poor folks
with "piggy" tendencies in the future).
Ashvin said,[quote] "The moral imperative of selfless behavior
starts to become a rationalist calculation of cost vs. benefits.
It's all well and good for us to say here, "BUT, loving our
neighbors (let alone enemies) will always bring us greater
benefits than costs, so we'll always do it!", but history bears
out the exact opposite. When individuals and societies start to
think that the costs of helping others gets too high, it's the
FIRST thing to go out the window."

[b]
I'll tell you what happens; THIS: [/b]"When individuals and
societies start to think that the costs of helping others gets
too high, it's the FIRST thing to go out the window."
Face it, RE. Righting the world's wrongs is a job only God knows
how to do. The fact that He hasn't done it to your satisfaction
doesn't mean you can take over the duties of the Great Slacker
in the Sky, so to speak. YOU think He has fallen down on the
job! That is IDEOLOGY.
I don't pretend to understand God; but I know the best way to do
the RIGHT THING in this world is to OBEY HIM and respect all
life within my limited abilities.
Playing God is what smart people, many who start out with the
best of intentions, many of them church leaders, many of them
with brilliant minds, all of them ambitious, clever and
reasonable, have done to screw up this world, despoil its beauty
and prey on its innocents, thereby transforming a grand venture
of noble undertaking into a celebration of corruption and evil.
