We all like to believe we think for ourselves and just ourselves.
After all it’s our mind and our thoughts and we choose to think and act for ourselves, right?
We would definitely know if anyone was trying to take over our head…..wouldn’t we?
Well….NO.
That’s because ‘they’ are already doing it.
Where we consider as an everyday person mind control can’t happen to us, it is, in fact, in operation every single day. Its just takes the form of subtly imprinted conditioning that we barely notice and continue to repeat.
We are the most brainwashed mind era ever.
The birth of rolling misinformation.
Let’s go back to the end of last Century.
Sounds ancient when it’s only 26 years ago. Hardly very historical.
In those pre-internet days information was limited generally to newspapers, news bulletins, and books. The news media then only reported actual events. What has happened as opposed to what could happen next. Speculation and guessed prediction was rare.
But then all hell broke loose.
Welcome the world wide web connecting people from one corner of the planet to another. But many of those people didn’t just want to find out about each other. They only sought to push their personal belief messages on the populus.
News of what actually took place soon began to give way to theory and conjecture and presented suggestion of events.
People of the same ilk banded together into groups that social media promoted to us to form and began their indoctrination machine roll out. And with it the internet gave birth to agendas.
Truth was out. Conspiracy, skewed observations, and fake ‘facts’ got peddled to drive personal warped takes on the world. Misinformation had started its rise to power.
And we were caught up in this. Why?
Because the regular media soon joined in!
Twenty four hour influence.
In the past we had to wait for our information.
The newspapers had to hit the shelves or when the news was on the TV schedule. Social media gave us access to 24 hour info. The type we wanted on tap. The gen from the groups and people who thought and saw life as we did.
Now we didn’t need to wait, we accessed it ‘as and when’. This gave us a steady stream of views from other people everywhere. Views, opinions, inside scoops, secrets etc all flooding our senses and getting into our head because now there was no other ‘always open’ sources available all the time.
Then the mainstream channels decided to get a piece of the action.
They wanted a slice of this new voice community that was online all the time. Welcome 24 hour news. Hard hitting, to the minute, latest and greatest headlines from all around the world. All day every day.
The brainwashing industry ramped up it’s activity.
The news media used their professional integrity and in power contacts together with the highest level of broadcast journalists to take on the amateur Facebook or Twitter brigade.
They presented slick shows with on the spot interviews with those at the heart of the current affairs. They went for the big game and threw those names back at us in sound byte after sound byte.
And we lapped it up in our droves.
After all, these are the trusted national and international news suppliers that have been operating for many decades.
They will tell us the truth as it is.
Except….they didn’t either.
Not enough news to go round.
Now the brainwashing reached sky high output.
The principal of constant news sounded sexy and successful. If it happens, in an instant it can be reported and shared. And the TV media battled to be the first to do this.
But there’s a problem. News, real important major news, just isn’t an everyday occurrence. Breaking news bombs such as natural disasters, international conflicts, or political fall outs are now and again stories.
Most days are mundane and you have a non-stop midnight to midnight requirement to air something newsworthy. What can you do?
Simple. You ask your reporters and experts to use their experience to forecast, second guess, and suggest what events mean and what they will lead to.
Classed as inside information it was merely one thing – opinion.
And opinion based on the editorial slant that news channel was aligned to. It represented less about truth, and more about the picture they wanted to paint. Not really gossip, far worse than that.
In short….propaganda.
And with it being on our screens on a permanent basis, it started to brainwash the viewers who also sat on the same side of the face or who tuned in because they liked how the show was produced.
Minds were ripe for hypnotising…and that’s where we come in!
The never ending story.
Our mindsets are easily influenced.
The more time you spend with certain people or environments (and less time elsewhere), the more you align with the thinking and behaving they have. Have you ever been told others are a bad influence on you?
It’s plain human nature. Be surrounded by something and it leeks into our own consciousness. It’s natural because it’s an inherited survival mechanism that we genetically hold from our ancient tribal days.
And it begins in our minds.
These minds get told things enough and they feel it’s real. Even if what we are told is a story which doesn’t match the truth.
Today the people we spend time with are news people and our environment is online. Here there is a never ending story of whatever interests and is curious to us. These stories captivate and pull us even further and we barely notice. With a constant supply in this location (TV, mobile phone, social media platforms) we never notice that the subtle art of brainwashing is taking place.
Within a few months you now believe the world is flat, we never landed on the moon, and that a special Illuminati rule the world.
We have so much coming at us now from all directions, it’s no longer difficult to fall under the spell.
One you are probably under somewhere now too!
Time to wash your own mind of control.
It’s time to wash your mind clean from where you spend too much time.
Regular habits can lead to limited mentality. Not to mention overinfluence.
If you dedicate much of your time to specific news programmes and social media groups you are narrowing your awareness. You are consuming a diet of only their outlook and direction on aspects of life. It’s like only eating one or two foods for every meal because someone you listen to told you it was best.
Brainwashing in this way is obvious.
The way you experience it may well not be. Unless you get perspective you will never know the damage of the drip drip into your head.
With a society over filled with news, opinion, advice, so called inside info, so called truth, and every angle possible, if you don’t keep your brain independent it will be flooded and washed away.
Cut back where you take it and what you expose it too.
Brainwashing isn’t just for cults.
Brainwashing minds is a skill of the media as well. Protect yours!
