The Formation of Attitudes and Programming, and Its Erasure part 1
by Peter Farley www.4truthseekers.org
Very few people have spent sufficient time in their lives to come up
with their own system of beliefs and understandings for and about
life. Instead we are programmed from our very births to take in what
our parents, our teachers, our friends, and our society think we
should believe and do and think and say and act upon. Until someone
asks us a direct question we rarely have even thought about so many
issues or what it is we 'think' we believe, let alone formatted those
beliefs into a coherent system that we can say is ours and that we
have thought about and refined down to a philosophy of life.
In Volume 4 of Where Were You Before The Tree of Life? the subject of
how our attitudes are formed through exposure to so much propaganda in
our lives is dealt with in some depth before then revealing how it is
that our politicians, religions and organizations such as the
Freemasons use these methods to control our every thought and action.
Here is an excerpt from that volume:
"Let's hold a mirror up here to ourselves and take a look at the art
of propaganda to see how far we have helped this grand conspiracy to
keep us locked into the prison camp called the Matrix through our own
actions and reactions for propaganda truly is the art of understanding
Man and how his attitudes are formed.
"Jacques Ellul says that propaganda ceases when simple dialogue begins
- not just speech, but dialogue between two people on a meaningful
level. If people can be kept from talking about relevant issues and
are instead kept entertained, much as they are in the world today,
then there is no room for meaningful dialogue and almost no need for
propaganda at all.
"In propaganda, the individual is never taken as an individual but
rather in terms of what he as the individual has in common with others--
emotionalism, impulsiveness, excess, hopes and dreams etc. All these
characteristics of the individual caught up in a mass are well known
to the propagandist and are utilized by those who act as the 'go-
betweens', the news announcer, the teachers, the politicians, the
priests and even the families, all with the purpose of drawing the
individual within the mass further into what it is they want him to
believe, keeping him or her a docile servant of the Matrix.
"These intermediaries are not usually speaking in their own names with
their own arguments but rather are simply a small segment of an
administration, an organization, a collective movement, an accepting
or supporting part of the grander Matrix in which they are an integral
piece of circuitry. Though the people in these roles or professions
are a part of the process, they must never allow themselves to buy
fully into believing the propaganda they espouse. They must always
remain outside the message in order to be free to lure others in.
"This part of the indoctrination process can be seen in higher
education in the fields where students are helped to realize the
problems inherent in their fields of study, and yet keep progressing
deeper and deeper into it until they themselves are invested totally
into the system and cannot leave for fear of losing everything, even
their very own souls. I found this myself in teaching journalism,
itself the art and basis of propaganda. It is only those who most
fully understand the `evil' intent of these fields of study who do not
go forward with them but rather drop out to pursue another career.
Thus it is a self-regulating process by which only those who know
their purpose and the true intent of their field of study, but are
willingly or unwittingly ready to go forward with it, who remain to
fill the vacancies. These are people who think and believe they are
`helping people'. Watching the movie "The Insider' last night brought
home this idea of bowing to the pressures of the inherent or non-
expressed paradigm in any corporation or field of study -- the 'don't
rock the boat if you want to keep your job' syndrome.

As the propaganda message or programming flows through these
intermediaries it must always give the impression of being directed at
the individual, at the personal level of existence. It must never be
forgotten that the mass is composed of individuals and is in fact
nothing but a group of assembled individuals, even though none of us
really like to admit to following the 'pack or herd' mentality. This
is the act of fragmentation - the splitting of the wave of Light that
we can be acting in unity into its individual particles or fragmented
state where we all feel helpless to do anything about our own
situations let alone the grander scheme of things. This fragmentation
makes us feel almost totally ineffective to do anything about
anything as we feel so overwhelmed by what is being presented to us
through the media and the messages handed down to us through all these
various sources. It is making us all forget that we are truly just a
small but powerful ingredient in the one entity known as Soul.
We see this kind of fragmentation taking place in every aspect of our
lives today under the guise of catering to our `individuality'. The
more deeply involved in the mass people are, the more they pretend to
be "strong individuals". This is reverse psychology at its most
insidious - the coward boasting or playing at being macho. The
propagandist is appealing here to the strongest desire we have, that
within our cell memory which longs to once again feel the connection
to the Oneness of Soul along with all the other pieces, which in truth
are all around us in our fellow 'human beings' if we just reached out
and remained open to the flows of energy that exist between us all. It
is the darkside's greatest strength to keep us all feeling isolated
from both ourselves and our Higher Self, and from all those around us
who are also feeling `alone'.
All modern propaganda and those who wish us to be so deeply programmed
profit from the structure of the mass, for it is in the mass that one
can exploit the individual's need for self-affirmation--individually
and as a part of the group. This is the situation known in the
business as the "lonely crowd." It is when the individual is alone in
the mass that it is the most favorable time to seize and influence
him, to program him with the accepted paradigm. The bigger the mass,
the lonelier he feels, the better and easier it is to ensnare him.
Population growth is therefore allowed and even covertly rewarded for
multiplying as we can see today in the rewards offered by a welfare or
'big brother' state to those who have the most children. Driving
people off the land and into the city only increases the size of the
mass and increases the loneliness in all of us. It concentrates the
population in larger groups to add to the effectiveness and minimize
the effort needed to control all. Have you ever met a lonely farmer or
person of the land?

Going back to the brief lesson in quantum physics, for propaganda to
be truly effective psychologically and sociologically, a combination
of demographic phenomena is required.
· The first is population density, with a high frequency of
diversified human contacts, exchanges of opinions, and experiences,
and with primary importance placed on the feeling of togetherness--thus
the importance placed on the commonality of the network news
experience. The feeling of wanting to be a part of something, the
togetherness feeling, keeps us from wanting to do anything that would
place us outside this feeling at home with other people. This is why
peer pressure is subtly promoted at every level of school even though
the powers that be would say they are actually fighting to diminish
its effects.
· The second is urban concentration, which, resulting from the fusion
between mass and crowd, gives the mass its psychological and
sociological character. Propaganda addresses itself to the individual
but acts on the masses. Do you ever wonder why people leave their
homes across the world simply to come to another place where they then
band together with people exactly like them from their own homeland?
In the Eastern United States to ask someone where they come from means
where is their family's ethnic place of origin, which country -
Italian, Russian, Greek, or maybe Jewish and from what part of the
world? People of the same ethnic background have the same 'hooks' that
draw them into social programming, and these various subtleties must
be and are known to those who wish to manipulate them as a group.
Propaganda is a true remedy for loneliness. It has practically no
effect however on individuals before that group, that mass, has been
fragmented. Thus it is that we get the races warring, the sexes
fighting, the TV-viewing audience segmented, using not one but all of
the media at hand. Leaders are built up in minorities who will further
their minority group's attitudes and policies of dissension and
separation--Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the KKK, the Jewish extremists,
etc.,
The Formation of Attitudes and Programming, and Its Erasure part 4
· A big part of the power of propaganda is due to its use of
the mass media.
This power can, however, be dissipated if these intermediary people
rely on old power words or symbols that have lost their force. Much of
my work and the millions of words I write have as their essential
basis the power of words and symbols and how they can be used either
for or against humanity in this war against the New World Order.
Power words and symbols need to constantly be upgraded and everything
the appearance of being `new' and 'fresh'. That is why we constantly
see company logos beings given upgrades, and new slogans created, and
always the ubiquitous 'new and improved' on just about any product we
use. Words such as collaborator, Bolshevik, fascist, integration,
peace, no longer have any meaning--tragic, devastating, catastrophe,
victim, terrorist, white supremacist, attack--these are the new catch-
phrases which conjure up strong emotional associations and get the
listener involved. There is no better time to hear these new catch-
phrases introduced and proliferated than during a presidential
campaign such as we now have going on.
And it is only through the concentration of a large number of media in
the hands of the power machine as we see occurring in the world today
that one can attain a true orchestration, a continuity and
consistency, an application of scientific methods of influencing
individuals. Whether it is a state-owned monopoly or a private
monopoly such as we have in the United States (media concentrated in
fewer and fewer hands), either is equally just as effective. When Bill
Gates, founder and CEO of Microsoft, says that it is Rupert Murdoch,
CEO of News Corporation - Media & Entertainment Company, who is the
most powerful man in the world, it is exactly for this very reason--the
concentration of media in the hands of a few - and therefore the
greater the ability to influence others. While traveling across
country by car it is no accident that one keeps hearing the same 20 or
so songs as one travels from county to county, from state to state,
since all are now owned and programmed from one central location. The
power the New World Order has over us is only made obvious when one
compares what one is experiencing with others in other locations such
as this long-distance travel affords.
It is also important that there be a variety of newspapers or
magazines or radio stations or TV channels for the consumer, for the
reader or viewer or listener will only buy a newspaper or magazine or
watch or listen to a station or channel he likes, one where he finds
his own ideas and opinions well-reflected. This is the same with the
various products on any grocery shelf, all promising differences but
all made by the same company, most probably with the same ingredients -
just a different label and advertising campaign, just another means by
which to further segment us all.

· Propaganda must relate solely to what is timely in order to
be effective in instilling the necessary or required programming.
The fundamental currents of society must be reflected in the news that
is utilized by propaganda. Propaganda can succeed only when man feels
challenged or afraid. It can have no influence when the individual
feels stable and unafraid . Keeping society and the individual off
balance is the purpose of the media and of the news in particular. The
public is prodigiously sensitive to current news. Its attention is
focused immediately on any spectacular event that fits in with its
myths--news such as the O.J. Simpson trial, and sex in the presidency,
the disappearance of Natalie Holloway--the myths that Justice is
unfair, and that all politicians are corrupt, that it's a dangerous
world out there so be afraid. News loses its frightening character
when it offers information for which the listener already has a ready
explanation in his mind, or for which he can easily find one. Thus we
get the emphasis placed on the "tragedy" and "the senseless killing,"
the seemingly random acts of violence and the unexplainable actions of
people in the news. The school shootings at Columbine High School in
Colorado are a prime example of a destabilizing incident created by
those in power to keep society off-balance. That is also why talk
shows dealing with this conspiracy tend to bring in guests who only
leave the listener with more questions than answers.
· Public opinion always rests on problems that do not
correspond to reality - to what can easily be termed 'Matrix
thinking'.
Since the government cannot follow public opinion, public opinion must
be made to follow the government. This is the case of `the tail
wagging the dog' [and a good movie to watch to understand this is 'Wag
the Dog' with Dustin Hoffman and Robert De Niro]. In the United
States, the government almost always conducts its foreign policies on
its own initiative, but where the public is interested in a particular
question, it can only proceed with the support of a substantial
majority of the people, either real or apparent. That is why
manipulated public opinion polls have now become the norm. At least
one or two public opinion polls are released supporting any idea the
government wants us to think or feel, or any agenda they wish to push
through.
Governmental propaganda in collusion with the mass media therefore
suggests that public opinion demand this or that decision. The
majority prefers expressing stupidities to not expressing any opinion
at all, as proved by Tonight Show `man in the street' interviews, and
any myriad number of radio talk-back shows.
· A government does not feel legitimate and cannot claim to be
so unless it rests on the sovereignty of the people, unless it can
prove that it expresses the will of the people, even though this very
same will is manufactured through government manipulation and the use
of propaganda.
Because of this mythical belief in the sovereignty of the people, all
dictators, even those supposedly elected by the majority, try to
demonstrate that they are the expression of the people's sovereignty.
Therefore, we can hardly complain when modern dictators and even
today's politicians talk about the sovereignty of the people. Castro
called the whole population to sit in judgment of the former regime in
Cuba. By doing so, he tied the people to his government by the
strangest of bonds--the ritual crime--the tie that binds the initiated
to the organization as seen in many secret organizations even down to
the level of the street-gang or college campus sorority and
fraternity.
