The Formation of Attitudes and Programming, and Its Erasure part 6

* Any opposing faction to those wanting to instill this
negative programming must become negligible, or in any case cease to
be vocal.
If opposition to an agenda cannot be silenced then it must be bought
out or infiltrated so as to water down its message, for information
itself becomes propaganda. In other words, wherever propaganda appears
there follows an inextricable confusion in the minds of the mass
between what is propaganda and what is information. You will notice
amongst conspiracy groups, UFO groups, New Age groups, and even health
groups and other such places, there is so much information, much of it
contradictory in nature, that people not in connection with their own
inner Guidance don't know what to believe. This means they are always
seeking something more, just like a diet-junkie always seeks for a new
way to lose weight not knowing there are other factors involved.
In the early 1980s and even before, when the environmental movement
was truly becoming a power to contend with, large corporations began
heavily donating to these causes and supplanting the leadership of the
various groups with their own people. The same happened with the
'peace' movement. In reality, to distinguish between propaganda and
information is virtually impossible without solid spiritual Guidance,
and even more so now with the World Wide Web. Homogenization of
thought is preferable, and so we get the various political parties all
sounding alike, channeling the same message with slightly different
spins, or even worse, sitting on the fence so that no message is even
given at all. Those who are `undecided', the seekers, constitute the
most fertile public for the propagandist and darkside programmers.
To flood people with so much information they just don't know what to
believe or do not have the necessary foundation to assimilate and
process it all is the most effective way to shut down any true
understanding of what's taking place in the world. School does this to
its students, giving them more and more information and less and less
of the foundation necessary to understand and process it.
* Amusements, distractions, or games can all be instruments of
propaganda used to take the individual's focus off what is true.
One of the greatest distractions is work. Work has assumed an all-
pervading role in modern society. Never have men worked so much as
they do today, and even entertainment now has become a form of work
where one does not relax but must put all their attention on something
in order to be entertained. The intensity of work has increased making
it weigh much more heavily on people today than on those in the past.
Such dedication to work does not happen by itself or spontaneously.
Its creation is properly the task of propaganda. Have you not noticed
that everywhere you go now there are less people doing more and more
work while customers are resigned to wait in long cues, in training to
be the submissive sheeple the NWO wants us all to be?
Are not video games becoming the major ways our children are being
indoctrinated into the cycle of violence that the darkside has always
programmed to exist in our minds and in our hearts? The only purpose
for this is to serve the military aspirations of our governments, to
keep the young focused on war and on being cannon fodder so they will
not question what is taking place in the world, nor do anything about
it. Are not television and the internet now becoming the major ways
in which so many kids and even adults are programmed in their ways of
viewing women and relationships? Many television channels have become
literally primers on how to kill or hurt women in every way possible,
while the internet seems like it was created specifically for ways of
satisfying one's self without any type of intimacy.

* Direct propaganda aimed at modifying opinions and attitudes
must first be preceded by propaganda that is sociological in its
nature --slow, general propaganda seeking to create a climate, an
atmosphere of favorable preliminary attitudes.
Abrupt changes in policy should never be allowed, for always the
ground must first be prepared for the changes in attitudes the
predominating agenda wants instilled. Propaganda must be continuous
and long lasting--continuous in that it must not leave any gaps, but
must fill the citizen's whole day and all his days. It must become a
reality like the world in the movie, The Truman Show--all day, in all
ways--that it might function over a very long period of time.
Continuous propaganda exceeds the individual's capacities for
attention or adaptation and thus his capabilities of resistance. As
any member of the Mormon Church or any cult member will attest, this
is the way they have become so trapped into obedience. Much like a new
military recruit, they are never allowed the time to rest or to think,
their personal will for control is worn down and the organization's
will is slowly allowed to take over. Our true history shows us just
how long ago this programming of Mankind began, and so, like the
'creator' of the Truman Show says in the movie, "we accept the reality
we're born into". From the cradle to the grave the propaganda of the
Matrix is 24/7 forced upon us through every means possible, and as
Morpheus says in The Matrix, it becomes that our prison does not need
prison guards for it is the other prisoners who will keep those in
line who wish to revolt.
* Once the purpose of propaganda was thought to be the
modification of ideas, but that is no longer true. The aim of modern
propaganda is no longer to modify ideas, but to provoke action.
Propaganda is no longer to change adherence to a doctrine, but to make
the individual cling irrationally to a process of action.
Only action is now of concern to modern propaganda, for its ultimate
aim is to precipitate an individual's action with maximum
effectiveness and economy--getting people to do whatever you want them
to do. All great modern practitioners of propaganda have rigorously
tied together psychological and physical action as inseparable
elements. And it is propaganda which seeks to point out the correct
courses of action desirable in themselves, such as seemingly helpful
reforms that are really only tools to further enslave the population.
Propaganda then becomes this mixture of the actual satisfaction given
to the people by the reforms as well as the subsequent exploitation of
that satisfaction. Most of what we do that we think is helping society
is simply a placebo to make us think we are contributing.
* Prepatory propaganda is necessary for it is the stage of
preparing the ground for the planting and cultivation of the seed that
the real propaganda then instills.
Preparation begins by psychological manipulations, by character
modifications, by the creation of feelings or stereotypes useful when
the time comes. This type of preparation must be continuous, slow, and
imperceptible. The idea of enemies must be gradually built up so that
the concept can be used to create a feeling of dependence when the
time is right. The long process of the unfolding global conspiracy has
helped people grow used to the reality of the new global economy.
Those behind the politicians have created fictional enemies from co-
conspirators so that their people cry, `Save us from the Russians!
Save us from the Chinese! Save us from the terrorists!' And when the
time comes and the need is there, whether imagined or not, it will be,
`Save us from the aliens!'
It was Hitler's belief that racial awareness would come through a
process of mobilizing the masses with propaganda that appealed to
their feelings, not to their reason, arousing their hatred for all
other allegedly inferior races, especially the Jews.

* Opinion leaves the individual a mere spectator who may
eventually, but not necessarily, resort to action. The idea of
participation is much stronger, and passive participation is the most
desirable, the herd mentality stampeding towards some desired reaction
to a given stimuli.
To be effective, propaganda must completely short-circuit all thought
and decision. It must operate on the individual at a level of the
unconscious - the gut reaction if you will. When someone shouts Death
to the Jews! Or Death to the Christians! or Death to those who are
different in any way, shape or form! then everyone else must join in
without hesitation or any thought given to the reality and
consequences of the statement. Propaganda seeks to induce this type of
action, adherence, and participation--with as little thought as
possible. The individual must not know that he is being shaped by
outside forces. This unconscious factor is evident for people get very
mad if you suggest that they are being influenced or manipulated by
anyone or anything except their own free will. It is the 'America love
it or leave it' syndrome where no thought or favor given to the idea
of lets fix it. Only two options must be given, the Hegelian
philosophy of either 'this way or that way', 'my way or the highway'.
That is why society is now moving very quickly to where there are only
two major choices for anything we do, any thing we want to buy, and
any type of store we want to shop at.
The acceptance of a conspiracy is, in and of itself, a chink in that
armor that people put on which allows them to think that they are
masters of their own minds and of their own lives. Therefore it is
unacceptable, even laughable, to most people.
Advertising exists as the spreading of a certain style of life, but it
is almost entirely dependent on this armor to deflect reality in order
to achieve its continued success. It is imperative for the individual
to think that he or she still has free will and is making the choice
to act for the advertising to be effective.

* Two great routes that sub-propaganda takes are the
conditioned reflex and the myth.
Propaganda tries first of all to create conditioned reflexes in the
individual by training the individual so that certain words, signs, or
symbols, and even certain persons or facts, provoke unfailing
reactions. The use of symbols and symbolic language has been a central
theme of my work on spirituality and the conspiracy known as the New
World Order up till now.
By "myth" it is meant that which is an all-encompassing, activating
image; a vision of desirable objectives that have lost their material,
practical character and have become strongly colored, overwhelming,
all-encompassing, that which displaces from the conscious all that is
not related to it. This is where archetypes in the movies come in,
creating the mythical or archetypal love, the mythical or archetypal
man or woman, the mythical or archetypal ending of good over evil, and
in not just one, but in many different flavors to suit every kind of
taste. Such an image pushes an individual to action precisely because
it includes all that he feels is good, just, and true.
Only when conditioned reflexes have been created in a man and he lives
in a collective myth can he be readily mobilized. This common myth is
the matrix so commonly used now to describe our situation. Just as the
archetypes are continually rehashed or renewed in movies, on
television, or in books, so too must the myth and the reflex be
continually rejuvenated and revived in children or they will atrophy.
As we shall see further when we progress into the realms of modern
Freemasonry and Mormonism, the manipulation of symbols is a driving
force in creating the desired action within new initiates and new
converts to any major religion or fraternal organization. The Nazis
were, of course, past masters of this manipulation of symbols for it
is symbolism that persuades the individual to enter the framework of
an organization--the feel of the thing--"I like the way it feels..."
Secondly, it also furnishes him with reasons, justifications, and
motivations for the action--the thought of the thing. And lastly, it
obtains his total allegiance--the creation of the thing.
Myths
The common presuppositions of man's aim in life are 1) happiness, 2)
that man is naturally good, 3) that history develops in endless
progression, 4) that civilization is always progressing, and 5) that
everything is matter.
The two great fundamental myths on which all other myths rest are
Science and History.
Based on them are the collective myths that are man's principal
orientations: the myth of Work, the myth of Happiness, the myth of
Nation, the myth of Youth, the myth of the Hero, and more recently the
myth of Family.
Because of the myth of progress, it is much easier to sell a man an
electric razor than a straight-edged one. Propaganda not only reflects
myths and presuppositions, it hardens them, sharpens them, and inverts
them with the power of shock and action. What remains with the
individual affected by this propaganda is a perfectly irrational
picture, a purely emotional feeling, a myth. The individual will never
again begin to act simply on the basis of facts. What makes him act is
the emotional pressure, the vision of a future, the myth. A person
listens to a particular propaganda because it reflects his deepest
unconscious convictions without expressing them directly.
Programming and propaganda are forced to build on these
presuppositions and to express these myths, for without them nobody
would listen to it. They must constantly evoke the future as the
politicians are want to do, the tomorrows that beckon, precisely
because such visions impel the individual to act. Propaganda will turn
a normal feeling of patriotism into a raging nationalism where people
will actually go out and kill others for a scrap of paper, for the
idea of country even though the country itself is not in realistic
danger. And, in doing so, the propagandist must try to find the
optimal degree of anxiety and tension, for anxiety is perhaps the most
widespread psychological trait in our society. It is only propaganda
that can put man into a state of nervous endurance that will permit
him to even face the unimaginable tension of war.

* Along the way, propaganda must not involve itself with what
is best in man or best for man--the highest goals humanity sets for
itself, its noblest and most precious feelings.
Propaganda does not aim to elevate man, but rather to make him serve.
It must therefore utilize the most common feelings, the most
widespread ideas, the crudest patterns, the lowest common
denominators, and in doing so place itself on a very low level with
regard to what it wants man to do and to what end. Hate, hunger,
desire, ego and pride make better motivators in propaganda than do
love and impartiality.
If our education system still seems not to function effectively even
after hundreds of years of `innovation' and effort, it is for exactly
this reason, for the education system is still one of the main
supports for the propaganda system. It instills peer pressure as a
prime motivator in all of us.
The education system is the place where history and the structure of
society has, until the recent addition of television as a baby-sitter,
been first encountered and taught. Schools are the place where human
interaction is first ingrained and copied by the young child. Schools
must tacitly support individualism while in truth supporting the peer
group pressure and the need to conform. As with all things, this does
not mean there are not well-meaning and even effective schools or
teachers out there in the system, but for the most part, schools and
teachers are either conscious or unconscious participants in the
entire system of preparing man for his own deep servitude to this same
old New World Order and the Matrix it creates.
The inability in man to consider several facts or events
simultaneously, nor to make a synthesis of them in order to face or
oppose them, has been cultivated in man through past propaganda and
conditioning.
One thought drives away another, old facts are chased by new ones, new
news replaces old news. Under these kinds of conditions there can be
no thought. In fact, modern man does not think about current problems;
he feels them. He reacts, but he does not understand them any more
than he takes responsibility for them. Problems are made simple by
propaganda.
It was Joseph Goebbels, Hitler`s minister of propaganda, who wrote,
"By simplifying the thoughts of the masses and reducing them to
primitive patterns, propaganda was able to present the complex process
of political and economic life in the simplest terms . . . We have
taken matters previously available only to experts and a small number
of specialists, and have carried them into the street and hammered
them into the brain of the little man."
Man is even less capable of spotting any inconsistency between
successive facts because man's capacity to forget is unlimited.
