The following article may be a tad extreme for some, but it raises some very interesting points, IMHO.
“The American people have been, and continue to be, deliberately and pre-meditatively brainwashed through the media. The word “media” is a big and somewhat nebulous term so let me be clear, the wealthy individuals who own the big media companies and the wealthy individuals who run them have conspired with some very wealth corporate owners and national politicians, the “advertisers”, to brainwash the American people. The result of this brainwashing is a huge and growing population of morons, hypocrites, sociopaths, suckers, deviants, and physically ill Americans. I know this because some of these sick people are my close life-long friends and family members.
These mental and physical conditions are dramatically exposed through a number of facts. Following is a list of some of these facts:
Over 50% of American family households have only one parent.
Over 50% of all marriages in America fail.
Cancer and heart disease are 10 times higher in U.S. than in Japan.
Life expectancy in the U.S. is ranked 24th in the world.
The U.S. education system ranks 10th in the world.
The U.S. education system has one of the highest dropout rates in the world.
The U.S. ranks below average in reading, math, and science literacy.
The U.S. ranks below average in producing college graduates.
The U.S. health system is ranked 32nd in the world.
The U.S. has one of the highest infant mortality rates in the world.
The U.S. has one of the highest obesity health problem rankings in the world.
The U.S. ranks number 1 in homicide crimes.
Over 2 million Americans live in prison putting the U.S. in the number one position in the world for incarcerations.
The U.S. has a horrible human rights record in the world.
37 million Americans currently live below the poverty line.
The U.S. ranks 10th in standard of living.
Almost 50% of Americans incorrectly believe that Saddam Hussein and Iraq had something to do with the terrorist attack on 9/11.
Over 80% of Americans believe in some ancient religious writings or dead prophets.
Almost 38% of Americans still believe that the Republicans in Congress are fiscal conservatives.
Almost 58% of American believe that getting rid of the estate tax will help our democracy and make the tax system fairer.
Over 50% of single adults claim they still have unprotected sex despite the threat of HIV-AIDS.
And this list could go on and on but these few facts point to a dumbing down of the American people. Our ignorance is the right-wing’s bliss. The less time we spend looking at the facts and the more time we spend watching some mindless T.V. program, eating some salty snack or sugary treat, or listening to some religious nonsense the greater the chances the Mafiaocracy has for success.
The best solution to this media brainwashing problem is simple: 1. TURN OFF THE TELEVISION. 2. DON’T LISTEN TO THE RADIO.
If you do watch TV stick to the commercial free channels, make sure to mute all commercials, be aware of the right-wing propaganda FOX News and other news channels are selling, and never watch any shows that use “laugh-tracks”.
Many of these “laugh-track” sitcom TV programs show unnatural sexual behavior and hurtful relationships as normal and acceptable. They often show couples being verbally abusive to one another followed by a big laugh-track. So instead of viewers being appalled, disgusted, or shocked by such horrible language or behavior we are being tricked by a laugh-track into thinking that it’s funny, or even acceptable behavior. As a result of this media manipulation people are being brainwashed into behaviors that make successful personal relationships almost impossible, and that lead people into habits that are not conducive to good health or good citizenship.
The truth is sexual promiscuity is not safe; gay sex is not natural; masturbation is not healthy or necessary; calling your spouse an “asshole” is not ok; lying to your friends, co-workers, and employers is not funny; making jokes about homeless people should not be amusing; a priest telling a loving couple to “go to hell” is not reality; consuming alcohol does not make you more attractive or smarter. And yet these are the types of things I see on these TV sitcom shows all the time, and all followed by a big laugh-track.
All the commercial advertisements between the show segments are even more dangerous because they repeat the same horrible advertisement over and over again so that your mind can’t ignore it, or forget the hidden sinister message they are conveying. These hidden messages often are telling you to eat, drink, fear, spend, and have sex.
The truth is 95% of everything on TV these days is being used against you, so turn it off and keep it off. I also recommend boycotting the big companies that do a lot of TV advertising, i.e. – Applebee’s, Quiznos, Wal-Mart, Saturn, Ford, Sprint, Chili’s, McDonalds, Taco Bell, GEICO, AFLAC, Budweiser, etc.
Following is a famous saying that applies to this media brainwashing situation: “Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.”. Don’t be a media fool, turn it off and boycott the companies, their owners, and the advertisers.”
