Mind Manipulation in the Age of Disinformation

The media and that especially includes social media like anything else have always been subject to misuse and the rate at which this misuse of media has suddenly increased is alarming and as dangerous to the human race as weapons of mass destruction WOMD With the latest semantic technologies media need to be added to the class of WOMDNot to be an alarmist and despite my evidence being inductive rather than definitive I see it as my duty to report what appears to be a pattern with the fingerprints of a sinister mind bending planned and executed attackWe all thought we were done with Cambridge Analytica the covertly mindmanipulating semantics researchers who were first caught at malevolent tampering with human minds via modern media They were dabbling in affecting political situations in Europe and America including Brexit We shut them down and thought that chapter was over But noThey were only a small fraction of the ocean of the attacking armiesThe people who are behind the splitting of America whoever they really are are simply using the same Cambridge Analytica tactics but with a lot more money behind them What is my evidence a The powerful impact b The classical themes used by dictators for millenniaThe Big LieScapegoatingCode WordsIdentifying with The Bible vs the AntiBibleIdentifying with The Individual vs The CollectiveRageHatredThe Bible and the Individual are preemptive strikes Since everyone would claim to be on the side of the individual and on the side of the Bibleamp8230 quotbefore the enemy thinks of it quick let39s stake our exclusive claim on that and paint 39them39 as being anti these thingsquotWhen it walks like a duck etc it isamp160a duck These are the same types of advanced propaganda technologists as Cambridge Analytica Consider this a wakeup callI do not mean that quotthe Republicansquot are doing this The mass of Republicans would never do a thing like this The mass of people who are being manipulated will hopefully come out of it realizing a better way of being and regretting their actions A very small number of people are doing this and we ought not to make assumptionsamp160on such enormous mattersamp160as to who exactly they areThey could be people who run both the Proud Boys and the Antifa for all we knowamp160They might have no direct connection with the US Republican partyWe need to recognize the strong probability that we are under attack so that there is the right kind of investigationAn article to which the Associated Press and Reuters both contributedamp160appeared in The Guardian on December 13 2020 reporting on fighting in the streets of the nation39s capital and in numerous states set off by Trump supporters demonstratingBrief quotes from that articleMichael Flynn who twice pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about contacts with the former Russian ambassador spoke in his first public address since Trump pardoned him in November The US constitution is quotnot about collective liberty it is about individual liberties and they designed it that wayquotamp160he saidIn his speech Flynn told the protesters they were all standing inside Jericho after breaching its wallsRon Hazard of Morristown New Jersey was one of five people who stopped at the justice department to blow shofars amp160a ram39s horn used in Jewish religious ceremonies amp160to bring down quotthe spiritual walls of corruptionquotquotWe believe what is going on in this country is an important thing It39s a balance between biblical values and antibiblical valuesquot Hazard saidDo you recognize that this is show business It ought to be familiar to all MediaVillage readersRobert Anton Heinlein the science fiction master in 1949 published a novel titledamp160Sixth Column which demonstrates how patriots imitate a religion in order to overthrow the tyranny established over America by a foreign power John Campbell was the idea man and RAH did it for John It39s all about semantics Heinlein predicted many things including that semantics would become extremely powerful as technologizedSemantic technologies are very powerful whether used for good or for stealingBy the way we find no empirical basis for the claim that Trump supporters are more oriented to the Bible than nonTrump supporters For example this Simmons psychographic study of 5000 respondents randomly reinterviewed from the 25000 Simmons 2017 study shows that two of the three groups that most support the Bible were in 2017 if anything skewed away from supporting Trump with Christians split equally for vs against The same source shows that Liberty is almost equally motivating to Trump supporters and to Trump nonsupportersResist the red herring they planned that the Republicans would get all the blame Mere dupes the minority who got infected and the majority who stick with Trump and the party only out of loyalty and can39t wait for this to be over like the rest of usToo bad the infection rate was a multiple of COVID19We have to bring our brothers and sisters back Dynata data suggest only 95 of us have caught the mind COVID quotQAnonquot that an unknown group is digicastingAnger and hate only playamp160into their hands They planned for us to fight brother against sister and we have to gain the better of ourselves before we can find and deal with the true culpritsFirst we have to agree to the premise that this is actually being caused by advanced semanticists Right now all I have is circumstantial evidence But I could not remain silent with itClick the social buttons to share this
