Of the various distinctions the ‘Baby Boomer’ generation has, perhaps the most significant is that we were the first generation to grow up with a television set in the house. The American public became familiar with television during the 1939 worlds fair; although mass production wasn’t possible until after WWII. In America, the first regular commercial TV programming began in 1948, and in many instances television became like a third parent; as an awful lot of our early impressions about the world, and how to act in it came from that magic box with the moving pictures. Back then we neither knew or cared that the impressions we got were of a make believe world that didn’t really exist, because it was an escape from a terminally boring world of conformity and growing consumerism all around us.
Just like thousands of other baby boomer children I spent many an hour glued to the television, following the exploits of Sky King, and The Lone Ranger, not to mention everything from Walt Disney. Before you knew it, TV was as American as apple pie, and there was no looking back; or questioning, we simply embraced it wholeheartedly, never dreaming it would become a primary tool used to desensitize and program us into docile consumer sheep. Many years would pass before it was revealed that even back in the early days of TV, “they” were actually embedding subliminal messages that only the subconscious mind could see. They used subliminal messages during advertisements for products to increase profits, and even in the national anthem, to increase patriotism. Even after we learned of these things, did we indignantly demand accountability? Nope, we just kept right on watching as if nothing was wrong.
I guess I never saw much wrong with television until I got my eyes opened real good during my military years. In that time I got a very good look at how the rest of the world is, and lives. I saw poverty on a scale that it boggled the mind, and everywhere I went there it was, the sharp dividing line between the haves, and the have nots, called the ghetto, slums, or barrio. They weren’t showing any coverage of that on the TV. In fact TV was a place having a lot in common with our photo albums, because a casual glance at either seemed to show happy people living a carefree existence, without the slightest hint of injustice, or tragedy. Naturally there were the established ‘rules’ governing just what could and could not be shown on TV, to protect the public…but oddly enough no rules were made protecting the public from those who would use TV as a tool for the enslavement of a population.
“Don’t you know we are being led to slaughters by placid admirals, and that fat slow generals are getting obscene on young blood. Do you know we are ruled by TV?” ~Jim Morrison – An American Prayer
By 2009 over 80% of world households had at least one TV, which was a 5% increase from 2003, and everywhere, the same formula being used, constant advertisements briefly interrupted by mind numbing pabulum to keep the masses entertained. When you stop to think about it, that’s a really amazing statistic for something to accomplish is just 55 years! Like a fast moving cancer which destroys the ability for critical thought and conscious reasoning; it continues to spread unabated as we continue to embrace it as a friend, and an escape from reality.
TV is used to sell us everything from truth, to religion, including who we ‘elect’ as president. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of the powers that be, and they use it like a weapon to disempower the masses; which is you, and me…we are the masses they hope to keep addicted to their television programming. Increasingly TV is used to push any number of social agendas, to keep us divided, and distrusting those unlike us. Slavery was never abolished, it was just expanded to include everyone, and TV is the principle tool used to achieve that desired result. You see, television happens to put humans into an alpha statewith great speed and ease, alpha state being usually related to daydreaming, light meditation, and sleep. When the mind is in the alpha state its simply more open and susceptible to suggestion, which makes one an ideal target for advertising and subliminal messages. While many viewers are well aware of these things, and make efforts to block or at least mute TV commercials, alas everything broadcast on your TV is suspect for dirty tricks, not just the commercials; and the vast majority of folks just let commercials play out anyway, thinking they are ignoring them.
