Mind Control through Tv and the Children {Documentary}
The greatest form of control is when you think you're free when you're being fundamentally manipulated and dictated to. One form of dictatorship is being in a prison cell and you can see the bars and touch them. The other one is sitting in a prison cell but you can't see the bars but you think you're free.
What the human race is suffering from is mass hypnosis. We are being hypnotized by people like this: newsreaders, politicians, teachers, lecturers. We are in a country and in a world that is being run by unbelievably sick people. The chasm between what we're told is going on and what is really going on is absolutely enormous.
Chemical Spill Crooks-FREEDOM INDUSTRIES
http://online.wsj.com/
Executive Paid $20 Million for Freedom Industries
Freedom's President Testifies Chemstream Holdings Bought Company Last Month
CHARLESTON, W.Va.—A company controlled by a Pennsylvania coal-mining executive paid $20 million last month to acquire Freedom Industries Inc., the firm at the center of a chemical spill that authorities said tainted the water supply for 300,000 people, Freedom's president testified here Tuesday.
Gary Southern said in a hearing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court that Chemstream Holdings Inc., controlled by J. Clifford Forrest, closed the deal on Dec. 6 and hired him as president of Freedom.
A little more than a month later, on Jan. 9, authorities said about 7,500 gallons of a coal-processing substance called Crude MCHM leaked from a tank at a Freedom storage facility, breached a faulty containment wall and spilled into the Elk River. The chemical infiltrated a nearby water treatment plant, contaminating the supply for as many as nine days.
Mr. Forrest is the president of Rosebud Mining Co., based in Kittanning, Pa., and the 20th largest U.S. coal company by production in 2012, according to the National Mining Association. He didn't respond to requests for comment.
Mr. Southern's testimony, along with that of company CFO Terry Cline, offered the most detailed look yet at the structure and finances of the closely-held Freedom. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Friday amid a host of lawsuits stemming from the chemical spill.
Mr. Cline said the former principals—co-founder Dennis Farrell and William Tis of West Virginia and Charles Herzing of Pennsylvania—each held a one-third share in the company and received $300,000 to $400,000 annually from it and the storage facility, which they operated separately. The businesses together cleared about $2 million in profits a year, Mr. Southern said.
Mr. Southern said, before he became president, he was a financial consultant for Freedom Industries for three years. He said the former owners were paid $15 million up front in the sale and were to get the remaining $5 million over three years.
A lawyer representing Messrs. Tis and Herzing declined to comment on the case Tuesday afternoon. A lawyer for Mr. Farrell didn't respond to requests for comment.

Sunday Talk Shows: Snowden Is A Russian Agent
via lucas2012infos
This is how media propaganda is done. Outlets that are supposed to be coming to their own conclusions present the same story, as one united front.
“Everybody ready? Got your lines straight? We all agree? Both sides of the aisle? Okay, go!”
In this case, the occasion was the Sunday network news-talk shows, and the target was Edward Snowden.
The shows followed on the heels of Obama’s Friday speech, in which the President defended the NSA and its “necessary actions.”
To bolster that message, the Sundays shows hit Snowden hard.
The specter of Russia was rolled out. Both Democratic and Republican legislators had their ducks in a row. They did innuendo, suggestion, “expert” inference.
Republican Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, appeared on Face the Nation (CBS) and Meet the Press (NBC).
Rogers: “Let me just say this, I believe there’s a reason he ended up in the hands, the loving arms, of an FSB agent in Moscow. I don’t think that’s a coincidence…I think there are some interesting questions we have to answer that certainly would lend one to believe that the Russians had at least in some part something to do [with Snowden's theft of NSA files].”
Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein, appearing on Meet the Press, remarked that Snowden “may well have had help” from Russia.
Republican Michael McCaul, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, showed up on ABC’s This Week: “I personally believe that he [Snowden] was cultivated by a foreign power to do what he did. I don’t think …Mr. Snowden woke up one day and had the wherewithal to do this all by himself…I believe he was cultivated.”
The Snowden-Russia media push just happened to occur on all three major network Sunday shows, and it just happened to be suggested by two Republicans and one Democrat.
And it just happened to occur two days after Obama basically defended the work of the NSA and the Surveillance State.
You can also factor in two suicide bombings in Volgograd, a video that threatens terror attacks at the upcoming Olympics in Sochi, and a hunt on in Russia for a woman (terrorist) with a scar on her face.
Perfect timing to roll out a Snowden-Russia connection.
The motive is clear: protect the US Surveillance State, assure the public its work is necessary to national security, and deflect criticism of the NSA.
At the same time, the State must keep trying to convince the American people that the portrait of Snowden as a lone patriot is false.
Propaganda is a battle between competing images and messages.
“No, that image is false. This image is true.”
If tomorrow, for reasons of protecting special interests and official agendas, Snowden needed to be painted as a mentally ill Tea-Party gun freak, or a homophobic green dragon with vampire fangs, there would be a gaggle of politicians and think-tank pundits ready to step forward and make the accusations, with great assurance.

Scientist Exposes Flu Shots Lies And Doom-And-Gloom Media Propaganda
via http://lucas2012infos.wordpress.com/
(NaturalNews) The mainstream media has utterly abandoned science in the push for more flu shot propaganda, entirely failing to mention any of the risks associated with vaccines. According to nearly every story published in the mainstream media, flu shot vaccines offer almost certain protection against the flu while carrying absolute zero risk (risk is never mentioned).
Such a position is utterly anti-scientific. All medical interventions carry inherent risk, and this is especially so when vaccines admittedly contain mercury, MSG, formaldehyde and aluminum, all potent neurotoxic chemicals or heavy metals.
This is why vaccines routinely cause seizures in children, fevers, vomiting, comas and even death. The risk of this becoming known to the public is so great that a private, unconstitutional court called the “vaccine court” was established in order to pay off parents of vaccine-damaged children while requiring them to sign non-disclosure agreements to force them into silence. (Click here to see the astonishing video revealing this.)
Media stories that don’t mention flu shot risks are irresponsible and may cause harm to the public
Any media source that publishes an article pushing flu shots without offering a reasonable discussion of the inherent risk from doing so is acting in a highly irresponsible manner, potentially putting millions of children in harm’s way. Yet mainstream media journalists routinely fail to discuss any risks whatsoever of vaccines, almost as if such risks did not exist.
These journalists are either scientifically illiterate and not aware of such risks, or they are actively deciding to censor such discussions from their stories, thereby conspiring with the vaccine industry to keep the public ignorant of a medical intervention which may cause them serious harm or death. Such actions are highly unethical and smack of a complete lack of journalistic professionalism.

President Barack Obama said he had "no doubt that there’s some folks who just really dislike me because they don’t like the idea of a black president."
Really?
On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin urged President Barack Obama to stop playing the race card to divide America.
"Mr. President, in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. and all who commit to ending any racial divide, no more playing the race card," Palin said in a Monday Facebook post.
Palin also quoted King's immortal words from his "I Have a Dream" speech: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
In a recent series of interviews with The New Yorker magazine, published on Sunday, President Barack Obama said he had "no doubt that there’s some folks who just really dislike me because they don’t like the idea of a black president."
He added, “Now, the flip side of it is there are some black folks and maybe some white folks who really like me and give me the benefit of the doubt precisely because I’m a black president."

Countering the fear-porn of Chemtrails-Propaganda piece
Given that we, as a society are lead and mislead and misdirected through manipulating our fears, Chemtrails are a leading contender of the list of misdirections within the “truth” movement as a whole, objectivity is required to interpret the information without fear.
It all started in 1996 when the military released a document called “Owning The Weather”
csat.au.af.mil/2025/volume3/vol3ch15.pdf
Two years later the psy-op disinformation campaign had begun… Given that a person has no idea what is going on all they have to do is come up with another assumption on why it’s being done… Rather than actually figure it out… If it was being done in the first place… right? Who is “Deep Sky”
text -
“Thomas called his contact “Deep Sky.” Deep Sky confirmed that the chemicals being spread in the exercises were acting as electrolytes, enhancing conductivity of radar and radio waves. Additionally, the spread of the material was actually degrading, not enhancing, ATC radars – so there had to be some other purpose behind the sprayings. It is significant that many of the exercises were conducted out of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, in Ohio, which, according to Thomas, “has long been deeply engaged in HAARP’s electromagnetic warfare program.””

How Mainstream Media Deceives You with Its Magic Tricks
If you are happy with how the world works and like to think that everything that you have learned throughout your life is true, this article is probably not for you. It is probably best that you stop reading this article because you will most likely be offended. However, if you want to free your mind and find answers to why the world is such a mess, it would be a good idea to continue reading. On the other hand, if you are a truth seeker, a person who seeks for the truth with little fear of the unknown, then this article should be of great interest to you.
Mainstream media in the US and most European countries usually contain roughly 25 percent truths and 75 percent distorted information and lies. The percentage of truths and lies will vary depending on the subject that is being covered. As for the media in other countries, the truths and lies will vary depending on how control their countries are.
Most people in the US do not realize that their mainstream media outlets are owned and controlled by only six corporations. Below are two paragraphs extracted from TheEconomicCollapseBlog.com.

Most people in the US do not realize that their mainstream media outlets are owned and controlled by only six corporations. Below are two paragraphs extracted from TheEconomicCollapseBlog.com.
Back in 1983, approximately 50 corporations controlled the vast majority of all news media in the United States. Today, ownership of the news media has been concentrated in the hands of just six incredibly powerful media corporations. These corporate behemoths control most of what we watch, hear and read every single day. They own television networks, cable channels, movie studios, newspapers, magazines, publishing houses, music labels and even many of our favorite websites.
The six corporations that collectively control US media today are Time Warner, Walt Disney, Viacom, Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp., CBS Corporation and NBC Universal. Together, the “big six” absolutely dominate news and entertainment in the United States. But even those areas of the media that the “big six” do not completely control are becoming increasingly concentrated. For example, Clear Channel now owns over 1000 radio stations across the United States. Companies like Google, Yahoo and Microsoft are increasingly dominating the Internet.Why controlling the media is essential for domination

Bill Hicks - Revelations
William Melvin "Bill"
Hicks (December 16, 1961 – February 26, 1994) was an American stand-up comedian, social critic, satirist and musician. His material, encompassing a wide range of social issues as well as religion, politics, and philosophy, was controversial, and often steeped in dark comedy. He criticized consumerism, superficiality, mediocrity, and banality within the media and popular culture, which he characterized as oppressive tools of the ruling class that "keep people stupid and apathetic".[1]
At the age of 16, while still in high school, he began performing at the Comedy Workshop in Houston, Texas. During the 1980s, he toured the United States extensively and made a number of high-profile television appearances; but it was in the UK that he amassed a significant fan base, filling large venues during his 1991 tour.[2] He also achieved a modicum of recognition as a guitarist and songwriter.
Hicks died of pancreatic cancer on February 26, 1994 in Little Rock, Arkansas, at the age of 32. In subsequent years – in particular after a series of posthumous album releases – his body of work gained a significant measure of acclaim in creative circles, and he developed a substantial "cult" following. In 2007 he was voted the fourth greatest stand-up comic on Channel 4's list of the UK's 100 Greatest Stand-Ups, and he maintained that ranking on the 2010 list.[3]

Visitors Among Us
We have always wondered if we were alone. Sightings of "visitors" have been reported for thousands of years, and for most of the modern era, we have categorized these sightings amongst "aliens", "ghosts", "demons", and others. What if by categorizing them we isolate the evidence and minimize its potential value for correlation, cross-connection, and - ultimately - understanding?
This presentation compiles some of the best videos of the supposed "visitors" and begs the question - are they among us? Footage includes ghosts at Walt Disney World, news reports of UFO orbs, glowing "sparklets" in the woods, creatures underground, and much more.

Health Officials: ‘No Concern’ Over 500% Increase In Radation Levels On California Beach
http://themindunleashed.org/2014/01/health-officials-concern-500-increase-radation-levels-california-beach.html
on 7 January, 2014 at 22:27
Health officials in California are attempting to brush off public concern after a viral Youtube video showed a large increase in radiation levels on a Coastside beach last week.
Following public outcry, a state investigation by health officials found similar levels while collecting ground samples several days later. According to County Environmental Health Director Dean Peterson, the public should not be concerned.
“It’s not something that we feel is an immediate public health concern,” Peterson told the Review. “We’re not even close to the point of saying that any of this is from Fukushima.”
According to “Dave,” the video’s author, radiation detected two inches off the beach surface several days prior produced levels even higher, nearly 13 times above normal.
Unconvinced of any link to Fukushima, Peterson pointed to items such as “red-painted disposable eating utensils” as a more likely cause of the heightened radiation levels.
“I honestly think the end result of this is that it’s just higher levels of background radiation,” Peterson said.
A group from GeigerCounter.com claims to have analyzed and found elevated levels of Radium 226 and Thorium 232 in the sand, two naturally occurring radioactive substances reportedly not associated with Fukushima.
According to Dave, after two years of measuring levels on the beach, the increase appeared almost overnight. Given estimates by physics experts that point to a massive radiation plume reaching the west coast by early 2014, some see the timing as more than coincidence.
Countless other issues plaguing the West Coast in recent months, such as the ongoing “melting sea star” epidemic, have raised increasing questions over the government’s handling of the disaster, or lack thereof.
Recent comments made by former MSNBC host Chenk Uygur have only fueled the public’s speculation over Fukushima’s severity. Attempting to speak out early on, Uygur was advised by the network not to warn viewers “because the official government position is that it’s safe.”
Unfortunately, initial concerns regarding Japan were validated after 71 U.S. sailors came forward last month, stricken with Leukemia, tumors and thyroid cancer after helping with initial Fukushima relief operations.
Just last week, the Department of Health and Human Services quietly ordered 14 million doses of potassium iodide, used to protect the thyroid gland during radiological disasters. Attempting to investigate the matter, DHHS officials hung up on Storyleak’s Anthony Gucciardi after questions regarding the incident produced conflicting answers.
As new mysterious plumes of steam continue to rise from reactor 3, Fukushima’s future remains increasingly uncertain.

STUNNING: COMPARING U.S. & WORLD COVERS FOR TIME MAGAZINE
http://truththeory.com/2013/09/26/stunning-comparing-u-s-world-covers-for-time-magazine/
by David Harris Gershon
Each week, TIME Magazine designs covers for four markets: the U.S., Europe, Asia and the South Pacific. Often, America’s cover is quite, well – different. This week offers a stark example.
Witness:
Yes, what you see is TIME devoting its cover in international markets to a critical moment in Egypt’s revolution – perhaps the most important global story this week – while offering Americans the chance to contemplate their collective navels (with a rather banal topic and supposition, to boot).This is not an isolated incident, for perusingTIME’s covers reveals countless examples of the publication tempting the world with critical events, ideas or figures, while dangling before Americans the chance to indulge in trite self-absorption.
Witness these stunning dichotomies:
Viewing these covers, a question must be asked: do these moments of marketing (through a choice in covers) reveal more about Americans, or about the state of American journalism? I fear the answer.

One Step Beyond-Terminology Class
Words you will need to know when reading this blog:
Disinformation is intentionally false or inaccurate information that is spread deliberately. It is an act of deception and false statements to convince someone of untruth. Disinformation should not be confused with misinformation, information that is unintentionally false.
Unlike traditional propaganda techniques designed to engage emotional support, disinformation is designed to manipulate the audience at the rational level by either discrediting conflicting information or supporting false conclusions. A common disinformation tactic is to mix some truth and observation with false conclusions and lies, or to reveal part of the truth while presenting it as the whole (a limited hangout).
Shill In online discussion media, satisfied consumers or "innocent" parties may express specific opinions in order to further the interests of an organization in which they have an interest, such as a commercial vendor or special interest group. In academia, this is called opinion spamming. Web sites can also be set up for the same purpose.
Fear mongering (fear porn,scaremongering or scare tactics) is the use of fear to influence the opinions and actions of others towards some specific end. The feared object or subject is sometimes exaggerated, and the pattern of fear mongering is usually one of repetition, in order to continuously reinforce the intended effects of this tactic, sometimes in the form of a vicious circle.Disinformation is intentionally false or inaccurate information that is spread deliberately.

A common disinformation tactic is to mix some truth and observation with false conclusions and lies, or to reveal part of the truth while presenting it as the whole (a limited hangout).
Shill In online discussion media, satisfied consumers or "innocent" parties may express specific opinions in order to further the interests of an organization in which they have an interest, such as a commercial vendor or special interest group. In academia, this is called opinion spamming. Web sites can also be set up for the same purpose.
Class dismissed.
