Rolling News Zombies Are Eating Our Brains

It's a mighty strange business, news. Last century (not so long ago) you'd catch five minutes on the radio with a breakfast coffee, maybe pick up a paper on the way to work or watch a bit of TV news at either six or ten and that was that. In fact, if you did all three you were probably a 'news junkie'. But news-addiction is a different ball game in 2022, and the non-stop info-overload is the explanation for every rotten con-trick of the last 20 years.

We are being force-fed propaganda disguised as 'news' every single day. Look at the number of ways in which information we did not go looking for is thrust upon us. 

I stopped reading newspapers after I stopped writing for them, in 2010. However, if I visit a petrol station, I cannot avoid  seeing a large display of 

HUGE NEWSPAPER HEADLINES 

- every one of them yelling the same TOP STORIES of the day. The same thing happens if I enter a supermarket or a corner shop. 

I don't watch television -do not even possess one- but if I enter a bus or train station or an airport, there will be newspaper displays plus television sets, and before long the same TOP STORIES will be plastered on the screens. 

I stopped listening to radio about 20 years ago, but I know that every radio station is interrupted every single hour by a recital of the TOP STORIES of the day. 

Internet users are ceaselessly bombarded with uninvited TOP STORIES, while attempting to find entertainment or information chosen by ourselves. A constant stream of distraction is thrust at us, trying to direct us towards the TOP STORIES.   Most people use 'free' email accounts, and all the major suppliers like AOL or Gmail, BT etc. make sure that when you log in, you must first run the gauntlet of the day's TOP STORIES.

Long ago in another century I lived in London and travelled regularly on the Underground trains, god help me. Down there they give away tens of thousands of newspapers every day for free (the execrable METRO).  

All the day's headlines are always coordinated, wherever we encounter them, to make sure everyone knows what the TOP STORY is, and how we should feel about it also. As I have repeatedly said on this blog, the two-year Covid charade could never have succeeded without the non-stop media amplification of lies and threats spurting from government. 

The experimental psychologist Pavlov trained dogs by ringing a bell to announce the arrival of food. By repetition, the bell and the food became the same thing in the dogs' minds. 

Soon enough, the sound of the bell was enough to start dogs drooling in the complete absence of food. The food existed only in the dog's imagination, but the bell itself could produce a real, physical effect. 

This is why headlines are carefully coordinated. Like Pavlov's dogs, throughout the Covid hoax, the public was trained to believe that ever-increasing numbers of people were dying of a deadly virus, everywhere, all the time. Endless repetition of numbers of deaths made numbers and deaths the same thing in the public's minds.  

Soon enough, a simple headline like 6,000 MORE CASES was enough to send the zombie-brains running to lock themselves indoors with bags over their heads. Fear, like food, is a simple tool for training humans. The pandemic existed largely in the public's imagination, but the headlines were enough to produce real  physical effects.

It amazes me how rarely people ask the question who decides what the 'news' actually is, anyway? If you step back from the shrieking babble of "news" outlets and think about it, on any given day there are millions of stories which could be chosen and distributed to the public. Yet, by some mysterious magic, ten different newspapers, fifty TV stations and a squillion online outlets will all settle on the same selection of TOP STORIES each day.

If logic was involved, the 'news' would consist of stories relevant to most people's lives. A top story would, of necessity, be of actual importance to the lives of a huge percentage of the people hearing or reading it. Such news very rarely occurs, because in reality only a fraction of events will ever by themselves prompt a large number of people to demand information about them.  

REMEMBER THIS HEADLINE?

One week ago, a three day conference took place in (institutionally corrupt) Dubai, attended by global corporate media stooges and the CEO Borg of the world's most profitable companies. An elite Moot, if you will, to compare with COP 26 or Davos, Bilderberg, the UN, take your pick. This was -no kidding-  the 2022 World Government Summit. (click HERE for details) 

Call me mister paranoid conspiracy nutjob, but this sounds to me like an event with the potential -and the aim- to affect not just a large percentage of people, but every human being on earth. The entire purpose of this conference was to promote, advance and bring about a single government which would control the entire world. If I was in charge of selecting the TOP STORY in a media outlet, I  would certainly have this at the head of my shortlist for maximum exposure.

So, dear reader, did you catch the BBC's TOP STORY coverage of this astounding plan for a bunch of unelected billionaires to take control of the planet? Perhaps not. Did any reference to this pop up on the hourly 'news summary' on Radio 4, which happens 24 times a day? I can't swear to it, because unlike millions of zombies I don't pollute my ears with BBC crap, but I was in a number of petrol stations and supermarkets that weekend and incredibly, I didn't see a single headline announcing that a gang of rich, powerful businessmen were meeting to make a plan for world domination. Did you?

In a climate of rolling, 24/7 news, the headlines are poisoned-darts of propaganda, and thrown for a purpose. Headlines and the stories attached to them are intended to bypass the intellect and puncture our emotional reserve.  The aim is to prevent debate or rational assessments, direct public attention and shape public opinion -not to inform. Propaganda is not news, but brainwashing.

The scale and the strength of the brainwashing has never been so massive as it is now. Every day a huge percentage of people are unwittingly  prodded into experiencing the exact emotional and physical reactions desired by those who create and broadcast propaganda. 

HATE RUSSIANS

On Wednesday I took a ferryboat to the mainland, drove thirty miles down a remote stretch of Scottish coast, and a further 300 miles after that, ending up in a small Lincolnshire hamlet. The blue and yellow flag of Ukraine was flying at the ferryport, two Scottish golf courses, an animal-feed store, a farm shop, an antique shop and at least six houses I passed approaching the village. All this is past madness to me. Ukrainian military forces have been waging war against pro-Russian  separatists -killing thousands- since 2014. America has supplied them with weapons and money to pursue this policy. Nobody in Britain gave a good god damn as far as I noticed.

Now that Russia is waging war with Ukraine, a propaganda blitz of 'poor little Ukraine' has seemingly bamboozled half the world into anti-Russian fanaticism that borders on psychosis. War is hell and I have no doubt Ukraine will get the worst of this one, but the 'good versus evil' fairy tale peddled in our media is simplistic tosh. Ridiculous fake 'war crime' stories are coming at us fast and thick and a remarkable amount of people are just swallowing them whole.

We are shown images of the Woke Pope fatso fumbling with a blue and yellow flag, while reports come in that random Russian people living in Europe are being shunned, shamed and attacked 'to punish Russia'. Such attackers are people who have imagined their way into 'participating' in a conflict they know nothing about beyond the asinine talking points distributed by professional liars.  

These and other insanities are becoming the norm, in a world where humans abandon any attempt to form their own views, and simply take their version of reality from the unasked-for headlines popping up on the nearest screen. I have no idea how to reverse this trend, because with each passing week I hear the moronic gibberish of talking points and fake news being recycled in conversations by adults who have clearly never been taught how to think for themselves. I cannot bear to listen to the youngsters anymore as even the graduates sound like parrots with emojis for brains.
