“People have to have immediate updates on stories of the day. It’s an addiction. And for an addict, his own state of mind is far less important than finding his next jolt. He only knows Need. And the last thing he wants to consider is that, at bottom, he is inventing that Need.” (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)
Reality is a psychological operation.
“Reality” basically means some group has force, money, and access to fawning media. They can define what exists.
A psyop depends on being able to engineer one story line.
A psyop depends on selling one centralized story.
In the case of Ebola, the whole unfolding storyline depends on selling basic assumptions: a) there is an outbreak; b) the outbreak is caused by a single virus.
As you can see, these assumptions and the ensuing storyline are being sold by major media, with no exceptions. There are no defectors.
If, tomorrow, the head of the CDC announced that no one had ever extracted the Ebola virus from a human being, isolated it, and seen it, he would be locked up in a psych ward.
He defected from reality, which is to say, the psyop.
If, tomorrow, the head of the FDA announced that GMO crops and the herbicide Roundup were a clear and present danger to the population of the world, and constituted a grave crime, he would be locked up in a psych ward.
If, tomorrow, the governor of Colorado announced that the shooter(s) in the Aurora theater was not James Holmes, he would be run out of office and possibly locked up in a psych ward.
If, magically, overnight, you found yourself in possession of overwhelming force and a direct pipeline to elite media anchors, you could tell your story about what exists, and you would find millions of people believing you.
This is how reality works.
What would happen if the three major networks, each with considerable power, had come up with three vastly different versions of the Boston massacre?
CBS: “FBI and local police killed one terrorist and captured the other in what observers are calling one of the bravest days in the history of law enforcement in America.”
NBC: “After a violent gun battle on the streets of a great American city, during which a suspect in the Boston massacre was killed, an FBI source stunningly revealed they had ended the life of a cooperating informant. He put it this way: ‘The Tsarnaev brothers were recruited by a secret Bureau unit to plant the bombs. The plan was to blame the bombing on so-called patriots, but that fell through, so the Bureau exercised their only option. They put their informants front and center and blamed the whole thing on them’…”
ABC: “Today, the tragic loss of life and wounding of more than 180 persons at the Boston Marathon were partially redeemed, when, amazingly, Boston police traced three pipe bombs to a CIA storage locker in Maryland…”
Suppose, in the midst of an uproar heard and echoed around the world, the networks stood by their contradictory versions of events and wouldn’t back down.
A massive blow would hit psyop-land. Centralized story? Poleaxed.
People wouldn’t know what to do. They expect one story line and they get three, from the highest hypnotic and influential media giants.
In a literal, though unconscious, sense, familiar time and space would begin to fall apart.
But actually, it’s far more surreal for the three major television networks to agree on the substance of every significant event than to come to radically different conclusions.
Unfortunately, people don’t see it that way. They don’t see that three behemoths dispensing the same information represents a highly unnatural state of affairs.
On this subject, here are a few notes from a work-in-progress, The Underground:
“Fractured reality is approaching like a huge wave. Defections from the ranks of consensus are exploding. Therefore, the space of the mind is changing. Those who are holding the fort are trying to minimize the effect. That’s why they’re staging more ‘crises’. Crises are magnets. They attract the mass, the collective, the reality-addicts, the joiners, the people who will buy official ideas pumped out of the central factory.”
“In a vast subterranean cavern of the unconscious, people are hoping an artist will step forward who can paint an apple so real it can’t be distinguished from an apple on a tree. That, hopefully, will put an end to all creation, invention, imagination. Then everyone can say, ‘Imagination at its highest point gives us nothing beyond what is already there, and we already have that.”
“Group-ideas which are obviously foolish and depleting and destructive are relatively easy to reject. But group-ideas that seem to herald a better world are the big deceptions. These ideas, in a vacuum, may be attractive and interesting, but because they emerge from a group they are going to induce a deep trance, in the long run.”
“Bargain price! We’ll shave down your perceptual field so you can fit in with eight billion androids. You’ll never miss what you can’t see. Yes, folks, we’ll cement you into the limited spectrum, where all the action is. There is a sense of family in this reality. People liking people. We’re all in this together.”
“Asking someone to imagine what his mind would be like if it were missing its entire collection of consensus-ideas goes over like lead matzos balls at a Catholic communion.”
“Very few people care about the space, time, and energy of psychological propaganda. They think it’s just lies. It isn’t. It’s a parallel world.”

A parallel world indeed…a world that is only as important as you believe it to be. It’s a world that is only important until you realize it is altogether irrelevant. It is a world that is robotic, machine like, dead, and it’s only interesting until you realize it poses no danger to the intelligent whatsoever. It is a parallel world that is entirely irrelevant to the building of the ‘new’ world, although some of the tools of the old civilization come in handy once in a while. I mean, I could probably live without my Vita-mix 5200, but why not beat a few of the ‘swords into plowshears’.
I cannot escape this “parallel” world by just not believing in it anymore. My kids go to school. Thus it is there, real, every day. This is only one example.

YES the power of the media especially the tv is so powerful a deception
People believe it no matter what it says.
“But actually, it’s far more surreal for the three major television networks to agree on the substance of every significant event than to come to radically different conclusions.”
I agree. In one of James Lee Burke’s novels, the character, Aldous Robicheaux says,
“If ever’one tell the same tale, it bound to be a lie.”
Though that line comes from a work of fiction, I’ve found it to true in every case I’ve seen of media reporting. The major networks went so far overboard with their single storyline lockstep reporting of the 9/11/2001 ‘terrorist attack” that they were all broadcasting the same video footage at the same time.
Three different witnesses to the same auto accident will tell three different versions of the event, because they each had a different vantage point and each took away his own personal impression of what he saw. If the three tell exactly the same tale, in similar or identical choice of words, what would you conclude?
I would conclude that ol’ Aldous Robicheaux was pointing out an obvious fact, even though he was an invention of the author of a novel.
Another mind-altering, paradigm-busting article – for me anyway. Yeah, it makes no sense that all news stories should be essentially (exactly) the same from all sources; never gave it much thought before. You have a knack for cutting through the BS (and making it an enjoyably amusing read at same time). Much appreciated.
It is not called ‘TV Programming’ for nothing. In the early days of television, subliminal messages were discovered, and banned. I believe that the programmers found an undiscoverable method of creating zombies through visual and audio messages.
Every time we are confronted with a new revolution we take to the opium pipes of our own propaganda.
