Body Language, Subliminal Advertising and Terrorism

Back into the theme of my recent submissions, that the model for our society is so flawed and broken that we cannot fix it, but must replace it.
This time, I explore body language and how it is assimilated into advertising. This leads to an introduction into mind control and behaviour modification and how we use these techniques. A long read, but a solid argument. Are our Government and 'Big business," a pack of liars?
Yes

A man in a cafe notices a beautiful woman sitting at a table nearby. They have never spoken to each other they have never even met.

He cannot stop glancing at her. He feels he knows her, he can tell how wonderful she is from her relaxed posture that in some ways mirror his own. At a subconscious level our hero is reading the signs that our heroine is all but painting on big placards and holding them up one after the other.

Body language.

The primal language where every word we know has many different signals and postures.

Attraction is better documented by body language than by actual documentation.

Mutual attraction is more a dance than a conversation.

Being the mental shower that we are this particular dialect of body language i.e. attraction, subtlety is the key to our reckoning. Yes we wish to communicate our attraction to our intended, by acting within two parameters, these two parameters being set within the level of awareness. Yes the signals must just be at the threshold of awareness. Hence our hero will do his mating dance for our heroine in increasing intensity until she understands and returns a few signals of her own.

Of course this mini love affair can fizzle and die before even the first word is spoken between the pair. You see all this signalling to each other is doing a lot more than just spelling out the attraction. The use of subtlety is the key. Our hero’s subtlety immediately shows our heroine his personality and IQ in relation to hers. She automatically knows whether they will resonate together. Our hero too learns much, if he has had to go from subtle to obvious without a wanted response he will start to feel foolish and the relationship is on the rocks.

When she begins to mirror his signals and add a few of her own he knows the prognosis be good.

Most times, words in this language rely on situation and context to explain their meaning. For instance should our heroine make a fist and display her middle finger to our hero, he will immediately cease and desist from licking his eyebrows, his pride having been dealt a mortal blow. Yet when his friend offered him the same gesture after beating him in a game of pool it just made the whole occasion more fun and showed that they were good friends not to mention that he would never lick his eyebrows for his friend, that’s reserved for somebody really special.

Body language is very well understood by the subconscious but only just begins to reach our level of awareness and in a place where context and subtlety mean different things to different people, it is very open to misinterpretation.

For those of you who don’t believe body language exists, I would like to suggest a little experiment. Find a stranger at a bus stop. Stand toe to toe with them and say nothing but look them straight in the eye. If you get a reaction you do not like, try telling them that there is no such thing as body language.

You can tell more about a person by observing him than he can tell you of himself. You see what we verbally tell people of ourselves reflects how we would like to be perceived. Body language doesn’t give a damn for that stuff, body language just tells it how it is.

First impressions last. You can tell from even a simple handshake the character of he you have just met.

Did he offer his hand with the palm faced upwards? This is the posture of the beggar. He feels inferior.

Did he offer his hand with his palm faced downwards. The master dropping coins into the palm of the beggar.

Did he offer his hand with the palm facing sideways. He who considers himself your equal.

I find for the first two, a very appropriate response during the actual handshake is to twist the offered hand sideways into a meeting of equals. It helps to show he who feels that he is inferior that he is not, and it shows the other that he has a very misguided and false opinion of himself.

What of the man in the bar who’s arguing with you about religion or politics? Has he gone all red faced, is he now using volume as part of his argument? The chances are that he does not wish to take his argument to the physical realm. However should he go all pale, prepare to defend yourself.

What of the guy trying to flog you his car. Does he rub his nose or cover his mouth every time he tells you some truth about the car? He is probably lying.

When young children tell a lie they usually cover their mouth with one or both hands, showing that they know they have done wrong and in an act that speaks volumes of the lack of foresight in man, attempt to shut the gate after the horse has bolted. Of course after a while they learn this gesture tends to give them away and they try to stop it. Unfortunately this learned behaviour is almost compulsive and is a very hard habit to drop. Sometimes the hand will almost be at the mouth before it is realised and in an attempt to disguise the signal moves past the mouth and starts rubbing the nose. Again context and situation come into play here, he might even have an itchy nose. The best giveaway here is to watch the hand hesitate at the mouth or just before it. To get a good feel for this one should practice. It is the ability to read this type of body language that make some people to be better judges of character than others, even though they themselves cannot quite put their fingers on it as to exactly how they do it.

Sometimes when being truthful or open we show our palms and wrists, we move our hands apart leaving our bodies open and vulnerable showing we have nothing to hide, this is much more apparent when two people who are attracted to each other are communicating with each other.

Are their feet pointing at each other? Is one person’s feet pointing at the other, but the other’s are pointing anywhere but back at the first person?

In the first both people are having a conversation, in the second one has a captive audience who will escape at the soonest opportunity.

How about if there are three people? Do all the feet triangulate? Do they all point at the common centre of the group? This is a three way conversation. Other positions or patterns tell different stories.

You are talking to a woman you have never met before and you notice (usually subconsciously) her pupils begin to dilate, her brain has begun to manufacture drugs and bath itself in them, she’s in love, or at least the first throes of it.

It is my belief that attraction is initially governed by the subconscious. When two sets of eyes first communicate across a crowded room it feels a purposeful event rather than a random one. Knowing that the subconscious absorbs our full surroundings before our conscious minds are prompted to focus on areas that have aroused our interest. It seems to me that nobody can be a slave to love as one cannot obey two masters and undoubtedly man is a slave to his subconscious.

Body language and our recognition of it seems to say that the conscious mind will someday fully integrate and fully replace the subconscious mind or even vice versa the result being the same. How can one rule the world when one cannot yet fully rule oneself. Also if this were to ever occur man would possess for all intents and purposes absolute awareness and absolute existence. This would be to be truly divine and truly chaotic too.

Big business spotted body language amongst other techniques that allowed them to influence the masses via advertising.

There are but two types of advertising. One type puts a product, a brand name or a service in your mind; the other type keeps it there.

Let’s look at bottled spring water. This with the advertising conjures up images of pure fresh and vibrant water. What gets forgotten is that all water is part of the water cycle, and wasn’t always spring water, this is only one of the stops this substance has made on its own never-ending journey. I mean if one conjures up the fact that many molecules of the water in every bottle of pure fresh and vibrant spring water probably passed through the bladder of Hitler, one is not so overcome with the beauty of the picture presented.

Advertising is not so much about lying, but about distorting the truth.

What about the food advertisers, fresh is the most important word in their arsenal. The word fresh has no legal definition. It simply means unspoiled. The meat you pick out of the freezer may be fresh true, but it may also have been dead years, and possibly so even a decade or so. This of course has big implications on important issues like Mad Cow Disease. We expect to be able to do our statistical analysis of the situation and control it as soon as or soon after we discover an infected cow, but thanks to freshness, we may not be able to do so until long after the problem is recognised. Freshly frozen is an oxymoron but nonetheless is legally allowable yet I suppose this should not really be unexpected.

What of one of history’s longest running battles, the war of giants, the war between Coke and Pepsi? This again is water, with carbon dioxide and flavouring. It is the real thing if it’s Coke but it is the rebellious choice of a new generation if it is Pepsi. And I suppose the fact that our own water supply is not fit to drink in itself forces us to drink this stuff, but it is nice of them to program us and tell us how good it is. Yes give us some of your bottled time (money) and we will give you a big attractively shaped bottle of fresh fizzy former probable piss.

What about body language in advertising? Lets talk of the Flake ads. Think of a beautiful, sexy sultry woman, seductively posed and lighted romantically and mysteriously. Licking and sliding the Flake into her mouth. God what I’d give to be that Flake. Of course I cannot be, so I will comfort myself by buying one and possessing it. Women will also buy them so that they may feel desired the way we men obviously desire our sexy seductress felating the Flake. Of course the man may buy a flake for his woman dropping a hint he probably doesn’t realise he’s dropping. Of course this is pretty obvious and not as subtle as most body language, but we have come a long way since then. Think of our sexy seductress in profile with her mouth open about to swallow the bottle of frothing and spurting piss.

We define pornography as something depicted that is of a sexual nature but that has no artistic merit, advertising. I will begrudgingly admit however that advertising has become an art form of type, but it is a type that I pray never adds to the definition of the soul of man but I fear I am already too late, advertising and the control it exerts has become part of the psyche of man.

I believe ads like these have a very detrimental effect on society, as I believe they have an overall effect of how we communicate with each other through body language, in that they dictate to us the meaning of subtle. Like celebrities, big business has it made, they are successful and ordinary slobs like you and I model ourselves on success. This is of course in addition to mind control.

What of ads that insert behaviours into already established traditions, for example the old Rollo ads? Do you love anyone enough to give them your last Rollo? This all but drove Irish society nuts what with people presenting each other with a single solitary sweet wrapped attractively in its gold coloured wrapping. Is it really a sign of affection or love? Or is it giving beads to the indians? Next time you feel drawn to help people suffering from famine because you care deeply for them try sending them a Rollo and check out is it really a sign of love and affection. To have the mind of an advertiser one must be a really sneaky bastard.

What of the evolution of razors? Yes try the new an improved version, three blades and anti-stick pads make for an experience that is reminiscent of manliness. Of course it is never said that this calls their other frequent attempts to create manliness, shite and abysmal failures and will point to the uselessness of this new product too someday soon. In fairness men will continue to shave regardless as to how pretty the razor is. We have been doing it since we figured out how. Be a tool user not a tool.

The same goes for washing powders. You must have been one filthy bastard bedraped in the sodden rags the predecessor to this new miraculous product soiled.

Advertising is all about taking your own ability to decide your needs and dictating them to you. Well it does save you having to think doesn’t it? Most ads scream why think when we have gone to so much trouble to do it for you. We have put a lot of money and resources into this, and resources that you yourself do not have, so why not just come to the conclusion that we know best? RTE, take this insult further by demanding you pay them for being exposed to these predators. This and replacing Irish values with American values are RTE’s sole function. Fair enough they throw in the odd bit of Irishness to disguise their intentions, but their motivation is obvious nonetheless. Without their foreign nationalism and masters, RTE would die in a heartbeat, license or no license.

It’s all about awareness and perspective.

The ads described so far are pretty obvious in as far as subtlety is concerned. They are known as semi-subliminal in that they try to hit you just within your area of recognition, they have to be somewhat ambiguous in that if they are obviously so downright pornographic the ad will not see the light of day, or if they stretch the truth too far and cut off the possibility of a true description being derived from it then again this ad will not work. In fairness this is quite a delicate balance to reach so it is easy to see why advertising costs so much. It’s not like putting a card advertising a second hand pram for sale up on the notice board at Tesco’s.

What of subliminal advertising? Sublimation being when a solid goes straight to the gaseous state, bypassing the liquid state. Subliminal advertising bypasses the intellect and conscious mind and roots itself straight into you subconscious mind, the subconscious being one of the primal driving forces in man.

The subconscious is a strange and wonderful place. It is the place where all information is collected and stored. It is here that the decision to repress or express is made. This is the place where our darkest fears are stored, they are usually even hidden from ourselves and our conscious minds.

Repressed fears and hidden needs constantly motivate and help define our conscious thoughts and actions.

Advertisers being the bastards that they are use these hidden motivators to control us.

Of course Advertisers tell us that subliminal advertising does not exist and that if it did that it would achieve very poor results.

How do they know this?

All successful big businesses by definition do not to waste money. Why spend thousands on billboards on dual-carriageways for example, when they know that people will be driving past them without opportunity to consciously take in the whole ad?

These ads are designed with the idea that most people viewing them will only glance at them for a second or less as they pass.

They know the conscious mind would take much longer to absorb them but they also know that the subconscious takes the whole thing in at a glance and that it will digest and draw implications from them over time, without the conscious mind or the will playing a part in the process. They also know the subconscious plays a major part in programming the will. In fairness it is either one or the other, these billboards are designed to sublimate into the unconscious or to hijack the conscious mind which would be to cause people to drive dangerously.

When you look at something the information you take in is split into many parts and sent to different areas of the brain. For example, if you see sudden movement this is processed seperately to any static part of the scene or any movement that is not sudden and unexpected and immediately sent to the conscious mind with a high priority alert tagged to it. This is why most people can drive automatically, whilst talking to somebody else or listen to music or whatever, but as soon as sudden or unexpected movement occurs the mind is immediately focused on safety, driving safely, road signs and to a slightly lesser exrent billboards. Basically speaking sudden unexpected movement causes anxiety. Anxiety causes the conscious mind to focus on, or search for, the cause of the anxiety. Anxiety may be momentary or may last much longer. When the source of this anxiety is not apparent our minds will continuously seek and the source and its cure. For instance you notice the billboard as you are haring down the dual carriageway at 90, something flickers on your left and causes you anxiety, you shift your attention to the source, a billboard, anxiety cured, no more pain than an insect splatting into the windscreen, only this particular insect laid some eggs. This type of behaviour can happen at a point where we barely recognise it. Something may nag at you and then suddenly you remember you had to phone someone or something else you forgot to do.

Most people suffer from irrational fears, i.e. fears that are a construct or an experience of the subconscious mind.

You may be afraid of heights like me, or you may be afraid of the dark, the point being that you fear something yet you do not know or understand why? When we understand the reasoning behind our personal fears we are halfway to being cured.

On the 12th of September 1957 James Vicary called a press conference and announced a new phenomenon. He described a six-week study in a New Jersey cinema. He admitted to flashing messages on the big screen with a tachioscope projector, which caused the message to last about 1/3,000 of a second, the idea being that the subconscious would recognise it but that it didn’t last long enough for the conscious mind to notice it. He flashed two different messages. One said ‘drink coke’, and the other said ‘eat popcorn’. He claimed coke sales went up by 57.5% and popcorn sales went up by 18.1%.

This test and its results may have been fabrication and big business would have us believe this. But it remains undisputed that Vicary’s announcement caused mass hysteria. Outraged newspapers, radios and television all over America went nuts condemning this practice and American lawmakers drafted laws.

His tests indeed may have been fictitious but it is undeniable the very idea of thought control hit a nerve in the deep subconscious of man and caused what history itself has shown and proved. Subliminal advertising can and does work. Or indeed if not subliminal then manipulative.

It is very close to impossible to provide a law to make subliminal advertising illegal. Try arguing before an Irish judge that one cannot truly and definitively point to an example of a subliminal advertisement as they are beyond, or very close to it, conscious awareness.

Let me give you an idea as to what subliminal feels like by examining levels of awareness. Are you currently aware of the big toe of your left foot? You are now. Your big toe was probably hanging around just below you level of awareness. How about this is there any background noise that you were unaware of until I focused your attention on it? What about your breathing? Notice it? What is the first word in this sentence? Did your eyes jump back even though you knew the answer? Did they jump back more than once?

How about some mind control?

Imagine biting into a lemon. Imagine the bitter taste of it flooding your mouth, imagine the texture of it, imagine the smell of it before and after biting it.

Did your mouth start to salivate?

Did you consciously tell your mouth to salivate?

Try not to picture a red bucket. Can you do it?

Do not think about the smell of vinegar on chips.

How about, I command you, to imagine the face of your mother.

Some commands are beyond our abilities to disobey. But depending on the wording of the command the ability to resist changes. You see of every command I have just given you, your mothers face is the most primal of your memories, yet because I openly commanded you, I’ll bet it was easier to resist. Plus I’ll also bet that if you were to read though these manipulations again they would not have the same effect, this type of manipulation becomes less effective when we recognise it.

You see what I might suggest to be a subliminal ad could be explained away as a fertile imagination. Lets talk of how these ads are constructed to illustrate what I mean.

It is well known that solitary drinkers and alcoholics suffer appalling nightmares. Sometimes these nightmares encroach upon the sufferer’s waking consciousness; we call this type of hallucination the rats. Anyway mostly these nightmares involve scenes of despair and of death. Screaming and contorted faces, skulls and the like are frequent ingredients.

Anyhow, arsehole advertisers incorporate these scenes into their advertisements. Have a look through some magazines for alcohol related ads.

Now look at an ad and look for areas that are not clearly defined or out of focus. The usual trick is to target icecubes and bubbles. It is very hard to photograph ice due to light being reflected at different angles within the ice, so ice is normally drawn by graphic designers.

Remember as a child you used to look at clouds, and be able to see all sorts of stuff, everything from dragons to famous people. Look at the ice in the same fashion.

Most people I’ve asked to try this have been able to percieve faces in the ice. Fair enough say the advertisers this is akin to making shapes from clouds. Fair enough I answer but why are the faces predominantly faces of despair and horror? Could I, and most people I know be so paranoid or psychotic? Possibly, but I don’t think so; add delusions and denial to my diagnosis.

Here is what I think, sociable drinkers are not the main targets in advertising for alcohol companies in that they buy most of their alcohol in pubs, this is not to say that one will not buy the odd slab or two. However the lone drinker and alcoholic don’t. These people are therefore the logical victim of these ads. It’s pretty logical when you think about it. Aim the ads at those who will spend the most.

Again you will not see these faces unless you look for them. However your subconscious mind has stored the whole image and is quite capable of interpreting the faces and triggering memories or responses deep within the subconscious. Now being a heavy drinker this individual is quite familiar with the distorted despairing faces of his or her dreams. Anxiety is introduced. Anxiety will be introduced to the normal punter too but nowhere near the same level as that in the alcoholic.

So when this type of person is confronted by an ad of this type it sets within them a very uneasy feeling, but they do not know why as it may be some time after viewing the ad, the subconscious may take some time to interpret the ad and compare it to the dreams and irrational fears. Then when they do the shopping and spot the particular brand of alcohol that was advertised and they quell the uneasy feeling by buying the product. They perpetuate the illness, dream the dreams, see or remember the ads and a round they go again.

This type of subliminal advertising is called embedding. There are many more types.

Here’s an interesting experiment if you are a heterosexual man. Look for any ad you want the only limitation I put on the type of ad is that the ad must contain at least two men in it and no women, I am only barring women here because the very presence of one will disturb the effect I wish to illustrate. Now observe the postures of each man. The men will probably have strong masculine features and probably be recognised as stereotypical heterosexual man in order to distract the conscious mind from other details. However imagine it is you who are one of the males holding the same posture in the presence of another man. Would you feel uncomfortable? For the ladies who look at the same picture would you agree that this hunk is a man you would feel safe with? Why not turn your man into the perfect man?

Conflict.

Solution give in to the ad.

Again these ads are usually targetted at specific targets and only trawl for the rest of humanity, some buy into it some don’t. People who buy into it are known as impressionable.

Who are the most impressionable members of society?

I could go on and on and on. But I won’t It is you yourself who are ultimately responsible for what you do and what you buy. If you were to ask my advice on the subject I would ask you to view and listen to all ads very carefully for a while until you get used to what to look for. When you find ads that for any reason you think may be suspect, do not follow the commands of the ad and tell your friends.

This type of advertising adds to the overall level of anxiety or stress that society already heaps on us. Plus if one could force these advertisers not to spend such huge quantities of cash then their products might start to come down in price, I admit it is a pretty remote possibility but it is a possibility nonetheless.

Ivan Pavlov born in Russia in 1849 became a Nobel Prize winner in 1904 for his work in digestion, in 1927 he published results of new experiments that laid the foundation for brain washing, back then it was initially known as pavlovian conditioning.

This sicko did some interesting stuff. He operated on some dogs and attached pipes to their salivary glands. He noticed that when the dogs were given food that they salivated more than normal.

He also noticed that when he did other stuff not involving food that the dogs were not induced to salivate any more than normal.

He wondered to himself could he change the behaviour of these dogs so that he could get them to salivate to stimulus other than food?

He tried ringing a bell (some say it was not a bell but it matters not) just before feeding.

After a while of this he found that just ringing the bell would trigger the dogs salivation whether he gave them food or not.

He also found that if he continued to just ring the bell and not give them food then their learned conditioning dropped off and eventually died, this is know as extinction in pavlovian conditioning.

He also noticed that he could cause great upset and eventual breakdowns in the dogs if he varied the routine, for instance the bell would ring at different and non routine times and sometimes food would be given, sometimes the dog would be punished and sometimes nothing would happen.

Around the same time that this genius was providing a reason for animal welfare another bunch of perverts were experimenting with children in the United States.

John B Watson in Johns Hopkins University Baltimore with his assistant Rosalie Rayner wondered could babies be conditioned to fear things that previously would have caused no concern whatsoever. He had previously shown that young children do not naturally fear animals. This should have been like a billboard to authorities.

Watson had access to an 11-month old baby known as Albert and he decided to teach Albert all about fear. Previous to this Albert was a normal healthy baby and didn’t seem to be afraid of anything other than loud noises. What was to follow became known as ‘Little Albert and the White Rat’ in the annals of behaviour control and modification.

Albert was not afraid of the rat.

Watson decided to see could he condition Albert to be afraid of the rat.

When the rat was introduced from then on, it was accompanied by Watson, striking a metal pipe with a hammer, behind Albert.

After seven such meetings Albert was terrified of the rat who now no longer required the loud noise at his introduction.

As an interesting side effect Albert was afraid of anything furry, a fur coat, a rabbit and even a Santa mask, all of which had introduced no anxiety prior to the conditioning.

Before it could be seen as to whether this conditioned behaviour would suffer extinction however Albert was taken home.

It was pretty obvious however that irrational fear seldom if ever is subjected to extinction, we avoid stuff that scares us and this usually prevents recognition of its cause and therefore avoids its cure.

In fact it seems to me that the consequences of Albert’s abuse would have been pretty predictable without the need for child abuse. For instance, what if somebody had kicked the living shite out of Watson every time he seen a baby? Or better still could he have not studied and helped to cure many young men wandering around at the time suffering from the extreme conditioned fear response known as shellshock?

It is an obvious observation to make that society was well into the ideas of mind control back then as we are now in that barbaric experimentation like this was allowed to and is allowed to happen.

It seems to me that progress should only be considered to have been made by and when victims are being studied, not created.

We got the good cop bad cop theme from one of the many Nazi interrogation techniques, in which the victim would eventually break down and attack the good cop and would see his will as secondary as to the will of his new master the bad cop. (It is funny that Liz O Donnell once accused Sinn Fein of collaborating with the Nazis, when we now collaborate with the idea of Nazism in how we administrate and police society. Eg Shannon Warport)

Of course there are some cool drugs too and God only knows how or why they were discovered. There’s good old sodium penathol which is referred to as truth serum. We have its successor too, and probably another one or two that surpass the results of this. These particular chemicals are hypnotics mostly derived from a barbituate base.

Hypnosis has been around a while, it is simple to do and anyone can get bit of paper proclaiming them capable.

There are many myths about hypnosis and most of them perpetrated and fostered by its practitioners. The biggest one of them being that one cannot be forced to act against one’s wishes, for example to murder somebody.

Lets have an imaginary hypnosis session, Ill be the practitioner and you be the subject. 3......2......1..... Fast asleep. When you awake you will find that you have no bellybutton. You will know that I took it and that if you are very, very good and especially nice to me I might give it back to you. 3.....2.....1..... Wide awake.

Can you envision that scenario? Could it work? If you believe this you are one step away from creating an assassin.

3......2.....1...... Fast asleep. Your next door neighbour is only pretending to be nice to you. He is luring you into a false sense of security. He hates you. He is plotting to kill you and your family tonight. The police have laughed at your suspicions. 3..........2.........1....... Wide awake.

Yes you could be turned into a killer without ever making you do something you didn’t want to do, you can be made to want to do it, everyone has a turning point.

Hypnosis is but one of the tools we can potentially burrow into the subconscious with. Subliminal advertising is auto-hypnosis and auto-suggestive.

What of the placebo effect? Science and medicine are becoming increasingly aware that up to one third of all illnesses that require medication are cured through the placebo effect.

In fact for a medication to be considered effective it must compete with the placebo effect and marginally better it.

For example if I boiled some lemon flavoured soft drink and made potions of Lemsip and gave ten hot former soft drinks to ten people suffering from colds and likewise gave ten Lemsips to another ten cold sufferers, telling all twenty of them that this was the latest and greatest example in our modern fight against the common cold, I would expect nobody to be cured. However some might be cured and I would put this down to the placebo effect.

This effect is rooted into the subconscious too, and shows that if we could tap its potential then one day we could say goodbye to drug pushing pharmaceutical companies. This is probably also the reason that we haven’t tapped this resource.

It is quite obvious that most drugs peddled legally in this country do no more than treat symptoms. I understand that symptoms hurt and cause misery, but I also understand the placebo effect can both treat the symptoms and their cause.

Tense nervous headache?

Turn off your TV. Short of these fuckers giving you one or triggering one to sell their drugs, you are not treating the cause of this illness, also you are accepting that there is no cure and that what they have to offer is as good as it gets. Say no to their drugs.

Doctors for years have told us to lay off the anti-biotics. Have we? Nope, and now we find that we have developed a tolerance for them and so too have the illnesses we treat with them just as was predicted.

The problem here was that drug pushers are not influenced by humanitarianism and just want to sell a product, the fact that the over production and over utilisation of them makes them ineffective is irrelevant.

I mean look at one of mans oldest companions, the common cold, if we did develop a cure for this illness it would bankrupt most drug lords who like to see their junkies keep coming back for more. So what are the chances of a cure ever seeing the light of day even if one is, or has been, discovered?

What of the government’s program of mixing a massive amount of fluoride with our water supply? I mean if they are so concerned about our health why not add some other additives like protein and vitamins (not genetically modified ones mind you). Conspiracy theorists claim that fluoride helps turn us into sheep so that we can be easily controlled by these zombies in government, I however reckon the fact that we allowed these arseholes to do this in the first place show that we already suffered from the slave mentality to begin with and therefore the conspiracy be null and void. It was a demonstration of our sheepishness and at best a pick me up, or a re-enforcement.

As I’ve said numerous times we pack our prisons with people who possessed banned drugs yet I know of no corporate or governmental criminals who were jailed for supplying actual harmful substances such as thalidomide, or for giving out hepatitis or other diseases that have caused many deaths and wrecked thousands of lives. (I’m not attacking healthcare workers here but government dirtbags who prolonged and continue their insult to victims.)

Here’s an interesting insight into the mindset of our society. A dirtbag who rapes a child or many children in fact can get a prison sentence of a couple of years or usually much less depending on the social standing of the pervert, yet if an inmate in prison strikes one of these maggots inside the prison they get a mandatory eight years tacked onto their sentence. These perverts also get more rights to visitation than the normal garden variety criminal.

Having said all this I do agree, that these people do have a psychiatric disorder but also believe separating them from their nuts would cure them. The Law giveth and the Law taketh away. I must also point out that any criminal offence that requires free will and action must also be considered a psychiatric disorder or a crime of ignorance. Yet when convicted non sexual offenders assault each other this does not entail a mandatory eight years. Not even within the prison system is there equality.

I believe this sends out a very powerful message and I leave it to the readers own discretion as to what this message may be.

What of genetically modified foods?

Who knows? This argument left the table years ago, but is interesting to note that no menu within any establishment that serves food to our government has genetically modified foods on it.

For anyone who follows those who do not lead by example or consent all I can say is, Baaa!

By its very idea, government is in a position of great trust, at every opportunity and every government in the pathetic history of our laughable state our elected betters have shown that we truly be the fools that they have supposed and have helped us to be.
