Mind-control media: Brian Williams, fake science, and the reality egg
Brian William caught in his own trap
Cracking the reality egg
Notes and thoughts
By Jon Rappoport February 5, 2015 www.nomorefakenews.com
"If you want a winning role, act like a scientist. Talk like a scientist. Imagine that everything you say is backed by a study published in a peer-reviewed journal." (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)
Objectivity. What more could you want? What could be more objective than science? What could be less open to dispute? Who could be more authoritative than a scientist? What could influence public opinion more thoroughly than a whole group of scientists, an establishment of scientists, backed by the government?
Notice that when a news anchor takes an unimpeachable statement from a scientist, they both sound like scientists. The double whammy.
It impresses the rubes and yokels and even the well-educated viewers.
This is no accident.
It's a system of persuasion.
I published this quote yesterday. Here it is again:
"It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine." -Marcia Angell, MD ("Drug Companies and Doctors: A story of Corruption." NY Review of Books, Jan. 15, 2009.)
Essentially, Angell is saying that fraud dressed up to look like science is pervasive in official medical media.
So it is in the news business.
The veneer and the tone and pose of objectivity are a front, a con.
Take the breaking story of NBC's Brian Williams, "the most trusted name in news." He lied about being in a helicopter taking fire in Iraq in 2003. He admitted the lie yesterday, and in his confession he apparently lied again, giving the false impression that the helicopter right in front of his took the fire, when at least one soldier on the scene states that Williams' helicopter wasn't even in the same formation, but landed some time later.
The impact of Williams lying is magnified by his persona of objectivity, which is on display every night on NBC. The objective man was lying. He was making it up. He was faking it.
Consider the 2004 Pediatrics study which exonerated the MMR vaccine and claimed it was in no way connected to autism. Objective science. But last August, one of the authors of the study, William Thompson, a long-time researcher at the CDC, released a statement through his attorney, Rick Morgan, confessing that he and his co-authors had lied, omitted vital data, rigged the study, in order to give the vaccine a free pass.
An objective expert---a rank liar.
Centuries ago, when a ruling priest addressed an audience and shouted and pointed at the sky and warned of great danger and destruction, and told of curses, and laid out a path for appeasing the gods, he was considered an "objective authority." He wasn't accused of ranting.
Today, the appearance of scientific objectivity is the key. Whoever holds that key is considered an authority. Therefore, many, many people affect that pose. Especially in the news business.
In days gone by, priestly shouting was accepted as a truth-indicator and thus induced a trance. Today, the pose of science induces the trance.
Mainstream television news has staged itself as a "conveyer of science." Because it works.
This is the reality egg: the pose and appearance of scientific objectivity. This is how the egg is built.
But here is the truth. The egg, the enclosed dome are being built for us by messengers who appear to be objective. They're the narrators. They're the news princes and the "scientists." They're the key actors.
They can mix image and word and algorithm and computer model to prove anything, and in doing so they can act as if they're reporting facts---rather than building the egg.
The egg is there for one reason: to convince us that each one of us can't invent his own open realities, to convince us that we can't find ways to cooperate, as free and independent and powerful individuals, and crack the egg.
Their strategy and pose is failing. Badly.
Now that's a news story.
That has legs.

So a member of the leftist media establishment lied. What else is new?
What would be news is if one of them told the truth.
Excellent spot on piece.
I find it interesting how the weather twonks always say that it’s “Colder than average” if it’s cold, but “hotter than normal” if it’s hot. Rubes reporting and rubes consuming it.
So medicine and environmental science are now both fraudulent. What's next geology and tectonics?
The media’s are told through lofical fallacies. “Affirming the Antecedent, “Appeal to Authority” for example. Its all right there in U.S. Army psyops manual. Read it and you’ll understand every politician’s schtick.
LIES told through LOGICAL fallacies....
[ The History Channel had a documentary on the History Of Mankind that used Brian Williams extensively as a commentator. The last few segments were the biggest piece of PC crap I’d seen in a great while masquerading as world changing history. Brian Williams was used quite a bit. I sat through it but the nausea was excruciating. ]
The Ancient Aliens guy has more credibility now...

Time for a Giorgio Tsoukalos/Brian Williams meme.
What's the big deal? He was just following company policy.
Remember, the "mainstream" media operates on the standard of honesty that Dan Rather laid out in an interview with O'Reilly on May 15, 2001: "I think you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things.” http://archive.mrc.org/projects/rather20th/welcome.asp
