Psychological Warfare, and Mass (and/or Subliminal) Warfare

Posted on 06/25/2021 7:26:01 AM PDT by Bill of Rights FIRST

Ever notice when you watch or hear (not read to some extent) the supposed "news" on TV, on video, streaming, etc. their tone is one as if that told you they got back from a routine errand, slightly serious tone, anunciating certain words, slight or pronounced nods/etc. on certain words/phrases, eyebrow movements, featuring "on cue", etc.?

It is ALL Psychological Warfare, and Mass (&/or Subliminal) Warfare against the American populace and the U.S. Military since they are exposed/targeted with even more of it in supposed “training(s)”, briefs, “commands”, etc.

I have no doubt the US mainstream media is well practiced at propaganda methods, but I don’t understand exactly what you mean. examples?

This is my examples, read this then go watch and/or listen to the “news” yourself for constant examples:

Ever notice when you watch or hear (not read to some extent) the supposed “news” on TV, on video, streaming, etc. their tone is one as if that told you they got back from a routine errand, slightly serious tone, anunciating certain words, slight or pronounced nods/etc. on certain words/phrases, eyebrow movements, featuring “on cue”, etc.?

I’ve noticed them reading out exactly the same prejudicial adjectives when announcing the news. Its not the lab leak theory, its the lab leak conspiracy theory. Lots of scare quotes too, as in the lab leak “theory.”

Why its almost like they all got the same memo 🤔

That’s one of the reasons I never watch TV. “Newscasters” are experts at giving visual miscues to the watching public.

When watching a “news” video on youtube, et al, I’ll sometimes close my eyes and just listen.

Sorry to sound so cynical, but are you guys really so easy to hypnotize?
Couple of nods and long syllables and suddenly you’re barking like a dog and hopping on one foot?

The way television news announcers (and actually radio news announcers as well) are chosen is very interesting.

They are tested against focus groups for the reaction.

If they are consistently able to convince the focus group of something that is _not_ _true_, then they are hired.

That is the skill of a sociopath.

Television uses other techniques as well to “persuade” and hypnotize.

One of them is using graphics or video that moves up then down then up then down or left right left right left right.

Take a close look at an auto ad on TV (with the sound on mute so you can focus on the video). You will see it.

Likewise go a 24 hour news station, put it on mute, and just watch the graphics for a few minutes. You will see it there as well.

This “persuasion” technology is not perfect, but it is scary nonetheless.

It does seem about as subtle as Soviet propaganda, the repetition of the same phrases over and over again, and it does work in that I have lefty friends that spout catch phrases that are false until you point out that they are false, and prove it, and then they get confused/embarrassed. I think we all will play “follow the leader” and emulate people that we think are credible, and the way certain words bounce around a community are an example. Maybe they have weaponized it, or maybe we can go back to something in our own experience to understand some of what is going on. The Church is a community that has its own rhetoric. “Are you saved?” “Headship” “discipleship,” all sorts of words and phrases that have very specific meanings to an in-group. Politics learned to exploit that to make a single word mean a host of different things, “accountability” means very different things to different people, for example.

Good post.

Some folks are easier to persuade/manipulate than others—so that muddies the waters.

The kleptocrats can celebrate “mission accomplished” if they can use propaganda and hypnotic techniques to persuade half the population of something....

Two good book: “The Hidden Persuaders” by Vance Packard and “Subliminal Seduction” by Wilson Brian Key.

It used to get me, not anymore.

If it didn’t work, they wouldn’t do it.

Yep, it has less of a subliminal hypnotizing/psychological effect if you listen OR watch (with mute on).

When anyone/everyone listens AND watches at the same time, the subliminal hypnotizing/psychological effects are TOTAL/FULLY SUBLIMINALLY HYPNOTIZING/PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE..

Yep, unfortunately you are totally correct in all that that they do/the effects, etc.

Most “newscasters”/etc. are government operatives, etc.

They also have sound bites and pictures and video, etc. shown “on cue”, one right after the other, “randomly”, etc. for max subliminal brainwashing/psychological warfare (EVIL) effects.
