If the hype surrounding this movie is to be believed, it will tell the “true” story of the American space program that put a man on the moon.
When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in a rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less'
'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.'
'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master—that's all.'
Turns out that government Ministers met with mainstream media bosses during covid to tell them to put pro-vaccine storylines in popular TV shows such as Coronation Street.
They met in secret with ITV, BBC and Channel 4, Channel 5, Sky and more with the government talking about ”national unity programming”.
In other words, they wanted mainstream media like the BBC to ”program” people into accepting the vaccine narrative. Incredible. I thought this was supposed to be a free country?
It appears that the infamous clapping at night to show appreciation for hospital workers was promoted by Channel 4 as part of the ”national unity programming”.
Remember when BBC claims they aren’t state media? Well, they are. And they push propaganda.
”What this demonstrates is that during Covid, the government reduced the broadcasters to mere arms of the state” – said Sir David Davis, former Brexit Secretary.
The weird thing is, this began very early on, way before the covid vaccines had been developed (at least from what we have been told).
Already on 2nd February 2020, which is long before the first lockdowns even began, government officials met with the chief at ITV where they had agreed to talk with them about ”vaccine messaging” agenda.
Wait, there wasn’t even any covid vaccine on the market yet and the lockdowns hadn’t even begun. Why were they discussing vaccine propaganda so early on? Something doesn’t seem right here…
The Debt Ceiling is a fake Uniparty weapon used to stop reform and push renewing the status quo using fake time-limits before "Ceiling is reached" that don't exist
Especially in the male brain, the arousal to fight seems to originate in the same neural circuitry as sexual arousal, and the closely related desire of young men to prove themselves in the eyes of young women.
Shortly after the British government declared war on Germany on August 4, 1914, young women were deployed in British cities to approach young men on the streets and ask them why—by all appearances—they hadn’t yet enlisted.
When a German U-Boat torpedoed the Lusitania—which was carrying over 4 million rounds of machine gun ammunition from the U.S. to Britain—the British government created potent propaganda using various imagery of drowned maidens and young mothers clutching their infants as they sank to the bottom of the Atlantic.
In the United States, various parties who wanted American participation in the war—especially banking interests—published equally potent propaganda to drum up fear and loathing of Germany.
No matter how many U.S. military adventures abroad fail and are later revealed to have been launched under false pretenses, large swaths of the American public can be easily manipulated to support yet another foolhardy and costly adventure. Humans are absolute suckers for war propaganda.
I recently encountered this C. S. Lewis quote from his 1945 book That Hideous Strength:
"Why you fool, it’s the educated reader who CAN be gulled. All our difficulty comes with the others.
When did you meet a workman who believes the papers? He takes it for granted that they’re all propaganda and skips the leading articles. He buys his paper for the football results and the little paragraphs about girls falling out of windows and corpses found in Mayfair flats. He is our problem. We have to recondition him.
But the educated public, the people who read the high-brow weeklies, don’t need reconditioning. They’re all right already. They’ll believe anything."
