Furthermore, the evisceration of education
fuses with the dumbed down escapism and fictions of television
to create a population addiction to and reliant on modern
civilization's new drug
of choice. In television,
the
Establishment and the government it owns
have found the most powerful tool at their disposal to control, condition and manipulate
a population to the dictates of power. Simply put, the
television
has become, in the span of a few decades, the fireworks erupting in the
wet dreams of every Joseph Goebbels
alive today, a propagandist's manna from heaven and the Establishment's
weapon of choice in the pursuit of mind control and thought
manipulation.

A few months before I was born,
my Dad met a stranger who was new to our small Tennessee town. From the
beginning, Dad was fascinated with this enchanting newcomer and soon
invited him to live with our family. The stranger was quickly accepted
and was around to welcome me into the world a few months later.
As I grew up, I never questioned his place in my family. In my young
mind, he had a special niche. My parents were complementary
instructors: Mom taught me the word of God,
and Dad taught me to obey
it. But the stranger?
He was our storyteller. He would keep us
spellbound for hours on end with adventures, mysteries and comedies. If
I wanted to know anything about politics, history or science, he always
knew the answers about the past, understood the present and even seemed
able to predict the future! He took my family to the first major
league ball game. He made me laugh, and he made me cry. The
stranger
never stopped talking, but Dad didn't seem to mind.
Sometimes Mom would get up quietly while the rest of us were shushing
each other to listen to what he had to say, and she would go to
her
room and read her books. (I wonder now if she ever prayed for the
stranger to leave.)
Dad ruled our household with certain moral convictions, but the
stranger never felt obligated to honor them. Profanity, for
example,
was not allowed in our home... not from us, our friends or any
visitors. Our long-time visitor, however, got away with
four-letter
words that burned my ears and made my dad squirm and my mother blush.
My Dad was a teatotaler who didn't permit alcohol in the home, not even
for cooking. But the stranger encouraged us to try it on a regular
basis. He made cigarettes look cool, cigars manly and pipes
distinguished. He talked freely (much too freely!) about sex. His
comments were sometimes blatant, sometimes suggestive, and generally
embarrassing. I now know that my early concepts about relationships
were influenced strongly by the stranger. Time after time, he opposed
the values of my parents, yet he was seldom rebuked... and NEVER
asked
to leave.
More than fifty years have passed since the stranger moved in with our
family. He has blended right in and is not nearly as fascinating as he
was at first.
Still, if you were to walk into my parents' den today you would still
find him sitting over in his corner, waiting for someone to listen to
him talk and watch him draw his pictures.
His name? We just call him TV.

I hope this finds all of the Strait Truth forum well and in good
spirit.
Many have claimed religion is the opiate of the masses. Since an opiate "distorts one view of
reality" this is a correct statement.
Humans rely on religion to rationalize and justify their belief in
fairy tales.
Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are actually part
of the apostate modern day christian belief system.
Most christians who accept modern day teachings disregard the fact
these holi-days, stolen
obviously from the Creator's Holy Days, are steeped in pagan origins.
Pagan origins, a belief system separate from the actual Truth found in the teachings of
our Creator. Pagan people, those outside of the Truth of the Creator.
Humans also use religion to wait on fairy tale events such as the rapture. This event, an
event which is always in the future, makes it possible for millions of
so called followers of the Christ, the spiritual SON to remain blind
and dumb. They use these children's stories to dismiss their
accountability of our sins.
We have all witnessed video footage of the recent Tsunami events.
I was dumbfounded to witness a man standing at the ocean's shore
watching one of the waves approaching him. Like a deer in the
headlights of an oncoming vehicle he stood their frozen, unable to
comprehend his impending doom. Sure enough he was overcome by the wave
and disappeared into the water never to be seen again. This reminded me
of the millions of christians who wait on their savior to rapture them
away from a world they are
helping destroy. This man was dragged back into the sea. If
christians don't wake up REAL SOON they will be washed
away as well.
All mass manipulation has a delivery
system.
Opiates must be injected or inhaled.
Tsunami's are caused by a disruption to the ocean floor. (Evil mankind has the technology to do this)
Modern day christianity, churchianity, is delivered by and
controlled by the adversary Satan. Satan calls upon his minnions to
deliver his lies either in person or via the greatest delivery system
of this time, television.
Ah, the modern marvel television. Visions
implanted via electronic signal and accepted through the eyes and ears
of a human.
Television has been, and will be used to rewrite
history and educate a dumbed down human race
into believing fair tales and lies of the greatest proportion.
For nearly 45 days after all the christians gave thanks on
thanksgiving, another lie, they were inundated with subliminal messages
as to why they should run out and spend their money on behalf of a
jolly old st. nick. Like good little slaves
they cut down millions of trees, adorned them with silly trinkets and
worshipped commercialism and Satan himself.

Denunciations of television have become as routine as breathing: the programming is crass, stupid, propagandistic, so bad that only an idiot would watch it yet everybody does. Actually things are worse. They are much worse.
To see what is happening, start with what may be the crucial truth of our times: People will watch a screen. They will watch anything in preference to nothing, watch programs they don't really like, comedies so unfunny that only the laugh track tells them when to respond. The bright know that the fare is witless, that it is directed at fools. The ads irritate them. Yet they too watch.

It started innocuously enough. On Monday, June 21, a producer from Fox
News's The O'Reilly Factor called to ask me to appear as a
guest that evening to comment on a front-page story in the New York
Times
claiming that the Bush Administration had overstated the value of
intelligence gained at Guantánamo and the dangers posed by the
men
detained there. I'm generally not a fan of shout-television,
and I had
declined several prior invitations to appear on O'Reilly's show, but
this time I said yes. Little did I know it would not only be my first
time, but also my last.

The truth is at once simpler and more horrifying than anyone could
conceive.
A satanic cult headquartered in the City of London holds mankind in
bondage.
They worship Lucifer and are determined to redefine reality and rule
the planet. If you owned an unseemly proportion of the world's wealth,
would you share it with the ignorant masses? Wouldn't you teach that
God is dead, and Truth and Justice are not absolute and universal?
http://i.am/jah/300.htm
The religion to fear is Satanism, which has infiltrated Freemasonry and
most other religions, institutions and groups. Secret Satanists control
the levers of power: credit, mass media, education, government and the
church. They pay lip service to Christianity to deceive us.
http://i.am/jah/darth.htm
This cult is gradually corrupting and
dehumanizing, conditioning us to
passively accept a police state (New World Order).
They lull and
distract while they eliminate our freedoms and prepare for repression,
using phony "terrorism" as a pretext.
In a 1961 lecture, Aldous Huxley described
this police state as "the
final revolution": a "dictatorship without tears" where people "love
their servitude."
He said the goal is to produce " a kind of painless concentration camp
for entire societies so that people will in fact have their liberties
taken away ... but ... will be distracted from any desire to rebel by
propaganda or brainwashing ... enhanced by pharmacological methods."
http://i.am/jah/drugs.htm
Among these " pharmacological methods" we can now recognize Ritalin,
Prozac and Viagra, which healthy men commonly use. Doctors are elite
dealers designated to addict and sedate society. A document entitled
"Quiet Weapons for Silent Wars" confirms this is part of the quiet war
against humanity.
http://i.am/jah/why.htm
A new study appearing in the April issue of Pediatrics concludes that children who watch television experience shortened attention spans and considerably enhances the chances, based on number of hours of television watched, of developing ADDs (attention deficit disorders) later on in life. The American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended that children under the age of two not watch television and this new study seems to validate such a recommendation.

No, it´s not real. It´s a short segment from the movie "Wag The Dog" (
Tagline: A Hollywood producer. A Washington spin-doctor. When they get together, they can make you believe anything.)
Are you sure absolutely sure your government wouldn´t do something similar in reality? I advice you all to look into it...

Dear All,
We hope this finds you well and in good spirit.
Not to argue semantics here, but we believe you have missed the
point of the article. This is about control... control over every
aspect of your life... to the point of servitude (slavery) to the beast system. The Zionist so called "Jewish" Elite control all of
the main stream media in this country. We have forwarded many articles
revealing this fact. Disney is but one of the eight major corporate
media conglomerates.
Christ's Revelation to his
Apostle John 2:9 I know thy
works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know]
the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are NOT, but [are]
(Idumeans) the synagogue of Satan.
Have you ever seen the movie "The Wizard of
Oz"? Well hopefully you have. In the end the little dog Toto
unmasks the power behind the wizard by pulling back the "curtain"
revealing a selfish old man pulling a bunch of levers, by which he
controls the "grand illusion". The old man has no more power to grant
any wishes to the "seekers", than any other person on this planet. We
have all been mind-controlled from cradle to grave to keep us all away
from The Truth, which is True Freedom in servitude to God, through His
Laws (The Way).
Have you seen the new movie "The Last Samurai" with Tom Cruz? The
Samurai, through constant discipline, focus, pursuit of Truth and
practice to perfection, live in relative peace and harmony with nature.
They do so by living by 'The Way of The Sword' (a.k.a. The Truth). We
are told in the movie that they lived harmoniously for a thousand years
this way until greedy and evil men attack them to destroy all that they
stand for, calling them the barbarians in the process. http://i.am/jah/defin.htm

I just saw an episode of the popular TV-series "24" starring Kiefer Sutherland and was amazed how filled with brainwashing/propaganda contents it was. Googled around for some articles about this, and below is an article I´ve found...

Police State Product Placement
http://www.prisonplanet.com/jones_report_010603_product.html
Alex Jones January 6 2003
Five years ago I would talk about a New World Order, a global government, an international criminal court, a world taxation system, a pan-American union. About half the callers to my radio show didn't believe me and said that I was making it all up. Now we don't get those callers and my show is conservatively a hundred times larger. Along with a massive expansion of affiliates that cover 35 states, I also have one of the biggest Internet listening audiences out there.
Now that the show has grown, you don't hear people calling in and saying 'the UN isn't going to take over' or 'there is no international criminal court' or 'there is no plan to destroy America from within'. I got on the air with the documents year after year along with many other great broadcasters and writers and told people what was going to happen. Now they've seen it happen on the nightly news, albeit with the Globalist spin on it saying it's all a good idea and we should just accept it. People still aren't taking enough action against the agenda because they feel as though they don't have any power. Believe me, you do have power. This global plantation will not succeed unless you forget your responsibility and don't get involved.
One of the most prominent and overriding factors that threatens us is distraction.
I was doing a broadcast in which we had a lot of callers from all over the country. Several of them would call in and bring up issues that we could not prove, issues that are speculative. I don't do that. I know the overall Globalist plan, what they're putting out, what their propaganda is and what their training is for their minions, so I will communicate to you what their long-term strategic goals are. They have said that they're going to use terrorism to convince us to accept this tyranny. It's all out in the open, so all I really do is project what's going to happen in the future from the voluminous data that suggests the future itself is set in stone unless we resist it.
The Globalists have a tactic whereby they will bind with a poison pill and piggyback kooky things with real factual evidence. They have a plethora of overnight nationally syndicated talk show hosts on air all week and every weekend, television and movie scripts, which discuss thing like FEMA taking over and putting us all in camps and tyrannical world government. But then it will be followed with something like 'it's run from the South Pole by aliens' or 'it's run out of Area 51 by demons' - just incredibly ridiculous stuff. Then you have popular authors who will write about how the Federal Reserve is private and run for profit or how there is a Bilderberg group but will then go on to say 'oh, by the way, it's blood-drinking reptoid lizards from the 4th dimension, they run the whole show'. This kind of drivel is promoted and given airtime by the establishment. You can see it on shows like The X-Files - FEMA's in control, there's a secret government, but it's the aliens. So then when I get on the air and read out of UPI about FEMA's plans for mass round-ups, the average person listening has been inoculated against what I'm saying. They automatically say 'oh you mean space aliens, ha ha ha'.

Playing piano in the war whorehouse
CNN journalist Christiane Amanpour says the US media allowed themselves to be 'intimidated' into following the US official line in Iraq. Veteran journalist Nicholas von Hoffman takes a tougher view... Simply put,' he argues, 'the American mass media put itself at the service of the state'.
On 24 June 1876, elements of the United States Army's 7th Cavalry Division, commanded by George Armstrong Custer, engaged a group of Sioux and Cheyenne braves led by Chief Sitting Bull at Little Big Horn, Montana. The skirmish that ensued resulted in the death of Custer and all of his 250 men --twice the number of fatalities so far sustained by the United States 127 years later in its "war" with Iraq.
Like many a sight seen in the deserts through which the US military's Humvee jeeps drove this winter, the war was mostly mirage, something that evidently escaped the notice of the hundreds of correspondents sent to cover it. What one overheated television reporter compared to the Battle of the Somme was little more than what in Los Angeles they call a drive-by shooting.
It is only a mild exaggeration to say that American service personnel in Iraq were in greater danger from absent-mindedly-driven Coca-Cola trucks than from the opposing army, which had less firepower than that deployed by the police department in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Conquering by bribing people on the other side is an ancient and civilised form of warfare and if it was practised by the United States in Iraq it would explain the absence of anything that can remotely be called a battle. Evidence supporting the great non-conflict hypothesis surfaced in an article by Vago Muradian in the 19 May edition of Defense News, an arms industry publication living on the best of terms with the Pentagon brass.
The article quotes General Tommy Franks, the man who ran the alleged war, as saying, by way of an explanation for the absurdly easy American victory, "I had letters from Iraqi Generals saying, 'I now work for you.'" Another Pentagon official told the reporter, ". . . we knew how many of these [Iraqi generals] were going to call in sick."
And finally there is this quotation: "What is the effect you want? How much does a cruise missile cost? Between US$1 and $2 million. Well, a bribe is a PGM, a much cheaper precision-guided munition; "it achieves the aim but it's bloodless and there is zero collateral damage."
The news that there was no war because the other side was paid to take a family leave day was picked up by Fred Kaplan, one of the best military journalists about, who published these good tidings on the internet in Slate magazine on 20 May - and there the story died.
