Media ILLusions


 In George Orwell's famous novel '1984,' the country Oceania had a powerful, centralized, state-run media service called the Ministry of Truth.

This government agency--sometimes called just 'MiniTrue' for short--produced the TV, movies, radio broadcasts, books, magazines, newspapers, textbooks, and News of all kinds. It had a monopoly over media.

The function of all that media--100% propaganda--was barely to inform or entertain, and almost totally to establish firm thought control over what the country's people thought, felt and did, at nearly all times--even renegade criminals and sociopaths.

Are we not 'lucky' to be Free of this kind of thing in America today? No, we are not, I tell you. 

Since sometime in the past--perhaps when the Federal government, under Abraham Lincoln, seized control of Press--we have centralized, state-run media, too.

This is not a bad thing. It promotes politically correct--but dialectical--discourse, thinking, and behavior.


Example MiniTrue program--a music video:



How could media control us? A short educational program:


A pop song on how news propaganda effects some people out in TV land. They get all 'het up...'

I distributed boxes of kleenex and invited neighbors to visit my apartment. 2024-10-03: I just dropped all my Spring 2025 classes at CSU. I can’t go to school because I am too physically crippled, they keep drugging me with poisons, and Bob and the PMs won't leave me alone. I see the grand conspiracy around me (they just flooded my apartment again), and I can barely survive, let alone try to return to school.I have no one backing me up. I’m withdrawing (and being driven away) from online chatting and discussion forums. They never ever work or help. Broadcast TV is just as bad as I expected it to be: lesbian-land and civic lies. And pretty much streaming TV is like that, too. In fact nearly all media are like that. Boy, does my life suck!  I’m...

EXISTENTIAL MEDITATION ON SCIENCE, RELIGION, AND SCIENTISM 2019-01-19 + The science within faith: science and skepticism’s place within religious subcultures, which some (especially fundamentalists) see as corruption. ÷ The faith within science: the faith in retrospective science (especially if time flows both ways), uniformity, the law of averages, and reduction. × The place for scientists of faith (including fundamentalists and atheists). = The cases for and against stealing, lying, cheating, killing, torture, rape, terrorism, and warfare (especially as expedients). > The problems with sampling, rounding, uncertainty, ridiculous inference, cultural biases (like racism), and no randomizing being available. # Dreading nihilism and absurdity: Looking for a cozy hole in the Void left when God died (see: behaviorism, Holocaust). $ You are “here" and then “after” that where? % The perils of omnipotence, omniscience, and one-stop shopping: considering the source of evil and sufferi...
