3/24/23: POLY WANNA CRISIS

We are a nation more seriously divided than in the 1960s when movements against war and racism pulled families and communities apart and drove some to drugs, drink, and worse.

We are now approaching a greater and more threatening social dissolution.

When more than 74 million people can be reduced to “white supremacists” by alleged liberals with the same ease that past supposed conservatives were led to see a communist fiend behind every supporter of unity among people we are indeed in a time of all American hate crimes, thought crimes and worse.

Those labels are being flung about by one or another bunch of hateful bigots, loving humanitarians or usually, both.

It is a hate-for-hate battle and doesn’t fool yourselves into thinking that one side is more tolerant than others — and that one of the sides that claim to be all-inclusive, and accepting are just as shallow and uptight as their counterparts.

It is evident just how easy it is the create an echo chamber of those who hate — that claim that they are pure and loving of every creed, race and sexual orientation.

We all seem to be unaware of what fuels –and it can be easily explained away through successful programming and psychological operations.

I am intrigued by the Trump will-be arrested headlines and how it was leaked that he would be arrested on Tuesday and has still not been apprehended and cuffed by police.

Do you know what is comical?

I am realizing that he was probably the most honest president in American history– not that he was always a truth-teller– but what you saw is what you got. He obviously didn’t want to hide his warts because the media saw to it lift his orange mask and make him the most horrible and dishonest man in history.

he spoke whatever little he could think of and was understandable to tens of millions who had no idea what the hell their government is doing other than ripping them off.

His over-the-top egomania threatened minority rule by making it all too clear how rich, egotistical, murderous and dumb past American rule has been on the global stage.

His victory was immediately attacked by ruling powers because of the threat he represented by exposing the reality of America as the egocentric brutal global force it is instead of the mythological land of the free and the brave reduced to murdering foreigners and consigning millions of citizens to poverty and waste only due to evil Russians or Chinese or Iranians while manipulating good people into the need for creating salvation for suffering immigrants who really represent cheap labor and greater profits for capital while poverty-stricken Americans grow in number by the microsecond.

The fear-mongering and hysterical over-reactions to what he said in public have put us at an all-time low — as we are still being told that he is facing arrest — and what is, even more, is that there are deep fake pictures going viral on the internet showing him running away from police, and later being tackled — as Melania looks shocked and angry.

The highly detailed, sensational images have inundated Twitter and other platforms in recent days, amid news that Trump faces possible criminal charges and the International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Putin.

But neither visual is real. The images — and scores of variations littering social media — were produced using increasingly sophisticated and widely accessible image generators powered by artificial intelligence.

Misinformation experts warn the images are harbingers of a new reality: waves of fake photos and videos flooding social media after major news events and further muddying fact and fiction at crucial times for society.

While the ability to manipulate photos and create fake images isn’t new, AI image generator tools by Midjourney, DALL-E and others are easier to use. They can quickly generate realistic images — complete with detailed backgrounds — on a mass scale with little more than a simple text prompt from users.

Some of the recent images have been driven by this month’s release of a new version of Midjourney’s text-to-image synthesis model, which can, among other things, now produce convincing images mimicking the style of news agency photos.

In one widely-circulating Twitter thread, Eliot Higgins, founder of Bellingcat, a Netherlands-based investigative journalism collective, used the latest version of the tool to conjure up scores of dramatic images of Trump’s fictional arrest.

The visuals, which have been shared and liked tens of thousands of times, showed a crowd of uniformed officers grabbing Trump and violently pulling him down onto the pavement.

Higgins, who was also behind a set of images of Putin being arrested, put on trial and then imprisoned, says he posted the images with no ill intent. He even stated clearly in his Twitter thread that the images were AI-generated.

Still, the images were enough to get him locked out of the Midjourney server, according to Higgins.

And of course, this creates a debate about free speech– but many times pictures such as these are published without context. If the simulation is convincing there will be those that will register them in their subconscious as real content — even if they are printed with a disclaimer stating they are fake.

It is an unintentional hyper-real psy-op. Or maybe it is intentional so that the seeds of group recall will go back and say they remember that both Putin and Trump were arrested together for collusion or some other strange charges.

I know that this may sound ludicrous at first — but the mind registers mages all the time and the context is lost over time and recall tends to deceive.

Think of it as proof if effective predictive programming in order to trigger a false public recall. One that later generations will recall as fact — like an accidentally created Mandela Effect.

Hyperreality has always been said to create a byproduct of unreality that the mind will accept as fact.

As we have discussed in previous shows, hyperreality is a term coined by Jean Baudrillard which is associated with the effects of mass culture reproduction, or rebooting suggesting that an object, event, or experience can be reproduced and is later replaced and or preferred over the original.

When we are subjected to media hyper-inoculations of information, our minds can interpret it in various ways that could create one version of history rather than what is accepted history.

It is as if, little by little, small facts or tidbits of information have been changed intentionally by what can be called reality controllers, an Orwellian idea where in the book, 1984, Winston Smith worked as a clerk in the Records Department of the Ministry of Truth, where his job was to rewrite historical documents so they matched the constantly changing current party line.

There is a mode of thought that if a simulation is so accurate that the brain can’t tell the difference — it usually chooses the facsimile because the brain registers both simulations and reality and reacts to it equally.

It is like when you are lost in a movie, and there is a jump scare. Your body reacts to the simulation. When a magic trick is performed well the brain for a moment rejects the idea of it being a trick and accepts the illusion as reality.

Seeing is no longer believing as we are in times of artificial intelligence, where computers and self-operating collective intelligence can fool you into thinking it is real and not a synthetic facsimile.

Here is another example of what I mean.

The Fox Television Network aired the “Alien Autopsy: Fact or Fiction” special with Jonathan Frakes as host. The special was aired twice on Fox and each time there was in excess of 17 million viewers. Time Magazine compared it to the Zapruder film, saying that no other film has had so much intense debate since the movie that showed Kennedy’s brains being blown out in Dallas.

You have probably watched it so many times that just the mention of it appears in your mind’s eye.

The alien autopsy film was said to be a hoax, however a German film collector, Volker Spielberg bought the rights to the film for an untold sum of money claiming the film was real footage from a German alien autopsy in the 1940s.

Each viewer, regardless of whether or not it was a hoax, now has that snuff film in their consciousness and the ritualistic autopsy that some believed was a satanic ritual performed on a human.

The truth is that those who watched the television special do not realize that, even though your eyes saw an alien being cut up, you were also sub textually watching a human being, or an anthropomorphic facsimile being butchered on prime time television.

If you were one of the fortunate to see it — buried in your subconscious is that image — and there is always a chance that an experience you may have in reality would trigger a response in your brain that plays it back as a real and familiar experience.

The same can be said of the 911 attacks– as it was said that the average American totaled a compiled 48 hours of viewing repetitive images of the towers burning, and a plane crashing. And the final collapse.

There was less viewing of the Pentagon.

But after the Towers were brought down — there were increased video rentals of Independence day as people needed mentally relive the moments by watching aliens destroy landmarks on Earth.

Memes were planted with that film and the public psyche was already programmed with images of buildings being flattened and blown up. On September 11th, 2001 Ron Insana of MSNBC was in a studio covered in the dust of the twin towers. Insana saw the first tower come down as he was meeting with Wall Street executives to file a report. As the buildings came down he described the event as being just like a scene in the movie Independence Day.

What he inadvertently did was create a relationship between a fictional alien invasion with that of an attack on the United States. The words created a picture in some people and I am sure the meme spread. The scenes in the movie subconsciously played out in reality as all good predictive programming does.

The scenes of people stepping out of their cars to see the huge ships are as uncannily similar to people in home videos staring at the burning towers. In the film, the buildings were leveled to the ground from the top down. We saw the same scenario play out on September the 11th, 2001 as the Twin Towers and Building 7 fell top downward.

According to a report that was submitted to the entertainment “Business Wire” in 2001, the movie Independence Day saw a surge in rentals after the attacks on the World Trade Center. One week before the attacks Independence Day was listed at number 910 on the home rentals charts. After the attacks, it surged to 310. That is a 360 percent increase in rentals after the attacks.

The question is why the growth in revenue? What compelled people after witnessing the destruction of the Manhattan skyline to go back and watch the fictional destruction of the Manhattan skyline?

Was something triggered in our collective unconscious?

This is what happens with good predictive programming — a psychological operation that created a fictional event that later became a real event that triggered an obsession over group recall.

Eventually, it is said that perhaps it will all blur together in the mind and that the images in the film will smear together with the memories of September 11th.

This is why we need some laws or even guidelines as to how we preserve our cognitive liberty.

Deepfakes, AI and virtual reality are blurring the line between reality and a computer-generated illusion. Powered by AI software, deep fake audio and video move us into an age where it is almost impossible to discern what is real, especially as it relates to truth and disinformation. At the same time, the technology sector continues to use virtual reality to develop a digital universe—the metaverse—that is envisioned as being the next step in our evolutionary transformation from a human-driven society to a technological one.

Advances in technology are outstripping our ability to protect ourselves from its menacing side, both in times of rights, humanity and workforce.

In the absence of constitutional protections in place to guard against encroachments on our rights in the electronic realm, we desperately need an Electronic Bill of Rights that protects “we the people” from predatory cognitive attacks that can deceive us for the benefit of the few–who want us to recall a history built in their image.

This illustrates full well Orwell’s 1984 where the controllers wanted to erase history and remold it in a new image.

It is obvious that not only do the world leaders want to erase the past and forge on with a fake history — they all wish to traumatize us with more harsh hyperreality, where they stage and create a false scarcity, and destroy our legacy systems and our way of life.

The world is apparently descending into chaos. With events such as the recent collapse of SVB bank adding to the problems allegedly caused by the war in Ukraine, it is easy to feel overwhelmed.

Only a few years ago it was widely recognized that, by nearly every measure, global life outcomes were all improving. Suddenly, we’re all haunted by the specters of conquest, war, famine and death.

Those who were trying to change the global outcome were either shamed, killed or are now being sought for arrest. Oppression has no boundaries or borders.
