Who's Judging Whom?

I've been performing an experiment today.

Randomly throughout the day I've been turning on the radio. Every time...every single time...the first words to come out of the speakers have been Orlando, massacre, guns, or shootings.

Once the ecstatic self-serving media frenzy dies down, like the after-gloom of an unsatisfying episode of sex, things will go on. Nothing will change. We'll go on being cowed by affluent monied corporate interests, and voting in people who make the stasis inevitable.

We're getting what we deserve.

Certain bizarre right-wing media mouthpieces are once again ranting about "God's judgement on homosexuals". If Americans are under "judgement" it's not because of our sexual choices. It's about all the evil being done in our name all over the world...as well as here at home...things that are being advocated and supported by those same mouthpieces. They have a peculiar vision ailment that only allows them to see the "sins" of others, and never their own. And some of you will recognize what I'm talking about here...they still think that Rev. 3:20 is a "salvation verse". Claiming to understand and live by the Bible they are completely missing it.

Look Into My Eyes...You're Getting Sleepy

This is the most important aspect of everything that is going on around you in current political "news".

It is infinitely more important than Trump's latest inanity or why Bernie chose to give a speech at a Christian university.

As an example for my point I'll use a recent article that Latest.com posted about Bernie Sanders' visit to Liberty University.

One line in their article:

"Oddly, the response to this news was not impressed with Sanders reaching out a group he didn’t agree with, but questioned why he was going."

When media tell you what people are thinking, how people are responding, it is all a fabrication. Media are the transparent creators of what you think.

You don't even know that you see the media. You think you are looking at the topic of the moment, but you are seeing, hearing, and thinking what they want you to see, hear, and think. They are controlling you. You are only seeing ideas that they want to impose on your mind. It isn't exactly subliminal, but it is powerful and it is devious.

People take in the statements. The statements play upon innate drives to be a viable part of whatever is "trending" (a ridiculous concept to begin with)...and those drives have previously been implanted using the same methods.

Upon consideration the statements would reveal themselves to be vague and meaningless. Ask questions. ASK QUESTIONS! Who is responding this way? Was I responding this way before they told me how to respond? Are they forming my response without my even being aware of it? And what AREN'T they telling me?

Two words you should always mistrust when you hear them used together: "Some say..."

Yes, this is going to entail some activity on your part because you are going to have to find your own answers.

And those of you who are capable of more abstract complex thought...consider this: There is no such thing as an "objective documentary". The moment someone decides which way to point a camera and when to open the shutter subjectivity is running the show.
