Leaving the Matrix

GlobeFolks when you watch your favorite, trusted news announcer on TV, please remember that 90% of the media are owned by only six corporations with interlocking boards of directors who owe their continued existence, their monopolies and much of their profitability to the very government they are reporting on. You may think that this or that TV personality is trustworthy, but the corporate boards and the editors make sure they tow the officially promulgated line. In sum, you are being served sugar-coated BS. These announcers may be prettier than you or more articulate than you, and they may make more money than you, but BS is BS.  It’s time we all stop worshiping at the altar of government propaganda, pull our collective heads out and leave the matrix.

-David Brown

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. …We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. …In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons…who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.”  –Edward Bernays
