The Century of Self

This is a real good documentary to help clue you into how we got to where we are today. It is an Adam Curtis special illustrating how psychology, pubic relations, and the Sigmund Freud family captured and channeled mass consciousness. As a Christian, I see this totally playing into the prophesied "falling away".  As the Freudian influence on psychology waned, a new individualism took hold and was viewed as a means of further prompting demand for products. This began to play apart in the politics of the '80s, so I don't want the mention of Reagan to make all you Ron Reagan fans freak, as I find it a fascinating way to look at recent history with a fresh understanding. A word of warning  -the '60s part of the show is pretty icky as you can imagine. Anyway, you don't hear this at school or anywhere else.

Happy Mother's Day!

Gotta do a Mother's Day post with this blog entitled, The republican Mother and all.

 ¹²For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.
 ¹³As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
--Isaiah 66:12-13

This is one of my favorite "mother" scriptures that illustrates not only God's relationship toward Israel, but the ideal behavior of a mother and child. Notice that the mother is always present, holding the child at her side, bouncing him on her knee, and the nursing babe being satisfied.

 

I'll never forget being at a local park back when I just had two kids. A little girl about 9 years old had ridden her bike from some condos next door and was attracted to my baby girl.  She asked where my older girl went to school, and I said that she went to preschool a couple of days a week. Then she asked, but where does she go after that. I replied, "she goes home with me." The little girl looked down and said 'oh', real sad. It really hurt me that going home with your mom or having a mother available to you wouldn't have entered her mind. You have to be going to somewhere all of the time.

God's plan for raising mentally healthy persons is for someone to be there with them, pretty much all the time.  (Deut 6.) For those of you who think you would be nuts if you were around your kids all the time, that's the first sign you're going off the tracks. You see, a properly domesticated child is not a butt-wipe to be around. In fact, the older my kids get, the more helpful and mature they become. They're modeling their behavior after me, not a bunch of kids in a "lord of the flies" situation. We have arguments and all that fun stuff, but I can say that I can take all my kids to a restaurant by myself and not be embarrassed. 

So when people ask me "what I do", I reply, I help preserve Western Civilization by raising children who can write cursive, know their multiplication tables, can diagram a sentence, question authority, fear God, are immune to peer pressure, etc. Not necessarily in that order, but you know what I mean. I could probably be making a lot of money sitting in some office somewhere, but in the long run, having children who have discernment and wisdom of the Word will pay far more than any salary you can imagine.

Quality Journalism & Operation Mockingbird

If you have half a brain, you take everything the media tells you with an enormous grain of salt, an internet search, and your own personal investigation. On important things, anyway. I would just like to take moment and highlight the great journalism coming out of Russia Today. For example, RT correspondent Anastasia Churkina got an interview with the infamous Bill Ayers himself. I would think that would be an interview that any journalist worth their steno pad would want - a controversial figure tied up with domestic terrorism with extreme views. Maybe you could get him to reveal something telling. One thing about Ms. Churkina and the RT correspondents, they actually just ask a question and shut up for 3-5 minutes and let their subject answer the question in complete sentences. They don't interject any attitude and have a very clinical manner when performing interviews. Here's the interview with Bill Ayers:




Bill O'Reily flipped out for some reason as did the whole Fox News apparatus. I don't really understand why, but RT's rebuttal video is something I found humorous, especially after he accuses Anastasia of not speaking English and responds in perfect English.

Via The Government's Attic, come these excerpts from FOIA requests:

This is from a document labeled "Comments submitted to the CIA for the 1995 and 2005 decennial reviews of the operational files exemption, 1994 - 2005." This is a public comment of the decennial review:

"  Late 40's: Operation MOCKINGBIRD .... The CIA recruited American news organizations and journalists to become spies and disseminators of propaganda. Frank Wisner, Allan Dulles. Richard Helms and Philip Graham headed the effort. Graham was publisher of The Washington Post, Which became a major CIA. player; Eventually, the CIA's media assets included ABC, NBC, CBS, Time, Newsweek, Associated Press United Press International, Reuters, Hearst Newspapers. Scripps:-Howard, Copley News Service and more. By the CIA's own admission, at least 25 organizations and 400 journalists became ClA assets.

It's like David Rockefeller, the most elite of the elite said in Germany at the 1991 Bilderburg  Trilateral meeting in Baden, Germany:

"We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time
Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended
our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost
forty years."

"It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world
if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years.
But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national
auto-determination practiced in past centuries."

When you put aside the notion that every American is as loyal to the Constitution as you are, things begin to make a lot more sense. It is more than obvious that those who have been running our country since 1913 are not loyal to the principles and ideals of the Constitution. Some of these elite "play-act" like they're all red, white, and blue, but their actions, which are not reported by the Mockingbird media expose where their true loyalties lie. The Bible prophesied that the last days would be a time of great deception and here we are witnessing it! That's pretty exciting for the blood-bought.

Demoralization of ideas - Mass Culture

You know how the old folks said that rock and roll was the devil's music? They were right. Don't roll your eyes so fast, read what Yuri, aka Tomas Shuman has to say:

Years ago, when I was scanning through a pile of Western newspapers in Novosti's Moscow headquarters, I came across a column written by a Canadian writer, Gregory Clark in the “Toronto Star.” Here it is in full. I have saved it for my files:

If I were a Communist agent in America with millions of dollars to spend annually I would not waste it in bribing pubic servants to give away state secrets. But I would lavish and encourage the sleazy tune-smiths of that region to turnout more and more garage 'culture'... Gaggled-headed and obscure musicians would be helped to prominence. I would seek out the more questionable publishers of the dirtier paperbacks and slip them a few hundred thousand so they could set up more respectable head offices. Wherever trend shows towards the beat generation I would offer it a helping hand. Anything that prompted the insubordination of teenagers, anything that contributes to the confusion and exasperation of parents would be most liberally endowed. The basic intention of my spending would be to break down the discipline, encourage relaxation of authority of every kind so as to build up, in as short time as possible, an adult generation that could easily go out of control.

America would look desperately around for any kind of discipline to rescue them and THERE-- pretty as a picture, would be Communism, the most iron-fisted discipline since Sparta. The victory would be bloodless... Except of course in concentration camps, torture, prisons, and few things like that. But nobody would know about that because of censorship of the press.

This was written in 1959! The accuracy of this description of OUR activity stunned me. We had just completed 'helping a gaggle-headed' Communist entertainer, Yves Montand to 'prominence' in Moscow and were halfway through with publicly elevating 'obscure' Indian filmmaker Raj Kapoor to 'fame.’ The editorial offices of Novosti were teaming with 'sleazy' foreign singers, poets, writers, artists, musicians and 'intellectuals' coming to my country for support in their 'progressive struggle' against their own 'decadent capitalist' societies...

There is not much I can add to that statement of a wise Canadian columnist today. Yes, KGB encourages DEMORALIZATION of America through the 'mass culture' by relying upon the help of the “useful idiots” of the entertainment business. No, the Beatles, Punks and Michael Jackson are not on the KGB payroll. They are on YOUR payroll. All the KGB had to do is to slowly and gradually CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDES and kill your RESISTANCE to the demoralizing addiction your kids call 'music,’ make it acceptable, NORMAL; make it a part of 'American culture' where it does not belong and never did.

I've heard conservative pundits say this administration is out of control. Is this by design?  I've heard all my life that the country went of the rails in the sixties when the attitudes of the Baby Boomers broke from the traditional norms. Maybe Joe McCarthy had a point. You remember how much the textbooks discredit him, right? (For those not following this series, discredit was a recent vocabulary word in the demoralizing media post.)

I discussed the reasons for things following apart in the Boomer era in the previous posts on education and religion. Just think about how our society, the media, education system, etc. discourages traditional authority: God, elders, and parents. It works day and night to replace them with the authority of government, peer groups, and "anything goes" as long as it doesn't go against government and mass artificial morality (whatever is political correct at the time.)

There's another dimension to the pop culture phenomenon that is destabilizing to our society and that is the fad aspect. Everybody's talking (morons who don't know what voting district they're in) about American Idol or some such nonsense and don't realize that they're being led to the slaughter. In this way, pop culture has a hypnotizing effect on a population, like a snake before it eats the prey.


Here's my relevant pop culture analogy: The Soviet/commie/collectivist subversion of our country is like the Dharma Initiative. It set up a hatch connected to a button that had to be pushed every so often. The commies set the demoralization process. Like Dharma, the Soviet union is no more, or so they say, but the button is still being pushed by American citizens. However, instead of the button pushing saving lives, it destroys them one divorce, one lost freedom, and one lost soul at a time.

These things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you. As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him. Now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming. If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of Him. --- I John 2:26-28
