NASA Photographer "We Can't Manipulate Images"

I'm so glad that NASA has someone assure us there is no photo fakery allowed at NASA. What a complete joke.

Orwell’s 1984 Coming To Broadway

Everyone in America has 1984 fever these days, what with our descent into a society of ever-shifting choose-your-own-truth and insane claims by the country's leaders. And just in time for this increasingly dark period in our history, a new production of 1984 is coming to Broadway, which could be helpful for those of you who can't get a copy of it at the library.

According to cleverly-redacted press release, the Robert Icke and Duncan Macmillan adaptation of the famous Orwell book will hit the Hudson Theater starting June 22nd, after multiple runs in England.

In-formation

Calcified Lies is a deep critical thinker and I enjoy what he has to say. He really blew me away with this latest video. He questions the rigidness, restrictions and lack of freedom in our lives in this video. The way we are trained to be automatons by fictional constructs like time.

Calcified Lies questions our manufactured reality with videos like these and his critical analysis and commentary you can learn a lot from. He sees the cons and deception and can break them down and expose them unlike lots of critical thinkers and skeptics out there.

I know Calcified Lies has been critical of Chris Kendall and John Adams for associating with Jay Dyer which I can't blame him for. I agree with Calcified Lies on Jay Dyer being controlled opposition or an agent, but I think Chris Kendall and John Adams are genuine researchers and I've learned a lot from the both of them and still do. I think it's just a misunderstanding by Calcified Lies about John and Chris. I see a lot of similarities between how deep critically Chris Kendall and Calcified Lies think and the two of them should be really conversing with their thoughts about life instead of on opposite sides of each other.

The March For Science

You've heard of the popular marches in Washington D.C. to that protest civil rights, gay rights and all those other rights because marching on Washington really gets shit done. How about the March for Science? I thought this was a joke but it's for real. Apparently science needs a march on Washington because they have to bring more attention to their dogmatic bullshit that I thought already has an immense influence on the average dupe. The march for science just so happens to fall on Earth Day April 22nd.


Our Mission

The March for Science champions robustly funded and publicly communicated science as a pillar of human freedom and prosperity. We unite as a diverse, nonpartisan group to call for science that upholds the common good and for political leaders and policy makers to enact evidence based policies in the public interest.

The March for Science is a celebration of science. It's not only about scientists and politicians; it is about the very real role that science plays in each of our lives and the need to respect and encourage research that gives us insight into the world. Nevertheless, the march has generated a great deal of conversation around whether or not scientists should involve themselves in politics. In the face of an alarming trend toward discrediting scientific consensus and restricting scientific discovery, we might ask instead: can we afford not to speak out in its defense?

People who value science have remained silent for far too long in the face of policies that ignore scientific evidence and endanger both human life and the future of our world. New policies threaten to further restrict scientists’ ability to research and communicate their findings. We face a possible future where people not only ignore scientific evidence, but seek to eliminate it entirely. Staying silent is a luxury that we can no longer afford. We must stand together and support science.

The application of science to policy is not a partisan issue. Anti-science agendas and policies have been advanced by politicians on both sides of the aisle, and they harm everyone — without exception. Science should neither serve special interests nor be rejected based on personal convictions. At its core, science is a tool for seeking answers. It can and should influence policy and guide our long-term decision-making.

The March for Science champions and defends science and scientific integrity, but it is a small step in the process toward encouraging the application of science in policy. We understand that the most effective way to protect science is to encourage the public to value and invest in it.

The best way to ensure science will influence policy is to encourage people to appreciate and engage with science. That can only happen through education, communication, and ties of mutual respect between scientists and their communities — the paths of communication must go both ways. There has too long been a divide between the scientific community and the public. We encourage scientists to reach out to their communities, sharing their research and its impact on people's everyday lives. We encourage them, in turn, to listen to communities and consider their research and future plans from the perspective of the people they serve. We must take science out of the labs and journals and share it with the world.

The Culture Of Narcissism

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51IjnI8DwcL._SY346_.jpg

This book is extremely informative. The author has a lot of good chapters dealing with politics as theater, propaganda, sports as escapism, mass education, feminism, the taking over of family decisions by the state, socialism and other chapters showing the changing times and culture after World War II. It especially deals with the culture of consumption and how it forces the masses to have desires and fears it shouldn't have. Though it was written in 1979 it definitely gives you a wealth of information critically analyzing society and culture. Even though the title says narcissism this book definitely deals with more than that as I noted above.

Here are some quotes from the book that I though were good:
In the early days of industrial capitalism, employers saw the workingman as no more than a beast of burden-"a man of the type of the ox," in the words of the efficiency expert Frederick W. Taylor. Capitalists considered the worker purely as a producer; they cared nothing for the worker's activities in his leisure time-the little leisure that was left to him after twelve or fourteen hours in the factory. Employers attempted to supervise the worker's life on the job, but their control ended when the worker left the factory at closing time. Even when Henry Ford established a Sociological Department at the Ford Motor Works in 1914, he regarded the supervision of the
workers' private lives merely as a means of making the men sober, thrifty, industrious producers. Ford's sociologists attempted to impose an old-fashioned Protestant morality on the labor force; they inveighed against tobacco, liquor, and dissipation.

Only a handful of employers at this time understood that the worker might be useful to the capitalist as a consumer; that he needed to be imbued with a taste for higher things; that an economy based on mass production required not only the capitalistic organization of production but the organization of consumption and leisure as well. "Mass production," said the Boston department store magnate Edward A. Filene in 1919, "demands the education of the masses; the masses must learn to behave like human beings in a mass production world. . . . They must achieve, not mere literacy, but culture." In other words, the modem manufacturer has to "educate" the masses in the culture of consumption. The mass production of commodities in every-increasing abundance demands a mass market to absorb them.
While modern industry condemns people to jobs that insult their intelligence, the mass culture of romantic escape fills their heads with visions of experience beyond their means-beyond their emotional and imaginative capacities as well-and thus contributes to a further devaluation of routine. The disparity between romance and reality, the world of the beautiful people and the workaday world, gives rise to an ironic detachment that dulls pain but also cripples the will to change social conditions, to make even modest improvements in work and play, and to restore meaning and dignity to everyday life.
The Spirit of Play versus the Rage for 'National Uplift Among the activities through which men seek release from everyday life, games offer in many ways the purest form of escape. Like sex, drugs, and drink, they obliterate awareness of everyday reality, but they do this not by dimming awareness but by raising it to a new intensity of concentration. Moreover, they have no side effects, hangovers, or emotional complications. Games simultaneously satisfy the need for free fantasy and the search for gratuitous difficulty; they combine childlike exuberance with deliberately created complications. By establishing conditions of equality among the players, according to Roger Caillois, games attempt to substitute ideal conditions for "the normal confusion of everyday life." They re-create the freedom, the remembered perfection of childhood, and mark it off from ordinary life with artificial boundaries, within which the only constraints are the rules to which the players freely submit. Games enlist skill and intelligence, the utmost concentration of purpose,on behalf of activities utterly useless, which make no contribution to the struggle of man against nature, to the wealth or comfort of the community, or to its physical survival.
Modem capitalist society not only elevates narcissists to prominence, it elicits and reinforces narcissistic traits in everyone. It does this in many ways: by displaying narcissism so prominently and in such attractive forms; by undermining parental authority and thus making it hard for children to grow up; but above all by creating so many varieties of bureaucratic dependence. This dependence, increasingly widespread in a society that is not merely paternalistic but materialistic as well, makes it increasingly difficult for people to lay to rest the terrors of infancy or to enjoy the consolations of adulthood.

The Council On Foreign Relations Is A Trusted And Indispensable Resource???

If you want a good laugh, watch this video on the Council on Foreign Relations promoting how great they are, when it's really propaganda:

The Century Of The Self

Really good documentary. It might be long, but a lot of good information. It includes a lot of material about Edward Bernays, propaganda, and persuasion. Really goes in depth into how the manipulation of human beings and the masses works.  This documentary also shows how our culture is created for us now and has been. It's a science and the psychopaths doing the manipulation and culture creation really think we deserve all this control because apparently it's for our own good.

The Bending And The Breaking Of Will (Masters and Servants)

How do the corrupt rulers of this world justify their unjust actions? How do the people justify their apathy, their abdication of personal responsibility and their consent to be ruled?

In order to properly understand how psychological programming can effect our actions and inactions, it is often necessary to travel down some uncomfortable roads. In the following examples, I will use some Bible verses to help illustrate how harmful ideas can be transmitted into both the conscious and subconscious mind (often without us even realizing it).

This is not intended to be a personal attack on anyone's beliefs. I am using Christianity here as an example because I grew up as a Christian and, therefore, I am most familiar with it. However, the same type of programming can also be seen woven into many other religious belief systems as well. It can also be seen interwoven into television programs, movies, music, the internet, video games, advertising, military, police and corporate "cult"ure.
