Reality television conspiracy

From our correspondent within a large production company :

So, you know the big reality shows, Big Brother, X Factor, Pop Idol, all that lot? Well, they weren't created by the TV companies see. They were designed and developed by a group of boffins in the US. There has been a load of research since the 1950's into controlling large populations through visual media, you know, TV, movies, video games, all of that. When it was obvious that pretty much every home was going to have at least one TV it was an opportunity to deliver targeted to huge numbers of people quickly and easily. Now, if you are a company buying advertising time, then you are overtly presenting a message and that is fine and understood, but if you are a government there are other options. There was a lot of work through the '50's and '60's into subliminal messages embedded in film and television shows. The CIA, as part of the MKULTRA experiments investigated the effectiveness of single frame flashes which were found to influence viewers without their being aware of it.

There is a lot of nonsense put out about this, the whole drink coke and eat popcorn thing at the cinema in the '50's is misinformation, the experiments showed that mind-control by subliminal messaging doesn't work that way. We now know that this is because of the way the brain is wired. It accepts sensory inputs but doesn't process them completely. The subliminal images influence the subconscious mind and tend not to interact directly with the conscious. So, the upshot of this is that although you can't directly tell people to do something, or buy something specific, you can modify more general positions. You can encourage people to eat more by indirectly influencing their appetite centres, you can discourage people from reading by influencing their emotional response centres, do you see where this is going?

Lets suppose that as a leadership elite you want to have a population that is docile, overweight, poorly educated then you can create a structure within say a popular TV show that creates a greater likelihood that this will be the case. This takes a period of time. Think back to the 1970's. Can you imagine how you would have reacted to the news that people would dedicate Saturday evenings to staying in watching a Karaoke competition? Of course not, yet that is what people are doing. The reason is that since 1974 there has been a gradual introduction of messages within programs to create a shift in the psychology of the majority of two generations. This process has been gradual with a changing message exerting more and more influence, and the process is not complete yet. The incorporation of these messages into reality TV shows is telling in itself. The format of the shows encourages audience engagement, which is part of the acceleration programme. The choice of contests is also key to deeply imprinting the messages. The long term goal is to create a society within which the elite can operate overtly, fully accepted by the lower orders who will essentially be treated as cattle, and most importantly, will accept this situation.

This is the culmination of over 300 years of development and research by the elite families and explains why certain technologies have developed and others have been allowed to fail. Why was Edison preferred over Tesla? Why Marconi? Why Baird? At each technological development that has led to the creation of todays visual media there have been competing systems. The elite have tested these competing systems and selected the one that allowed greatest progress toward the goal of complete control was selected and pushed forward. Of course the inventors were not aware of these, nor were the companies who developed the products and services, nor were the media companies who pushed certain products over others, or the majority of politicians who allowed it. Only the elite are in possession of all of the facts, and they are not about to come clean to anyone. But take a look at the chain of events and the way they are accelerating and the way that society is degenerating, and come up with a better reason or explanation.....
