This post aims to outline how television is used to subdue and control the masses, as well as exposing those responsible.

Note to readers of The Narrow Gate

You may have noticed that this is post #34.. (and at the time of writing this the last one was #27).

Don’t worry, because you haven’t missed anything; I’ve simply jumped ahead a few posts in my plan as I wanted to get some of this material published sooner. Rest assured that the information presented below can stand on its own, though the posts I’m yet to complete will naturally bridge any gaps if any exist.

The reason for publishing this material first is that I’m putting together a new section on this site dedicated to day-to-day decodes of news and other media, and the information presented in this post (along with the next few posts soon to follow) will provide crucial background knowledge for that section.

The section with decodes can be found in the header on this page (as shown below), but please bear with me as I am still working on populating those pages with all my previous decodes – which in the meantime can all be found on The Narrow Gate facebook page.

Preface

First off, let me just say straight up that this post includes a large number of memes to help illustrate things in a lighthearted manner.

If you’re someone who has a problem with that…

… then sorry to say, but perhaps this won’t be the article for you.

Now, to those who have a sense of humor:

This post will explore precisely how television is used to subdue and control the unsuspecting public.

The post will begin with a look at everyone’s favourite secret organization – the Illuminati, where you will learn who they are, and what they are up to.

We will then take a look at just how a tiny number of people manage to control the masses who vastly outnumber them – which is a study that will center around televised media, with particular focus on subliminal programming and mind control.

This post is very important as it will have a strong bearing on your daily life – especially if you like to watch television tell-lie-vision.

In reading this post, you will quickly realize that:

Introduction

As you’ve probably heard from the internet, there is no getting away from the Illuminati, because they are literally everywhere…

They are in facebook…

In macaroni and cheese…

In Betty White’s hair…

On Jay-Z’s nose…

In bread loaves…

In sports…

On Ice Cube’s face…

In Obama’s eye…

In Snoop Dogg’s eye too…

In brown paper bags…

In doritos…

In cheeseburgers…

In potatoes…

In pizza…

… and even in chocolate milk…

Clearly, if the internet is to be believed, the Illuminati is everywhere… and is just a big “conspiracy theory” or inside joke…

“That’s just a coincidence, it probably doesn’t mean anything…”

“Don’t be ridiculous, the Illuminati is just a crazy conspiracy theory…

… and the Illuminati doesn’t even exist…”

“Maybe you’re right… but I don’t believe in the occult so it doesn’t matter to me…”

Sticking your head in the sand isn’t going to make it go away…

Just hear me out, ok?

… After all, you have nothing to lose*…

(*except for a little bit of time and your sanity)

… and it might just be interesting for you to find out why the Pope is a fan of television…

Great! Now that I’ve got your attention, let’s belly flop right in…

1. Illuminati Confirmed

Most people will have heard of the “Illuminati”, but what exactly is it?

For starters, the dictionary definition of “illuminati” simply refers to people who have “special enlightenment or knowledge of something”…

In other words, this is simply a group of people who have knowledge that you and I don’t.

No big deal, just take some time to research it then right… Easy!

Well, it’s not that simple.

The story of the Illuminati has been repressed or revealed, debunked or exposed, ridiculed or exaggerated countless times – all depending on the point of the authors and whether they are “apologists” or “critics”…

To obtain absolute truth about a group that was always meant to be secret is quite a challenge and one must use a great deal of judgement and discernment to differentiate the facts from the fabrications.

That said, to try to get a grasp on who and what the Illuminati is, let’s start by checking out their own website (yes, they have a website)…

Here is an image of their home page:

Notice above that they make no secret about their relation to the pyramid on the dollar bill…

So already, it is obvious that the Illuminati is associated with the logo you see on the back of the one dollar bill.

Digging deeper, on the official Illuminati homepage they state the following about themselves:

They also disclose this:

With this in mind, the story about the Illuminati being “an elite organization of world leaders, business authorities, innovators, artists, and other influential members”…

… who have “shaped every major movement on this planet”, spanning “across centuries and [surviving] even the most established government entities”…

… is not a “conspiracy theory”, but rather, it is a fact – which they even disclose themselves!

You probably could have guessed as much from the fact that this logo appears on the world’s most important currency…

Now, as shown above there can be no doubt that there is something going on in secret, so the only question that remains is to answer what it is they are doing…

2. Order Out of Chaos

Just as we did earlier, to answer the question of what is going on, why don’t we let the Illuminati answer that for themselves… this again from their website:

In other words, order out of chaos, or Ordo Ab Chao…

“Ordo ab Chao” is literally translated from Latin as “Order Out of Chaos”.

To borrow some words from Orwell Today:

The puppet-masters create “dis order” so the people will demand “order”. The price of “order” always entails a handing over of control and loss of freedom on the part of the citizenry. Out of “chaos” comes “order” – THEIR order – their new WORLD order.

The trick of creating chaos and then seizing power under the pretense of putting things back in order is a tried and true method of deception and manipulation. It’s the meaning behind the Latin motto: ORDO AB CHAO meaning ORDER OUT OF CHAOS.

It’s also referred to as the Hegelian Dialect after the philosopher Georg Hegel who wrote about its effectiveness. He described it as: THESIS — ANTI-THESIS — SYN-THESIS.

Others have described it as: PROBLEM — REACTION — SOLUTION in that firstly you create the problem; then secondly you fan the flames to get a reaction; then thirdly (like Johnny-on-the-spot) you provide a solution. The solution is what you were wanting to achieve in the first place, but wouldn’t have been able to achieve under normal circumstances.

Orwell described it as Reality Control.

There are literally HUNDREDS of examples of this method being used effectively throughout the course of history. A well-known example is the bombing of Pearl Harbor which resulted in the United States entering the Second World War. Chaos was required and so chaos was created. That’s how it works.

Orwell Today will list some historical and present-day examples of chaotic events that achieve the aims desired by the powers-that-be. This list is by no means complete but should give people the general idea.

Let me reiterate that the Illuminati themselves admit to having “shaped every major movement on this planet”… which to point out the obvious includes every major war, conflict, major disease outbreak, terror events, etc…

Now consider this, again from their own website:

In other words, here we have an organization of very powerful and influential people, with unlimited funds, who have been pushing for their New World Order “across centuries”, and will stop at nothing to achieve it.

With that in mind,

as democracies merge into a single world government,

as privacy and freedoms become replaced by “security” and high-tech surveillance,

as schools crack down on critical thinking,

as mass media dumbs-down and disinforms,

as secret operations carry out crimes against humanity, and

as all major protests get violently repressed by a growing police state,

… it isn’t hard to draw the conclusion that a similarly repressive system is currently being instated under the guise of a “New World Order”… and all in the name of “peace and security”.

If that is too hard to believe then you can listen to it come straight from the horses mouth… exactly 10 years to the day before the 9/11 attacks no less… What a coincidence… (2min).

… “the continuing struggle for freedom elsewhere, all around the world… all confirm the wisdom of our nations founders…”

Now, what matters here – regardless of what we believe to be right, is the fact that there ARE people – very powerful people, who are doing everything they can to create a ruthless totalitarian government… and that should concern you a great deal.

With that said, you now have a very simple choice to make:

Either you can choose to stick your head in the sand, ignoring the obvious signs of everything that is transpiring in the world, and carry on living your life in blissful ignorance until the day comes when you are faced with the truth and have to make the terrible realization that it’s too late for you to do anything about it…

Or – and I know this sounds craaazy – you can take a thorough and honest look at what is happening, and then make an informed decision about what you need to do about it.

Either way…

If you want to continue spending your days doing what society has programmed you for…

… which includes ridiculing and silencing those who have actually done their research (aka “conspiracy theorists”)…

… then here are some parting words of wisdom for you:

On the other hand…

3. Media Power Base

Now that you’ve gotten an introduction into who the Illuminati are and what their overall goal is, we will now look at how they are going about their business.

To start with, remind yourself of what the Illuminati is:

In other words:

Now, as you can imagine from the pyramid structure shown above, there are numerous examples to be found in society to illustrate just how centralized power is (eg. politics, banking, military, justice system, United Nations, etc), but one of the best examples is the power-base of the mainstream media, as illustrated clearly in this graphic:

… In other words…

Now considering that over 90% of total media is controlled by just 6 companies, I’m sure you can appreciate the incredible influence they have on people’s minds…given how much television people watch…

According to the BBC, children spend over 6 hours a day in front of monitors or other screens, and it’s pretty well known that online media is just as centralized, with just a few companies (eg. Google and Facebook) controlling the majority of screen time.

Now, to see an example of how the mainstream media has influenced the public, watch this 2min comedy sketch, which aired on Saturday Night Live…

There may be a whole lot of truth in there, but the key thing to notice is how they portray “conspiracy theorists” (i.e. the ones who actually question things) as looking like crazy old homeless people… which is pretty much how society today views anyone who asks the questions being discussed in the video above…

As you can probably appreciate, it’s not hard to get the masses to think a certain way when you have such overarching control of the media they watch every day.

To expound on this, let’s read the words of Edward Bernays, the man who effectively invented modern advertising…

To re-emphasize some of those points:

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society.”

“We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.”

“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.”

Now, the best way to disconnect from the “conscious manipulation” by the “small number of men we have never heard of”… is to understand what it is they are doing…

And on that note, let’s take a closer look at mind control…

4. Introduction to Mind Control

Before we get into this, make sure you’ve got your tin foil hat strapped on nice and tight so that none of those pesky laser beams can penetrate your brain…

Please allow for a minute to let the hysteria of hearing the words “mind control”die down a bit… I’ll wait.

Now, before we go on allow me to make it abundantly clear that I do not profess to be a psychologist, psychiatrist, psychotherapist, or anything else ending in “-ist”, so do feel free to ignore everything I say on the subject of mind control, because it’s probably just a bunch of nonsense that the voices in my head told me.

We’re going to start our line of business here with a look at advertising, which will lead us into some deeper material on mind control.

Advertising

To introduce the subject, here are some words from the 30th US President:

To elaborate on what Mr. Coolidge said, I will borrow some words from here…

Advertising is crucial in marketing but is also equally important and essential to social, cultural and political aspects of our lives.

The term ‘Advertising’ originates from the Latin word ‘Advertere’ which means “to turn the mind towards.”

Give information, Attract attention, Create awareness, and Influence the buying behavior of consumers .

Advertising aims at the persuasion of potential customers. It attracts attention towards a particular product, creates a desire to have it, and finally induces consumers to visit the market and purchase the same. It has a psychological impact on consumers. It influences their buying decisions.

In other words:

The business of telling you what to think and do is booming, as the graphs below clearly illustrate…

UK Social Media Advertising Spending 2009-2018 (forecast):

Over $500 billion is spent per year on advertising expenditure, though this only takes into account direct advertising so the real figures are certainly much higher.

Not surprisingly, television has long been the biggest source of advertising spending in the last decade, but digital advertising is rapidly becoming the foremost avenue for planting ideas in the minds of the public:

Complicated graphs aside, the main message here is simply this:

In other words, hundreds of billions of dollars are spent each year to psychologically condition the masses to accept new ideologies that they otherwise wouldn’t.

Now, you may say that there’s nothing wrong with a bit of advertising…

… However, when the act of inducing someone to change their behavior is done systematically, that it is known as…

Brainwashing

In short,

Now, in the words of Noam Chomsky,

… and now Edward Bernays again,

If the idea of the government brainwashing the public sounds too crazy to be true… here are the words of former CIA Director William Casey:

For further testimony, here is a 3min video where an official of the CIA effectively admits that the CIA was paying people who contributed to national news services with planted stories, though that of course doesn’t even scratch the surface…

The video above might be a little dated, but government involvement in what gets shown on the media is far from a thing of the past, as you can hear George Bush himself admit in this 2min clip from a White House press conference:

What George Bush just said is basically an admission in line with this:

Now, I’m sure you’re thinking that a few planted news stories aren’t such a big deal…

And you’d be right…

… If all we were talking about were a few planted stories with the sole intent of making a few politicians look good. (Let’s be honest, Donald needs all the help he can get…).

Sadly, that is far from the extent of it though, as you might begin to appreciate in this 4min video:

Now, if they were doing that in the 1960’s, what do you think they are doing today in the age of special effects and computer generated imagery (CGI)?

If the subliminal from the Al Gore commercial is anything to go by, the very least is that they’re still doing it…

Notice the “RATS” appear at 0:25 of this 30sec advert:

Here it is in slow-motion (10sec):

And on that note, let’s dive into the world of subliminal programming…

Subliminal Programming

First, to define what we’re talking about, from psychologistworld.com:

A subliminal message is a signal or message designed to pass below (sub) the normal limits of perception.

For example it might be inaudible to the conscious mind (but audible to the unconscious or deeper mind) or might be an image transmitted briefly and unperceived consciously and yet perceived unconsciously.

Essentially, a subliminal message is any signal or message that your conscious mind doesn’t pick up on – like the text in the 1960’s national anthem video above.

Here is another quick example of a subliminal message:

We’ll be getting into many more examples of subliminal programming in the next few posts, involving colours, symbols, and numbers, but for now we’ll stick to understanding what is going on psychologically so as to give you a foundation to understand what we’ll cover in the next few posts.

The first thing to realize is that the mind is like an iceberg…

The subconscious mind is like a sponge, and absorbs all information gathered through our senses…

Note in particular that the subconscious mind doesn’t determine right from wrong, and absorbs all information like a sponge… and this information then shapes our beliefs, emotions, habits, and values – often without us even being aware of it!

Now, bypassing the conscious mind is what is known as hypnosis…

Under hypnosis, a person “loses the power of voluntary action, and is highly responsive to suggestion or direction”…

To expound on that, here is a passage from this article:

Subliminal messages might gain their potential influence/power from the fact that they may be able to circumvent the critical functions of the conscious mind, and it has often been argued that subliminal suggestions are therefore potentially more powerful than ordinary suggestions.

This route to influence or persuasion would be akin to auto-suggestion or hypnosis wherein the subject is encouraged to be (or somehow induced to be) relaxed so that suggestions are directed to deeper (more gullible) parts of the mind; some observers have argued that the unconscious mind is incapable of critical refusal of hypnotic or subliminal suggestions.

Now, remember what Edward Bernays said…

To break that down so it sinks in…

The psychopaths in charge understand the mechanism of the mind;

It is possible for them to control and regiment your mind;

According to their will; and

Without you knowing it.

By the way, this was an actual Australian Cricket TV commercial… which tells you openly what they think of you!

…

Now, as most people are aware we are surrounded by adverts and subliminal messages…

… Much of which is unavoidable.

However, there are two ways we can avoid being affected by such messages…

Firstly, by becoming aware of some of the messages and techniques used, the subliminal messages will not be subliminal anymore – as you begin to think critically about them with your conscious mind.

Thus, the ideas that were previously entering your subconscious and shaping your behavior will suddenly not enter your mind anymore, as you start to consciously and critically filter them.

To give you a quick example, here is the cover of Lion King…

Now here is the subliminal message on the cover…

Now that you have seen this, if you look back at the cover above your conscious mind will catch that image, and it won’t enter your deeper mind to pervert your thoughts.

Secondly, it goes without saying that staying alert helps… which means not watching television – or if you do, only do it in a conscious state where you are scrutinizing and analyzing what you are watching…

… After all, if a person is in a state of hypnosis (eg. passively watching television), the easier it is to program their mind…

According to the article Television Is A Psycho-Social Weapon (which is a short article that I recommend reading),

Psychologist Thomas Mulholland found that after just 30 seconds of watching television the brain begins to produce alpha waves, which indicates torpid (almost comatose) rates of activity.

Alpha brain waves are associated with unfocused, overly receptive states of consciousness. A high occurrence of alpha wave activity does not occur normally when the eyes are open.

In fact, Mulholland’s research implies that watching television is neurologically analogous to staring at a blank wall.

It’s worth noting that the goal of hypnotists is to induce slow brain wave states. Alpha waves are present during the ‘light hypnotic’ state used by hypnotherapists for suggestion therapy.

In other words, Alpha state is a passive learning experience where very little or nothing is filtered by the mind.

That being the case, while you are in a hypnotic state, your brain can easily get desensitized and conditioned to accept certain things you otherwise wouldn’t think was acceptable, such as gruesome scenes of violence and blood, drug use, and perverted filth…

… not to mention all manners of disinformation and lies, opinions, and also learned behaviors like believing that you need a government to lead you…

Moreover, being in a hypnotic state makes your mind totally ready to be pre-programmed to readily accept future planned events, such as what we discussed in 25. Exposing the Coming NWO Alien Deception.

You can also find more information on predictive programming in 26. Gematria, Synchronicity, and Predictive Programming.

To quote the earlier article again,

I think most right thinking people are agreed that physical effects aside, the content of the majority of TV programming today (I emphasise the word programming, a process that involves a passive receptor of information) is designed to instill a social worldview and value system that is self-centric and is in fact the opposite of what a healthy and enduring society requires.

With that in mind, imagine what it would be like if an entire society subjected itself to be hypnotized by psychopaths for over 30 hours of television per week, over several decades…

Perhaps it would look something like this?…

For a further discussion of what has been discussed above, I recommend watching this 16min video, as well as subscribing to the channel (A Call For An Uprising) as there’s a lot of good information to be found there.

Now, if anyone still thinks it is a “conspiracy theory”, you’ll be interested to know that the technology behind manipulating a persons nervous system by using a television isn’t even a secret… because it’s patented!

Don’t believe me?

Well… take a look at US Patent #6506148 B2 for yourself…

As for the effects that the patent lists as being possible to induce…

It should be alarming that some of your most human drives can be manipulated by a television!

For reasons that will become abundantly clear in a couple of posts, I find it particularly arresting that the colours purple, green, and yellow should be those experienced…

Anyways, the point here is this:

And with that in mind…

I know that you and your television set are very close…

But to put it bluntly,

… It might just be time to

Conclusion

That concludes our study of the television for today. Hopefully you’ve found the information presented compelling enough to switch off your television for the foreseeable future…

To briefly remind you of what we’ve covered:

We first took a look at who the Illuminati are, and what they are working towards – that is, the New World Order.

We saw how these people are using the “Order Out of Chaos” mechanism (ie. the Hegelian dialectic) to bring about their agenda.

That was followed by a short analysis of the power-base of the media industry, where you learned that over 90% of the mainstream media is owned by only 6 corporations.

Our analysis then shifted towards understanding the mechanisms used to control your mind, with particular focus on the television set in your living room (or bedroom if you really enjoy being brainwashed…).

We covered advertising, brainwashing, and subliminal programming, and you were shown many reasons why it would be a good idea to stop watching television (at least in an alpha-state).

Now, in case you need it, here’s a second invitation…

We’ve looked at some interesting material in thispost, but what you’ve seen here will pale in comparison to what you’ll see in the next post, where we will tackle some of the deeper aspects of mind control, including MK Ultra and psychological warfare…

As such, to to lighten the mood a bit before then, I’ll leave you in the hands of our trusted friend Bob, who’s wise words I’d recommend listening to closely…

To be continued…
