Thanks for this post. 🙄 This lady sounds like someone it would be delightful to be around.

The skinny-is-beautiful-myth is an American propaganda machine that came in after WWII when the mental health professions began to create themselves by creating problems for people that the professionals could talk with you about for a fee.

Dr. Spock was the first to create insecurity in parents by convincing them that he, and not they, knew best how to deal with a crying baby.

Constructs (which are different from concepts)– like self-image began to be touted. And everyone's “self-image” became something that professionals need to help you with, by having you repeat (for a fee, don't forget) “I am beautiful, I am worthy, I am good” among other things…Ya da ya da ya da.”

Look at how self-images are sold in the media. Just a casual look at women's magazines as you wait in the supermarket check out line, tells you that women are presumed to be basically insecure people, who need all kinds of makeup for the face, the eyes, the lips (botox), wrinkles, hairdos, liposuction, to create a self image that is acceptable, not to themselves, but to some hypothetical fashion photographer. They must believe that fat in food is poison, even though many vitamins are only soluble in fat. They must buy kilos of beauty products and live in mortal fear of food in order to have this “self” image, which really amounts to making themselves, their image, acceptable to unspecified others.

Then there are the men's magazines that seem to be obsessed with nothing but creating six-pack abs. Six packs don't create “six-pack abs” do they? But, if you possess these abs (usually guaranteed in 10 days with no work on your part) you will have phenomenally good sex with a fully made up woman with a fabulous hairdo, artificial breasts that look like implanted Big Macs, and luscious botox lips (that look like she's just been punched in the mouth).

I like the whale lady — smart with a great sense of humor 😆 .

From the sovereignty point of view, the same propaganda principles have taught Americans that it is unpatriotic not to do whatever the federal government tells them to do; That it is the essence of patriotism to refer to the federal plantation as “my country”; That people who refer to the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights are subversives, who are dangerous to America; That everyone must pay their “fair share” of federal income tax; etc., etc., etc.

It all happens through propaganda (or in the case of the IRS, outright lying). Now, because of drug company propaganda, many people think cholesterol is a poison, when in reality it is an essential substance (produced by the body itself) necessary for brain functioning (it seems that people were a lot smarter before they started “watching” their cholesterol).

Cigarettes were sold world wide by telling people that they improved digestion so that even those with good digestion could benefit.

Lead was put into gasoline, not because it was necessary, but because it was “good” to do it.

People tend strongly to avoid what they believe is harmful (e.g., cholesterol), and gravitate toward what they believe is good (e.g., better health).

People who feel powerless cling to nobama because of his slogan “yes we can”. They interpret that to mean he can make them more powerful, when he means he can make them less powerful…as he is trying to do on a daily basis. The old song that said: “Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose…” could have been written for the nobama campaign.

And let us not forget that saintly liar Abraham Lincoln, the first president to invade his own country. He is called the Great Emancipator when, in fact, the Emancipation Proclamation freed not one slave. Not one. And add to that Lincoln said publicly several times in debates with Douglas that he did not believe in equality for negroes. Add to that, the fact that his plan was to repatriate all slaves in Africa because they were unfit to live with white men.

Yet by nothing more than the skillful use of language, the skillful choice and arrangement of words, Lincoln is a saint. School children then and now were and are taught that Lincoln was a man of such moral sensibility (even though he was a rich and successful trial lawyer, not a poor boy from Kentucky and Illinois) that he had to suspend the Constitution in order to save it and he had to free the slaves at the cost of 600,000 lives. Even though he could not and did not free even one slave…and, by his own words, never intended to do so.

Propaganda is very powerful, very.

But, propaganda is nothing more than a technique of communicating to groups of people by appealing to something they value and providing the means to achieve it.

Webster writes:

Communicating through the techniques of propaganda is a two edged sword that can facilitate good among people or evil under the guise of apparent goodness.

But, the point is, that it is an extraordinarily powerful way of communicating to and teaching others.

However, to be effective, propaganda has to appeal to some deeply held value, e.g….

People will like, and even desire me, if I buy this makeup, cream, exercise machine.

Women will want me if I have six-pack abs (so will many men 🙁 ).

I'll be healthier if I take a lot of synthetic drugs and cut out healthy foods.

The essential characteristic of propaganda is that it strongly invites people to attach their highest emotion-based values to the message of the propaganda.

And therein lies a challenge for FG and SEDM…both forces for good in people's lives.

How do FG and SEDM use propaganda for good so that their benefits spread far and wide like a powerful virus (like the propaganda of socialism has done worldwide? The identical techniques sold cigarettes, leaded gasoline, dangerous statin drugs, Lincoln's saintliness, and socialism to the world).

The specific problem is that it is virtually impossible to sell “liberty” and “freedom” to de facto slaves who believe that they are in fact free, are in fact at liberty, because they live in “the greatest, free-est, richest country in the world.” When in fact they live in one of the most despised, regulated, poorest debt-ridden countries in the world.

How does one design propaganda that nullifies the power of the prevailing propaganda and ignites the desire for true freedom that burned in the minds and hearts of the founders.?

Values are based in the emotions 😆 🙁 😛 😮 😀 😎 🙂 , and cool, sound, well-documented logic doesn't appeal to the emotions (or even the minds) of a dumbed-down population.

So cool, sound, well-documented logic is the product to be sold (or given away). How to package it with stirring words so that it appeals deeply to the emotions and causes people to organize into great marching groups is the question.

Martin Luther King said “I have a dream”…barry soetoro said “Yes we can” and both ignited the people even though their rhetoric was not nearly as good as Patrick Henry's “Give me liberty, or give me death” or Thomas Paine's appeal to “Common Sense”.

We need a think tank to come up with propaganda techniques to use in order to ignite the desire for truth, enlightenment, freedom and justice for all, in a powerful way that would even make IRS agents of treasury department of Puerto Rico sign up…the same way those very same agents did with the visionary King and that lying mouthpiece of the devil, soetoro.

We need a good slogan <_< .

The problem is they're not taking it out of the treasury. There hasn't been anything in the treasury for a long long time. But, they do have the ability to borrow money (though they're borrowing for purposes that are not permitted by the Constitution) found in Article I Sec. 8 “To borrow money on the credit of the United States.”

This was the huge mistake the Founders made when they put this loophole into the Constitution. The whole idea of living by borrowing, and shifting the debt onto future generations, started right then and there.

There are several things that need to be changed in the Constitution (e.g. the appointment of senators by state legislatures instead of election by the people). But, that borrowing loophole should be the first to go. Let congress tax the states directly by apportionment for its cash flow needs, and then let the state appointed senators respond as their respective legislatures instruct them.

This would undo the treasonous Lincoln's destruction of states' rights and sovereignty.

13. Immortality

I would definitely need some handholding and spoon feeding on this. But thanks anyway for thinking of me.

Control of the means of production in all industries is one of Marx's planks. Control of banking is another plank.

Everything is on schedule in the USA, with the federal government becoming the major shareholder of mega corporations including the banks.

And I don't believe anything will change until the congress and the American people call the executive's policies what they are…the creation of a complete socialist (communist) state.

There is only one reason, only one, that justifies the existence of a central socialist government. And that is to take the output of productive people and, as nobama said, “spread the wealth around” among those who produce nothing (not unlike himself). And his wife put it in more cozily domestic terms: “some people are going to have a smaller piece of pie, so others can have more.” Presumably the baker will get the small piece and those who didn't bake the pie but who want a bigger piece will get it because they are the ones who support government gangsters who steal the pie from the baker for them).

Presumably, now there will be a congressional committee formed on how to build automobiles with a 30,000 page manual. The solution will be that the government will create jobs for the unskilled unemployable who will now have a choice of either working for TSA or trying to put an engine together from a manual they can't read. And another committee on how to cut a pie into exactly six and one half pieces (the half piece is for the baker). And another on how to print money (though there is already a committee of nearly 600 congresscritters for that).

Socialists love displaying with great fanfare what they think of as their problem-solving intelligence. But with reference to them, intelligence is a word of art with a completely different meaning than its common one.

Everything is on schedule in the USA.

(BTW Michelle Bachman is really something. If they can clone sheep why don't we have them clone Bachman and Paul and just create the congress. It would be far better than what the People are electing. And I know who I'd clone for the supreme court. 😉 Then there'd be some judicial butt-kicking, just like there was at high noon in the Temple courtyard when the moneychangers got busted 😆 .)

Hi Dennis,

It's an interesting question you raise. I haven't researched it so I have no evidence for the following conclusion.

However, by inference it seems that the Framers were especially keen on differentiating between the states that declared their independence (individually) from king george and confined the federal government's territory to 10 square miles plus whatever possessions and territory it had within the states for forts, magazines, etc.

They gave congress the power to create courts under Art I and IV to administer their own lands and other property.

Even today, the federal government must have exclusive jurisdiction (accepted in writing to the governor of the state) over lands it possesses within the states in order to apply its laws to crimes committed on its territory.

You may have read Erie RR v. Tompkins,a famous case about an accident. It deals with the federal land issue (and the fact that there is no federal common law). Virginia took back the land it originally contributed to the District of Columbia. Now the federal government only has jurisdiction over small parcels within that former federal area.

I'm sure there are other cases which distinguish between the states' land and the federal government land both within a state and without a state.

The Federal Rules (54c) until 2000AD made it clear that Acts of Congress only applied in the District of Columbia. The supreme court has given three definitions to the term United States. etc.

These are just some off the cuff remarks. However, and I may be wrong, it seems clear to me that the Framers were not using a word of art “United States” to include both federal and state land as subsequent court cases and statutes (e.g. the penalty of perjury oath from within or from without the United States [i.e. the District of Columbia] have made clear.

Keep asking questions, it makes people like me review what I think I know 😕 .
