When you don’t have a TV, things start to look different.  I have not paid a cable or satellite bill for over 5 years.  Not having television for that long pushes you to other sources for news and information.  Not the kind of news the tube feeds you.  Relevant, insightful news.  The kind that requires critical thinking, patience, the ability to put together 3-4 pages of text and how it ties in with your opinions and thoughts on the issues.  Reading is really the only way a person can get this to happen.  News delivered through television is just not going to make that happen.

The medium is too valuable of an economy to allow for the humdrum details of verbiage like the kind I use in my articles to get a point across.  There are numerous books on this issue.  Some are referenced in my Books section.

Recently my reading has brought me to some resonating ideas.  Marketing has taken over our way of life.  What we called Capitalism, is now Marketing.  I’m not talking about marketing like advertising your services.  I’m talking about corporate phenomenon described by well respected authors like John Kenneth Galbraith in 1967: “The United States is no longer a free enterprise society, but a structured state controlled by the largest companies.  Advertising is the means by which these companies manage demand, and create consumer “need” where none perviously existed.  Multinational corporations are the continuation of this power system on an international level.  The goal of these companies is not the betterment of society, but immorality though an uninterrupted stream of earnings.”  J.K. Galbraith, The New Industrial State.

This is an important part of what is about to be uncovered.  9/11 is a sensitive topic.  We all experienced how frightening it was.  But this part of my article is not about politics.  It’s about the people talking in the “other news”... you know, the one you can read.  There is a lot of chatter about Building 7.  To be honest, I didn’t know much about this part of the 9/11 story.  After the second tower started to fall, I packed my stuff, checked my ammo supply, and sat patiently for the beginning of the end.

But seriously, as I dug deeper, I began to find that there are A LOT of people, writing about, talking about and showing footage about this topic.  And then I came across this “overlooked” Fox broadcast on an independent news site.  I’m not sure what to make of this, but it definitely is compelling.  Watch it until the end:

Now the point of this article is the title.  The Building 7 topic is one version of this point.  If you listen carefully, Fox... a large private corporation that has it’s fingers in many, many cookie jars... is marketing to you, how to perceive the video.  Here is the quote from the reporter: “We are seeing video today, that only Hollywood could have produced at another time”. 

One of my favorite contributors always says to me “every movie and every TV show is made for a reason”.  I have to agree with her.  I don’t think that there is a strange coincidence that recently we have had a surge in the number of “Quarantine” type films where people are struck with illness or some national catastrophe that puts them into the streets in protest and the government is swift in stopping or quarantining this civil disobedience. 

This is no different than what you saw in my article Your Rights... HAVE BEEN REVOKED.  Remember, read.  Read NSPD 51 which “claims power to the President to execute procedures for continuity of the federal government (i.e. Martial Law) in the event of a catastrophic emergency. Such an emergency is construed as any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions."

If you haven’t been to London recently, then you haven’t seen the writing on the wall.  I had a 3 day layover in London on my way to Africa.  There are CCTV cameras everywhere.  In fact, there are so many (4.2 Million) that it makes George Orwell’s 1984 look like a walk in the park.  Today, there is technology being used that will PREDICT if you are about to commit a crime... sound familiar?  Here’s a hint... our buddy Speilberg got us ready for this in the Minority Report with characters called “precogs”.  In 2008, we have software called “Crystal Ball” that is being used with CCTV camera systems in Portsmouth, England that recognizes “aberrant” behavior and warns of an impending crime. 

Now let’s put it all together.  Can you see it... the market continues to tumble, jobless rates increase.  Inflation continues to wreak havoc on society.  Social unrest begins as despite this bleeding of the Nation, the Government continues to stipend it’s Billion Dollar a day war.  People pour out into the streets demanding answers and ACCOUNTABILITY from their elected leaders.  NSPD 51 kicks in.  Civil unrest is quelled, quarantined and shut down.  Compliant “good citizens” are interviewed on the the mainstream media, and you hear this statement resonate on the idiot tube:

“I couldn’t believe it... it was just like the movies... “

If you’ve seen these images before, you’re less likely to be shocked.  You’re more likely to accept it as the norm.  Just look at all the trends that fictional characters from TV land have started in the last 40 years. 

You’re being marketed to America.  Wake up and read.
