Corporate Ties With Media Lies and A Nation On the Brink Of Insanity.

In retrospect of, and in answer to, an article on Slate concerning the reprimand of ESPN personality Tony Kornheiser, this author would like to point out some rather disturbing trends which find their advent in the disreputable plutocratic realms of corporate controlled government and media.

One of the most telling facets of the main stream media in this country is its incessant strategy of creating an alternate reality for people to live in.

For instance, the media depicts most women as sexual playthings and lauds the efforts of broadcast personalities such as Hannah Storm who regularly presents herself as a sexy teenybopper, dressing in short plaid skirts, knee high flashy boots, skin tight shirts, etc. When in reality she is almost 50 years old.

What is significant about her behavior is the fact that it flies in the face of common sense which would tell any self respecting woman to eschew any attempts to appeal to the burgeoning exploitation of young females in the society. It is no secret that the majority of the pornographic industry markets to pedophiles with presentations of young lust, using ad phrases such as “teen babes”, “barely legal”, “tight little panties”, you name it. If it refers to a female who is likely underage then it flies off of the shelf.

This is not simply because men prefer underage girls, but because of the complex web of advertising which targets youth and vitality as a means to stave off the much maligned -- however preposterously -- effects of maturity.

Why the strategy of lies is important to the MSM and big corporate, is because the truth is not malleable, and thus cannot be controlled.

If people are consistently endowed with the truth, they will eventually begin to think for themselves. On the contrary, if people are incessantly convinced to live in a fantasy world then all attempts to think for one’s self are thwarted by the natural propensity inured, which causes them to expound only upon the delusion. Thus the analogies engaged, and hypotheses perorated cannot, in any demonstrable capacity, be expected to conform to actual reality.

This creation of an alternate reality then disallows much of the populous’ ability to exist within a proper context of autonomy. Furthermore, it balkanizes the society and increases crime.

The prevailing objective of American marketing -- as opposed to mere advertising -- has become a tightrope act of mechanized propaganda which intends to manipulate the minds of the populous in a bid for full spectrum dominance. Therefore, the lies have grown more preposterous over time.

The marketing industry began to morph more into a propaganda machine as it was allowed to appeal to people’s lesser natures. Big corporations were (and are still) permitted to market everyday vices as a commonality among the society, and even became adept at selling deadly items, such as cigarettes, under the guise that they were healthy habits.

These days, even though it is widely known that cigarettes cause a bevy of significant health problems, and risks, the industry is allowed to market them with ad words such as “pleasure” and “satisfaction.” However, in actual reality, they fall far short of any form of pleasure or satisfaction.

Unfortunately, all they offer is instant gratification. Furthermore, gratification is an extremely fickle concept which can be interpreted in myriad ways that are neither healthy nor constructive. The industry merely employ’s it as a hook to grab unsuspecting consumers, many times at a low point in their self esteem because that is the first-strike method most marketing uses to lure people into their trap.

If marketers are able to hit people with a phrase which puts them on the defensive, or causes them to feel inferior -- regardless of whether this feeling is based in any actual realm of reality -- the marketing then has a soft point at which to maintain focus for their pitch.

For instance, attacking the unsuspecting consumer with ridiculous images which at first-glance parallel a large portion of society in its presentation, but which portray a person on the screen which acts socially inept, dressing clumsily or foolishly, as the advertisement pitches some idiotic product claiming to offer people the answer to their now proposed dilemma of stupidity.

“Can’t get a date? Drink this.” “Feel tired and lethargic? Wear this.” “Hate your humdrum life? Drive this.” And so on and so forth. Furthermore the “smart choice” is a claim which rarely, if ever, is actually a smart choice, and is merely the profit-generating selection the company wishes the consumer to make.

Moreover, many times the proposed solution is beset with deadly and destructive results, such as the feeling one gets from inhaling the thousands poisons in cigarettes. It is merely the “effect” of poisoning one’s self that is sold as a gratification, and illuminates the fact that simply because something gratifies one’s learned expectations does not mean it bears any true relevance in furthering one’s pursuit of happiness; and may very well be extricating them, unsuspectingly, from their desired goals.

When truly codifying the abject delineations of today’s marketing strategies, it is imperative to understand that the dysfunction being proffered is simply without merit. Thus it dominates the daily lives of anyone who becomes drawn into the veritable fantasy world the marketing schemes create.

Unfortunately, as the society becomes more and more inundated with these mendacious edicts of behavior it becomes increasingly destabilized, and begins to spin off course in ever widening degrees.

It has been the many half-truths and double-speak which have most effectively led people astray. For example, the constant presentation of early America as some form of “wild west,” gun-slinging realm of thugs and high-noon quick draw battles in the dusty sun scorched “main streets” of its many towns is simply a bunch of “horse-pucky.”

As the great-great grandson of William Luther Spell, the first Marshall of Cripple Creek (and its first four towns of Squaw Gulch, Mound City, Fremont and Placer), this author finds it extremely disturbing that the Encyclopedia Britannica claims these towns to have been a place where “violence and primitive emotions ruled.” When in reality, like all gold rushes, the early gold seekers were the finest people, and there was very little trouble.

The Encyclopedia Britannica is actually peppered with many false claims concerning the geographical locations, peoples and activities of this region, and the book’s assertions unfortunately fall far to well in-line with a plethora of wild stories which appear to have been created as a means for discrediting a great many people in this nation’s resilient and honorable history, painting them as rapacious and feral.

Somewhere along the way, Hollywood found it rather profitable to further this charade in films where actors such as John Wayne, who learned his lines from one Wyatt Earp (himself a questionable louse at times), are portrayed as hero’s rather than ordinary people with ordinary faults who found themselves in a fledgling country, newly emancipated from the oppression of a monarchy, building a nation full of people seeking freedom and free enterprise.

When studying the true history of this nation one finds that it has been the government and the corporate mentality which has shown the highest disregard for the law.

America must begin to display its honorable roots, and thus portray its auspicious fruits, for it has been charged, by its founding fathers, with the duty of spreading truth and justice within its borders, and as such is accountable as a beacon of prosperity and freedom to the rest of the world.

At the present time this nation is being shored up by military might, and is destroying its reputation so critical to its charter agreements with the world.

The heart of this nation is being hardened by lies and half-truths as the marketing industry and big business seek dominance over the people in a world created by marketing schemes and mendacious products, and thus controlled by a microscopic cadre of profiteers.

This author feels it is high time Americans disabuse themselves of the many false notions, and proposed pleasures -- which are merely methods of “instant gratification” -- that seek as their justification; misrepresentations of freedom; gender bias, class profiling, racial hatreds and romanticized aggression.

These acts are nothing short of preposterous, and if not soon corrected, the national course -- now steeped in delusion -- will fall to the lower road with little chance of setting itself aright, or maintaining a leading role upon the international stage
