The
coronavirus can best be described as the latest crisis the government will not
let go to waste. America is in a state of panic and in a very timely fashion,
the powers that be are responding with their pre-planned solutions.
Unfortunately, most Americans do not see this for what it is. They are allowing
themselves to be guided into a state of predictable behaviors. They are
willingly self-quarantining, for example, while the government is considering
using our cell phone data to track us to ensure we are
practicing good social distancing behaviors. Allowing the government to control
how many people can socialize in one group will only result in Americans being
isolated from one another when we need to be coming together. It seems that after
years of discrediting the mainstream media as fake news and propaganda,
millions of Americans are now, following their every dictate. This is because
of fear, and the fact that our reaction to it has been made into a
science.
Any
revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative,
non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must
feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing
system that they are willing to let go of the past and chance the future. This
acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution. (Alinsky, Rules for
Radicals)
Americans
have been exposed to constant chaos and trauma since at least, the September
11, 2001 terror attacks. The media, since that time, has been used to create a
state of mind that is always reacting to a frightening stimulus. Constant shootings,
economic problems, global warming and the threat of dangerous weather, war,
terrorism and of course, killer viruses by the dozens. Zika, mersa, sars, bird
flu, swine flu and Ebola, to name just a few in the past ten years alone.
Americans are addicted to entertainment media, spending an average of thirty-five
to forty hours a week in front of the television. There is
research that suggests that too much television changes the way the brain
functions. In an article entitled “Brain
wave Measures of Media Involvement,”
by Herbert Krugman, it is suggested that the brains Neo-cortex, also known as
upper region, shuts down while the limbic system, (the lower portion) becomes
more active. These lower regions of the brain cannot process information the
way the Neo-cortex does, therefore, the ability to discern reality from
television programming is diminished.
When
you’re watching television the higher brain regions (like the midbrain and the
neo-cortex) are shut down, and most activity shifts to the lower brain regions
(like the limbic system). The neurological processes that take place in these
regions cannot accurately be called “cognitive.” The lower or reptile brain
simply stands poised to react to the environment using deeply embedded “fight
or flight” response programs. Moreover, these lower brain regions cannot
distinguish reality from fabricated images (a job performed by the
neo-cortex), so they react to television content as though it were real,
releasing appropriate hormones and so on. Studies have proven that, in the long
run, too much activity in the lower brain leads to atrophy in the higher brain
regions. (Krugman, 1971)
In
other words, watching too much television activates the brains natural fear
mechanisms. The powers that be have known this since the War of the Worlds radio
broadcast in 1938. The book “Invasion
from Mars: A Study in the Psychology of Panic”
highlights this by noting the fact that social scientists immediately began
studying man’s panicked reaction to the belief that Earth was being invaded by
Martians. As silly as it seems, they were able to gain valuable “insight into
his intelligence, his anxieties and his needs, which we would never get by
tests or strictly experimental studies” (Cantril, 1940). This suggests that we
are always under a microscope, with our reactions being studied, and our
behaviors being manipulated.
We
are being conditioned to respond to fear, and our reactions are being studied
for the purpose of developing future policies and gaining control of our
behavior. There are those who would call this alarmist and conspiratorial;
however, in 2015 an executive
order was issued which essentially laid the ground work for
such an agenda.
A growing body of evidence demonstrates that behavioral
science insights -- research findings from fields such as behavioral economics
and psychology about how people make decisions and act on them -- can be
used to design government policies to better serve the American people.
While
the order seems to revolve around making life better for the American people,
very few could legitimately argue any of the objectives have come to fruition.
Instead, society is spinning out of control. The order also proves that
government studies us and uses our reactions to push us in certain directions.
In the case of the coronavirus, it can be argued they knew how we would react,
and they are taking advantage of our fear by encouraging us to isolate
ourselves from the world while buying large amounts of toilet paper.
Fear
is a powerful motivator. It could theoretically be argued that Americans are
trapped in a constant state of post traumatic stress like symptoms. Since
September 11, 2001, as mentioned earlier, we have been constantly exposed to
media propaganda aimed at creating a state of panic. Our schools are beating
our children down with an indoctrination designed to cause angst and hatred
towards the country, undoubtedly causing them stress. According to an article
in the Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry, traumatic memories can be triggered when the
brain receives a stimulus in the context of that traumatic event. It does not
have to be the same, nor does it have to have a meaningful relationship with
the original trauma. This is of course, the standard definition of post-traumatic
stress disorder. Given the evidence presented in this article it must be
considered that media, along with the government and other powers that be, are
deliberately creating panic in order to guide and further learn how to predict
your behavior. When we see a mass shooting for example, and they call it home
grown terrorism, our brains are subconsciously reminding us of the horror of
September 11. Furthermore, with every mass shooting that occurs our reactions
to anything gun related are likely to be the same due to the created
association between guns and terrorism. The coronavirus is just another panic inducing
crisis that will be capitalized on by our government. The best thing you can do
is shut the TV off and live your life.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power,
and of love, and of a sound mind.
