politics of the imagination

[biggreenpea]

i would like to recommend a book for reading...it seems a great place to begin understanding how control works.

Politics of the Imagination...the life, work and ideas of Charles Fort...by Colin Bennett (with a forward by John Keel)

How science as a system is used to control people...keep them hypnotized and such.

Looks interesting! Have you read it? If so, could you possibly give us a brief summary of the salient points?

I am actually re-reading it. I just finished re-reading secret history, then i read high strangeness 2nd. then i went through the whole wave series with occassional other pieces inserted. then i was like,,,what next?

i am still assimilating the jadczyk work...this bennett book strikes me as one book which could be used to educate people who are new to this field...the paranormal or the conspiracy or even the world shattering revelations of laura knight jadczyk. i find people i speak with have trouble understanding how science could be a control system...perhaps attesting to how successful it has been. in a similar way david icke helped me to begin thinking about multi-dimensions and possible beings...or the world as a prison/feeding system.

i will have to step back a few to attempt a synopsis. that is not my strong suit necessarily, though i can handle brief. certain books are useful in researching 911 in the way they discuss the theory of false flag or objects in a vacuum or collateral damage. i do most my internet business from work which limits at times my ability to think through a post...bennett juggles the ideas of fort with critical social theory in a way which resembles the wiping of wiper blades on a car window...it is not always an easy read but the concentration required helps to unravel informational gordian knots. i am using it to refresh my memory for future science/truth discussions...

i sense this is not a strong summary and i understand my recommendation would be stronger if i could break it down better... and i request the patience of the moderators...

I just found something helpful on facebook...it is a comment by someone to a post, but the fella used words i could not think of...and in the interest of expediancy (and perhaps laziness)...

The culture creation industry: how ideas are downloaded into people's minds via fiction primarily and using high drama. High drama with emotion plus crisis situation in a movie and drama is a tremendous method of getting points across. It's almost like coupling an idea with the drama and it's downloaded like a virus into your subconscious and you're being programmed and it's called "predictive programming."

The technique is ancient and it's an old science. Plato in his Republic talks about the culture industry of his own day and how it was essential not only for maintaining control over the people by the elite but they had to control everything that was given to the public. In other words, anything the public saw in drama on stage was authorized. Not only was it authorized, in ancient Greece traveling troops of players would come into the cities and do their rounds and it was compulsory to attend. Everyone, even the slaves, had to attend at least one performance."


i am using the full comment but would focus on the second paragraph. again, i find at times it is one thing to discuss sciences errors and another to describe propaganda and programming. benett would say fort posits science as the new tool of the emperor...or the vil magician...
