Television alter brainwaves

Have you ever looked at someone while they are watching TV? Its pretty freaky, they are like zombies.

Sure.
What comes to my mind: A few people seem to be even extremely susceptible to this kind of programming and hypnotising. For example, I can remember that this has been always the case with my sister. Not always but sometimes you could call her name three times and she would not react at all. She must have entered a relatively deep trance state where she wasn't able to perceive her environment any longer. If you spoke to her repeatedly or touched her or put your hand in front her eyes, she would become abruptly startled and ask what was going on. I should add that she isn't an adult yet. Children disassociate more easily.
So I think if you need a certain period of time or many attempts to wake up a person watching TV, it's alarming. Such people are susceptible to programming for sure.

I agree and would be more concerned with that aspect than the type of TV one is watching.

There are, in fact, two different issues to consider here. One thing is the biological safety of such electrical devices in general. Plasma TVs are the worst in terms of dirty electricity and thus connected to some health concerns. LCD TVs are much better than plasma TVs in this respect. This aspect doesn't comprise the actual programming, of course, but rather the hypnotic opener part. It amplifies programming at worst. The programming itself is in turn accomplished by constant auditory and visual onslaught.
One has to be careful with both things. Though, the latter is probably more damaging in the long run.

Speaking of marketing, I was at a gathering recently where a television was on in the room and noticed that in about 40% of the commercials that ran while I was there they used a telephone ring intermittently in the background audio. The effect of this, of course, is that you look up to see if it's your phone or the house phone or to find out what phone is ringing. In other words, it forces your attention to the screen. There is no real telephone ringing, but people are so conditioned to react to the ring of a phone that it's almost impossible to not look up to see what phone is ringing.

I think that's an important observation. It's not hard to see how easily your attention can be attracted upon a commercial or whatever if they use the right auditory signals.
The same thing with ring tones and alarm clocks that use common songs or sounds. If they are used and played in commercials, films, etc., they may trigger emotional reactions and certain thought patterns and will attract your attention.
For instance, I would recommend to use only alarm clocks with more or less unique sounds because of this.

Yeah, I've seen alot of people go into that sort of a trance. Its worrying.
Do you really think that certain people are more susceptible to programming via TV than others? I thought that, by design, television does this to pretty much everyone if watched long enough.

I meant some people might be more susceptible to the hypnosis induced by staring at the screen. The programming is then more dangerous and influential if the window to the subconscious is more widely opened.

What I also noticed was that my sister (this could be common to some people) tended to sit relatively close to the screen, even if she had been advised to keep some distance.

I agree, throw in the HAARP, billboards, malls, and the rest of the subliminal and not so subliminal messaging and you have a zombie lot!!
I have read a little on hypnosis and some people are far more suited to it than others. It seems that some of the more radical Christian churches use a form of it as well with the tongue speaking and floating people.

On the other side of the coin I see many people recently questioning the issues at hand in a major way.
Right around the first of the year it seemed that the air was a bit cleaner of the waves or the channel had been changed I'm not sure which.
Certain waves seem to mess with my back muscles and they seem to be gone or significantly diminished. It could be the universe I don't quite know yet.

True, and I suspect that's because a large percentage of people are already so disassociated in their daily life that when they sit down in front of the tube, it's so easy to zombie out because all they're doing is distracting themselves from their habitual disassociated state.
