For this last little while I’ve been going on about the direction we’re all being herded towards, which is initially the Orwellian state which is to go into the Huxlian state, the Brave New World scenario, a state where everything will all be tidied up — none of this independence nonsense and individual rights nonsense that keeps all the big boys from getting the great work done. All that’s to go by the wayside and we’ve been trained our whole lives actually towards it, to allow the ones in charge, the experts at the top, the ones who know what they’re doing. The only ones who know what they’re doing because they never really tell us until it’s after the fact, but we’re getting on to this new step where they’re going to manage our whole lives from birth to grave, cradle to grave and that’s what it’s all about. The way it’s done is so legalistic because in legalism and law — law comes about, even common law, by custom when something is introduced. If you accept it quietly, silence connotes consent. I hope you all understand that. Silence is consent. It’s not objectionable.
You’re consenting by silence and we’ve all been conditioned along this road where experts are running our lives. They tell us what to wear for the rainy days and we even have billboards along highways to tell us how to drive. ‘If you’re tired, pull over and have a nap’ and all that kind of stuff. We’re told what to do. We don’t have to think anymore and this Brave New World scenario, as they bring us through it, we’re going into the police state initially while they change the whole system upside down, a system into a controlled society under complete observation, because for a predictable society everyone must have all their information out there available to the authority at all times. That way you’re predictable. That’s what we’re going through, step-by-step, and with the Department of Defence publishing their top think tanks’ plans and what their forecasts for the next 30 years of mayhem, public uprisings and all that kind of stuff, you can see that that’s the Orwellian phase that we’re going into. We’re in it actually, as we’re taught to show ID cards and grovel in front of uniformed people and always look at their feet, just like slaves have always done, and most folk are accepting it quite calmly because at the same time we’re given this scientific overload of consumerism and we like it. I’ll be back with more of this after the following messages.
Hi folks. Alan Watt back with Cutting Through the Matrix, and before I take the callers and there’s already callers there, I’m going to read a little bit from Advertising Age. You can look it up yourself, December 11th, 2007 issue. I talked about this some time ago and how voice-to-skull would come and first be used for advertising and here it is.
It says:
‘Hear Voices? It May Be an Ad. An A&E Billboard ‘Whispers’ a Spooky Message Audible Only in Your Head in Push to Promote Its New ‘Paranormal’ Program’ by Andrew Hampp, Published December 10th, 2007.
‘NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — New Yorker Alison Wilson was walking down Prince Street in SoHo last week when she heard a woman’s voice right in her ear asking, ‘Who’s there? Who’s there?’ She looked around to find no one in her immediate surroundings. Then the voice said, ‘It’s not your imagination.’ No, he’s not crazy: Our intrepid reporter Andrew Hampp ventures to SoHo to hear for himself the technology that has New Yorkers ‘freaked out’ and A&E buzzing. No, he’s not crazy.’
It repeats that again twice for some reason.
‘Indeed it isn’t. It’s an ad for ‘Paranormal State,’ a ghost-themed series premiering on A&E this week. The billboard uses technology manufactured by Holosonic that transmits an_’audio spotlight” from a rooftop speaker so that the sound is contained within your cranium.’
That’s your skull. ‘…The technology, ideal for museums and libraries…’ Here’s your spin to make you accept it. ‘…ideal for museums and libraries or environments that require a quiet atmosphere…’ Probably funerals too. The coffin will speak to you.
‘.. for isolated audio slideshows, has rarely been used on such a scale before. For random passersby and residents who have to walk unwittingly through the area where the voice will penetrate their inner peace, it’s another story. Ms. Wilson, a New York based stylist said she expected a voice inside her head to be some type of creative project.’
Yeah, sure. I’m sure she thought that. ‘I could see how others might perceive it differently.’
This is a PR blurb actually. ‘.. particularly on a late night stroll home. ‘I might be a little freaked out, and I
wouldn’t necessarily think it’s coming from that billboard,’ she said.’
Here he goes on. ‘Less intrusive approach? Joe Pompei…’ Another pompous guy.
‘…president and founder of Holosonics, said the creepy approach is key to drawing attention to A&E’s show. But, he noted, the technology was designed to avoid adding to noise pollution.’
Isn’t that beautiful with a psychopath, how they can twist something into the reverse and say they’re trying to avoid noise pollution by putting thoughts right into your head, because that’s what it amounts to, you see.
‘If you really want to annoy a lot of people, a loudspeaker is the best way to do it,’ he said. “If you set up a loudspeaker on the top of a building, everybody’s going to hear that noise. But if you’re only directing that sound to a specific viewer, you’re never going to hear a neighbor complaint from street vendors or pedestrians. The whole idea is to spare other people.’
Ah, they’re being nice to us. They’re being nice to us. Good PR psychopath there.
‘… Holosonics has partnered with a cable network once before, when Court TV implemented the technology to promote its ‘Mystery Whisperer’ in the mystery sections of select bookstores.’
You see how they do it? They introduce it gradually in little places like that until you’re used to it. This is another article actually getting you used to it.
‘Mr. Pompei said the company also has tested retail deployments in grocery stores with Procter & Gamble…’
Oh, the big ones. ‘and Kraft…’ The ‘krafty’ one.
‘.. for customized audio messaging. So a customer, for example, looking to buy laundry detergent could suddenly hear the sound of gurgling water and thus feel compelled to buy Tide as a result of the sonic experience. Mr. Pompei contends that the technology will take time for consumers to get used to…‘
We’re going to get trained, folks. You’re going to be trained.
‘…much like the lights on digital signage and illuminated billboards did when they were first used. The website Gawker posted an item about the billboard last week with the headline ‘Schizophrenia is the new ad gimmick,’ and asked ‘How soon will it be until in addition to the do-not-call list, we’ll have a ‘do not beam commercial messages into my head’ list?’ There’s going to be a certain population sensitive to it. But once people see what it does and hear for themselves…‘
Intrusive thoughts, right? ‘_..they’ll see it’s effective for getting attention,’ Mr. Pompei said.’ It sure will.
‘A&E’s $3 million to $5 million campaign for ‘Paranormal’ includes other more disruptive elements than just the one audio ad in New York. In Los Angeles, a mechanical face creeps out of a billboard as if it’s coming toward the viewer, and then recedes. In print, the marketing team persuaded two print players to surrender a full editorial page to their ads, flipping the gossip section in AM New York upside down and turning a page in this week’s Parade into a checkerboard of ads for ‘Paranormal.’
AM New York’s gossip page got turned upside down as a promo. Here you are getting trained to accept the next step. Now don’t ever believe for a second that independent companies just went ahead and did this on their own. This is backed from the top because this will have a tremendous effect on the culture and the behavior of the people. Nothing, remember, is allowed to happen. Even Plato said this a long time ago. Nothing happens that would disrupt the culture. Everything has to be approved from the top, especially like something on the scale such as this. You’ll find these companies and corporations are all interwoven. The biggest corporations are all just sections, sections of your security services, your CIA, MI6 and so on. Real companies, real corporations, but they run the technological side of things and this is going to be made more prevalent and I’ve no doubt they’ll use it in the school systems, too, to calm the students.”
