The essence of Agitation Propaganda–which is more or less a technical description of the campaign of hatred and rejection which has been waged against Donald Trump–is, self evidently, agitation.

Propaganda certainly tries to create the agitation, but it is far easily to exploit it.  Much of the current media world acts to create stress, social isolation, and confusion.  You are told countless times, in countless ways, that you can’t trust the present, that “they” are out to get you.  This is the basic message of violence in media, which many studies have found work to increase isolation, distrust of others, and a lower activation threshold for anger and even actual violence.

The goal is to have a primed audience, one which is primed neurologically for amygdala-oriented responses, for fight, flight and shame.  All you need to then is insert a simple idea, a simple solution, and a villain who prevents it from happening.

Many of us view it as a mystery why Leftists, once their indoctrination process is complete, as so impossible to reason with, why they actively reject dialogue, even with people they have once considered friends.

This is the solution: once “The Solution” becomes the answer to their anxiety and fear, they are addicted to it.  To abandon it is to go back into a territory of fear and anxiety, this time without the simple solution to which they have become accustomed.

Neurologically, they are in an equilibrium based on continual anger, continual fear of public shaming, and a continual need for simple enemies upon whom can be projected all their evil, all their latent hostilities, and all their unconscious fears about who they are, who they have become, and what sort of world they are creating.  In fact, the more they unconsciously fear they are fucking everything and everyone up, the more evil Trump and his supporters become.

Watch this process tonight, anywhere you like.

I will add to this that this thought process initiated when I started reading about 5G, at the suggestion of Alex Jones: https://www.electricsense.com/12399/5g-radiation-dangers/

Could we suppose that 1) if stress equals the cessation of rational thought, and that 2) the cessation of rational thought can be equated with those who are currently voting Democrat and that 3) stress is much higher in the cities, could we not posit that 4) Trump’s success equaled lower stress areas, which is to say those areas relatively immune to AgitProp, because they are reasonably happy?

Could we not equally posit that 5G will make AgitProp easier?  Yes, I think we could.

Somewhere out there,
In the center of the night
on the edge of the dark ocean
Thunders a train,
A giant serpent winding
through our world
meaning no harm
but reminding me
that much is awake while
we sleep
and much happens out there
in the black distance
where we can’t look
while slumbering.

We can’t keep vigil all night
every night,
but we can keep watch
under the sun.

This is not much. But it’s something.  I would encourage you to write bad poetry too.  It’s the bridge between words and music, and something we all need.

Most people are fearful, lazy, unimaginative and reflexively selfish, even when they go out of their way to sometimes be generous for their own benefit.

To walk your own way, which is necessary, is to be radically alone, at least for a time.  There is no other way.

As in so many other things, our age tries to dumb down and make easy everything spiritual.  We are told it is about “being nice”.   Perhaps it is finding yourself genuflecting to monks somewhere, and saying “his Holiness the Dalai Lama”.

In many respects, when you boil it down, this is not a kind universe.  Survival of any sort is not given.  We are a miracle planet in the midst of endless nothing.

These thoughts may not be helpful for you, but they are medicine, at this moment at least, for me.

An optimal brain possesses, in its EEG, a degree both of connection and separation.  This property is called coherence.  If adjacent areas start firing in exactly the same way, this is called “kindling”, and it leads to seizure.  It is more or less like the parts of an engine freezing and locking up, such that things that were supposed to move relative to one another stop.

I would submit that societies are supposed to operate the same way.  You need a degree of connection, of shared values, of shared assumptions, which would begin with basics like driving on the right, in America, and extend to things like the value of our Constitution, and an informed respect for our history, while fully admitting our many failings.

But when you have tens of millions of people chanting “Orange Man Bad”, in their gray minds and gray bodies, with their gray arms writing their gray words, you have what amounts to a seizure.  You don’t have connection: you have binding.  It is no longer a chain, but a steel rod.  You have lost the ability to think, as a society, when this happens.

It may be the case that parts of the brain, returning to that metaphor, resist the seizure.  But that seizure still affects everything.  No part of the organism can ignore it, just as no part of our nation can really, truly, fully ignore the “Orange Man Bad” seizure we have been seeing with Trump Derangement Syndrome. 

The problem is not just that they are wrong in their portraying him as evil, but that the flow of logic and difference into that part of our social order is no longer possible.  It is comatose, with respect to all new information.  That part of the brain has lost the ability to register new perceptions, to think new thoughts.

Someone might copy this argument and apply it to conservatives, but that will not make it true.  It will merely be a new aspect of the “not thinking” which applies to their whole project, their whole conformitarian, totalitarian project.

I read articles like this, and it is hard to be sanguine.  So many of us locked into virtual caves, with only the glittering light and horrible food to feed us.  So much stupidity, so much superficiality, so much disconnections from the waters of a broader communal life.

It’s daunting.  What can anyone do?  I would say, all of us can do what we can do.  That is all. 

But I understand the SIMPLICITY of the Global warming idea (BTW, I am well aware the politically correct term is climate change.  That is why I use Global Warming, which remains the core hypothesis, inelucably): it gives people an easy idee fixe (there is a bilingual pun intended there), in a world dominated by complex problems, each demanding complex solutions.

Freedom, freedom, freedom: give me the one idea, and the one solution, and let me beat my drum.

I got some intelligence yesterday from someone in college at the moment, and most of these kids seem to believe not only that global warming is real, but that it might mean the end of humanity.

This issue is important, not because the science is science, not because the people doing it are honest, but precisely for the opposite reasons.  It is the largest swindle every attempted.  It is funded at high levels by governments all over the world, and million of people want the people behind it to be given power over our lives.

It is beyond obscene that the people entrusted with the education of our children are using that opportunity to fill their heads with idiot nonsense.

Here is one good video which discusses the topic: https://www.prageru.com/videos/climate-change-what-do-scientists-say

The essential point on this whole thing is that the propaganda has reached such peak saturation that they call anyone who disagrees with them dishonest, and use the asserted fact of their dishonesty as reason to discount their opinions.

It is circular: if you disagree with us, you are wrong, and because you are wrong, your opinion carries no weight.  It is a method for avoiding substantive discussion entirely.  It renders it impossible.

But for all these deluded souls who are merely repeating what they taught, this is an important reality, a vital fact about our contemporary life, and Trump for that reason a criminal for pulling us out of the Paris Climate Agreement, which was farcical even on its own even if one was otherwise inclined to believe the core hypothesis.

I began this blog to address this topic.  It won’t die, because too many people need it to get their bullshit ideologies, their psychopathological delusions and obsessions, moved forward.

Playing music activates your whole brain.  It seems reasonable to think this used to be a means by which people managed trauma and trouble.  It is particularly useful in bringing the right hemisphere on-line and integrating it.
