Cruz, The GOPer Choice, Part 1

We’ve been watching Ted Cruz, the banker’s husband, carefully for a while of course. Even before he decided on his run for the presidency, he was obviously setting up for something. There is plenty of evidence t look at in his actions in the past that proves he is far from an “outsider”. On the contrary, old Cruz is as GOPer as you can get.

And now that Wisconsin is passed, and the odds of Cruz getting enough delegates going forward to be an actual viable candidate are somewhere between nearly zero and forget about it, people are wondering why he doesn’t drop out. That is a simply one to answer–math. The goal at the moment isn’t for Cruz to get 1237, it’s to make sure Trump gets 1236 or less.

The GOPer Last Ditch Effort.

At the moment, it looks like old Cruz has likely agreed behind closed doors somewhere to take Kasich as a running mate if absolutely necessary, since Kasich’s delegates from Ohio would follow him. If the convention is brokered and the GOPers scrap Rule 40, as they have threatened to do, then after the binding votes were done, Kaisch could safely withdraw and his delegates would go Cruz. The GOPers have likely also made arrangements for Cruz to get Rubio’s delegates also, to make the Cruz ticket appear to the uninformed to be a “mandate”.

The GOPers also have the MSM running a full on frontal assault on the people, pushing the dual narrative of Trump can’t make 1237+, and Trump’s delegates have already been stolen and are not bound to him. This is, of course, a flat out lie by commission AND omission. But that doesn’t faze the MSM a bit, of course. To complicate the issue, Roger Stone has either been co-opted or has become an utter idiot, and with the help of Alex Jones is trying to incite a “March on Cleveland” and “Days of Rage” that is exactly what the GOPers, AND the administration want, albeit for different reasons.

Good grief, he named it after the Weatherman Riots back in 1969. How obvious can you get? Then he puts in lame disclaimers here and there about the Trump team not advocating violence…And as I pointed out in another article, if you think the GOP wouldn’t use Stone’s association with Trump as an excuse to disqualify him at the convention if this happens, THINK AGAIN. And Stone himself has laid the groundwork for that by saying he still talks to Trump regularly and they “have a rhythm”.

People Have Short Memories.

Remember, Roger Stone is a long time GOPer operative, who has his fair share of political skeletons in the closet, though not nearly as bad as some campaign managers, of course. He’s also known to be the kind of guy who doesn’t hesitate to bite someone who is no longer on his “good” side.

Alex Jones, IN THE PAST, would have taken a look at this campaign and the blatant mass perception manipulation, talk of stolen delegates, the RNC putting up a website explaining brokered conventions, STONE calling for a huge demonstration in an area under secret service protection where the entire section of the state will be saturated with LEOs with full riot gear, MRAPS, and National Guard on standby and screamed “PSY-OP!! FALSE FLAG!! OBAMA WANTS MARTIAL LAW AND TO SUSPEND ELECTIONS!”

Especially since he knows all the players in this game–the government, the RNC, Cambridge Analytica, and even poor Booz Allen Hamilton. He is the one that consistently exposed  Psy-ops over the years. But the number of voices out there saying Alex Jones is part of the problem is growing.  Now, all of a sudden, he is all in favor of running straight into the most obvious psy-op of the decade. He knows the media is lying. He knows the players. He KNOWS about the ongoing project, and has exposed parts of it in the past. To say with all that in mind that he doesn’t KNOW this “Days of Rage”lunacy fits right into the project is entirely illogical.

Stone’s talk of “reverse Alinsky” makes ZERO sense. And I do believe there are a few LAWS around that deal with people who threaten, harass, suborn, or otherwise try to intimidate Delegates as well….Whether they are merely useful tools in the game, or full operatives, is an unknown. But the number one rule in THIS game is you always assume there are no useful idiots or tools. Leaving a margin of error is crucial, especially when you are dealing with large scale crowd scenarios in a fully primed context.

Very strange–but wait, Alex and Stone are on our side! Yep–and these aren’t the droids you’re looking for. You can go about your business. Move along…..

Public Perception, Reality, and Narratives.

This is going to be the first in an extended series of posts about the foundations of mass perception manipulation, and it starts with a video that is an hour and a half long. If you’re older than 40 or so, you may have seen this video in school, on or around November 22nd every year.

It is perhaps one of the finest movies produced by the government, using none of the tools we face today. As a matter of fact, this might be the last “pure” government film produced, as the government began actively experimenting with the basic principles of modern mass perception manipulation as an ongoing component of the media during Viet Nam.

In this video, you see the simplest, cleanest form of “propaganda”–the careful use of music and narrative combined with video chosen with equal care, and nothing more.

Years Of Lightning, Day Of Drums–1964

Language, in its written or spoken form, can be analysed and scaled using standard tools. Different words and terms carry different “weights”, meaning they will cause more or less engagement, and will produce greater or lesser degrees of emotional/psychological response. This is why it is so important when dealing with the opponent as an infiltrator to use their terms and their context, as any spy from any age knows well.

He who frames the language, frames the argument.

Deconstructing The Project–Observational Analysis.

Opening–Strong multi-targeted image. Music is martial/nationalist in overall tone, generic. Narrator is Gregory Peck, chosen for his authoritative, neutral tone. Epitaph represents a strong call to action:

Dedicated to the great men of the future… Who in their youth will search through history for an idea–and find and ideal….Who will search through the dreams of that ideal, and find their own destiny.

Approximately 12-14 seconds of internalization and absorption of image, emphasizing meaning and call to action, a mission being given.

Take note of the opening Narration, in particular:

It was true, that the assassin took careful aim at the President of the United States.

It was true, that at the precise moment the assassin waited for, the trigger was pulled.

And it was true, the President was killed.

But it was also true the assassin missed his target

For he wanted John Kennedy to die, and that, he was unable to do.

For no man could take away years of lightning, with a single day of drums.

This is a good example of framing the “argument”. The person who wrote this deliberately used neutral statements of fact, with nearly neutral weighting when setting the base tone. This establishes the “zero” for the piece, much like the “tare” button on a scale. Released for foreign distribution within literally months of Kennedy’s death, the opening imagery of the tombstone with the epitaph was chosen to create a strong  call to action, to internalize an idea or set of ideas, and find an ideal.

The narrative following, with the cloudy sky as the background, combines imagery chosen to appeal to aspirations and higher instincts, with a religious sub-structure that is neutral, allowing the subject to internalize the message in a personal context independent of the central theme.

The narrative itself is neutrally weighted, to bring the subject from a strong emotional trigger and call to action back to a state of objectivity, by laying out the facts in the most neutral terms, and ending with another imperative that is presented with a neutral. The mind is presented with three undisputed facts, against a personalized neutral contextual framework.

From that now neutral point, the subject is presented with three new ideas, formatted as declarative sentences in “fact” format equal to the three actual facts. A well respected and famous figure whose voice was familiar presenting the second three statements with the same emphasis and certainty elicits the “these are also facts” reaction from the subject. The weighting of the statements moves from a careful neutral, to a determined positive, ending with a resolution–completing the call to action.

Approximate time to set complete narrative: 60 seconds.

And There You Have it…In 60 Seconds.

That is a basic deconstruction of the opening. Bear in mind, this was set for foreign release, so the context in which it was shown also had bearing on the final result of the project. The film was typically screened in public movie theaters, for free, paid for by the embassies in the countries it was shown in. It was also shown in schools, and according to anecdotal accounts and a number of historical references from showings, was preceded by presentations from respected local figures.

The purpose of the film was to show the world the strength of our resolve, and was also a message to the Soviet Union, and the communists in North Viet Nam, according to people who participated in the project.

That fact was not public knowledge then, and may not be now (but most of the old guard are dead, anyway). The non-military and non-intelligence subjects saw it only as a message of resolve, strength, and continuation of the missions John Kennedy had begun, and a way to mourn and experience closure in 1 hour and 26 minutes, give or take…

 

How To Get World Class Psy Ops At Yard Sale Prices

A while back, in the series of posts about Cambridge Analytica, I pointed out that Cruz the banker’s husband was apparently, judging from FEC filings and the budget he started with from Hedge Fund guru and elite tax dodger Robert Mercer, getting the best psy-op firm in the world at yard sale prices. So now, I’ll explain a little more about the single most valuable commodity in the world–data.

Data Is The Single Most Valuable Commodity In The World.

Yes, that’s true. Now the nay-sayers will be saying “well, my Burger King receipt is data, what will you give me for it”? Well, for just your BK receipt, that depends. With an app like Receipt Hog, a few points.  And when you have enough points, you can get cash! Receipt Hog is just one of hundreds of Reward programs that pay consumers every day. From grocery stores and drug stores, to the wildly popular WalMart app with the “savings catcher” that rewards you with egift cards if, when you use it, it finds a lower price on an item you bought at WalMart somewhere else in your area, reward programs can keep a steady flow of cash, gift cards, free samples, gas discounts and more streaming into your mailbox, email, and Paypal.

Even Bing is in on the game, and rapidly seizing market share from Google, because they pay you for your activity. Simply for allowing various companies to collect data on you, you can get anywhere from 10-100.00 or more a month between all the programs.

And every one of these programs gets a huge return on their investment in you. WalMart and your local grocery store, for instance, use this information with other data to determine display prices, to track performance of sales cycles for maximum profit, and to provide research firms with aggregate shopping data for overall consumer spending trends.

Bing uses the data to target sponsored ads, and also improve their search engine’s functionality. Google does the same with your data, but they don’t pay you for it. Receipt Hog keeps the raw data in anonymous aggregate form, and sells it to market tracking firms and also provides it to the companies that pay a fee to be included in their reward program.

But There Is More To Data Than Meets The Eye…

For every company that offers you rewards for your data, there are literally several hundred to 1000 or more that simply use it for free. Some of them don’t even bother telling you explicitly that they’re collecting it. For every site that gives you a nice large “cookie” warning, there are thousands that don’t (but use cookies and dozens of other tools to track you through their site’s “analytics”). And while some of these sites do nothing sinister with your data, others may sell your data to people with less than innocent motives.

Take the Cruz app for iPhones–it’s a GAME! How Neat! In exchange for answering questions about yourself, talking to friends, playing games etc., you get points. Talk enough of your unsuspecting friends into downloading the spy app from Hades, and you win a super Duper Cyber Trophy! Meanwhile–your Facebook friends (Cruzers or not) start seeing all Cruz, all the time.

But more sinister–they start seeing different “regular ads” and “sponsored sites” than before. And some people have gotten email from the Cruz Crew, Facebook posts from the Cruz Crew, etc. This lovely tool will even (if you let them track you) let you know, wherever you are, when another Cruz Crew member is nearby, so you can meet them! To date, over 100,000 people have downloaded and installed this app, and a good percentage of them allowed the geo tracking option. I have to wonder about anyone who has no problem with ANY agency tracking where they are at all times to within 50 yards, personally.

Why? because that type of data, my friend, is the most valuable type, to certain people. Data that tracks human traffic flow is used for everything from deciding on delay times on traffic signals to determining the square foot lease price of retail space, by “innocent” businesses and municipal, state and federal governments. But it’s also used by people plotting lone wolf terror attacks. Just as it can be used to trace someone who has been kidnapped, this data also tells a kidnapper with a specific target where that target is.

Wait A Minute…Why Would I Be Getting Different Ads?

Well, about those yard sale rates we mentioned at the beginning of this article…

Cruz made a deal. A very interesting deal, where he gets discount rates for allowing Cambridge to copy all of his data from the app, and website, and anywhere else, for their two brand new U.S. storage hubs–one located, coincidentally, not far from D.C., and one in Texas. So while you’re playing games and answering seemingly innocuous questions, Cambridge is busily copying all that information, and more. If you read the terms (and most people don’t) you’ll find that by choosing to take certain options and agree to certaibn things, you’re also giving them far more access to anyone on your FB friends list–and your smartphone contact list–than you should be able to give.

Remember, this is the company that has fought off more than one ethics charge for flat out appropriating data, and for using misleading “polls” with 1.00 rewards to appropriate MORE data, from Facebook and who knows where else. So while you earn your virtual titles and virtual prizes and trophies, you’re giving these yo-yo’s access to everyone you know on any of your lists in your social media or your phone.

And about those “different ads”–well, Cambridge does still do some work with people other than politicians, so in most cases, you’re just receiving a copy of an ad better targeted for your demographic code. Which may cause you to spend more than usual shopping online.

But– that data also allows paid trolls and “social media/social perception managers” to begin posting to you, to pick up more intel on you as a person. And it also allows any firm currently running a large scale mass perception project to target you. Cambridge also sells data, to other firms like it that do strictly commercial PS, which is, I suppose, OK for some people.

Wow. So Much For Facebook! Well, It’s Just Marketing Information….

But it isn’t. Even when you don’t give them reasons for blocking ads, when you don’t file complaints, just your likes tell them a lot about you. And  semantic analysis is also in there. Even when you personally don’t comment, your like gives you away. When you DO comment, your choice of words speaks volumes. Semantic analysis provides an entirely different level of sophistication when it comes to categorizing “you”. OK, so maybe Facebook itself doesn’t use semantic analysis and semantic weighting and scaling (though they might, for all we know). But they still collect that data and sell it to others.

How do you feel about Cambridge’s parent company, SCL Group, getting  that data? How do you feel when you think about what “mass perception management” really means? If you don’t know what it means–in a nutshell, it’s psy-ops. but it takes the form of weeks, months, or years of slowly changing your opinion on an issue, or a demographic group, or a religion, or religion in general.

It can be something as simple as showing you nothing but positive Facebook sponsored ads about Islam, or nothing but refugee articles about sick children and exploited women (while the majority of the unvetted refugees coming into America from the middle East are young, healthy, men), to a years long, highly sophisticated project designed to convince you through changing the meaning of words and the contextual framing of real world events that there really is an epidemic of mass shootings, or cops murdering innocent people.

It can also be used by media people or alternative media that you trust, to feed you deliberate misinformation/disinformation…like long trusted talk show hosts trying to convince you to believe them, not your gut or your lyin’ eyes. Or people who are noted authority figures on gov’t psy-ops and false flags suddenly telling you to do things that have zero benefit for you or the country, but would give the gov’t they claim is out to get you and destroy America the weapons it needs to do so….

Knowledge is power. And right now, a lot of people are using the most valuable commodity of all, your data, against you. You can’t effectively stop them from getting that data. But you can learn to observe instead of watch. whether it’s a news program or a written blog page, you need to learn to observe the language, without emotion interfering. Language isn’t just words, it’s pictures, video, audio, and “optics”.  So, in future posts, we’ll be looking at how to deconstruct what you watch, and point you to tools and ways you can learn to observe. Those tools and materials are out there, and everyone needs to make use of them.

 

Why Is The Media Pushing The “Delegate Stealing” Narrative?

The media, in typical fashion, is creating a national furor by playing up the DELEGATE STEALING NARRATIVE. There’s only a few problems with this narrative of theirs:

• THE DELEGATES ARE NOT BEING STOLEN. Delegates aren’t magic beings–they are ordinary people from Main street. Anyone who is a republican can be elected a state delegate, and get to the National convention as well. What is happening is very simple. Cruz is playing the game, making sure that those who vote for HIM go the extra step and go for a delegate slot. And the GOPers are busily helping him, by making sure that their PRECINCT PEOPLE, OR THOSE WHO VOTE ON DELEGATES, ARE EITHER CRUZ SUPPORTERS OR ARE VOTING FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE. This is how the delegate system works. It is NOT the GOP’s “job” to make sure a candidate’s delegates actually support them. Does it stink?? Oh, yes it does. This is kind of like those situations where someone offers you a “free” mobile home, and you just say YES without finding out the details. Then it’s your fault for not ASKING if you had to pay the moving costs, or provide the axles, whatever. THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS. And the delegates are at least in this election cycle “bound”–which means that for however long they are bound, they are Trump’s. Beyond that, all bets are off. The opposition and the GOPers are merely doing everything they can withing the rules of the game, to insure IF they get a contested convention, they have an edge. IF WE GET 1237+, NO PROBLEM.
• The media is deliberately trying to create panic and civil unrest, by allowing people to think we’re “doomed”, WHEN THIS IS NOT THE CASE.
• The media is also making sure that they don’t tell you the whole story, because if they told you what I wrote above, you’d do 2 things–you’d say “oh, OK, so I’ll LEARN HOW TO PLAY THE GAME SO MY VOTE COUNTS”, and you’d stop worrying about delegates in states where they have already been chosen, and start worrying about states going forward, and lock in THOSE delegates.
• They are NOT telling you the whole story, or telling what they ARE telling you accurately, because they are hoping either Trump or the voters do something stupid that violates some arcane RNC by-law, so they can nullify the binding pledge, making ALL THE DELEGATES UNBOUND AT THE CONVENTION. They are doing this at the behest of the GOPers.

So, Why Are the Media And The GOPers Trying To Scare Us?

I really shouldn’t have to spell this out, but I will anyway. THE GOPers KNOW CRUZ IS NEARLY COOKED. They also know that Trump IS our choice, which scares the Bejeevers out of them, for good reason. If Trump gets 1237+ the ONLY thing they can do to stop him is change the rules at the convention (which they do have the right to do BTW, yet ANOTHER reason we need to take back the GOP). They also know if they do that, we’ll likely go write in, or revolt. To prevent Trump REACHING 1237+, they have to demoralize the voting base. They have to convince people Trump is losing (look at the news and nonsense over WI, for instance), or that Trump HAS ALREADY LOST PLEDGED DELEGATES WHEN HE HASN’T.

But, and this is far more important at this point: The media and the uniparty, both GOPers, AND Dems, are trying to get the people angry enough to fall for idiocy like Roger Stone’s “Days of Rage”, and march on Cleveland “just to be sure the people are listened to”. 

AND IF WE DO THAT–WE LOSE. EVERYTHING. THE NOMINATION, TRUMP IN THE WHITE HOUSE, AND PERHAPS WORSE. WHY???   THINK, AND THINK HARD, ABOUT THIS–

Under the RNC rules, if the convention isn’t “safe”, they can suspend it. Technically, as the rules expire THE NIGHT BEFORE THE CONVENTION, They can just change them anyway.

The RNC also has rules in place that allow them to nominate who they choose, if the binding of delegates is nullified by some action on the part of the candidate. Do you think they couldn’t make a case that Roger Stone is employed by Trump? Or that Roger Stone is trying to create civil unrest because Trump told him to? THINK AGAIN.

But beyond that–they already have the National Guard training focusing on civil unrest and terrorism, foreign or domestic, at the Conventions. The Cleveland Police are getting an extra several thousand sets of riot gear. There are extra MRAPS being sent to Ohio. Occupy, Soros, and the BLM agitators are being whipped into a frenzy all over social media, to go to Cleveland to protest Trump’s nomination.

Cleveland is about a 1/2 million people. Hotels, motels, campgrounds etc. are already being booked out 40 miles or more from “ground zero”. The local infrastructure is hardly big enough to adequately support typical convention needs. IT WILL NOT SUPPORT ANYWHERE FROM 2-5 MILLION ANGRY PEOPLE DESCENDING ON IT.

Roger Stone’s flamboyant, severely ill-advised ranting  all over the place is giving the police, the national guard, and the administration ammunition to militarize an entire flipping half of a state, and making Trump supporters look like what the media tries to portray us as–a bunch of angry, racist, xenophobic,nascent domestic terrorists. And this WILL hurt Trump over time, if it isn’t stopped.

It is also fueling the violent impulses of every nutball in this country, giving any “lone wolf” Islamic terrorist or group of them visions of pulling off a terror attack that would make 9/11 look small (imagine, for instance, 8 or 10 small private planes loaded with explosives and nails, auguring into huge crowds or the Convention center itself, just for starters–and any video gamer can probably come up with far worse scenarios), and giving the gov’t reason to quietly shift all kinds of supplies and personnel into the area to “prepare” for trouble, “just in case”.

Either the man is an utter fool drunk with power, or he is deliberately trying to incite violence on someone’s behalf–and it isn’t on Trump’s behalf or ours, either. His rhetoric is playing right into the hands of the opposition here, and anyone willing to view the situation objectively can see that.

Who REALLY BENEFITS FROM ALL THIS CRAZY TALK???

NOT Trump. The convention would get suspended, and the RNC would use the rules in place to choose their candidate. Even if it didn’t get suspended, and he DID get the nomination, a low of independents, moderates, Dems/Bernie people etc. who were considering voting for him would take one look at THAT mess and say “nope”. Because for years now, the media has been using mass perception manipulation to convince average people that  only “certain types” of “demonstrations” are acceptable. Others are bad, evil  and dangerous. And as we know, the media is very good at using the kinds of tools Cambridge Analytica and other companies like them provide to influence and dramatically alter public perception. Of course there is no PROOF that C.A. or its parent company is involved in any “projects” here….But P.S. has been a part of our media and more for quite a while.

BEYOND THAT, Ask yourself, who really benefits if there is a major civil disturbance DURING AN EVENT THAT IS COVERED BY LAWS GOVERNING NATIONAL EVENTS SECURED BY THE SECRET SERVICE?? The convention is NOT like a Trump rally, Secret Service wise. This is an entirely different thing, that falls under NATIONAL SECURITY all the way.

And that means that if it is DISRUPTED, OR PROTESTS OCCUR, THERE ARE FELONY CHARGES, and more, that can be levied–up to and including terrorism.

And that, people, is exactly why the events Roger Stone is trying to cause, deliberately, must NOT occur.

The Media is Actively Lying. As Are The GOPers. And People WHO KNOW BETTER Are Promoting Actions They KNOW Will Benefit Only The Government, The GOPers, Or Other Parties Intent On Continuance Of The Current System–NOT AMERICA, OR AMERICANS.

Does this seem logical to you? The Tin Foil Hat crowd would call this a “psy-op”, or a “false flag”.  Many of them are, as a matter of fact–and given the utter lack of internal or external logic here, when you view the actions of all the parties in the context of the current state America is in, I’d say they are absolutely 100%v correct to do so.

And I know a psy-op when I see one.

Everyone needs to put their own emotions aside, and consider Stone’s actions of late OBJECTIVELY. Also look at his past associations, and present ones. This is NOT a man whose advice I’d be following at any time. And especially NOT NOW, and not this advice. Because he knows better–and he is encouraging the worse course of action anyway.

There is another course of action that CAN work, and that is a small demonstration (10-20,000) at the convention, and demonstrations of all sizes, in every city and state across the nation, simultaneously. Mobilizing 30-40 MILLION Americans nationwide while giving the feds NO REASON TO CALL IN THE GUARD OR CANCEL THE CONVENTION IN CLEVELAND is the only reasonable choice, if we want to prevail.

Stone knows that. Alex Jones also knows that. So you might want to ask yourself in the case of Stone, why am I listening to him when I know how dangerous his “idea” is?  

In the case of Alex Jones, who as THE foremost investigator of conspiracies and the inner workings of our government ABSOLUTELY KNOWS WHAT PLANS THEY HAVE IN PLACE AND ALSO KNOWS WHAT KINDS OF PEOPLE  ARE MANIPULATING OUR THINKING AND HAVE BEEN FOR DECADES NOW–

Why isn’t he sounding the alarm about plans HE KNOWS ARE IN PLACE, plans that will forever alter our republic if an event like this happens? And why is he encouraging Roger Stone?

Inquiring Minds want to know….

The Cleveland Endgame & Math Geeks From Hades

We’ve been talking now, a bit, about Psychographic Segmentation, Cambridge Analytica, SCL Group, and the math geeks from Hades. For those new to this, Cruz, the “Banker’s Husband”, hired Cambridge Analytica, the top company in the world in this esoteric field, to work with his campaign. You can find the back story on this here, and here. Given that this firm specializes in (to put it diplomatically) “sweeping political change”, they bear close watching.

And some people have indeed been watching, tracking, analyzing and planning a counter move to the predicted endgame, whatever the trigger would be, for a very long time. The research began over a decade ago, when SCL Group’s participation in those sweeping political changes was finally proven mathematically, as far as it could be. The plan itself, Silent Patriot, went into final design phase over 2 years ago.

While it may seem odd to talk about something like a political demonstration as having a “design phase”, keep in mind–when you are dealing with PS, you are dealing with mathematics, and constructing a model, an equation. On one side, you are setting up a series of circumstances, or a series of metrics you want to target, for instance. On the other side of the equal sign, you will get an “answer”, which if you are selling pink poodle purses will tell you exactly where to place your ads, and how to design them. If you’re staging an uprising, it will tell you what to expect.

Different “models”–sets of equations that fit together like puzzle pieces–yield different outcomes. so you can “game” different scenarios. For instance, what would happen if we had a nice natural disaster, and the military started confiscating firearms? Or, what if you had a terrorist attack in some small country that had been bragging about how peaceful it was? How could the presentation of the event in another, larger country far away, shape public perception and change the mass dynamic?

Remember, these people don’t just use specific language, in terms of spoken language. Visual images and audio are also forms of language. The visual and audio component of everything from news forecasts to presidential debates is very carefully designed to elicit certain responses in target audiences. If you take an event like those in Ferguson, for instance, the contextual framework, the narrative, was designed to elicit a specific response from a certain demographic metric.

Because the news was out live and “raw”, the very first story set the narrative–one of a “gentle giant”, just an over-sized teen, being gunned down in cold blood. The resulting “demonstrations” were framed as righteous anger from despairing friends and family, in reaction to what was perceived as just the most recent injustice in a long string of injustices. As the narrative progressed and the inconvenient “facts” started to combat that narrative, other contextual information was put in place to “balance” the equation, so the first side equaled the desired answer. So that 2+2 really did equal 4.

And all across cyberspace, data was being retrieved, and millions of individual data points were tracked, collated, categorized, and analyzed by math geeks in dozens of think tanks, firms like C.A. and SCL Group, government agencies and military intelligence units. And the resulting analyses were added to mountains of other incidents that had been analysed, some spontaneous things like reactions to the Tsunami in Japan, and some planned things that were carried out by different interests.

And sometimes, they get lucky and get a combination–a convenient natural disaster occurs, and some active intelligence group uses the opportunity to test a possible future scenario, and measure the outcome and rebound, because that particular disaster fit within the parameters of a potential operation. So if someone wanted to test how easily citizens would allow themselves to be disarmed at the worst possible time, right after a major natural disaster for instance, and a fire, tornado, earthquake or hurricane pops up in an area where the population fits within the parameters of the original question, they count themselves lucky and get to work.

Every event that happens isn’t planned, of course–too many variables have to be taken into account. But companies like this, and the governments and individuals that hire them, are working on very long project times, because it does take a decade or so to set up a target population. When you’re working towards a goal a decade or more away, it’s rather like thin streams of water eroding rock over centuries. you can set off very small changes, in very localized areas, and watch them spread and grow, and begin to take on a life of their own. Over days, weeks, months and years of steady tweaking of language, be it verbal, written, visual or auditory (or all of those), mass perception changes, and when spontaneous events happen, or natural disasters or economic meltdowns, they are opportunities to make more drastic changes, and speed up the process.

Manipulation of mass perception is nothing new–it’s been around since at least Viet Nam. But what can be done now is far more comprehensive than what could be done then. Just like the first VCRs were the size of suitcases and cost 400.00, while the newest DVD player is the size of a trade paperback and costs 30.00, technology moves on. And in this case, that technology has some very disturbing implications, given how it is already being used.

 

 

Why I Picked On The Math Geeks….

Since the two posts came out on Cambridge Analytica, it has been an interesting night/day….Quite a few math geeks who either use tools produced by C.A. and other like enterprises, or help make them, are upset that I appeared to blame psychographic segmentation entirely on them. “But…But…Our work is only half the equation. The other half is the head shrinkers!” The aforementioned “head shrinkers” are demanding to know why I haven’t given them credit for THEIR half of the equation–after all, without their deep insight into psychological issues like motivation, stressors, and triggers, all the math wouldn’t count.

And then there are those that use these tools professionally, always, who are simply displaying various levels of preening and condescension, and chuckling about “tin foil hats”…While opining that all the shouting from the rooftops won’t make a difference anyway.

Inquiring Minds Want To Know….

• Do you find yourself feeling relieved at having “pulled the plug” on cable and news, once the withdrawal phase has passed? Happier, lighter of heart, sleeping better, having fewer stomach problems and headaches?
• Noticing things around you that seem different or new, then finding out from others (who shut off the programming a while ago, or never watched to begin with) that those things are not new, they have been there “forever”?
• Do you find if you go back to heavy news viewing, all those happy happy feelings disappear, and you feel worse than you did before?
• Do you find yourself thinking WTF? when you watch a live Trump rally, then watch an MSM “recap” of the same rally?
• Or even more common, have you attended a Trump rally, then watched the coverage later on TV, and wondered if they accidentally are showing an entirely different event than the one you were at?

PS has been a very real and very pervasive part of American life for decades, in one form or another. But only in the last decade or so has it assumed a dominant role, especially in the very vital world of TV news and politics. Its use in both media and politics makes perfect sense, when you consider it objectively. Running a political campiagn, or a TV station, takes a LOT of money. As such, if you’re a politician, being able to use tools that allow you to drop the cost per vote as low as possible is simply smart business.

And TV channels run on advertising. It’s their life blood. This is true of all “serious” TV channels, meaning those that everyone isn’t stuck with because they bought themselves a slot in a cable bundle. This is especially true of the “news” channels, like FOX and CNN, because instead of the old fashioned 5 a.m. to midnight news cycle, we now have a 24/7 news cycle. So what can a poor innocent news channel do to make itself stand out from the crowd, to gain market share in such a competitive world?

Just A Thought For A Real Alternative….

I have the answer! A new news alternative, that will really give the people the whole story. It would blow the other networks right out of the ratings game, especially during elections! MY network, for instance, would frame themselves as “The only Fair and Balanced News”. We can hire talking heads  that are thought to be neutral, fair, and balanced, and add in a real firebrand or two from each end of the political spectrum. We can have our video editors frame the presentations so that some parts are “center/right” and others are “center/left”.  And for a really cool special show, we can have the whole video right there, and have experts or authority figures meet and have an open debate/discussion!

Wow, I can see it now, so clearly….

We’ll  have a nice table  with one  conservative, one liberal, and one or two neutral figures–with minimal clutter in the background, dark neutral clothing choices for men, brighter solid clothing choices for women, dark table, no clutter to distract attention. The two neutrals will usually be one male and one female, the two opposing views may be the same gender, but for maximum contrast, I’d try for one female, one male, of different race or ethnicity.

And the final player is the opener/closer–giving us five at our table. It will be YUUUUUGE! We’ll own the ratings, and the advertisers will be thrilled, and the people will be getting what they always wanted, some fair balanced media they can trust. They’ll be die hard viewers, with us forever!

They’ll never watch any other channels, and they’ll finally see that all those OTHER guys are nothing but spin doctors and programmers, brainwashing people with mind control and programming provided by their NWO/Bilderberger/Tri-Lateral commission/U.N. paid for narrative designed to create mindless puppets, sheeple that will blindly vote as they wish, think as they wish, and riot when they wish.

Yep–real, accurate media, commercials, news and election coverage, is coming to a neighborhood near you, any time now…..Or not. I’m pretty sure everyone will recognize that network I was dreaming about up there. And once we’ve dug more into what exactly firms like C.A. are capable of, and why it works, you’ll see that we don’t really have, or even need to have, mysterious shadow groups for people to obsess over.

The Math Geeks Are The Important Ones.

The effective “ruling the world” scenario can be reduced to simple mathematical equations, and is a natural consequence that arises from how the universe, and other complex systems operate–because they MUST operate that way. Laws of Math, and Laws of Physics, are LAWS. And everything around us operates within that framework.

Does that mean that the Bilderberg Group, Agenda 21, and the Tri-Lateral Commission aren’t real? Not at all, of course they are. But they aren’t unnatural, sinister things. They came about the same way that “Art Imitates Life”, and the same way that PS has always been around, but until recently there was no practical way to map out and create a context, from a mathematical point of view, to express what people already did.

The universe runs on math, and so do all other complex systems. Sometimes, that math is expressed by the pattern of a honey comb, or a chrysanthemum–both examples of Fibonacci sequences. Sometimes, it is used to rate subjective things–like religious commitment, political leanings, or depth of social engagement–on objective scales, and assign values to them.

Because when you can define something mathematically, you can then express other things using that math. And you can also track trends, measure changes over time, introduce new variables, and more. The head shrinkers provide the “context”. But it is the math geeks that then translate those very subjective contextual perceptions into hard, objective numbers.

 

So, when you’re looking at PS and what it can do, there is a silver lining to this cloud, and this silver lining, BTW, is not strontium 90, and doesn’t glow in the dark :-). This silver lining is that there ARE limits to what PS can do, in two major ways. One is the basic limitations of math in a complex system. The other is that while the math can be used as a framework to communicate the subjective objectively, you have the ultimate control over your own world view–once you finally realize that PS isn’t a tin foil hat concept, and it is far more prevalent than most believe, and you learn to recognize its effects objectively.

 

 

 

 

Ted Cruz, Robert Mercer, And The Math Geeks From Hades Part 2

At this point, you’re probably wondering why what appears to be a marketing firm costs so much danged money, and why those who are hobbyists, enthusiasts, or work in this esoteric field turn white and begin looking around when they are mentioned. What you read in part 1 was literally the very small tip of a very big iceberg. Because the highly specialized algorithms and metrics C.A. uses can also read your mind–sort of. This company doesn’t just know the “externals” about you, they also have a really accurate read on the internals, stressors, and triggers.

They can look at your individual data set, which can contain at any given time hundreds of thousands of discreet data points, and run it through a variety of filters, screening out things they aren’t interested in, adding other items in. A company like Cambridge may track and scale (meaning assign values based on their own proprietary scale) anywhere from 4 or 5 dozen metrics, to thousands. they can determine whether you are religious, and your likely flavor of religion, as well as how committed you are. They can tell if you are happy. Where you stand politically, and on social issues, and how likely you are to vote, or volunteer for a political party.

It isn’t an exaggeration to say that these math geeks from Hades are the current equivalent of Hari Seldon, from Asimov’s Foundation Series. You might remember that one–the two foundations, one writing a Galactic Encyclopedia, the other a secretive team of math geeks shaping the flow of society, and predicting where it would end up….And you might remember where the second foundation, the Math Geeks who became psychics and Svengali in one, were. We’ve come full circle, so to speak. Just as our political spectrum isn’t really a line, but a circle, a continuum, all that we are, and all that is happening around us, is a continuum, that can be mapped, charted, predicted, and influenced. 

And, the information they collect has other, less innocent, uses.

Now doesn’t that preceding link’s language look….Interesting? Yep.That is another related firm in the field, though  not nearly up to the standard of Cambridge Analytica’s parent company, SCL Group. And here is SCL’s Home Page.

Well, now. Is it just me, or does it seem a little bit odd that Cambridge Analytica is giving bargain basement rates to a potential President of the USA?

And that Robert Mercer happens to owe the IRS several Billion dollars, and Ted Cruz has promised to abolish the IRS?

Well, of course! It’s all so clear now (insert sigh of relief here, folks). Obviously Mercer figures his ongoing support of BREITBART , financing of Cruz, and backing Cruz with the power of C.A. is sheer philanthropy, using his staggering wealth to preserve the cause of conservatism against the rabid depredations of the left. The fact that he also owns part of Breitbart–and that Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway both worked for/with Mercer, is obviously coincidental.

I’m sure the connections to mass perception management, government misinformation/disinformation projects, and former spies of all types is just one of those random coincidences that happen. And as for the long list of coups that seem to happen when SCL Group (and their child, Cambridge Analytica) are “working with governments”?

Strictly coincidence. As Obi Wan Kenobi once said–“These aren’t the droids you’re looking for. You can go about your business. Move Along”.

And then, he turned to Luke and said…..

 

In a later post, likely Monday or Tuesday, I’ll be telling you a little more about the fascinating world of what Hari Seldon called PsychoHistory.

 

Ted Cruz, Robert Mercer, And The Math Geeks From Hades.

This is the first post on the issue of Ted Cruz, Robert Mercer, and a shadow firm called Cambridge Analytica. The beginning of this story is somewhat vague, as I haven’t found a solid source for how Ted Cruz and Robert Mercer met, or whose idea it was to hire Cambridge Analytica. National Review first mentioned the alliance almost exactly 1 year ago, with an article discussing a super PAC’s intent to raise 31 million dollars for Cruz.

Mercer, at that time, had already gotten a reputation during the 2012 cycle as a BIG money man. The hedge fund guru had donated huge chunks of money to various PACs and conservative candidates and causes during that cycle.

Why he tapped Cruz is a mystery, at this point. Mercer is notoriously close mouthed, in part because he spends so much time with computers and writing code that he rarely speaks. Computers are not the best conversationalists, and neither are the bot programs he invented that brought him his amazing wealth and reputation in the hedge fund world.

However they met, Mercer and family decided to back Cruz, not only with money, but with the services of literally the best psychographic segmentation firm in the world, Cambridge Analytica. According to The Guardian, in a  series of very revealing interviews, Cruz’s campaign decided to hire Cambridge as they are a “market leader”. Now this is likely disingenuous, for a few reasons:

• Mercer was already backing Cruz at the time these interviews were done, and had been for almost 8 months. Given that Mercer is the money man behind Cambridge (and the reported fees Cruz paid are bargain basement, something we’ll get into later), it seems unlikely Cruz looked further than his benefactor’s pet project.
• This “market leader” is far more than that–something else that will be more closely examined in the next post. In truth, Cambridge Analytica and its parent firm SCL Group, are light years ahead of their field. Calling them mere “market leaders” is like comparing a pinto to a Ferrari. The app firm that magically appeared and produced Cruz’s data hoovering iPhone app is technically a “market leader” (as they were the first to combine specialized metric algorithms in an app, not because they are the best). Cambridge’s roots go back decades, and nobody can do what they do. We saw them at work in Iowa, as a matter of fact.

However it really happened, Cruz found himself the proud client of the best there is, and with 750,000.00 to start the ball rolling. Dr. Carson also used their services for what appears to be a very minor project, judging by the cost–likely just some close order targeting, campaign materials, crafted talking points, and other little things. Cruz got, and is getting, far more than that.

Cambridge Analytica specializes in, as mentioned, psychographic segmentation. The preceding link gives a good basic explanation, but here’s  one for those who don’t want to interrupt the story, and one that brings it home, so to speak:

• People fit in little cubby holes. These cubby holes, and the characteristics they represent, are assigned letters or numbers, or both. by using social media data, cookies, browsing behavior, and time spent on sites, P.S. analysts will assign you a code. Based on this  code, the ad company knows to show you sheets from Egypt, or pink blingy purses for poodles. and once you have bought one pink blingy poodle purse, when next you’re online, you’ll be offered a matching pink blingy poodle bed, or personalized poodle harness, and every time you buy, the code changes. And the next time, you’re offered something slightly more expensive, from another store.

So, if you are a C1IMH, you’d be a lower middle class risk taker, married, no children, and typically almost broke. Add in the information from Facebook, and we know you like grunge bands from Seattle, dirty jokes, and you have a sister and a perpetually broken down Ford F150. Add in the few times you’ve bought on Amazon, and we know that you like to dream about expensive fishing gear, but end up buying the cheapest 10 pound test available, then you head to Walmart.com, where you buy sinkers, bobbers, and chartruese scampis–which means you’re bottom jigging somewhere, BTW :-).

And along the way, everything you do online, anywhere, is recorded, and slipped into a little cubby. Companies like C.A. Often buy data from or enter into sharing arrangements with grocery stores or other businesses that offer reward cards, to get more information, on you. And then, when a company that makes custom poodle clothing pays the firm a fee, C.A. works with them and produces the perfect ad, for a hefty fee. The ad that makes YOU decide the second time you see it that whatever it is, you can’t live without it.

And that is only the beginning of what they collect, how they calculate it, and what they know about you. Because, once upon a time, Cambridge Analytica was involved in the biggest Hoovering job ever–they “Hoovered”, or vacuumed up, all the Facebook data (and heaven knows what other social media data) in the entire. United. States.

The Silent Patriot Movement

For those considering a vacation to Cleveland this July, a modest proposal:

Be a silent patriot. Bring your flag, and simply walk in silence, and stand in silence, wherever you are. Do NOT obstruct traffic, or block businesses. Do NOT answer questions, or wear candidate gear. Do NOT yell, chant, or react to anything people do to you.

Be like Buckingham Palace guards.

Why?

• ATTENTION.  If thousands of people just randomly appear in Cleveland, not just at the convention but other areas also and do this–it will create a firestorm of speculation. What is the message?
• IMPACT. Imagine 5-6000 people doing this around the convention, and in public parks and elsewhere, with more showing up all the time–and none of them saying anything at all. None reacting to attempts at provocation. 5000 silent people has far more impact than 5000 chanting people–because the viewer has minimal data to go on, the viewer automatically personalizes the message. In other words, the pro-life person sees a pro-life patriot, the Christian sees a Christian soldier…..The less context provided, the easier it is for a viewer to personalize the message.
• THE MEDIA. The media would be going batty trying to get people to talk, give them ANY information, and they would be speculating endlessly on what we’re doing. This would have even more impact if people around the country pulled silent patriot demonstrations in front of their government buildings or in other public areas the same day.
• THE LEGAL ANGLE. It is against the law to demonstrate at, or otherwise disrupt, the convention. By doing this, we aren’t “demonstrating” by typical public definition, because we aren’t wearing candidate gear, not chanting, no signs. And we’re not disrupting because we’re not blocking access to the convention or creating a disturbance.

So–picture what would happen if, on the first day of the convention, tens of thousands of silent patriots were around the convention center, and in the public parks in Cleveland, and across the USA in cities and towns, on freeway overpasses…

And further, picture what the American people would think if BLM and paid agitators were getting in our faces, shouting, spitting, being abusive–and we ignored them…And the media were stuffing microphones in our faces, and we acted as though they didn’t exist.

And then the police show up.

This is where it gets interesting. Because if we were lucky enough to be being harassed and assaulted by the paid agitators and BLM types, the police would be forced to arrest them. Not to do so would send a vivid message to everyone watching the events unfold on TV around the world, a message the uniparty can’t afford to send. It would show every American that there is effectively no rule of law, any more. It would show them the true face of these violent movements.

The question then becomes what would they do about us? What would it look like on TV is the police began arresting, around the country and in Cleveland, people who were doing nothing illegal at all?  Who weren’t inciting violence, creating a disturbance, being abusive to anyone? Imagine the message THAT would send around the world, folks. Every American would see themselves in our shoes. The average person would be asking themselves: “If the police can arrest THEM for doing nothing, how safe am I? When did it become illegal to carry a flag? To walk around minding your own business?

The uniparty WANTS A REAL DEMONSTRATION. THEY WANT US TO BE WEARING MAGA GEAR, AND CHANTING, AND DISRUPTING. WE MUST NOT GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT. WE MUST CHANGE THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT, OR WE LOSE WHERE IT MATTERS, IN THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION.

We Must Be Silent Patriots.
