And the narrative cracks
with a simple illustrative joke
Joke:
Translation: it’s only real if you believe it
I was always surprised during the Covid Scamdemic that no one connected it to the October 30, 1938, H.G Wells: War of the Worlds, read on the radio. Like - where are all the academics, no one else studied this event? Oh I imagined all those classes and assignments? (lol) Has no one else read: Neil Postman’s Amusing Ourselves to Death. Pretty sure that was best seller, and here is the cookie-cutter blueprint for mass-behavior experiment conditioning being played out in front of us - now pretending to be real.
It was so blatantly obvious to me. I was like “yeah I read about this in history class like six times, I know other people were in class with me, is no one else seeing this?” But such is life.
Fear as the Weapon…the experiment gone wrong
The radio show was directed by the young, upcoming, ambitious, and soon to be exceptionally famous - Orson Welles. And was a re-telling of the (by then) 40 year old, famous book/story.
What set people off - it was read as though it was happening. It was a broadcast radio program, the night before Halloween mind you, but - set in a realistic news format manner. Even though, it was pure theatrical performance, people really believed it was happening. “No one involved with War of the Worlds expected to deceive any listeners, because they all found the story too silly and improbable to ever be taken seriously. The Mercury’s desperate attempts to make the show seem halfway believable succeeded, almost by accident, far beyond even their wildest expectations.”
Orson Welles (arms raised) rehearses his radio depiction of H.G. Wells’ classic, The War of the Worlds. The broadcast, which aired on October 30, 1938, and claimed that aliens from Mars had invaded New Jersey, terrified thousands of Americans.
Broadcast Hysteria: Orson Welles’s War of the Worlds and the Art of Fake News
On the evening of October 30, 1938, radio listeners across the U.S. heard a startling report of mysterious creatures and terrifying war machines moving toward New York City. But the hair-raising broadcast was not a real news bulletin—it was Orson Welles’ adaptation of the H. G. Wells classic “The War of the Worlds.
Millions of radio listeners were shocked when radio news alerts announced the arrival of Martians. They panicked when they learned of the Martians’ ferocious and seemingly unstoppable attack on Earth. Many ran out of their homes screaming while others packed up their cars and fled.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the most terrifying thing I have ever witnessed. . . . Wait a minute! Someone’s crawling. Someone or . . . something. I can see peering out of that black hole two luminous disks . . . are they eyes? It might be a face. It might be . . . good heavens, something’s wriggling out of the shadow like a gray snake. Now it’s another one, and another one, and another one. They look like tentacles to me. There, I can see the thing’s body. It’s large as a bear and it glistens like wet leather. But that face, it . . . ladies and gentlemen, it’s indescribable. I can hardly force myself to keep looking at it, it’s so awful. The eyes are black and gleam like a serpent. The mouth is kind of V-shaped with saliva dripping from its rimless lips that seem to quiver and pulsate.”
All across the United States, listeners reacted. Thousands of people called radio stations, police and newspapers. Many in the New England area loaded up their cars and fled their homes. In other areas, people went to churches to pray. People improvised gas masks.
Miscarriages and early births were reported. Deaths, too, were reported but never confirmed. Many people were hysterical. They thought the end was near.
And what was the lesson ‘they’ LEARNED ?
Yeah that’s really obvious, isn’t it?
Hello Covid Scare Mass-Media!
In school we read about this event in countless grades. Each year, going into it in greater detail. Fun assignments, and reading the broadcast transcript in class. Hitting the big plot moments and declarations with emotion and emphasis. I always enjoyed those days. But we also got down to the deep aspect - why people believed it. I always understood it deep down. Most kids just laughed at the silly “old timers.” It was real, cause they believed it was real. Really that was it, simplified down.
It was in our History Books each year from middle school all the way up. I hope it’s still in history class, if we even still have history class. IDK
Why it worked…
People turned on their radio - they were rural - more isolated - still many small family farms - not that much formal education - and because it was on the “News,” they assumed it had to be real. I got it then. I get it now. People had transitioned away from physical/observable/touchable news reality, and moved into where we are now - believing things when they are told to you by media. Government is there to help and inform (and all that bullshit).
Everyone in the class always laughed at how silly and gullible, and foolish the people that freaked out were. I didn’t. I got it. People had started being trained to believe what they heard on media as real (with no doubt). Just as we have been. And a lot of what was on the radio - was real back then. Radio was the new cutting edge media broadcast technology - ubiquitous, and soon to be in everyone’s house. So to them - if the “news” was telling them Aliens are here, well then - you default to believing them. Why would they ‘lie?’
And what happened during Covid?
I don’t need to tell you, do I?
Oh that same lesson got played back on everyone that didn’t pay attention in history class, didn’t it? Yup - big fucking time. Reality is now what they tell you it is, rather than what you observe. Same lesson, just different tech! You got schooled son!
The same fucking thing. The exact same fucking thing!
Except this time it wasn’t only fear was it? No! No it was not. It was fear to get you do something. Yeah. And what did they get you to do? Well pretty much anything. Yeah. Kids are gonna read about YOU now. And laugh at your gullible ass. But it’s more than that. Cause this time it wasn’t just fear to make you panic. No. It was fear to get you to inject your ass with some nanotech hardware to connect your dumbass to the Digital Control Grid. And that? That is much, much, much worse than just being scared of Aliens!
And now you see why the Amish didn’t ‘get’ Covid. Cause they weren’t listening to our media.
And since it wasn’t really happening. They didn’t panic and lose their minds. Reality is what you can see, touch, feel, taste, and hear (with your own ears). It’s not on a screen!
