Are we all being Brainwashed ?

Post by Die Judicii » 08 Jul 2014, 10:16 pm

So, are we being brainwashed without really realizing it ?

It has been scientifically shown that the color "BLUE" is the most soothing / calming color that we see.

On that basis, I have found it most interesting to take note of many adverts that appear on TV.

One in particular stands out head and shoulders above the rest (in Queensland)

Check out the ad in relation to what the Qld government are doing to reduce the state debt.

Shame on you Premier for engaging the shrinks to soothe the angry mob. :roll: :roll: :roll:

When an ex CIA agent says "it's a good idea to limit your time watching TV" you do start to wonder about this "subliminal messaging" activity. Que Conspiracy Theory.

From my many years watching society "come apart at the seams," there might be some credibility to these "crazy theories."

Ever seen a person high on ice?

One of the scariest moments of my life and having to climb trees to avoid "pi$$ed off boars or sows" didn't compare to this moment.

I'm pretty sure the 'subliminal messaging' thing is busted.

The story I'm told is that some time back in the 80's or thereabouts some bigshot advertising guy said he'd used subliminal to sell all this stuff and make a big name for himself.

Later though he came out and admitted it was a sham and he'd made it up.

I'm sure there is definitely something to influencing thoughts, but not in the "subliminal message" kind of way like Hollywood movies show ya.

Dunno so much...

Try putting an advert on TV for a product, and feature a pic of the product and its price in the middle of a large "Bullseye" or "Spiral" and see how long it lasts.

I was told some years back that the advertising watchdog gurus banned such practice or at least tried to.

Something to do with the psych effect of drawing the eye to the centre.

Anyway, its food for thought.

while I'm not on the boat in relation to "subliminal messaging" not to say it does not exist because it probably does but in relation to sub key programming the human brain these days is very open to suggestive content whether it be auditory or visual. We are even more suggestive when we are asleep. everything you think due to suggestion saturation is not your own thought or idea...

with that said one of the most important lessons here is "why have we been programmed by the media and Government to reject "conspiricy" and or Conspiricy theory" and uphold the status quo with a vengeance and close our minds off to anything external of main stream content? there is allot more things that you need to ask yourself? like why I/you think the way we think? for allot of people the answer would probably sound a little like this " because I watch and or listen to the information presented to me via the government and or the main stream information outlets "

look I'm going to try something out on you in relation to food for thought? ok? "YOU ARE NAIVE IDIOTS" ok so with that in mind, never ever forget to ask questions about what your being spoon fed =D!

Pajamatime, great comment!

I have a theory.

I believe in everything until I'm proven or shown different. Do I think there are aliens walking amongst us - who knows? Nobody can provide 100% evidence of no or yes. So, I have an open mind on this one.

The rich getting richer and the rest of us get squat. Yep, see this everyday.

There's a hell of a lot going on that we aren't aware of.

That I do know!

I think maybe we're talking about different things when we say "subliminal messaging". This is Wiki's definition of "subliminal":

Subliminal stimuli... are any sensory stimuli below an individual's threshold for conscious perception.

[an example is]...Audio stimuli may be played below audible volumes or masked by other stimuli.


You know how "they" have said in the past companies subliminally try to get kids to start smoking and that kind of thing... Like you're seeing advertisements that have nothing to do with smoking, but want to start smoking after seeing the ads because of something "subliminal" in them. I don't believe anything like that exists.

I'm not in advertising but I get that if you want to advertising a relaxing beach spa you use blues (water) not red (fire). On the flip side, if you're selling hot sauce you don't make your label nice relaxing blues and greens.

I'm sure everyone gets this and seeing any of the above examples would obviously be aware something 'wasn't right' about the ad or packaging.

Advertising or packaging can be more or less appropriate, more or less effective, get more or less sales, but I don't believe there is anything "subliminal" about it. Just more or less convincing.

That's my view.
