The Soda Pop Board of America (1950s)

1950s SPBoA's advertising campaign promoting early cola consumption on ...infants!

[The 'fine print'...it's crazy!]

How soon is too soon?

Not soon enough. Laboratory tests over the last few years have proven that babies who start drinking soda during that early formative period have a much higher chance of gaining acceptance and "fitting in" during those awkward pre-teen and teen years. So, do yourself a favor. Do your child a favor. Start them on a strict regimen of sodas and other sugary carbonated beverages right now, for a lifetime of guaranteed happiness.

- Promotes Active Lifestyle!
- Boosts Personality!
- Gives body essential sugars!

Los anglovenecianos detrás del Banco Santander

http://spanish.larouchepac.com/news/2010/02/15/los-anglovenecianos-detr-s-del-santander.html

por John Hoefle

Mucha gente, cuando piensan en bancos como el Banco Santander, tienden a pensar sobre estos como instituciones individuales, cuando, en verdad, el mundo de las finanzas está dominado por redes de instituciones cuyas conexiones son muchas veces solo parcialmente reveladas, y muy a menudo ocultas para que no las vean. Cuando de las "altas" finanzas se trata, el mundo es mucha más pequeño de lo que puedes sospechar.
El Banco Santander es un buen ejemplo de cómo funciona el sistema oligárquico. Por encima, parece que fuera un banco regional español cuya experiencia lo catapultó hacia una operación de la elite internacional; pero cuando miras debajo de esa fachada, te encuentras muy rápidamente en las negras entrañas del imperio angloveneciano. Detrás del Banco Santander se encuentran algunas de las fuerzas internacionales más poderosas y criminales.

Nexos ocultos

El Banco Santander es miembro de un consorcio bancario europeo, el Grupo Inter-Alpha. Este grupo formado en 1971 consiste de 11 bancos. Además del Santander, también forman parte el Royal Bank of Scotland (Banco Real de Escocia), el banco italiano Intesa Sanpaolo, el banco francés Societe Generale, el banco alemán Commerzbank, el banco ING de los Países Bajos, el KBC de Bélgica, el Nordea de Suecia, el Banco Nacional de Grecia, el Banco Espirito Santo de Portugal y el AIB de Irlanda. Sus operaciones combinadas cubren gran parte de Europa, incluyendo una penetración significativa en el antiguo bloque soviético, los Estados Unidos e Iberoamérica.
[...]
El poder detrás del Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) es la monarquía británica. Una de las posesiones del RBS es Coutts & Co., que es tal vez el primer banco privado en el mundo. Coutts, cuyo logotipo consiste en tres coronas, provee de servicios bancarios muy discretos a los miembros de la familia real británica, a familias reales extranjeras, y a muchos prominentes agentes imperiales en todo el mundo.
El RBS es una de las dos firmas que hizo una alianza estratégica con el Banco Santander. La otra es la Assicuracioni Generali ("Generali"), la aseguradora veneciana gigante que se posa como una araña al centro de la red de las finanzas venecianas. El presidente de la Generali, Antoine Bernheim, hizo la mayor parte de su carrera con Lazard, el poderoso banco de inversiones. Bernheim es además director de otros dos miembros del Grupo Inter-Alpha, el Banco Santander y el Intesa Sanpaolo, del cual es vicepresidente. Ana Patricia Botín, quien aprendió sobre la actividad bancaria en el banco JP Morgan y ahora forma parte del directorio del Banco Santander y preside su subsidiaria Banesto, es también directora de la Generali. José María Amusategui, antiguo copresidente del Santander, forma parte del consejo directivo de la Generali, y las dos firmas entrecruzan propiedades.
[...]
El Banco Santander, y el Grupo Inter-Alpha en su conjunto, se debe ver como un instrumento de la monarquía británica y de los venecianos. Tales redes bien acopladas son un componente clave de cómo dirigen el mundo. El número de países en que operan estos bancos es demasiado grande como para darlas a conocer aquí, pero incluye a todas las naciones importantes del planeta, desde Europa Occidental y Oriental, hasta las naciones BRIC -Brasil, Rusia, India y China- hasta Norte y Sur América, Asia y África. Desde centros financieros hasta paraísos fiscales extraterritoriales, desde naciones que ellos controlan hasta naciones que les gustaría manejar, estos bancos y otros como ellos tienen actividades.

What Would Jesus Buy?

An examination of the commercialization of Christmas in America while following Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping Gospel Choir on a cross-country mission to save Christmas from the Shopocalypse (the end of humankind from consumerism, over-consumption and the fires of eternal debt.) The film also delves into issues such as the role sweatshops play in America’s mass consumerism and Big-Box Culture. From the humble beginnings of preaching at his portable pulpit on New York City subways, to having a congregation of thousands – Bill Talen (aka Rev. Billy) has become the leader of not just a church, but a national movement.

Weaponizing Mozart

· How Britain is using classical music as a form of social control.
http://reason.com/archives/2010/02/24/weoponizing-mozart

by Brendan O'Neill

In recent years Britain has become the Willy Wonka of social control, churning out increasingly creepy, bizarre, and fantastic methods for policing the populace. But our weaponization of classical music—where Mozart, Beethoven, and other greats have been turned into tools of state repression—marks a new low.
We’re already the kings of CCTV. An estimated 20 per cent of the world’s CCTV cameras are in the UK, a remarkable achievement for an island that occupies only 0.2 per cent of the world’s inhabitable landmass.
A few years ago some local authorities introduced the Mosquito, a gadget that emits a noise that sounds like a faint buzz to people over the age of 20 but which is so high-pitched, so piercing, and so unbearable to the delicate ear drums of anyone under 20 that they cannot remain in earshot. It’s designed to drive away unruly youth from public spaces, yet is so brutally indiscriminate that it also drives away good kids, terrifies toddlers, and wakes sleeping babies.
Police in the West of England recently started using super-bright halogen lights to temporarily blind misbehaving youngsters. From helicopters, the cops beam the spotlights at youths drinking or loitering in parks, in the hope that they will become so bamboozled that (when they recover their eyesight) they will stagger home.
[...]
Britain might not make steel anymore, or cars, or pop music worth listening to, but, boy, are we world-beaters when it comes to tyranny. And now classical music, which was once taught to young people as a way of elevating their minds and tingling their souls, is being mined for its potential as a deterrent against bad behavior.
In January it was revealed that West Park School, in Derby in the midlands of England, was “subjecting” (its words) badly behaved children to Mozart and others. In “special detentions,” the children are forced to endure two hours of classical music both as a relaxant (the headmaster claims it calms them down) and as a deterrent against future bad behavior (apparently the number of disruptive pupils has fallen by 60 per cent since the detentions were introduced.)
ne news report says some of the children who have endured this Mozart authoritarianism now find classical music unbearable. As one critical commentator said, they will probably “go into adulthood associating great music—the most bewitchingly lovely sounds on Earth—with a punitive slap on the chops.” This is what passes for education in Britain today: teaching kids to think “Danger!” whenever they hear Mozart’s Requiem or some other piece of musical genius.
The classical music detentions at West Park School are only the latest experiment in using and abusing some of humanity’s greatest cultural achievements to reprimand youth.

Unplug the Signal

· The Truth Will Not Be Televised.
http://pupaganda.com/originals/Unplug_the_signal.html

by Nathan Janes

Today, the television’s constant signal shapes the conclusions of the masses and produces the collective norm. Through television, the masses can be made to accept the most monstrous distortions of reality. The signal is a chill wind of continuous oppression over the minds of the masses. It controls the management of society and culture, creating uniformity across all subjects.
[...]
The message is, "Be a good consumer; always obey authority; you know nothing; listen only to experts; be content and never question or express new ideas." This signal is being broadcast across millions of screens, indoctrinating the unconscious minds of those who choose this as their only reality. Self-censorship occurs when these individuals become so deeply indoctrinated that they are afraid to discuss any information outside the paradigm of television-created culture; they police their thoughts to ensure they won’t conflict with this culture.
[...]
Virtually all forms of culture are created by the ruling class to build a false sense of reality, ensure social compliance, and control the future course of cultural evolution.
Predictive programming is a tool used by the establishment to acclimate the public to new ideas, trends, beliefs, and threats. It is used through television by including certain situations or ideas within the plots of many fictional shows, familiarizing the viewer with these concepts no matter what they may be watching. Just a few of these subjects include global warming, vaccinations, torture, terrorism, national security, the militarization of police, and the degradation of the family unit. Through predictive programming, television shapes culture and prevents individuals from asking questions.
[...]
Whether it be the threat of a pandemic or terrorism, the constant state of crisis has created a form of mental illness as we are slowly acclimated into an age of crisis. By using Hegelian dialectic, the television promotes the problem, guides our reaction, and presents the solution. We have been trained to accept the life of a prisoner.
[...]
From birth we take the world as it’s presented on television. We don’t question it and any serious criticism of TV is becoming psychologically impossible in society. Who would suspect getting born into a world where everything around you is a continuous lie?
[...]
However, it is a continuous battle to educate the masses for the television remains our greatest threat to individual sovereignty and the largest obstacle to becoming a truly informed individual. Fortunately, unplugging from the signal is easy. The television can simply be turned off. Through doing so, you may realize nearly our entire world is now a hoax; things once known as truth are fake. We have been trained like dogs to be obedient to our television; our master has had our minds on a tight leash. Let us never forget the truth will not be televised.

Miguel Rix: El Nuevo Orden Mundial y Tú - El Proyecto Matriz

Cada vez que camino por la matriz, veo gentes que se mueven de forma frenética. Muchas de estas personas no saben, bien porque no quieren saberlo, bien porque nadie se lo ha contado, que la humanidad por completo está siendo sometida, manipulada y organizada, según los intereses de una minoría supra nacional. Una élite que, más allá del parlamento, de la cámara del congreso, de la organización de naciones unidas, conduce al homo sapiens hacia un sistema de gobierno ya diseñado desde mucho tiempo atrás.

"Salir de la sociedad de crecimiento es salir de las dinámicas de desigualdad"

· "La necesidad de romper con el crecimiento, la ideología del crecimiento y la sociedad del crecimiento" es la base de la teoría del decrecimiento, de la que Serge Latouche es uno de sus impulsores.
http://www.diagonalperiodico.net/Salir-de-la-sociedad-de.html

Entrevista a Serge Latouche
Profesor de la Univerisdad de París XI

DIAGONAL: ¿Qué relación hay entre la idea de decrecimiento y la crítica del concepto de desarrollo?
SERGE LATOUCHE: ‘Desarrollo’ y ‘crecimiento’ son dos palabras que suelen utilizarse indistintamente, aunque existan matices. Generalmente, cuando hablamos de ‘desarrollo’ pensamos en los países del Sur, mientras que cuando hablamos de ’crecimiento’ nos referimos más bien a los países del Norte, pero en cualquier caso es siempre la misma lógica de la acumulación, de la utilidad.
[...]
D.: En un contexto de crisis, la palabra ‘decrecimiento’ puede estar asociada a la pérdida de empleos.
S.L.: Es cierto, pero es al contrario. El decrecimiento, a diferencia del crecimiento negativo o de la crisis, consiste precisamente en salir de esa lógica que condena, de forma obligatoria, a destruir el planeta para crear empleos. A través del decrecimiento, al contrario, crearíamos empleos salvando al planeta; no sólo porque lo reparamos, sino también porque al reducir nuestro consumo, tendremos que producir menos, y teniendo que producir menos, tendremos que trabajar menos. Así, trabajamos menos, pero trabajamos todos. Lo primero que tenemos que repartir es el trabajo, frente al sistema totalmente absurdo en el que hoy vivimos, en el que incluso en Francia hemos suprimido las 35 horas y los trabajadores hacen 40, 50 o incluso 60 horas, mientras que otras personas que querrían trabajar un poco, no pueden hacerlo. Por otra parte, otras propuestas del decrecimiento, como el regreso a una agricultura tradicional y ecológica conllevará la creación de millones de empleos en este sector. La utilización de energías renovables también los creará, al igual que el sector de la reparación y del reciclaje. Algunos incluso piensan que llegaremos a una situación invertida en la que existirán demasiados empleos y faltará mano de obra, porque evidentemente, al no utilizar más el extraordinario potencial energético del petróleo (no hay que olvidar que un bidón de 30 litros de petróleo es el equivalente del trabajo de un obrero durante cinco años), por lo tanto, si ya no nos queda petróleo habrá que trabajar más. Pero tampoco tendremos que trabajar mucho más, porque reduciremos nuestras necesidades, las cuales trataremos de satisfacer sin trabajar demasiado porque también es muy importante no trabajar demasiado. Trabajar demasiado es muy malo.

Cognitive Dissonance through Self-Imposed Ignorance

http://scienceblogs.com/cortex/2010/01/cable_news.php

A new paper by Shawn Powers of USC and Mohammed el-Nawawy of Queens University of Charlotte looked at the effect of international cable news on the ideology of its viewers. Not surprisingly, they found that people were only interested in "news" that didn't contradict what they already believed:
Powers and el-Nawawy show that global media consumers tuned in to international news media that they thought would further substantiate their opinions about U.S. policies and culture, and provide them with information on the international issues that they deemed most important. The study found a strong relationship between the participants' attitudes toward U.S. policy and culture and their choice of broadcaster. Those who were dependent on BBC World and especially CNNI were overall more supportive of U.S. foreign policy.
[...]
The Princeton political scientists Christopher Achen and Larry Bartels analyzed survey data from the 1990's to prove this point. During the first term of Bill Clinton's presidency, the budget deficit declined by more than 90 percent. However, when Republican voters were asked in 1996 what happened to the deficit under Clinton, more than 55 percent said that it had increased. What's interesting about this data is that so-called "high-information" voters (these are the Republicans who read the newspaper, watch cable news and can identify their representatives in Congress) weren't better informed than "low-information" voters. According to Bartels, the reason knowing more about politics doesn't erase partisan bias is that voters tend to only assimilate those facts that confirm what they already believe. If a piece of information doesn't follow Republican talking points (and Clinton's deficit reduction didn't fit the "tax and spend liberal" stereotype) then the information is conveniently ignored.

"Voters think that they're thinking, but what they're really doing is inventing facts or ignoring facts so that they can rationalize decisions they've already made."

The bleak lesson is that we turn the spotlight of attention into an information-filter, a way to block-out disagreeable points of view. Consider this experiment, which was done in the late 1960's, by the cognitive psychologists Timothy Brock and Joe Balloun.
Brock and Balloun played a group of people a tape-recorded message attacking Christianity. Half of the subjects were regular church-goers while the other half were committed atheists. To make the experiment more interesting, Brock and Balloun added an annoying amount of static (a crackle of white noise) to the recording. However, they allowed listeners to reduce the static by pressing a button, so that the message suddenly became easier to understand. Their results were utterly predicable and rather depressing: the non-believers always tried to remove the static, while the religious subjects actually preferred the message that was harder to hear. Later experiments by Brock and Balloun demonstrated a similar effect with smokers listening to a speech on the link between smoking and cancer. We silence the cognitive dissonance through self-imposed ignorance.
