Your Thoughts Our World
Copyright 2005 John Blenkin
We get more information about what happens in the rest of the
world than at any other time in our history. This information is
collected and transformed by the media into gross negative forms
so it can be sold to the public. Our thoughts become based on
screwed-up versions of facts ideas and information. There is a
universal law going round the web which states:
If you think what you want you get what you want. If you think
what you don't want you get what you don't want.
Our world is the manifestation of our thoughts! As our thoughts
are mainly formed by misinformation about what we don't want we
get what we don't want.
A news item is given equal pro and con weight despite their
merit. Some 'but' poltroon view often follows a presidential
comment.
Historically invasions speeches sermons tracts and books
governed thought. Ideas were slow in spreading because travel
was slow. Response to ideas too was slow. Now the speed of
information transfer is equal to the speed of light. Our
thoughts are created in an instant.
Ideas today take the form of information. The media gathers
facts worldwide and prepares them to feed what has become a
worldwide industry. It includes newspapers and magazines press
and photo agencies television radio films books advertising
education rallies marches public-speeches pressure-groups
charities and the Internet.
Information is given a precise spin by the media calculated to
evoke a negative response by its public. If public emotions can
be aroused the media will have changed raw facts and information
into marketable negative newsworthy items. The universal law
transforms these public negative thoughts into the world we see
each day.
How has this principle manifested American foreign policy?
The principle was not observable during World Wars one and two.
Neither was it seen in Korea. Nor was it evident in the Cold War
with Russia. These four wars were victorious for the US and too
for the West. A slightly bemused media was mute in its
celebration of these victories.
The media industry then began to expand then explode. Its
economics forced it to be preoccupied with its own interest. The
media began to see everyone as a member of some minority group.
This formed their marketing philosophy. It set people against
government and policy.
The Vietnamese War fed the media with information suited to the
treatment of negative spin and transformed into cash income. A
negative climate of public opinion was created. The media used
the war to market its product and justify the media's existence.
These self-defeating negatives lost the war for the US with the
Vietcong.
We did not see the principle of media negative spin much in the
wars in Yugoslavia. These wars were successful for the US before
the media had time to affect its outcome.
The principle was not evident in Congo or in Dafur. The US
Government was glad to leave this fight between black races to
the untouchable UN. The wars were not newsworthy without US
involvement in spite of the hundreds of thousands of deaths.
911 for the media was manna from heaven.
This situation was like that of ...Job 3 - v 25. 'For the thing
I greatly feared has come upon me, and that which I was afraid
of has come unto me.'
At 911 negative spins were already built into its news by its
very nature. There was drama disbelief secrets enemies deaths
live-footage plots terrorists Islam impudence outrage defense
security secret services emergency services tears heroism
sacrifice pathos misery happiness survival loss of liberties all
concentrated at the center of American financial power. What a
gift for the media!
To some extent we saw the principle operating in Afghanistan.
We see the principle on a grand scale in Iraq.
We see it in the media's take on global warming floods and
forest fires. We see it in post Wilma and racism. We see it in
Aids in stigma Sars and in Bird Flue. We see it in Third World
debt in Al-Quaida and terrorism. We see it in the black
uprisings in France.
If you think what you want you get what you want. If you think
what you don't want you get what you don't want.
We must guard our thoughts. These automatically become reality
in the physical world.
In this context war is the effect of collective thought not its
origin. If we think thoughts about stopping war we will give
encouragement to war.
Thoughts about prosperity will bring prosperity.
