To Kill a Mockingbird Media

The death of the 'conspiracy theory' spell.

Sixty years ago when JFK was killed in a false-flag assassination, Americans and the larger world were provided horrifying images and a script, or narrative, of what happened. Almost immediately the script came under suspicion and question.

In an attempt to undermine the skeptics to the larger public - as we all know by now - the CIA weaponized the term conspiracy theorist to brand them, which when repeated and amplified via the mockingbird media, proved highly effective. A word-spell was born.

We all absorbed the message that being a ‘conspiracy theorist’ was not a good thing and the added inference that even listening to one made you suspect by association.

Word spells can be simple and powerful.

Here’s Cronkite telling Americans about the fate of their president.

At the time I doubt anyone would have suspected Walter Cronkite of being a CIA asset - part of Operation Mockingbird.

It was easier to manage perception back then.

There were many false flags before Kennedy’s assassination of course. The term goes back to the 16th century (in our current - as in fluid - understanding of history) and the use of literal false flags on ships, by pirates, to mask allegiance and identity, so as to lure in other ships to plunder.

So quaint, really.

Today’s pirates don’t come in identifiable costume. We know too well their ability to deceive, pillage and kill extends far beyond a single ship to the whole of the planet.

Word-spells like conspiracy theory have been proven tough to dispel. Like trees they root into our subconscious in one direction, while simultaneously branching out in the other; they grow associative concepts and new theories, produce studies and bare fruit in the forms of articles and books and of course experts who are happy to expand on the subject.

A large team of researches spanning three universities undertook the large task of delving into conspiracy theorists. They looked at 170 studies involving 158,000 participants and did a a meta-analysis of the data. Let’s tale a quick at what they concluded:

Three tendencies were strongly correlated with conspiracy ideation, which is the inclination to endorse conspiracy theories. They were: perceiving threat and danger; relying on intuition and having odd beliefs and experiences; and being antagonistic and feeling superior. You can think of each as a pillar that supports conspiracy ideation and/or is nurtured by it, and each pillar can be looked at in more detail.

Thank you experts for interpreting the data for us! How’d they do?

Perceiving threats and dangers -I’d have to agree here. This ‘tendency’ came in super handy when avoiding the jab. Also, to be fair to their conclusions, recognizing that someone is out to harm you can definitely elicit some antagonism. I’d say the study was right on both those counts.

Relying on intuition and odd beliefs and experiences - hmm, I wonder if here they mean the odd belief/experience of being a human being who both thinks for themselves and listens to their gut? If yes, then they would be correct on this point too.

And finally, would these abilities (to perceive danger and intuit) feel superior to, say, listening to a Fraudci or CNN expert? Well, yes, it clearly would. (Especially if you’re wanting to avoid a giant dose of poison.) Right on this point as well.

Three universities, 170 studies, 158 thousand participants and these were their conclusions. If they were seeking to land a blow on the alarming and growing number of conspiracy-seekers - which they were - they obviously failed.

Good sign.

It would appear that - also like trees - word-spells have a life span and conspiracy theory is near its end.

Which seems only appropriate - as we acknowledge the six-decade anniversary of the CIA’s killing of John F Kennedy - that we should also acknowledge the impending death of the word-spell - conspiracy theory - that was born as a result of that murder.

I see signs of its demise everywhere. We used to hear the common refrain - “I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but…” - all the time. Daily. It was the standard qualifier (and yes, still uttered) in order to being taken seriously; to be allowed into the conservation.

Not so much anymore. Have you noticed that?

There is a growing understanding that information only recently deemed conspiracy is now accepted as legit.

Among a growing subset - there’s even a noticeable willingness to own the label and don it like a badge of honor.

Why shouldn’t they? Conspiracy track-records have had a good few years. Why not take credit for being on the right side? (J6 being just the latest example.)

Conspiracy theory reaching the end of its effective lifespan as mechanism of control is a turning point and worth noticing.

In its transitioning iteration it’s losing association with “dangerous misinformation” and picking up momentum in the direction of, “Hey! look here for the answers.”

Many are looking - far more than would openly admit it.

And while there is a digital army of chaos agents deployed to greet, confuse and corral the searchers back into the prison, let’s not miss the significance of breaching this barrier to capturing new minds.

While there’s never been an acknowledgment of the CIA’s role in JFK”s murder, debunking the official version has been going on for decades, and now includes a Kennedy himself - a presidential candidate no less - discussing it publicly. No. Small. Thing.

When reviewing videos of conspiracies proven to be true - I was frustrated to note we’re better at identifying them when safely placed in the rearview mirror. One I looked at from December of 2022, (below) doesn’t mention Covid, as instance, or even 9/11.

It does cover a range of well known conspiracies though - in a watered-down fashion. Still, it had a lot of views.

Even when acknowledged that we’re regularly lied to, experimented on, harmed and killed, we don’t often know how to apply these lessons to our current situation. It’s easier to act as if the bad guys have left the scene, the crime tucked neatly into history, and assure ourselves the new guys would never do such a thing.

In my assessment, the peak of conspiracy theory as a control spell occurred with the marketing campaign around the jab (and quickly weakening since then.) We saw a level of mind-capture that should only be experienced vicariously in dystopian novels.

We witnessed a collective societal breakdown that manifested in an unapologetic deep antipathy for non-compliers. At best we were called unscientific conspiracy theorists though this moniker quickly merged with ‘dangerous’ and ‘disinformation’. We were linked to Trump supporters - who we were told were largely racists and potential terrorists. In fact if there was a negative association one could stretch to add to the growing list piled on top of non-vaxxers, it was added.

Fun times.

It was not uncommon to hear references about locking us up, or boxing us out of basic social doings - even grocery shopping. Punishing our bad behavior was discussed like it was a reasonable thing.

This meanness lived side-by-side with a childlike submission - a sort of good-boy-good girl eagerness to please. Supposed adults lapped up congratulations and praise for agreeing to be lab rats to historically untrustworthy entities (government and Big Pharma) who they now saw as parental-like figures, taking care of them. Virtue signaling one’s compliance became a right of passage as true believers of The Science™️ competed for attention over acts of obedience.

Ugly. A spectacle beyond all spectacles. (Well, let’s hope.)

Honestly, I don’t like reiterating it and do so only to make the point of what we lived through. We now KNOW what can happen.

The experience changed us.

It was painful and I wouldn’t want to do it again, but we never would have seen the level of global coordination, the ramping up of Agenda 2030 or the degree to which many of us are susceptible to the worst kind of mind-control.

We can’t unsee it.

And yet, now closing in on 2023, there is a part of me that can say: Okay, it happened. Good. (An impossibility a year ago.) Yes, it was terrible, it was upsetting, it was frightening - all that - yet, also, necessary and so, good.

I’m okay. In real ways better than ever. Seriously stronger for having been forged through an initiation of hell-fire propaganda and the (temporary?) zombies it unleashed.

The Powers That Were, (TPTW) tried their best, did their worst, and I survived it. You survived it.

Congratulations to us.

I was thinking about what it is that survives in us - even thrives in us - when core illusions are shed; when the blinders that kept the world comfortable, come off.

Whatever that is - we can all decide for ourselves - it’s seriously impressive.

I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge that. I’m thankful for that, and for all of you that I’ve met along the way, who shared the dismay and shock and grew stronger from it.

We non-compliers - answered not to the world - banging loudly at our doors - but to our own selves. We made the choice to trust that, and all the gaslighting, mandates and threats we endured, didn’t sever that connection. (This must be the odd experience bit the study noted.)

Damn impressive. And truly, something to be grateful for.

I predict that soon - those who were previously labeled conspiracy theorists, negatively, will be seen as ahead-of-the-curve thinkers who could connect-dots and get past childish notions of parental-like authority structures.

The new world emerging is being formed in no small part by them - by us.

Conspiracy theory doesn’t hold the power it did only a few years ago. As it morphs into its new place in our shared vernacular, it will inevitably echo mockingly to the perpetrators behind it - the mockingbird media itself.

Which is perfect - because the best way to kill a mockingbird media is by mocking it.

I’m grateful to all my subscribers and wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Thanks for reading.
