psycho neo zonal behaviourism

"Content providers"

In Network, the man spouting the anger is Beale (Peter Finch, who died before he could accept the Oscar), who learns that he's being let go from his longtime network perch because of declining ratings.
Beale does not go gentle into that good severance package. Instead, the despairing anchor announces that he plans to commit suicide on live TV. But Beale sticks around, and his broadcasts descend into rambling, fiery sermons about the "pointless pain, humiliation and decay" of modern life, and"well, you can guess what happens next. Ratings spike.
Viewers are riveted. The suits keep him on air. Finch's performance is one of those iconic marvels of modern cinema that the '70s seemed to pop out like chicken eggs, but Network is also abetted by a dazzling ensemble cast, including turns from William Holden and Faye Dunaway (who landed an Oscar for her role as a conniving and obsessive programmer).

Who is Howard Beale?

my analysis - While spontaneous at first his character, is stage managed. It becomes apparent with another defining scene in the boardroom - that his persona/schiziod lapse/moment of clarity - which - and that is the mastery of the narrative of the first half of the movie never lets you know which it is...you are left to decide on your own.... is he being used by the elite as a way to distract and control?

hmm sound familiar? The Pivotal scene takes part in the boardroom of the Network

What happens when content you make becomes so reliant upon your investment in a scheme - that it has to compete alongside others - grabbing the users attention with fear based straplines, crazier & crazier theories that utilise ever more WWF style tactics to hook in subscriptions, and continued loyalty to the product. More & more Howard Beales appear on the scene.

It has to be remembered that the rising platform for many rising alt news stars, Rokfin, who I take a look at here, alongside FloSports, has a pedigree presenting the Sport of Wrestling. and while it isn't WWE style...more proper wrestling, ask yourself, just who is in the Arena now?

Does this sound like free open media?

It would be wise to remember what happened with the UK Tabloid Newspapars in 1989 after the Hillsborough Disaster - which saw 96 people die after a wall collapsed at a football stadium. The Fleet St Papers were in a battle for popularity driving them to use ever more disgusting tactics in the investigations & reporting.

This type of media escalation in Ethical redundancy reached a pinnacle with a phone tapping scandal which saw Piers Morgan rightly blamed for tapping the phones of Milly Dowler, a 13 year old murder victim.

It must also be noted that elements of the Judiciary/Police/Intelligence community were involved.

The movie 'Network' is a de facto warning of corporatism or more accurately Americanised corpocracy and the masterful Sidney Lumet nails it.

So many people get to see the golden shotgun - the shakedown. The moment that the late, great comedian, Bill Hicks describes as the Kennedy moment for newly elected Presidents

In his own words - Bill hicks

I have this feeling man, 'cause you know, it's just a handful of people who run everything, you know ... that's true, it's provable.
It's not ... I'm not a fucking conspiracy nut, it's provable.
A handful, a very small elite, run and own these corporations, which include the mainstream media.
I have this feeling that whoever is elected president, like Clinton was, no matter what you promise on the campaign trail -- blah, blah, blah -- when you win, you go into this smoke-filled room with the twelve industrialist capitalist scum-fucks who got you in there.
And you're in this smoky room, and this little film screen comes down ... and a big guy with a cigar goes,
"Roll the film."
And it's a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you've never seen before ... that looks suspiciously like it's from the grassy knoll.
And then the screen goes up and the lights come up, and they go to the new president,
"Any questions?"
"Er, just what my agenda is."
"First we bomb Baghdad."
"You got it ..."

They are people guilt tripped and told if they don't behave they will lose everything.

Society is built on this mechanism - Obey the Law or be punished.

It filters down to - Obey the corporate mandate or lose your job, your friends & your family.

In Extreme cases which involve powerful people - They are Punished by ex-communication like those Hollywood directors who had to flee to Europe from the Joseph Macarthy anti-red witchtrials - They face jail because of Sexual compromise - drug use, or as the last bastion of the control...mental health - its a prison of a soul desert.
Compromised.

Just take a wild guess at who, until recently, the now very famous dead person was, who bribed and coerced many very influencial people...on behalf of an intelligence agency...that rhymes with 'kossad'...

Play a part or be real in their simulation...its all the same - break out and be you...or at least spend the rest of your life trying to work out what the fuck that is.

I would not be in the slightest bit suprised to find out that the entire enterprise of the internet is straight out of a back room meeting in Virginia after an initial speakeasy with representatives in an undisclosed broom cupboard, where no nibbles or soft drinks were offered...

Tim Berners Lee, the inventor of HTML was likely, taken to the top of The Twin Towers & given the Hicks Kennedy treatment.

This is how these things happen.

The "Industrial Content Provider Web media complex" is perfect for controlling the way you think, because when you are in agreement, and herded into a plastic managable groupthink, you are prone to manipulation. Beware the Echochamber.

Easy peasy lemon difficult.

Hey! whats OUT there?

Need to take a closer look..

what do you think Roger?

Listen to THIS!!!

and thats how it all works!

THE CONSPIRACY ALTERNATIVE INDUSTRIAL ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX
THE SET UP
WWE STYLE ALT PERSONALITIES ARE BEING SET UP AS
CYBER BATTLES WHY?
TO DRIVE UP THE
HITS / PLAYS PAYMENTS / CRYPTO
i find it "entertaining"
where and how
some people choose
to make a living.

sell their "awares"
INNER CONTEXT
the worlds philanthropists
Gates / Soros / Bloomberg
being the usual targets;
are entrepreneurs, posing as activists
see any difference to the big names in the "truther movement"
as money making fear porn / headlines
on a payroll to intelligence agency infiltration coersion & steering that seeks the HIDING of INFORMATION BEHIND PAYWALLS... or hanging out certain information while shading more revealing angles
This bread and circuses act is detrimental to anyone wanting to become an activist, rather than an entreprenuer.
This is to me, undermining the principle of the nascient wish to better ourselves as people sharing their innate expression as visceral experience via poetry / art & writing as our truths.
It is important to note; that once outed, uncovered & realised...
these clowns can be useful. Sometimes what people aren't saying is just as important as what they are pushing.

I see it as a shadenfraud of morose opportunism...
i'll just accidentally leave these here...woops

Who is the ultimate paymaster general?

THIS IS NOT A GAME.
Why mask The "earning potential" of entrepreneurialism as Activism?
This is a Polemic thats aeons old.
With the rise of the corporate death of the conscience of big media,
is professional Journalism cutting it as investigative activism?
I think it must be
Because many Brave people, like Daniel Morgan, ARE BEING KILLED for what they are investigating
In the case of Daniel Morgan...I suspect it may well be the very situation of corruption in the UK media / Judiciary / Police intelligence that I cite above...

Remember those cages The U.S Democratic Party set up,
a few years ago now,
at their national convention?
People protesting stuffed into an area deemed ok to voice opinion / show opposition...
So..
Would you charge someone money, as you stand on a soap box, in that cage, as expound about how being put in that cage is wrong?
wouldn't be right would it?
but..
Maybe you would if you didn't realise that the cage was there.
That the bars on the Black Iron prison, are in fact elusive to senses blinded by well meaning conviction.
Now talk to me about Geo-Fencing...
