Television is programing

I know the video is cute, but as I watch it, I just realise how much television really is programing. Not just to young impressionable minds like this child, but to older children, teens and adults. I really do believe that what we see, watch, listen to, all go into creating the world, and society that we inhabit. If that programing is sex, drugs, lack of family values, violence, then that is the kind of society that we will have. It will go into our sub-conscious minds, and program us, about what to think, feel, act in specific situations, etc.

Now this video seems pretty harmless to most, but I know many parents who have young kids who have them in front of the MTV, BET, etc channels, listening to the music videos, watching the music videos, in some cases unattended.

Think about what other shows, themes kids are exposed to on a daily basis? Television really is programing for the masses. I can think of no better example recently that I have come across than this video.

In a generation think about what they could program young minds to think, act, and feel? That's why if we are to free ourselves from our current situations, we must all take a more serious look at the media that we, our friends, families, society is being exposed to, and do what we can to minimize the damage that is being done to our society with the current programing that is in place.

Get off the set, get on the net, or just read a book. What you put in, the world will get out.

Living single and loving it.

This article came out about a month ago, but it's a great article about being single. I think the difference between being single and happy and being single and miserable is all about choice. If you choose to be single, then it's one thing, but if you don't then it can be a living misery. Also if you choose not to be single for the wrong reasons it can also be a huge misery. I think in this as with anything you have to find out what works for you. Also remember that at different stages in your life, what worked yesterday, might not work tomorrow.

[quote]I'm fifty-four years old and I have always been single. I love my single life. But for a long time I rarely said that out loud. I thought I was the only happy single person.[/quote]

NO there seem to be a lot more happily single people in the world. I think it's only the perception that has thrown others off. Being single can be a good thing if that is where you are at.

[quote]Years later after I had read hundreds of scientific studies about marital status, happiness, and discrimination, and after I conducted my own program of research, I realized that much of the conventional wisdom about people who are single was either grossly exaggerated or just plain wrong. The place of singles in society and the significance of getting married have changed dramatically over the past decades. But our views of single and married people have not yet caught up.[/quote]

The perception is if you are single, male or female that you can't be perfectly happy, and the reality is, with modern day society you can be. More so infact than some of your married counter parts. Now I am not knocking marriage or being not single, but I am just pointing out that there are an increasing amount of happy single people out there.

[quote] In one set of studies, for instance, we created profiles of married and single people that were exactly the same (in terms of the person's age, hometown, interests, employment, and so forth) except for their marital status. In one experiment after another, we found that the single people were viewed more negatively than the married people. For example, they were seen as unhappy, lonely, and self-centered compared to their married counterparts. (The one exception is that single people were consistently viewed as more independent than married people.)[/quote]

Again a lot of this goes back to perception and what has always been in the past conventional wisdom, or rather what seemed to be conventional wisdom. In the past for many reasons you needed to be married to keep the household running, to have children, and ofcourse to be seen as anyone in the community.

[quote]We looked up federal statutes and found more than a thousand instances in which official marriage was linked to federal protections and benefits. We found discrimination against singles in the workplace and the marketplace. We then did research of our own on discrimination and found that realtors (and other people we asked) would prefer to rent to married couples than to single women, single men, unmarried couples, or a pair of friends -- even when they all had equally positive references and ability to pay.[/quote]

Again the biggest obstacles that single individual seem to have is society itself and their negative mindset. Once they get past this, many single people do lead very happy and fulfilling lives.

[quote]The story that was taking shape in my mind was becoming clear. Single people are not as happy as married people in part because they are targets of stereotyping and discrimination.[/quote]

This is so true. The article goes on from there and I recommend reading it if you are choosing to be single and loving it. I think in modern day society people have more choices than they did in the past. I think if living single is your choice, then don't let anyone make you think that you would be happy or better off not living single. You can live single and be happy, if it's a choice.

[quote]Increasingly, people who are single are living their lives fully. Those who have the resources to do so are buying homes, traveling the world, and pursuing their passions. Their lives are meaningful -- and yes, they are happy.

Again it all comes down to what works best for you. An interesting article I thought I would share.

Should Gang Stalking be considered a disease?

I have been talking to several people over the last few days. One guy wrote in to tell me that he is treating his Gang Stalking as a chronic illness. I was laughing because in many ways I have been treating this like a cancer that has the ability to become malignant. Some of our fellow Targeted Individuals have died this way. Others have reported for brief periods of time that their Gang Stalking had gone into remission, only to come back again, and many of us deal with the daily symptoms of Gang Stalking, including the electronic harassment which can cause burns, rashes, blisters, etc. Some of us can not work due to our Gang Stalking, be it psychological trauma, or just the system leaving us repeatedly jobless. Many of us have lived below the poverty line due to this ailment, and the inability to get help.

Thinking a bit more about Gang Stalking, I thought I would put together a list of reasons why it should be classified as a disease. Let me know what you think.

Multi-Generational aspect

Gang Stalking like many other diseases can be multigenerational and might run in some families. That's right several targets have reported that this happened to not only them, but to other members of their family. I can say that this aspect is correct from what I have seen. That means if you are afficted this way, they might someday affict your children this way. Also if you are targeted this way and do some research you might find others in your family that are being afficted this way and who are too scared to talk about it. It's a very eye opening aspect of Gang Stalking. Remember this is not as recent as we think. The only reason many of us even realise how widespread it is, is because of the Internet. If we were not all connecting on the Internet, many of us would still be dealing with this quietly, and thinking it was just us. I know I would be, and I also would not have caught on that others close to me might be going through the same thing, even when hearing about their Gaslighting.

Parasitic in nature.

We know that once a target get's Gang Stalking, parasitic elements will infect and seek to destroy every aspect of a targets life. That's right, these parasitic elements will infect the persons job, community, social circle and they will continue to spread until the target is left isolated. Once this happens it leaves the target open for other parasitic infects, or happening such as electronic harassment. The goal of these parasitic elements is to drive the target to suicide. Often these parasitic elements leave the target exhausted, drained, lethargic they literally do everything they can to destroy the target. Sleep disturbance, noise disturbance, predatory mobbing in public, Gaslighting, run of deliberate bad luck, such as the car repeatedly breaking down, etc.

How is Gang Stalking Acquired?

Many targets who acquire Gang stalking do not know where they first picked up the parasitic infection. Many try to trace back to where they think they picked up there Gang Stalking, only to realise that they might have actually picked up the Gang Stalking years earlier without realising it. Eg. I thought I might have picked up Gang Stalking at a job I worked at several years ago, now I realised my Gang Stalking might have been picked up back in my outspoken College days, but I can't be sure. I just know that it goes back at least a decade if not longer.

Why are we now hearing about so many cases of Gang Stalking. Often a person can be Infected by the Gang Stalking Parasites for years before they even become aware that there is a problem. Also there is not a great deal of awareness, so many do not know the symptoms to look out for. Many suffer for years in silence fearing that it's just them, fearing that no one will believe them.

Who can get Afflicted with Gang Stalking?

Gang Stalking can affect anyone in society. We are still seeing a great deal of Gang Stalking ailment amongst single (woman), minorities, activists, dissidents, whistle-blowers, gay/lesbian, outspoken, etc. The parasitic elements seem to like go after the outspoken, non compliant, loner or single individuals. However anyone can get Gang Stalking.

Symptoms

After Gang Stalking is acquired the symptoms might show up right away, but the overt symptoms might not show up for months or even years. Also because many people who acquire Gang Stalking are not aware of the signs and symptoms of this possibly malignant ailment, they might not realise what they have till they get full blown Gang Stalking.

Fatality.

It is estimated by some that the percentage of Gang Stalking fatalities every year world wide is anywhere from 2-7%. However because many afflicted with Gang Stalking do not know it or realise it, till it's too late, the percentages are likely to be much higher. Just like in the former East Germany, a country that saw a similar affliction, the suicide rates were exponentially higher during that period.

Misdiagnosed

Many afflicted with Gang Stalking will also be wrongly misdiagnosed as mentally ill and falsely institutionalized.

Violent reactions.

Due to years of suffering in silence with Gang Stalking, some sufferers will lash out violently, after continually being provoked the Gang Stalking Parasites. The same is true for false imprisonments.

Job loss and moving.

Due to the nature of the Gang Stalking infection. Many afflicted will find themselves unable to work, be it due to psychological trauma, or just job loss after job loss. Those afflicted often wish to work, but are often not able to find or keep jobs.

The same is true for having to move from community to community.

Shunning.

Those afflicted with Gang Stalking through no fault of their own will still often find that they are shunned by their friends, family, neighbours, co-workers. There is often no help for those afflicted and very little awareness.

Homelessness

Many afflicted with Gang Stalking, at some point find themselves living below the poverty line, or even becoming homeless. The Gang Stalking ailment takes a lot from former fully functioning individuals.

Symptoms

Many do not realise the symptoms they have, and will suffer for years. Many complain for year about being followed around in public by strangers, harassment by strangers, extreme run of bad luck, or unexplained incidents, others complain of continued workplace mobbing, even after changing jobs. Other of being sensitised to everyday stimuli's such as pens clicking, loud coughing, keys jingling, loud noises, colors, patterns, etc. Other symptoms include PTSD, depression, paranoia, stress, lethargy. Electronic symptoms include, burns, rashes, itching, blisters, eye damages, etc.

Is there hope or a cure?

At this stage there is no cure in sight, but there is hope. We have found that after years of dealing with Gang Stalking the best hope is exposure and awareness. If we can reach those afflicted in the early stage of this possibly lethal aliment, we might have fewer fatalities, false institutionalization's,

Has this Ailment ever shown up before?

During the East German Stasi, and American Cointelpro many suffered from a similar ailment with equal lethality.

At this stage many afflicted with Gang Stalking find that it is a life long illness, which has the potential to be fatal. The best treatment that those afflicted with Gang Stalking have currently is exposure and awareness. Many in society are afraid of getting the Gang Stalking ailment, and many others in society are parts of the parasitic elements that are helping to cause the Gang Stalking infection.

Many who suspect that they have Gang Stalking, are afraid to speak up or speak out. They are afraid of being mislabeled, as mentally ill, or paranoid, or worst.

Many others simply do not realise that they have picked up this possibly lethal ailment, and we need to reach these individuals and give them a fighting chance.

Gang Stalking is a disease, which can be fatal for some, life changing for others, but with awareness and exposure, we are trying to make it more managable for others, who are just becoming aware of this ailment.
