Nobody debated the reality of gods to whom they sacrificed first born male children.
Nothing much changed in life, the seasons followed the path predicted by the priests who performed the calculations, the rituals and sacrifices, as decreed by authorities or demanded by gods.
The collective social environment, daily life, interacted causally with metaphysical reality,
Sumer lived by the code of Hammurabi, citizens paid taxes, made bloody sacrifices and prospered between calamities if fortunate enough to possess “me”.
A me is a competence conferred by a god. The me are social capacities, instruction sets, programs foundational to civilization.
A me is the knowledge necessary to construct a musical instrument and the ability to play it. A me might also be a means of Holy purification, skill in Metalworking or Scribeship. Over a hundred me are mentioned in later Sumerian mythology, though only 60 remain to us today; they are listed here.

Aggregated me form a culture genome, each individual me a cultural competency necessary to the survival of the civilization. The me have a peculiar form of delivery: a Nam Shub; a verbal or written incantation, the Nam Shub of Enki, a Sumerian god, is “both a story of linguistic disintegration and the cause of that disintegration.”
“Once upon a time, there was no snake, there was no scorpion,
There was no hyena, there was no lion,
There was no wild dog, no wolf,
There was no fear, no terror,
Man had no rival.
In those days, the land Shubur-Hamazi,
Harmony-tongued Sumer, the great land of the me of princeship,
Uri, the land having all that is appropriate,
The land Martu, resting in security,
The whole universe, the people well cared for,
To Enlil in one tongue gave speech.
Then the lord defiant, the prince defiant, the king defiant,
Enki, the lord of abundance, whose commands are trustworthy,
The lord of wisdom, who scans the land,
The leader of the gods,
The lord of Eridu, endowed with wisdom,
Changed the speech in their mouths, put contention into it,
Into the speech of man that had been one. “
A Nam Shub is a text which specific properties; is self-reflexive, it’s about itself, and which can’t merely be read or listened to, it must also be obeyed, as in the song the Sirens sung:
Sweet coupled airs we sing.
No lonely seafarer
Holds clear of entering
Our green mirror.
(Homer, The Odyssey, Book 12, 173-176)
The me share similarities with the antigens in our immune system which warn of and describe enemy viruses, ordering the construction of antibody weapons to destroy them.
Even complex, procedural logic-driven human decision-making has an intuitive component, which anyone involved with the advertising, market research or media content production knows. For this reason, tactics and technologies which reliably influence the unconscious component of mind are highly developed. National, regional and local media are freighted with sounds, symbols and images, unperceived messages targeting consumers' unconscious, to be retained and held in memory to influence future decision-making.
Professor Wilson Bryan Key put it, “In spite of the evidence presented in this book, most Americans will still find it difficult to believe that their trusted, high-credibility information sources long ago betrayed them into the hands of profit hungry marketing executives who have quietly researched, developed and exhaustively applied a subliminal technology of communication that is now driving every larger segments of the population to pathological behaviors. “

Subliminal and subsonic influence tactics are seldom discussed in MSM media, not because the tactics are ineffective and rarely used, but because they are so effective that the advertising-supported media superorganism considers them critical to the function of the industry. Subliminal advertising is illegal, though the laws against it are both feeble and likely unenforceable, having been openly transgressed for the entire term of their existence; and, since the business model of advertising supported media depends on their nullity.
The manipulation of individuals, identity groups and national populations after world war 2 was held critical to “national security;” subliminals are key to that manipulation. Advertising and media content targeting viewer’s unconscious mind has been augmented by techniques like hypnotic induction, subsonic “whisper” acoustics and images which stimulate aggression, sexual arousal or instinctual response. As previously noted, the power of these exploits, their depth of penetration and range of their reach has been greatly enhanced by the advent of networked media technologies.
The presumed independence and competitive operation of entertainment and communications industry is illusory. The media may be considered as a single functionally integrated parasitic organism which includes the advertising industry. “Simply expressed, what is consciously perceived by individuals, groups or nations has little or nothing to do with the physical, biological, economic and social realities the perceptions represent. “
Advertising supported media viewers are not citizens whom broadcasters compete to inform but consumer victims to be coerced and manipulated until pacified and enslaved.
Advertising supported MSM legacy media is not a passive partner in subversion - they are the "experts" in social control, supposed Masters of Social Programming, planners of and profit participants in, the exploitation and slaughter of the public; and today they’re principal architects of an psychological warfare campaign intended to destroy America.
Subversion is nothing new advertising supported media has been for sale since advertising supported media came into being. Karl Kraus the Viennese satirist, documented the media’s role in fomenting the incompetent and disastrous charade of WW I. One of Kraus’s recent translators, Michael Russell, summarizes, “Kraus saw a powerful influential press in Vienna becoming ever more mendacious, manipulative, corrupt and self-serving, forming ever stronger ties with the aristocratic, industrial, financial and above all political elites of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and later, after the war, with the struggling democracy of a new Austria.”
the first world war was started for profit and that the advertising supported media complex - newspapers and magazines in that day - were not passive agents reporting this, but active partners in fomenting and initiating the war and provoking public fear, hatred and palpably fraudulent patriotism to support it.
The media participated directly in the profits reaped by their advertisers; bankers, arms makers, suppliers of goods and services.
Advertising supported media organizations prospered so greatly from the first, mass mechanized, slaughter of civilian populations in the history of warfare, that they’ve been at it ever since.
Six companies today exert near total control over the entirety of human mass communication. As they danced, they sang: "Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands."

Advertising and media content targeting viewer’s unconscious mind has been augmented by techniques like mass hypnotic induction, subsonic “whisper” acoustics and hidden and overt images which stimulate aggression, sexual arousal or instinctual response.

The use of an array of tactics to baffle the perception in conflict is not new, nor is the strategy confined to the human species. Predators who exploit the perceptual deficiencies of prey are common in nature. As human hunters wear camouflage spread scents and simulate game calls to imitate prey animals, Paussid beetles forge chemical signals, blinding ant species they prey on to their presence among them in the nest.
A famous human organization employed similar tactics. Hasan ibn Sabah’s Assassins. Sabah reputedly learned the art and science of mind control from priests of the mysteries in Egypt, but whatever the source, Sabah’s Assassins used hypnotic induction, symbolism, stage magic and drugs create a belief system which delivered 100 % loyalty from adherents, and instant complete compliance with leader’s instructions even “suicide missions.”
Nation states have great difficulty securing large numbers of people willing to die on command. Hasan al Sabah’s Assassins prospered for 300 years, spreading their agents throughout the middle east because they knew how to create thousands of fanatically loyal followers.
When, after 300 years, the Assassin’s luck ran out and their fortress at Alamut (in what is now Iran) was overrun, the Assassin’s leadership captured and executed by the Mongols. What happened to the thousands of faithful assassins scattered throughout the middle east?
The assassins did what companies do after a scandal or serious defeat, they changed the name of the organization and continued to practice extortion and blackmail of nation states which had prospered them for three hundred years.
Just as the Arthur Anderson consulting firm changed itself to Accenture after being implicated in the Enron fraud, the Assassins reconstituted themselves under new leadership and rebranded, terrorized and blackmailed under a new name – the Ismailis.
The Assassins / Ismailis are known to have shared their tactics and technology with other groups such as the Knights Templar with whom they were allied and who shared their antinomian beliefs.
Groups today employing the Assassin’s mind control tactics command close to 100% loyalty and instant compliance with leaders’ instructions. Many groups and organizations, religious sects, cults and intelligence agencies have acquired the assassin’s MK technology and have worked diligently to improve it.
