Subliminal and subsonic influence tactics are seldom discussed in legacy 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 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 legacy media is not a passive partner in subversion - they are the "experts" in social control, supposed Master 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.”
Kraus recognized (as did many at that time) the media was an apocalyptic threat, creating a false reality, one which it was impossible to reject publicly without being considered a fool or a mad man. Since Kraus’s day the advertising-media superorganism has developed technologically and consolidated economically until six five companies today enjoy near total control over all human communication. 99% everything we learn about the world comes to us today through a screen. This has created an extended perceptual loop, information we receive about the world via a screen is treated the same way that information about the world which we receive via our senses - it is trusted.
Kraus knew, again, as many people did then, that 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 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."
