A Commentary on Distraction:
Modern Media,
Television and Thought Control

Now watch the spiraling disk ..... concentrate on a spot in the middle of my forehead......close you eyes and listen only to my voice ...... etc., etc. And what are the spiraling wheels, the points of light, the hypnotic sounds? Why whatever you accept them to be. That on which you specifically, willingly, and intently center your attention, where you hypnotically and submissively focus your concentration. What ever program you are watching hour after hour, day after day, months after month that totally distracts you from any but a fleeting, incidental, cursory awareness of what is the actuality of not merely the world, but your country, even your state and town. Certainly of your rights, your natural prerogatives. This is the reason only half of the American population bothers to vote even in national election, while in some other countries it is a high as eighty, occasionally even ninety, percent. Why few high school graduates can name seven or eight past presidents. We are mesmerised into watching game shows, soap operas, the Knicks, near naked women exercising, hopping about, or doing nothing, or chef Emerald tossing a salad.
 For example, today, Sunday, reviewing the seventy-five channels we can receive: fifteen were on sports, six were on food, six were on sex (preoccupation of, not by, of course, the female form which was once centered on the bosom, later on the buttocks, and now on the crotch), six were devoted to religion; three movies, a completely propagandistic and astonishingly inaccurate trash on the JFK murder on the "History" channel, etc. Two channels had information broadcasts, one on Austria and its buildings, landscape and cities, another on the making of an independent film. The remainder were advertising programs. Not one (at that time: 1:00 PM) on news, politics, or legitimate history. Why? Because the point was a concentrated distraction, a complete misdirection, by The Office of Truth and Information that monitors all that is broadcast, and most of what is printed.
Did you know that what was once thousands of newspapers in the United States are presently gather together under five or six master corpor-ations. Ditto magazines. Check how many actual publishers of books there are, now, compared to the hundred once prospering despite their (illusion-ary) differentiated "imprints." Random House national and internationally has about forty-five; Simon & Schuster twenty-five, HarperCollins almost sixty-five, Doubleday, ten. And of what over-conglomerate are they all an elements. It has no name but its interests are international and it supercedes governments. Control what the public sees and reads and one controls what it thinks; control what it thinks and one controls the nation; control governments and one dominates large portions of the world.
We do not fear Big Brother, because he wears the face of our favorite politician, or television or film personality! These things sometimes get discovered, but, usually about seventy-five years too late.
Remember, now whatever, tomorrow the world!
