Hypodermic needle model

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The hypodermic needle model (known as the hypodermic-syringe model, transmission-belt model, or magic bullet theory) is a model of communication suggesting that an intended message is directly received and wholly accepted by the receiver. The model was originally rooted in 1930s behaviourism and largely considered obsolete for a long time, but big data analytics-based mass customisation has led to a modern revival of the basic idea.

The “Magic Bullet” or “Hypodermic Needle Theory” of direct influence effects was based on early observations of the effect of mass media, as used by Nazi propaganda and the effects of Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940s.[1] People were assumed to be “uniformly controlled by their biologically based ‘instincts’ and that they react more or less uniformly to whatever ‘stimuli’ came along”.[2] The “Magic Bullet” theory graphically assumes that the media’s message is a bullet fired from the “media gun” into the viewer’s “head”.[3] Similarly, the “Hypodermic Needle Model” uses the same idea of the “shooting” paradigm. It suggests that the media injects its messages straight into the passive audience.[4] This passive audience is immediately affected by these messages. The public essentially cannot escape from the media’s influence, and is therefore considered a “sitting duck”.[4] Both models suggest that the public is vulnerable to the messages shot at them because of the limited communication tools and the studies of the media’s effects on the masses at the time.[5] It means the media explores information in such a way that it injects in the mind of audiences as bullets.

Based on mass public acceptance of our technicolor dream psyop hypodermic needle reality, I would say this theory is as true today as ever. The basis of mass psyop slobbering acceptance of the needle is fundamentally the fear of being isolated, rejected, scorned, estranged, alone and lonely. None of those states is nearly as bad as most believe. Robust, independent thinkers even find them stimulating. A mind rejected and left alone can be a very beautiful mind. The media-portrayed lone-wolf psychopath has some truth to it but is overemphasized by psyop controllers because it repels most people, making them more likely to accept the madness needle. The needle theory of communication is nothing more than the simplest semiotic send-and-receive message paradigm—the message sent is taken in fully with zero receiver interpretation. Extremely basic and primitive. Square one on the checkerboard. And this is why it is so effective still today. ABN

White ‘supremacy’ — Texas 1939

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Harlingen, Texas., Russell Lee photographer

Everyone in the world has a background like this at some time in the past, and for most of us that is the recent past or present. There is no shame in surviving on the basics and often much joy. The attitude that all poverty is horrible and must be deplored or corrected is not a healthy attitude from a Buddhist point of view. Buddhism counsels that we have compassion for those who are sick, hurt or disabled and that we help them if practicable. But poverty alone is not a reason to help an able-bodied person aside from hiring or training if good will come of it. The systemic racism stuff is all bullshit. Most whites were serfs, servants or deplored underlings until very recent times. An exception to not helping the poor is if you did something to make them poor like causing brain damage or fraud.

The Case for Enclave-Based Immigration Over Nationalism

Rethinking Immigration in the Context of Post-Americanism

Counting all US in-migration annually, half a million migrants are admitted via the CBP app, a new parole program will admit another half a million Venezuelans, another new program will allow 200k immigrants to fly directly to American cities to claim asylum, existing legal immigration is about 1 million, and there are about 2 million illegal border crossings. That adds up to over 4 million migrants annually, breaking all past records for border crossings and immigration. It would not be farfetched for 8 million migrants to arrive in 2024. The migrant crisis will only accelerate due to economic crisis and food shortages in the Global South, and the impacts of chain migration. Basically a trial run for open borders, considering that the numbers who want to immigrate globally are about 900 million. The date when Whites become a minority in America could easily move up from 2045 to 2035.

…What I am advocating for is basically national multiculturalism but with local homogeneity, re-establishing the “us-ness” at a local level. If multiculturalism is inevitable then trying to hold together a diverse society with a mass mono-culture and centralized institutions is insane. The current situation is the worst of both worlds, since we basically have a policy of multiculturalism for non-Whites but compulsory universalism for White Americans, who are expected to hold the empire together, rather than pursue their own interests. White Americans are in a state of limbo, where the old America is dead, yet the idea of acting as a diaspora is alien. I want to be optimistic, but a plausible scenario is where there is continued mass demographic change, a top-down centralized managerial power structure, widespread anti-White discrimination and political persecution, White economic downward mobility, scapegoating of Whites for income inequality, yet where Whites remain hyper-individualistic, being at a tremendous disadvantage and politically disenfranchised. While there is little hope in reforming the system towards radical decentralization, one White Pill is that the shock from rapid demographic change and economic collapse will force Whites to become tribal and rebuild social capital to survive. A more cutthroat society will make enclaves, tribes, and patronage networks a necessity.

This is a thoughtful essay, well-worth reading in full.

Recently, I have made comments about ‘digital babies’ ending all tribalism, ethnicity, and lineage pride due to their parents ‘soon’ being able to choose major genetic traits, including intelligence. ‘Digital babies’ will massively affect how America develops, even given uncontrollable immigration and multiculturalism.

The term digital babies is meant to be a shorthand marker for the rapidly advancing technologies of gene selection through in vitro selection processes leading eventually to selection through digital processes.

True digital gene insertion may be over one hundred years away (maybe not so long), but selection through manipulation of gametes and zygotes in a laboratory is already possible today and probably being done somewhere in the world right now. This process involves using stem cells from parents to make many gametes. Then selecting the best of those gametes and using them to make many zygotes. Then selecting the best of those zygotes and using stem cells taken from them to make more gametes. If this process is repeated scores or even hundreds of times, the resulting offspring will be extremely intelligent, healthy, and long-lived. Through other processes, they will also carry zero mutational burden. For a time, these offspring may become even more tribal but as soon as gene-insertion or even gene-creation becomes possible, parents will surely choose whatever is best for their offspring, thus completely blurring the lines between races, tribes and lineages.

As we imagine the future, we must also image the effects of digital babies and also AI, or super-AI, a field that is also moving quickly, and with massive implications for the science of digital babies and how they will evolve. ABN

Donald Trump Is Suing Christopher Steele

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

News breaking from The Daily Mail reflects that President Donald Trump has filed a civil action against Orbis Business Intelligence and its founder, Christopher Steele. You will likely remember that Chris Steele wrote the infamous “Steele Dossier” that became the underpinning of the Carter Page FISA application, replacing the legally required Woods file.

Interestingly, Trump appears to be using the British court system, and laws around libel actions that are much more beneficial to the plaintiff in the U.K. There is an initial 2-day court hearing scheduled for October 16th.

(Via Daily Mail) Donald Trump is suing a former MI6 officer and the intelligence consultancy he founded, High Court records show.

The former US president is bringing a data protection claim against Orbis Business Intelligence and its founder Christopher Steele, who previously ran the Secret Intelligence Service’s Russia desk.

According to a court order published on Thursday, a two-day hearing in Mr Trump’s legal action is set to start on October 16, which is thought to be the first hearing in the claim. (more)

The layers of possibility within this lawsuit are actually much more remarkable than first review might consider.

Remember, as discovered during the Durham probe, GCHQ refused to assist the CIA and FBI in their construct of the fabricated theory about Trump-Russia.  Additionally, Steele has attempted to distance himself from the ‘dossier’ he created, implying his role was simply to affirm or verify information fed to him from Fusion GPS via Glenn Simpson and Nellie Ohr.

Plausibly, Steele could claim he simply provided information, material that was false, to Fusion GPS, not knowing what would come of it.  However, in order to take that position, he would need to swear and attest to that set of facts.  That opens questions about conversations between Steele and Glenn Simpson/Nellie Ohr about his material representations – as well as conversations between Steele and the DOJ/FBI about the same.   Names and specifics would have to be outlined in order to escape the libel.

Deposing Chris Steele would be a goldmine of information about how the construct of the narrative was put together.  Who was involved from within the U.S. government and Fusion GPS would be the obvious aspect.  Steele was represented by Adam Waldman, who was also used as an intermediary between Steele and other investigative authorities in the USA.  Waldman and former SSCI Vice Chair staffer, Dan Jones, were working together. Piercing those conversations is yet another layer to peel.

In short, in order for Chris Steele to use the defense against libel, he would have to outline who he was delivering information to, and what was the purpose of the delivery. Steele would also need to walk through each of the points made in his email construction and show origination, supportive material, efforts taken to prove or disprove and subsequent findings.  [Think of the Michael Cohen in Prague false claim as only one small example]

There’s a reason why Andrew Weissmann and Robert Mueller never went near Chris Steele during their construct of the Mueller report.  They well understood that Lawfare required plausible deniability.  This, despite the fact that on June 29, 2017, Mueller and Weissmann used the dossier for the final FISA renewal – a point missed by all except for the deepest weed walkers.

POINT missed by EVERYONE:  How could Mueller/Weissmann use the Steele dossier for a FISA renewal, and then say Chris Steele was, “outside their purview“?

I think there would be a lot of pro-bono research aides who would love to work on this lawsuit.  Just sayin’…

Energy Hungry World Drives Obvious Demand for Cheap, Reliable Coal-Fired Power

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Germany and Australia share delusional obsessions with wind and solar power; but they also share a desperate demand for reliable coal-fired power. Hidden from sight, both Germany and Australia have recognised (albeit a little too late) that the only way of delivering 24 x 365 power, whatever the weather at prices everyone can afford is by using coal-fired power plants.

As to Germany, Bridget Ryder take a look at moves by Germany’s RWE to demolish wind turbines to allow it to access more of Germany’s brown coal. That move doesn’t sit with the narrative about Germany transitioning to an all wind and sun powered future.

Nor does the next story from The Australian. Where reality is pressing upon those who claim that Australia is already well on its way to running on nothing but sunshine and breezes.
