Topic: Conspiracies show on Tech TV!!

I just saw the last fifteen minutes of a show called Conspiracies which was on the cable channel "TechTV".  The show was pretty standard for people who follow conspiracy theory but far beyond anything that I had previously seen on TV or cable.  There were some clips of an interview with David Icke and in one of them he desribes his "Problem-Reaction-Solution" model. 

I looked into ownership and the Tech TV site says that Tech TV is owned by Vulcan, which is an investment and management project founded by Paul Allen (one of the founders of Microsoft).

This is the link to the internet site which describes the show:

Below is the summary article from this same website:
      
The New World Order
   
Do secret societies really run the world? Watch 'Conspiracies' and find out.
Watch today at 9 p.m. and tomorrow at 7 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. Eastern.
By Lynn Weiss
   
On the first episode of Conspiracies we blow the lid off the shadowy organizations that control the world.

An elite group of the world's most influential international bankers, religious leaders, political leaders, and businessmen pull the strings of puppet governments around the world from behind the scenes. Their goal? To rule the Earth with an iron fist.

What are the names of these mysterious, all-powerful organizations? According to the theorists you'll meet on the show, they're the Illuminati, the Bilderberg Group, the Freemasons, the Trilateral Commission, and the Knights Templars, among others.

In this episode, Bilderberg Group member Denis Healey and popular conspiracy authors Robert Anton Wilson and David Icke discuss the origins of the theories and the mountain of evidence supporting them.

The Internet teems with info on these and other secret societies. There are plenty of sites for you to choose from, so we'll leave it up to you to sift truth from fiction.

Plus, don't forget to visit our 'Conspiracies' message board to let us know whether you believe the secret society conspiracy is fact, theory, or pure fiction

This could be a means to collecting the identities of individuals interested in such conspiracy topics.

Many things are possible.  On the TechTV web site they do require you to enter a first and last name in order to "become a member" and be able to post to the board.   If a person wanted to get access to the names, it is quite possible that could be done.

Re: Conspiracies show on Tech TV!!

From a document called "Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars":

The aviation field provided the greatest evolution in economic engineering by way of the mathematical theory of shock testing. In this process, a projectile is fired from an airframe on the ground and the impulse of the recoil is monitored by vibration transducers connected to the airframe and wired to chart recorders.

By studying the echoes or reflections of the recoil impulse in the airframe, it is possible to discover critical vibrations in the structure of the airframe which either vibrations of the engine or aeolian vibrations of the wings, or a combination of the two, might reinforce resulting in a resonant self-destruction of the airframe in flight as an aircraft. From the standpoint of engineering, this means that the strengths and weaknesses of the structure of the airframe in terms of vibrational energy can be discovered and manipulated.

APPLICATION IN ECONOMICS

To use this method of airframe shock testing in economic engineering, the prices of commodities are shocked, and the public consumer reaction is monitored. The resulting echoes of the economic shock are interpreted theoretically by computers and the psycho-economic structure of the economy is discovered. It is by this process that partial differential and difference matrices are discovered that define the family household and make possible its evaluation as an economic industry (dissipative consumer structure).

Then the response of the household to future shocks can be predicted and manipulated, and society becomes a well-regulated animal with its reins under the control of a sophisticated computer-regulated social energy bookkeeping system.

So a parallel possibility is that a show like Tech TV acts to 'shock test' the public mind. Data gathered from the reaction allows the public mind to be mapped, so that future reactions can not only be predicted, but controlled.

Acquiring fringe knowledge is like digging for diamonds in a mine field.

Re: Conspiracies show on Tech TV!!

wandering1 - thanks for checking into this.  Montalk's post seems more likely.

There are often times when multiple TV shows are played in sequence on SciFi channel concerned with UFO's and ET's.  I wonder if there is a cycle of 'education' followed by 'shock testing'; to gage what information is imbibed by the public, what is resonating with people, etc.  They could do this also by just knowing how many people are tuning into a particular show.  There's got to be a way (knowing how controlling these TV networks are) to keep track of who is tuning in, also.  Like, 50 people from this sector, 124 from that.  The highest level of viewing from homes with males age 32, and people who watched this UFO show, also watched that conspiracy show.

Sounds like Amazon, doesn't it?

Re: Conspiracies show on Tech TV!!

Yes, Amazon is good at tracking a lot of information.  It provides a window into what can be done in the area of tracking tastes, trends, and profiles.  I find the "shock testing" perspective interesting.  It makes me think of cause and effect on a micro and macro level tracked in a detailed manner. 

I think that how well you can track may be related to processing/computing power and how many variables you can estimate while considering the relationships between the variables. 

In Asimov's Foundation series, they used such models in the science/art of psychohistory.  I have heard that the first book in the Foundation series is in the works to be made into a movie.

If there are groups which possess time travel capability, then there is the potential to tweak variables in a refined manner and set up situations to closely follow desired pathways.  There was a reference to this type of thing in the Matrix movie when they tweaked a variable to change something and then Neo had the experience of deja vu.

Well, this is the second time these books have been mentioned to me in a week. Guess they are worth the read?

Re: Conspiracies show on Tech TV!!

Yes, I think that Asimov's Foundation series is among the best in science fiction.

Re: Conspiracies show on Tech TV!!

Okay, thanks.  Let me know if you hear anything more about a movie.  wink

Re: Conspiracies show on Tech TV!!

I'm late getting on this one, but I just had to chime in. While I loved the ideas in Asimov's Foundation (and certainly look forward to a movie), I recommend that anyone looking for science fiction (or preferably speculative fiction) which examines the nature of reality, and which details realistic characters' reaction to the breakdown of their perceived realities, check out Philip K. Dick. Forget the movies (Total Recall, Minority Report, etc.) and read the stories, which were not designed as celebrity vehicles, but rather as attempts by Phil to understand what he experienced. Back to the point, the whole conspiracy thing, like all the puppetmaster's manipulations, has several functions. Conditioning through "hit/shock/wound", simultaneously shaking belief systems and ruining economic viability leaves us tired and hungry. I try to call deprivation 'fasting' and use it to my benefit. Alright, then. What I intended to state here is that while the real enemy is not some other humans, it is the ones whose will some humans do. I was missing the connection between the two until I read some material by Eric Phelps. For the time being, I think he's correct in naming the jesuits as the top of the human pyramid. google him, or go to 'thespectrumnews.com'. While you're there, check out the Red Elk interview. And if you like Philip K. Dick, read 'Selections from the Exegesis', edited from Phil's notes to himself over the course of many searching years. Unless I'm mistaken, Phil was the first (modern) intellectual to posit a holographic universe. A man well ahead of his time.
