Hegel, the Media, 'Conspiracy Theories' and You. [pt 1/3]

Part 1 of 3.

This episode (in three parts) explores the popular perception of a 'conspiracy theory' and why this common attitude is dangerous to a 'free and open society'. This episode illustrates how this perception leads to political complacency, effectively undermining democracy substituting it with an illusion of 'free choice' underpinned by Hegelian dialectic.

It also examines the crucial role of the media in the 'free nations of today', and how secret political agenda's and institutions (such as the CIA) have molded the role of the media in society over the years.

These concerns are all highlighted in John F. Kennedy's Speech: "the president and the press" (1961).


----


The next episode will focus on the role of the FIAT currency system, and the impact of international banking cartels on world affairs.

I accidently deleted a comment I ment to reply to! The buttons are so close together! I am so sorry, if you notice this please re-write it.

The comment observed that I am using Hegelian dialectic to prove something the wrong way around. This is fair, but I do not attempt to use hegals thoughts to prove anything. I am observing things (common thought patterns) in our society, and using Hegal as a model to illustrate it. I could have used any dialectic which explored the ubiquity of duality

[astrosecret]

the definition of dialectic you present as well as the examples makes a mockery of hegel's philosophy. it's not about picking one side over the other, or combining both sides to 'understand', it's about ascending to a wholly new diremption.

[ConcernedCitizen9]

This is not an introduction to Hegel, but rather using a small aspect of Hegelianism as a model to illustrate an observation.

I could have made the same arguments without any reference to hegel; as it is not the core argument.

Perhaps you were looking for something in the wrong place?

[almansell]

you have completely exagerated your case and mis-represented the nature of representative politics today. One of the guys at 5:12 should be wearing a blue tie.

[ConcernedCitizen9]

Hahah :)

[ConcernedCitizen9]

I apologize for the last few comments I accidently deleted! This was not intentional

One made reference to the spelling: its hard to edit my work on this computer as I write the text directly into Adobe Photoshop which is not a text editor. I wish I could find an easier way to do it.

Thank you for all the kind responses/criticism

THE ELEPHANT = THE DONKEY  By dividing us they have conquered us. The only parties now are the THE NWO GLOBALISTS vs. WE THE PEOPLE.

I agree. Deciding between Bush and Kerry was like choosing between McDonalds and Burger King, Pepsi and Coke: it was the same product. I remember the campaign. I took notes. Bush talked of 'a strategy of freedom around the world', while Kerry (on the so-called left) called for 'extending the US military at the far corners of the globe'. Bush wanted tax cuts to keep the fat cats rich - so did Bush. The winner, as always: the power elite behind the scenes.

I wonder if multiple choice testing programs young minds to deal with data in a Hegelian dialectic manner?

It's HAY-gel, not HEE-gel

The sign on the wall said, please do not shit on the floor , so I jumped and shat upon the celling!

[spartacandream]

I was neither left nor right, as for center, I don't fit on the spectrum so no. I'm a libertarian.

my minds gone numb.

There is no such system where the people doing things get money. Sure they get money too live, but they don't get back what they have made. If the bank was runned by the people we would get loans close too 0% and the inflation would be low. Or we could have the same system and use the money the banks made too build stuff for everyone. Why isent there a political system for the people, if there is equal rights the majority should have a say. Everything goes the way the mega rich wants.

[moegreen2]

It makes so much sense. I have for the last few days woundered about the political system where I am from. And it does not matter what I pick, the choice I want is not there. We got capitalism, and communism, not as black and white as that, but for simplicity sake I call it that. No matter what I pick the rich will get richer and the working man that produces things will get less. Where is the system that limits the upper class? And I am not talking about the "a few million" guy.

Si. Muy bien, amigo.

Los "medios de comunicacion" que no son mas que medios de entretenimiento, se ha dedicado primordialmente a vender basura, a tergiversar movimientos sociales, corrupcion de estado y crimenes contra la humanidad. Sin embargo, el estado y los dueños de el; los ciudadanos de una nacion, hemos permitido bajo coercion, desde luego, que usen nuestras señales de aire, que son de una nacion y por ende propiamente de los ciudadanos.
