Spectator Sports On The Deck Of The Titanic (Panem et Circenses)

Sports provide a sublime distraction from the real events of the day. They are of no real consequence other than submission to team hierarchy and competition. There's no substantive returns other than shiny trophies, and for this reason it is pumped by the elite in almost equal media volume to politics in the media. Politics is another divisive narrative that keeps the people bickering while the elites get on with the job of strip mining the planet and stealing from the working classes.

I was challenged about this claim of mine on Twitter and the accuser was unable to provide one example of elite manipulation of our species even though they agreed it was going on. I claim that the reason this person was clueless on the Council on Foreign Relations, neurological programming of the masses, propaganda, fake wars and false flags et al is that they spent too much time watching sport. The irony is bitter to the enlightened mind.

update: My interlocutor provided many examples of political awareness. I was happy to see myself proved wrong though I claim that sports is used as a distraction. Here is an example of their well argued tweets.

@charlesfrith manipulation #1: using force to perpetuate the myth that the majority polling or voting a certain way is relevant.

If 70 Cops Were Injured The Corporate Whore Media Would Go Into Spastic Convulsions

The corporate media are the enablers of Govcorp violence. If this were 70 police injured you wouldn't know what hit you with a media blanket draped over a country for weeks on end about it. But as it's just civilians they're of no consequence and we barely hear about the protests in Spain and Mexico.

As we learned earlier. Protesters in Los Angeles were shot with lethal rubber bullets for using chalk on a sidewalk. 

Please note rubber bullets can kill. They are not solid rubber but contain metal inside.

Breaking The North Korean Mind Control of The USA Media - HBO's The Newsroom

There's a seed of something unusual (and possibly divine) in the USA but its just a seed. It's not yet a sapling nor a tree, because if we really dig into the history of the US it has been raping the non European world and inflicting death, destruction and misery through force of arms and propping up its pampered peoples with a media lie that its prosperity comes from only hard work and innovation. Yes they are part of the story but nowhere near the whole picture.

As the smash hit new HBO series The Newsroom articulates. The first step in solving a problem is recognising there is one.

I put it to you that if you need HBO to tell you that you're never going to realise what the real problem is. Just a hunch. It's a nice scene but it stinks of worthy sentimentality that entertainment or a flickering screen is the way out of this mess. Throw your TV out.
