The Telescreen is the pervasive media screen put in front of, and
injected into, the eyes and ears of humans in the American
electronic techno-culture. This begins from birth, and moulds
consciousness throughout life: not a genuine human consciousness,
but rather is a less-than-human, despiritualized
semi-consciousness. People today continually flood their
consciousnesses with images and impressions from television,
videogames, church, radio, billboards, textbooks, magazines,
newspapers, etc.- the "telescreen world" of Orwell's 1984. The
Telescreen is about how this pseudosphere destroys consciousness
and society as humans give their attention, consciousness, and
vital spirit to the telescreen. The result is a society of unholy
subhumans, who no longer act like they have souls: They cannot turn
off the telescreen world even to have dinner and talk to each other
or to their children. When they do talk it is mostly about
impressions from the telescreen world. Their inner subjective
consciousness is constructed and formed by the telescreen, leading
to a world of despiritualization and warmongering by hordes of
conformist, petty, unhappy troll-like "yes-men." -- Jeff Grupp The
telescreens of 1984 substituted fiction lives for the empty ones of
a brainwashed population, as in Plato's cave. Grupp drives it home
that this is our world now. Some features of this dream-world of
The Telescreen: Materialism and consumerism make people into
robots, shallow stooges. Degrading self-images, down-dumbing
education of drills, not thinking skills. War propaganda fed on
pure fakery and repetition by the media, censored of truth and
filled with non-news, gossip and cant. Brainwashing underpinned by
fallacious reasoning. Example: Iran and Iraq slandered as
murderously planning to unleash WMDs, while the US really has and
uses them for genocide against target nations. Information warfare:
The bias of "educational" TV shows like the "History Channel."
Trusted figures hired to peddle suspect messages. Journalists who
stray from the party line into real issues are fired. Exploiting
the herd instinct to impose conformity. Psychological tyranny is
more effective than brute force. An artificial consciousness is
dinned into people by constant electronic stimuli. They depend on
it -- and on pharmaceutical drugs too -- for a feeling of
well-being: they are addicts. Appendix -- Infowars articles: the
NWO is taking over the patriot and truth movements, seemingly
attacking itself. We need Jeffersonian militias, not gun control.
-- J-P Leonard
