What’s next?
This morning we awake to in-your-face, shock-and awe headlines about a major tragedy in the DC metro area. An Army Black Hawk helicopter flew directly into American Flight 5342, with 64 people on board, including several high profile figure skaters who were flying back from the National Championships in Wichita.
Preliminary reports indicate there were no survivors.
My heart goes out to everyone touched or tangled up in this tragedy, especially those who lost loved ones. It is a stark reminder that bad things happen every single day, and for that reason, if no other, we all should be grateful for the lives we live.
That said, when I see the national media in lockstep on a major issue, I cannot help but think “false flag” — and it turns out there are plenty of facts to support this speculation, but first, consider the optics of what is impacting the public psyche:
NOTE: Fox News and CNN are both part of the insidious Trusted News Initiative.
On the one hand, it is understandable that these major media outlets would be covering a national tragedy. On the other, it is how they are covering the tragedy that I would like to draw your attention to.
CNN says, “all aboard feared dead after jet and helicopter midair collision.”
Words matter. Let’s break it down: first there is the emotionally gripping “all feared dead,” which instantaneously plays tricks on the mind, evokes a massive wave of sympathy, and essentially short circuits critical thinking.
Then comes the misleading suggestion that this was a “jet and helicopter midair collision.” How unfortunate that a jet and helicopter had a collision, right? Especially when everyone on board died, this is a major tragedy.
But note the order of words, “jet and helicopter,” and consider the omission of the highly relevant fact that the helicopter, an advanced military helicopter with an unimaginable degree of maneuverability, flew directly at, and into, a passenger plane that was coming in for a landing at Reagan International Airport.
There is exactly no chance that this happened by accident.
This was 100% a calculated trajectory.
And yet, all over the news, we hear of how “a jet collided with a helicopter.”
THINK ABOUT IT.
As you can see from the front page of The Seattle Times, even local newspapers are using the same language, that everyone is feared dead because an American Airlines jet “collided” with an Army helicopter—clearly that’s the narrative.
Now, within less than 12 hours of the event, Fox News is already running headlines about the “investigation,” which is preemptively going to focus on this tragedy as if it was a great, big, terrible, “misunderstanding” between the aircraft.
This is a perfect example of master propagandists working hard to push all the buttons they need to push in order to heighten suggestibility and program the public psyche. In the clip above, for example, we have “hear the first words,” which is a trick of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), hacking into the primal sensitivities of “auditory communicators,” whom comprise some 20% of the population.
Another 20% of the population is hard-wired to process information kinesthetically—aka “kinesthetic communicators”—and these individuals are immediately impacted by the words “3 soldiers,” as their minds can easily envision and embody the mental archetype of a soldier. Thus, they empathize, and therefore sympathize, with the three soldiers going down on a Black Hawk helicopter.
Again, the mind is sucked into story, without triggering logic or skepticism.
As for the rest of the population, the 60% who are
