Manufacturing Consent is a book, but there's a movie, too: Manufacturing Consent (film). We are being lied to all the time, assured we have a participatory democracy when what we have is a delusion giving us the illusion of control and choice.

Israel's female IDF soldiers on combat
Tamar Yarom, 2007; Sheldon S., Pfc. Sandoval, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

| Having the power to kill Arabs in the Israeli Army (IDF) is intoxicating and it ruined our lives. |
.
Israeli female soldiers give shocking testimonies about the Israeli Army
(wocomoHUMANITY) March 1, 2023: ISRAEL - This is a personal account of female soldiers about their life in the Israeli Army, the only military in the world to forcibly draw females for mandatory military service.
It is a female point of view on the drama of an unending war, on the moral challenges they faced at the killing and extermination of the Palestinian population.
 |
| It's cool to shoot fish in a barrel after we bomb them! |
Did they really smile in the pictures?
In 1988 the filmmaker herself was a militant in the IDF (the euphemistic Israeli Defense Force of its Department of War) in the land where Palestinians are concentrated and killed, called the Occupied Territories.
"How could I ever think I'd forget?" is what one of the young killers asks herself at the end of this film.

Their names are Meytal, Rotem, Inbar, Dana, Tal, Libi, and they have one thing in common, having served the Israeli Defense Forces.
 |
| I can't believe my eyes. I'd better get my gun. |
These young women at 18 years old discover a world completely different from their daily life in the ultra-secure police state they have helped build that is Israel.
First of all, entering the military instinctively leads them to erase their femininity and copy the behavior of testosterone-poisoned males.
Furthermore, joining the army also leads them to participate in a group terror, collective punishment and other war crimes according to international law, torture, maiming, and murder, based on their wanting to belong to Israel.
Some of them will commit atrocities during this endless "conflict" with Palestine, which they would certainly never have thought of being able to perpetrate.
 |
| Am I being used as propaganda for the IDF? |
With impressive candor they talk about what they saw and what they did, the way they tried to make sense of this "other world," and how they tried to reconcile their experiences with the self they were familiar with when not wearing an army uniform.
This documentary does not seek to excuse or justify their atrocities or the criminal acts they committed in the West Bank (one of two Palestinian concentration camps) during this period since the first Palestinian Uprising.
To See if I’m Smiling powerfully explores the way gender, ethics, personal power, and moral irresponsibility interact in times of war.
It’s a rare tapestry of women’s testimonies that leaves us to ponder some of the most burning questions of our times.
It is not only a story about women in the Israeli Army and the Israeli-Palestinian turmoil they contributed to, but a universal story about war and its atrocities and what it does to people.

Jimmy Dore Show: Elon Musk's "madness"

| Twitter seduced me with promises of power and money, money and power. Let's go to Mars! |
Could 80 percent of Twitter accounts be bots? It's believable. There's no chance Musk will stop censoring voices on Twitter. He won't mention Julian Assange even though he's said to be all about "free speech." He isn't.
He's a puppet figure held up to do useful things for the powers that be. When they are done with him, they will dispose of his fortune, reputation, and possibly his life. That's how it goes with the likes of Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and other multi-billionaire figureheads.
They are stuffed shirts who must toe the line, rich on paper and nearly powerless when it comes to do with what they themselves have the volition to do; it must be approved first. They will not be allowed to rock the capitalist boat that enriched them.
Elon Musk’s Twitter deal is suddenly back on for the same high price as before ($54.20 a share) because he was about to be deposed or because he was threatening to expose the CIA and other government agencies' bots? The corporate mainstream media still won’t mention imprisoned Julian Wikileaks Assange.

10 Fantastic Fungi Superpowers
Mycology is the study of mushrooms. And there is much to study. This is the least known field of biology, an entire collection of organisms closer to us than creatures we resemble. Yet, we know next to nothing about fungi, mycelia, and the fruiting bodies we call shrooms. It's as if the "gods" (space devas) dropped DNA powder upon the earth, like semen on a fallow field, earth's biome, that gave rise to these strange life forms that then got into our human (Homo sapien sapien) genome.

Satanist/Christian exposes "Illuminati" (video)
Exposing The Illuminati From Within (Part 1 of 2)
(ProphecyClub.com) Bill Schnoebelen, now a Christian, was a Satanist, Catholic, 90th degree Mason, Mormon, voodoo priest, second-degree member of the Church of Satan, witch, Wiccan, New Ager, occultist, channeler, Knight Templar, and a member of the Illuminati. Schnoebelen shows how the conspiracy works and how it uses the Lodge and the highest echelons of power and technology from secret "black project" operations to form a world government.

Ex-Illuminati Leo Lyon Zagami with host Jimmy Church (coasttocoastam.com, Dec. 19, 2015)
Leo Lyon Zagami spoke from Rome with host Jimmy Church about secret powerful groups and individuals.
Zagami says he is a member of a branch of the legendary Illuminati, which he describes as "a network of secret societies" as well as "a priesthood of various religions."
They are composed of dark and light factions, which he says are continually involved in bringing individuals to power to control the world. Zagami thinks that the "good" faction is currently in the minority.
The Illuminati are chosen from among the aristocracy and royalty. For membership some groups require a blood test to establish bloodlines, heritage, and eligibility.
Why is Zagami alive to talk? "I have an order behind me that guarantees a certain security so we can bring you these truths," he said, adding that there is a debate within secret societies about what to reveal. "Knights" from various orders are constantly giving him information to help understand the current state of the New World Order, since he says that there is no longer such a thing as a free press.
In the early 20th century, the activities of such groups as Aliester Crowley’s OTO opened a dimensional pathway for evil entities which have manifested in modern times as what we know as aliens and UFOs.
Ultimately, Zagami believes that the evil part of the Illuminati is assisting various incarnations of the "Antichrist." "It is a battle of angels and demons." More + AUDIO

Four Powers: wisdom, energy, life, kindness
Nyanaponika Thera, Numerical Discourses (ATI); Amber Larson, Dhr. Seven, Wisdom Quarterly

.
[The Buddha taught:] "Meditators, there are four powers:
- the power of wisdom,
- the power of energy,
- the power of an unblemished life, and
- the power of benevolence.
 |
| Buddha statue, India (Erikonwanderlust/flickr) |
"And what, meditators, is the power of energy? As for those things that are bad, blameworthy, dark, unfit to be practiced, unworthy of noble ones, and which are held to be so -- to rouse one's will, to make an effort, and stir up one's energy for giving up all of these things.
"And as for those things that are good, blameless, bright, fit to be practiced, worthy of noble ones, and which are held to be so -- to rouse one's will, to make an effort and stir up one's energy for gaining all these things -- this is called the power of energy.
 |
| In peaceful seclusion (Sasin Tipchai/Bugphai) |
"And what, meditators, is the power of benevolence? There are four ways of benevolence: by giving gifts, by friendly speech, by helpful acts, and by being impartial.
- This is the best of gifts: the gift of Dharma.
- And this is the best of friendly speech: to teach again and again Dharma to those who wish for it and who listen attentively.
- And this is the best of helpful acts: to arouse, instill, and strengthen confidence in the unbeliever; to arouse, instill, and strengthen virtue in the immoral; to arouse, instill, and strengthen generosity in the stingy; to arouse, instill, and strengthen wisdom in the unwise.
- And this is the best bestowal of equity: if a stream-winner (stream enterer) becomes equal to a stream-winner; a once-returner equal to a once-returner; a non-returner equal to a non-returner; and an arhat equal to an arhat.
This, meditators, is called the power of benevolence."
"And this (concludes) the four powers.
"Now, meditators, a noble disciple endowed with these four powers has left behind five fears:
"A noble disciple (thus endowed) will think: 'No fear do I have for my livelihood. Why should I have fear about it? Have I not the four powers of wisdom, energy, unblemished life, and benevolence?
"'It is one who is foolish and lazy, of blameworthy conduct in deeds, words, and thoughts, and who has no benevolence -- such a one might be in fear for his or her livelihood.
"'No fear do I have about disrepute or about embarrassment in assemblies, nor have I fear of death or of an unhappy future destiny. Why should I have these fears? Have I not the four powers of wisdom, energy, unblemished life, and benevolence? It is one who is foolish and lazy, of blameworthy conduct in deeds, words, and thoughts, and who has no benevolence -- such a one might have all these fears.'
"Now, meditators, a noble disciple endowed with these four powers has left behind five fears:
- the fear for one's livelihood,
- the fear of disrepute,
- the fear of embarrassment in assemblies,
- the fear of death, and
- the fear of an unhappy future [rebirth] destiny.

"'It is one who is foolish and lazy, of blameworthy conduct in deeds, words, and thoughts, and who has no benevolence -- such a one might be in fear for his or her livelihood.
"'No fear do I have about disrepute or about embarrassment in assemblies, nor have I fear of death or of an unhappy future destiny. Why should I have these fears? Have I not the four powers of wisdom, energy, unblemished life, and benevolence? It is one who is foolish and lazy, of blameworthy conduct in deeds, words, and thoughts, and who has no benevolence -- such a one might have all these fears.'
"Thus it should be understood, meditators, that a noble disciple endowed with the four powers has left behind five fears" (AN 9.5). More
ENDNOTE: Noble disciple: a stream-winner or any of the three further stages of enlightenment, for only from stream-entry onwards is moral conduct able to be perfect although, as evidenced by the Ratana Sutra, the "Jewel Discourse," virtue is not inviolable until arhatship. Until then one is still able to do harm:
Excerpt of the Ratana Sutra: ...9. "Those who realized the Noble Truths well taught by (the Buddha) who is profound in wisdom, even though they may be exceedingly heedless, they will not take an eighth rebirth (in the sense sphere realm or kama loka)."
[The reason it is stated that there will be no eighth rebirth for a person who has attained stream entry, the first stage of enlightenment, is that such a being can be reborn at most only seven times in the sense sphere realm. This is according to Ven. Piyadassi, and it is not clear why he inserts this caveat or proviso because it is otherwise universally accepted within the Theravada school, at least as translated into English, that a stream enterer can only be reborn up to seven more times anywhere.]
"This precious jewel is the Sangha. By this (asseveration of the) truth may there be happiness. 10. "With the gaining of insight one abandons three states of mind, namely, self-illusion, doubt, and clinging to [the pursuit of any] meaningless rites and rituals [drawn by the wrong belief that they could ever result in enlightenment], should there be any. One is also fully freed from the four states of [subhuman] woe and is therefore incapable of committing any of the six major wrongdoings.
[These actions would result in rebirth in those worlds, i.e., i. matricide, ii. patricide, iii. the murder of an arhat (fully enlightened person), iv. the shedding of the Buddha's blood, v. causing a schism in the Sangha, or vi. clinging to pernicious false beliefs (niyata micca ditthi, obstinate wrong views such as doubting the efficacy of karma).]
"This precious jewel is the Sangha. By this (asseveration of the) truth may there be happiness. 11. "Any evil action one may still do by deed, word, or thought [this sentence shows that one may still engage in unwholesome karma], one is incapable of concealing it because it has been proclaimed that such concealing is impossible for one who has seen the Path (to nirvana). [When one becomes a stream enterer, part of this attainment is a change of lineage from ordinary worldling to a "noble" person because one has directly glimpsed or experienced the reality of nirvana here and now, which causes a radical and permanent change in view and intention though not necessarily one in personality and habits.] This precious jewel is the Sangha. By this (asseveration of the) truth may there be happiness."
