Dumb and Dumber- The Curse of American Media

Back in 1933, film screenwriters first used the term “dumbing down” in revising the script so it would appeal to those of lower education or intelligence.  Since then there has been a continuation of the dumbing done process in the main stream media.  I stopped watching the news media a couple of years ago.  I found that often my intelligence was insulted by the talking heads of the news readers.  I would listen as they explained to me what I had just witnessed, with their bias slant and often misquotes. 
Our country has been infected by the dumbing down process to the point we have now a new term “fake news.”  If the public is preoccupied with the ignorant trash that is being spoon-fed everyday by television, movies, music, internet and video games what do we expect our culture to become?  We continually are being fed on a diet of senseless entertainment that all act just as effective as the most potent drug dulling the senses and the brain.
With so much entertainment as the modern-day opiate to the masses to divert people’s attention, these weapons of mass distraction efficiently render people oblivious to see what is really happening in the world. Compound that with the lowest common denominator appealing to the most indecent interests in sex, senseless materialism that manipulate consumers into spending money on false promises of sex, status, and happiness.  We are fed a constant barrage of entertainment that dually serves as propaganda along with the mesmerizing effects captivated by sports that also draw enormous amounts of money, and the globalist have us right where they want us – numbed and dumbed.
 Even the flicker rates of televisions, videos, computers, and cinema by design are all programmed to contain hidden properties that physically resonate and alter the human brain’s alpha wave state to induce a hypnotic, mesmerizing, trancelike state of mind. This literally drugs and distorts the cognitive processes of the mass audience being subliminally fed input that modify and shape values, moral and ethical messages and multiple autosuggestions that carry powerful binding effects on people’s unconscious minds and future behavior.
Most right-thinking people are agreed that physical effects aside, the content of the majority of TV programming today is designed to instill a social worldview and value system that is self-centric and is, in fact, the opposite of what a healthy and enduring society requires. Self-interest at any cost rules the day, and it is more and more evident that empathy for one’s fellow citizen and a sense of personal responsibility are rapidly vanishing along with the morality that all strong civilizations have known to be necessary for survival.
With the consolidation of mass media in recent years limited now to just a handful of globalist giant media corporations merging with national governments, a monopoly of thought, beliefs, perceptions of reality and core values are instilled into the masses and covertly maintained. The whole country has been influenced by the various forms of media as state sponsored propaganda by the globalist have absolute control over a deluded and hopelessly oblivious population. With the regulating effects of mass media these days possessing a global outreach that is unprecedented in recorded human history and people on this planet fast become programmed sheeple and unthinking robots under complete power and control of the globalist.
Jimmy Carter’s National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski for years stated the globalist agenda. He regularly came out with very matter-of-fact yet incredibly astute and even prophetic observations about the globalist agenda. In 1970, in his book Between Two Ages: America’s Role in the Technotronic Era, Brzezinski stated:
The technotronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date, complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities.”
Welcome to the twenty-first century. Brzezinski goes on to conclude that the American people will become brainwashed in giving up control of their lives to the elite that they will reach a point when they are so dumbed down and confused, they are unable to even think individually for themselves. So, they can only repeat that which is downloaded into them by the constant repetition of what is driven into their heads by the mainstream media outlets. In effect, people defer the task of cognitive assessment and analysis of what is most important and real to what is simply communicated and propagated to them by the media.
There is a war for the minds of the American people.  Every day the conditioning process takes place in the homes of the American people.  Satan, along with his globalist followers are doing everything they can to destroy faith in God, to ridicule Christianity, and turn mankind away from finding God.
There are some who are waking up to the reality of what is happening in the world today.  Yet, most Christians are choosing to remain asleep.  What is disconcerting to me is the number of those who were partially awake at one time but slipped back into the slumber of death.
Life, for most of us, is a battle.  We face problems day by day, and whether you're a Christian or not that is your life's experience: it is a battle. For the Christian, life is a spiritual war, a mental struggle. Time and time again throughout the Word of God, and especially in the New Testament, we are told that as Christians we have an enemy. In 1 Peter chapter 5 we are told by the apostle: 'Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.' Paul the apostle in Ephesians chapter 6, because of his keen awareness of the devil as his adversary, and as the adversary of every child of God, tells us and them in Ephesus: 'Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles', the darts, 'of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand'.
Satan is using every means to make crime and degrading vice popular. The mind is educated to familiarity with sin even our young children have a knowledge of sin that that rivals the experience of a hardened sinner of twenty years ago. The message of sexual immorality, murder, lying, theft, drugs, disrespect, violence are watched every day by our children in video games, internet videos, television, and in the reality of actual criminal action in the home.
Am I being narrow-minded in thinking we have failed this generation by allowing evil people to control the minds of our children?  We may be able to distinguish between the good and evil but are our children and grandchildren able to make that distinction? There are those who have an agenda when it comes to our children.  That plan includes the acceptance of ideas that are dangerous to the spiritual life of our children.  The moral and ethical issues that the church has failed to address today are being accepted as normal by this generation.  Issues like transhumanism, genetic modification, transgender identification, cybernetics, mind uploading, and artificial intelligence have moral and ethical issues but are accepted by this generation as essential to the betterment of mankind.  Everyone of these issues have devastating side-effects.  The most significant side-effect is that they all are an attempt to modify the original design of the Creator and as history has shown this never works for the benefit of man but brings about destruction and death.
Don’t be guilty of allowing others to dumb down what you know is harmful and destructive to our children and grandchildren.  During the time of Joshua, there was a generation that did not know the LORD.  We have today a generation that the majority have no knowledge of the LORD.  What is sad, they have no interest in learning about the LORD they have been influenced by those who have gained control of their minds through the various forms of media.  If we are to save this generation, we will need to convince them of the truth and that my friend will be a significant battle.
