Psyops is advertising. Social control-based advertising.

[OP ED]

i admit that that is interesting. also something i can likely use.

thanks hugh.

Psyops is somewhat different from keyword marketing in that more is intended than mere visibility. But visibility is mandatory for all else to follow.

Once visible, the psyops cue's purpose is to create positive or negative framing of things.

Like 'Leave it to Beaver' premiering on television in September, 1957, just a few months before the first civilian nuclear power plant in the US goes online in Beaver County, Pennsylvania.

1957 was a rocky year for nuclear technology as far as the public goes.
The USG finally began to admit that possibly all that nuclear fallout from nuke tests that covered the nation...was not really a healthy thing.

A controversial bill was passed by Congress to indemnify the nuclear power industry in case of a big ole accident that contaminated a big ole piece of ground that cost billions in damage. 'Let the taxpayers pay for being nuked.'

A book was published by Popular Mechanics (CIA) called 'There's Adventure in Atomic Energy' with illustrations showing young Randy and Sam grinningly thrilled to hear their brand new geiger counters ("Thanks, dad") clicking away!

"I found it! I found it!, Sam yelled.

Chapter 2 titled "Radiation is everywhere"

So just when Admiral Rickover was reponsible for opening a nuclear plant in Beaver County...the American public was exposed to a young 'Beaver' with a friend named "Ricky Rickover."

The TV family's last name is "Cleaver." As in...splits. Just like atoms.
Ward, Wally...nice protective containment names.
June...nice life affirming beginnings of life name as in... 'June bride.'

So a banal benign association with the keyword, "Beaver," was marketed to 'Murkins' as conditioning for the beginning of nuclear power.

And that's the kind of semantic priming that the CIA has been doing in US media for decades.

but what is the effect supposed to be?

but what is the effect supposed to be?

Dig your sig quote, btw. True enough. Hundreds of times is a damn system.

The effect is supposed to be gaining support for the government and its policies.

[OP ED]

banal benign association with the keyword, "Beaver,"

i can think of a couple.



(sorry)


[good alliteration, btw, esp with the ulterior meanings]

[smiths]

ok, so you are an american citizen relatively ignorant about nuclear radiation and power,
you like this beaver character you have seen on TV and so your perception of nuclear issues is affected when you hear about a nuclear plant in Beaver County,
it is offset or minimised by your positive association with the beaver character

is that right?

Yes. That is semantic priming.

That's what the cognitive research supports and this is the basis for seemingly round-about-why-bother word games in pop culture psyops.

It's like stealing elections by shaving a few points here and there using every possible opportunity. Since spooks have hijacked most media, this presents lots of opportunities.

Psyops is a science that the masses must not learn because it is the anchor of commerce and governance.

So just when Admiral Rickover was reponsible for opening a nuclear plant in Beaver County...the American public was exposed to a young 'Beaver' with a friend named "Ricky Rickover."

The TV family's last name is "Cleaver." As in...splits. Just like atoms.
Ward, Wally...nice protective containment names.
June...nice life affirming beginnings of life name as in... 'June bride.'

Not to mention they're a textbook-definition-perfect Nuclear Family, and has always been the primary association in my mind for that phrase ever since I learned it, even though I was part of a nuclear family which even had a microwave oven at the time.

The beaver/cleaver/ward/wall-y thing is interesting, but the Rickover thing (which I did not remember was his name) makes it very compelling, Hugh.

My brain, it feels so squeaky-clean...

[barracuda]

I'd love to have been at the script meeting where the spooks told the writers what the lead character's name had to be.

[Zap]

Richard Rickover is a character who is on the periphery of Beaver's group of friends. Sometimes he is accepted, and other times he is shunned. Whenever he and Beaver cross paths it usually results in a major disaster. As an example, when Richard was caught breaking windows, by the police, he gave Beaver's name as his own.

[Maddy]

I read "Richard Rickover" and the first thing I think of is "Rick Rolls". Sorry.

Well, if anyone is curious about the inner workings of my mind, here is how I came up with the ¡Viva Kazan! post.

People were talking about Jackson Pollock, which made me think of the film ‘Pollock’ starring Ed Harris. Then I remembered that Ed Harris was one of the actors who didn’t clap or stand when Elia Kazan got his honorary Oscar one year. For some reason I actually thought Ed Harris was nominated for ‘Pollock’ the same year as the honorary Kazan thing, but I was wrong.

So, I went on youtube and found that Honorary award footage and thought Hugh would appreciate what for him would seem to come across as a false dichotomy. That is, they all showed up at the Oscars so they are probably all scumbags. That’s just my take on how HMW might see it, I don’t want to put words in his mouth.
As I was watching the clip I recalled that Kazan directed ‘¡Viva Zapata!’ which seemed very ‘RI’ because of the whole Bush/Zapata Oil thing, so I just started free-associating about Viva and Zapata and Kazan.

I always liked Lainie Kazan as a kid, she has a really huge rack and I remember seeing her naked in Playboy when I was probably too young to be looking at various careless parent’s copies of the magazine they left lying around.

Plus, she was in the stupid ‘Zohan’ movie, so I started saying ‘Don’t Fuck With Lainie Kazan’ over and over under my breath at work.
Plus, I had just seen ‘Revolutionary Road’ which has a small role in it that Zoe Kazan, Elia’s granddaughter played.

Hugh’s whole OP is about advertising, and that Aqua Velva ad is hilarious. I mean, she was probably the best person to ever pitch for Aqua Velva with the exception of Pete Rose, and he played first base anyway.

Then I remembered Mia Zapata, who was murdered which was lame, and in response to her death I knew of at least two albums ‘¡Viva Zapata!’ and ‘Evil Stig’ which is ‘Gits Live’ spelled backwards.

I don’t know about you, but I typically prefer protests about an artist who is dead who folks wish were still alive than protests about an artist who is alive who folks wish was dead.

Lastly, when I was at UMass I met a woman who must have had every copy of Viva magazine that came out in the 70’s. For the most part I always liked the magazine, it had that smeary Vaseline look to the imagery that Bob Guccione loved so much. Plus it gave me the chance to do that Mirror_rorriM PhotoShop trick I love so much.

But then that created a sort of Viva_aviV thing and I thought, ‘well now things are getting really out of hand. Next thing you know Alice the Kurious will be on here saying it’s a Pro Zionist statement. I should stop now’.
But you know, now that I think of it, maybe ‘Alice the Kurious’ means she’s bi-Kurious, and since Tel Aviv is supposeably the most homo friendly place in the Middle East, maybe it’s all good.
But that is probably for another thread, probably in the Lounge.


Ok, so that is the mess that is my mind. Thank you for letting me clean that up.

¡Viva Viva!

This is easy to do for spooks who run mainstream media and can displace a subversive Woody Guthrie with another "Woody" using CIA-Disney's 'Toy Story,' for instance.

And Disney's "Woody" cowboy character was meant to displace yet another dying-of-cancer cowboy known as the Marlboro Man plus legislation afoot banning the use of cartoon characters in tobacco advertising as being too effective on kidz. So a heartwarming story using toys that are pseudo-real was marketed with characters that resembled some used for alcohol and tobacco ads.

Chew tobacco, rookie!
