Why the current hyping of 'The Hunger Games'
lead character girl soldier..."Katniss?" Merely to connote cat-like stealth ala 'Cat Woman?' No.
Because Elizabeth Catlett, age 96, was about to die and just did.

Catlett's wikipedia entry is sanitized - no mention of this -
"She was arrested during a railroad workers' protest in Mexico City in 1958 and in 1962 the U.S. State Department banned her from returning to the United States for nearly a decade because of her political affiliations."

Catlettt is a reminder that the US military government oppresses poor hungry women.
Bad for recruiting them.
So the two keywords share the same news cycle as interference theory counterpropaganda
to support nationalism and military recruiting of females.

What do you expect from the author of 'Mockingjay,' a decoy of CIA media called Operation Mockingbird?

Wow. Stupid movie, but--- seriously stupid post. And I was just about to praise Hugh for posting something that I actually agree with in the RT thread. Screw that.

Best thing about the success of the 'hunger games' film (which, btw, is the first hollywood film I've felt the impulse to sneak into since Avatar3D- ((which is also really, really stupid-- I still snuck in 3 times. What can I say, it was so pretty!!))--- it will be followed by 2 films that couldnt be anything other than absolutely revolutionary. Unless they stray absolutely from the source material, which is possible given the first movie. Although I hope and suspect that the film makers were only trying to keep it tame in order to build up interest in the franchise. We'll see?

[MayDay]

btw, hugh, have you even read a plot synopsis of 'mockingjay'?

[barracuda]

Yep. As persistent as Hugh might be regarding his unmasking of the covert uses of this film - so far keyword hijacking both publicity surrounding an aetheist rock festival and the obituary of a Mexican sculptor - he has yet to come to terms with the overt message of the books and the film, which is one of rather explicit anti-totalitarianism and rebellion against the oppressions of the state, specifically the thinly veiled US state.

[Hugh Manatee Wins]

You have yet to come terms with the covert aspects of psyops that hide behind your subjective view of what is 'overt.'
The cover, title, theme, image is the message. The content is rarely digested and it has embedded psyops poisons.
Like fictionalization of realities as psychological analgesic, desensitiization, rehearsal, training, shaking down the low-hanging fruit for recruiting, etc.

Anti-smoking ads are cleverly designed to sell smoking. Same thing.

Oh look. BBC today. Are you getting the pattern yet? Cam you hear me now? "BRAVE?"

Can Brave reverse Disney box office fortunes?
April 3.2012
By Kev Geoghegan
Entertainment reporter, BBC News

The creative minds at Pixar studios, home to Toy Story and The Incredibles, and their partners Disney have travelled into the highlands of mediaeval Scotland for their latest film Brave. But following the financial failure of their sci-fi feature John Carter, how much pressure is there for this new project to be a box office hit?

[Hugh Manatee Wins]

Go rent the 1939 movie, 'Babes in Arms,' with Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland.
It was designed to steer anti-war youth towards the inevitability of WWII. And it used anti-war sentiments as rapport to embed the message.

btw, hugh, have you even read a plot synopsis of 'mockingjay'?

Yup.
Have you seen the cover? The millions who'll never read it have seen the cover.
Scholastic is the publisher.
Scholastic is CIA psyops inject into schools and youth markets for decades.
Scholastic also printed up Cold War indoctrination pamphlets for soldiers. Oh, children-soldiers....same thing.

Have you read 'The Mockingbirds?'
Point being: You don't have to for tthe psyops diversion tactics to work on memory.
BTW, it's about a secret group that protects....oh, nevermind.

[MayDay]

Oy. I'm off to a hopeless start, apparently.

[MayDay]

Hugh has a point, as usual. That point is lost in the actual content of the... oh, nevermind.

[Hugh Manatee Wins]

Stay with it, MayDay. Strategic culture is tricky but worth examining closely to discern the intended effect.

The bottom line of 'Mockimgjay' from the synopsis-

Katniss is convinced to become "the Mockingjay": a symbol of the rebellion against the ruling Capitol.

But in reality, Operation Mockingbird IS the ruling Capitol. CIA-media.

So a keyword-hijacking and meme-reversal is being marketed.
That's the fingerprint of a cognitive counterpropaganda technique exploiting interference theory.
Look up "interference theory" and "counterpropaganda."

The military defines "counterpropaganda" as any action taken to reduce the effect of "hostile information."
This includes pre-conditioning the target audience to not believe it or...not perceive it.

"Interference theory" is a memory obstruction process of pre-biasing the audience to opposite associations anchored within similarities, like being given a cognitive roadmap of a familiar city but upside down and backwards.

This technique even works after exposure to "hostile information," not just before.
So the game theory justification of marketing decoys designed to compete with other associations is a cost-benefit plus for the psyoperators.

[barracuda]

I doubt the overt content is any more undigested than any supposed embedded propaganda. I think ignoring the ostensible message in books and films is really one of the weakest aspects of your analysis. The subtext, the more deeply hidden the better, is all that matters to you, and perhaps rightly so in the context of a UFO conspiracy forum. Happily, that's not the case with most people. I don't expect works of pop culture to spark or drive revolutionary politics on the ground, but inasmuch as they work to show totalitarianism in a poor light, and highlight the cruelty of state oppression, I can be thankful for that. There are plenty of films and books that attempt to instill patriotism and militarism directly to the viewer, so I appreciate those that don't.

Don't get me wrong, I didn't love the movie or anything. But the theme of the film is clear - the very rich own the government and oppress the rest of the country to support their extravagant way of life. I mean, that's what the movie is about. And the reality is that people want to see exciting films about people overcoming adversity. Unfortunately, the movie-going demographic has little interest in documentaries about the realities of state oppression. They don't have to be trained to do that - it's human nature to enjoy a thrilling and dangerous love story, and to be bored by history as it is commonly presented. If you can come up with a means of publicising the evils of fascism that is entertaining, and contains a love story and some action excitement, I wish you would. I have a hard time coming up with something that wouldn't fit rather neatly into your auto-schema of "covert recruitment".

Regarding "mockingbird", it's worth keeping in mind that code names like this are chosen for their very ability to hide as completely innocent and innocous words. How is it that they are able to do that? Because these words are commonly used without any reference to the codenamed operation. Shocking.

Anti-smoking ads are cleverly designed to sell smoking. Same thing.

Care to support that assertion? I suppose that's why the rate of smoking in the US has decreased by half in the last forty years, because that clever trick is working so well.

Oy. I'm off to a hopeless start, apparently.

Nonsense, you're quite right to question these kinds of posts. They're silly. Worse than that, they form a kind of propaganda of their own, in which artworks which denigrate fascism are consistently twisted against themselves to become, in Hugh's polemic, their own opposite.

[MayDay]

Dude, you read that on cia wiki. I know cause I just read it there. Thanks for the input, but I'm actually looking forward to reading the novels, especially now that I've exhausted China Meiville (my current favorite author.)

[Hugh Manatee Wins]

Another principle of psyops is to prevent the association of everyday things with "hostile" or "subversive" information.
Because repetition from these triggers reinforces memory.

Cats. Lots of cats. Cats everywhere.
What if every time a recruitable young girl saw a cat...she remembered that woman named "CATlett" and her mistreatment by the USG?

So instead a decoy association, "KATniss."
