North Koreans train My only thought (that isn't as laughable) is they are raising their children to be war minded (if this is accurate) and they have to grow up sometime...when they do will they have better technology and capability to carry out what they cannot now? Just a thought. Otherwise surely he is not actually basing his strategies on the same ideals as the propaganda videos of us they were putting out. People ask why the civilians of NK keep going along with their lives the way they are...it is a good example of brain washing that is why. They are steeped in this atmosphere til it becomes natural for them. This is the life they know and while we have more freedom (right now) to do our own research and etc from what I understand theirs is limited.
Anyway I've been caught up in the news lately as has much (most?) of the US. I have noticed that the Boston Marathon bombings and the manhunt for the still missing suspect have served to act as a good time for them to bring out their new tactical vehicles and do a lot of photo ops and put them out there. Sort of a "See we told you we'd need these!" type thing it seems. News story from earlier today with photos There seems to be an ever growing number to those who are calling false flag and conspiracy theories which I have to agree that NOT EVERYTHING is a conspiracy and should NOT be treated as such though there are always those things that make you go...well that IS weird or the wonder as to why it seems things constantly seem to escalate. It seems we get used to one thing being the new normal only for that to change again and we have to adjust to that. If several years back you would have told me the military would start conducting drills in the US and we'd have drones being experimentally used (especially that Oklahoma would be a testing ground) for police work not just military work. It would have seemed too futuristic to me. Part of it is just that we are growing so quickly technologically and there are so many ways for this to be used....where do we draw the line between using it to help and using it to control. I think that is where the conspiracy theorists come in at with the analyzing of these situations. Is this occurring as a natural course of action? Or are we being pushed in the direction of becoming accustomed to these things being the norm and allowing military and police to reform their boundaries. Their question is are we being protected or controlled I believe that is what it boils down to. I honestly don't have an answer to that as I see a lot of both going on. I do analyze the crap out of the news and all and I have found that increasingly the media puts out inaccuracies and then redacts them only in turn they point their fingers at social media. I think the thing is that people using social media are mainly reposting what they read from MSM (main stream media) I think what we are seeing that is creating the conspiracy theorists are that people are starting to question their sources as MSM has been putting out so much incorrect information in the rush to be first to get the news out there. They put out conflicting stories or they put out bits of information without checking to make sure it is accurate. Partly because we in an era now where news travels so quickly that is a race between news agencies to get it out first and to hopefully beat twitter and facebook etc.....then a more recent development it seems is more and more people are latching on to sites such as Broadcastify to listen to the police scanners and get their "news" straight from the source. Even then this can prove inaccurate or confusing when things happen such as last night when they put out there the names of two suspects claiming it was them that they were searching for one of them being a missing student from Brown University and then later realizing it was not and then changing it to the two Chechnyan brothers (the MSM did this as well) only AFTER friends and family of the first two named suspects were harassed and threatened.
Something I don't think people think about so much is that the media strongly influences peoples feelings on subjects. No I'm not saying people can't make up their own minds about how they feel....I'm saying sometime when you are watching the news pay attention to the particular wording they use when describing something. The tone they set. You may find that another news station etc will set an entirely different tone on the same story. It all is influenced heavily by the emotions that particular station etc intends to produce or enact in people. I've been really noticing that more and more. I knew this did this for ratings on certain stories etc and always have ...however if you really watch it goes a bit deeper than that. The media really does influence the public in other ways. (yeah I know captain obvious here but it is the depth of it that surprised me I guess.) Another reason I say do your own research. Make SURE you check out multiple news sources before you pass judgement on something.
Something else I have noticed is the hatred that spews onto the boards and comments sections of any news story, FB post, etc People seem to think that hate warrants more hate. The only thing that is happening is it is spreading it and creating more situations like this when people snap or when groups become more and more divided over hateful remarks about religions, ethnicity, etc. We are dividing ourselves and blaming it on situations like these when we should be standing together instead against it. Not pointing fingers and saying Oh because you are of this religion or of this race you shall now be grouped in with this person who did this or that. People are individuals. I can understand the anger especially about situations like this one with the Boston Marathon...what gets me is when people put all that anger on an entire ethnic group or religious group. It disgusts me to see people stereotyping. I will post more of my thoughts on this later (maybe)
