			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I decided to auction a Taco Bell meal on eBay. People were bidding for this Taco Bell meal, and when they won, I shipped them just that &#8211; an actual taco. Soon the FDA came in, seized my stuff and fined me heavily. Then the talking heads got involved and turned it into a debate over the free market.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4o-TeMHys0">Here&#8217;s something even more bizarre</a> from the New York gubernatorial debate:</p>
<p><object width="480" height="385" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/x4o-TeMHys0?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/x4o-TeMHys0?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00"/><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/>The Rent is Too Damn High!</object></p>
<p>And as the taco became a TV debate about free market economics in my dream, Sean Hannity is on right now debating rent control in light of this debate. It&#8217;s actually great marketing, a catchy phrase &#8211; &#8220;The Rent is Too Damn High!&#8221; You can go to <a href="http://www.rentistoodamnhigh.org/">the official Web site</a> and buy &#8220;The Rent is Too Damn High!&#8221; T-shirts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=1676">A conspiracy theorist</a> examines the symbolism in her videos, comparing them to Manchurian candidate triggers in 1960s CIA spook projects (as well as occult symbols present in secret societies).</p>
<blockquote><p>Project MK-ULTRA, or MKULTRA, was the code name for a covert CIA mind-control and chemical interrogation research program, run by the Office of Scientific Intelligence. The program began in the early 1950s, continuing at least through the late 1960s, and it used United States citizens as its test subjects. The published evidence indicates that Project MK-ULTRA involved the surreptitious use of many types of drugs, as well as other methods, to manipulate individual mental states and to alter brain function.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>An outgrowth of that project is unofficially referred to as “Project Monarch”. It is a mind control technique which exposes the subject to a trauma so violent that his/her mind creates a dissociation. The victim’s brain becomes compartmentalized and a new personality, which is then molded and educated  by the manipulators, emerges.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>During their reeducation, subjects are said to be exposed to numerous symbols such as trees, spider webs, masks, mazes, butterflies, etc. They are also shown movies which contain specific symbols (or “triggers”) such as The Wizard of Oz and many Disney Movies. The same way those subjects are brainwashed and reeducated, mass media conducts a large scale mind control project, which starts at birth with Disney movies and continues with Hollywood flicks and music videos.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=1676">&#8220;Lady Gaga, The Illuminati Puppet&#8221;</a> is from last August but still gets lots of comments, many of which are interesting. I like this comment by Charles Deckert:</p>
<blockquote><p>Ah, I see now! They’re putting out “role models” for us all, aren’t they? I see now why the music sucks; the point lies in body language and neurolinguistics, which for today’s youth and even their immediate predecessors is easy to hide under a bunch of mindless noise (wrapped up with its own programming of course). The downgrading and desecration of art on all levels can be seen as a means of turning the clarity of the collective consciousness into mere noise and blur. Cinema has gone to shit, music has gone to shit, even literature has made the contents of Dom DeLuise’s septic tank much more interesting and educational. For this, I propose that those of us who’re artists in any field make it a point to put out what we do from the deepest levels of our brains and our hearts and to avoid getting sucked into the machine from which artists like Lady Gaga and Rihanna (and many others!) have been produced and payrolled to pollute our understanding and our tastes.</p></blockquote>
<p>In the past I have pointed out my theory for the consistent, obvious mocking of moral absolutism found in the media &#8211; that a lack of spirituality leads to a hole which can be &#8220;filled&#8221; by unquenchable purchases of advertised consumer products, rather than dedicating your life to a higher power of some kind, spread through acts of selfless charity.<br />
The commenter raises a good point &#8211; this may be part of a longer-term effort to instill moral relativism permanently to make way for consistent profits. (I always blamed crappy music on the RIAA&#8217;s <a href="http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/top-403.htm">legal-payola-by-proxy</a> and anti-piracy settlements being more profitable than sales.)</p>
