The Real 'First Wave': Does Television Expose Conspiracies?

And other notions that television (without actually coming out and saying it because that wouldn't be politically correct) imitates life and exposes conspiracies in the process, if one has enough brains or imagination to see this...No offense, of course.

When Americans become aware that their big government is out to screw them, what usually gets the credit? The Interent, of course. And for those without the 'net, talk radio. But I submit that, as crazy as this sounds, there are some out there who get wise owing to television (and possibly music, but that would have to be only in cases of obscure folk artists on indie lables--certainly no one mainstream--and folks like Steve Vaus or Carl Klang come to mind. Then again, there are a few out there without TV, radio or internet, but do have car tape players.). Also, some movies like Mel Gibson's "Conspiracy Theory" (fiction) and of course, "Waco: Rules of Engagement" inspire one to think. But it could be TV, the most lambasted of pop media, might be responsible for enlightening some as well.

After all--thanks to public schools, just how many younger folks read well? That is, they would almost have to get their info from non-print media. Now check this out:

John Doe, 40 or so, who reads as little as possible and thinks talk radio is b-o-r-i-n-g, gets nearly all his info from TV/CNN sound bites, and, of course, sports. He has DirectTV or PrimeStar or something similar so he can watch all those football games, and one Friday around 9 p.m. he happens to "log" into an action/suspense/thriller, not realizing it was the Sci-Fi Channel, but he likes lots of action. There is this guy, Cade Foster, who, advertizers claim, "believes in aliens--he just killed another one." Next time, it's Sunday night and, after a full day of football, tunes into NBC where he watches "Jarod" pull the wool over "the Center's" eyes again; then the FBI's "The Profiler" catches another murderer. And Doe thought the only stuff like it on TV was "The X-Files", one of his old time favorites (and due back in Novemeber--boy he can't wait for the latest Scully-Mulder follies against "them".)

"Gee," he says to his wife, "this stuff kinda reminds me of that show they had on a couple of years ago about that young couple who were running from aliens and the CIA."

"You mean 'Dark Skies'?" she answers.

"Yeah, that's the one."

"But that's only TV, dear, you know, fiction? That's not real!"

"Yeah, well-uh, maybe it is real and they just don't want us to think it is, so they hide their plots in plain view. Know what I mean?"

The notion of "hiding" a conspiracy "in plain view" is expounded in Dr. Coleman's work The Conspirator's Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of 300,--one of the main bodies of the power elites out to take over the planet. It's members, by the way, control nearly all the media outlets. Further, it serves their own interest to convince folks that their conspiracies are only "fiction" by installing them on fictional TV shows--mostly science fiction, which, as thinking people know, is almost always based on knowledgable speculation or out-right fact extrapolated to a future time. For example: George Orwell's "1984" which, unless you live on a South Pacific atoll, is here, san telescreens; but everything else is in place--thought police, a.k.a hate crimes police (Southern Poverty Law Center, ADL etc.); Ministry of Truth (or Lies, that is, CNN and the rest of the Establishment media); inferior goods and services; a two-teered power elite and the rest of us "proles;" constant war, disease, education for The Almighty State, and, of course, Big Brother, the Liar-in-Chief. Come to think of it, since the FBI can theoretically tap into any phone-modem lines and monitor what you watch on TV, we do have telescreens, only it's not so obvious and they can be turned off.

So now let me do some of my own "speculation," that TV is "hiding" the plot to enslave us "in plain view" to anyone willing to accept the notion that TV might be used to expose it.

• First Wave: Sci-Fi Channel, Friday nights at 10 eastern, 9 central, part of "Sci-Fi Prime". Sebastian Somebody (can't think of his last name off hand) plays Cade Foster, a former small time bunko artist who loses his wife to "The Gua," aliens who have been on Earth for years and are experimenting on humans and are led by "the Assembly." The Gua frame him for his wife's murder, and now "the law", mostly humans, are after him. Due to his street smarts and cunning--and "Crazy Eddie," a computer nerd who runs a web site called "The Paranoid Times" and looks amazingly like a former friend of mine, Rick "Republic of Texas" McLaren--Foster manages to always scrape by and annihilate an alien or two along the way. In one recent episode, the Gua convinced a neighborhood that aliens were attacking them as Foster was on hand--with the purpose of guaging how humans would react in such a scenario, exposing their fears, hatreds, stereotypes, and other serious weaknesses. In the most recent episode (as of Oct. 6), Foster exposes a plot by a rock band's (Gua) manager to use mind-controlling sounds on teenagers (under the guise that the band was playing them) to get the teens to committ violence--with the help of the band's Gua drummer.
  

  There are other reasons I like this show--Foster is totally handsome, Crazy Eddie, and it reminds me of "The Fugitive," but the more I watch this show the more I think maybe The Gua is the New World Order Crowd and The Assembly is The Committee of 300. Just think of it--do we really need aliens to assault our society's foundations and freedoms? Do we need alien mind control when MK-Ultra and the like is sufficient?
  

• The X-Files: Fox, Sunday nights, 9 eastern, 8 central. Like it or not, this show has turned more people on to the notion that government is out to get us, and has gotten more of us thinking that "The Truth is Out There," not in space but "out there," in plain view if you can dig it. Forget the unbelievable nonsense Chris Carter deems to subject us to from time to time--it masquerades the fact that quite a bit of truth really is being exposed on the show. I know a few ex-govt. agents who can verify this.
  

• Dark Skies: Sci-Fi carries this former CBS show from time to time, and the creators of this jewel had to know something. Such as, on one of the final episodes, Robert F. Kennedy, who is trying to understand John Lowengard's claims that aliens are among us and have inhabited his wife, is about to investigate these claims when he is murdered. Whether or not RFK was going to investigate claims of Roswellian aliens among us or not, the fact remains that the show reinforced the claim that RFK (and JFK and MLK) were assasinated by "them", "the power elites," call them what you will. Another show almost exposed the plot that the Beatles, about to appear on Ed Sullivan, were in fact mind-controlled by those covering up the alien plots. Did the creators of the show perhaps read Coleman's book, which says The Beatles (and rock music in general) are part of a Tavistock plot to mind-control our youth?
  

• The Pretender: NBC, Sunday nights, 9 eastern, 8 central. Jarod--last name unknown, but probably not "Parker"--a kidnapped prisoner-of-mind-control by "The Center" (read: the Firm, a.k.a. the CIA?), has been chewed up and spit out by his tormentors, but not before he acquires the ability to assume the role of anyone in any occupation he chooses. The bad--and not-so-bad-guys--are always very close to catching him but never do, on his trek to find out who he really is. Of all the shows listed here this one is probably the closest to being universally believable. Aliens are not involved, and horror stories have even been published in the Establishment press about innocent children, some with esper ability and some not, being taken from families and used in CIA experiments. For instance, read the articles in this OmegaZine! about MK-Ultra: Mind Control Part 1 and Mind Control Part 2.
  

So now you know a few things: the editor of OmegaZine! also watches some TV, and just might be crazy out of her gourd. Like, it's only fiction!

Or is it?
