The Pretense of the Profit Motive

The problem with the average citizen's conception of economics as a career, a praxeology or as a scientific discipline, is the basic assumption that the profit motive is the primary force in all of mankind's endeavors. In free, semi-free and even semi-controlled market economies, the profit motive is certainly the dominant paradigm, and a useful means of measuring primary motivations for actions of both individuals and disembodied, abstract entities and organizations engaged in all of the economic activities of our society.

In other words, for any John Doe citizen who is a small business owner whom spends years honing his craft and providing his commercial services to his fellow citizens to make a profit to afford the lifestyle he wants to accustom himself to, the profit motive is pure. He knows that in the world of small business and intimate communities, reputation and word-of-mouth is everything, and doing his best to create symbiotic relationships that profits both himself and his community of customers and fellow citizens at the same time are the ultimate expression of mutual benefaction that is the supposed hallmark of "free market capitalism."

But the days of small businesses and individual entrepreneurship serving as the primary engine of the nations economic activities are no longer relevant to the current state of USA Inc. Here in "The Land of the Free," in 2017, while we the sheeple operate on the basic premise of the Profit Motive as the engine of productivity, wealth and health of our communities, the large Corporations, Non-Profits, Tax-Haven Foundations, Government departments and branches and PAC loobyist groups that make up the concentric rings of our cartel-controlled markets at the local, national and international levels, care not one whit for "making a profit."

Profit$ are chump change.

The people who control our Brave New World Order are the shareholders of the multi-national corporations that control almost everything bought and sold in the world today. These are they that call all the shots. And one of the primary corporations that they control is the Central Usury Cartel that controls the central banking systems in most of the world.

In other words, all the fabulously wealthy elites that own the shares in all the corporations (only 147 entities control nearly 40 percent of all of monetary value of transnational corporations in the world,) could give a shit about making "Profits." Profits is an idea for the proles to consume themselves with so that we don't notice the ever increasing and burdensome controls being implemented in a gradual but escalating pace.

They have usurped and deceived we the sheeple into accepting the take over of our economies, governments and institutions through their fiat usury schemes aka "money creation" power. In other words, do you really think T.H.E.Y. give a shit about profit, when these are they who have the power to create as much "money" as they need at any time? Profit$ are for pikers. The real prize is control...total population control. With their power to "print" as much money as they'd like, they use it quite liberally to achieve this goal of total population control.

Wonder no more at the propaganda studio lots seeking to Poz the world with Californication and Celebridolatry, churning out infotainment programming with social justice themes and narratives that consistently lose money hand over fist.

The producers in charge of a never ending stream of box office bombs, tell-a-vision series cancellations, print media circulation drops and downsized publishing houses haven't made genuine profits in a decade or more.. They don't need to nor do they seem to really even want to. Their primary function is not to make profits, but to manufacture consensus, control the narrative and pacify the populace to get we the sheeple to fall in line and to think and behave how they want us to.

One of the more obvious examples we can point to to make the case that profits is not their primary (or even secondary) motive, is teh Pr0n industry in USA Inc. If you look into the economics of the industry, you'll find it almost impossible to find real, concrete statistics on revenues and profits of the industry in recent years. After clicking through a few of the Infogalactic pages footnotes, I still couldn't find any references to hard numbers on the financial state of teh Pr0n industry since at least 2004. Twelve years ago, the investigative journalists at ABC published this estimate in their report, Porn Profits: Corporate America's Secret -

It is hard to estimate how much money these corporations derive from porn because they do not publicize it in their portfolios or anywhere else. Their financial statements do not mention profits from adult movies. However, one industry analyst estimated that the combination of cable and satellite outlets makes about $1 billion a year from the adult-movie market.

Four years ago, Sam Spencer at the Covenant Eyes blog tried to find more recent information on the industry:

So what about now, in 2012? Very little research has been done recently into the size of the pornography industry. For instance, a 2012 Time article quoted an estimate by the Adult Video Network done several years ago for the U.S. online adult entertainment industry at $2.8 billion. Note that this does not indicate what exactly was included in the study, only noting that it was the “online” adult entertainment industry.

Keeping these studies in mind and the massive amount of free internet pornography available, let’s conservatively estimate the U.S. pornography industry at around $8 billion.

While 2012 no doubt had massive amounts of free pornography available on teh Interwebz, it's nowhere near like it is now in 2016. Now that teh Pr0n is abundant, ubiquitous and free for all, how is it still generating $800 of profit a year, let alone $8 billion?

At least with the music industry, we saw the market for album sales disappear and royalty payments for artists dry up in a few short years in the face of file sharing/P2P piracy, but the music acts were able to reconfigure their business models and resume making money by touring -- and charging crazy high concert ticket prices -- at ages when they should be consigned to retirement homes or in-house hospice care.

 Where is the parallel reconfiguration of teh Pr0n industry's business model to stay afloat and maximize their profit motive?

A Canadian Business article from 2012 noted:

As big of a headache as freely distributed content is for the music and movie businesses, it’s even worse for adult entertainment because Web surfers have no compulsions about getting the stuff without paying for it. The traditional-sector profiteers are hurting too thanks to the Internet, smartphones and iPads—with people bringing their own porn, hotel chains are pulling x-rated movies from their in-room entertainment options.

So four years later, with hotel chains and satellite and cable tell-a-vision content no longer realizing profits from teh Pr0n, how is it still being mass produced and distributed for free consumption? It's quite obvious to this whackaloon conspiritard, that teh Pr0n is a mindweapon of mass distraction and social engineering to emasculate and spread sexual dysfunction amongst we the sheeple.

While teh Pr0n "industry" is one of the more obvious examples, another one that needs to seriously be considered is social media - especially the NSA prime data harvesting app, FaceBorg. Are we really supposed to believe that ad revenues are the primary purpose for the existence of this company and the "services" they provide? Oh wait, they're supposed to be collecting and collating user info to sell to international marketing companies, right? Right?!?!?

Or YouTube? Or even AdSense on blogger? We are supposed to believe clickbait ads or quick vids that everyone clicks through as soon as it allows you to, covers the costs of the truly massive storage space requirements for YouTube, let alone make a profit?

I'm not buying it.

Systemic Gaslighting PsyOps

Have you heard of the so-called "Mandela Effect?" It's a trending meme on teh Interwebz and it's making many folks apparently question reality and their grasp of sanity.

When I searched for "Mandela Effect" on Infogalactic, I got automatically redirected to the page entitled Confabulation.

In psychiatry, confabulation (verb: confabulate) is a memory disturbance, defined as the production of fabricated, distorted or misinterpreted memories about oneself or the world, without the conscious intention to deceive.^[1] Individuals who confabulate present incorrect memories ranging from "subtle alterations to bizarre fabrications",^[2] and are generally very confident about their recollections, despite contradictory evidence.^[3]

Given the lack of any content of the Discussion page for the entry, I suspected the content and the auto-redirect of my search terms originates with Wikipedia's propaganda information control psyops before Infogalactic forked it. So I did the exact same search at Wikipedia and sure enough, on the Talk page, I found the following:

I returned to Wikipedia to post my rejection to Wikipedia rewriting the definition of the term "Mandela Effect" to replace the meaning of the term with a critical explanation for it. I discovered that the page has been removed altogether and that the term now brings one to this article, which doesn't even mention the term in it at all (yet this page is linked by the term.)  - Neurolanis (talk) 10:05, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Having only quickly skimmed over the topic after briefly encountering it while surfing through the fever swamps of my favorite haunts on the lunatic fringes of teh Interwebz, I decided to try and figure out what exactly this is all about.

So I consulted with Googliath and followed the Dopes Snopes link to see what the officially sanctioned, coordinated narrative on the topic is supposed to be:

The Berenstain/Berenstein Bears
No single example of the Mandela Effect has generated more online buzz than that of the children's book series and animated TV show The Berenstain Bears. Quite a few people who grew up with the series, it turns out, remember the title being The Berenstein Bears, with the name ending in "ein" instead of "ain" (with some even going to go so far as to maintain that the fictional bears' surname was changed along the way to make it "less Jewish"):
A page on Broome's web site cites a number of testimonials:

I too clearly remember it as ‘Berenstein’ even though I never read the books. Why would anyone change that? Seems irrelevant.

Does anyone remember the Berenstein Bears? I do. Although somewhere along the line the name has changed to the Berenstain Bears. No record of “stein” which is definitely how it was when i was younger. No question about it.

I would like to say that I VERY CLEARLY remember “Berenstain Bears” being Berenstein Bears. I very specifically remember it being pronounced “STEIN” on the show.

Didn't it used to be the Berenstein Bears? Now, suddenly it's the Berenstain bears? Is this some sort of anti-semitic cover-up? Or have those of us who grew up in the 1980's been misinformed, misread, and mispronounced?

Clearly, something of interest is going on here, but what? How to explain the fact that many different people can share the same false memory? This, unfortunately, is where much of the Internet discussion on the topic veers into woo-woo territory.

The consensus has been manufactured and T.H.E.Y. have spoken. So let it be written re-written, so let it be done. If you clearly and distinctly remember the Berenstein Bears as I do, you must certainly be confabulating.

Certainly it can't be an organized CONSPIRACY THEORY for the Government-Corporation-Foundation-NGO-Banking Cartel Industrial Complex and their useful idiot status whores and establishment cucks to collectively gaslight we the sheeple and make us think we are all losing our minds!

Snopes goes on to reference the more popular misformed disinformation memes that have been propagated to explain it all...the "woo-woo territory" that Snopes references involves ideas like parallel universes and virtual realities. It's a whole new world of conspiracy theory for us Whackaloon Conspiritards to 'sperg on!

 

According to the top Google search results, Wikipedia, Snopes, and the top meme's found on a Google image search, it has ALWAYS BEEN The Berenstain Bears, and the only scientifically approved explanation for why you and I and so many other people remember it differently is mass mistaken memory!

If you think there's something fishy going on here, and you distinctly remember otherwise, why you're just singing Looney Tunes...or is that Looney Toons?

Never mind the fact that in almost every case of research you do into "The Mandela Effect" involves fungible consumer products, sheeple feed, movies and Tell-a-vision shows....all of which are owned, copyrighted, marketed, distributed and/or printed, published or broadcast by entities that are interconnected into the Worldwide corporate control grid.

And all those folks involved in keeping the current system going...T.H.E.Y. couldn't possibly have a good motive for attempting to manipulate our minds like this, right?

Or is it some renegade transmissions from a parallel universe or glitches in our matrix computer simulation reality that's plaguing us with all this FakeNews our betters are working so hard to distract protect us from?

Fake News Fever Dreams

Serious comedy...or comedically serious? We report, you deride.

The consensus has been manufactured and the narrative has been coordinated worldwide. The talking heads on the tell-a-vision and the commissars that produce our digital print media have told us what to think about Pizzagate, and to even consider thinking otherwise or looking any further into the topic means we are raving whackaloon conspiritards suffering from alt-right fever dreams about fake news.

The fifth column in the fourth estate has spoken.

DON'T READ ANYTHING FOR YOURSELF.

DON'T WASTE TIME WITH FAKE NEWS.

WE HAVE TOLD YOU ALL THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW. 

PLEASE RESUME YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING:

 

 

Real Fake Weapons of Mass Distraction

Besides real fake newsmen on real fake news Infotainment comedy shows telling us what to think, former First Lady, Senator, Secretary of State and twice-failed Presidential candidate (isn't that the perfect capstone to her credentials!) also served we the sheeple fair warning:

“The epidemic of malicious fake news and false propaganda that flooded social media over the past year — it’s now clear the so-called fake news can have real-world consequences,”

While we may find Infotainment comedian RealNews^TM anchors on cable tell-a-vision networks, having an apoplectic fit about the fake news problem rather humorous and entertaining, Hillary's warning should be taken far more seriously. After all, she has quite the track record of former associates who experienced the type of real-world consequences she threatens warns us about.

"After all, in places like Haiti, she’s taken a number of them!"

I really wish this was all nothing but a bad Alt-Right fever dream. But once one is WOKE to the world as it is, there really is no going back.

So we trust what we see and go with our gut instincts when assessing the overwhelming circumstantial evidence in not just this case, but in the many other cases in the past that have similarities to the current scandal. Check out this bit of Fake News reported by former Head of the FBI in Memphis, Dallas and Los Angeles, Ted Gunderson:

So pay attention folks, when you find the time to take a break from your daily dose of 21st Century panem et circenses, only trust the RealNews^TM to give you the straight dope on the current events of the day.

Afterall, as Agnostic over at Face to Face points out, you can only trust those reputable sources like the NewYorkTimes, WashingtonPost and ABC, they'll give you the RealNewsTM and protect you from the increasingly dangerous fake news!

First, in late November the AP reported on a major pedophile ring in Norway being busted, leading to dozens of arrests, including two politicians. This report was picked up by the NYT, WaPo, and ABC, among others. All three major media groups have removed the story from their sites and archives, while it is still up on the AP's own site. See here and in the comments.

A more thorough report from The Independent, UK, mentions that it was a tip by the FBI that led Norwegian authorities to launch their attack. Again we see that the FBI, at least the rank and file, are the good guys among the feds. The CIA are globalist traitors.

The major media have suddenly decided to censor this story because they don't want Americans to have a broader pattern already in their minds, which the PizzaGate revelations could fit neatly into. You aren't supposed to have in the back of your mind a news item about a pedo ring being busted that involved several politicians. Otherwise you might be more accepting of the inevitable reports that John and Tony Podesta from Clinton world are involved in some kind of pedo ring.

Desperately trying to erase this story two weeks after the fact, and on a weekend when hopefully nobody would notice, just shows that there is some seriously damning stuff going on here.

Of course, we've been living in a fever dream of fake news in a fake world for our entire lives, and for the first time, we are possibly seeing the one glitch in the matrix that has the possibility of blowing the entire mass deception wide open.
