Your perceptions of the world ‘out there’ show up for you as a consequence of what’s going on with your ‘inner world.’ -Your thoughts, feelings and emotions…
What could a better way to manipulate both your outer and inner worlds than by controlling you through the use of deceptive language. -Not just to influence your perceptions through controlling your thoughts, feelings and emotions, but also by obscuring truth.
-Word games, the use of deceptive language is strategically used by the corporate sponsored mainstream media and governments to manipulate us in this way.
The net effect is an attempt to undermine our autonomy, ability to think critically, tear down democracy, as we lack informed consent.
Targeting
As a tactical manipulative means to an end, the language in politics and media slyly targets human needs, wants, desires or self-esteem, while also conditioning core beliefs to shape perception and behavior. Vulnerabilities, such as fear, are looked for to exploit. Another example is targeting used to create a false sense of belonging or unity with the masses…
The language
A number of you may already be well familiar with the use of language in media and politics for manipulating us through your knowledge of Orwell’s 1984. Remember “Orwellian Doublespeak?” And how about Orwellian euphemisms as a way of socially manipulating the masses…?
-As the saying goes, Orwell’s 1984 was not an instruction manual. It’s a warning, as the 1984 scenario is happening today.
Examples of word games and phrases used for psychological manipulation
Mainstream media and government programming using word games and phrases for manipulating us includes the following tactics:
Framing the controlling narrative
This, in effect, is a form of psychological manipulation whereby information; words or phrases are used to present a narrative designed to mold people’s perception to evoke certain emotions and biases in the rhetoric. Many of the masses are so deceived by this language, they fail to notice the hidden ulterior motives.
Here are just some of many examples.
For your safety. -A phrase often used in mainstream media and politics, used to “justify” increasing intricate mass surveillance, more control.
In the interests of national security. -An excuse to impose more restrictions, suppression of information they don’t want you to know about, or used to “justify” aggressive actions…
The economy is recovering. -Mere speculation, deliberate blind optimistic spin masquerading as factual.
Declaring a crisis. -An excuse to advance hidden agendas for power, profit and political gains, as dangerous policies are approved with urgency…
Pandemic. -A declared emergency designed to have a ‘knee-jerk’ reflex reaction on the fear-mongered masses, while framing a global health threat.
Cleaner energy. -Paints a deceptive picture. Policies are made to look good, but when looked into they are in actuality counterproductive.
Sustainable. -It’s funny, when I hear globalists, people in high places quote “sustainable development” I feel much distrust! -How about you?
Threatening our democracy. -A phrase aimed at dissenters. Often exaggerated, it’s used to unjustifiably silence dissenters.
Misinformation. -Another form of discrediting dissenters who have done valuable due diligent truth-revealing research, but have to be silenced.
Trust in the science. No, don’t! -This could be used in healthcare as a corporate greed-driven phrase using biased or falsified science supported by coercive governments threatening our health freedom and human rights.
We are all in this together. -This one’s used to bring about compliance. It’s an appeal to the masses. To make them feel they have a sense of belonging or unity.
Word games and phrases synonymous with sales and marketing
Furthering the lexicon of word games and phrases, many are synonymous with sales and marketing strategies, but it doesn’t stop there. To impact our psyches, sway behavior and perception, some of the language used comes from research into behavioral science, sociology, psychology and propaganda studies. -All used by marketers and governments for their tactical ends.
Examples include.
Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) -As with the sales and marketing pitch “hurry now while stocks last” this phrase has been used by for instances: Big Pharma to drive high sales volumes. During the C-19 heydays, people were queuing around streets and some even tried to push into the front queue so that they would get vaccinated before vaccine stocks ran out.
Governments use the urgently needed majority participation rhetoric to drive voters into voting… -In other words, if so many are going along with this, then why aren’t you?
“Experts” say that… -It’s exploitation through authority bias. “Expert” endorsements such as doctors, getting the masses to blindly accept something without question.
Emotional grooming. -We’ve seen how advertising evokes sentimentality, nostalgia and other plays on people’s emotions. Consider how governments use patriotic imagery…
Desensitizing. -The use of repetition in marketing is used for normalization. For example, high-price repetition creates desensitization.
Consider how governments and media frequently use repetition to get the masses desensitized to accept unpopular policies: Higher taxation or increasingly intrusive mass surveillance…
The effect
The language in these word games and phrases has the net effect of:
Stirring emotions, switching on survival instincts, inducing the want for safety, convenience, evoking a sense of belonging, alignment with others; hence the term “our patriotic duty or “moral imperative” -the language of popularism that often plays on self-esteem.
Harsh realities at play are minimized: Torture becomes “enhanced interrogation,” war aggression maiming and killing of innocent men, women and children is called “collateral damage,” mass surveillance is “bulk collection” -the list of euphemisms go on…
Another effect of the language is confusion to hide the truth. Like euphemisms, this alsocovers-up objectionable circumstances. Confusion may also stifle inquiry as many, in their state of confusion, might consider the subject in question too complicated to understand…
Another variation is the powerful manipulative tool of oversimplification. Be wary of phrases such as “all you need to know,” or “the truth is…” -The use of oversimplification covers-up the fact that things are not that simple…

Finally
Word games, the use of language in media and politics exists to suppress dissent, distort truth, bypass rational inquiry or undermine our ability to think for ourselves, while seriously threatening autonomy and democracy.
It is therefore necessary to discern: Recognize the language. Recognize where these words or phrases are coming from, how T.H.E.Y (The Hierarchy Enslaving You) are trying to hit us with their manipulative language so that you don’t become the effect of them.
Stay vigilant.
Stay free.
