Media psyop and the use of 'inversion'

With all the crazy media manipulation going on right now I thought it might be interesting to highlight some of the subtle but effective areas of mind control the MSM are engaging in and hopefully get some of your big hitters added here.

For me the use of inversion is coming up again and again in the way stories are spun to fit a narrative.

Let’s just remind ourselves of what an inversion means as I always think in terms of music theory but it applies across many disciplines.

Quoting from the OE definition.

“the act of changing the position or order of something to its opposite, or of turning something into a position in which the top of it is where the bottom of it normally is”

So this is interesting to me because a simple concept like this can have profound implications downstream when applied to, for example, a narrative disseminated by media organisations.

Just like in music, the chord is fundamentally the same but is rearranged and can give the impression of being a new harmonic entity, however it is merely an inversion.

That is not to say it is false, or is it?

So if you find yourself reading a story and finding it almost plausible but somehow suspect perhaps inversion is at play, and what better application of this logic toggle than AI, a wolf in a sheep’s clothing with a deep sense of what to toggle and when.

Thank you @ShadowNet Inversion is the word I was looking for in the post “Did NATO promise Russia never to expand to the east?” It certain does seem like a sort of inversion.

How To Create A “Super-Duped” Controllable Class

Step 1: Start a Dis-information Do-Loop:
. Get a story banned from public broadcasting
. Make it available on You Tube
. Dupe the Truth-Seekers into thinking it’s true, because it was banned on MSM.

Step 2: Rinse and repeat.
. Get a story banned on Internet/Social media
. Switch to making it available on public broacasting/MSM
. Dupe the Truth-Seekers into thinking it’s true, because it was banned on Internet/Social Media

In the end, you can only rely on your own knowledge, experience, intuition, and ability to deploy critical thought. That being said, I find there are certain telltale signs of propaganda or red flags that tend to make it more likely something is a psyop. A few examples, in the form of questions:

  • Is it an expression that’s continually repeated, like a mantra, by the official media, politicians, and other authority figures? (E.g., “safe and effective,” “climate change,” “the deadly virus,” “conspiracy theorists,” “the insurrection,” “far-right [something-or-other]”, “diversity,” “equity,” “inclusion”…)

  • Is it something that seems to have come out of nowhere but is suddenly being talked about everywhere? (E.g., cryptocurrencies back when, “the novel coronavirus”)

  • If it weren’t on the news – if a random person told it to you – would it seem ridiculous on its face? (E.g., “those UFOs were swamp gas,” “Chinese balloons are floating across America and spying on us,” “a paper passport came out of an exploding airplane and fell in nearly a straight line to the ground, without being harmed”)

  • Is debate on the subject forbidden by official sources? (E.g. “the science is settled”)

A sudden highly focused media spotlight on a fringe group like extinction rebellion or BLM?

Also the use of triptychs,

See it, say it, sort it…

Orwellian outsourcing of state surveillance to the public.

Yes, to all the above… Good point about triptychs. In the U.S., we have the old “If you see something, say something.” That one isn’t a triptych, but the propagandists definitely make a lot of use of those short, silly-sounding but easy-to-remember phrases.

I read something somewhere about the advertising industry originally being formed by military strategists. It makes some kind of sense now.
