Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television: The Effects of Watching TV – Mother Earth News
How Television Dims the Mind When you are watching television and believe you are looking at pictures, …
I have come to think of the television as a Portal bringing darkness and evil into people's homes and lives. When you try to tell them that they will be happier and feel better if they stop watching the News, they simply won't believe it. It's everyone's civic duty to watch the News, right?
Who-ho ho.., the news that in itself is something else altogether, given that most of it is fake and follows the narrative of the elites /prevailing current thing. I read or heard something about Goebbels setting the flicker rate on the TV for max hypnotic effect, and to use subliminal messaging to effect, will need to look into that side see what can dig up.

Who-ho ho.., the news that in itself is something else altogether, given that most of it is fake and follows the narrative of the elites /prevailing current thing. I read or heard something about Goebbels setting the flicker rate on the TV for max hypnotic effect, and to use subliminal messaging to effect, will need to look into that side see what can dig up. If you have ever tried getting your family off this flicker box, it is addictive, that is quite a battle I do believe you will have on your hands. It has taken over most households.

"And so it is with television. When you are watching, absorbing techno-guru, your mind may be in alpha, but it is certainly not “empty mind.” Images are pouring into it. Your mind is not quiet or calm or empty. It may be nearer to dead, or zombie-ized. It is occupied. No renewal can come from this condition. For renewal, the mind would have to be at rest, or once rested, it would have to be seeking new kinds of stimulation, new exercise. Television offers neither rest nor stimulation.
Television inhibits your ability to think, but it does not lead to freedom of mind, relaxation or renewal. It leads to a more exhausted mind. You may have time out from prior obsessive thought patterns, but that’s as far as television goes. The mind is never empty, the mind is filled. What’s worse, it is filled with someone else’s obsessive thoughts and images.
In this way, television serves to continue the same channeled mental processes from which one is seeking relief. The mind is as weary after watching as before. No invention or creation can result, only sleep, if you are lucky, as with the aftermath of alcohol and Valium." - Jerry Mander
