I've read some theories on this and some people I know seem convinced we are being brainwashed through everything including The X Factor... Umm, aibu to think it is an unfounded theory?

Yes. Tulisa's funny salute is a signal to unleash the forces of New Zion.

BoobleBeep · 29/11/2011 16:44

Apparently we are all brainwashed...

I find this deeply unsettling on a number of levels, firstly that people are so absolutely paranoid that they could believe it, or secondly that we (dum dum daaa) could actually be brain washed, uggh the mind boggles!

Anyone who has read "When the Tipods Came" will know that "they" can easily take control of us all via the televisions!

SinicalSal · 29/11/2011 16:46

No, the Illuminati is just a front

Guys, please explain, I'm not down with the lingo

I don't see any need in believing in a whole extra level of "control". There's enough gits, useless gits, self-absorbed gits, self-interested gits, etc to explain the way things are. Cockup theory and self-interest of those with any power or influence are quite enough to deal with!

We're fed "bread and circuses" and aren''t smart enough to notice and complain. It doesn't take a secret world-order to do it Sad

My ex-boss truly believed in all this. He reckoned the royal family were one of the illuminati families, that feminism and homosexuality had been invented by the illuminati under the influence of the devil in order to weaken western patriarchal society (which he said was God's desired plan)...

Aliens are demons in disguise...

Velcro and the internet were invented by said demons (as if humans are not smart enough to come up with those!)...

Jesus had appeared to him, in the back seat of his car and again behind him on the stairs, and he was now one of the chosen few... Nothing to do with having been a junkie at the time, obviously.

I find reality enough to cope with, thank you!

There's no doubt we're influenced by propaganda (the WWs proved that) and subliminal messaging (just look what Derren Brown can do with it), but whether this is an globally organised effort to some ends is the issue.

But one thing's for sure, if you're wealthy and have every material posession you could possibly imagine, there's nothing more seductive than the acquisition of power.

Thats what they want you to think....

BerryLellow · 29/11/2011 17:44

There was a thread about this a while back, apparently beyonce is trying to brainwash us all.

BoobleBeep · 29/11/2011 18:51

Ha! Thought as much.. has anyone got a link to the thread?

slavetofilofax · 29/11/2011 21:26

This is why I don't watch Derran Brown. All this talk of brainwashing is scary.

It could happen you know! Shock

AgentZigzag · 29/11/2011 21:38

I've been to see Derren Brown a couple of times slave, and nothing happened to me.

Although I must point out what an all round good egg Derren is, everyone should buy any products he has for sale and go to see him wherever he's performing, in fact just send all your money to him, he deserves it all...

Eh? Confused

candytuft63 · 29/11/2011 21:38

VELCRO ?

never heard of that one
however have heard about that eye on the dollar note
its not the illuminati
the freemasons are at the bottom of it all Wink

BoobleBeep · 29/11/2011 21:54

But what I don't get is that I always imagine the free masons to be quite right wing, elitist white male orientated. The new world order is meant to be a communist movement, right?
