Subliminal Messages Ch 3 News

[Moonrakers]

14th is my birthday, that must be why they are coming.

I hope they don't expect me to be up for anal probing.

[GrahamF]

I dont really know what to believe but check out to see what happens on the 14th, it might all be crap but maybe not hey...no doubt theyll be fascinated with Thailand and Soi cowboy

And within a year, they'll be posting on TV, complaining how their wives ripped them off, etc,etc.

Solved. Thanks James.

So there you go. It is an image of a formation of lights in the sky, or what would appear to be a a V ufo formation. So there is an agenda of some sort internationally to condition people to seeing images like this?

Well well.

So before yu all ridicule the post, watch the news and see the image. Then ask who and why?

Read up on Project Bluebook ans Von Braun the nazi rocket scienctist, as well as Parsons, the founder of JPL.

Then some of this crazy stuff might make sense.

I did warn you it was going to be an interesting topic..........

Blossom, is that you?

Yes, but they will most likely have death rays. When Immigration Somchai says, "Solly Khun Globglitz, Venusians only get a thirty day tourist stamp. You have stayed 42 days, so you must pay the immigr.. ZAP!

Ooooh, maybe they'll have Universal Translators as well. Then I'd know what all those naughty girls are saying about me and my friends when they speak Thai, Lao, Khmer, etc. We'd have to keep them a secret though.

" I'm sorry Zorg. The amount of 400000 baht must be in a Thai bank account for 3 light years before the date of application not 2. No, Alpha Centurian Zargles are not acceptable. Thai baht only. I know it's a crummy exchange rate but that's how it goes. Now, your photos. I need at least 6 pictures of you and your wife. Sitting together on the bridge of the Mothership, standing in front of the matter transporter, fighting off space pirates, invading a planet, that sort of thing...."

[DMC1]

The OP is talking BS. Why doesn't he just record the news and then pause it at the right moment to expose this dastardly act of mind control?

That is assuming he has something to record it with.

And to capture a millisecond, and to pause it on a millisecond you need some bloody good equipment and knowledge !

Well, yes and no, the home video system capable of delivering a thousand frames a second is still, let's say, in the planning stage.

Most deliver 24, 25 or 30 FPS (but 30 is usually on HDTV only, that lets Channel 3 out then)

The human eye brain combination is capable of registering an image that lasts for only one twenty fourth of a second, if it is ready for it and concentrating.... that's how subliminal messaging works, most of the time you aren't looking for it but it still registers, when you are looking for it, it can be seen but it is too fast to get the entire image in one go, but your brain remembers and adds as it goes along.

But, yes you are right, you need a device that is capable of frame by frame playback.... I had a Sony VCR ten years ago that could do that, settled some Sharon Stone arguments I can tell you.

But who records from TV these days?

//edit/added the word home.

so could you see her muff then? shaven, hairy, beef curtains ??

Well they better know who and when to wai, or they'll look like right &lt;deleted&gt;.

[geriatrickid]

Ok, so if I get this right, we are going to be invaded or visited by aliens on October 14.

I checked with the modern Mr. Peabody, Google and it advises that some peroxide blonde named Blossom Goodchild says the aliens are coming on that date. Don't know why they picked her, but I guess she had a nice trailer park.. It's about time that they showed up, since they were supposed to be here on October 14, 2008. They must have hit an traffic jam on the way here. That's the trouble with all those Klingons and Romulans scurrying about.

She looks like the kind of woman I'd run away from.

BTW, here's some background on this internet hoax http://www.paranorma...redictions-fail

And I predict this thread will soon be since hoaxes violate the forum rules.

(Now I am wondering why I started reading my wife's copy of Dreamcatcher the other day)

Best post here, immigration are probably busy getting paperwork really.

l don't see why the OP found it strange here in Thailand, when they love fortune tellers, believe in Ghosts, look for numbers with the bones of the returned remains of the deceased scatter on the ground for the lottery. etc etc.

Here's something else boring :-

In 1991, Baldwin and others in two studies questioned whether priming individuals with images flashed for an instant may affect experiences of self. In the first study, images were flashed of the scowling face of their faculty adviser or an approving face of another before graduate students evaluated their own research ideas. In the second study, participants who were Catholic were asked to evaluate themselves after being flashed a disapproving face of the Pope or another unfamiliar face. In both studies the self-ratings were lower after the presentation of a disapproving face with personal significance, however in the second study there was no effect if the disapproving face were unfamiliar.^[5]

In 1992, Krosnick and others, in two studies with 162 undergraduates, demonstrated that attitudes can develop without being aware of its antecedents. Individuals viewed nine slides of people performing familiar daily activities after being exposed to either an emotionally positive scene, such as a romantic couple or kittens, or an emotionally negative scene, such as a werewolf or a dead body between each slide. After exposure from which the individuals consciously perceived as a flash of light, the participants gave more positive personality traits to those people whose slides were associated with a emotionally positive scene and vice-versa. Despite the statistical difference, the subliminal messages had less of an impact on judgment than the slide's inherent level of physical attractiveness.^[6] In order to determine whether these images affect an individual's evaluation of novel stimuli, a study was conducted in 1993 which produced in similar results.^[7]

In 1998, Bar and Biederman questioned whether an image flashed briefly would prime an individual's response. An image was flashed for 47 milliseconds and then a mask would interrupt the processing. Following the first presentation only one in seven individuals could identify the image, while after the second presentation, 15 to 20 minutes later, one in three could identify the image.^[8]

In 2004, in two studies 13 white individuals were exposed to either white or black faces, flashed either subliminally for 30 milliseconds or supraliminally for over half a second. Individuals showed greater fusiform gyrus and amygdala response to black faces than white, suggesting that the great amount of facial processing may be associated with a greater emotional response.^[9]

In a 2005 study, individuals were exposed to a subliminal image flashed for 16.7 milliseconds that could signal a potential threat and again with a supraliminal image flashed for half a second. Individuals showed greater amygdala activity, although the right amygdala showed greater response to subliminal fear and the left amygdala showed greater response to supraliminal fear. Furthermore supraliminal fear showed more sustained cortical activity, suggesting that subliminal fear may not entail conscious surveillance while supraliminal fear entails higher-order processing.^[10]

In 2007, it was shown that subliminal exposure to the Israeli flag had a moderating effect on the political opinions and voting behaviors of Israeli volunteers. This effect was not present when a jumbled picture of the flag was subliminally shown.^[11]

[edit] Audio

<DIV class="thumb tright"><DIV style="WIDTH: 227px" class=thumbinner> <DIV class=thumbcaption><DIV class=magnify>Coca-Cola" and "Hungry? Eat popcorn" for 1/3000 of a second at five-second intervals. Vicary asserted that during the test, sales of popcorn and Coke in that New Jersey theater increased 57.8% and 18.1% respectively.^[20][23]</P>However, in 1962 Vicary admitted to lying about the experiment and falsifying the results, the story itself being a marketing ploy.^[24][25] An identical experiment conducted by Dr. Henry Link showed no increase in cola or popcorn sales.^[23] A trip to Fort Lee, where the first experiment was alleged to have taken place, would have shown straight away that the small cinema there couldn't possibly have had 45,699 visitors through its doors in the space of six weeks. This has led people to believe that Vicary actually did not conduct his experiment at all.^[23]

However, before Vicary's confession, his claims were promoted in Vance Packard's book The Hidden Persuaders,^[26] and led to a public outcry, and to many conspiracy theories of governments and cults using the technique to their advantage.^[27] The practice of subliminal advertising was subsequently banned in the United Kingdom and Australia,^[21] and by American networks and the National Association of Broadcasters in 1958.^[23]

But in 1958, Vicary conducted a television test in which he flashed the message "telephone now" hundreds of times during a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation program, and found no noticeable increase in telephone calls.^[20]

[edit] 1970–2000

In 1973, commercials in the United States and Canada for the game Hūsker Dū? flashed the message "Get it".^[26] During the same year, Wilson Bryan Key's book Subliminal Seduction claimed that subliminal techniques were widely used in advertising.^[23] Public concern was sufficient to cause the FCC to hold hearings in 1974. The hearings resulted in an FCC policy statement stating that subliminal advertising was "contrary to the public interest" and "intended to be deceptive".^[23] Subliminal advertising was also banned in Canada following the broadcasting of Hūsker Dū? ads there.^[20]

The December 16, 1973 episode of Columbo titled "Double Exposure", is based on subliminal messaging: it is used by the murderer, Dr. Bart Keppler, a motivational research specialist, played by Robert Culp, to lure his victim out of his seat during the viewing of a promotional film and by Lt. Columbo to bring Keppler back to the crime scene and incriminate him. Lt. Columbo is shown how subliminal cuts work in a scene mirroring James Vicary's experiment.^[28][29]

In 1978, Wichita, Kansas TV station KAKE-TV received special permission from the police to place a subliminal message in a report on the BTK Killer (Bind, Torture, Kill) in an effort to get him to turn himself in. The subliminal message included the text "Now call the chief", as well as a pair of glasses. The glasses were included because when BTK murdered Nancy Fox, there was a pair of glasses lying upside down on her dresser; police felt that seeing the glasses might stir up remorse in the killer. The attempt was unsuccessful, and police reported no increased volume of calls afterward.^[30]

A study conducted by the United Nations concluded that "the cultural implications of subliminal indoctrination is a major threat to human rights throughout the world".^[31]

Campaigners have suggested subliminal messages appear in music. In 1985, two young men, James Vance and Raymond Belknap, attempted suicide. At the time of the shootings, Belknap died instantly. Vance was severely injured and survived. Their families were convinced it was because of a British rock band, Judas Priest. The families claimed subliminal messages told listeners to "do it" in the song "Better by You, Better Than Me". The case was taken to court and the families sought more than US$6 million in damages. The judge, Jerry Carr Whitehead said that freedom of speech protections would not apply to subliminal messages. He said he was not convinced the hidden messages actually existed on the album, but left the argument to attorneys.^[32] The suit was eventually dismissed. In turn, he ruled it probably would not have been perceived without the "power of suggestion" or the young men would not have done it unless they really intended to.^[33]

In 1985, Dr. Joe Stuessy testified to the United States Senate at the Parents Music Resource Center hearings that:

“The message of a piece of heavy metal music may also be covert or subliminal. Sometimes subaudible tracks are mixed in underneath other, louder tracks. These are heard by the subconscious but not the conscious mind. Sometimes the messages are audible but are backwards, called backmasking. There is disagreement among experts regarding the effectiveness of subliminals. We need more research on that.^[34]”Stuessy's written testimony stated that:

“Some messages are presented to the listener backwards. While listening to a normal forward message (usually nonsensical), one is simultaneously being treated to a back-wards message. Some experts believe that while the conscious mind is trying to absorb the forward lyric, the subconscious is working overtime to decipher the backwards message.^[35]”A few months after Judas Priest's acquittal, Michael Waller, the son of a Georgia minister, shot himself in the head while supposedly listening to Ozzy Osbourne's song "Suicide Solution" (despite the fact that the song "Suicide Solution" was not on the record [Ozzy Osbourne's Speak Of The Devil] found playing in his room when his suicide was discovered). His parents claimed that subliminal messages may have influenced his actions. The judge in that trial granted the summary judgment because the plaintiffs could not show that there was any subliminal material on the record. He noted, however, that if the plaintiffs had shown that subliminal content was present, the messages would not have received protection under the First Amendment because subliminal messages are, in principle, false, misleading or extremely limited in their social value (Waller v. Osbourne 1991). Justice Whitehead's ruling in the Judas Priest trial was cited to support his position.^[36]

[edit] 2000–present

During the 2000 U.S. presidential campaign, a television ad campaigning for Republican candidate George W. Bush showed words (and parts thereof) scaling from the foreground to the background on a television screen. When the word BUREAUCRATS flashed on the screen, one frame showed only the last part, RATS.^[37][38] The FCC looked into the matter,^[39] but no penalties were ever assessed in the case.^{[citation needed]}

A McDonald's logo appeared for one frame during the Food Network's Iron Chef America series on January 27, 2007, leading to claims that this was an instance of subliminal advertising. The Food Network replied that it was simply a glitch.^[40]

On November 7, 2007, Network Ten Australia's broadcast of the ARIA Awards was called out for using subliminal advertising in an exposé by the Media Watch program on the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation).^[41][42]

In February 2007, it was discovered that 87 Konami slot machines in Ontario (OLG) casinos displayed a brief winning hand image before the game would begin. Government officials worried that the image subliminally persuaded gamblers to continue gambling; the company claimed that the image was a coding error. The machines were removed pending a fix by Konami.^[43]

In 2007, to mark the 50th anniversary of James Vicary's original experiment, it was recreated at the International Brand Marketing Conference MARKA 2007. As part of the "Hypnosis, subconscious triggers and branding" presentation 1,400 delegates watched part of the opening credits of the film Picnic that was used in the original experiment. They were exposed to 30 subliminal cuts over a 90-second period. When asked to choose one of two fictional brands, Delta and Theta, 81% of the delegates picked the brand suggested by the subliminal cuts, Delta.^[44] Although, Delta is also a real brand.

Historically, Ferrari's Formula One cars sported a barcode design that was criticized for subliminally evoking the logo of sponsor company Marlboro, flouting a ban on tobacco advertising.^[45] The design was removed in response in 2010.^[46]

Penske Racing sports a livery design on a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race car that subliminally evokes the logo of sponsor company Verizon, which is prohibited under that series' prohibition of wireless advertising.
