"It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.

1. The dummy denies that film is used for propaganda purposes - says it's merely "entertainment"
2. Evidence is presented to establish the fact that films are routinely used for propaganda by Babylon...and the dummy is unable to refute it
3. Dummy claims he views movies only for entertainment. Very reasonable position as that's why folks consume movies. Folks don't say or think "I'm going to a movie to receive propaganda"
4. Dummy doesn't realize that while he is being entertained he is subconsciously assimilating propaganda messages embedded in the film. Perhaps dummy believes that propaganda is accompanied by a banner so he'll be able to be warned it's in progress
5. It is the ultimate dummy who doesn't recognize when he is being programmed - Even when it is established by research which dummy cannot refute.
6. Dummy is unaware of the phenomenon called supraliminal messaging and its shaping of human perception of reality. Dummy is unaware that film is the most powerful carrier of such messages
7. This is the reason propaganda embedded in entertainment is super effective - and the reason dummies remain...well.. dummiesLast edited by Don1; July 3, 2019, 01:19 PM.TIVOLI: THE DESTRUCTION OF JAMAICA'S EVIL EMPIRE
