[kj] Gathering Digest, Vol 150, Issue 26

[kevin]

Neil, I think the basic theory with the Tavistock Institute `Conspiracy theories` is that the media is now continually bombarding the general public with more and more small regular `shocks` so that the general public become more
or less punchdrunk and desensitised so they end up just not giving a fuck about anything and hence the powers that
be can steamroller ahead with massive changes to society and the average joe will just not even care.
Bombarding people with Breaking News and ALERTS about things they have no control over. Also a lot of people believe that many news stories-ie-beheadings- are simply staged events. Peruse youtube at your leisure to see what I mean.
Jaz mentios in his book how he was round Jazz Summers flat- which happened to be opposite the Tavistock institute in
Swiss Cottage and he was playing the song `Future Shock` and when it got to the line `You can ask my friends from the
Tavistock` they suddenly became aware of a commotion outside and they looked out and saw that a fire had just started in the Tavistock Institute.
He also mentioned in the lecture he did in London recently that he and Nigel kennedy used to shout out from the window
to the workers there, taking the piss, saying `We know what your doing!`
