WAG THE DOG, MAN BITES DOG, 911 & Reality TV

"Knowledge is inextricably linked to language. The less accurate words are, the less accurate the knowledge they impart; conversely, the more precise the language, the more precise the knowledge. In the war on terror, to acquire accurate knowledge — which is pivotal to victory — we need to begin with accurate language." - by Raymond Ibrahim

Considering the times we are in WAG THE DOG a 1997 film by Barry Levinson, starring Dustin Hoffman as Hollywood's Top Producer and Robert De Niro as the President's Spin Doctor and MAN BITES DOG (1992) directed by Rémy Belvaux & André Bonzel and starring Benoît Poelvoorde are two films to watch.
Although, WAG THE DOG (WTD) is an American film and MAN BITES DOG (MBD)is a Belgium mockumentary about a film crew that follows a serial killer, both films are a cinematic smashup of what is happening before our EYES WIDE SHUT.
In the last ten years, the spread of "reality TV" consequently reminds me of the double meanings, play on words, contradictions and down right lies of the George Bush II administration. For example "the war on terrorism", even the the definition on what is "torture" became obscure during his reign. We were told not to believe what our eyes actually saw. That building 7 didn't go down with control demolition. We were told to believe that water boarding wasn't torture. That the "PATRIOT ACT" was for our protection at the same time and
if we were true patriots we weren't suppose to question our loosing Habeas corpus as well as other constitutional rights. In other words if we were true Patriots we would give up our rights without question. Words became lies. We gave up alot after 911. As three towers fell, and the corporate front man George Bush read fairy tales to children, we became transfixed by a magic wand. We learned to trust not our own eyes but the eyes and mouths of our masters - our leaders. We were scared so we gave up many rights hypnotically. We did what we were told. Many didn't question the news footage or the fact that it was repeated over and over and over again like a hypnotist does to get one to fall deeper and deeper into a trance. Trauma does different things to different people. But I digress, getting back to the above mentioned films, they are packed with clues to our present reality. Although both films were made over ten years ago, both simulate the manufacturing of reality for private gain. In WAG THE DOG, the spin doctor needs to create a war to help a scandal laden president get re-elected. Can one see the similarity in the Bush Administration or any
president who needed a boost after suffering a blow to his popularity? War is big money for big corporations. Wars serve many purposes: population control, fluctuating changes in the stock market with put options and back room deals of metal prices, oil and other resources raise in value. Wars are a favorite pastime for a Eugenicist Necrophiliac Corporatist.
As we come to the 10th anniversary of 911, WAG THE DOG has new meaning and new depth.
With the rise in the voracity of "reality TV shows", revisiting the film MAN BITES DOG(MBD) it is very clear how we all participate in the deception. In MBD a film crew participates in the criminality of a killer. As they film him and his crimes, they become hypnotized by his violence and become killers themselves. We can watch shows like the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and envy the lifestyle that is "portrayed" not caring that most is staged. We can laugh vicariously and judge other people's mental issues. We spend our time being a voyeur to other people's madness or fake world to take our eyes off the reality of our own. But if the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills production and producers knew Taylor Armstrong was being abused and turned a blind eye, what does it say about them?
We are so busy getting caught up in the fantasy that our real world is suffering. We keep our eyes wide shut. There has been 3 unusual deaths labeled as suicides that seem like murders. Two by hanging, Russell Armstrong found in his underwear and socks and Rebecca Zahau (not a reality star on TV while alive) found naked, bound with her hands behind her back and something stuffed in her mouth as a gag. The San Diego Police in the ultimate wisdom labeled it a suicide. Another black comedy like MBD but unfortunately, Rebecca Zahau's death/murder is real not fake like the investigation. Russell Armstrong's business associate Alan Schram was found shot to death in his car outside his home. All three deaths seem suspicious in their own right. Was there a rush by the police and the coroner to pronounce
all three as suicides. Why the rush to judgement? What's the hurry? How many people commit suicide in their underwear or are able to tie their hands behind their back after stuffing their own mouth with a gag of clothing as in Zahau's case? All three stories of suicide seem fishy and conveniently wrapped up. Yes it is possible that all three committed suicide but there is also the possibility that they did not.
As long as our eyes are wide shut we won't know. 3 Deaths, 3 Buildings, 3 Sacrifices. Hitmen/women can make murder look like an accident or suicide. That is their job and they are PROFESSIONALS. Just as the spin doctors are professionals at cleaning up the messes of the people they protect, they can also hypnotize with false stories and images to get their agenda accepted. Rushing to judgement by accepting whatever someone else markets is not always wise and can bring about disastrous results for truth. In a world of "reality TV" where we are hypnotized by trauma and illusions, is it any wonder that Russell Armstrong's sacrifice/death was a ratings BOOM for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills just like a war is for an ailing President.

Dancing With The Stars Season 13 - How The Game is Played

Even though the first dancing episode of the new season has yet to happen, the game was already started a long time ago. Proving that the popular bread winning show for ABC (owned by Disney) as well as the multiple tiers of corporations, including entertainment and news outlets, magazines/newspapers, electronic media (blogs, internet sites and mobile devices), PR firms, talent agents, photographers, interviewers, hair/makeup, clothing designers and so many others who benefit from sticking their fingers in the “reality celebrity competition” ratings pie known as Dancing With The Stars, share a concerted effort in the success of the show.
Some events on the surface seem random but when looked at in a relative chronological order, a very interesting game reveals itself.
DWTS is BIG Business. Therefore, there are moves being played, for fun lets call them chess moves, that should be noted.
In July 2011, a story on TMZ said that DWTS’s producers were going after A-listers after season 12. As an incentive the stars could have more freedom and pick their own rehearsal schedules, costume choices and music selections.
Also in July via PopCrush, Lady Gaga announces collaboration with musical icon CHER with a song called ‘The Greatest Thing’. And according to TV Guide, the single and music video is due in September 2011. The song is targeted for the LGBT community.
After the media blitz that still is going from her daughter Kim Humphries’ wedding, Kris Jenner, matriarch of the money making megalithic Kardashians, announces that she will guest on two different morning talk shows. In a media coup, Jenner will co-host ‘The Talk’(on CBS) and on ‘The Today Show’ (NBC) in September. The news of Kris Jenner being on both shows broke about 7 days ago. CBS is owned by CBS Corp (Westinghouse Electric, Viacom). NBC is owned by Comcast Corp. ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ is on E! which is owned by NBC Universal.
A few days ago, Lady Gaga did a cross gender character on the Viacom owned 'VMAs'. According to most, it was a big fail since it was revealed she copied almost identically a character that Annie Lennox (formerly of Eurythmics) did during the 1984 Grammy Awards. Meanwhile Annie Lennox's manager is Simon Fuller of XIX Entertainment. Fuller also produces and is the creator of 'American Idol' as well as 'So You Think You Can Dance'. Lady Gaga's copycat antics although a failure to most, brings negative attention to her which she seems to derive pleasure and power from. Almost as some sick inside joke, the more people hate on Lady Gaga, the more successful she becomes like some kind of demon. I digress anyway, Gaga’s dragging up Annie Lennox’s “Sweet Dreams Are Made of These” performance in turns draws attention back to Annie Lennox and interest in her musical archives as well as what Lennox is doing presently. Very Clever chess move.
So let me sum up what all the above seemingly random acts become when one puts them down on the board.

Chaz Bono (originally daughter of Cher, now a man) activist for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community (LBGT) is partnered up with Lacey Schwimmer who has gotten implants, bleached her hair blonde, has had facial surgery and is also working on her career as a singer. What better way to get attention than to be paired with one of DWTS most controversial contestants. The longer Chaz Bono stays on the show the better. Cher who has a huge Gay following has a legion of fans. Combined with Lady Gaga’s twitter monsters, imagine the ratings checkmate when Cher appears on DWTS and if or shall I say when she performs with Gaga.
The conservatives will hate on Chaz, which in turn will only bring more attention to the show. It is a win/win for DWTS executives.
As for Rob Kardashian if the kid can dance, it will be a gold mine.

Knowing the mastermind of manager mother Kris Jenner, if I were her, I would have been making Rob take dance lessons by the age of four. With Kris being a host on two major network talk shows, she has a forum to promote her son and all her family's endeavors. Kris Jenner is a very savvy business person. Her family is a Corporation.
The above game reminds me of CAA (Creative Artists Agency) when it was run by Mike Ovitz. He figured out quite brilliantly that if you have the top directors, the top writers, top actresses/actors, the top musical acts and the top composers, when a film or TV show gets made, you have Your Team in the highest positions. Therefore you are getting a cut from the back end as well as the front while you are also getting numerous percentages on a production. That is how the ultimate chess game is played and won. As well as orchestrating the machine that runs the money. You are the wizard behind the curtain pulling the strings on the short term goals and profits as well as long term future residuals off the present day pursuits.
The last couple of years DWTS has had several conservative celebs like
Bristol Palin and Tom Delay that drew huge controversy. It seems only fitting that now they go to the other swing of the pendulum with Chaz. Chaz Bono is the "King" of the Show. Let’s hope he can dance.
