The WORDS WE USE to SAY things HAVE A SUBTLE but Undeniably POWERFUL effect on how SPEECH is heard & interpreted by the listener - JUST ASK ANY Linguistics expert. A good Example of this theory was shown in:- A recent article I was reading recently in the LA Times which addressed the question of “Whether HISTORICALLY Democratic JEWS Were NOW Turning to Trump.” - The author casually mentions AS A GIVEN FACT, the “increase in antisemitism of the VIOLENT ANTI- Israel PROTESTS “. A statement loaded with disputed claims…The author is SUBTLY CHOOSING his WORDS carefully- to PROMOTE the readers to BELIVE falsely, that the PURPOSE of PROTESTS is to express hatred of Jews, encourage “antisemitic “ thought & that protests are ANTI- ISRAEL. ( THE ACTUAL PURPOSE of Protests is to OPPOSE KILLING TODDLERS IN GAZA).- OR the choice of the WORDS “violent protest “ to AS A GIVEN FACT, to promote the subtle benefits that that all PROTESTS ARE VIOLENT? (a Harvard Study confirmed that last spring’s 3000 days of PROTESTS all over America WERE almost universally, (with a few minor exceptions ) VIOLENT FOR PROTESTERS ONLY- because of police & COUNTER-PROTESTERS ).These manipulative press tactics are why I STOP READING any article or listening TO ANY TV SHOW or Podcast that refers to Protests as “ ANTI- ISRAEL PROTESTS “vs. “PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS “- the authors of these articles either doesn’t UNDERSTAND the TRUE ISSUE THAT IS BEING PROTESTED- “the IMMORAL KILLING of children with OUR TAX DOLLARS”- or - is trying to MISLEAD or RE-DIRECT public DISCOURSE & opinion by claiming the REAL ISSUE is discrimination AGAINST JEWS. -IF discrimination against Jews WERE the TRUE goal of PROTESTS-WHY would Democrats (Who pride themselves on championing HUMAN RIGHTS & ARE AGAINST ALL FORMS OF DISCRIMINATION ) SO OBVIOUSLY OUTWEIGH Republicans in making up the democratic representation in MOST of protests?- There were no protests at the RNC that I saw…I, as MANY protesters, VEHEMENTLY WISH THAT THIS GENOCIDE were being perpetrated by ANY OTHER MORE POLITICALLY acceptable PERPETRATOR OTHER THAN ISRAEL!- BUT-We have NO CONTROL over the FACT that Genocide is being committed BY a country that HAPPENS TO BE primarily JEWISH.- THINK of how much easier IT WOULD BE FOR EVERYONE to join IN in OPPOSING an enemy like RUSSIA for senselessly SLAUGHTERING toddlers or KILLING ITS OWN HOSTAGES inadvertently in the process…A great example of the TRUISM THAT… While It is EASY to criticize your ENEMIES , it is SO MUCH HARDER to criticize your FRIENDS for their immoral actions …Another POWERFUL way of controlling public opinion is what “VOICE “ the author speaks in (passive vs. active) when DESCRIBING CONDUCT. Almost ALL POLITICIANS (KAMALA included-just listen to the WORDS SHE USES) and MAINSTREAM MEDIA, will refer to the “ killing” or “horrific slaughter” of Israeli victims (using the ACTIVE voice to describe a bad act) vs the “horrific deaths or loss of life HAPPENING in Gaza “( PASSIVE VOICE-implying that people ARE DROPPING OFF DEAD ON THEIR OWN instead of being ACTIVELY KILLED BY the IDF with OUR TAX DOLLARS.) It’s a clever way of DE-EMPHASIZING ISRAELI wrongdoings & US COMPLICITY…. Just THINK CRITICALLY whenever you HEAR SPEECH, read an article or watch the news…. You will realize that YOUR THOUGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY BEING MANIPULATED subtly by the WORD Choice used.Speaking of READING the news, I was reading a DISTURBING STORY on -TRUMP’S ENCOURAGEMENT of DISSENT among DEMOCRATS- through his use of MEDIA MANIPULATION to ENCOURAGE feelings of ALIENATION WITH THE DEMOCRATS UNDECIDED VOTERS & ENCOURAGE them to vote FOR a 3rd Party candidate to dilute KAMALA’s SUPPORT. I DON’T KNOW if that’s TRUE but I do KNOW that I have BEEN SEEING a lot MORE ADS like the one shown BELOW 👇 in my political site….(the woman in the picture is Jill Stein, a 3rd party candidate who has JUST chosen a Muslim running mate fyi)…
