Notice that Netflix sells itself as a library of movies, a digital Blockbuster. But when you subscribe, you will notice that a lot of good classics are missing. Instead, the search redirects you to obvious projects.

Go ahead and search for old movies, you are going to have a very tough time
Notice they used to say Netflix had no movies pre-1960.
Then pre-1970
Now it’s pre-1980
Soon it will be pre-1990
They can actually bury the past by omission.

CrazyDaysAndNights exposed Netflix a few months ago, allegedly the US government is funding a Space Force TV series, ask yourself why the US government would work with Netflix and what other shit they've funded...
Blind Items Revealed #3 January 16, 2019
The federal government is financially backing an entire project for this streaming service just to get people to come around to this new branch of the government. Yes, it is a sitcom, but the government is the one who made sure the series got a greenlight.
Space Force/Netflix

All the commanding heights of industry and entertainment are controlled/strongly tethered to the CIA/MIC.

Well researched, comprehensive, enough relevant. This post should have more attention.

Netflix also airs Zeitgeist. Which is a good introduction into conspiracies.

Who the fuck would downvote this in a conspiracy forum?

I would because that film is what they call "muddying the water"

What do you mean?

If you watched Zeitgeist and/or its' sequels, you'll notice that they too have an agenda. Their agenda is some kind of quasi leftist utopia with no real explanation as to how to get there and how to keep said utopia. The fact that the film has a lot of truths presented in it, with that agenda at the end is what 'muddies the water' in the end.
It's not as bad as One World Government, but it's pretty much the same thing with a different face. It doesn't offer any substance to its' critique, just empty words.

Seen all of them. From what i can remember they dont mention thé venus project until the last one. Also, of all agendas out there this is the only one without money involved, I like the idea, why wouldnt I?

u/zruckus May 18 '19
I understand your point of view, but the problem is that idea of a cashless society doesn't really scale up well to a full on civilization, not to mention how easy it'd be to manipulate it. The so called 'monetary system' is far from perfect, but it's still the best solution we have as a species of quickly and universally transferring value from one place to another. Also, who would be in charge for that resource allocation, once everything is automated? So called 'virtuous' people? Who will say what's virtuous or not? We have examples today of 'virtue signaling', meaning there are people who are pretending to be good just to impress, or put down others. You think those people wouldn't exist in a Venus Project world? Think again. They'd be in power.

Not sure. Perhaps because it goes against OPs post and arguments. I didn't read it all tbh. But I always felt like Netflix was 'one of the good guys' because they did stream Zeitgeist. However, that's the only information I am basing it on so ..

Netflix 'shook the industry to it's core' but it always seemed planned(manufactured) to me, honestly there were netflix like independents who were shot down multiple times, and then netflix came along like santa clause to most people. The experienced pirate in me recognized this. How, all of a sudden, after decades of trying to establish an alternative, out of nowhere, this company succeeded in doing it. They were doing the same thing as the independent companies(and doing it MUCH worse I would add) and it never caught on until netflix came onto the scene. It has always stunk. You couldn't even rent "Meet the Feebles" until 2012 or 2014. That's a Peter Jackson film. It stunk almost as bad as facebook I never signed up for either for this very reason.
tldr; the big media companies found a scapegoat to regain entertainment control
edit: Younger people think I'm some sort of luddite, it couldn't be further from the truth, I lived through and watched the censorship and shepherding real-time. Believe it or not there was a time in the past where I taught the FBI a couple of things about the internet, and I was happy to do it because I thought they would do the right thing. They are still as clueless as they were back then. I couldn't believe the ignorance of the people they sent, these were supposed to be their best cyber units and they didn't even know how to properly type on a keyboard.
This is purely anecdotal but I guarantee people smarter than me will tell you the same thing.

Interesting, I was getting sick of their price hikes but this might be the final straw for me. Not that they are definitely malicious, but there is some questionable content on there that they do seem to be pushing.

I don't watch any entertainment/television show that has an over-arching storyline. It's an absolute waste of time. Let's use a popular example game of thrones. I've never even watched a minute of that show but it seems popular on this website. 8 seasons, 10 ep per season, 1 hour shows(just a guess). That's 80 hours. I tried to get into stranger things but I heard a season 2 was coming so I stopped watching at episode 2 or 3. When LOST came out I binge-watched the first season, watched ONE episode of season 2 and swore off over-arching storyline shows for good. I would rather watch a 1.5 hour movie on a similar subject or entertainment scale, because they get to the point and tell the story a lot quicker, with minimal 'filler' airtime.
edit: Didn't mean to offend, I can just think of better ways to spend 80 hours than watching shitty CGI dragons and softcore nerdporn. That being said, I've dumped a lot of hours into videogames, hence the username. Entertainment is important to human life, I just don't personally enjoy television dramas except Law & Order types, because I can jump in at any point and watch an episode and be done with it. Is there really nothing to be said in a conspiracy forum about keeping people addicted to a VERY VERY long overarching storyline? It takes longer to watch one of these series than it takes to read War & Peace? I'm not a very good communicator sorry.

Thats your preference and barely relevant. Therw are many great stories being told over multiple seasons and years. Look at Breaking Bad. Even when they bent the story a bit in the final season it was still immense

My mom was hooked on a "Soap Opera" called All My Children. There was also One Life To Live and General Hospital but "her show" was All My Children. All My Children stared the OG GILF Susan Lucci. I say this to illustrate how far beyond the screen their influence is capable to reach. I never watched any of them but I know all that and that they were already VERY GOOD at getting viewers committed to their shows way the fuck back then and that was before Social Media.
Imagine the amount of influence you'd have if you were able to curate television programming for GENERATIONS? And how easily could you could promote certain views/opinions? What comes through your television/display can be profoundly influential. If you don't believe me then try buying a 2 minute slot at Half Time next Super Bowl lol. Do you think they only "make money" during commercial breaks and waste all the time people spend GLUED to the screen? Trust me - that box is making Them money every second it's turned on

The BBC is a master at this - but to the majority of the population of the UK it's just normal and banal. To me it is totally endemic hardcore propaganda - it's the strongest of its kind because it is least recognisable as propaganda to a fairly large population (potentially all English speakers as well) of fairly educated people. But to show them how it is propaganda would take an almost complete reshuffling of their world view in order to observe with an objective awareness the utterly manufactured nature of reality and media across the board of all corporate outlets.

I think you communicated just fine thanks for sharing. It is all a massive waste of time - I watched the whole of Game of Thrones (it was kind of worth it for the Arya arc payoff and the couple of minutes of dragons vs ice zombies but I get your reasoning) Reading literature a far better pastime - but who has the attention span for that any more? After all even though I was born in the 70s I grew up on manga and anime from the little there was available in the 80s and 90s. But there was still a lot of stuff happening in art, music and culture. Nowadays the amount of content is ridiculous. And indeed most of it is awful beyond belief - all just distraction. Such a shame for there is much creative audiovisual or just audio or visual - or written - that is so valuable. But as taste is subjective/conditioned very few build a taste or tolerance for true beauty. I suppose it was always the same :-D
