GOP USES MEDIA PROPAGANDA TO MISLEAD ON OBAMACARE = MORE LIES AND HYPE

GOP = WAS FOR IT = ROMNEY-HERITAGE CARE

—- BEFORE —-

GOP = WAS AGAINST IT = ROMNEY-HERITAGE-OBAMA CARE

GOP = LIVES OFF BRIBES FROM TRILLION CRlMlNAL SCAMS THEY SPONSOR IN HEALTH CARE 

GOP LOSES AGAIN FOR 50th TIME = Supreme Court dismisses challenge to Obamacare mandate – Dec 2, 2013

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/12/02/1259610/-SCOTUS-won-t-hear-challenge-to-Obamacare-nbsp-mandate?

The real Problem in Health Care is OVERCHARGING FRAUD in ALL FACETS of HEALTH CARE!  

The USA system Overcharges nearly DOUBLE the cost of the second highest Nation!

The ACA helps resolve only the Insurance Scam and only to a small extent by creating competitive Markets to stop Monopoly Pricing and reduces Insurance Overcharging.

That still leaves Hospitals, Providers, and Big Pharma Overcharging Scams nearly untouched!

GOP = 32 YEARS OF PERPETUAL HEALTH CARE SCAMS ROBBING THE MIDDLE CLASS – Since Reagan!

GOP-FOX BASEMENT SQUAD ON HIGH ALERT WITH THEIR EXAGGERATIONS AND LIES!

GOP = PROPAGANDA COLLECTION AND THEN MEDIA DISTRIBUTION!

“PROPAGANDA is the executive arm of the invisible government.”

  — Edward L. Bernays, PROPAGANDA (1928) p. 48

GOP = SKIMS AND SCAMS THE MIDDLE CLASS!

GOP = SPENDS ALL THEIR TIME PROTECTING SCAMS IN HEALTH CARE = SAD END TO GOP!

GOP = HEALTH CARE MISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN!

THE GOP MISINFORMATION PROGRAM IS HERE WITH DOZENS OF GOPers Spreading EXAGGERATIONS AND LIES!

GOP = Constructed long-term Conservative campaigns to change Public’s Views.

NYT  = finally began Reporting on GOP EFFORT TO DESTROY OBAMACARE Nov 21 by Jonathan Weisman and Sheryl Gay Stolberg.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/21/us/politics/gop-maps-out-waves-of-attacks-over-health-law.html?_r=0

Times reported on the House GOPs’ memo on how to attack the ObamaCare through a “multilayered sequence assault.”

SOURCE:   http://www.huffingtonpost.com/george-lakoff/the-new-york-times-uncove_b_4339256.html

GOP = PROPAGANDA COLLECTION AND MEDIA DISTRIBUTION!

GOP = GAHERS FAKED STORIES “through social media letters from (GOP) constituents (LIARS)”

The Times reported on the “closed door” (OBAMACARE) strategy sessions, going back to last year.

GOP = “Far deeper and systematic efforts by conservatives extending back four decades and the nature of the underlying general ideology covering dozens of issues that have been served by these efforts.”

 — George Layoff, Distinguished Professor of Cognitive Science and Linguistics at the University of California at Berkeley.

GOP = Attack on ObamaCare = Attempt to change the idea of what America is about.

GOP TOOLS AND METHODS FOR 4 DECADES:

1. GOP Think tanks like HERITAGE = The PROPAGANDA PROS that FRAME LIES

2. GOP PROPAGANDA Training institutes and MEDIA booking agencies

3. Wednesday morning meetings on both national and state levels = Role of ALEC

Source: Lewis Powell memo 40 years = Seamless system to change Americans’ brains

Powell describes Chamber of Commerce strategy for the corporate takeover of the dominant public institutions of American society. 

Historian Kim Phillips-Fein describes how Powell’s Memo INSPIRED THE TOOLS FOR CORPORATE TAKEOVER OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT by creating these devices: 


The Business Roundtable (1972)

American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC – 1973)

Heritage Foundation (1973)

Cato Institute (1977)

Manhattan Institute (1978)

Citizens for a Sound Economy (1984) = Now Americans for Prosperity

Accuracy in Academe (1985)

Powell memo created a major shift in American business culture, political power and law, marking the beginning of the business community’s multi-decade collective takeover of the most important institutions of public opinion and democratic decision-making.

NYT = FRONT PAGE “White House Memo” by John Harwood Sunday, Nov 24, 2013 

NYT Published this CONSERVATIVE CNBC OPINION PIECE AS IF IT WERE FACT BASED NEWS?

NYT Harwood = COMPLETELY MISSES THE REAL SCAMS IN HEALTH CARE = MASSIVE OVERCHARGING FRAUD IN EVERY ASPECT OF HEALH CARE!

NYT Harwood = Instead ignores that and focuses on the rather MINOR GOP TALKING POINTS = Arguing Wealth Redistribution!

Harwood’s piece is an artful cognitive linguistic Conservative attack on the White House using BS Redistribution to coverup MASSIVE CORPORATE FRAUD!

Harwood framed the public discourse with his propaganda piece = “System 1 thinking” to win over the public in adopting CORPORATE CONSERVATIVE values.

Values trump mere facts presented without the values that make them meaningful. 

 

Progressives must learn Honest values-based framing and state their real believed values clearly with facts = The opposite of PROPAGANDA AND SPIN.

Framing issues metaphorically impacts on unconscious thought of the People.  This is not generally understood by Progressives who assumes that all thought is conscious, fact-based, logical, and literal. 

Conservatives have successfully reframed economic terms to fit their values in public discourse.  TRICKLE DOWN FOR EXAMPLE!

Progressives are usually not trained in this kind of logic; Frame-based logic or metaphorical logic, frame semantics, cognitive linguistics = the real brain mechanism that allows the conservative communication theory to be effective.

Conservatives frame language to fit conservative values so they dominate public debate by changing the public’s unconscious brains:

Activate a frame circuit in the brain = strengthens future activation to become eventually permanent by using using KEY WORDS for conservative values.

Progressives naively use Conservatively reframed words that strengthen the conservative value system in the brains of the public.

Liberals think all they have to do is state the facts and the public will be convinced rationally.  But while facts are crucial they must be framed in moral terms to make moral sense and a moral impact.

Liberals must stop using conservative framing words.

In NYT front page John Harwood used manipulative Conservative KEY WORDS and a smattering of facts to purposefully misleading the public = “redistribution” = moral issue.

Conservatives believe = “Using my money to pay for someone else” is unfair 

Conservatives believe = the Redistribution word is IMMORAL for 40+ Years

Conservatives = Use the word “redistribution” to activates the conservative framing for sympathy in their cause.

Liberals use of the word “redistribution” activates the conservative frame and helps the conservative crusade to undermine progressive values 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Conservative and Liberals have TWO different moral views of democracy.

Liberal idea = Founding Human Rights = citizens care about other citizens and through government provides public resources for all = Life, liberty, Freedom, and the pursuit of happiness requires roads, bridges, public education, hospitals, a patent office, a national bank, a justice system, controlling the flow of interstate commerce + NOW internet, satellite communications, the power grid, food safety monitoring, government research, and health care = public resources citizens cannot live reasonable lives without or their lives would be in jeopardy.

Conservatives believe democracy = the “liberty” to pursue their own interests without the government regulating and standing in their way or helping them (BUT 98% OF WELFARE GOES TO CORPORATIONS AND THE RICH).

Conservatives believe = If you can’t afford health care then DIE = No one deserves help

Conservatives believe = Individual responsibility and NO social responsibility.

Conservatives believe = Health care is product like a flat-screen TV. 

Liberal idea of democracy = the flow of wealth should guarantee the affordability of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and that includes health care as a basic moral principle.  Fairness in the flow of wealth = Fair Wages and Salaries including enough to guarantee adequate health care. 

Conservative frame for redistribution = Take money the Workers earned and “redistribute” to the no-work slackers

Liberals believe = productivity has risen greatly while salaries have not – And neither has the minimum wage.

Conservatives believe = Make it on your own or FAIL AND DIE

Conservatives believe = Public resources making you weak = No incentives to work = Public resources make the workers pay for the slackers. 

Liberals believe = Pensions are delayed payments of wages for work already done, and taking away pensions is theft. 

Conservatives believe in low wage slave labor to exploit for wealth building for the few.

Liberals believe = Employment is the purchase of labor by an employer with a negotiated price for the labor and in many cases Unions are necessary for labor to have a voice in those negotiations.

Conservatives believe = Money previously made was made properly and honestly despite mountains of evidence of MASSIVE CORPORATE FRAUD!

Liberals believe = Most of the wealth in the past decades has flowed to the 1% mostly to the O.OOOO13% or 425 Billionaires.

Conservatives believe = Tax money for public resources is “redistribution.”

Liberals believe = Wealth redistribution to the 1% violates the most fundamental of American principles.

Liberals believe = Obamacare moves toward reform toward a moral protection of the founding principles

Conservatives believe = all public resources should be banned = CLOSE GOVERNMENT

LIBERAL DEFINED

“If by a “Liberal” they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a “Liberal,” then I’m proud to say I’m a ‘Liberal.’”

 — President JFK

GOP = Hates the New America – browner, younger, and more liberal.

“We told them the wealth would ‘TRICKLE DOWN'” – GOP THOUGHT THAT WAS A REAL LAFFER!

Capitalism’s ‘trickle-down’ economics is a failed ideology

The POPE: “Some people continue to defend trickle-down theories which assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world. This opinion, which has never been confirmed by the facts, expresses a crude and naive trust in the goodness of those wielding economic power and in the sacralized workings of the prevailing economic system. Meanwhile, the excluded are still waiting. … The culture of prosperity deadens us; we are thrilled if the market offers us something new to purchase. In the meantime all those lives stunted for lack of opportunity seem a mere spectacle; they fail to move us.”

THE OLD 1980‘s BILLlONAlRE TRlCKLE DOWN BULL CHlOT! TRICKLE is a LlE!

“More fundamentally, Mr. McCONNELL’s stand puts the LlE to the Republican pretense that its new monetarist and (TRlCKLE DOWN) supply-side doctrines are rooted in its traditional financial philosophy. Republicans used to believe that prosperity depended upon the regular balancing of accounts — in GOVERNMENT, in INTERNATlONAL trade, on the ledgers of central banks and in the financial affairs of private households and businesses, too. But the new catechism, as practiced by Republican policymakers for decades now, has amounted to little more than MONEY printing and deficit finance — robed in the ideological vestments of the PROSPEROUS classes.”

 — DAVlD STOCKMAN (R) Reagan Director of Management and Budget and author Four DEFORMATlONS of the APOCALYPSE 7-31-10

“There is income inequality in America. There always has been and hopefully, and I do say that, there always will be. Why? Because people rise to different levels of success based on what they contribute to SOClETY and to the marketplace and that’s as it should be. We shouldn’t have a SOClETY that has a President who envies or creates class warfare or envy between one group of people and another. We should celebrate like we do in the small towns all across American as you do here in Detroit. You celebrate success. You build statues and monuments. Buildings, you name after them. Why? Because in their greatness and innovation, yes, they created wealth, but they created wealth for everybody else. And that’s a good thing, not something to be condemned in America.”

 — RlCK Santorum (R) singing the praises of TRICKLE DOWN income inequality

“The rich are always going to say that, you know, just give us more MONEY and we’ll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you. But that has not worked the last 1O years, and I hope the American public is catching on.”

 — Warren Buffett 

PENT UP DEMAND IS AT THE BOTTOM – NO THE TOP!

Ryan’s Budget Plan is “TOTALLY antithetical to either scripture or sanity. This idea that giving more tax cuts will create jobs — it hasn’t been true for the last 1O years and it won’t be true now. Really the way to create or stimulate this economy is by shifting MONEY to where there’s pent-up demand. … And where there’s pent-up demand is not at the top, it’s at the bottom.”

— Sister Simone Campbell, executive director of Network, a CATHOLlC SOClAL justice Iobby

“TRICKLE DOWN THEORY: The less than elegant metaphor, that if one feeds the horse enough oats, some will pass thru’ onto the road, for the sparrows.”

— J.K.Galbraith 19O8-2OO6 American Economist.

“Super Rich solidifies absolute POWER over our political system

That Supreme Court decision legalized political bribery. Now, billions pass through LOBBYlSTS to politicians with one goal: A promise that politicians vote for their special lnterests. Our middle class is in a rapid trickle-down into third-WORLD status. The inequality gap steadily widens….Democracy is systemically CORRUPT by MONEY.”

— Paul Farrell, Market Watch 

“Now, anybody who thinks that we can move this economy forward with just a few folks at the top doing well, hoping that it’s going to trickle down to working people who are running faster and faster just to keep up, you’ll never see it.”

— President Obama (2OO8-2O16)
