Cast a Spell 🧙

December 5, 2023 Josef Pazderka

The word "spell" comes from the word spelling. Casting spells means: Creating a sequence of words (sentences) that will affect people's brains.

When you are casting a spell, you are trying to change the mass population's view on something through the use of words.

In other words...

casting a spell means creating propaganda. 🧙‍♀️

Propaganda

There are different types of propaganda, not just government propaganda.

Whenever you have a product that you are trying to sell. You first have the intention to sell this product. Second, you have to come up with an idea of how to propagate this product.

Today the best way to reach your potential customers is to create content that can be distributed through media.

Which means creating a propaganda piece that will represent your product well and that will influence the people engaging with your propaganda. Influence them to have an idea to purchase your product.

The vast majority of propaganda that you will see on a daily basis are ads trying to sell you some fcking garbage that you don't need. Even thought we talk about government propaganda a lot it is not nearly as common as the other types of propaganda.

That is just simply because there is a lot and a lot of different corporations that have humongous marketing budgets compared to governments whose propaganda budgets tend to be less significant.

Just for the record, one of the other typical propaganda pieces is CV...

It is technically a personal type of propaganda where you are trying to sell yourself on the job market. You are trying to propagate yourself in front of the eyes of a potential employer.

Legacy Media

...is dying 😅

or is it??

Let's talk about it, shall we?? xddddddd

Have you ever heard the saying "Time is money"

Well... attention is just time that you pay to a particular thing.

You can PAY attention to a book you are reading. You can pay attention to your kids while playing hide and seek, or you can pay attention to your scroll feed while your brain is slowly melting until it melts completely and starts bleeding out of your ears.

Or maybe even you can pay attention to the breathtaking information written in a wise unfiltered BLOG, that you are glad you have found on the internet... 😅

regardless...

The possibilities are endless.

That is also my point.

Today there are more and more options when it comes to spending your time. Before the internet, cable news and newspapers had almost a monopoly on the information that gets delivered to you.

Today there is way way more completion for your attention and if the old-school legacy media wants to stay in business they have to adapt to the online ecosystem.

P.S. Of course let's not forget that some of the most influential people today started as journalists for the legacy media like Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger or...

poet, intellectual, journalist...

and the worlds greatest moderator Jason Calacanis xdddddddddd 😅

Landing pages

If you want someone to stop mindlessly scrolling on social media and instead you want them to read your online magazine. You have to come up with a good enough hook that will steal their attention away from whatever they are doing and make them start paying attention to your article. In marketing, we call this first web page or first article that the person sees...

"landing page"

There are different types of landing pages for different audiences. If the person is clicking on a paid ad, the landing page must be quick to the point because the visitor's patience is very small. If you compare it to an organic post. People tend to spend more time after clicking on an organic post rather than on a paid one.

(Time spent alone doesn't mean that you have to feel lonely. =Big diff)

Targeted audience

For example, beauty products and make-ups are for women. If you want to round ads for beauty stores, the audience you will target with your ads will be women almost up to 96.30% 😅

You can ofc argue that the gay community and drag community buy makeup too, but the vast majority of beauty products sold are sold to women so...

If you are selling beauty products, you better know your customers. You better speak the same marketing language otherwise they will buy beauty products from someone else.

In the same way, social media like TikTok, Snapchat, and Bereal are known for having younger audiences, the legacy media tend to have older generations as their major audience.

Introducing the "loneliness epidemic" type of articles...

Imagine for a second that you are running an online magazine. You know that your magazine is mostly read by older generations. You need as many eyeballs on your website as possible to make as much money as possible.

We as human beings are hard-wired to respond stronger to negative emotions rather than positive ones. That is why all of the videos and articles have "Armageddon" in their title.

"Nuclear war in 7 seconds? You dead or dead??"

"Everyone will die in 2012. Watch this video or die."

"The end is near, the Mayen calendar ends in 2012."

(If your prophecies of total destruction don't work out. Try a decade later?? 😅)

P.S. The truth is that no one knows what the future holds for us. So people throughout history thought that the end is near all the time.

Kinda like we do... 😅

People use these headlines because all of these doomsday titles have a much higher click through rate. It is actually part of true awakening to try to choose every day the positive emotions over the negative ones. That includes NOT paying attention to the constant endless stream of "last day on earth" type of distractions.

Back to being a CEO of an online magazine...

Now if you know all of this. And you know that you need to make money by making as many people as possible read your online magazine. Wouldn't you write articles like...

"Loneliness is the number one killer in America"

"Be lonely. Be dead."

"Loneliness epidemic. You lonely?? You dead !! "

I can imagine these types of articles would do really well on for example Facebook where the demographic is a little bit older now, so it hits all the right criteria to go viral. (These types of articles are probably not optimized for Google searches. They are most like created for social media as a landing page)

The truth is that we all feel lonely sometimes. You can be young at a party surrounded by your classmates and you could feel so lonely like you have never felt before or you can be hiking alone in the woods and feel in the best company ever because you are surrounded by feelings of happiness...

and unconditional love ❤️

Loneliness is part of the human experience that we all signed up for. We all have to deal with a variety of emotions. Good and bad.

(P.S. It is true that people as they age report spending more time alone but especially in Europe people also report increased levels of happiness as they age.

It is mainly because of lower levels of stress reported. Also because kids usually left the house. They are less worried. They have way more free time for their hobbies. etc etc.

People as they age stop caring about materialistic achievements as much. They start to look more towards family, community, and overall more meaningful experiences.

It could be just an intentional or an unintentional misunderstanding of the data. It all depends on how you ask the questions of the participants and also how you then interpret the data collected.

Politicians intentionally misinterpret the data in order to support their own narratives. Happens all the time.

It is a cute little tactic in the world of politics that I only truly understood when I worked in the statistical office.

One of our Czech politicians once famously said...

"I do not believe any data from polls unless I fabricate them myself."

what a fcking legend... 😅)

Don't get me wrong, the "loneliness is the end of the world" type of article might as well be just the front end (landing page) of a funnel for some new antidepressant pills or some weight loss sugar pills (mostly placebo)

We don't know...

We can never tell the intentions and motives behind these articles because...

#ProtectTheBoomers

Btw... almost all of the images here were created by AI... !!!!!!!!!!!

this is cool tho

(P.S. Shout out to Playground.com)

P.P.S. As the AI is getting harder and harder to recognize the content that is starting to win on socials is a more raw type of content.

Now for real.

The generation this and generation that. That is all just another cute way how to divide us. The technology is advancing fast for all of us. Doesn't matter if you are old or young. It is hard to keep up for all of us.

Ask any programmer. (Do this step only if their social battery is fully charged xddddddddd) Any programmer will tell you that by the time they graduated, the technology has advanced enough that the information that they learned in UNI was already outdated. Etc Etc...

When the first ever movie came out. It was a train leaving a station and it was only like few minutes long. When they first aired it for the first time in the theater, people would run away from the theater thinking that a train was about to hit them.

One day that will be you. One day you will be part of the older generation and everything will seem new and too many technologies and stuff... 😅

Or maybe it is you already now.

My point is that instead of creating division between us we should have empathy for each other and we should try to help each other navigate the world that we are all co-creating together ❤️

Government's propaganda

Governments use propaganda to maintain control over the mass population.

For example, every time Palestinians die, the mainstream media calls it "civilian casualties." Because tourists can be civilians. Anyone other than the person in uniform is considered a civilian.

Mainstream media is trying to cast a spell on us. 🧙

Every time I write about Palestinians I try to use words like "citizens" or "country of Palestine." So that everyone knows that the land belongs to them!

Behavior control

If you are very skillful at casting spells and changing people's perceptions about things, you can try to change their behavior too. You can try to stop people from questioning the authority.

Also... Some evil entities (demons) will try to implement ideas into people's brains to act crazy, so that they can come and suck out the energy that flows through people's chakras.

That is also a kind of behavior control. (More on that later.)

Intentions

Behind every propaganda, you have to find the real intention first, and then you will easily understand what the creator of the propaganda piece wanted you to do or think.

Every single day you see propaganda. Every single day you see ads from corporations trying to make you buy their products. You can see the propaganda (ADS) on TV, on social media, and in your newspaper, basically everywhere.

The product makery people... 😅

The corps. that creates and make the products have a motivation to always sell more products. So they create ads with intentions. The intention behind the propaganda (AD) is to make people buy more of the product.

Ads can have other intentions behind them not just to sell you more shit. Like for example...

Nonprofits might make an AD with the intention of raising awareness about a particular subject. Like for example climate change or inequality etc., etc.

Their primary intention behind the propaganda is not to sell you shit, but to make you change an opinion about a certain subject or at least start a cultural conversation about this particular subject.

Politicians put out propaganda (ADs) that are trying to influence your opinion. The intention behind the politician's AD is to change your opinion and vote for them instead of others.

Why am I telling you all of this..??

It is part of true awakening for you to be able to see through people's intentions.

It is extremely important. It is more important than you think.

Being able to analyze what the intentions are behind the particular propaganda pieces not only makes you less susceptible to be manipulated but also even more importantly...

It teaches you how to think critically.

It is a very simple exercise. You look at the AD.

"Ohhhhh, this company puts out this AD.

They want me to purchase this product. Their intentions are... After I see this, I should have the immediate thought to purchase this product.

Do I really want this product??"

Say this to yourself every time you see an AD.

Do this little thought exercise every time you see an AD.

It is a very simple but yet unbelievably effective thought exercise.

Or don't do it and stay fcking brain-dead and asleep... IDC 😅😅😅

Government's intentions

Most of the government propaganda is just fluff pieces trying to make you feel more love towards your nationality. Trying to make you love the country you live in more...

Trying to make you love more the government within the country that you live in.

For example, standing up during school class every day to look and sing at a national flag... might be 😅 a type of propaganda

Listen up!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a patriot. We make fun of the US patriots, but the honest truth is that every single country on planet Earth puts out fluff propaganda.

As a matter of fact, the fluff propaganda created by CCP China or Kim Jong Un from North Korea, is ten million times more intense.

Now 🧚

If you want to know even more. Then click here! But I am warning you, once you learn this. You can never unlearn this.

P.S. I am obviously trying to cast spells as well. xdd

#shadowwizardmoneygang we love casting spells 💥

"Propaganda is Art. Art of changing people's minds by using nothing else but words."

(Well governments especially, use absolutely everything they can.

Not just words.

I guess, I just felt kinda like poetic or something... 😅)

Honorable mention goes to my homeboy David Sacks...

The bestie that always truly speaks his mind xoxo

and ofc...
