Mass Culture/Media as Hallucination Machine

American Heritage Stedman's Medical Dictionary
Hallucination: False or distorted perception of objects or events with a compelling sense of their reality, usually resulting from a mental disorder or drug.

An hallucinatory sense of reality can arise from correct sensory information but a false interpretation of the information. The mainstream media as projectors of the hallucination, the masses as those dwelling in the hallucination & media owners, politicians, captains of industry, ie the ruling elites as parasites who derive their power from the hallucination. In the Stedman's definition, the mental disorder or drug being the projections of the media.

A good example of the media as hallucination would be the famous video of Bin Laden admitting to responsiblity for the 911 attacks, as described here. This video heavily pushed by the Bush admin as proof positive of BL's responsibility, but there is a small problem with the video. Oh, the mistranslation of the words, says you. Possibly, but there is a slightly larger issue; that being that the man in the video is not Bin Laden. Besides "Bin Laden" having become a much fatter man than previously, the man's nose in the given video has undergone a very radical transformation. He's also gone from left to right-handed though this quite a small detail compared to being in possession of a different face. Admittedly he does have a beard. However, all in all, this is not Bin Laden & the projections of the power brokers onto the media onto the masses an intentional lie at the root, & the view of reality being projected & believed in is simply an hallucination. If one starts with a lie, all the analysis down the line is worthless.
Here incidentally is the FBI Bin Laden homepage where it says
"Usama Bin Laden is wanted in connection with the August 7, 1998, bombings of the United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya. These attacks killed over 200 people. In addition, Bin Laden is a suspect in other terrorist attacks throughout the world."

You will notice the absence of mention of 911 as the FBI believe they have no evidence to make this connection. You will not however notice this absence of mention of 911 in relation to Bin Laden when you see him mentioned in the media.
