youth transmission

The way interacting with younger people—more so children—automatically and almost always unknowingly transmit their youth to older people.

Though I taught high school and college, I love teaching second graders so much because they are tender and interacting with them makes me feel so hopeful. I call interacting with younger people—specially children—youth transmission.

Strong and fast, are an example of two-adjectives. Smart but smelly, ugly but funny, fat and ugly, fat and friendly, short but cute, tall and arrogant, intelligent but snotty, snobbish but elegant. The other similar method is two-nouns, as in skinny and tall. These two-adjectives or two-nouns help describe characters in plays, for example.

mediaopoly

The word "mediaopoly" merges the words "media" and "monopoly." Ben H. Bakdikian published his book called "The Media Monopoly" in 1983 . The "mediapoly" is comprised of a handful of corporations which buy independent media outlets, merges them into one conglomerate, dictates what is news, only hires journalists who do not question the system and suppresses independent or alternative ideas and points of view (Fabara, 2017). Whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg gave Bagdikian portions of the Pentagon Papers, a top-secret classified history of the Vietnam War, and he gave a copy of the documents to Senator Mike Gravel, who promptly read them into the Congressional Record (1971). In 1976, Bagdikian became dean of the graduate school of journalism at the University of California, Berkeley.

The "mediapoly" buys independent media outlets, merges them into a conglomerate, dictates what is news, manipulates, distorts, and ultimately controls reality, and only hires journalists who do not question and glorify the status-quo; thus covertly suppressing and censoring alternative ideas and points of view, and contradicting the freedom of speech the First Amendment grants America's taxpayers (Fabara, 2017). The mediaopoly is comprised of 7 media giants: Comcast, Walt Disney, Twenty-First Century Fox, Time Warner, Direct TV, CBS, Viacom (the last two separated in 2006).

reality imposition

Telling others what is and what is not, what is good and what is bad, who is good and who is bad, what foods to eat or not eat, what things to do, or not do. A key function of religions, governments, media, schools, and corporations—the five institutions which pilot society and its members like drones.

The prosecuting attorney told the members of the jury in Federal Truth Court, "In collusion, society's five most powerful institutions make countless false statements which flip most things around to their advantage and allow them to pilot society and its members as if they were drones (2016). That constitutes"reality imposition."
