Upon first watching this video on December 22, I was astonished. I posted the mention below immediately on my blog. However, upon reviewing the comments on this particular video I became aware that I had been had. I was fooled. I reviewed the video and observed the onion symbol that was in the typical place of the “C” in “C-SPAN.”
So, I took it down. However, after some reflection I find there may be some good reasons to draw your attention to it. I researched HR 8971 and found there was indeed such a bill; however, it was about “the disposing of agricultural surpluses to encourage foreign relations” in 1954.
It saddens me to see that I was fooled, that some think we must “jump” to every change in the breeze. Nonetheless, there may be some truth to this “spoof.” Allow me to explain:
Throughout history in art, there has been a trend towards the subconscious expression of the truth. This spoof on The Congressional Record may indeed be just such a reflection. Observe how I and others were so quickly drawn in and easily fooled.
Something else crosses mind. That is the idea of so-called “low level magic” prevalent in conspiratorial spheres. The idea is that the prognosticator informs the victim of the horrors that the prognosticator intends to inflict upon the victim thereby causing the victim to be more easily subdued, to be put to sleep in a fashion.
Nonetheless, there is a concept in the psychological literature called “learned helplessness” put forth by Martin Seligman. In his famous experiments dogs were subjected to electrical shock and under certain circumstances, the dogs no longer tried to avoid the shock but merely lay down, curled up and accepted their fate. They stopped trying.
When I think of these concepts, especially the reflection of political truths in the arts and Seligman’s “learned helplessness,” the video takes on new meaning. Perhaps it is not so much of a spoof, satire or humorous art. Be advised, it is a “joke” but is it funny?
Folks,
Watch this while you can. It’s already been taken down once and it won’t be up long:

Listen to Representative John Haller (Republican) from Pennsylvania choke as he reads about the provisions for urban centers as he declares, “Jesus!” and he again announces another passage is “classified.”
WHAT THEY ARE PLANNING TO DO IS SO HORRIBLE THE HONORABLE CONGRESSMAN LOST HIS COMPOSURE COMPLETELY!
HR8791 is euphemistically called “The Homeland Terrorism Preparedness Bill” in doublespeak. It really is a plan for marshal law. Moreover, it includes mentions to:
“Large scale outbreak”
“If the attack affects more than 80% of the population CLASSIFIED.”
“Irradiated CLASSIFIED.”
“Air bourn CLASSIFIED.”
“Flesh eating CLASSIFIED.”
Listen closely because there is a lot more that slips out including underground holding centers and body disposal. Moreover, it contains provisions for a CLASSIFIED person or agency to draft our NEW BILL OF RIGHTS!
Why must so much be down under the cloak of secrecy? It reads, from what little leaked out in this YouTube video, like a massive assault on multiple fronts planned against the US population!
