Can't See the Forest for the... well you know

Pine Tree Mind Control: http://ptsmc.org

I was researching subliminal messaging last night, and came across this rather unique site. In fact, I laughed in Horror (yes it is possible). For the record, I believe passionatly in personal expression and free will. I celebrate individuality as a wonderful powerful thing. So when I found this site, I read and laughed, meanwhile shuddering at the thought of it. Joke or not joke?

As one of the subversive elements Pine Tree is out to get- I salute the whole concept.

Regardless of how true or not true it is, I think it's a beautiful, artistic and provocative social statement. So Well DONE! I hate what they're saying, but love that they're saying it. So please, if this stresses you out- or you want to have some fun... pass on the website to your favourite protesters and rile them up. If it makes you mad about the idea... it's serving a greater purpose. Don't just get mad, do something about it. Show those mind control men what individual power can do!!



Some of my favourite quotes from the propaganda pages:

Support Apathy!

What does it all mean? Nothing, really. Pine Tree State Mind Control, through social engineering and a healthy dose of subliminal programming, has already begun implanting the necessary elements to create a community of zombies. Become a zombie today! You are already on your way after reading this! The slogan is "Art versus Reality versus The Soul". Without individuality, conflict is eliminated. If we can "all just get along", there is no need to blow our little whistles all the time. All those whistles make a lousy racket. It is better to sleep. Give up. Work. Smile. Work. Sleep. Consume. Sleep

A quote about the organization:

Pine Tree State Mind Control is a small organization in Maine which has as its purpose the pacification of subversive or destructive elements in society. Using simple, yet sophisticated emotional engineering techniques, we can marshal a segment of the population that is now little more than parasitic into an army of productive, stolid, citizens. What takes water cannons and rubber bullets in some backwards countries is now done through music, television, flyers like this, and speakers hidden throughout many cities. The costs of such elegant transformation are minor and are quickly recouped (albeit indirectly) by the strengthening of Maine's social infrastructure and the resultant economic boost. Because our costs are low, the volume of our output can remain high. A moderate influence campaign (targeting a city like Waterville or Kennebunk) consists of 1500 flyers (cost - $250), fifteen speaker assemblies ($50), one low-level pulse transmitter ($300), and broadcast air time ($300). For less than a thousand dollars, we can make subtle changes in attitude and behavior of the population that make the area more attractive to commerce.

A quote about the band:

Pine Tree State Mind Control uses subliminal messages and hypnosis techniques to create a happy, productive society." PTSMC layers these messages under dense noise. This is because fans of noise "music" are typically antisocial and unwilling to be productive parts of society. This is our target market. Listening to this noise will make you smile.
