The Telescreen is the pervasive media screen put in front of, and injected into, the eyes and ears of humans in the American electronic techno-culture. This begins from birth, and moulds consciousness throughout life: not a genuine human consciousness, but rather is a less-than-human, despiritualized semi-consciousness. People today continually flood their consciousnesses with images and impressions from television, videogames, church, radio, billboards, textbooks, magazines, newspapers, etc.- the "telescreen world" of Orwell's 1984. The Telescreen is about how this pseudosphere destroys consciousness and society as humans give their attention, consciousness, and vital spirit to the telescreen. The result is a society of unholy subhumans, who no longer act like they have souls: They cannot turn off the telescreen world even to have dinner and talk to each other or to their children. When they do talk it is mostly about impressions from the telescreen world. Their inner subjective consciousness is constructed and formed by the telescreen, leading to a world of despiritualization and warmongering by hordes of conformist, petty, unhappy troll-like "yes-men." -- Jeff Grupp The telescreens of 1984 substituted fiction lives for the empty ones of a brainwashed population, as in Plato's cave. Grupp drives it home that this is our world now. Some features of this dream-world of The Telescreen: Materialism and consumerism make people into robots, shallow stooges. Degrading self-images, down-dumbing education of drills, not thinking skills. War propaganda fed on pure fakery and repetition by the media, censored of truth and filled with non-news, gossip and cant. Brainwashing underpinned by fallacious reasoning. Example: Iran and Iraq slandered as murderously planning to unleash WMDs, while the US really has and uses them for genocide against target nations. Information warfare: The bias of "educational" TV shows like the "History Channel." Trusted figures hired to peddle suspect messages. Journalists who stray from the party line into real issues are fired. Exploiting the herd instinct to impose conformity. Psychological tyranny is more effective than brute force. An artificial consciousness is dinned into people by constant electronic stimuli. They depend on it -- and on pharmaceutical drugs too -- for a feeling of well-being: they are addicts. Appendix -- Infowars articles: the NWO is taking over the patriot and truth movements, seemingly attacking itself. We need Jeffersonian militias, not gun control. -- J-P Leonard

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Painful Truth about Mass Media in America
    Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    I am halfway through "The Telescreen" and am having a hell of a hard time reading it. He hits the nail on the head so hard that it pains me to come to terms with this information. I am thoroughly frustrated and outright mad at the level of brainwashing occurring in America. I can't believe that everyone I know and love has been duped into thinking that our mass media reports the news responsibly and honestly. I find myself ranting to myself for an hour or so every time I pick up the book. Jeffrey Grupp is right on.

    5.0 out of 5 stars One star...that's crazy obviously you don't understand
    Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2013
    It intrigues me to see that some people rate books on grammical errors instead of content. Blame the publishing company or just simply deal with it. The information provided not only has several references they are verified through multiple studies. You read the book to learn what's going on around us and how we are affected....not to rate grammar. If you can't understand how to rate something than don't rate it at all. This is a wonderful book that opens your mind in multiple ways and explains questions you've always wondered about. Open it up read a little you'll see what I'm talking about. Stay positive and promote people who try to make a difference.

    I heard him on Coast to Coast, where he was so good in person that I bought the book -- big mistake. The book is extremely poorly written, so much so that reading through it becomes a chore, which takes away from the content after awhile. I'm sorry to have to say it -- even while I think the author is a thinker worth listening to if you ever get the chance to hear him speak -- but I cannot recommend this book.

    2.0 out of 5 stars I have a few issues with this one.
    Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    My issues are simple. I found several misspelled words and other grammatical errors before I was a third through this. I am also unsure what this author was referring to by using the term "empirical". This was the most opinionated work I have read in awhile. He also seems to criticize his readers by labeling them somehow unspiritual. Perhaps I was not part of the intended audience? I don't know, but I read the book. Two stars, instead of one, because the cover was interesting.

    4.0 out of 5 stars ... agree with Grupp's "Telescreen" Thesis of ...
    Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2015
    ...agree with Grupp's "Telescreen" Thesis of The Hunger Games-like "de-Humanization" of the populace; But he needs to tie this into (in a fuller, more comprehensive way, and with specific factual details) and explain how the Black psychological arts of mass Mind-programing --by, and for, the benefit of the Ruling Elite-- allows for a populace who is near 100% clueless about the myriad Eugenic attacks against them: From the vaccine fraud; to the sodium flouride in water supplies fraud; to the covering-up of more effective (and safer), less expensive medical treatments/cures; to the various nano particles/biotech put in processed foods; to what researcher-scientist Clifford Carnicom has rightly/justifiably (based on his Findings) called, "The Biggest Crime Against Humanity Ever" - the "Aerosol Spraying Program", commonly called "Chemtrails". Yes, the "Telescreening" of Humanity does limit one's -(most everyone's) ability to be a truly and "fully"-engaged Human being, because most Hearts and Souls weren't made to cope well with this sensory OVERload of information and images. Thus, we (most people) have not only lost socio-political freedoms under this Tyrannical structure, we've lost "Freedom of (our) Mind", one of the most valuable things a Human can lose. But, even more important than our Minds' health, is our systemic bodily health and vitality; For without that, one's Mind can only struggle along one's side, trying to find a reason to maintain it's positive potential. This is why, that even in books such as Grupp's here (ones' dealing with the Spirit/the Soul of Man), that it's still always important, always relevant to also bring up the biological side of being Human; Thus never should the Eugenic assaults on our Souls' containers ever be ignored, or ever be lightly dismissed -(as being not-as-bad as they factually are).
