'Long-term Harm' Too Much TV For Toddlers

The study of 1,300 children by Michigan and Montreal universities found negative effects on older children rose with every hour of toddler TV.

Performance at school was worse, while consumption of junk foods was higher. UK experts said parents could allow young children to watch “some” high quality TV. The study, part of the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development Main Exposure, asked parents how much TV their children watched at 29 months (two years and five months) and 53 months (four years and five months).

?Our findings make a compelling public health argument against excessive TV viewing in early childhood?

  1. Always appreciate the insights although I follow you two so much there are not as many surprises as there was at first which is good although much is grim. Just have to fix it ourselves. I realize the recording time of such in-depth subject matter cannot avoid some comments not having the advantage of outcomes right after the tape is in the can. M&M and Giza weekly usually fill in the blanks for the most part. Agree or disagree the quarterly wrap ups are something I look forward to. One thing for sure is the fact the resources, articles, videos and books that spring from these interviews are second to none.😎

  2. It is unfortunate that Catherine and Joseph are not familiar with the works of Joost Meerloo. This is essentially the work that Mathias Desmont was rewriting and leading everyone away from.

    Meerloo’s book “Rape of the Mind” introduces the concept of menticide whereby would be totalitarians inflict shock after shock on a population to keep them off balance and in fear thus keeping them from thinking critically. This reads like a playbook for Covid. If you also recall, right after 9/11, there was a second series of Anthax false flags to amplify the previous shock. Then in Meerloo’s book, “Delusion and Mass Delusion”, he provide a more detailed analysis of how government of Nazi Germany controlled its population through things like catchphrase triggers. Think ” safe and effective” or “social distancing”, etc.

    This is a short video – surprising it is still on YouTube that speaks about Mass Psychosis as something inflicted by psychopathic rulers and not spontaneous by the people and linking better to the earlier ideas of both Jung and Meerloo.

    1. Meerloo is quoted quite a lot in David A Hughe’s book, which by the way, is truly an absolute must read. We had our local printer print out the ebook, with the print on both sides of the paper, so it’s 200 double-sided pages. It’s such an essential read that we want to print more copies to share with others.

      1. So glad you said that. Would love to inspire it to be as widely read as possible!

    2. Watched the video. I ordered the Rape of the Mind in January, so I have it here. Have not read it yet, I need more time.

      1. Also Caldini’s book “Influence” is really good on other very low tech tactics to drastically change people’s mind to outrageous ideas. The 3rd chapter of the book lays out how the Chinese Communist brainwashed prisoners of war into believing Communism was the best system of government for China. They had prisoners write essays on how great communism for very small incentives. Basically, the principle is that if you write something you will forget later that you did not really believe it when you start and come to believe your own words. This is fundamentally what is going on with many of the college students. My friends daughter was given the task to write a paper on how the punk rock movement of the 80s was racist and misogynist. I read her paper and it had no historical facts or even understanding but she now believed all the counter culture of the 80s was inherently racist as were her parents. She was also very proud of her paper.
        Likely there is something about social media that influences people toward writing inflammatory comments and moves them to write more and more along those lines. I may even be why they really want to censor some thing on because they know writing about it has such a heavy impact on enforcing belief.

        1. That book gives me the creeps. The author mentions such awful deceptions, and I don’t get any hints that he actually has a personal ethic that would prevent him or anyone else from using them. He’s like someone looking at a torturer’s chamber and admiring the tools on the wall.

          1. All those books seem more like playbooks than guides to escape. They don’t really give a plan for armoring against such things; just document how to do it or how it is done. I would put Nudge and the whole area of behavioral economics into those areas as well. I have taken some behavioral economics classes, and it is really manipulative. If you watch any documentaries on the history of Bernays in the US. Almost everything he did made our whole society worse.

  3. Catherine and Joseph you discussed how Assange had destroyed all of the Clinton and DNC emails. However, Putin claims that he has all of those emails and has threatened to release them. So he has that card available to play at a appropriately strategic time too.

    1. I suspect many people have copies. Kimdotcom supposedly has a copy.

  4. Could a link to the video clip of Jared Bernstein be posted in the web presentation? That is enlightening for most.

  5. Did you say somewhere that QR codes were to be avoided? There are now ONLY QR Codes on the wall where the train schedule used to be posted for 50 years at all MetroNorth Train Stations in CT. If you don’ t have a phone – specifically with internet access – or the internet is down – you can’t tell what the schedule is anymore. There are no ticket machines or personnel at many stations to ask. I asked Robert Barnes, esq and apparently this is ok – they are given a lot of leeway regarding this. I would have thought this was unconstitutional for a public transit system. MetroNorth also stopped printing/providing ALL hard copies of the train schedules – they tell you that you can go online and print it out yourself ahead of time but that doesn’t account for spontaneous travel.

  6. Oh – and I came across an elderly couple on the train platform – who had been there for 2 hours in the heat. They didn’t know how to use the QR codes and didn’t know that the noon train had been cut from the schedule.

  7. Things kept popping into my mind as the video progressed. I suspect something gets lost in my translation from American into English. So I have some questions. Maybe I should ask on Ask Catherine, but here goes :
     1. The financial Coup and the Going Direct reset.

    Prior to the present Warfare models, the method was relatively straightforward. The governing party got into a financial bind, and wealthy nobility gathered the finances and trained forces to seize the wealth and resources of others in the expectation that the costs of the war would be repaid.

    With the advent of the Bradbury Pound in 1914, in particular, the duration of the war was no longer constrained by Bank Bullion Reserves. War could be funded by debt issuance and gold held in reserve.

    @00:24:00 : Legal tender in reference to bullion or Specie : the problem of market price ratio variability – Copernicus on Tri-metallic Currency. What does Legal Tender mean in this context?

    @00:25:00 : the issue of trust and fiat currency – how does this get fixed?

    @00:25:30 : the ReichBank Gold 1928 : “I know you are good for it”. Except that by 1939 Germany had a foreign exchange problem. And I thought that by 1928 Germany had run out of gold to make reparations, so was Schacht telling Hitler all he knew?

    @00:27:00 : Quantity of circulating money. Banking monopoly on money creation as a problem?

    @00:29:00 : Debt based currency : What does this mean? Economic Warfare? What does this mean?

    @00:30:30 : Economic Warfare : I interpret this as using other forms of warfare to solve your economic problems, and principally by gaining control of (your enemies) resources. How does this relate to the economy? To economics?

    @00:31:30 : moving from a governed financial system with debt free currency, to the Central Bank Welfare Warfare model via the issuance of debt? (see reference to Bradbury Pound above) The debt is guaranteed by the ability of the military to prosecute war and to plunder their enemies’ resources?

    @00:32: 30 : Sun Tzu vs von Clausewitz : Capital constraints and the cost of borrowing. I’m not sure of the Sun Tzu reference. I do not recall any reference by Sun Tzu to the financing of war?

    @00:34:30 : Does this refer to Gladio? as a model for prosecuting War, and the US Treasury market interventions via the CIA drug cartels and other means of waging war. Russia’s first interventions in Ukraine fail to achieve objectives because of the asymmetry against conventional forces.
    Psyops/Media warfare; biological and neurological warfare; unable to offer financial and political incentives to key players. Financial warfare to gain control of physical resources via market manipulation and low cost of dollar capital, plus laundering of US and EU investments in Ukraine.
    The Russian ability to innovate on the battlefield and to divert manufacturing resources to support that warfare, plus the failure of support of allies manufacturing and research capabilities allowed tactical advantage to overwhelm western supplied weaponry at modest costs. Is the problem that “Gladio” cannot be upscaled sufficiently? or efficiently?

    @00:38:00 : Ending bank secrecy? The return of $21Trillion.

    Neurological weaponry and Entrainment. Reference? Rockefeller Medicine vs traditional Chinese Medicine?

    @00:41:00 Moving the money? From where to where and how much?

    Collateralising the US Dollar. (with Bitcoin?)

    @00:53:00 : the Rockefeller; Rothschild and other factions have agreed on how to divvy up the plunder. So, some sort of Bretton-Woods agreement, but the USA is not agreement-capable? Credible?

    @00:56:00 : the role of private equity in managing the healthcare support services, hospitals, care homes. Before, during, or after they are under emergency powers?

    Derivatives and Debt and missing money. Where are the calculations? Any? Numbers?

    @02:50:00 : Germany cancels Covid Mandate for their military.
    Historically, slaves were a liability for City States. An enemy could offer them freedom/cancellation of debt. Is this relevant today?

    Data centres : why so much physical protection? More protection than Police Stations in Northern Ireland? Are they expecting something more than Civil War?
