At Media Blitz Publicity, our motto has long been, “Making Creative Ideas Reality” – with much of our focus being on Media, Marketing, Entertainment, and Education. This work has mostly been in the “digital” space, consisting of audio, video, websites, and physical media, which is all within the realm of communications. We are taking that a step further now, using multimedia content to empower our audiences with practical skills and knowledge that can be used for truly valuable real-world projects that improve their homes and strengthen their families and communities. It is time to emphasize the “Reality” part of our tagline.
This expansion into “IRL” (In Real Life) is an extension of our “Education” component, and it shines a spotlight on the shortcomings of modern educational institutions by providing what they typically don’t. Many of these emphases also stand in stark contrast to the establishment institutions that are typically geared toward producing a certain type of “product” out of their students – often an indebted worker who will tirelessly labor for a shamelessly opportunistic company owned by other people, competing not only for such a position but also against other such companies in hopes of earning the cash they need to cover mounting expenses of food, shelter, fuel, bills, loans, and entertainment in a crowded, urban, scarcity-driven environment.
It appears the inhabitants of “modern society” have been hoodwinked, and this “scarcity”, while still valid as an economic concept, is more malleable a condition than they’ve let on – if you know to pursue the right (often unfashionable) skills. To say, “Scarcity is a lie” may be false, but it seems to be more true than what we have been led to believe.
The American Dream was based on Independence, and the modern urban convenience zone is the antithesis of that. The artificial modern society we take for granted relies upon technology that could short-circuit at any moment. Rather than learn not to be dependent on comforts and conveniences, people tend to jump through hoops that often require they sacrifice their values, their honor, and unseen opportunities so they may chase clever promises that will keep them roped in by their masters. Is that the future you want for yourself and your children?
Today’s citizens and graduates don’t know how to do much of anything that is real, and the economy’s shaky condition reflects this. Rugged, self-sufficient individualism has been replaced by a desperate, ephemerally-fashionable conformity in artificial environments, where the clueless captives are encouraged to think of themselves as strong and independent for their trouble. People are being trained to sit in front of screens as they virtually adapt and maneuver within regularly changing digital interfaces to achieve some digital result or interaction, rather than learn physical skills that apply more consistently and provide direct real-world results. Learn to meet your needs directly by growing your own skills and expanding this mindset among those you know. Enlarge the capability pool among your family, friends, and community as an investment in a real future.

Odysee has overtaken BitChute as the best competitor to YouTube. It is a decentralized, blockchain-based online video platform based on the LBRY hosting platform. The videos tend to load much better than BitChute, and the content is much more diverse, at least when compared to BitChute’s trending content that tends toward more extreme free speech that is not allowed on YouTube. Odysee is becoming the decentralized, free speech version of YouTube that people have been wanting back.
You are likely somewhat aware by this point that YouTube has been censoring and deplatforming users of its platform for political opinions or for even mentioning words or subjects that it considers to be “fake news”, “controversial”, or against its interests – especially in regards to worldwide health issues, treatments, riots, military conflagrations, and election results. Alt-Tech and Odysee in particular seek to remedy this by providing a social, free-speech multimedia experience that is fun and welcoming.
At this point, YouTube Channel owners should begin uploading their old and new videos to an Odysee channel. If you meet the requirements (based on following and content originality/quality), you may even be able to auto-sync your content when you sign up.
You should know that they have gamified behavior on Odysee, incorporating their own cryptocurrency tokens to support content and affect search results on the platform. You also have to have an amount of tokens to upload a video, so you should create an account and learn to use the platform by watching videos and following channels on Odysee. Then proceed to upload your old and new videos on your Odysee channel as you are able to afford the uploads. There are a number of tasks you can complete to earn tokens when you are new to the platform.
Odysee is expected to continue improving. Join today and build the future of online video while regaining the experience of old “free speech” YouTube many of us grew up with.

And so here we are, ready for an assault on our Everest: the mind that lies behind the low-reactor Sociopath face. A face that gazes upon the worlds of Losers and the Clueless with divine inscrutability. It’s certainly been a long climb.
With the resurrection of David Wallace and the ascent of Robert California to a richly undeserved heaven-on-earth, a harem of young East European women, the crew at The Office teed up their final season, and presented us with our last and biggest challenge. And finally, we are ready to take it on.
Under the creepily steady gaze of Robert California, Jim wilts and chokes. Dwight blusters like a frightened dog, “Stop trying to get into my head!” But ultimately even that courageous Clueless soul cowers.
But you and I, we are going to break through. Our gaze may flinch. We may lose the staring contest with Robert California. We may fail to perturb the preternatural poise of David Wallace. But we will figure out the minds that lie beneath… Read more…

At the heart of all tragedy, the Greeks saw a phenomenon they called hamartia: a fatal error born of unavoidable ignorance. Combined with a fundamental moral flaw, hamartia inevitably led on to destruction. For the Greeks, humans were cursed not just with mortality of the flesh, but also hamartia-driven mortality of the spirit. Hamartia was the Gods being Divine Jerks, randomly toying with human lives for their own pleasure, through cat-and-mouse games the latter could not hope to win.
For the Greeks, any divine purpose, even subtly malicious randomness, in the ordering of the universe, was preferable to purposelessness. At least the gods cared enough to be cruel.
Nietzsche saw tragedy differently. For Nietzsche, God was dead and only the flesh was real. There was only the indifferent Great Bureaucrat of the material universe, Chancellor Entropy, apathetically offering humans a form to fill out, with just one simple check-box choice: “death or booga booga?”
The Clueless disdainfully ignore the reams of fine print, and proudly check: death.
After trying, and failing to understand the fine print, the Losers cautiously check: booga booga.
Finally, the Sociopath frowns doubtfully at the form, and asks: “Can I speak with your supervisor?”
“Certainly,” says the Great Bureaucrat. “There’s some additional paperwork for that I am afraid. Just fill these out, and take them over there. Godot will be right with you.”
Welcome to the penultimate episode of the Gervais Principle series. The saga of two-plus years and 20,000-plus words of booga-booga that you have already endured is now winding its way to a tortuous conclusion.
Heads I Win, Tails You Lose
We will return to the grave matter of metaphysical booga-booga in the final part. Let us start the last leg of our journey in a familiar place: Dunder-Mifflin. Read more…

Each of them – and they constitute 80% of humanity – is born the most beautiful baby in the world. Each is an above-average child; in fact the entire 80% is in the top 20% of human beings (it’s crowded up there). Each grows up knowing that he or she is deeply special in some way, and destined for a unique life that he or she is “meant” to live… You and I know them as Losers. Welcome to Part IV of the Gervais Principle series.
Last time, we left one of the unfortunate Clueless, Andy Bernard, staring with deep frustration and anger at the world of the Wonderful Human Beings, pining to join, but rejected and humiliated… Read more…
For the past five years, I have provided Turn-Key Video Content Marketing Programs for Legal, Medical, and Business Professionals throughout the United States and Canada. In many cases, I have fulfilled programs marketed through other companies, coordinating and completing the video editing, copywriting, review, scheduling, and monthly publication of videos and written content for various firms and professionals on overlapping schedules.
These other programs also involved some prominent legal and video marketing professionals with roots going back to early 1980s cable television and the early days of YouTube following its 2005 launch. While I remain somewhat active with those third-party programs, I have also set out on my own to promote new Video Content Marketing programs that are aligned with my Video & Content Marketing visions.
When I was an undergraduate in college, years before YouTube made online video easily accessible and practical, I was heavily involved in independent music, guerilla marketing, and using music-oriented content to engage local, regional, and national music fans to increase interest in music events and independent music recordings. When I was later pursuing a joint degree in Law and an MBA in Marketing, still over a year before YouTube’s February 2005 launch, I made a decision to ditch the legal studies and jump head-first into audio, visual, and written content, combining it with online and guerilla marketing. I was using media to promote media, on a “DIY” basis. Media Blitz is the direct result of taking that step, and what I was envisioning in 2003 is essentially content marketing as we know it today.
I proceeded to complete my MBA in Marketing, record and produce several independent music albums for my own projects and for others, and teach myself graphic design and audio-video editing. I edited my first non-linear edited music video in the months before YouTube launched. I have edited hundreds of promotional and educational videos since then, and I have polished my skills in Video Content Marketing for Professionals in niche markets over the past five years. Now, Media Blitz Publicity is making similar programs available to professionals like you through our CONSTANT CONTENT FLOW Video Marketing Programs.

In the first two parts of this series, we talked about the archetypes that inhabit organizations (Sociopaths, Losers, Clueless), what they do (the Gervais Principle) and how (the four languages). In this part, we’ll use a somewhat unorthodox take on the idea of arrested development to explain why the three groups behave as they do, and use that to predict the outcomes of individual interpersonal interactions… Read more…

We began this analysis of corporate life by exploring a theoretical construct (the Gervais Principle) through the character arcs of Michael and Ryan in The Office. The construct and examples provide a broad-strokes treatment of the why of the power dynamics among Sociopaths, the Clueless and Losers.
This helps us understand how the world works, but not how to work it. So let me introduce you to the main skill required here, mastery over the four major languages spoken in organizations, among Sociopaths, Losers and the Clueless. I’ll call the four languages Posturetalk, Powertalk, Babytalk and Gametalk… Read More…

By Venkatesh Rao
My neighbor introduced me to The Office back in 2005. Since then, I’ve watched every episode of both the British and American versions. I’ve watched the show obsessively because I’ve been unable to figure out what makes it so devastatingly effective, and elevates it so far above the likes of Dilbert and Office Space.
Until now, that is. Now, after four years, I’ve finally figured the show out. The Office is not a random series of cynical gags aimed at momentarily alleviating the existential despair of low-level grunts. It is a fully realized theory of management that falsifies 83.8% of the business section of the bookstore. The theory begins with Hugh MacLeod’s well-known cartoon, Company Hierarchy, and its cornerstone is something I will call The Gervais Principle, which supersedes both the Peter Principle and its successor, The Dilbert Principle… Read more…

Exploit, Don’t Endorse – Responding to the Big Social & Big Search Credibility Crisis at Google,
Facebook, and Twitter
Big Social Media Companies have become a large part of customer-facing communications and interactions, so how best to respond ethically to their privacy, corruption, and censorship scandals? We promote an explicit “Exploit, Don’t Endorse” policy that continues the communication line while urging everyone to bring the conversation to more trustworthy platforms – through Alt-Tech online communication/interaction portals and by converting visitors to your owned web properties. This promotes a healthier society while denying endorsement to Corrupt Big Social/Tech.
The masses are responding to the credibility crisis at Google/YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter that has resulted from the inescapable furor over heavy-handed censorship, political bias, and outright lies routinely implemented by these companies in their customer-facing services.
Many are deleting their Facebook apps, abandoning Twitter, and using alternative search engines. They are tired of being lied to, and they’re not going to take it anymore. They’re not going to play that game. Recent years have seen an amazing amount of centralization on the internet. People are noticing. The information, resources, and views they are seeking are not available. What’s marketed to them as entertainment is offensive and unenjoyable, so they seek alternatives – but they’re hard to find. Alternative viewpoints to obvious falsehoods and propaganda are buried or banned. Search results are no longer focused on being relevant, but they push a PC agenda.
Terms of Service (ToS) on popular websites and web services increasingly disallow dissent – preventing communication among users and even people trying to fill the void with alternative platforms and outlets. Hosting, domain services, and distribution channels collude to deny service for what would be a thriving market.
This is an avalanche situation. At some point it all falls. The colluding media companies have to react to their credibility crisis. It’s Fake News, Fake Search, Fake Social, and Fake Education. It’s a Fake Media Infrastructure that’s colluding with and pushing dramatic Fake Politics built on manufactured outrage and propagandistic headlines designed to promote controllable herd behavior. Multimedia content consumption is often compared to experiencing a dream. These dreams are manufactured. Some tune in and buy in. Others react differently, tuning it out and thinking for themselves and communicating among each other.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
Monopolizing the market of ideas couldn’t be expected to go over well. Denying it or saying it’s for their own good won’t work for long. It denies the human spirit, which ultimately won’t be contained. We are taught to emulate and sync with machines, but the absurdity becomes gratingly apparent. People want options.
Fake consensus is a central tool in their conspiracy. When you have an interconnected social world such as we have with the internet and mobile devices, maintaining such fake consensus requires that the lies get bigger and bigger, making them harder not to notice. Opposition grows and must be dismissed, ignored, or demonized through larger lies. At this point, almost anything you see coming out of the colluding Fake Media Infrastructure is spitting in your face.
What is the biggest lie that will hold before the avalanche falls?
Stalinist Tech has weaved its way through society, programming NPCs from birth through television and online propaganda, corrupt government-controlled education, insane college brainwashing camps, and corporations that seek to pit their employees, their competitors, the customers, and their audiences against their own interests. Most of this falls under the banner of Cultural Marxist “Political Correctness” and is presented as virtuous and moral.
It’s blatantly Orwellian. Anyone who can see this wants nothing to do with it. Individuals, businesses, and organizations look at this and wonder how to respond. Boycotts seem like the moral response, but they are hard to keep up, and these big tech companies still make up a large percentage of the market. They are told that they must have an engaging prsence on social media, and to many that means Facebook and Twitter. They need to be findable on the internet to be competitive, so utilizing Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is of great importance – but when 75% of web behavior begins with Google, what can you do to avoid feeding the beast?
The attitude of a boycott can be retained while implementing an “Exploit, Don’t Endorse” approach. You can go where your target customers or audience currently are, but you want to convert them to your platform and have their loyalty on your terms. Don’t make your audience and community loyalty dependent upon these platforms. Diversify your online presence far beyond Google, Facebook, and Twitter, utilize emerging platforms that compete with them, and grow through engagement in niche areas that are not built on their rented land. The market will go elsewhere as these companies increasingly fall out of favor.
You may go as far as explicitly stating that your use of a platform like Facebook, Twitter, or even Google is not an endorsement, and that you are opposed to the corruption and social irresponsibility they and colluding media and business institutions exhibit. While many of those organizations try to frame their actions in moral terms, taking a stance against them signals true virtue that will resonate with capable-minded individuals and audiences. This is the ethical, moral, and patriotic response.
Do your part in the re-decentralization of the internet and media communications. You can begin this right now, and plan to leave Twitter and Facebook (if they don’t ban you first!) as they become less useful to you. Use these platforms to cross-promote your presence on competing platforms. Explore and optimize for alternative search engines. Concentrate on conversion, customer loyalty, and true righteousness.
Google, Facebook, and Twitter have overplayed their hand. So have the other colluding mass media – both online and traditional. A new age of decentralization is at hand. Embrace it and seize the day.
