What Are You Being Exposed To? by Trey Knowles

Have you ever wondered what is wrong with your government?

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; Psalm 1:1

Tobacco and alcohol use and abuse is witchcraft, sorcery from manufacturing companies who produce products of mind control witch craft of destruction. Increasing media messages and images is direct advertising, they are normalizing and glamorizing the use of tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs. This is like the Garden of Eve where Satan tempted Eve. We see that tricks still continue with deception.

Tobacco manufacturers spend $6 billion per year and alcohol manufacturers $2 billion per year to entice youngsters into consuming their products. Content analysis has found that alcohol, tobacco, or illicit drugs are present in 70% of prime-time network dramatic programs and half of all music videos.

The prominence of alcohol in prime-time television applies to all characters, including adolescents, where negative characteristics are often applied. However, many adults shown to consume alcohol have positive personality characteristics. Popular movies, frequently shown during the “family hour”, often show the lead or likable characters using and enjoying tobacco and alcohol products. In addition to programming, children and adolescents view approximately 20,000 advertisements each year, of which nearly 2,000 are for beer and wine.

For every public service announcement, adolescents will view 25–50 beer commercials. Research indicates that the combined 8 billion dollars that the tobacco and alcohol industries use every year to pitch their product to the American public has a significant impact on adolescents' beliefs and attitudes about smoking and drinking and may influence their consumption as well.

Correlation studies have shown a small but positive relationship between advertising exposure and consumption. Furthermore, advertising exposure appears to influence initial drinking episodes which in turn contribute to excessive drinking and abuse. The evidence, however, of increased consumption, is strongest regarding cigarette advertising and promotions. A recent longitudinal study found that an estimated one-third of all adolescent smoking could be causally related to tobacco promotional activities. Your Government doesn’t care and why. Comedy and Public Speaker Trey Knowles explains why in his allegory comedy C-SPAN TV.
