Photoshop the new window into the virtual world we now live in:
I was working on a photoshop image for the website. To do that you have many options and one of the best is to use “Gimp!” I was happily altering a photo to meet the conditions that I set for it and then all of a sudden, I stopped and realized something…
I just took a sip of that wonderful coffee here in Korolev, Russia and I then decided to start this article…
The term photoshop needs to be expounded upon. In the situation that I am using it in, means, “Any altercations in the “real world” by technical manipulations to accomplish the goals set at hand. These goals could be something as simple as just a photo to make yourself look like Superman, to manipulations of data to make a whole country believe in going to war. This twisting of data is not held to just photos, but it is expanded to all carbon based/non carbon based existence and more…”
We photoshop whole countries – Libya, Syria, Russia, America, Europe and in fact we alter the reality of everything on the planet. We do this even if it is a flagrant lie. We do this to create the reality that we want to present and effect the minds of everyone about what we present. We want everyone to see the world through our eyes and to believe like we do. So we manipulate the data when we can and hope one more person falls into the trap and follows our way of thinking. We – in this case is any one individual to a whole country of individuals that are being herded to a common goal…
I watched the manipulations happening all the time: Boston, Washington DC, Moscow and now look at London! A man with a meat cleaver and a knife in his dripping bloody hands, expresses sorrow at what he had to do and he politely gave what seems to be an amazing interview to a person who just was on his way to a job interview and filmed all that happened like it was a reality show on TV… (All the while 50 people stood and watched it all happen…)
All this spouting about photoshop by me is just my way of saying that nothing is real anymore. What you see as feelgood or feelbad images, articles and data is nothing more than a manipulation of qualitative or quantitative variables, that perform a needed function to arrest and desist a real flow and reality of perceptions. To be guided to the false premises that all is wonderful or terrible, whatever fits the requirement for that given second in life…
I am going to sip my coffee and return to my “Gimp” photoshop and alter a photo to try to change your reality and perception about the death you ignore, and actually you demand that death of millions of innocent people, all over the world, by silence is approval of your governments actions…
Now that is reality…

The copy scores 59.7 in the Flesch Reading Ease test, which is considered fairly difficult to read…
