0040 What is a candidate for the alternate illusion (C’) that Jones thwarts?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a scenario.  As soon as a heinous crime occurs, members of the corporate media arrive on the scene.  Rather than questioning the nature of the crime, they focus on one particular aspect of the event.<\/em>  A gun<\/em> is present.  A gun<\/em> should not be present!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A is the heinous crime, a mind-independent being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B’ is the presence of a firearm, a mind-dependent being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0041 How does an automatic rifle<\/em> serve as a mind-dependent being?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Media mavens<\/em> have no knowledge of a firearm<\/em> as a mind-independent being<\/em>.  A gun has heft.  A gun is a tool with particular mechanical operations.  A gun is a weapon and a thing that must be handled with a degree of caution<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Media mavens<\/em> have knowledge that a gun is taboo<\/em>.  The taboo<\/em> transforms the gun <\/em>into a mind-dependent being<\/em>.  The gun is a forbidden thing.<\/em>  Guns are banned on campus.  Guns are the locus of a fixation.  Guns are scary, deranged and capable of murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0042 Speaking against the presence of a forbidden thing <\/em>(B’) is the illusion that the gun accounts for the crime <\/em>(C’).  Here, the mind-independent being<\/em> is the heinous crime (A) that is now regarded as mind-dependent<\/em> (C’) because of the gun’s dangerous capacities<\/em>.  The real event<\/em> (A) is accounted for by the magical malevolence of the gun<\/em> (C’), rather than the psychological conditions of the perpetrator<\/em> (C).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that the perpetrator of the heinous crime is not sentenced to death<\/em> indicates that the members of the legal system<\/em>do not consider the criminal actor<\/em> responsible (C).  The weapon,  a forbidden thing<\/em> (B’), is responsible (C’).  If the forbidden thing<\/em> was not present, the crime<\/em> would not have occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrasting with the illusion (C’), the delusion (D’) regards a mind-dependent being<\/em> (the gun is taboo) in terms of a mind-independent being<\/em> (permitted by the law).   The fact that the second amendment of the American Constitution permits guns<\/em> accounts for the gun breaking corporate media’s taboos against carrying firearms<\/em>.  The law permits a taboo to be broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0043 So, here is a picture of the corporate media’s campaign to exploit the heinous crime in order to advance their political agenda<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Figure 05<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0044 This is the act of persuasion<\/em> that Jones thwarts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps, the lost opportunity cost<\/em> is equivalent to Jones’s incredible fine<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0046 What does this imply?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever is going on in the legal tribulation of Alex Jones,<\/em> the Greimas square seems to work as a way to express the semiotic flow of an act of persuasion<\/em>.  This act of persuasion<\/em> starts with a mind-independent being<\/em> (A) and ends with a delusion<\/em> (D’), where a mind-dependent being<\/em> is regarded as mind-independent<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the trials of Jones<\/em>, the delusion (D) is that Jones’s questioning<\/em> is the cause of psychological distress for those effected by a heinous crime<\/em>.  Jones’s questioning<\/em> is B and mind-dependent.  In a delusion (D), a mind-dependent being becomes a mind-independent being.  Jones’s questioning<\/em> (B) is regarded as a mind-independent cause of psychological distress<\/em> (D).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For corporate media’s exploitation of a heinous crime<\/em>, the delusion (D’) says that a heinous crime<\/em> (A) is caused by a feature of our legal system <\/em>(a mind-independent being and the target of the act of persuasion<\/em>).  The gun is taboo and is present at the crime (B’).  The forbidden thing is responsible for the crime (C’).  The second amendment of the American Constitution<\/em> is responsible for the presence of the forbidden thing<\/em> (D’).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, the Greimas square<\/em> expresses the semiotic flow of an act of persuasion<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0047 What next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
