Selling Fish and Selling Fear
Fish?
Yes! I’ll have some haddock today, and some Maine lobster tomorrow. Some baked stuffed shrimp would be a real treat. Or how about a bucket of Chesapeake Bay blue crabs with old bay seasoning?
Fear?
I like mine straight up. Maybe a little Glenn Beck with a dash of Alex Jones. And you can’t beat some good old Honky Racism, a white blood sucker dish with Louis Farrakhan sauce. And for the more ordinary palette, we can put up a side of Fox Breaking News ALLERT. Now if you feel daring there is also some survivalist hot sauce. Or, how about an appetizer of EMP attack?
Then again…
Maybe I’ve had enough fish and fear today. Something happier might suit my taste. I know!!!
How about a nice colorful…

EXACTLY!
Glenn Beck is an Obama operative.
What is wrong with Alex Jones? How can you compare either to Rev. Wright?
Hi Steven, I was criticizing myself, too. As we present these dark stories to the readers, it might be good to stop, and ask the question, “Am I just being a fear monger?” A “Fishmonger” sells fish. A “Fearmonger” sells fear. My next story may be horribly dark. But it’s important to consider the affect on the reader. Some people, including me, can’t take a non-stop stream of bad news. I didn’t mention Rev. Wright, but he would fit if I had. Wright and Beck are on very different squares, and I agree more with one than the other. But… Read more »
Bingo! About a dozen years ago in my early NWO-researching days, I was sub’d to the Infowars (AJ) yahoogroup which was strictly copies of their voluminous daily news articles. On my own, after noticing blood pressure & fear rising within, along with heart palpatations while reading through those articles, I finally realized that was not a good “diet” & unsub’d myself. I’m much better now at recognizing fearmongering straightaway. Another fearmongering site I noticed a few years ago which every single article was IMMEDIATE DOOM is the SHTFplan site. It had a great comment section, though, with many Christians for… Read more »
Thanks TPR, The light hearted and inspirational posts by Dr. Eowyn, Steve and the others are what made Fellowship of the Minds stand out to me a couple of years ago. And I know that a lot of what I post can send the blood pressure up. So, this is hopefully some self-adjustment. And I hope a little bit funny. And with all due respect to Glenn Beck and Alex Jones, their predictions of impending doom have yet to be fulfilled. I really didn’t have to lose all that sleep, or wreck all that time that could have been productive.… Read more »
Very true, a lot of funny stuff around this place! Great for a change of pace. And don’t beat yourself up. I never felt your posts even enter the Fearmonger Category at all. MSM is the Queen Fearmonger! 9/11, six full days/nights non-stop 24-hrs of incessantly repeating the towers falling, by the 3 Major Networks, thru the following Sun. night before they went back to regular programming! Talk about a huge fear-inspiring mind game on the public! A Made-for-TV “Disaster Flick” starring “Killer Arabs,” but because they aired it on the “News” vs. the “Monday Night Movie,” we all believed… Read more »

Speaking of Fishmongering, lol, that’s another area that can scare the beejeebers out of you — the whole Food Supply Disaster > toxic chemical fertizilers, zero-minerals soil, chemtrails raining down on farmed fields, mercury-laden seafood, irradiated produce, DNA-altering GMO, etc. How much is true, & how much is just for the Fear Factor? It can also paralyze your shopping list to the point of hopelessness. On the flip side they demonize “Organic” via ecoli & other “scares” supposedly because Organic was NOT grown with the toxic fertilizers, etc. etc. All such dialectic scenarios remind me of a line in the… Read more »
Ha ha ha,
Well, I hope to enjoy a couple of those evil lobsters sometime this summer. I have a nephew who is so paralyzed by the food scare stuff online that his family is afraid for his health. My view is: choose as well, and be as well informed as possible, but remember, starvation can kill you quicker. 😀
Ha! Good point re starvation! And sorry about your nephew. The “bad food news” is disheartening because it’s such a Big Problem it seems insurmountable for us puny humans to correct it. I have felt gridlocked & overwhelmed by it as well & that’s when I had to remind myself that all we can do is the best we can & rely on God to cover us regarding the rest of it. What always cracks me up about Ted Broer is his giant plastic lobster he uses as a prop, lol. So enjoy those “evil” boogers. I need a hot… Read more »
Well, I don’t know how we got onto food phobia on this post… but…it’s valid, trail &TPR. I, too, panicked when dogs/cats keeled over dead fr plastic Chinese pet foods…& people died fr/poison meats, apple juice/ cheese/tomatoes/peppers,blah,blah…& then I got mad b/c I felt like a duck in a carnival shooting galary, courtesy of our US gov’t foreign trade policies & domestic politics. AND, THEN, after much thought, realized GOD gave me everything I need to cut the odds…to distance myself fr ‘their game.” I am not a subsistance farmer like my dairy-farming grand- parents …but I am not a… Read more »
