This thing is a most complex theory in the realm of human psychology and many speakers on the subject who would be said to be expert on some particular specialization - well, they take various stances on what the concept really means and how it is applied in human social groups.
Now you can read a broad summary of the subject in your common Wiki entry, but for my own purposes right now I just want to note that often it is simply meant to label a way in which people trying to persuade others, employ emotions that are not necessarily the result of any linked up line of actual formal logic. And as an adjunct to that, there is also the view that some smart people try to create feelings of disturbance and 'un-quiet' by proposing some emotive consequence, but without what is usually thought of as a necessary set of linked logic sequences that would ordinarily lead to that feeling, yet by using assertive ways to communicate, 'force' those feelings all the same. Hence 'dissonance.' The outcome is not in harmony with the preconditions...

Some of you tend to lose interest when I start to post about seemingly unconnected things - consumer goods, exotic food or locations, that kind of thing, and all of a sudden when there is some underlined matter spoken about to do with the, usually underhanded behavior of some government agency or some private corporation, there is a quite clear spike in the numbers of 'views' on the site data summaries.
And that's a mistake on the part of some people because never will you find me jumping to these 'cognitive dissonance'-type cues and/or trigger articles that the media regularly is guilty of broadcasting.
Even the most covert of 'operations' is not carried out in a vacuum; there is always some antecedent, and some authentic cause and motivation.
'Cognitive dissonance' is principally used by fairly blunt political types and their marketing gurus and 'agencies' to INVALIDATE the electoral power-base's natural opinions and views; if they cannot find or make a logical sequence of facts that connects up to the feelings they are experiencing (and feelings simply MUST be valid, must they not; that is of course, the structure of the fallacy of this thing when maliciously employed), then it is because they ARE IGNORANT, NOT SUFFICIENTLY IN POSSESSION OF 'ELITE' AND RARE FACTS, and therefore must they hand their power over to whoever is vending them the idea that they are the sole source OF those 'confidential/exclusive/secret/privileged/whatever specious excuse' 'facts.'

Now, one of the main reasons I have this blog and seemingly 'indulge' in all kinds of what seems like wasteful consumerism and materialist talk, is that hiding inside many such things, are the people and the matters and motivations that you will end up truly desiring and needing to know about, and when you read this blog, over time you will see how important things really connect up logically together - whereas the media will often drop on you some thunderbolt from out of the blue that you had no prior warning or awareness of and that will literally attempt to feed you 'cognitive dissonance' so that you are unable to discern the 'hidden hand' - and from which vague and foggy sets of facts it is altogether too easy for people with ulterior motives to proffer causes of social and political evil like 'the Rothschilds,' or 'the Zionists' or 'the Muslims' or 'the Russians' or else the someone-whoever-it-is du jour.
For instance, 'Paul Manafort may have received $12.7 million in off-the-book funds from Viktor Yanukovych's Party of the Regions political group in the Ukraine.'
How 'may' have? Where does the 'may' have come into it? Who is claiming this?
How many times did anyone in the media alert anyone (especially at any time along the way) that Paul Manafort has been working for the Republican Party and the US government since as far back as Gerald Ford in the '70's?
Many people are speculating that all of this FBI apple-cart turn-over that has happened with the casting down of Comey, Brennan, Clapper - and the destruction of the political essay of Hillary Clinton, is really due to some group of people inside the CIA itself carrying out a 'palace coup' against those leaders of the 'Deep State' elite bureaucrats.

| Paul Manafort |
Apparently, Paul Manafort has been 'sent to jail' by a judge just now because Mueller's people are angry with the current state of play with their own coup d'etat against Donald Trump.
How many times before Flynn was even a household name did we say here he was a 'good guy?'
Try this on for size and tell me what you think it feels like... Paul Manafort is a deep cover CIA operative.
And with that in mind, perhaps we can now attend to what I really wish to push you into realizing - we are on the threshold of another 'Roaring Twenties.' And you have not seen that ANYWHERE before have you? Admit it.
Now if I'm right, and I am, what are you going to do NOW, to ensure that you have a head-start on the party.
