there are multiple layers to the pyramid of control. faces on TV are the lowest tier (actually, the face in the mirror is tier zero, and the most gullible, imho. today, ignorance is the #1 problem, because all the information is widely available and distributed.). the top-level social engineers have supreme understanding of human psychology & physiology. they also have knowledge of and access to the latest technology that can alter physiology & psychology.

to these psychopaths we are nothing but rats in an experiment - the best we can do is stay away from the epicenters of this power projection (like big cities, tech hubs & towers), and avoid consuming food-drink-air-drugs that dumb down consciousness.
