The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, and our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of…. It is they who pull the wires that control the public mind.
Edward Bernays
Our side refers to the media as “fake news”. While catchy, the accurate terminology for news in the country is propaganda. The father of propaganda is Edward Bernays. While Nazi Germany’s propaganda campaign was modeled on Bernays’ principles, most people do not know that its inception under Bernays was developed and implemented by Woodrow Wilson’s administration.
Bernays’ book detailing propaganda was appropriately called Propaganda. Joseph Goebbels’ success using those techniques was copied by Joe Biden this past week as I wrote in Delusional Democrats. The circle is now complete as the Deep State’s propaganda plan is out in the open as implemented under our first progressive president.
Recognizing the truth is a necessary step in recognizing evil. We can label the two sides fighting for the future of our country in many ways but the reality is that this war is the same as all wars involving God. This war is between good and evil. Choose wisely because ignorance will not be an excuse on Judgment Day.
David DeGerolamo
There used to be a Federal Law that proscribed the U.S. Gov. from using propaganda on or against American citizens. Wouldn’t you know, it was repealed during Obama’s first term, July 17, 2013.
