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. ~Edward Bernays
[Auth note] Any manipulation of “the masses,” intelligent or otherwise, is the antithesis of a democratic society. It is a form of tyranny, and a key element in any totalitarian regime.
As I wrote in Part I totalitarian regimes cannot succeed in taking over a democratic society without the support of the people. Maintaining an atmosphere of constant fear is the most useful strategy for controlling large segments of any population. This can only be accomplished by creating an endless string of manufactured crises. It began at the end of WWII with the Cold War and the threat of mutually assured destruction due to nuclear attack. Since then it’s been one false flag after another and a gradual systemic decrease of our constitutional rights -- the Patriot Act and NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) to name two.
But people have to first be programmed to accept the tyranny that follows these false crises. This is why control of the educational system is essential. Before the educational system became nationalized by the Carter administration in 1979 local school boards made educational policy with oversight by state governments. This ended with the establishment of the US Department of Education and educational policy was effectively turned over to the NEA -- the national teacher’s union -- one of the most powerful lobbying groups in Washington taking the power away from parents and local school boards.
One lesson learned from the MKUltra program is that the younger the subject the more thorough the outcome. As CIA-connected psychologist B.F. Skinner asserted: “Give me a child and I’ll shape him into anything.” Since 1979 the educational system has been used to indoctrinate children to support the globalist agenda. K-12 indoctrinates and college radicalizes. The majority come out of the K-12 system brainwashed into accepting having their rights systemically taken away in exchange for “security,” safe from illusory manufactured threats. Even factoring in free and critical thinkers, the vast majority fall for the security con.
"For example, education is designed to teach the individual a limited range of technical functions intended to help create, maintain but essentially serve the emerging technocratic tyranny (as it supersedes the existing version of industrial capitalism), make the individual a passive consumer and politically submissive, while ensuring that an intelligent mind capable of seeking out relevant evidence for themselves, critiquing society and responding powerfully does not develop."

Getting into college used to be difficult, now all anyone needs is the price of admission. The university system -- much of which is controlled by Tavistock Institute -- creates an army of totalitarian activists.
In 1995 Carl Sagan wrote: “I have a foreboding of [a] time when… awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.”

The mass media and Big Tech have teamed up to control the flow of information, for the most part to people who have already been programmed by the educational system making them easy marks. Most people still get their information from television news and those who have turned to the internet are seeing what Google, Youtube, Facebook and Twitter want them to see. As Sagan said, our critical faculties are in decline and people have a difficult time distinguishing what is true from what is false.
The entire broadcast media -- news, entertainment, music -- are all controlled by the CIA Mockingbird media. “‘The CIA and the media are part of the same criminal conspiracy,’ wrote Douglas Valentine in his important book, The CIA As Organized Crime.”
“This is true. The corporate mainstream media are stenographers for the national security state’s ongoing psychological operations aimed at the American people, just as they have done the same for an international audience. We have long been subjected to this “information warfare,” whose purpose is to win the hearts and minds of the American people and pacify them into victims of their own complicity, just as it was practiced long ago by the CIA in Vietnam and by The New York Times, CBS, etc. on the American people then and over the years as the American warfare state waged endless wars, coups, false flag operations, and assassinations at home and abroad.”

Between television, radio, the internet, etc. we are constantly bombarded by information, the vast majority of which is controlled by the CIA and the institutions it represents such as Tavistock Institute and other NGOs such as the Gates and Rockefeller Foundations. Being constantly bombarded by an information overload causes a sort of empathy fatigue driven by frustration. There’s nothing we can do about any of the constant stream of bad news disseminated by the media so we just give up. Politicians constantly promise to “fix” things, but they do nothing causing people to become cynical.
“In one sense, the answer to this question might seem simple. People are daily bombarded with ‘information’, in various guises, and a lifetime of submissively accepting what they are told leaves few with any inclination, or energy, to question anything. But let me offer a fuller explanation given the critical importance of this issue if we are to mobilize an effective response to the challenges confronting humanity.”
“So first: What is propaganda? A false flag attack? Why do most people simply believe what they are told without investigating, carefully, for themselves? And why are those who challenge the elite-driven narrative often labeled ‘conspiracy theorists’ or, depending on the issue, some other pejorative such as ‘peddling debunked science’, ‘anti-vaxxer’ or ‘anti-semitic’ for example?”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/why-do-most-people-believe-propaganda-false-flag-attacks/5728975
Most people have an inherent need to fit in, to be left alone to live their lives of quiet desperation. Even if they don’t believe the propaganda, they’re too afraid to speak up. The elites know this all too well, in fact they depend upon it. However, having been programmed since childhood, many believe the propaganda -- after all, our elected representatives wouldn’t lie to us would they?
“Trust Us, We’re Experts! How Industry Manipulates Science and Gambles with Your Future, a book which Robert F. Kennedy Jr. observes ‘shows how giant corporations employ sophisticated psychiatric techniques, unscrupulous public figures, junk science, tainted studies and clever PR mercenaries in a relentless effort to market products that routinely kill, maim, deform and poison consumers and our environment’.”
“Propaganda is delivered by a variety of means. Aside from that issued, in various ways, by governments and corporations, propaganda is delivered by education systems as ‘knowledge’, by the corporate media as ‘news’ and by the entertainment industry as films, television programs, video games, music, literature and in other forms. But all propaganda is designed to instill and reinforce a limited set of fears, approved beliefs and endorsed behaviours so that the ‘individual’ responds submissively within the carefully managed system of elite political, social and economic control.”

Little by little, not only have our rights been stripped away, our ability to resist the tyranny has been eroded by social engineers whose expertise is in creating fear-based mass psychosis. This was the purpose of the MKUltra program, not to program individuals but to find techniques that would work on entire societies. The field of psychology that deals with this is known as Social Relations and it includes public relations and the use of propaganda. With the advent of televisions and now the internet the stream of propaganda disseminated is constant and unrelenting.
Since the 1960s there has been a cultural war in America pitting one group against another -- the old “divide and conquer” technique -- all of it managed by the CIA. The goal is to create so much division that people will beg for order, the first step on the road to totalitarianism.
“For those who read and study history, it has long been known that the CIA has placed their operatives throughout every agency of the U.S. government, as explained by Fletcher Prouty in The Secret Team, The CIA and Its Allies in Control of the United States and the World; that CIA officers Cord Myer and Frank Wisner operated secret programs to get some of the most vocal exponents of intellectual freedom among intellectuals, journalists, and writers to be their voices for unfreedom and censorship, as explained by Frances Stonor Saunders in The Cultural Cold War and Joel Whitney in Finks, among others; that Cord Myer was especially focused on and successful in “courting the Compatible Left” since right wingers were already in the Agency’s pocket.”
“With the rise of alternate media and a wide array of dissenting voices on the internet, the establishment felt threatened and went on the defensive. It therefore should come as no surprise that those same elite corporate media are now leading the charge for increased censorship and the denial of free speech to those they deem dangerous, whether that involves wars, rigged elections, foreign coups, COVID-19, vaccinations, or the lies of the corporate media themselves. Having already banned critics from writing in their pages and or talking on their screens, these media giants want to make the quieting of dissenting voices complete.”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/opening-the-cias-can-of-worms/5737393
In essence the elites are attempting to create a monopoly on information. After all, where, besides television and the internet, are people going to go for information? If they and their Big Tech compatriots successfully censor opposing voices they will have essentially won. People are also inherently lazy so how many are actually going to dig for the truth, even though we’re at a point in history where the truth is essential?
Glen Greenwald and Matt Taibi wrote about Big Tech censorship:
“First, the corporate media have today divided up the territory and speak only to their own audiences in echo chambers: liberal to liberals (read: the “allegedly” liberal Democratic Party), such as The New York Times, NBC, etc., and conservative to conservatives (read” the “allegedly” conservative Donald Trump), such as Fox News, Breitbart, etc.”
“Secondly, the great call for censorship is not something the Silicon Valley companies want because they want more people using their media since it means more money for them, but they are being pressured to do it by the traditional old school media, such as The New York Times, who now employ “tattletales and censors,” people who are power hungry jerks, to sniff out dissenting voices that they can recommend should be banned. Greenwald says:”
“They do it in part for power: to ensure nobody but they can control the flow of information.
They do it partly for ideology and out of hubris: the belief that their worldview is so indisputably right that all dissent is inherently dangerous ‘disinformation.’”
“Thus, the old school print and television media are not on the same page as Facebook, Twitter, etc. but have opposing agendas.”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/opening-the-cias-can-of-worms/5737393
What Greenwald and Taibi have overlooked is that most of the Silicon Valley tech giants got their startup money either from DARPA or the CIA’s In-Q-Tel. They don’t get to set their own agendas, they go along with what they are told, and are making a fortune doing so.
In their ongoing effort to keep us “safe,” America has been turned into a surveillance state that constantly monitors our every move. I mentioned earlier the Patriot Act and NDAA, two pieces of legislation that not only stripped us of some of our most fundamental rights but gave the government carte blanche to take more away. First and foremost our right to privacy guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment. No totalitarian regime would be possible without the surveillance state and America now has one that would make Nazi Germany and the old USSR turn green with envy.
“Big Brother is watching you. Sadly, most people don’t realize how extensive the surveillance grid has now become. As you drive to work or to school, license plate readers are systematically tracking where you travel. In major cities, thousands of highly advanced security cameras (many equipped with facial recognition technology) are monitoring your every move. If authorities detect that you are doing something suspicious, they can quickly pull up your criminal, financial and medical records. Of course if they want to dig deeper, your phone and your computer are constantly producing a treasure trove of surveillance data. Nothing that you do on either one of them is ever private.”
And at the center of this unwarranted surveillance is of course Big Tech -- Google and the social media giants. Not only are they complicit in the ongoing censorship, they also provide your private data to the government and anyone else willing to pay for it. This is one reason that nothing ever comes from the congressional “investigations.” They’re all working for the same team. In fact they’ve streamlined the system.
“In the past, compiling all of that information would take a great deal of time. But now tech giants such as Microsoft, Motorola, Cisco and Palantir are selling “fusion systems” to governments all over the planet. These “fusion systems” can instantly integrate surveillance data from thousands of different sources, and this has totally transformed how law enforcement is conducted in many of our largest cities.”
Palantir is one of the more insidious of these organizations. As I wrote a couple of years ago, they’re the company that offers “pre-crime” data to large cities. New Orleans bought into it before public outcry made them discontinue the project over privacy concerns. The January 6 2021 “riots” in Washington DC were the perfect false flag to further implement the totalitarian agenda.
“That January 6 attempt by so-called insurrectionists to overturn the election results was not the real coup, however. Those who answered President Trump’s call to march on the Capitol were merely the fall guys, manipulated into creating the perfect crisis for the Deep State—a.k.a. the Police State a.k.a. the Military Industrial Complex a.k.a. the Techno-Corporate State a.k.a. the Surveillance State—to swoop in and take control.”
"It took no time at all for the switch to be thrown and the nation’s capital to be placed under a military lockdown, online speech forums restricted, and individuals with subversive or controversial viewpoints ferreted out, investigated, shamed and/or shunned. Indeed, the real coup happened when our government ‘of the people, by the people, for the people’ was overthrown by a profit-driven, militaristic, techno-corporate state that is in cahoots with a government ‘of the rich, by the elite, for the corporations.’”
Make no mistake, nobody profits more (no pun intended) from a totalitarian regime than the multinational corporations. In the 1930s a corporate takeover was attempted until it was thwarted by Gen. Smedley Butler who went on to warn of the military industrial complex in his book War is a Racket. “We the people” are up against a corporate sponsored behemoth that wants total control over every aspect of our lives. Anyone or anything that stands in their way will be destroyed. Now that China Joe Biden is in the White House we can expect a scorched earth policy against our rights and Covid-19 will be their most powerful tool.
As political science professor and author Bertram Gross wrote in 1980:
“…a new despotism creeping slowly across America. Faceless oligarchs sit at command posts of a corporate-government complex that has been slowly evolving over many decades. In efforts to enlarge their own powers and privileges, they are willing to have others suffer the intended or unintended consequences of their institutional or personal greed. For Americans, these consequences include chronic inflation, recurring recession, open and hidden unemployment, the poisoning of air, water, soil and bodies, and, more important, the subversion of our constitution. More broadly, consequences include widespread intervention in international politics through economic manipulation, covert action, or military invasion…”
Gross’ warning seems prophetic in this age of rapidly encroaching tyranny. He is also the thinker who coined the term “information overload,” described as: “Information overload occurs when the amount of input to a system exceeds its processing capacity. ... Consequently, when information overload occurs, it is likely that a reduction in decision quality will occur.” (From his 1964 work Managing Systems)
No people in their right mind would accept a totalitarian state if it was suddenly forced upon them, it took a steady drip, drip, drip of fear-laden propaganda beginning after WWII. Even then it’s difficult for people born in that era to accept the constant violence happening today. “How do you get a nation to docilely [sic] accept a police state? How do you persuade a populace to accept metal detectors and pat downs in their schools, bag searches in their train stations, tanks and military weaponry used by their small town police forces, surveillance cameras in their traffic lights, police strip searches on their public roads, unwarranted blood draws at drunk driving checkpoints, whole body scanners in their airports, and government agents monitoring their communications?”
“Try to ram such a state of affairs down the throats of the populace, and you might find yourself with a rebellion on your hands. Instead, you bombard them with constant color-coded alerts, terrorize them with shootings and bomb threats in malls, schools, and sports arenas, desensitize them with a steady diet of police violence, and sell the whole package to them as being for their best interests.”
About 25 years ago I coined a term, “Therapeutic Fascism,” predicting a totalitarian state in America all “for our own good.” It was in a chapter called “Entering the Age of Political Insanity” in a book I was writing in which the mass media and educational system would be used to brainwash people into accepting a police state. Now my worst fears for America have come to pass. In the name of “unity” and “tolerance” we are conceding our most sacred rights to a government that seeks only to enslave us. If you are a free or critical thinker and fail the political litmus test, you will be branded a “domestic terrorist.”
Those of us that remember the 1960s also remember that everything was about free speech and freedom of expression, from the anti-war movement to public nudity and the sexual revolution.Now that these same free speech advocates are in power they’re trying their hardest to deny the same rights they enjoyed -- the ones that allowed them to come into the power they now wield like an ax. The totalitarian state has no room for dissenting views so fragile is their network of lies. It must be enforced by a draconian police force as it was in the old USSR or modern day China. China is in fact the model of the surveillance state. Now the police state has come to America in the name of unity and tolerance.
“When information becomes a “threat”, even thinking the wrong thing can be dangerous. Over the past several weeks, I have heard the word “misinformation” uttered in the same sentence as “terror” or “terrorists” countless times. In the old days, the “extremists” and the “terrorists” were on the other side of the globe, but now we are being told that they live among us. So how can we identify them? Well, we are being told that “the bad guys” can be identified by what they believe. Those that do not embrace the propaganda that big tech and the corporate media are relentlessly pushing are being systematically “deplatformed”, “canceled” and pushed to the fringes of society. But apparently that is not nearly enough, because the New York Times is now asking for the Biden administration to appoint a “reality czar” that will be given authority to deal with “misinformation” and “extremism”.
In addition to a “reality czar” the Biden administration and many mass media “journalists” are also calling for a Ministry of Truth, a government department tasked with determining what is true and what is false. This from officials and media propagandists that haven’t told the truth in decades. As George Orwell prophetically wrote in 1984: “The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from ordinary hypocrisy. They are deliberate exercises in doublethink.”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/nyt-audacity-calling-us-ministry-truth/5736336
The totalitarian elites have deliberately hijacked words such as tolerance giving them meanings of their own devise. “For decades, the elite have been telling us that we need to have a “tolerant” society. But now that they have almost total control, we are being told that in order to have that tolerant society they must be extremely intolerant of dissenting viewpoints. They seem to have embraced a very radical form of the “paradox of tolerance”, and as a result our society is becoming more dystopian with each passing day.”
“In the end, they don’t have to put millions of people in prison to chill free speech in America. All they have to do is set a few examples and most others will willingly fall in line. It is all about behavioral conditioning. They want to shape what we do, what we say and what we think by creating fear. Fear is the mind killer. The elite understand that it is the best way to control large masses of people, and that is why they are continually looking for new ways to keep us in a constant state of fear. If you would like to see what this looks like, spend some time studying the Chinese system. In China, the government is so utterly dominant over the population that hardly anyone objects when “mandatory anal swabs” are implemented. Unfortunately, the U.S. is moving in the same direction very rapidly.”
So how do you define mass psychosis? I would call it the manipulation of a large number of people into believing something that’s false without ever questioning anything. Or a group of people that have been brainwashed like it happens in a cult. For perhaps the first time in America we are witnessing the cult of totalitarian governance where nobody is allowed to question the policies or motives of those behind the mounting tyranny.
America used to be a nation of rugged individualists who tamed the wilderness and carved out a place for themselves in a hostile environment. Now we have a generation of young adults that don’t even know which bathroom to use without being told by the government. Once again 1984 tells us: “(T)here were the directing brains who co-ordinated the whole effort and laid down the lines of policy which made it necessary that this fragment of the past should be preserved, that one falsified, and the other rubbed out of existence.”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/nyt-audacity-calling-us-ministry-truth/5736336
This is all being done on purpose to destroy America and our culture -- a part of the social engineering project begun decades ago by the global elites. “Big Media in cahoots with diabolical government officials censor and eliminate truth-telling on what’s vital for everyone to know.”
“What it called “the scourge of hoaxes, lies and delusions” are hard truths about US imperial wars, hazardous covid vaccines to be shunned, stolen Election 2020, unelected/cognitively impaired Biden unable to serve in any public capacity, the anti-Trump Jan. 6 Capitol Hill false flag, and other cutting-edge issues. A real “national reality crisis” exists because of Big Government in cahoots with Big Media – like the Times — serving privileged interests exclusively at the expense of most others. It’s because of US police state totalitarian rule on a fast track toward full-blown tyranny. It’s because the US no longer is open, free, and fair.”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/nyt-audacity-calling-us-ministry-truth/5736336
We are in real danger of losing all of the rights and freedoms we hold sacred and apparently few if any are willing to do anything about it. Slowly but surely those courageous enough to speak the truth will be weeded out and sent to “Covid quarantine camps,” or be tried as domestic terrorists and imprisoned suffering the same fate as Julian Assange. Totalitarian regimes feel no empathy or remorse, they are steeped in Marx’s “the end justifies the means.”
The time to summon your courage to make your voice heard is now before it’s too late. We are the majority, but if we wait we’ll all be hunted down and silenced. In 1776 a group of patriots -- a minority -- faced off against the greatest army on the face of the earth and sent them packing. But people had courage back then. America is being destroyed from within by a minority -- traitors who put self-interest ahead of their children’s future. If we don’t stop them now it will be too late. Once they have total power the wonderful experiment that was America will be over.
