Propaganda Makes the World Go Round

Propaganda is the deliberate, systematic attempt to shape perceptions, to manipulate thoughts and behaviors in order to achieve a response that furthers the desired intent of the propagandist. This is a direct appeal to our emotions.

In our modern society, we live, eat, and breath propaganda daily in order to mold our inner desires to be those of corporate America. Propaganda is one of the main tools that the New World Order has learned to use to shape and control the human population. It went from controlling an individual, to controlling the family, to controlling the world and all who live in it.

For example, The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is an international organization attempting to dictate the lives of your children while at the same time masking its self behind a clever name that indicates that it is actually a good thing. The UN has historically used propaganda in order paint itself as an organization bent on helping people when in reality they have shown the exact opposite.

The father of modern propaganda is Edward Louis Bernays who was born in 1891 and died in 1995. He took the use of propaganda and showed the elites of his time and thus our time how they could use it to control society for their own personal gain.

Edward saw society as having a herd mentality. As the pioneer of the public relations industry he used psychology and other social sciences to design public persuasion campaigns. For example, while working for the American Tobacco company he sent a group of young models to march in the 1929 New York parade.

He then told the press a group of women rights supporters were going to light torches of freedom in the parade. On his signal his girls lit up cigarettes in front of the eager photographers. The New York Times, falling for his clever plan, printed and posted the groups picture. This in turn helped the women's rights movement as well as the tobacco company by lifting the ban that prevented women from smoking in public. Bernays manipulated the public opinion by manipulating the public’s subconscious.

The New World Order has mastered the conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses and in turn they have learned to use these elements to control us. Whats important to remember is that 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 molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested largely by men we have never heard of.

As Edward Bernays said ” In almost every act of our daily lives whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct, or our ethical thinking we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons who understands the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.”

In todays modern society we are subjected to propaganda to a point where at least half the population is completely brainwashed. To brainwash is to indoctrinate so intensively and thoroughly as to effect a radical transformation of beliefs and ones mental attitude. An example of this that we can see in modern America is when, we the people, allowed our government to create The Patriot Act which in turn lead to the formation of the Division of HomeLand Security. These have caused a radical change in our government that has lead to the remolding of our Constitution and the violation of our Rights.
