The Wires that Control the Public Mind

[smmclaug75]

I wonder if any self-interested public relations activity has ever been engaged in by EPA regulators, climatologists, public health organizations like the CDC, anti-smoking groups, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, unions, and gun control groups? Listening to this guy talk, you'd never know it, and I'd bet my next paycheck his organization spends no time exposing it.  His examples are so one-sided that all I can say is, "Your agenda is showing, pal."

[jacmunbong]

brilliant.thank u

[imacooldude506]

I cannot believe this guy went to Princeton, he seems like a complete idiot. Maybe hes just really nervous, but jesus.

[xjaskix]

amazingly informative video.. 27k views. good job humanity.

[tzmmdcom]

Administration of any system goes by transmitting/receiving information into/from that system.

[Licmycat]

I'm sorry, but I am very upset with all the lies mixed with truth out there that have confused us ALL at one time or another. And our leaders in every possible 'issue' or 'belief' in America have been fed the lies too. PlZ, forgive my screaming...

[Licmycat]

And this is bullshit about smoking!!! You don't see no animals dying from cancer from their owner's smoking!!!! Second-hand smoke my ass, who the fuck r u??? Little lies mixed with truth as USUAL??

[Licmycat]

Ur smoking part is not good. You have no excuse about the women who chewed tobacco in the old days! That's bullshit! My grandma chewed, don't say nothing about her! Men was ONLY allowed to smoke in old days that shoulda got their penis's chopped off! Baby pedophiles lots of them!!

[Licmycat]

Btw; now I know who those filthy guys that cuss me work for....they don't like people who think and learn for themselves!

[Licmycat]

If I hear anyone using one of those perverted words to my face; I'm gonna smash their freaky nose and rip at least ONE of t heir eyes out of their head!

[sunburstskater]

Why is there a desperate need for control in both gov. And public maybe me asking is a side affect of fluoride lol

[MagiMysteryTour]

Although Rampton is nearly stuttering through this video, he spontaneously responds to the audience's questions for the last 20 minutes very well and articulately.

[imacooldude506]

@MagiMysteryTour not true at all. hes terrible the whole way through

[MagiMysteryTour]

What he says at 52:50 is exactly what has happened. Look how quickly YouTube went from being this optimistic hope for democratization of media (2005), to being dominated by the big corporations that were always in control of media anyhow and now dominate here. And the same is true for the internet in general, it's become dominated by advertising and mas marketing, which people hoped in the 1990s the internet would liberate us from.

[MagiMysteryTour]

EVERYTHING SHELDON RAMPTON SAYS IN THIS TALK IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH.

The world's crude oil reserves rankings: #2 Iraq, #5 Iran, #8 Libya. Look at TODAY'S headlines and how they connect with these facts about oil, and how the news and the government twist the reality to get the sheep (Bernays was CORRECT) to believe it's about anything but oil. And just look at the world map (use Google) to see why we're REALLY in Afghanistan: it's to blockade Iran (#5 oil reserves country) on both sides.

[OdoubleTO]

The speaker struggles throughout and @ 0:32:01 he even farts : /

Good information though!

[deadadelta]

This Gentleman has Given out some Good INFORMATION

[deadadelta]

Bernays was used to sell adding Fluoride to the Water see Book The FLUORIDE DECEPTION or Interview of Award Winning Journalist BRYSON on wwwFluorideActionnet

Tons of Sodium Fluoride was Found at Each of HITLERS Camps, Immediately after WW11 they wonted to give it to American Soldiers, Gen PATTON Refused to give it to his Soldiers

[deadadelta]

Sodium Fluoride kills the Ability to FEEL LOVE, Soldiers get High Dose, over 25% of Homeless are VETERANS Many Commit SUCIDE

Fluoride a Toxin makes many FEEL BAD so they Turn to DRUGS & ALCOHOL to FEEL BETTER, 82% of the People in PRISON were using Drugs or Alcohol when they commited their CRIME

[deadadelta]

As long as the American People have a TOXIN in their Brains it will be difficult for most to understand

This TOXIN was uused by HITLER to keep People like WALKING DEAD, see Book FLUORIDE THE DEVILS POISON, also Eustace Mullins

Helping cause 41% CANCER, 1/3 DEPRESSED, 4mil + have NO MIND LEFT other Health Problems watch Film PROFESSIONAL PERSPECTIVES at wwwFluorideActionnet, & Alertorg,

To Wake up take Pure WATER & MAGNESIUM see Scientist on youtube film=georgeeby

[deadadelta]

@deadadelta Before America got into VIETNAM it was the Main DRUG Route for the JESUITS, also called Golden Triangle, see 1,800 Pages of Evidence Compiled in google or youtube VATICAN ASSASSINS

During Vietnam they flew out Drugs with Dead Bodies of Soldiers on Air-America

Col BO GRITZ brought back proof on Film, after Nam they set up Drug Operation in South America see book by ex-CIA TATUM CHRONICLES, Barry Seals, Oliver North IranContra, Bill Moyers SECRET GOVERNMENT, 28 Year Det MIKE RUPPERT,

[kzm86]

wish the guy knew how to present better, had to make an effort to get thru the whole thing.... although z topic is of high personal interest!

[dutytocareforothers]

The speaker looks extremely nervous. lol. 

[RedVynil]

THANK YOU so VERY much for calling it Sept. 11th instead of "nine eleven", or "nine one one"!!!!! I've NEVER heard anyone call Pearl Harbour, "twelve seven" or, "one two seven"!!!!

[sparkloweb]

There is also a clear bias in the type of PR that Rampton & co. choose for scrutiny, but at least it's a start.

[klaptongroovemaster]

It was interesting to hear a question at the end, and references to the Bay Area, as if PR lying is something that only Fox News does, or that only "conservatives" fall victim to. Bullshit is a bi-partisan business.

[neuralsignal]

This is not the world we live in? But this is the world we live in. The engineering or manufacturing of consent or doubt. The thing I call the Tea Birchers are a perfect example. Fred Koch helped form the John Birch Society in 1958 to divert attention from the fact that he built much of Russia's oil infrastructure before WWII. His son David H. Koch (pronounced coke) financed the Tea Party and Americans For Prosperity which provides buses & signs with all the woirds spoiled connectly.

[ACIMessentials]

MY HERO!

THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO!!!

[TreesOfBaylor]

bleep bloop I am robot for watching youtube video

[cozyfoxstudio]

New speak? You mean like political correctness? 1984 is based on communism.

[swiftnesscents86ish]

@cozyfoxstudio false

[cozyfoxstudio]

@swiftnesscents86ish  George Orwells 1984 is based on the Solviet Union you idiot.

[swiftnesscents86ish]

@cozyfoxstudio although im sure your not as shallow as you appear in this thread, on surface yes the book is about the solviet union but in meaning it is about a totalitarian society and clearly communist are not that....you lose sir....i enjoyed the exchange we should do this again sometime....over and out

[cozyfoxstudio]

@swiftnesscents86ish OHHH. So its about the USSR but not communism and I am shallow for not realizing that communism is actually good. You sir are a total fucking moron. I enjoyed listening to your polite yet retarded comments and will be glad to do it again. Thank you.

[TTTopGun]

Just wanted to know what was the military film shown in the middle of this where the guy draws a circle on the big section in the middle. anyone know?

[superdiza]

This guy talks about spins and massive public perception control for profit, and yet fails to forsee how global warming turns out to be a scientific-political and the global-financial scam of the century.

I mean, all of these 50's examples are great, but today's propaganda (and Obama's "Internet conspiracy censorship") is much mor extensive.

Did he see the NWO, or can not talk about it..?

[TezzRah]

This man is a hero.

:)

[Jefferdaughter]

The problem - perhaps obviously - with the term 'biosolids' is that so much of what is in the stuff is not biological in origin. (Drug residues taht have gone through humand, petro-chemical household cleaners, etc).

[shootdashit]

it's really unfortunate that he can't speak well or didn't practice this well. he seems like a really good dude but i coudn't finish this in one sitting as he constantly had to go back and fix something he said while trying to make a point. very good information though.

[rh7onda7]

what about just being able to appreciate one guy's sincere wish to communicate the truth

we watch enough BS from people like Obama all the time

[shootdashit]

you mistook my critique as not being appreciative. 1st, i call him a good guy. 2nd, i state that i actually couldn't finish it in one sitting. meaning, i actually came back to the info that i also stated is good info. should lead a reader to think it's worth a view.

i of course appreciate the message, but what good is it if more don't hear it? being helpful helps.

you prove my point by bringing up obama. you're correct that he sales BS. BS that people buy, because? he can speak well publicly.

[superdiza]

1.We will censor internet conspiracy theories.

2.We will print 2.3 Trillion dollars to support our banker friends and our war of terror.

3.We are planning to expand our colonies to include Pakistan and Yeman.

4.Stay scared, stay separated.

5.God bless America, Thank you

[bigballs5555]

very interesting and important, the speaker could benefit from a couple of speech classes though

[Danielsgirl2009]

snoozer

[SounzNice]

boring

[NPRCVI]

"The Web is an extraordinary research tool. In my own experience, research that used to require a half day at the library can now be accomplished typically in a couple of minutes of less. This has enormous and obvious benefits for advancing beneficial technologies, but it can also empower those whose values in inimical to the mainstream of society. So are we in danger? The answer is clearly yes. How much danger, and what to do about it, are subjects of this chapter." Ray Kurzweil

[cycimian]

Good obsevation. indeed theres been nothing through out history that can touch the internet as to choices and content. But i have noticed the censoring of people these last 2 years. For the most part all they were doing was speaking the truth. Like Dr Ron Paul in how dureing the election unless you had the internet he was invisible in the mainstream media.What YT is become is a slightly more liberal version of Mainstream (CFR) regs. We can be our own censors and follow or lead in life.

[didjabringadidjalong]

True, the net does serve us a lot of information in a matter of minutes, but how accurate is that info compared to the info in the library, censoring aside? Wiki isn't the most reliable source and is in some cases frightingly biased and inaccurate. And anybody can be an authority nowadays, just put up a website.

With the enormous uprise in information, it has become harder to weed out the sludge and end up with reliable and factual info. The (willfull) ignorance this spawns is equally dangerous.

[holypenguinofd4rct1c]

You do realize there are other encyclopedias available online other than Wikipedia, right?

[didjabringadidjalong]

ýea, but the same applies, user generated content isn't the most reliable source. there are a few though that are pretty good.

The best however are printed ones.

[ronmamita]

Great lecture!

Convincing individuals (of how effective public manipulation is by public relations firms) is difficult, however, presenting facts as in this lecture can manage to shake up the individual's misconceptions.

[Mistform]

that was really informative,

I'll try to spread it around.

[giash2]

Outstanding talk!

thank you

[exador23]

Those who liked this knowledge into the seedy underbelly of PR should watch the BBC documentaries The Century of Self

[sadunkal]

Yep. I recommend it too.

[bill0756]

very good, it seems one google employee was the impetus for this speaker.  Smart guy.

[soloni33]

pretty cool

[AClarke2007]

Just Eat Plain Bread & Drink Spring Water then you know you`re safe from PR!

[EDvining]

If I'm already living in the matrix, I want to be able to do all the cool stuff too.

[EDvining]

50 people at his seminar for one evening vs. over 3300 in 8 days on youtube pretty much proves his last point.

interesting stuff, thanks for sharing!

[WEREFEAT]

The campaign against racism is a manipulated opinion. It is a Marxist subversion.

No one is equal to anyone else. No race is equal to any other race.

But, there are overlaps.

On average, the concept of the best human model leads to a logical discussion if you can stand it.

Individuals prevail.

[xwmgsdbzwx]

only problem with that line of thinking is that individuals are influenced by social groups and media groups, so individuals are most of the time merely reflecting what that group thinks. Very few think critically and for themselves.

[SeventhSun]

Exactly.

[superdiza]

yea man, I agree too!

:)

[unlistedoo7]

@xwmgsdbzwx Yes very true and all this Google Tech Talk revolves around swaying people in collecting DNA data from everyone so their all in a main frame data base computer, so they can have everything about you in a computer file even you're thoughts just like in Minority Report or Gataca... TOTALITARIANISM at its best again...

[smmclaug75]

@xwmgsdbzwx Is what you just posted also merely a reflection of conditioning by your social group? After all, it's not original--in fact it's quite conventional. So should we believe it when you say it, or should we assume it's merely a reflection of a society which takes behavioral psychology to be true?

[skryker]

Very interesting

[ByteSmasher]

This video needs to spread.

[AClarke2007]

Yes, he`s a great Amphibian between Mike Yarwood

and Harry Enfield isn`t he?
