  • Un volgare criminale

  • When I was a very young girl, I remember being told that the Germans made lamp shades from the skin off the Jews they killed.

  • he said "you're a bunch of fucking idiots" in front of them and they laugh.

  • This guy made a career as a top notch international liar who needlessly injured millions of people, yet he is celebrated as some sort of genius in some circles?????............now he's in eternity!

  • @ericjaynelson along with Hitler, Mao Zedong, and Pol Pot. Fuck Bernays

  • @PaleoAthletics : You've caused me to reexamine my first comment and I now see I was way too liberal with mr bernay. This guy lied and caused the public to accept fluoride as a cavity fighter; he lied and caused millions of women to start smoking, he lied and caused needless military actions.....and that's just the stuff we know about. This guy made untold millions lying to the public while causing the needless deaths of millions of innocent people.

  • MOAR!

  • this man is the real terrorist, bernays you will rembered by the people with a brain as one of the most motherfuckers in the world, die bitch

  • «During WWI, Bernays was part of the U.S. Committee on Public Information, that advertised and sold the war to the American people. The CPI was the blueprint in which marketing strategies for future wars would be based upon.» Two weeks after the U.S. joined WWI, a propaganda myth "The Corpse Factory" was launched, accusing the Germans of turning dead soldiers into fats and soap.

    Almost 30 yrs later, the Nurnberg tribunals happened to be organized by Bernays' brother-in-law, Murray Bernays.

  • @SteelShredd What is a soul? Has that had any affect on justice for the living in the past? Religion is the oldest form of control of the masses based on fear and morality and the concept of a soul is the encapsulation of the ego while the concept of God is the manifestation of the psychoanalysts who died long before Bernays and his ilk coined the term or modernized it for a consumer driven world of greed and instant gratification that religion can no longer satisfy.

  • Wow, do these people really know what a monster they are applauding?

  • @TheRickmurray you are right

  • He appearing on Letterman shows he is relaxing and having a fun of fun. Also probably having an exhibitionist streak.

  • WOW...his whole career was not 'father of marketing progranda' He was just a professional liar.

  • @mrdolike

    Goes to show a genius survives wherever he goes, be it to a capitalist or socialist society.

  • @Americant47 After all, one could use the example of how babies in the womb are transformed by non-radioactive substance use by the parent. The DNA remains the same, and yet, when those children have children they typically are born with the same defects. The structure of the DNA didnt change allegedly, so why was the phenotype which was separate from the genetic structure passed on? Perhaps the bodies ability to replicate its own DNA sexually becomes compromised. Thus, mutations.

  • @Americant47 That may not necessarily be true. After all truth is not absolute. Maybe the entire universe is a figment of your imagination. Perhaps living beings are merely illusions generated by your mind in its neverending quest to reaffirm its faith in its own reality. Perhaps we all say 2+2=4 because you subconsciously want us to do so. After all isnt fact itself based on completely arbitrary definitions?

  • @ColdCypher

    2 + 2 is of course ≥ 4 depending on efficient accounts and corrupt politicians.

    What an analogy.

    Also there has got to be a form of system for people to function and even progress in place.

  • @ColdCypher

    *accountants.

  • @Americant47 Well in response to the comment that failed to post, perhaps our idea of DNA is inaccurate. Perhaps its not SET in stone throughout the entirety of the individual life span. Perhaps it responds to the behavior of the individual. Perhaps the DNA is altered by exposure to the elements. Perhaps the DNA that exists within the reproductive cells is sensitive to the chemicals that are digested by the individual. After all

  • @Americant47 Which is why the concept of parallel "dimensions" really isnt so far fetched. The world of light is a universe unto itself. If I were to describe sight to someone who was born without eyes, they could not possibly grasp it. Therefore, a dimension that our sensory organs allow us access to. Perhaps we will develop other sensory organs in time. After all, look at the little earthworm. Can it hear? Can it see the world of light? Yet we both live at the same time on the same planet.

  • @ColdCypher

    This part is meaningful, but I am not confident the human race as hopeless as it has always been, is capable of evolution, like developing other sensory organs in time. Humankind often think too much that hinder its progress, and humans are often noted for coming up with complicated inventions that create more problems than solve them.

  • @SeventhSun As long as we remain individuals we remain identities. Our identities require affirmations of their own relative significance. Relative significance denotes preference. Preference gives birth to the notion of purity. Purity creates disparity. Disparity leads to suffering. This has always been the case and always will be as long as we remain conscious individuals.

  • @ColdCypher yes but being individuals with ideas and the need to affirm them doesn't mean we have to affirm our ideas imposing our view to the others, we have to know we are different form other and anybody as the truth in his hand and we have to live together respecting each other

  • @bellaliHc Tell that to the cynical and self serving political class.

  • @Americant47 That isnt entirely true. Thought requires reality. Reality requires the ability to sense its aspects. In our case, sensory organs. The information must travel through channels in order to accumulate. The notion of traveling requires the notion of distance. The more sensory organs we possess, the more sure we are of the existence of (x) (y) or (z). I know theres a sandwich next to me not only because I can see it, but because I can feel it, taste it, hear it when I ruffle the plastic

  • @Americant47 Or perhaps inorganic matter is the parent, and organic life the child? The prize? The purpose? Ultimately the child would surpass the parent and control it. What Ive been fussing over recently is why incomplete? Perhaps imperfection is the source of purpose. After all, why male and female when asexual production is possible? Perhaps life itself has not realized its full potential yet. Outside the realm of absolute power and understanding.

  • @Americant47 Perhaps life itself is god and collective memory is designed to keep us on the track to achieve omnipotence and omniscience. Would such a being grow tired of existing and thus once achieving such status, choose destruction and restart the process again in order to experience innocence, growth and beauty again? Perhaps. Is that entity limited to life alone though? Or does it extend into inorganic matter as well? If so would it really matter?

  • @Americant47 Well I think its an important point. What constitutes good anyways? Those who satisfy themselves at the expense of others are bad, those who go out of their way to deprive others of fulfillment are called evil, those who benefit others in the process of satisfying themselves are called good, and those who deprive themselves in order to benefit others are called righteous. The ant vs the colony argument. What makes the colony more important?

  • @Americant47 I believe that its either the will to survive or the will to power that enables life to exist. Emotion is the tool that keeps the individual in line, and collective memory enables us to recognize what must be done in order to achieve survival. After all, when did I ever learn what the notion of thirst was? After all, isnt the notion of thirst dependent upon the existence of a very specific external entity? How many times the will of life had to fail before it became instinct.

  • @Americant47 Of course we must remember that mankind itself is simply a vessel for the spark of life or will that essentially animates it. Well evidence points towards natural selection. Genetic mutations which are deemed favorable by the beings external environment, are allowed to be passed on and thus, eventually spread throughout the whole of a given species. I see technology as a very rapid form of evolution. One might as well ask the question why are we mortal?

  • @Americant47 One might say that they are the same thing. Corruption is essentially greed. The preference of satisfying the self over satisfying the majority. This will always be the case as demonstrated by the alleged "gravity" of the relatively "selfless" examples. Namely Christ, Buddha etc. Their significance speaks far more about what we are than what they were. The motivation to be righteous is one that should be analyzed and not simply taken as given.

  • @Americant47 The weapon of choice that has been recently wielded by the elite has been incrementalism. The majority will never risk a failed revolution over a single small change. Ever. In their cowardice they will NEVER put their foot down to the point of violence. They dont want the responsibility. They are INCAPABLE of risking consequence. They are INCAPABLE of sacrifice. Simply drones. Nothing more. Truly sheeple. Truly.

  • @ColdCypher @Americant47

    I was looking for Edward Bernays propaganda tips but found something a lot more interesting. Thanks for the great discussion, ironically taking place on youtube.

  • @Americant47 Really it boils down to laziness, ineptitude, and cowardice. These three things must be COMPLETELY overcome for a Utopian society to even have a chance. Equal ability, equal effort, equal beings. We must all be exactly the same. Would such a thing lead to nihilism and thus, destroy purpose and the will to live? The actual realization of such a dream could potentially have fatal consequences.

  • @Americant47 Then again, perhaps these natural laws exist as the result of an external will. Then again, if follow this train of thought it leads us into an infinite regression which certainly falls short of being satisfactory. What allowed the external will to have the ability to do so? Where did this will come from and so on. Our limited minds simply cannot wrap themselves around concepts akin to infinite. Our minds DEMAND patterns. Demand causation.

  • @Americant47 The notion of creation infers something out of nothing. This notion could more properly be called transference. After all all of the elements needed to construct a modern computer have always existed. It simply had not been done yet. The mutation of proximate composition simply hadnt taken place yet with US. If there is a creator, it is in all likelihood comparable to that of a natural law. Something along the lines of attraction and repulsion or of relative position and or motion.

  • @Americant47 I have a personal theory. If one were to perfect the cloning process, and create an artificial environment, and put the clones through the EXACT same experiences, to the wind slightly blowing past the right ear at 2:54:49:11 pm age 7 254th day , they would be COMPLETELY identical. Down to every particular element of virtually every single thought that has ever or will ever run through their mind.

  • @Americant47 Thought invocation is generated by ones environment. I might go so far as to define creation as simply a mutation of existing memory. Nothing is truly new if one accepts the theory that time is eternal. Its only new to us.

  • @Americant47 Then again, we dont TRULY know what motivated the founding fathers to shape the nation in the way they did. Perhaps it was shaped the way it was in order to empower it to the extent of dominating all other foreign powers which it eventually did. Perhaps it was in order to provide their posterity with a kingdom unrivaled in all of history. With technology advancing at the rate that it is, methods of permanently dominating the discontented may come out in our lifetime. Who knows.

  • @Americant47 We still live in a meritocracy. Even those who are allegedly at the top of the pyramid, types like Zbigniew Brezinski, Henry Kissinger, etc, worked their asses off to get where they were. Did they pander to get where they were? Of course. Then again its simply a prerequisite for those who werent lucky enough to inherit power. They must prove themselves worthy. There isnt enough wealth in existence to satisfy mankinds greed. Nor will there ever be. Its all a ponzi scheme.

  • @Americant47 Some people might counter and claim that the typical mentality has long been encouraged by elements within the establishment. Even if you accept that thesis as being true, who enabled them to get this far to begin with? A lack of interest is a lack of effort. A lack of effort and interest in the destiny of ones self. Laziness, apathy, and a general shirking of personal responsibility for ones own life. Children. They wonder why they are treated as such. Its blatantly obvious really.

  • @Americant47 The current political spectrum including the true establishment, is nothing other than a reflection of the effort that people typically put into themselves. If people cannot even act in their own best interest, let alone somebody elses, wheres the reasonable demand element regarding what people typically expect of their political leaders? They are like children. They want unlimited services, but dont want to be taxed. They want the government to take full responsibility for them

  • @Americant47 I think perhaps it depends on which side of "the fence" you see yourself being on. Breaking free of the herd mentality takes an unusual amount of willpower. An amount of willpower that is typically beyond the scope of your average person. There are countless examples of how easily the masses succumb to states of neurosis. "'100' top secrets to losing that extra weight". We've all seen it a million times. Here's the great secret - exercise and good eating habits. Enough said.

  • @Americant47 I never claimed that human nature did not contain a broad spectrum of possibilities. Accepting even the obvious fact that there are -almost- limitless variables that shape the exact genetic sequence of the individual in combination with the -almost- limitless variables that exist within ones environment that shape the inclinations of any given personality, what remains true is that at the most basic of levels we are almost completely identical.

  • @ColdCypher Its like the pot smoking "intellectual" who dreams of making it big someday. Never bothers coming up with a detailed plan, never bothers hedging his bets by formally educating himself, never bothers developing good habits such as consistency, punctuality, general reliability, and a good work ethic. Stays uninformed, gets loaded all day every day, makes excuses, wakes up one day in his 30's maybe later, and points the finger at the administration. Typical idle moron. Nothing more.

  • @ColdCypher Here I am at age 23, in my college library, doing some consumer surveys, watching some political vids on youtube, wondering how many times Ive run over this argument in my head already. Wondering when it will end. Wondering whether a third party will ever emerge, or if the youth of mainstream America will ever look at anything other than getting fucked or fucked up as being worthwhile. I doubt it. Good lord I hate this planet. So much potential that will never be realized. =(

  • @ColdCypher LOL I replied to myself during the last 2 posts. Even I find myself falling prey to auto-pilot at times. DAMN MY BRAIN!!!

  • @Americant47 Democracy leads to decadence, complacency, political paralysis, bankruptcy, and ultimately self destruction. America is going down the path that the Roman empire did during the times of its collapse. No system can last forever. Social structures must undergo dramatic and dynamic changes from time to time at a rudimentary level. Otherwise, a kind of dystrophy takes hold and total chaos becomes possible. The cultural body itself, in addition to the legal body, must be replaced.

  • @Americant47 You missed my point. There is a significant difference between representative democracy and direct democracy. The true trend setters are not our elected representatives. Namely, the primary economic and cultural establishment. Aka big business and its PR associates. Government simply regulates the sense of social justice and income redistribution. As long as the desire for power exists there will be corruption. The illusion of choice is what sustains our system at the moment.

  • @Americant47 The composition of society isnt based on probability. Its based on the composition of human nature. As long as that inherent nature remains fixed, so will the outcomes that follow. Pretty elementary really.

  • @Americant47 Your naive notions of direct democracy will never manifest themselves in the real world for any significant amount of time if at all ever.

  • @Americant47 Name a single kingdom that has lasted over 1500 years. Not even the Romans. Even the Egyptians had to alter the nature of their leadership in order to survive. The Japanese imperial dynasty is certainly the longest lived, but has been undoubtedly controlled by various external influences such as the shogunate over its lifespan. The USA will not exceed these records. What is generally considered to be "abuse" anyways is always a relative and arbitrary matter anyways. Childish thought

  • That's right sheeple! As long as i have initials in front of my name, YOU'LL BELIEVE ANYTHING I SAY! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  • @Anon371 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • he gave us PR (propaganda) & his grandfather (freud) gave us psychoanalasis, what a joy it must of been to be a child in that family

  • stalin and churchill round the same table or am I deluded?? I didn't know about this cnut bernays until today but had indirectly heard of his crap before. Like his uncle he shoulda paid more interest to female genitalia and less to control of the masses and the bastard lived to 103...argh...there is no justice

  • @MsGORGONS ...and he lived up to 103! hahaha

    there's been a lot of control. On the other hand, I think that we've learned how NOT to be controlled by the media, (or should I call "programming tool", instead of "media"?)

  • @danilo137 well I'd like to think that but look what happened with the OIL SPILL fiasco in the gulf of Mexico...complete blackout over who was doing what...then the people watched the dead fish reached the surface of the murky waters...if this ain't an example of information control I dunno what is...facebook anyone? for more mass control...

  • @danilo137 programming tool... is more precise. i think

  • @MsGORGONS No, there is No Justice! Unless you believe in the "Supreme Kangaroo Court"!!!  I hope they used a "Silver Stake" on this Bastard! & have the same for his successor "Karl (KKK!) Rowe!!! May they both "Rot In Hell"!!! Sorry to see Letterman is part & parcel to this MACHINE!!! WHAT A "TOOL"!!!

  • @MsGORGONS There is justice & noone will escape it, it's just waiting on our soul...

  • Public relations is Public relations (lets give propaganda a more positive name)

    Public relations = Propaganda

  • Listen to all the morons applauding one of the creators of this mess we call Western society.

  • @WOGI5M Pardon? It seems it is the morons who are using the technological wonders of Western society to proclaim how horrible all of it is.

    If irony makes you chuckle, there's plenty to laugh at here.

  • @DrCruel Mate, Edward BerneY was one of the pioneers in manipulating masses. All societies made technological feats. I agree that Western SocietY has made some great technological breakthroughs, but that is no thanks to this man.

  • @WOGI5M Bernays was one of the pioneers in responding to public wants and needs. The old idea, which the regressive Left is trying to bring back, is that people are too stupid to make their own decisions and need an aristocracy to manage their lives for them. This is the sort of mindset that helps people think of the public as "masses".

    If you must go after people who have tricked and screwed over the public, why not mention a few Marxist leaders? There are plenty of these weasels.

  • @DrCruel Wrong , bernays didn't respond to peoples wants and needs, Look at how he got women to start smoking. Look at how he got people to eat bacon and eggs for breakfast. The dude played on peoples desires, made them want stuff they didn't need.

  • @farttalk45 The market responded to peoples wants and needs. In the early part of the 20th century, cigarettes were thought to be healthy, and women wanted to smoke for the same reasons they wanted to vote. No one "tricked" them into it.

    Free markets are the most effective means of meeting people's wants and needs. Socialism treats people like farm animals; thus the animosity for consumer goods that practiucally all socialists seem to have. Free thinking peasants are much harder to manage eh?

  • @DrCruel I beg to differ doctor Mengele

  • Actually you beg to troll, by the looks of it.

    I haven't forwarded any theories. What I've voiced are well known facts, based on overwhelming evidence. Making obscene comments about survivors of the Armenian genocide won't change that reality.

  • bernays exemplifies one very important aspect of fascism...the notion that "the masses" are too stupid to be trusted.

    People aren't stupid, they are ignorant.

    Given the facts, and solid evidence, most 'educated' people make very reasonable choices.

  • Watch Video Edward Bernays Enemy of Democracy . He's truly one of the most WICKED , Arrogant and manipulative creatures ever to have slithered (no offense to Reptiles)on this planet .

  • @franz909 I admit, if you're a college Marxist with a dream for world domination, people like Bernays have really screwed you over. With the high standards of living that are common to consumer cultures, it is virtually impossible to convince people living in them that they ought to let some half-baked self-appointed communist aristocrat cadres from the ISO run things into the ground.

    Pardon if I don't express any sympathy.

  • Liberalism has been co-opted by a certain faction of despot wannabees, who use conspiracy theories and lunatic ideologies to press their cause. I have too much respect for the judgement of the public's judgement to have any respect for the ideologies of these self-appointed "guardians of humanity".

    If you want to know more about fascism, Wilsonian "liberalism", etc, read "Liberal Fascism" by Jonah Goldberg.

  • @DrCruel you respect the publics judgement? hahahaha

  • @farttalk45 Your condescending disdain for the public's right to decide the course of their own lives is hardly sufficient cause for me to adopt your fascist views.

    Sorry. No sale here.

  • lol couldn't have put it simpler and easier to understand :)

  • "All the world is a stage!" William Shakespeare (AKA ... Sir Francis Bacon)

  • Fantastic exhange below!! It never ceases to amaze me how so called "educated" and "intelligent" people do not realise that the pantomime played out by politicians of all parties is nothing but a distraction from the real structural problems in society caused by the greed of the elite vested interests.

    Power and control are the real issues, not conservative or liberal ideologies. Wake up people.

  • @l1bel , You're completelly right, friend. We're waking up for the left - right paradigm theater that the elite plays.

    And it's beautifull to see that.

    People arguing and learning how things work.

    By the way, the bilderberg meeting is going to be in spain this year and I wonder how big is going to be the protests this time.

  • @danilo137 Absolutely. There has never been greater access to informatio than there is right now and it seems more and more people are making the most of that. I just hope it's enough and in time! Thanks for the heads up re the Spain meeting. I hope Alex jones turns up with his megaphone!

  • In his autobiography Bernays discusses a dinner at his home in 1933 where, "Karl von Weigand, foreign correspondent of the Hearst newspapers, had just returned from Germany, and was telling us about Goebbels and his propaganda plans to consolidate Nazi power. Goebbels had shown Weigand his propaganda library. Goebbels, said Weigand, was using my book 'Crystallizing Public Opinion' as a basis for his destructive campaign against the Jews of Germany."

    Research it yourself, fool.

  • And that, dear friends, is how you bait and decapitate an idiot. :)

  • I'm plenty wise, thank you very much - and resent people who know less than I do telling me that I'm stupid or ignorant for not swallowing some old Leftist ideological line of bullshit. There is a great deal of difference between what Bernays did in the US and what socialists like Goebbels or Stalin were doing in Leftist countries.

    This country was at its strongest when people like Bernays were in their prime. It's weakest now, and steadily weakening, with Leftist sympathizers in power.

  • You are wise, yet you insist on bringing 'leftism' into this discussion. I am not a Liberal nor a Democrat. You're obsessed with the concepts of left and right that people (using 'public relations') have forced you to swallow. They have replaced your brain with a prefab concept which allows you to skip the thinking and reasoning process. Divide and conquer. Create an environment where conflict is the goal not resolution.

    You're a pathetic tool. Seriously.

    Go lay down and rot.

  • Because I am wise, I bring the Left into the discourse - because it is their ideology that demonizes the vocation of capital investment and the practice of commerce and trade. Despising merchants makes no sense outside of the context of Marxist mythology. As for "Rightism", that seems little more than an epithet of Leftists - there is no "Rightist" ideology, only enemies of the Left so declared as such.

    You're being a jerk. And I don't buy your crapola, because it's incoherent.

    Grow up.

  • I am a merchant. I worked as a farmer for the first 10 years of my adulthood. I do dispise the corporatization which have forever changed agriculture from a hundreds of years old tradition into a world of exploitation and waste. Corporate agribusiness machine that has put so many hardworking honest men out of work it's sick.

    Can't compete with a machine that produces year round in Mexico and beyond while we're still tied to the soil. We import produce while our farmers sell their tractors.

  • So while you point fingers at the left from the shores of your ideology, real Americans suffer. Corporate greed plunders other countries and cripples our nation's ability to stand on its own two feet. Luckily, they had Bernays to pave the way for them to do so whilst enshrouding themselves in propaganda.

    To confuse the concept of the limited liability corporation with the ideals of classical mercantilism exposes your lack of understanding. You are your own enemy in this discussion.

  • A hundred million corpses have washed up on those shores from the lands of the Marxists. I think I have sufficient justification for complaint.

    I would rather put up with periodic product endorsements from the likes of Bernays and his successors, thank you, rather than bow to the whims of self-absorbed, petulant and abusive Luddites. Your persistent confusion between advertisements and the propaganda of Goebbels and Stalin only emphasizes your own ignorance.

  • So in other words, you're a Luddite.

    Large car manufacturers have made vocation of horseshoe smith unprofitable. Shall we go back to the buggy then? Shall we inconvenience everyone else in the world so that you need not have to change?

    Like I said. Grow up.

  • @DrCruel you do realize capitalists created communism?

  • @farttalk45 Only in the sense that merchant shipping created piracy.

  • @DrCruel fuck that , fred engles dad was a famous capitalist, Dude, ur way out of Line, Joseph Goebbels used Bernays book propaganda to manipulate the german public, Joseph Goebbels high respected bernays who was a Jew, interesting how the world works.

  • @farttalk45 The German public wasn't "manipulated" into electing the Nazis. In part they did so because they were terrified of the Bolsheviks, and with good reason - tehy had tried to invade Germany in 1920 (until they were stopped in Poland by - irony of ironies - a coalition of Polish workers), constantly threatened to do it again, and in the 1930s had the largest and most modern army in Europe.

    The problem was that the Nazis were almost as bad as the Bolsheviks. But who knew that in 1933.

  • @DrCruel your grandmother did you cunt...that's why she took off with the Titanic to cross the sea and land in New Jersey where she found your grandfather mostly masturbating behind a barn...and here you are today - Fuck u with yr stupid theories go buy a book

  • @farttalk45 ye they all had breakfast round the same table...Bernays, Goebbels, Himmler, Petain, Stalin, Churchill and Nicolas Zarkozy's grand pa. Useless...

  • @MsGORGONS Goebbels, Himmler and Stalin were friends for a time, after a fashion. Socialists have no enemies on the Left, as they say. Don't think any of the others ever met. And of course the bogus crap about Bernays being a Machiavellian villain, rather than a simple ad man amongst many that lived in the early 20th century, is standard Grade-A Marxian horse shit.

    Go sell it to the Troofers and the Birthers. It won't fly with anyone who's had a decent education in world history.

  • A marketing expert that Leftists apparently love to hate. That's no mark against Bernays, given that most Leftists in this country are about a step or two below national socialists in ethical development.

  • You idiots keep pointing fingers to the left and the right, while corporate America destroys the fabric of democracy head on. Bernays was a demon.

  • The problem being that corporate America is the fabric of America, that the enemies of business and industry are who are responsible for a declining economy and a worsening job market, and Ed Bernays was not a demon but an advertising man, who came up with the radically simple idea of polling people about what they wanted and then giving it to them.

    If anyone was a demon, it was Karl Marx. Not that he was - he's just a anti-Semitic lunatic - but he certainly did more damage than Bernays.

  • No, American people are the fabric of America. Families, neighborhoods, and the Constitution are the fabric of America. Profit at all costs is not 'The American Way'.

    Bernays was the Oppenheimer of thought control. Turning a nation of strong individuals into a flock of passive sheep to be farmed for cash. His legacy weakens the minds of our people to this day, to this very minute.

    Wise up, Dr Cruel.

  • If it were just people, we'd be like any otehr country. What made this particular stretch of ground prosperous was a benevolent business climate - the same thing, in reverse, that made Marxist countries into such hellholes.

    Bernays was the ultimate democrat. He infuriates the Left, because he actually provided what they only promised - a consumer-driven economy that catered to the needs and desires of the individual, rather than central planners or a state apparatus.

  • @DrCruel Hey Doc, I'm a communications major. I concentrated on PR and Advertising. I happened to hear about Edward Bernays from Glenn Beck. It's interesting that American Socialist like President Woodrow Wilson used Bernays to jin up America to go to war against Germany. Woodrow Wilson was a progressive which is a euphemism for flaming liberal/socialist/statist you get my point. Alot of Liberals love to use propaganda to sell their big government crap. I'll continue with another post. Hold on

  • @DrCruel Edward Bernays was a publicity genius. These are common tactics used by businesses and politicians in both parties. Despite what this Blomquist23 moron thinks, ideologies matter. One means big governent and despotism. The other means less government and more freedom. The trouble is there's liberals in both parties. Anyway good discussion doc.

  • A CIA criminal.

  • A sub-human rat turd.

  • People are stupid. It still continues. People actually think they're unique in their thinking when they talk about Science. They don't realize that THAT is also part of the brainwashing fucking scheme. When Hitler has many of his dipshit masses kill through hate everyone believed it was correct and who ever disagreed with that was labled an asshole or stupid.

    Repeat history again you nit wits. When in Rome right?

  • Studying early humans give us insight into our social evolution, primate urges, also a foundation for measuring PROGRESS. It gives us knowledge such as: 99% of our human existence has been EGALITARIAN and how agriculture and our modern economic systems have moved away from egalitarian societies and the effect it has upon us. Studying early humans gives rise to research into human emotional attributes, such as empathy, and how these attributes play a role in our survival and human flourishing.

  • Thanks for your comments, dear friend.

    Can I ask you something? In what time in history you think humans started to exploit others? and what do you think is the hole of religion, while creating the idea of "my group is different from yours, therefore it is ok to exploit or kill you".

    Best regards

  • @danilo137 ha, outside influence i claim. heres another question, do you let your own family starve so another family can live or vice versa,? do you still try to help people see what is going on and that most of the damage we do to each other is bceause of how we think?, yet you may be lynched in the street for trying to do so.

  • And... when was those wars? =/

  • Exactly. How many people say that they believe what they do because of somebody told them who is prefixed Dr. or Prof.? Global warming, anybody? Evolution? It's the simplest way to get someone to believe something that's not true, or only half true.

    Ask more questions than you answer. Common sense is king. Think for yourself.

    PS Bernays was instrumental in the surge of popularity Calvin Collidge experienced by inviting celebrities to the White House. Sounds a lot like the Obama campaign.

  • Sure, Dude! I heard about President Coleridge on BBC's 'century of the self'.

  • While I can agree with you in part, in that people are more proned to believe an authority figure, etc., common sense is NOT king, nor has it ever been. Evolution is backed up with a mountain of evidence, yet people refuse to educate themselves, and instead accept the dominant, political/social propoganda for the masses in place.

    You didn't take it quite far enough in your analysis.

  • Maybe common sense is not king, but it should be.

    Evolution is not backed up by "mountains of evidence". If it was, you would have simply said that it was backed up by evidence, because it would already be so obvious.

    And if evolution is true, then what pragmatic value does it have to study early bipedal man? Or dinosaurs that died off "million of years ago?? What does it mean now?

  • Evolution is backed up by evidences. The interpretations are not. Things evolve to other things through some pretty obvious ways but when people begin to interpretate them... it serves only for some "truth x lie" ideological fight.

  • I hope you aren't serious....as EVOLUTION IS backed up by mounds of evidence. Why isn't it common knowledge? Politics, social policy, wishful thinking, traditionalized ignorance, denial....etc.

    See my favorites. Start with "Our indelibly low origin." Be sure to play close attention towards the end when it explains DNA.

    Btw, it's practical to study early humans for MILLIONS of reasons. Surely you're kidding.....please don't make me list some.

  • -EVOLUTION IS backed up by mounds of evidence-

    Surely, if this was the case, there would be nobody to dispute it. Questions that don't get answered don't go away.

    Proponents of evolution usually take refuge in attacks such as "Why isn't it common knowledge? Politics, social policy, wishful thinking, traditionalized ignorance, denial....etc."

    -"it's practical to study early humans for MILLIONS of reasons please don't make me list some."-

    Why wouldn't you list some? I'm waiting.

  • "If evolution were backed by evidence, there would be nobody to dispute it."

    You are very naive in regard to human behavior and authority, aren't you?

    People will dispute anything, despite evidence, if they fear it, or an authority opposes it.

    Do you know how many centuries it took for Copernicus's discovery that the earth revolved around the sun and not vice versa, took for the people to accept it? Why? B/c the Catholic church was the "authority" and pushed this belief.

    Politics.

  • I believe I asked you to describe and demonstrate how studying early hominids is a pragamtic endeavor to modern science. I'm still waiting.

    Yes, the Catholic Church surpressed Galileo and Copernicus, but they were both Catholics and developed their theories in the Catholic educational enviornment of Reformation Europe when more "rational" Protestants were burning innocent people in the town square for witchcraft and sorcery.

    Not ahtiests, not Protestants, but Catholics made this discovery.

  • Studying earlier hominids gives rise to our origin, our ancestors, where our behaviorial urges are rooted.

    It could be used to solve world problems that plague us...and it is being used so for those purposes now.

    Studying our past behavior is CRUCIAL to understanding of who we actually are and our potential to yield the paintbrush to evolution

    I do hope you see the utmost importance of this. I assumed most people realize the importance.

  • You can't learn about past behavoiral patterns of early hominids because nobody was there to study it. Maybe you could study their physiology, but of what use is that? But, if some claim that the behavoir of early man can be studied, how do they do it?

    People looking up their ancestors is a big hobby, but how can knowing where your great-great-grandparents came from or their idiosyncresies be of any pragmatic use to you? And these people are more recent. How?

  • ? There are various ways of studying early hominid culture. Ex: Fossils found of an early female hominid show she had diseased bones and could not have ability to move on her own and suffered tremendous pain. The scientist were able to detect that she lived quite a while immobal due to healings in her bones, indicative that early hominids cared for the sick. Empathy, our oldest emotional attribute, which is crucial to our survival.

    A good example of our ancesteral behavior.

  • -The scientist were able to detect that she lived quite a while immobal due to healings in her bones, indicative that early hominids cared for the sick.

    Empathy, our oldest emotional attribute, which is crucial to our survival.-

    Empathy, huh? We needed to look at bones to find that out? Just look around at other people. Yeah, they're actually living and you can ask them question instead of trying to decipher fossils.

  • Ok, let me spell it out for YOU: Finding out about our ancestoral past leads us to the discovery of WHO we really are. And if that's not important to you, then leave it to the scientists.

  • Can't we just look to each other to find out who we really are? If not, why?

    Evolution proponents are actually quite paradoxical: "We must move mankind forward by looking back."

  • -The scientist were able to detect that she lived quite a while immobal due to healings in her bones, indicative that early hominids cared for the sick-

    Could it have possible been that she found something herself that made her heal? Did she still have a hospital wristband on or something that made it so "indicative" that early hominids cared for each other?

  • Why don't you study how scientist, archeologist, anthropologists, etc. find out these things?

    If you were truly interested in finding out you'd do so....otherwise you just prefer cupping your hands over your ears.

  • You obviously believe that these scientists propagating evolution are correct so you must know how they come to their conclusions. I just asked some simple questions that you apparently already know about.

    Why are you hogging all the knowledge for yourself? Enlighten me, plese.

  • Hogging knowledge? Evolution theory is a scientific fact and has been so, undisputed thus far, by any person with counter evidence to prove it wrong.

    If you're truly interested, you wouldn't be here arguing with me, you'd be attempting seriious study of it....like looking at the evidence for it.

    It's not up to someone to GIVE you the knowledge...like anything else, it requires YOU to serious attempt to comprehend and assess it.

  • Remember it was you who called me out and now you want nothing to do with my conversation. Very well.

  • I simply am like everyone else...with limited time.....and it's very difficult to have a productive conversation if you're not willing to do serious research. Surely you can understand that.

    It's like trying to talk about the rules of chess to a person who only wants to throw the game on the floor Frustrating.

  • I don't have to look up anything. I can use common sense that nobody has disputed yet.

    The evolution of one species to another isn't evidence. Nobody has observed this happening, ever.

    Studying evolution from one species to another species in any case is unpragmatic and utterly useless.

  • OH, I get it now...you're not worried about KNOWLEDGE per say, you're concerned with "who" gets a star by their name.

    Discovery is made standing on the shoulder of giants. Without prior info the discoveries couldn't be made. Don't concern yourself with such petty, shallow, ego driven bs of "WHO" gets the star, It's learned from our culture and it's pointless, really.

  • -OH, I get it now...you're not worried about KNOWLEDGE per say, you're concerned with "who" gets a star by their name.-

    This statement has nothing to do with my comment. My comment on Galileo, Copernicus and the Catholic Church wasn't even challenged. Your response was pseudo-intellectual rubbish. But evolutionary proponents can't abstain from dipping into the philosophical or metaphysical pool when they're back is against the wall.

  • No need for you to find it comical. Go ahead and list them for us ignoramus masses. When your done listing and explaining what you believe are the factual answers. Find us a list on how we all got here. Find us how a piece of matter can breathe life on its own, from scratch. I don't want an explanation on how a piece of matter lives or how its DNA works. We get that part. I want the beginning. Go ahead.

  • If you were ACTUALLY and authentically interested in the origin of life, you'd be actively pursuing it and educating yourself, thus, you'd stumble upon many facts while doing so that would keep you from defaulting to talking snakes, virgin births and ressurections and a magic sky daddy who just so happens to be all about us on this tiny blue dot we call home.

    Now with that said, go to my favorites and see "Scewed views of Science."

  • 1. ACTUALLY I am authentically interested in the origin of life.

    2. Research is showing me that no one can find the origin of life or how breathing began.

    3.I never mentioned anything about talking snakes, virgin births, resurrections and a magic sky daddy.

    4. Apparantly, you don't realize how much you just told me about how personal you feel about number 3. If you have a personal problem with those things. You don't need Science as guide, but, mental help.

    Wanna talk about it?

  • Mental help? And you assess that from MY comment alone? Psych 101...that's impossible. I've a BS in psychology and sociology and believe you me, true mental illness denial/delusion is the promoted norm.....the status quo. Care to talk about it? I've a nice dose of reality for you. That is...if you don't fear it...

  • I only disagree with you on some points: global warming, evolution and things like that have lots of evidence. The problem is not the thing itself but the interpretation people give to it. Usually authorities' interpretations are seen as truth, not interpretations/conjectures/et­c.

  • Global warming is a myth, a swindle and a parlor trick. Need I remind anyone of Climategate at the Univesity of East Anglia? There has been record low temperatures in different places all over the world recently (Houston's earliest snowfall, China largest snowstorm in over a century, etc.). Explain that.

    When it comes to the theory of evolution from one species to another, debate is difficult. So a question has to be asked: What pragmatic value does this belief have? Absolutely none.

  • This man was crazy !!

  • Be the student...not the studied

  • What a guy.

  • and then more people will die if you call me doctor.. hahaha hohoho

  • Oohhh shit...

  • He says it "jokingly" but he is dead serious.

    I have his "Other" videos.

  • I know, one of the best jokes ever in context

  • Do you have the full lenght interview of ed bernays on letterman?

    If you do, can I have it, please?

    I'd be greatfull, cause I've been looking for it for some time.

    see you!

  • I have the one where out of his own Canaanite mouth that HE was responsible for the "Council on Public Relations" and HE got the idea from Hitler Propaganda. He then goes on to brag about how he manipulated the masses (women especially) into desiring things they didn't need. He is responsible for women marching & smoking when it was taboo for them to. Did you know he is the nephew of Sigmund Freud? Yes. All these Canaanites involved in the Psycho fields. And I'M the Racist? These people control.

  • yes, I've seen the interview before he died and the century of the self thing.

    by the way I fund it very interesting what you said above about cain and so on. are we talking "reptilians ETs" here? if so I agree...

    see you

  • Lucifer is referred to as "The Serpent" throughout the Bible.

    I don't know anything about "ET's" and such, because this has neither been revealed to me nor have I witnessed these things myself.

    I know there is much more to Life&Death than what we see and the Bible tells us that we don't know even the "half of it".

    Maybe we never will :)

    cheers

  • -.-"

  • @PinguimMarco

    salute

  • Oh yeah.. blame Bernays for being smart. A pimp doesn't need to explain himself. It's the "victims" job to counter-act. Besides, it was the corporations and the US government that used him.

  • The Farther o deception and manipulation being praised when in fact he brings destruction & control

    Only an informed mind can protect it's self

  • dear friend, Im not praising him, but in the contrary... I hate him. check out my other videos and you will find why.

    I live in Brazil, we felt on our skin what repression and imperialism is.

    Americans, in general, have no idea what's ahead, we've been through a militar dictatorship (CIA job) for some time, in case you don't know that, but I tell you, there are ways out.

    seyou, friend

  • best.online.docus...best online documentaries....where these videos can be seen...

  • letterman w/ this genious of human manipulation...letterman supports the "o"bama....."id"bama......pers­uasion of our simple makeup......i don't watch letterman anymore...i break down what it is he's trying to put in my head w/ laughter and sarcasim...i don't watch, i see...do u c?...

  • It's a part of all media, inform your self with nlp is the only way

  • Letterman has one mission...dumb down everything. This is the source of his popularity. One thing Letterman and his audience

    CANNOT stand its the idea that there are a few

    exceptional writers or thinkers and a mass of

    undifferentiated mediocrity. NO..everyone has to be the SAME...dumb, materialistic, incurious, dull witted. If he has a nobel prize winning writer on the show..he will ask him what his favorite toys were as a boy..or what did he have for breakfast.
