From Episode Two of the film series "The Century of the Self" by Adam Curtis. The nephew of Sigmund Freud, Edward Bernays started his business life as a publicist. While still in his twenties, he was part of the propaganda effort that drove the United States into in World War I (WW I.)
He personally advised several US presidents starting with Woodrow Wilson and counseled numerous corporations and business associations. Hitler's propaganda chief and Nazi henchman Joseph Goebbels was a reader and fan of Bernay's writing in particular Bernay's book "Crystalizing Public Opinion."
In this short excerpt from Curtis's film we see one example of Bernays at work.
Bernays was one of the engineers of the Cold War. He perfected the technique of manufacturing a distant but ever-threatening enemy and then creating a constant state of fear by generating false news reports that endlessly re-stated and exagerated the threat.
The stated purpose of Bernay's methods was to give those in power greater control over what he called "the mass mind." It worked well in the 1950s and sadly, it appears to be working quite well today... but maybe not forever.

Also he or she put three rules about wat to do with your tv. 1. turn it off. 2. throw it out the window. 3. blast with a shotgun and send it back to hell. Please any info would be nice. thank you.
There was a website that i went to that had a dark blue background and talked about Edward Bernays and the creater of the website was from Los Angeles, CA. Does anybody know of this website? I really liked it a lot!!!
America...your enemies are within your government; not as much as outside your boarders as inside your White House. Start there to find the real terrorists!
Exactly. It could make sense that this is even the reason why the repeatedly tell you, America, that you don't want war on your own soil. Sure, most people don't want that, but having people believe this idea on a subconscious level would give them great protection.
Mind control isnt something new, its been there..always. Connect with someone who's deprived of something and you can control them. Look at Jim Jones, he convinced 900 people commit suicide at the same time.
