The Century of Self_ Engineering of Consent part 6

http://www.luxstock.net
The programme explores how those in power in post-war America used Freud's ideas about the unconscious mind to try and control the masses.

Politicians and planners came to believe Freud's underlying premise - that deep within all human beings were dangerous and irrational desires and fears. They were convinced that it was the unleashing of these instincts that had led to the barbarism of Nazi Germany. To stop it ever happening again they set out to find ways to control this hidden enemy within the human mind.

Sigmund Freud's daughter, Anna, and his nephew, Edward Bernays, provided the centrepiece philosophy. The US government, big business, and the CIA used their ideas to develop techniques to manage and control the minds of the American people. But this was not a cynical exercise in manipulation. Those in power believed that the only way to make democracy work and create a stable society was to repress the savage barbarism that lurked just under the surface of normal American life.

@ilindah So there is an overall power held innately. Suppressed on purpose.But do those who initiate this understand it all? Well I guess thats rhetoric-sorry.I mean, that do they know or have knowledge deciphered? Should we go after them or separate ourselves and figure it out.Do we need to negotiate?

[ilindah]

the key is to inspire ourselves, our children, etc to know their power and learn to HOLD ON TO IT and be selfish enough to never let others manipulate you/me...my believe is, that i will manifest into my experience whatever my dominant thought (vibration) is about any subject...so if my attitude toward money is, i never have enough and beat that drum on a regular basis, this will be my predominant experience in my OWN life...so the same for everything else i think and feel about...

[ilindah]

@rpfreethinking79 i think those who want all the power and to control KNOW that a human being has unlimited individual power if they are 'uplifted' or 'empowered' and if they are 'dis-empowered' to believe they are worthless, they will manifest that into their lives too...so the game seems to be about empowering the few and the opposite for the many...and the 'paternal' dynamic is a system in place where they "parent" and YOU "child" behave and listen or you will be punished...religion/govt/etc

@ilindah Well said. Modern communication is a great venue exploited by these elitist. They are on top of every aspect of technology. Like Transhumanist( Ray Kurzwiel-spelling maybe wrong) want to eliminate all of these emotions, thought processes, and everything that makes us human, and artificially enhance it or just create a whole new man. Illindah, what have say you? I like the way you think.

[ilindah]

the individuals 'emotions' guide the human being as an indication that makes them FEELS right (good) of bad (awful)...the few who are 'egotistical' i.e. the elite/psychoanalysts, tend to have an obsession with control and power = arrogance...the Freud family had some who saw their intellect from an 'elitist' 'privileged' perspective which in the end, revealed the true corruption and bullshit of it all...

@RGB271979 the key is to turn off the tv, radio, etc

WOW, self interest was adopted by psychoanalysis to prosper and they still do. After all the lives and all failures you would get fired with that track record at work. But they still go on. How does this happen? How do you like that still being payed to make shit fly.

The Control for the mind (psychoanalysis) has not ended...but has evolved. I.E., drugs, Media, Music, Education, so on...Mind Fucked everyday until we can finally think for ourselves. Great Documentary Series !!!!!
