This is the first stepping-stone to the western society-propaganda of yesterday, today and tommorow...

Campaigns

This list is incomplete

Some of the campaigns Bernays worked on: * In the 1920s, working for the American Tobacco Company, he sent a group of young models to march in the New York City parade. He then told the press that a group of women's rights marchers would light "Torches of Freedom". On his signal, the models lit Lucky Strike cigarettes in front of the eager photographers. The New York Times (1 April 1929) printed: "Group of Girls Puff at Cigarettes as a Gesture of 'Freedom'". This helped to break the taboo against women smoking in public. During this decade he also handled publicity for the NAACP
* Bernays once engineered a "pancake breakfast" with vaudevillians for Calvin Coolidge in what is widely considered one of the first overt media acts for a president.
* Bernays used his uncle Sigmund Freud's ideas to help convince the public, among other things, that bacon and eggs was the true all-American breakfast
* In October 1929, Bernays was involved in promoting "Light's Golden Jubilee." The event, which spanned across several major cities in the U.S., was designed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Thomas Edison's invention of the light-bulb (note: the light-bulb was in fact invented by Joseph Swan). The publicity elements of the Jubilee including the special issuance of a U.S. postage stamp and Edison's "re-creating" the invention of the light bulb for a nationwide radio audience provided evidence of Bernays' love for big ideas and "ballyhoo."
* Bernays helped the Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa) and other special interest groups to convince the American public that water fluoridation was safe and beneficial to human health. This was achieved by using the American Dental Association in a highly successful media campaign.
* In the 1930s, his Dixie Cup campaign was designed to convince consumers that only disposable cups were sanitary.

Beyond his contributions to these famous and powerful clients, Bernays revolutionized public relations by combining traditional press agentry with the techniques of psychology and sociology to create what one writer has called "the science of ballyhoo."

  • why is this playing at 1.5 speed?

  • Inception. So your probably wondering where the key to your brain is. Its called the Amygdala & its a fight or flight response in your instincual brain that can be rebooted & replaced with a different emotional tag. This in essense proves that compartmentalized minds are broken minds when brain capacity expands at the frontal lobe. The whole logical hemisphere theory was a sham, Your whole brain function is designed in emotional concept. The left merely recalls emotional tags/learned response

  • You do know that Freud was a Jewish german scientist that had been working for MKULTRA operations in the US??? Well, your title seems to not mention the fact that Freud was surgically removing patients frontal lobes.. I think it would be to easy to just blame his nephew for the madness when the facts are documented history. Freud was a very dark mind. Although he is right about the subconscious, he was highly inaccurate at his diagnoses, Dead wrong. He is part of mass global brainwash.

  • This is from a BBC documentary "The Century of The Self" in case anyone was wondering.

  • Watch Gone Tomorrow: The Hidden Life of Garbage on Google video.

  • thx for the message to watch this. Im reading propaganda now.

  • Nice catch.
