The propaganda machine in place that pervades the western hemiphere military and economic bloc was developed by Edward Bernays. Bernays was Sigmund Freud’s nephew. His propaganda theories were adopted by the Third Reich, U.S. Corporations, the U.S. military and Deep State and the media. The article below will help explain the current domestic political chaos in this country as well as the re-emergence of the Cold War between the U.S. neocon warmonger and Russia.
Inside the Invisible Government: War, Propaganda, Clinton & Trump
Bernays’ influence extended far beyond advertising. His greatest success was his role in convincing the American public to join the slaughter of the First World War. The secret, he said, was “engineering the consent” of people in order to “control and regiment [them] according to our will without their knowing about it”.
He described this as “the true ruling power in our society” and called it an “invisible government”.
Today, the invisible government has never been more powerful and less understood. In my career as a journalist and film-maker, I have never known propaganda to insinuate our lives and as it does now and to go unchallenged.

Dave thanks for the articles like this one. A few months ago you admonished me to read about Bernays, at the time it pissed me off a bit, but I took your advice. Wow did the light bulbs start to turn on. I’ve learned more here from people like Stuart than from all the talking heads for years. Thanks again
Glad I could help shine some light on the truth for you
The War on Truth has been going on for a very long time. As Napoleon said, “History is a set of lies agreed upon.” I think this is actually the central human narrative. Through deception and taking advantage of ignorance, the elite have sought to commandeer the public with manufactured beliefs. This is not a new development.
Religions were constructed to create meaning for people and to keep them on a managed reservation so they could be fleeced. Worshiping Caesar as a god was part of the government plan. Smart people (priests) were employed to develop this narrative and establish ritual to herd the masses in behavior. The whole thing is theater, and pulling wool over people’s eyes. For whatever reason, people fail to perceive how they are being fooled and shorn of their well being.
I guess waking up from this matrix is hard to do, and it is much easier to keep your head down.
Great commentary Andy
