Outfoxed by Propaganda: Part One

A New Book Coming Thanksgiving Day!

By Ashley Hayes

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. …We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. …In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons…who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.” – Edward Bernays, Propaganda

At NoFakeNews and many other alternative media sites, you will find truthful, well-sourced information about the long-term, meticulously-planned conspiracy – or “meeting of the minds,” if you will – by “elites” to control your life, and take your freedom, through a one-world government or New World Order. These “elites” are Zionist propagandists who have an entirely different definition of “democracy” than you or I do. Their definition of democracy, I have come to learn, includes a world where the citizenry is STEERED to make certain choices by this group of government-connected “elites” in order to better serve their agenda. And while their ultimate agenda is totalitarian control of the citizenry, they also want to strip you of as much of your money as possible in the meantime, by encouraging you to buy things you don’t need from the companies they own which carry goods that they manufacture. They also want to strip you of your good health so that you will have more visits to the hospitals they own, more prescriptions written for the pharmaceuticals they manufacture etc. They do this by steering you to toxic foods they produce, poisoning your drinking water, poisoning the air around you, genetically modifying your foods, and more. The truth of all of this is disguised through propaganda they write, dispersed through media they control.

Controlling the media is the way to control you. Controlling you is, and has always been, the goal. And you can control people if you can control the information they are getting – or not getting. You can manipulate individuals into believing something, and even manufacture their consent and sway their decisions if you control the media and the messaging, and have the linguistic and social-science expertise to write copy that appeals to emotion. This undeniable truth was discovered in the early 1900s by government- and corporate-propagandists Edward L. Bernays, Walter Lippman and others, and its effects have grown exponentially as mass media has exploded in its reach, while at the same time, is owned by just a few individuals.

Propagandists are unseen engineers of public opinion, what Bernays called “invisible wire pullers” who are able to persuade the masses. In PR!: A Social History of Spin, Stuart Ewen quotes historian Robert B. Westbrook who had noted that propagandists – or “Public Relations” specialists – criticized the idea of participatory democracy in which citizens had an active say in what happened in their lives, calling their input an “impediment.” Rather, they felt it was best to “strictly limit government by the people and to redefine democracy as . . . government for the people by enlightened and responsible elites.” This remains the case today.

Think about that for a moment. Every time you’ve heard a story about, or a reference by a politician to, our “democracy,” you’re thinking it means one thing, while those controlling the messaging are giggling behind the scenes, knowing full well it means exactly the opposite. They consider themselves to be “democratic realists.”

Lippman, described as “America’s most esteemed theorist and advocate of public-opinion management” (aka “spin”) in the 1920s, knew that the gulf between perception and reality was ever-widening with the growth of mass media. The advent of “moving pictures” created a scenario in which individuals were ceasing to think on their own, but rather having their opinions, beliefs, tastes, likes, and dislikes formed by what they were seeing on a screen, a literal virtual reality (and a Holy Grail for propagandists, advertisers, and their clients).

He went on to say, ‘[W]e tend to perceive that which we have picked out in the form stereotyped for us by our culture. . . We imagine most things before we experience them. And these preconceptions – unless education has made us acutely aware – govern deeply the whole process of perception . . . and [i]f people cannot accurately know their world, . . . how can they be expected to act wisely on it?”

Lippman and Bernays (as do most propagandists by the very nature of their jobs) saw most people as stupid and unable to think for themselves, which made/makes their job of mass manipulation a lot easier. Having both been an integral part of the Committee on Public Information, which was a team of propagandists who’d been hired to help sway public opinion in support of WWI, they were well aware of how easy it was to manipulate the public. Exploiting the fact that the majority of the public was “beguiled by a medium of fiction,” they believed they could identify and manipulate the ways these fictions would operate to benefit their clients, be it the American Tobacco Company or the US Government.

While in the mid-1800s truthful news might have been shared with the public by the press, giving the citizenry the opportunity to form their own opinions, when Lippman came onto the scene, he espoused the very opposite of that idea: that public opinion must be organized for the press . . . not by the press, the primary aim of which was “perception management.” He believed in restricting access to events because, in so doing, the men controlling those events “could arrange news of it to suit their purposes.” Those “events” today can include data, websites, television channels, and more.

A perfect example of perception management through restricted access to the truth would be the U.S. Department of Defense’s Operation Warp Speed. With the agenda being to fill people with fear and panic so that they would lose any critical thinking skills they possessed and rush out to inject themselves – and their children – with a mysterious, unknown, unproven concoction, one had to really dig to find the truth about what was happening. Unfortunately, as was part of the plan, the truth was found too late for too many. Hammered by propaganda from Fox “News” and others –– including visuals of people ostensibly dropping dead in the street from a “virus” – by politicians and corrupt doctors (whose words to the public were written by propagandists, and the white lab coat is yet another – long used — form of propaganda) which convinced them there was a genuine public health emergency, millions of trusting Americans and innocent citizens throughout the world sustained life-altering injuries, deaths, stillbirths and sterilizations. But the truth was – and still is – highly censored. (Please see Dr. Michael Yeadon’s “final call to humanity” on Rumble in this regard.)

Out of Shadows is a documentary previously mentioned here at NoFakeNews. It is a documentary featuring a Hollywood insider about how movies are used for mass propaganda. This has been the case from the beginning. Back in the 1920s, Lippman viewed the cinema as holding “unparalleled powers of persuasion,” asserting that pictures “have always been the surest way of asserting an idea,” and swaying the public. With the written word, a certain amount of thinking, or decoding, is involved in understanding the intended message. With movies, television and “news,” with their graphics, backdrops, dialogue, props and talking heads, the whole process of manipulating public opinion has been made much easier.

Lippman, Ewen tells us, “saw the strategic employment of media images as the SECRET TO MODERN POWER, the means by which leaders and special interests might cloak themselves in the “fiction” that they stand as delegates of the common good. The most compelling attribute of symbols, he asserted, was [their] capacity to magnify emotion while undermining critical thought. . . A leader or interest that can make itself master of current symbols is the master of the current situation.”

I can think of no better example of this than Fox News (which isn’t actually “news” at all) and Rupert Murdoch. But rather than have me delineate the ways Fox/Murdoch manipulates you, I encourage you to watch the 2004 documentary by Robert Greenwald, “Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism.” It is more relevant today than ever. Here is the link: https://rumble.com/v4htyqb-outfoxed-vintage-mockingbird-media-documentary-2004.html

While watching it, keep in mind the Zionist agenda mentioned in the first paragraph (and throughout this site and others). Also, it might be interesting for readers to know that Rupert Murdoch has served as a long-time advisor to Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. And this may shed some light on why Donald Trump recently canceled the previously-scheduled presidential debate to be held on ABC, only agreeing to a debate with Kamala Harris if it was held on Fox.

To be continued . . .
