Sigmund Freud's Nephew and Corporate Alien Control
His name was Edward L. Bernays. He was Sigmund Freud's Nephew. He was born in Vienna on November 22, 1891 and died in his home at Cambridge, Massachusetts on March 9, 1995 at the age of 103.
Previous to the early twentieth century, salespersons thought of people as being rational beings. They stature all they had to do was motive with the public logically if they would like to sell their product. Freud's hypothesis mentioned that every person also obsessed an unconscious mind filled with nature and hidden emotions as sex, security, hostility, and survival. This unconscious mind seriously influences how people as a whole perform.
Edward Bernays was elevated in the United States of America. He spent a lot of the summers of his childhood holidays in Austria and getting to recognize firsthand some of his famous uncle's hypothesis. He used what he learned to devise the most helpful corporate strange theory on the planet. This theory is called "Public Relations" by several, and "Spin" by others. You and I have been affected by spin for decades if we have lived in any part so called "civilized" people of the world.
Some of Bernays' struggle in fact changed the activities of most Americans. In the mid twenties, a company called Beechnut Packing required to improve its deals of bacon. Bernays, rather than create a movement to put the bacon on sale created a new and no avail of use for the product. He asked the medicinal group of people if it was superior for people to have a strong breakfast or a light breakfast. Doctors proved that an energetic breakfast was better. During the breakfast consisted of toast, coffee, and juice. Bernays added bacon and eggs to this breakfast. He started a advertising movement that advertise the medicinal benefits of a energetic breakfast that included bacon and eggs. Now a day, an "all American" breakfast includes bacon and eggs.
Another of his movement was for the American Tobacco Company. By the mid twenties, smoking was widespread in the United States and cigarettes were the most well-liked form of tobacco. Ladies, however, were not acceptable to smoke in public. In 1928 the American Tobacco Company appoints Bernays to undertake and change this. He discuss with a psychiatric therapist A.A. Brill, who suggested that what ladies really like was the liberty to do the same things men do. So the period of New York's 1929 Easter Parade, Bernays appointed debutantes to march in the parade imagine to be suffragettes. On his signal, these ladies all lit up a cigarette. He had photographers on standby to mark the occasion and referred to cigarettes as being "torches of freedom." It appeared that any person against ladies smoking was against ladies's freedom as well. Bernays saw to it that this incident was exposed throughout the world. Smoking by women all over the place speedily skyrocketed when they began to link cigarettes with freedom.
Here is how Bernays felt about Public Relations and democracy:
The heedful and intellectual manipulation of the planned habits and views of the masses is a main element in independent society. Those who influence this invisible method of society make up an imperceptible government which is the true ruling power of our country.
COMPELETED
~Democracies are not the only forms of government that use spin. Doctor Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda minister, kept copies of Bernays' books in his extensive "mind control" library. Bernays never had Hitler as a client, but some techniques from his books were used in the Nazi campaign against the Jews.
During his later years Bernays saw how Public Relations was currently being misused. On his hundredth birthday in 1991 he said: "Public relations today is horrible. Any dope, any nitwit, any idiot can call him or herself a public relations practitioner." He really wanted the science of Public Relations to be used for the good of mankind.
In order to use the science of Spin, one needs to enough money to wage a successful campaign and media approval. Today, there are only six or seven media corporations that control the majority of the news and entertainment the public sees. Governments have enough power to approve or deny what the public sees. The media only spins government policies that are considered "patriotic" and "politically correct." Big corporations, because of massive wealth, buy the needed spin for their products to stand out. Corporate alien leaders thus determine what is good for the people.
During the Viet-Nam war the American people were constantly being told through the media that if the communists won in Viet-Nam, democracy would be lost. The communists won and nothing happened. There were over 58,000 Americans killed, 303,000 wounded and over 3,800,000 Vietnamese lost their lives. Many Americans still believe the media spin and think the war was necessary.
The current Iraqi war has the government again launching a Public Relations campaign. Now the word "terrorism" is constantly being spun in the media as a threat to "freedom." According to the media, terrorists seem to be everywhere. Opposing this war could get you labeled as a traitor. You may get called a "conspiracy theorist" if you question the government's explanation of the events leading to this war.
Elections are handled exclusively by the media. The candidate that invests the largest amount of money or wages the best Public Relations campaign wins. How qualified is the candidate? No one knows. The government can save a lot of election expenses by just appointing Paris Hilton as president and Jay Leno as vice-president. This result would be equivalent to that of the actual elected candidates in the next election. The people are controlled by spin initiated by powerful corporate aliens controlling the media. Spin requires a candidate to always look good, but ignores the candidate's actual ability to do his or her job efficiently. No candidate, however qualified, can win without a lot of money to buy spin campaigns. Candidates are just faces and personalities that distract the masses and really may have very little of the skills needed to run the government. There seems to be an "invisible government" as Bernays said that is the true ruling power.
In order to have a true election, media must be left out of the election process. I believe that this is possible, but will not occur anytime soon for obvious reasons. Logic, not unconscious impulse must guide our choices.
Not all people succumb to spin. The more a person thinks as an individual, the less likely his or her ideas are affected by media campaigns. This is why, while most people today believe, because of the media, that there's a terrorist lurking around every corner, some still question this premise. Being aware of how your unconscious mind can influence your thoughts can get you to investigate more of what the media tells you before reaching a conclusion.
The recent film "Thank You for Smoking", now on DVD, is an insightful and entertaining feature covering the subject of spin. A book that covers more of Bernays campaigns and Public Relations in general is "The Father of Spin: Edward L. Bernays & the Birth of Public Relations" by Larry Tye.
