Last week I wrote about propaganda and how it is the way an international cabal of professional manipulators influence individuals, groups and large swaths of the global populous to accept, believe, consume, and act in certain ways beneficial to the content creators and their clients. Propaganda is a tool that can be used for good or evil. It is a tool of image and idea dissemination, calculated social manipulation and premeditated social engineering.Â
Every day we are targeted by psychologically formatted images, content and promptings to get us to believe, buy and internalize crafted messages about ourselves, others and the world. The real impetus behind propaganda is power. The Father of modern Public Relations and Propaganda is Edward Bernays. Bernays was the double nephew of Sigmund Freud who used his uncles’ ideas on the human psyche and the theories of several other psychotherapists to develop ways to manipulate the human unconscious to get a predetermined desired result whether it was buy selected products, believing certain facts or behaving in subscribed ways.
