"He is concerned with courses of action, doctrines, systems, and opinions, and securing of public support for them." Edward Bernays
In this chapter, there's a question posed: what is an invisible government? It got me thinking about my own image of this. So here we go, my image of an invisible government would be a pack of lunatics high out of their minds on power and the blood of innocent people dripping from their fangs. Basically, I imagine a pack of demons in the physical sense and mental sense. Don't you! Given these are the biggest consumers and often creators of child porn. They are as greedy as a human can be so we know they sell their own mother for a profit. They will start a war at the snap of Lucifer's fingers. While those are the driving principles of this invisible government, what most would imagine and what they really look like are completely opposite. No! They live in mansions, have drivers, maid staff, and nannies. Basically, they look and live like trump.
Here's an example of how they direct us. I grew up on Hair Metal or Glam Rock. When Bon Jovi came in the early 1980s Runaway was on every rock station. Then came Slippery When Wet. By then I was in Junior High. Every other song was by Bon Jovi. When Motley Crue released Home Sweet Home, it was requested so much that Bon Jovi didn't get the air time. MTV had to put a limit on how many times Home Sweet Home was played. I was one of those teen girls writing MTV offices in NYC asking no begging for the Home Sweet Home video to be played every fifteen minutes. Seriously! I thought that was a great deal. I still had crazy, I mean teen girl-crazy, love, for Bon Jovi. Then one night it happened. Yeah! There was this new band with a 'Fuck Off' attitude that released a song that broke Bon Jovi's hold over girls like me. It was Welcome To The Jungle by Guns and Roses. After watching the video it was like 'Bon who'. We'd cast Bon Jovi aside and the spell was broken. The clock hit midnight on Bon Jovi. Of course, the pattern repeated until Guns and Roses got exhausted and fell apart. I don't regret that night. It led me to Micheal Monroe and Hanoi Rocks. Unfortunately, Razzle, their drummer, had been about four years by then. It made me realize that I had been brainwashed into liking Bon Jovi. They were played every other song on the radio and MTV. When MTV was still music. Now it's stupid reality shows. Sorry about that. Now, look at television programming. MTV started reality shows and twenty or thirty years later they are everywhere like super syphilis. People were brainwashed into liking programs like Road Rules and The Real World in the late 80s. They were preparing us for the future of television. This is the power of the invisible government.
Mr. Bernays made a great point of how governments regardless of their supposed governing style need a popular opinion. They won't be successful without it. Even with that, here's where propagandists come in. They shape the opinions of the citizens. For those of us who remember 9/11 will remember the slogans of 'You're either with us, or you're against us.' How many were we told this? I lost count. Then the 'Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction' slogan was shoved down our throats daily. It formed our outrage which led us into Afghanistan and Iraq. Then we find out that Bin Laden was NOT involved with 9/11, but to this day there's yet to be one weapon of mass destruction to be found in Iraq. Oh yeah! Bin Laden worked with the CIA for years. We the American people who were so outraged by 9/11 we wanted blood. We got it in spades. The government's council of public relations receives a request from the government and the propagandist goes to work. Next thing you know the public is going in the direction desired. Mission accomplished!
Y'all the bottom line is this, public relations specialist is someone who spreads the good news about new products. They also display our choices of candidates for elections. Excuse me while I grab a barf bag. The job of a propagandist is to tell us what to think. There has got to be an illusion of choice. How? Setup "media" groups to create and maintain the illusion of choice and different parties. At the end of the day, they are just as disgusting as politicians.
