Propaganda by Edward Bernays Chapter 9: Propaganda In Social Service "The great enemy of any attempt to change men's habits is inertia. Civilization is limited by inertia." Edward Bernays

 "The great enemy of any attempt to change men's habits is inertia. Civilization is limited by inertia." Edward Bernays 

The next three chapters are short. Good! I am ready to move on to the next book. Social services are the focus of this chapter. I can say this chapter has been well taught. Edward Bernays would be proud of the current generation of propagandists. They can sell anything from gum to war. 


Humanitarian aid and corridors are currently what's being sold for victims of the conflict between NATO/US and Russia. Of course, there's a push-pull aspect of propaganda. One report will have NATO/US as the ones delivering humanitarian aid. Another report says the opposite. Then we have European Union members fighting to allow refugees from Eastern Europe into Europe. Never mind that they are contributing to the problem. That's not a part of the social service via propaganda. 


Like campaigns of the past, only the problem was talked about. Not those causing the problems or those suffering. Not an actual human term anyway. Take your pick of social dilemmas that have been propagandized, slavery, the Holocaust, or the current crisis in Eastern Europe. There's a lot of social service via propaganda without much action or solution.

UN Legitimate and Two Illegitimate Speakers

This was a freakshow of a week…. I actually did a whole layout here and accidentally deleted it. OMG. I realize this week was crazy, but holy shit! This is what it did. So here’s a quick recap before I have a completely psychotic break.  Trump entered the UN building with the same level of disaster he entered the world with. The safety feature that will prevent someone carrying a ‘nasty surprise’ from entering the top level of the escalator. That still leaves the elevators. The teleprompter stopped working. That was it, there’s a conspiracy. He did what any brain-dead American would do: whine and bitch. His almost hour-long tirade ended by telling other nations they will go to hell. I guess there will be a family reunion.  Netanyahu went to speak, and it’s a good thing that there were influencers paid to be there; otherwise, why on earth would anybody subject themselves to Netanyahu’s incoherent nonsense after Trump is beyond me. Netenhahu finished last week by threatening Chi...

Who is Ahmed al-Sharaa?

  Ahmed was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Wait! What was that???? Born in Saudi Arabia…. How the hell did he get to be president of Syria? A country that he isn’t even a citizen of? That is as insane as Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announcing he is going to be the president of America. Actually, I would welcome that. Since he is obviously smarter than any American Political puppet. At least we would be able to have our Christian values protected. There wouldn’t be an abortion clinic on every city block. And the sexualization of children would come to a dead stop. Veterans would be better cared for under Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. However, that will never happen, but I think you get how insane that is. I found that you have to be a natural-born citizen of Syria to be president of Syria.  Ahmed al-Sharaa was a member of Al Qaeda. You remember the pack of terrorists who attacked us on 9/11/. My question is, why is Al-Qaeda allowed to exist if they were involved in 9/11? ...

Feeling Ignored

  I didn't mean to ignore this site. I have been busy with the government shutdown, and I have to say, what a freak show. Let's break this down: 1. There is a budget. Once it's clear that we won't tolerate the freak show any longer, the budget will be put in front of us. Of course, it won't have an accurate date. The date it was actually signed.  2. What are we currently focused on? The shutdown. We are looking at the fact that Israel is attacking Iran, again, for having the very same thing they have: nuclear weapons. We also have nuclear weapons in America. We also have a nasty habit of using weapons of mass destruction. Dioxin was used in Vietnam; it was later called Agent Orange.  3. We are no longer demanding the release of the Epstein and Maxwell files. Of course, by the end of October, I am sure this will be in the headline again because one of the other party will bring it up.  4. Prices. The lamestream media isn't talking about the real prices. I went ye...
