The Real Obama Scandal Is That He Destroyed Multiple Nations
There is no Ordinary People Lobby. There are no heavily funded think tanks placing arguments for normal human interests at key points of influence in Washington. The scales are forcefully tilted against what normal members of the public want and need, because what the rich and powerful want and need differs so sharply from the interests of the public. Society is a mess because we have systems in place which allow a small number of people to dictate government policy and decision making against the interests of everyone else.
A big part of the problem is the fact that our rulers are always thinking in terms of mass-scale psychological manipulation and normal people almost never are. There’s all this work and research pointed at how to manipulate human minds at mass scale, and nothing comparable exists that’s pointed at countering that influence. There is no anti-Bernays. This is an entirely one-sided fight that most people don’t even know they’re on the receiving end of.
The primary goal of this group is an agenda to expose the delusional reality most of our society is trapped in. Disregard "group" in the postings at Progressives, Socialists, and Black Lives Matter and on the political page, of course. Anyone reading my post on those other 2 platforms can feel free to join my group. I do though respectfully ask that you please read the group opening and pinned pages if you feel you have an interest in engaging with my post. Please don't bring the conflictive atmosphere of useless rhetoric found on much of the social medias, or attack other members who respectfully participate. I abhor wasting my time attempting to debate with closed minds that can't comprehend the importance of the relative construct of narratives and context of substantial, factual, and historical driven information. Holding the ability to conform an intelligent sense of conjecture for civil debate.
These parts of Johnstone's article, above, give a primary example of this which I often make an essential in delivering that message. That delusional reality is heavily manufactured by elements I often bring up in regards to NGOs, think tanks, and public relation firms. If not owned by, they are also paid to work for that small number of people Johnstone is referring to above. As citizens, we're basically left without any sense of that type of representation. Which should be done by our media structure. Our media structure however, is now heavily owned by only 6 major entities that help dictate what that small number of people want. Our modern media has completely betrayed their duties as the 4th Estate. There is absolutely no sense of representing us within challenging the agendas of the status quo.
In regards to Johnstone's comment above "There is no anti-Bernays" she is referring to Edward Bernays, known as the father of modern propaganda. I have on multiple occasions shared 2 Abby Martin discussions that are highly correlated to these 2 aspects of Johnstone's article, the above. You can seek them out at Youtube or on the following link with other work of Abby Martin's.
Propaganda & Engineering Consent for Empire with Mark Crispin Miller
This one is related to the Berneys comment. It goes into the history of modern propaganda beginning around WWl.
Giants: Who Really Rules The World?
This is a discussion with Peter Phillips, professor of Political Sociology at Sonoma State University. Phillips outlines the correlation between the ruling class ties to NGOs, think tanks, public relation firms, and our MSMs. What capitalism is all about.
