Fascinating stuff on how public relations descends from Freudian psychology, and advertisers and politicians use our inner most desires to control what we think.

interesting, first video interviews a "countess" an elite.
They don't do this anymore, esxposure at a minimum.

Every interaction in your life will change you wether you like it or not.Another way of looking at it is this is that you become what you behold. wether you resist or not. It is a law.

So, it is a physical law. careful what you watch or listen to or you will believe it eventually no matter how informed you are.

The BBC - by broadcasting a show that basically tells people that they and their parents and all of humanity are a bunch of easily manipulated drones - basically told all of their viewers: You're a bunch of easily manipulated drones.

Why else do you think there's so much effective censorship on TV?

They don't want people to truly think.

I always try to keep my media sources diverse, it's the best plan of attack.

Never, ever be ruled by one source. I read newspapers, I watch TV, I use internet news services (I try to focus on non-mainstream sources on the web).

Then, I use the filter of gut instinct, then a logic filter.
