Mind Control
Propaganda
Wikipedia - Mind control
Brainwashing refers to the involuntary reeducation of basic beliefs and values. The term has been applied to any tactic, psychological or otherwise, which can be seen as subverting an individual's sense of control over their own thinking, behavior, emotions or decision making.
The power elite largely control what people think and believe. Mind control is a very broad area involving propaganda, mass media, education and much more. An obvious example would be the corporate elite who turn people into consumers by means of for example massive advertising and the promotion of the extremely destructive philosophy materialism. The power elite make the ignorant people believe in globalization by which they shift ever more power from nation states to themselves. Propaganda is used to make people believe in democracy and to influence elections. Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
Propaganda about propaganda
Adolf Hitler - Mein Kampf
The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly and with unflagging attention. It must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.
William Sargant - Battle for the Mind: A Physiology of Conversion and Brainwashing...
Various types of belief can be implanted in many people, after brain function has been sufficiently disturbed by accidentally or deliberately induced fear, anger or excitement. Of the results caused by such disturbances, the most common one is temporarily impaired judgment and heightened suggestibility. Its various group manifestations are sometimes classed under the heading of 'herd instinct,' and appear most spectacularly in wartime, during severe epidemics, and in all similar periods of common danger, which increase anxiety and so individual and mass suggestibility.
In order to maximise the result of mind control of the masses the power elite benefit from wars, crises, terror, etcetera, because such events make people more susceptible to suggestion, to the ideas and goals of the power elite.

William J. Casey - Michael A. Kirchubel: Vile Acts of Evil: Volume 1 Banking in America
We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.
Allen W. Dulles - Letter to J. I. Coffey (February 13, 1960)
U.S. information programs are understood to include activities official and unofficial, overt and covert, undertaken to influence foreign opinion in favor of U.S. objectives or against the objectives of those opposing the U.S. These include radio; ... ; publications; movie services; libraries abroad; ... leader training; cultural activities; East-West exchanges and contacts; "political action"; "political warfare"; support of ... groups and activities; influencing of opinion makers; ...
CIA - Psychological Operations in Guerrilla Warfare
In effect, the human being should be considered the priority objective in a political war. And conceived as the military target of guerrilla war, the human being has his most critical point in his mind. Once his mind has been reached, the "political animal" has been defeated, without necessarily receiving bullets.
William J. Casey was director of the CIA from 1981 to 1987, under president Ronald Reagan. He was also a Knight of Malta and part of the intelligence network of the powerful Catholic Church which is of course a master when it comes to mind control of the masses. This is a striking quote. It was confirmed by Barbara Honegger who testified in the Iran-Contra scandal and the October surprise. Allen W. Dulles was director of Central Intelligence from 1953 to 1961. Under his supervision various at that time very secretive mind control programs were run. Only later the truth emerged. See for example Operation Mockingbird. The power elite used their intelligence agencies to infiltrate the media in order to spread propaganda meant to further their globalist agenda. Of course nowadays the mainstream media are completely owned and controlled by such power elite. Allen W. Dulles was also a Knight of Malta and part of the intelligence network of the powerful Catholic Church. Another major program at that time was Project MKUltra led by Sidney Gottlieb in which drugs and torture played an important role. See also for example Operation Midnight Climax. The United States has a history of unethical experimentation on its own population. The CIA manual Psychological Operations in Guerrilla Warfare was published in 1985 and was meant to instruct a terrorist organization in Nicaragua, the Contras, in order to prepare for a regime change. It was part of the Iran-Contra scandal under president Ronald Reagan. The power elite are responsible for psychological operations, psychological warfare, black operations and fearmongering. For example war propaganda and false flag operations are meant to make the ignorant public at home and abroad support for example aggressive wars in other parts of the world in favor of the power elite.
Propaganda
Walter Lippmann - Public Opinion
We have learned to call this propaganda. A group of men, who can prevent independent access to the event, arrange the news of it to suit their purpose. That the purpose was in this case patriotic does not affect the argument at all. They used their power to make the Allied publics see affairs as they desired them to be seen.
Friedrich Nietzsche - The Will to Power
A higher species of men which, thanks to their preponderance of will, knowledge, wealth and influence make use of democratic Europe as their aptest and most mobile tool, in order to bring into their own hands the destinies of the Earth and as artists to shape 'man' himself. Enough — the time is coming when men will unlearn and relearn the art of politics.
Propaganda is a form of communication aimed towards influencing the attitude of the community toward some cause or position by presenting only one side of an argument. The power elite are masters of propaganda.
Edward Bernays Edward Bernays
Edward Bernays - Propaganda
The American business community was also very impressed with the propaganda effort. They had a problem at that time. The country was becoming formally more democratic. A lot more people were able to vote and that sort of thing. The country was becoming wealthier and more people could participate and a lot of new immigrants were coming in, and so on. So what do you do? It's going to be harder to run things as a private club. Therefore, obviously, you have to control what people think. ... The engineering of consent is the very essence of the democratic process, the freedom to persuade and suggest. ... Propaganda is the executive arm of the invisible government.
Joseph Goebbels - Knowledge and Propaganda
The point of a political speech is to persuade people of what we think right.
Edward Bernays is regarded as the father of spin and public relations. What Joseph Goebbels was to Nazi Germany Edward Bernays is to the United States. Public relations is another term for propaganda. It is very important to understand that the power elite use propaganda to manufacture the consent of the sheeple.
Oswald Spengler - The Decline of the West
...in actuality the feedom of public opinion involves the preparation of public opinion, which costs money; and the freedom of the press brings with it the question of possession of the press, which again is a matter of money; and with the franchise comes electioneering, in which he who pays the piper calls the tune.
Noam Chomsky, Edward S. Herman - Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media
When you can't control people by force, and when the voice of the people can be heard, you have this problem—it may make people so curious and so arrogant that they don't have the humility to submit to a civil rule [Clement Walker, 1661], and therefore you have to control what people think. And the standard way to do this is to resort to what in more honest days used to be called propaganda, manufacture of consent, creation of necessary illusion. Various ways of either marginalizing the public or reducing them to apathy in some fashion.
In our capitalist democracies propaganda has become an essential tool for influencing what people think.
Edward S. Herman - Propaganda System Number One
The United States is not only number one in military power but also in the effectiveness of its propaganda system, which is vastly superior to any past or present state-managed system.
Michael Parenti - Quotations
The enormous gap between what US leaders do in the world and what Americans think their leaders are doing is one of the great propaganda accomplishments of the dominant political mythology.
Anthony Pratkanis, Elliot Aronson - Age of Propaganda: The Everyday Use and Abuse of Persuasion
Americans create 57% of the world's advertising while representing only 6% of its population; half of our waking hours are spent immersed in the mass media. Persuasion has always been integral to the democratic process, but increasingly, thoughtful discussion is being replaced with simplistic soundbites and manipulative messages.
The United States is the culprit of modern propaganda and it has tremendous influence domestically and globally. Not only does it tell people what to believe, it also keeps people from knowing too much about the true nature of the power elite and their power abuse by means of incredible amounts of mass media entertainment and the endless repetition of falsified history.
