Decoding The Political Message: Politicans, Governmentspeak And Brainwash

It is a modern illusion that everything is known to everybody because of a mass of available up-to-date information thanks to the Internet and, especially, social media networks. Instead, the truth is that the media consensus is always the opposite of what will help you.

The purpose of the media, the market and politics is to create public sentiment and direction opposite of reality. Public opinion is the worst trend to follow. Most everybody spends their whole existence mimicking public opinion without ever suspecting that they do not think their own thoughts. (Proof of this can be found in the comments section of every Personal Liberty article.) Social media networks have exacerbated this phenomenon.

Esoteric change agents know this psychological principle extremely well. The fundamental principle of mass persuasion is to create the herd or group mentality in order to significantly lower the intelligence level — the better and easier to direct and control for the benefit of authority.

Edward L. Bernays, the nephew of Sigmund Freud, is the father of manipulative propaganda in America. Mass persuasion and mass hypnosis is fundamental to so-called “democracy.”

According to Bernays’ book, Propaganda, “Those who manipulate the unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested largely by men we have never heard of. In almost every act of our lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires that control the public mind.”

The thoughts of the public mind become conventional wisdom. There are two words that describe conventional wisdom and they are control and conformity. These terms are self-enforcing. That is, if there is control, there is conformity. And if there is conformity, there is control.

One important thought here: A person’s IQ or education level has absolutely nothing to do with his perception of reality. Higher education is higher brainwashing. Sometimes it seems that the more education, the bigger the fool.

People are obsessed with believing what they have always believed without question. An inquiring mind is required for anyone to question long-held views.

Surveillance Blowback: How Spying On Foreigners Could Hurt The US Economy

A series of classified documents leaked by former National Security Administration contractor Edward Snowden put US Government officials on their heels in June, forcing them into an uncomfortable debate about privacy and national security. But the leaks also raised questions about the role of US companies in America’s surveillance operations.

James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, defended the programmes as legal – and indeed, it seems that the NSA’s snooping efforts were conducted with the oversight of Congress and Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) courts. Nevertheless, privacy advocates reacted with outrage. Within days of the disclosures, the American Civil Liberties Union had filed a lawsuit against the NSA.

There is still plenty of mystery surrounding the two programmes, but Snowden’s documents show the outlines of one surveillance operation that collects the metadata about – but not the content of – Americans’ domestic phone calls. Another, known as PRISM, focuses on the actual content of the online communications of foreigners. What’s especially controversial about PRISM is the involvement of nine large American tech companies, including Microsoft, Google, Facebook and Apple, that the NSA uses to gather its information. These companies have worked hard to clear up what they claim are misconceptions about how much access the government has to their users’ data. But the companies are legally barred from disclosing many details of PRISM.

How License-Plate Scanners Are Eroding Our Privacy

Police officers don't respond kindly to being videotaped, yet law enforcement agencies on every level are tracking out comings and going via cameras that ID our license plate numbers. Here, PopMech contributor and Instapundit blogger Glenn Reynolds takes on the slow erosion of our privacy.

Here's a thought experiment: imagine that activists, concerned with official misconduct, install license-plate readers on private property to track the location of every car belonging to the police department or a politician and upload the locations to a public database. The result: a map of where the police go, and where they don't—along, perhaps, with politicians' visits to motels or strip clubs.

Given that police often respond with hostility to simply being videotaped, I expect that a venture like this would prompt an outcry, and probably some efforts to shut it down. But this is precisely what officialdom is doing to citizens.
