I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society, but the people themselves: and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their controul with a wholsome discretion, the remedy is, not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. this is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power.

Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Charles Jarvis (September 28, 1820)

It is impossible to fundamentally grasp the social, political, economic and cultural developments of the past 100 years without some understanding of [Edward] Bernays and his professional heirs in the public relations industry. PR is a 20th-century phenomenon, and Bernays—widely eulogized as the "father of public relations" at the time of his death in 1995—played a major role in defining the industry's philosophy and methods.

…[Edward] Bernays saved every scrap of paper he sent out or took in … In so doing, he let us see just how policies were made and how, in many cases, they were founded on deception.

Larry Tye, The Father of Spin: Edward L. Bernays and The Birth of Public Relations (1998)

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

Exodus 20:16 [NASB]

It is astonishing to me, to see how fragile the monolithic, seemingly unassailable and insurmountable campaign(s) of lies is, when confronted by the simplicity of truth. These campaigns of lies — known collectively as ‘public relations’ so-called — are nothing more than a collection of lies, fomented by which a certain caste of society uses to manipulate and coerce one’s fellow man. The practice of which is tyrannical, despotic, evil, ungodly, unbiblical, dishonest, and frankly unamerican.

How pathetic, when one realizes the vast resources required to maintain such an overwhelming campaign of manipulation and coercion of one’s fellow man. How even more pathetic to think an American could be conscripted to such an evil task — propagandizing others, let alone one’s fellow Americans, in ‘public relations’ so-called fashion — in contravention to the spirit of our founding documents.

I wonder what would happen if intelligent Americans showed up at the next specious, fomented ostensibly spontaneous and organic ‘color revolutionary’ rally with screenshots of the Crowds on Demand home page — “Your home for protests, rallies, advocacy, audiences, PR stunts and political events. Services available nationwide.” — on signs, along with hashtags like #OperationGladio #OperationGladioB #StrategieOfTension #KnownWolf on signs,

…if Men are to be precluded from offering their Sentiments on a matter, which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences, that can invite the consideration of Mankind, reason is of no use to us; the freedom of Speech may be taken away, and, dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep, to the Slaughter.

George Washington, address to the officers of the army, Newburgh, New York (March 15, 1783); reported in John C. Fitzpatrick, ed, The Writings of George Washington (1938), vol. 26, p. 225.

Psychological warfare (PSYWAR), or the basic aspects of modern psychological operations (PSYOP), have been known by many other names or terms, including MISO, Psy Ops, political warfare, "Hearts and Minds", and propaganda. The term is used "to denote any action which is practiced mainly by psychological methods with the aim of evoking a planned psychological reaction in other people".

Psychological warfare - Wikipedia

If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, is it not possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing it?

Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928)

We are going to impose our agenda on the coverage by dealing with the issues and subjects we choose to deal with.

Richard M. Cohen, American journalist, television producer, and author. Former senior producer for CBS News and CNN, as noted by Eric Schaub in Facecrime (September 11, 2018)

What can we do?

* Virtue, morality, and religion is the umberella of all efforts, and conscience is the compass that guides, the rudder that steers.

* Associate and assemble locally. Stave off the 'pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance', or the one-size-fits-all approach that fits none of 'thinking globally and acting locally' — especially as the aforementioned are advocated from those technocratic overlords who've given us so many failed policy ideas already (e.g. the Group of Thirty).

* Celebrate — and fight for — freedom of speech, realizing it was chief among those rights which the Founders sought to enshrine specifically by enumeration.
