“If we understand the mechanisms and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing it In almost every act of our daily 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 which control the public mind.”
~ Edward Bernays

So few people know who Edward Bernays was, much less how he shaped our current reality. I find this quote chilling. I hope people who read this quote will research who this man was, if they don’t already know.

He was a public relations person. I agree with you that people need to wake up, and realize what is going on, in this world of ours…

They teach this in Uni, the techniques. It is not a small amount of people anymore. It is an army 🙂 I wish we were not that gullible and ignorant.
