“WORSHIP THE SHRINE
TO REACH THE SUBLIME”
IS A WALL OF LIES
TOO STEEP TO CLIMB!
WE CANNOT BE FREE
WITH PRIESTS IN CONTROL
OF EMPTY PHILOSOPHY…
WHERE TRUTH IS UNKNOWN.
WE CHOSE NOT TO CLIMB
THE WALLS OF OUR MIND.
YET, WE ARE THE LIGHT
WE SEEK TO FIND!

ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
Don’t you just simply ADORE the aesthetic eloquence and elocutionary excellence of the British? After all, the English language was created in England from an ancient, evolutionary amalgamation of invading influences from the Romans, Vikings, French and Anglo Saxons, and other “civilized” and “barbaric” peoples of the European continent. Therefore, who is better suited to dispute the correct pronunciation and application of words in the English language that the English?! Hear, Hear!! (or is it “Here, Here”)?

PROPAGANDA AS PUBLIC MIND CONTROL

Edward Louis Bernays ( November 22, 1891 − March 9, 1995) was an Austrian-American pioneer in the field of public relations and propaganda, referred to in his obituary as “the father of public relations.” Bernays was named one of the 100 most influential Americans of the 20th century by Life. He was the subject of a full length biography by Larry Tye called The Father of Spin (1999) and later an award-winning 2002 documentary for the BBC by Adam Curtis called The Century of the Self.
His best-known campaigns include a 1929 effort to promote female smoking by branding cigarettes as feminist “Torches of Freedom“, and his work for the United Fruit Company in the 1950s, connected with the CIA-orchestrated overthrow of the democratically elected Guatemalan government in 1954. He worked for dozens of major American corporations including Procter & Gamble and General Electric, and for government agencies, politicians, and non-profit organizations.
Edward Bernays was born to a Jewish family, the son of Ely Bernays and Anna (Freud) Bernays. His great-grandfather was Isaac Bernays, chief rabbi of Hamburg. Bernays was a “double nephew” of Viennese psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud—by virtue of his mother, Freud’s sister, and of his father’s sister, Martha Bernays Freud, who married Sigmund.
Of his many books, Crystallizing Public Opinion (1923) and Propaganda (1928) gained special attention as early efforts to define and theorize the field of public relations. Citing works of writers such as Gustave Le Bon, Wilfred Trotter, Walter Lippmann, and Sigmund Freud (his own double uncle), he described the masses as irrational and subject to herd instinct—and outlined how skilled practitioners could use crowd psychology and psychoanalysis to control them in desirable ways.
