RACHEL TIPPED 1337 CORAL FOR THIS POST
Someone, somewhere in the world, has systematically printed millions (some say billions) of high quality, fake, US currency. And gotten away with it. Across the world occasional individuals or groups get arrested, but the criminal mastermind behind it seems to get away with impunity. More than that? There seems to be nothing anyone can do to stop it.
In the 1920s, the influential American intellectual Walter Lippman argued that the average person was incapable of seeing or understanding the world clearly and needed to be guided by experts behind the social curtain. In a number of books he laid out the theoretical foundations for the practical work of Edward Bernays, who developed “public relations” (aka propaganda) to carry out this task for the ruling elites. Bernays had honed his skills while working as a propagandist for the United States during World War I, and after the war he set himself up as a public relations counselor in New York City.
In the following years, Bernays, Lippman, and their ilk were joined by social “scientists,” psychologists, and sudry others intent on making a sham out of the idea of democracy by developing strategies and techniques for the engineering of social consensus consonant with the wishes of the ruling classes. Their techniques of propaganda developed exponentially with the development of technology, the creation of the CIA, its infiltration of all the major media, and that agency’s courting of what the CIA official Cord Meyer called in the 1950s “the compatible left,” having already had the right in its pocket. Today most people are, as is said, “wired,” and they get their information from the electronic media that is mostly controlled by giant corporations in cahoots with government propagandists. Ask yourself: Has the power of the oligarchic, permanent warfare state with its propaganda and spy networks increased or decreased over your lifetime. The answer is obvious: the average people that Lippman and Bernays trashed are losing and the ruling elites are winning.
“I thought the First Amendment applied here.”She leaned back in her chair, hands up, palms outfaced. Now she was on the defensive.“I’m not trying to tread upon your First Amendment rights,” she said. “All I’m saying is: Couldn’t you have run those First Amendment rights past the legal department first?”She dismissed me with the assurance that we would discuss the matter further at some point in the future.Most TSA officers I talked to told me they felt the agency’s day-to-day operations represented an abuse of public trust and funds.
