In this landmark 100th episode of Culture of Change, Ashe in America and Abbey Blue Eyes deliver a powerhouse discussion that blends personal insight, deep research, and narrative deconstruction like only they can. From Google's refusal to acknowledge Easter to the symbolic dominance of 666 in global institutions, the hosts explore the anti-Christian undertones of elite propaganda and the deeply spiritual war being waged in parallel to political and psychological ones. The conversation weaves through change management theory, the legacy of Edward Bernays, and the real-world application of Rules for Radicals, examining how centralized power manipulates social behavior under the guise of progress. Ashe brings in her background in corporate change communications to connect the dots between propaganda techniques used in the private sector and those used by globalist NGOs, intelligence networks, and media giants. They also go deep on Event 201, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and the “You Will Own Nothing” vision of the World Economic Forum. From Klaus Schwab's resignation to pandemic preparedness exercises run just before COVID, the evidence of planned global transformation is undeniable. Packed with biting humor, grounded faith, and righteous fire, this episode marks a new era for Culture of Change, and a serious wake-up call for anyone still trusting the system.
Operation Mockingbird is an alleged large-scale program of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) that began in the early years of the Cold War and attempted to manipulate domestic American news media organizations for propaganda purposes. At various times, under its own initiative or in accordance with directives from the President of the United States or the National Security Council staff, the CIA has attempted to influence public opinion both in the United States and abroad. What if this operation is still going on today? Thomas from Paranoid American connects with Joel as they look at the origins of Operation Mockingbird and its influence on global manipulation. They look at Edward Bernays, Katherine Graham and Frank Wisner, all integral pieces in the early formation of the CIA's media control operation. Lastly, Joel and Thomas fast forward to the modern exploitation of the music industry and what it means for the new Cold War that is upon us.

The Infinite Plane Radio broadcast on March 23, 2025, discussed several key topics centered around the hosts' perspective on world events and media narratives.A central theme was the prediction of an inevitable cyber pandemic. This idea stems from a clip featuring Candace Owens discussing the World Economic Forum's warnings and exercises regarding such an event. The host believes this will be used as a justification for shutting down the internet and implementing stricter censorship, possibly blaming right-wing extremism. This is linked to the concept of "Disease X," which the host believes will be a "mind virus" spread through platforms like X (formerly Twitter) rather than a biological virus.The host introduced a new product, "Exit Trutherville: A crash course in auto-hoaxology". This course aims to provide a framework for understanding media and psyops, targeting "truthers" who recognize mainstream lies but haven't fully grasped the integration of entertainment and news. It includes a video, a PDF "World Stage Deprogramming Guide," and graphic illustrations, focusing on concepts like active vs. passive media consumption. The course is available for purchase on Gumroad, with an affiliate program offering a referral fee.The broadcast delved into predictive programming and the idea that movies and drills often precede and shape public perception of real-world events. Examples included the movie "Canary Black" resembling a cyber nuke scenario and the 2019 coronavirus pandemic exercise mirroring the actual events. The host argues that these are not predictions of real events but rather simulations treated as real.Several current events were analyzed through this lens:The reported discovery of a vast city beneath the pyramids was dismissed as likely clickbait and a hoax. The host connects this to other fleeting narratives like global drone invasions and promised information from the Epstein and JFK files, suggesting a pattern of distraction.NASA's astronaut landing footage was described as looking like "pathetic CGI" and "100% garbage," raising questions about its authenticity. This skepticism extends to other space agency content, with a suggestion to use AI video detection software on older footage.The death of a 33-year-old bald eagle named Murphy on March 22 (3/22, associated with Skull and Bones) was linked to symbolism and predictive programming, contrasting the mainstream narrative of climate change with right-wing claims about wind turbines. The destruction of the Georgia Guidestones on 7/6/2022 (76 being George Bush Sr.'s age) was also revisited for its symbolic significance.The host noted the use of predictive programming proxies, such as celebrities like Robert De Niro and Rosie O'Donnell, whose public statements and past work allegedly align with ongoing psyops.The phenomenon of "swatting" targeting figures like Owen Shroyer was dismissed as likely performative and fake, lacking the characteristics of genuine swatting incidents.The host also discussed the importance of informed disbelief and the concept of narrative control, where an arbitrary starting point is established to shape understanding. The broadcast touched on the nature of truthers' cognitive dissonance and the strategic targeting of this group with the "Exit Trutherville" course.Finally, the host solicited suggestions for required reading and viewing for the IPS think tank, mentioning personal favorites like William Gibson's "Neuromancer," Sun Tzu's "The Art of War," and Edward Bernays' "Propaganda". The host also mentioned using AI (Perplexity) to assist with transcript analysis and link extraction for the newsletter archives.EXIT TRUTHERVILLE https://timozman.gumroad.com/l/bsure
On the show, we discuss the origins of propaganda to include a reminder of Edward Bernays, Joseph Goebbles and the Communist Party in the Soviet Union. This leads to discussion of our education system and how the one-size-fits-all approach continues to put too much emphasis on a test and nothing on getting kids to learn how to think. You will either use technology as a tool or you will become a tool. This also leads to a discussion over what elements need to exist to be considered terrorism? Then, ask what's the difference between the methods used by Hamas and those being employed today by the Left. Then, during the Vulcan Mind-meld segment, BK and I discuss siblings, the difference between only kids and having siblings and then close with more on Daredevil Born Again.

Michelle Stiles discusses her excellent book "One Idea To Rule Them All: Reverse Engineering American Propaganda" where she describes how we are being "idea bullied" and that the elite have a near all-encompassing grip on information at all levels of society and governance. She goes through some of the key history and players which include Gustave Le Bon, Edward Bernays, and Walter Lippmann and discusses "Operation Sheepskin" and "Operation Spider's Web". There are a number of things we need to do to reverse course.

She has previously authored two works: Fast Track Your Recovery from a Total Knee Replacement: How to Eliminate Pain and Pain Medicine the Quickest Way Possible and Color and Laugh Your Way to Knee Replacement Recovery. While the writing of One Idea to Rule Them All by a physical therapist may seem like a metaphysical oddity or quirk of the universe, it is simply the product of an active mind in the quest for truth. The barriers to accurate perception today are plentiful and well laid out in this book, which serves as a concise guide to unveiling the machinations of idea bullying so that they are easily recognizable by those of high school age and beyond; to those of both right and left persuasion-in short, to anyone who senses in their bones that something in the world is off-kilter and can't quite put their finger on the source. *Podcast intro music is from the song "The Queens Jig" by "Musicke & Mirth" from their album "Music for Two Lyra Viols": http://musicke-mirth.de/en/recordings.html (available on iTunes or Amazon)
Glenn dives further into the DEI initiatives plaguing NASA, which he exposed during his latest TV special. During the special, Glenn exposed how DEI policies have infiltrated not only our military but also an area you would least expect: NASA's upcoming moon missions. It's all laid out in a $100 billion NASA propaganda playbook that you were never supposed to see, called the Artemis Playbook, exclusively obtained through a whistleblower. Glenn tells the story of the father of propaganda, Edward Bernays, who inspired Obama's Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, which brought propaganda back into the government. Glenn speaks with retired Air Force Brigadier General Christopher Walker, who was featured in Glenn's explosive DEI NASA special, who further dives into the DEI rot that President Trump is rooting out of our government. Glenn, Stu, and Jason Buttrill further discuss how Obama's Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 legally allowed the government to lie to you. Counterterrorism expert Ryan Mauro joins to discuss the evidence that allegedly proves Mahmoud Khalil posed an actual terror threat to the U.S. Glenn and Stu discuss the latest update in Greenland.

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Andrew Altschuler, a researcher, educator, and navigator at Tana, Inc., who also founded Tana Stack. Their conversation explores knowledge systems, complexity, and AI, touching on topics like network effects in social media, information warfare, mimetic armor, psychedelics, and the evolution of knowledge management. They also discuss the intersection of cognition, ontologies, and AI's role in redefining how we structure and retrieve information. For more on Andrew's work, check out his course and resources at altshuler.io and his YouTube channel.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Guest Background00:33 The Demise of AirChat00:50 Network Effects and Social Media Challenges03:05 The Rise of Digital Warlords03:50 Quora's Golden Age and Information Warfare08:01 Building Limbic Armor16:49 Knowledge Management and Cognitive Armor18:43 Defining Knowledge: Secular vs. Ultimate25:46 The Illusion of Insight31:16 The Illusion of Insight32:06 Philosophers of Science: Popper and Kuhn32:35 Scientific Assumptions and Celestial Bodies34:30 Debate on Non-Scientific Knowledge36:47 Psychedelics and Cultural Context44:45 Knowledge Management: First Brain vs. Second Brain46:05 The Evolution of Knowledge Management54:22 AI and the Future of Knowledge Management58:29 Tana: The Next Step in Knowledge Management59:20 Conclusion and Course InformationKey InsightsNetwork Effects Shape Online Communities – The conversation highlighted how platforms like Twitter, AirChat, and Quora demonstrate the power of network effects, where a critical mass of users is necessary for a platform to thrive. Without enough engaged participants, even well-designed social networks struggle to sustain themselves, and individuals migrate to spaces where meaningful conversations persist. This explains why Twitter remains dominant despite competition and why smaller, curated communities can be more rewarding but difficult to scale.Information Warfare and the Need for Cognitive Armor – In today's digital landscape, engagement-driven algorithms create an arena of information warfare, where narratives are designed to hijack emotions and shape public perception. The only real defense is developing cognitive armor—critical thinking skills, pattern recognition, and the ability to deconstruct media. By analyzing how information is presented, from video editing techniques to linguistic framing, individuals can resist manipulation and maintain autonomy over their perspectives.The Role of Ontologies in AI and Knowledge Management – Traditional knowledge management has long been overlooked as dull and bureaucratic, but AI is transforming the field into something dynamic and powerful. Systems like Tana and Palantir use ontologies—structured representations of concepts and their relationships—to enhance information retrieval and reasoning. AI models perform better when given structured data, making ontologies a crucial component of next-generation AI-assisted thinking.The Danger of Illusions of Insight – Drawing from ideas by Balaji Srinivasan, the episode distinguished between genuine insight and the illusion of insight. While psychedelics, spiritual experiences, and intense emotional states can feel revelatory, they do not always produce knowledge that can be tested, shared, or used constructively. The ability to distinguish between profound realizations and self-deceptive experiences is critical for anyone navigating personal and intellectual growth.AI as an Extension of Human Cognition, Not a Second Brain – While popular frameworks like "second brain" suggest that digital tools can serve as externalized minds, the episode argued that AI and note-taking systems function more as extended cognition rather than true thinking machines. AI can assist with organizing and retrieving knowledge, but it does not replace human reasoning or creativity. Properly integrating AI into workflows requires understanding its strengths and limitations.The Relationship Between Personal and Collective Knowledge Management – Effective knowledge management is not just an individual challenge but also a collective one. While personal knowledge systems (like note-taking and research practices) help individuals retain and process information, organizations struggle with preserving and sharing institutional knowledge at scale. Companies like Tesla exemplify how knowledge isn't just stored in documents but embodied in skilled individuals who can rebuild complex systems from scratch.The Increasing Value of First Principles Thinking – Whether in AI development, philosophy, or practical decision-making, the discussion emphasized the importance of grounding ideas in first principles. Great thinkers and innovators, from AI researchers like Demis Hassabis to physicists like David Deutsch, excel because they focus on fundamental truths rather than assumptions. As AI and digital tools reshape how we interact with knowledge, the ability to think critically and question foundational concepts will become even more essential.
Completing our foray into advertising, mostly using Antony's talk on Julian Charles's excellent podcast ‘The Mind Renewed' back in 2015, we dive deeper into Edward Bernays's work and then segue into the darker underbelly of the craft, including the engineering of a military coup and the truly egregious and unethical snaring of innocent hearts and minds involved in advertising to children. On a lighter note we mention a few points made in Neil Sanders's very entertaining presentation called ‘The Art of Creating Reality' (see show notes). From there we talk about an excellent short video called ‘Your Lifestyle Has Already Been Designed' (see show notes again) and how we have been trapped into a certain way of life. There are a few words from Antony at the end of the talk on this subject, and Antony and Julian offer some advice for combatting the controlling force of advertising.

Keeping Up With Kanye ft. Rap Game Edward BernaysFeb 24, 2022Was Kanye West's mother Donda murdered as revenge for his “George Bush doesn't care about black people” rant? That's the question that Twitter provocateur, propaganda enthusiast, and “Free Kanye” activist Rap Game Edward Bernays (@Edward__Bernays) uses to maintain his pro-Kanye self-identity whenever his favorite rapper does something cringe. RGEB joins The Opperman Report to discuss Yeezy's chaotic and controversial career, but through a more sympathetic lens than how the media usually portrays Kanye West in the demonization campaign that Hollywood's been running against him for over 16 years.. Ed and Ed discuss: —Kanye's Hurricane Katrina rant and Donda West's suspicious death —Ye's latest Instagram antics where he exposed the psyop cabal of Kim Kardashian, Pete Davidson, Ellen Degeneres, and Bob Iger —The 2016 rant that got Kanye sent to the mental hospital —The CIA sending Fembot girlfriends at Yeezy to control him —Whether Kanye's MAGA period was a performance art piece —Kanye's recent interview where he said they'd have to suicide him to silence him —And more!

Our show opens with a short lesson about the father of Public Relations and a person who transformed marketing via propaganda. We talk a bit about Edward Bernays and how it leads to the Smith-Mundt Act and then Barack Obama and color revolution initiatives being waged on Americans. We use this as a backdrop to remind us how so much information out there has been tainted and is not truth, but propaganda. We get good news with another win for President Trump when RFK, Jr. was confirmed to become the new HHS Secretary. We learned that the man responsible for so much of the lawfare against Trump prior to his win, is still being orchestrated by Marc Elias. A big shout-out to Insurrection Barbie for her help with that. Also, Sen. Chuck Grassley (D-IA) confirms prosecutor Jack Smith withheld evidence from Donald Trump's lawyers. EPA Secretary Lee Zeldin said they found the “gold bars” that had been “thrown off the Titanic” and his team is working with the IG and the Justice Department to prosecute those involved. The DOGE subcommittee found over $2.7 trillion dollars in lost payments since 2003. We wonder why none of this has been reported and that when we notice Reuters writing negative pieces about DOGE. A quick look and we discover the DoD paid them for deception! Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) shows us what a blithering idiot she is when she says Musk and his team are “hacking” into the Treasury. It's a shame I have to explain basic concepts to people who pretend to be educated. At the same time, the CEO of LexisNexus says adding a robust ID system, getting rid of self-certification and monitoring back-end programs would save the country $1 trillion dollars annually. Former rep from Wisconsin, Dean Phillips wonders why Democrats don't get on board the DOGE movement? CNN Senior Legal Correspondent Paula Reid confirmed yesterday that Trump does have the authority to let Federal employees voluntarily resign for a severance package. That's a massive blow to the Federal union bosses. RFK, Jr.'s daughter-in-law, Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, a former CIA officer is going to join Trump's intelligence advisory board. AG Pam Bondi is suing Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY), AG Letitia James, and NY DMV Commissioner Mark Shroeder for defying federal law in protecting illegals. And, finally, Mad Maxine Waters is worried about what Musk and his team “have on them?” Please take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop speaks with Dimetri Kofinas, host of Hidden Forces, about the transition from an "age of answers" to an "age of questions." They explore the implications of AI and large language models on human cognition, the role of narrative in shaping society, and the destabilizing effects of trauma on belief systems. The conversation touches on media manipulation, the intersection of technology and consciousness, and the existential dilemmas posed by transhumanism.

Dimetri Kofinas and Stewart Alsop discuss how society is moving away from a model where authority figures and institutions provide definitive answers and toward one where individuals must critically engage with uncertainty. This transition is both exciting and destabilizing, as it forces us to rethink long-held assumptions and develop new ways of making sense of the world.AI is revealing the limits of human uniqueness. Large language models (LLMs) can replicate much of what we consider intellectual labor, from conversation to knowledge retrieval, forcing us to ask: What remains distinctly human? The discussion suggests that while AI can mimic thought patterns and compress vast amounts of information, it lacks the capacity for true embodied experience, creative insight, and personal revelation—qualities that define human consciousness.Narrative control is a fundamental mechanism of power. Whether through media, social networks, or propaganda, the ability to shape narratives determines what people believe to be true. The conversation highlights how past and present authorities—from Edward Bernays' early propaganda techniques to modern AI-driven social media algorithms—have leveraged this power to direct public perception and behavior, often with unforeseen consequences.Trauma is a tool for reshaping belief systems. Societal upheavals, such as 9/11, the 2008 financial crisis, and COVID-19, create psychological fractures that leave people vulnerable to radical shifts in worldview. In moments of crisis, individuals seek order, making them more susceptible to new ideologies—whether grounded in reality or driven by manipulation. This dynamic plays a key role in how misinformation and conspiracy theories gain traction.The free market alone cannot regulate the modern information ecosystem. While libertarian ideals advocate for minimal intervention, Kofinas argues that the chaotic nature of unregulated information systems—especially social media—leads to dangerous feedback loops that amplify division and disinformation. He suggests that democratic institutions must play a role in establishing transparency and oversight to prevent unchecked algorithmic manipulation.Transhumanism is both a technological pursuit and a philosophical problem. The belief that human consciousness can be uploaded or replicated through technology is based on a materialist assumption that denies the deeper mystery of subjective experience. The discussion critiques the arrogance of those who claim we can fully map and transfer human identity onto machines, highlighting the philosophical and ethical dilemmas this raises.The struggle between centralization and decentralization is accelerating. The digital age is simultaneously fragmenting traditional institutions while creating new centers of power. AI, geopolitics, and financial systems are all being reshaped by this tension. The conversation explores how Argentina's libertarian experiment under Javier Milei exemplifies this dynamic, raising questions about whether decentralization can work without strong institutional foundations or whether chaos inevitably leads back to authoritarianism.

Following on from the propaganda multi-parter at the end of last year, this time we dive into a topic with quite a lot of overlap, namely advertising. The bulk of the content comes from a talk that Antony did on Julian Charles's excellent podcast ‘The Mind Renewed' back in 2015. Despite the time that has passed since the talk, most of the general thrust of advertising has been in place for a long time so we are confident that the information is still relevant and hopefully useful. In Part 1 we talk about what advertising is and some of the techniques employed by advertisers to sell products.

Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson is the bestselling author of 12 books including his very controversial & important book, The Assault on Truth: Freud's Suppression of the Seduction Theory. Jeffrey is well known for his work on Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis, and in his book The Assault on Truth, Jeffrey argues that Freud may have abandoned his seduction theory to help cover up or suppress how common sexual abuse was in this wealthy, upper class community.JEFFREY MASSON:Website: https://www.jeffreymasson.com/Book: https://www.jeffreymasson.com/books/the-assault-on-truth.htmlBlog: https://jeffreymasson.wordpress.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jeffrey.m.massonX: https://x.com/jeffreymmassonIG: https://www.instagram.com/jeffrey.m.masson/THE RIPPLE EFFECT PODCAST:WEBSITE: http://TheRippleEffectPodcast.comWebsite Host & Video Distributor: https://ContentSafe.co/SUPPORT:PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/TheRippleEffectPodcastPayPal: https://www.PayPal.com/paypalme/RvTheory6VENMO: https://venmo.com/code?user_id=3625073915201071418&created=1663262894Send BitCoin: bc1qh0w0xyud67gvexwenh9fszzqy0np799h9qffyqSend Ethereum: 0xfeda6Da1EE8Aa06E0d63272c886277153C1ef34dMERCH Store: http://www.TheRippleEffectPodcastMerch.comMUSIC: https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-ripple-effect-ep/1057436436WATCH:RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/c-745495YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVfy9MXhb5EIciYRIO9cKUwLISTEN:SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/4lpFhHI6CqdZKW0QDyOicJiTUNES: http://apple.co/1xjWmlFCONNECT:TeleGram: https://t.me/TREpodcastX: https://x.com/RvTheory6THE UNION OF THE UNWANTED: https://linktr.ee/TheUnionOfTheUnwanted

Couple that with the frenetic babble of pundits and political operatives drunk with the prospect of proximity to power and it's all a bit much.So today's letter features thinkers much greater than I, who knew EXACTLY how this game is played.“There is nothing new under the sun” King Solomon, Ecclesiastes“The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies... is a foolish idea. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can throw the rascals out at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy.” Carroll Quigley, Tragedy & Hope“We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. 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”Edward Bernays, Propaganda“The devil always sends errors into the world in pairs--pairs of opposites. And he always encourages us to spend a lot of time thinking which is the worse. You see why, of course? He relies on your extra dislike of the one error to draw you gradually into the opposite one.” C.S.

"National Socialism has no aggressive intentions against any European nation." -Adolf Hitler, Proclamation opening the party congress at Nuremberg on September 11, 1935.More from my WWII government resource which is essentially the playbook for how Hitler and his Third Reich took control. So much of this story revolves around carefully constructed propaganda--and some of it coming out of America with Edward Bernays. Today's episode examines how the masses were controlled by slogans, certain repeated messages, and BIG LIES.Source: "NATIONAL SOCIALISM: BASIC PRINCIPLES, THEIR APPLICATION BY THE NAZI PARTY'S FOREIGN ORGANIZATION, AND THE USE OF GERMANS ABROAD FOR NAZI AIMS" by Raymond E.

Are we doing enough to change the way we shop for clothes? Is the sustainable fashion movement making any progress? Find out the reality in this episode of The Enoughness. Melanie talks to Rachel Arthur, one of the most influential women in fashion you may never have heard of. Why? Rachel created the United Nations Sustainable Fashion Playbook, a guide for influencers and fashion communicators to inspire us all to buy less crap, and love and appreciate clothes more.In this episode we trash fashion headlines, dig into influencers on the shill, discuss the joy of renting Ganni, throw shade on Edward Bernays, and share why knowing all this stuff matters.Rachel also talks about the legislation that could change everything for fast fashion, why she nearly gave it all up, and how, like Goldilocks, she carefully worked out her version of “just right” and changed her life in inspirational ways.

Andrew For America follows up on some of his previous points from previous episodes. He talks about how the mass migration that is occurring in Europe and in the United States is not happening by accident, how Zionists allegedly invented Islamic terrorism, why all of our screens are "blue-lit," how the money is fake and printed to buy everything and everyone, the seemingly communist WEF agenda, predictive programming in the movie "I Am Legend," the tyranny of convenience, Sigmund Freud, Edward Bernays, satanism, Judaism, the Pope, the Vatican, divine right, and how most people lack self-awareness. Andrew plays clips from the Prime Minister of Hungary, Ken O'Keefe, Candace Owens, Jordan Maxwell, Bret Weinstein, and others to help illustrate his points.The song selection is the song, "I Want You" by the band Fast Food Fairies.

Sermon Resources: 1. “The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.” -Ecclesiastes 1:8 2. “Desire alone, of acquiring goods and possessions for ourselves and our nearest friends, is insatiable, perpetual, universal.” -David Hume, "A Treatise of Human Nature" 3. "I can't get no satisfaction." -Mick Jagger, "Satisfaction" 4. “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 a 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, "Propaganda" 5. “Our enormously productive economy demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying and use of goods into rituals, that we seek our spiritual satisfaction, our ego satisfaction, in consumption…The greater the pressures upon the individual to conform to safe and accepted social standards, the more he tends to express his aspirations and his individuality in terms of what he wears, drives, eats, his home, his car, his food, his hobbies. We need things consumed, burned up, worn out, replaced, and discarded at an ever-increasing pace. We need to have people eat, drink, ride, live with ever more complicated and, therefore, constantly more expensive consumption. ” -Victor Lebow, "The Journal of Retailing: 1955" 6.

Unhappy? Unattractive? Unsuccessful? Unmarried? Unfulfilled? Come to Christ and he'll give you all these things you asked for. We forget that God is not primarily in the business of meeting our wants. When we make him out to be, we squeeze him out of his rightful place at the center of our lives, and we put ourselves in his place. God is in the business of being God - of redeeming and restoring and forgiving and healing and loving. Christianity cannot be reduced to meeting peoples' wants, and when we make it so, we invariably distort the Gospel message.” -David Henderson, "Culture Shift" 8.

In 1990, Life magazine named Edward Bernays on its list of the 100 most important Americans of the 20th century. Yet few Americans have ever heard of Bernays. He was an early innovator in the field of public relations who pioneered techniques of mass manipulation that, among many things, altered the consumer habits of Americans and even toppled a Central American government. This final episode of Season 1 examines how Bernays helped create the progressive deference to experts in government, which also created a larger culture of experts affecting — and often manipulating — all areas of our life. Sponsors Jase Wouldn't it be nice if you lived in a country where you didn't have to constantly worry that your government is lying to you? A country where you could take it for granted that those in charge weren't making decisions based on what they think is in your best interest — and not what you think is? History shows us, unfortunately, that the more bloated a government gets, the more this happens.

Manchurian Candidates?This really should have been obvious to us all along.The palace intrigue is at new height from Biden to Bannon to Trump & it's frankly … ?It's impossible to cover it all (in context and with accuracy) much less make sense of it.From Clinton to Bush to Obama to Trump. Who is the invisible hand?And how can we reclaim liberty and our constitutional republic?Democracy seems has failed and the vision of the 20th Century progressives seems to be firmly rooted in Washington, DC.Carroll Quigley:“The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies... is a foolish idea. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can throw the rascals out at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies.”Edward Bernays:“We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.”Ed Dowd:“The most disturbing thing about the MSM turning on Biden is that about half the country had to be told by the propagandists it's a problem now. They couldn't have their own discernment and use their own minds to see it. The biggest danger to the republic are these empty vessels of humanity.“They sit around waiting for the propaganda download.”Edward Bernays:"If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without them knowing it."Here's the good news:The binary electoral choice is a lie.You DO NOT have to choose evil.Vote your conscience. ❤️Please support our sponsors!SPECIAL Deal For Shannon Joy Viewers from Omaha Steaks!Go to https://www.omahasteaks.com and save 50% OFF SITEWIDE during the 4th of July Sale!

This week in politics: The U.S. Supreme Court gives Donald Trump the best possible gift: the longest possible delay in his federal trials In Michigan, a new state Senate map from the Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission Louisiana's Ten-Commandments-In-Every-Classroom law is challenged in the courts even as Oklahoma requires biblical training in public schools The Supreme Court also handed down a ruling which legalizes a form of political bribery Michigan's Legislature finalizes an $82.5-billion budget that targets education and economic development And two senior citizens got into an argument about golf in Atlanta last night. We will devote most of the podcast to that argument and other things they discussed. We are joined by one of Michigan's top political communications experts, Dr. Richard Cole. Cole was Governor Blanchard's communications chief and later Blanchard's chief of staff. He later chaired Michigan State University's nationally respected Department of Advertising and Public Relations. He also served as the top communications man at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, working under company president Richard Whitmer … and was a close unofficial adviser to Whitmer's daughter in her first campaign for Governor. Cole's mentors include the legendary Dr. Edward Bernays, the creator of modern public relations whose principles of PR are still the standard a century later both within and outside of politics. =========================== This episode is sponsored in part by EPIC ▪ MRA, a full service survey research firm with expertise in: • Public Opinion Surveys • Market Research Studies • Live Telephone Surveys • On-Line and Automated Surveys • Focus Group Research • Bond Proposals - Millage Campaigns • Political Campaigns & Consulting • Ballot Proposals - Issue Advocacy Research • Community - Media Relations • Issue - Image Management • Database Development & List Management =========================== NEW: The 34 for 45 Commemorative Mug Get your "34 for 45" mug today!
[originally published on Patreon March 13, 2024] I begin the episode with the elephant in the room - the Dulles brothers owning United Fruit Company stock. I explore Sullivan & Cromwell's connections to UFC as well as the Cabot family's ownership of UFC stock, and other government insiders. Depending on your inclinations, you can tell the story of the 1954 coup from the perspective of UFC or the CIA, but as it turns out, UFC and CIA were working symbiotically the whole time and were influencing each other in complicated feedback-loop ways. I tell the story of Operation PBFORTUNE, the CIA's first attempt to overthrow the Arbenz government. Before that point, UFC hired Edward Bernays to promote the sale of bananas and to manage PR via weaponizing the Red Scare to go from the defensive to the offensive. I discuss the dire state of US journalism about Guatemala. I go into the CIA's infiltration into the American Federation of Labor's attempts to do labor organizing in Guatemala. Then came the lobbying, with UFC first buying Democrats via Tommy the Cork Corcoran, then Republicans via John Clements. They acquired Castillo Armas, of whom much will be spoken soon. Along the way, InterArmCo and Howard Hughes show up, and various Latin American countries were bought off. Arbenz outwitted the State Department's arms embargo but lost the war when their covert weapons purchase was revealed in the press. I argue that Arbenz was not the political babe in the woods or naif that he's been made out to be. Finally, I cover Guatemala's increasing isolation on the world stage before the events of June 1954.

The FALSE CHOICE paradigm which defines ‘Selection 2024' barrels onward as CNN unsurprisingly boots Bobby Kennedy Jr. from the debate stage despite double digit national polling and massive ballot success over the past 3 months.Once again Americans are forced to choose between FAKE candidates in a rigged election. The vision of completely controlled ‘democratic' choices envisioned by people like Edward Bernal's has come to FULL fruition in this latest control tactic of the governing elite.Edward Bernays wrote in Propaganda:“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. ...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.

BEST OF: TMZ Presents: UFO Revolution is yet another in-depth look at whistleblowers and evidence the U.S. Government supposedly has in its possession about the subject. Without disparaging the documentary series, it is important to note that having never studied the phenomenon one may be enthralled with countless new details that appear to emerge. For those who have dedicated any time looking at the subject much of the documentary is nothing more than a rehashing of things we have know in record for at least 70+ years, with a mix of official congressional hearings. We have debated the existence, purpose, and assumed occupants of these assumed craft for generations with little consideration for other possibilities: (1) what exists beyond visible light, which is only a small percentage of the rainbow of radiation (2) what can be experienced in altered states of consciousness which may link us to other worlds and ecosystems like a computer terminal links us to an invisible Internet, or sleep to a dream world (3) Fata Morgana mirages of flying ships (4) Mass Psychogenic-like illnesses described as the development of symptoms from collective anxieties that have no identifiable cause (5) psychic projections caused by psychic stressors that may continue to be seen long after their trigger point (6) mass drugging of the population, both legal and illegal, mixed with thousands of chemicals interacted with daily, and the natural production of DMT produced by the body (7) chronic stress, fear, and lack of both proper nutrition and sleep (8) the overlapping of various phenomenon We must also consider the strictly psychological in regard to the countless streaming UFO documentaries, alongside the decades of military and intelligence community influence on the same subject. One of the founders and CEOs of Netflix, for example, was Marc Bernays Randolph, whose paternal great-grand uncle was psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, and whose paternal great-uncle was Edward Bernays, the father of propaganda. Bernays' 1928 book Propaganda was essentially used in the 1953 Robertson Panel Report on the perception management campaign (public relations) of UFOs. When factoring in Carl Jung's seemingly forgotten analysis of the UFO phenomenon the same stale arguments and debates evaporate and a whole new world is opened to the senses.-FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachingsTwitter: https://twitter.com/TST___RadioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachingsWEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early show access): http://thesecretteachings.infoPaypal: rdgable@yahoo.comCashApp: $rdgableBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tstradioSUBSCRIBE TO NETWORK: http://aftermath.mediaEMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.com

"Bohemian GrOVO (IV)" will also be an exclusive, so get in here, dood!!! patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping In this penultimate Bohemian GrOVO ep, we finally embark upon the climactic auditory panel in this parapolitical & rap esotericism triptych, namely our forensic recreation of the uncanniness surrounding the AstroWorld mass ritual. Talking AstroWorld as Mass Ritual: a tip of the hat to SK Bain's landmark schizo book; the numerological significance of the date on which AstroWorld fest in Houston fell (11/05/21 & the early morning of 11/06 -> 11s evoking 9/11 & Crowley; a couple 5s—evoking death & thresholds—in both the date & the digit sum of 2021); NukSantiago's firsthand account of seeing a sea of dead bodies on the floor & his characterization of the event as an "Illuminati ritual" & "demonic"; 11/06 — 6's Satanic significance; chaos in the crowd & vid of medic's resuscitating ppl as Travis & Drake cont playing; an ICU nurse & Nuk attesting to dragging dead bodies out; the meta & ARG quality of the AstroWorld advertising, which freakily foreshadowed the fact the fest would become a major cultural moment & source of conspiracy theorizing; Weekly World News & Nat'l Enquirer vibes in promo materials; the metatextual quality is deepened by the full page tabloid ads in the Houston Chronicle; Travis -> Bat Boy; "injecting the city" (glowing in pandemic context); "when the end arrives, it's really the beginning"; "See You On the Other Side" preempting mass casualty; Travis's song "Escape Plan" creepily mirroring ppl's exp of escaping the crush of bodies; Travis's "Franchise" music vid evoking Jodorowsky's "The Holy Mountain"; Qabalistic Sephirot significance of the 3rd iteration of AstroWorld; an occulted close reading of the stage design; a portal w/ rings symbolizing Circles of Hell; the mtns evoking Twin Peaks & vaguely resembling the Bohemian Grove altar; OVO - Bohemian Grove Minervan Owl symmetries; a brief history of the club; its Romantic poetry & literal Bohemian origins; morphing into elite boys club bacchanal; past participants like Hoover, Lyndon Johnson, Nixon, Reagan, OSS founder, Bob Weir (Courtney Love connex), & more recently Clarence Thomas visiting w/ Nazi artifact collecting oligarch Harlan Crowe; the story regarding Drizzy's shell corp LLC "Silence Policy", which likely served some sex traffick purpose, evoking initiatic & secret societies' code of silence; "Weaving Spiders Come Here Not"; "Cremation of Care" play & effigy burning; what are the chances Drizzy has visited Bohemian Grove?; the hyping of AstroWorld as this legendary fest & Travis encouraging ragers to gatecrash; the refusal of the sponsors & streamers ( A p p l e & L I v e N a t I o n, iirc) to stop the proceedings & help the dying; a capitalist sacrifice to Mammon, where profit motive outweighed safety; stories of security guards pricked w/ fent needles dropping after the event (later retracted), perhaps serving as a distraction...; Travis - "No Bystanders" & the Bystander effect; Utopian & Dystopian subtext; Travis's shirt w/ stick figures falling through a portal—an xtra dimension to the ritual sacrificial altar dressing; the "Franchise" vid evoking mass MK w/ its stampede of sheep (sheeple) & possibly hinting at the crowd crush; the Hand of Fatima / Hamsa imagery in the poster; Right Hand & Left Hand Path of magic; a Ouija Board planchette visual allusion; an academic paper on Satanic imagery & symbolism at Travis Scott's AstroWorld published by an Indonesian Uni, which Klonny cites for the Hieronymus Bosch allusion contained in the Travis mouth fest entrance, which evokes "Christ in Lambo", itself a representation of the Gate of Hell; & so much more....

Certified Pedophiles" and the Weinstein comparison, which reminds Klonny of his sus reading of the Drake team's foreknowledge of Harvey's imminent downfall & Drake's savvy media manipulation of his decision to turn down a potential role in a Weinstein Co film, which was spun as evidence of Drake's feminism (laughable in retrospect when compared w/ the reams of evidence of grooming & likely sex blackmail we're compiling); the symbolic symmetries b/w Drake's OVO label imprint & Bohemian Grove, the hedonistic secret society up in the Redwoods in Cali that has counted some of the wealthiest & most powerful capitalist & political elite among its number; the "Atlanta" Drake party ep, which is highly interesting when reexamined in light of the cresting divulgences of Drake misbehavior; a comparison of the bussing in of models to "True Detective" Season 2 and the Bohemian Grove/ Eyes Wide Shut-esque sex lodge; the "Euphoria" connection, which will take us to Israel, I O F's Intel Corps, and potentially into the v heart of the M o s s a d i s t Epstein network itself; the shooting of Drake's security guard outside "The Embassy" recently; Rob Ford; a ticker tape of NDAs; the parapolitical research & multimedia aspects of Kendrick Lamar's "Meet the Grahams" cover; Klonny's contention the Maybach gloves are a double entendre evoking OJ Simpson (and possibly setting the stage for subliminals hinting at Drake's hand in XXXTentacion's death, for which Rap Game presents a compelling case)...

This week's show begins a new series called Democracy Propaganda and it focuses on the techniques and tactics developed from the work of Sigmund Freud, his nephew, father of Public Relations, Edward Bernays and Walter Lippmann. It will show how the Wilson administration formed a group called The Committee On Public Information to trick the non-interventionist American public into a war that had nothing to do with them. This domestic propaganda dept used every means necessary and hired big business PR men to form various ways to essentially brainwash the minds of the public and so, the war to end all wars, became the war that began eternal war. As Lippman put it, the quest for "World Democracy" began and it's been downhill ever since. We'll also look at numerous authors along the way, and talk about the study of group behaviors, psychological warfare and the quest to learn how to control the minds of the masses. Join me as we go down the rabbit hole once again, far beyond the mainstream! Cheers and Blessings.Support My Work: https://www.patreon.com/theoddmanout

This weeks show begins a new series called Democracy Propaganda where we go over the history of the pioneers of modern Public Relations, mind control, and all things related. This episode focuses on Edward Bernays' predecessor, Walter Lippmann who wrote the famous books Public Opinion 1922, and Phantom Public 1925. Lippmann was an American Fabian, and early member of The Council On Foreign Relations, and worked for the OSS, and eventually wrote for The New Republic and various mainstream news outlets. We touch on the American Fabians and find a surprise link to TWDSO. We'll get into Sigmund Freud who was Bernays' uncle, and eventually, the father of PR himself in coming episodes. Oh, and this series wouldn't be complete without also taking another look at the Tavistock Institute as well. Now, time to get down that rabbit hole, far beyond the mainstream!
