In the revelation of propaganda as a tool of public
mind control and its use for war marketing, it is worthwhile to examine the
historical background of Bernays' war effort. At the time, the European Zionist
Jews had made an agreement with England to bring the US into the war against
Germany, on the side of England, a favor for which England would grant the Jews
the occupation of Palestine for a new homeland. Palestine did not 'belong' to
England, it was not England's to give, and England had no legal or moral right
to make such an agreement, but it was made nonetheless. The Jews had created in
US President Wilson an intense desire to enter the war, but the American
population had no interest in the European war and public sentiment was
entirely against participating.
To facilitate the desired result, Wilson created a
body named the Committee on Public Information (CPI), to propagandise the war
by the mass brainwashing of America. The group was led by a muckraking
publicist/advertising man named George Creel, and the CPI was known as
"The Creel Commission", but it appears Creel was only a 'front', with
little contribution to the events that actually occurred. The CPI was staffed
with a heavy slate of psychologists and carefully-selected men from the media,
academia, advertising, and the movie and music industries. Two of the most
important members were Walter Lippmann, whom Wilson described as "the most
brilliant man of his age", and Edward Bernays, who was the group's top
mind-control expert, both Jews and both aware of the stakes in this game.
Bernays planned to combine his uncle Freud's psychiatric insights with mass
psychology, blended with modern advertising techniques, and apply them to the
task of mass mind control. Movies were already powerful new tools for
misinformation and opinion control, as was radio, and TV would soon be added to
this list.
