Episode 11, “Bernays’ Propaganda”
-Andrew For America discusses the Edward Bernays book, “Propaganda,” and talks about personal responsibility, developing yourself, and being able to identify media manipulation. He ends by reading the lyrics to the song, “Heads of State” by the band Pour Habit.
Show Notes:
My fellow Americans, today we discuss propaganda. Propaganda is important to understand because it is a powerful tool used by the elite, and it constitutes an “invisible government” that manufactures your consent and regiments public opinion.
In today's episode, I go in-depth about how my fellow Americans can benefit from understanding how propaganda is used against us. I thought this was important to talk about in this episode because for years I have been watching how effective media is at effecting and controlling the public mind. I highly recommend you go pick up the book, “Propaganda” by Edward Bernays. It is a must read for the discerning, educated American.
