Subject: Thought Control 101 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Subscriber, An accomplished tyrant does his propaganda in such a way that it doesn't get noticed. And if not for the internet, the American tyrants, and their mouthpieces in the mainsteam media, would be getting away with it. Check out the following YouTube video, unmistakably demonstrating statist propaganda disguised as "news," following by an excerpt from my book, "How To Be a Successful Tyrant." Think they've been reading my book? First, the video clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMIm8qsJupY Now for the quote. - ----------< from "How To Be a Successful Tyrant": >---------- Fake Popular Opinion If you can't dupe a majority of the people into actually supporting your agenda, just lie about it: tell your peasants that most people support your agenda. Make up or badly distort "poll" results. ... Unless they bother to do a poll of their own, they will never know that you lied. Even if the support is completely fabricated, as long as most peasants believe it exists, violent resistance will be very unlikely. Even vocal opposition will be reduced, as peasants are usually too insecure to voice opinions they believe are unpopular, even if in reality they are not. ... People, particularly the weak-minded, want to "fit in" more than they want to know the truth. If 100 peasants believe "A," but you can convince each one of them that the other 99 believe "B" instead, very few will still publicly state A. And if only 10 dare to speak out in favor of A, the other 90 will each assume that only ten other people believe in A. Each will believe himself to be in the minority, and will therefore censor himself, rather than risking saying something he thinks is unpopular. In this manner, it is fairly easy to shame most of your peasants into either supporting you or at least not publicly criticizing you. Only the rare peasant will be self-confident enough to be the one to stand up and say, "The emperor has no clothes!" The few who do should immediately be targeted with demonization and slander campaigns (discussed more below), to convince all the other people—who each privately agrees that "the emperor has no clothes"—that only a wacko, fringe kook would think such a thing. This technique can even become self-sustaining because most peasants, in order to fit in and feel accepted by the mainstream, will repeat your bashings of the alleged "radical fringe" beliefs, even if they themselves actually share the belief in their private thoughts. As a result, you may have 100 peasants who believe "A," while telling each other that they believe "B" for fear of public scorn and ridicule. For purposes of faking popular opinion, you should also manufacture "adoring masses" for yourself. Whenever you give a speech, fill the place with paid supporters (such as the people who work for you anyway), and instruct them to applaud wildly at every inane comment you make. The image of cheering throngs, giving the appearance that you have widespread, enthusiastic support, will give a subconscious suggestion to the conformist tendencies of the observing peasants about how they should react to your tripe. After all (your subjects will think), if all those people adore you, you must be a good guy. - ----------< end of quote >------------ Note, the laws against censorship apply to the "government," not the media. So the collectivist lapdogs can spin, lie, cover up, slander, fabricate, etc., on behalf of their statist buddies in "government," and get away with it. Now, if you want to see the fear-mongering government propaganda distilled down to it's basic essence, check out this hilarious clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK-QR88yfOE Sincerely, Larken Rose http://www.tyrantbook.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Note: This signature can be verified at https://www.hushtools.com/verify Charset: UTF8 Version: Hush 2.5 wpwEAQECAAYFAkcZ++UACgkQGmVFo/iGj333QQQApdj8pJYqaDYlffgfhPaVRtEHHNjQ 3Xth6Bsy6Z3pi9BImaH0XvbCoh7Z/vQWvHPjakwvLMSY0QxYzL5VxXl8cAHUgHO7qxWx FDx3GJhm1Red2tiI4Ko82+sZBump/n2klj06cnGklpq+Fv5saWY+B8rd6SkzVxVe/Ofg xJqisPw= =HRwG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, send a blank message to tmds-on@mail-list.com To contact the list owner, send your message to tmds-list-owner@mail-list.com
