Techniques to manipulate the masses
Thanks Iron Foil Beret for the translation.
This list is based on observed events and analyses published here and there on the internet. The objective is to to help people better understand techniques to manipulate the masses in France and elsewhere in the world, so that we can get out of the mind prison in which the global elites are trying to hold us. Dishonesty, duplicity and lies under every possible form. Any contribution to this text is welcome.
Haste effect
Sounds like a joke? Guess again. One of Karl Rove's techniques is to move faster than intellectuals can react.
Clean Slate effect
Rolling back social progress and traditions of social cohesion by taking advantage of all possible propaganda themes, such as by exploiting or provoking catastrophes -- financial (such as embezzlement of Social Security funds in France), natural, internal violence, wars, etc. Cutting funds for 'dangerous' social science studies Confounding public historical knowledge by hijacking anti-establishment movements (ie. Jaures, Guy Môquet's letter) The systematic worldwide use of the Clean Slate effect by the Neocons was largely described by Naomi Klein as the 'Shock Doctrine'. It allows ultra-capitalist and police state policies to be implemented, where the market, far from being free, is systematically controlled by laws pushed by lobbies.
Smoke Screen effect
Controlling the press and focussing on emotionally divisive issues in order to prevent serious topics from being discussed (such as the EU Treaty, the 'Code du Travail' (labour laws), constitutional reform, the erosion of civil liberties, the participation of France in current wars, the French nuclear weapons program, etc). Setting up a cult of personality by showing only the leader's obvious qualities and portray him as being 'in charge' of every situation. Stiring up the masses emotionally with its own unhapiness Distributing free newspapers for the masses to read, which creates a hive mind effect, enhances the Smoke Screen effect.
