“… a piece of very recent and very painful history is the propaganda used by Hitler, which was incredibly effective. I mean, what were Hitler's methods? Hitler used terror on the one kind, brute force on the one hand, but he also used a very efficient form of propaganda which …he was using every modern device at that time. He didn't have TV, but he had the radio which he used to the fullest extent and was able to impose his will on an immense mass of people. I mean, the Germans were a highly educated people.”
Indoctrination through relentless propaganda is so effective that it creates slaves who are happy to be indentured. For example, most Americans accept property tax increases because they believe it benefits schools and their children. But in some areas, property tax increases educate the children of newly arrived Muslim economic refugees and illegal aliens who have crossed the border illegally alone or in caravans organized and advised by non-profits funded by the United Nations, businesses and elites with an interest to gain new Democrat voters, supporters for the globalist agenda, and cheap labor.
Huxley mentioned Orwell’s “1984” book and said “That if you want to preserve your power indefinitely, you have to get the consent of the ruled, and this they will do partly by drugs as I foresaw in ‘Brave New World,’ partly by these new techniques of propaganda. They will do it by bypassing the sort of rational side of man and appealing to his subconscious and his deeper emotions, and his physiology even, and so making him actually love his slavery. I mean, I think, this is the danger that actually people may be, in some ways, happy under the new regime, but that they will be happy in situations where they oughtn't to be happy.”
Huxley continued, “… there are methods at present available, methods superior in some respects to Hitler's methods, which could be used in a bad situation. I mean, what I feel very strongly is that we mustn't be caught by surprise by our own advancing technology. This has happened again and again in history with technology's advance and this changes social condition, and suddenly people have found themselves in a situation which they didn't foresee and doing all sorts of things they really didn't want to do.” http://www.cuttingthroughthematrix.com/articles/Mike_Wallace_interviews_Aldous_Huxley_May_18_1958.html
It is now painfully evident what propaganda through any means, especially through technology and drugs, and indoctrination for the last forty years through education, Hollywood, and the mainstream media, have done to younger generations of Americans. They are now the pliant drones, happy to be slaves to the globalist ideology which includes the U.N. Agenda 21/2030.
I had met recently with Millennials who validated abundantly the indoctrination theory, hard-core liberals, some of whom fortunately have not yet voted in presidential elections. They get their information from other thoroughly indoctrinated friends who hear certain phrases and fabrications passed as reality. Repeated ad nauseam by the shrill leftist media and their low-information followers, the propaganda becomes truth.
The young Millennials told me that they never hesitated to join in the fray of any protest marching in their town, no matter how vile or pointless. The excitement of the melee of the loud and well-paid rent-a-mobs, called them to join in the tussle.
There was a time when young Americans in their late teens and early twenties were responsible adults, settled down in marriage and family with children. Today they are immature in late adulthood, whiny snowflakes, easily triggered, cowardly, intolerant of others who disagree with them, living in their parents’ basements without any shame or feelings of self-respect and responsibility.
I had asked before what is it that they reject so vehemently, and I got blank stares or quick replies that President Trump is hated profoundly for being a racist. I asked them what it was that President Trump did that offended them so, evidence of racism, or how he impacted their lives even before he was sworn in and the answer was, he is bad, repeating the canned narrative they’ve heard on cable channels or from their equally misguided and misinformed friends.
When they received a tax refund last year thanks to President Trump’s tax policy, I asked if they refunded the money since everything Trump did or does, in their view, works against them and the “man.” They laughed and kept the money.
There is no leftist cause, no matter how outrageous, that social justice Millennials will not volunteer to support. They cannot really explain what they mean by social justice, and if there was ever, at any point in time social justice in the world.
They have no idea how society operates, how the economy is run, what it means to be an American citizen, the duties and responsibilities to family and to our nation. They are shameless, compass-less individuals with no future who think that getting a degree in social justice or women's studies will allow them to work for a non-profit and help people. They are not sure how, when, where, which people, and how they are going to pay their own bills and live. They just know, they will help people.
Great article, Ileana. I talked about how our dystopian America is quickly becoming Huxley’s “Brave New World” a few weeks ago. When news media is 93 percent anti-Trump and no mention is made of two major trade agreements this week, you know we are in the throes of a major propaganda machine. This is the worst period of journalism in American history. A population happy to surrender all their liberties to a state which would just as soon see them dead is hard to believe. And yet the media is leading them to just that. It is crazy. From the time kids get in grade school they are taught to be good little activists. Activism requires you create a cause to support and anybody who doesn’t go along with your cause is the enemy. Virtually all the “isms”, Marxism, socialism, fascism, and communism require an enemy. They are all being groomed, even if they don’t know it, to live their entire lives with a constant dynamic of manipulation, hate, fear and enemies. That is so un-American. - Joe Keller
ReplyDelete59 years ago (July 26, 1961) my family's life changed completely.
ReplyDeleteMy mother, my brother and I left communist Cuba to live free in the United States.
We joined my dad in New Orleans, who had left in May of thesame Year.
I am thankful for the life we have been privileged to enjoy in a country where we can be Free to think, speak worship however we choose.
To grow up and live in a country that gives you the right to succeed in life with hard honest work and the freedom to vote for the candidate of your choice once we became citizens.
I am Cuban by birth and PROUD American by choice. I love all the many folks that helped our family and all the friends we’ve made over the last 59+ years.
My parents had the courage to walk away from everything they knew and
had, to bring us to America.
What they did, has inspired me throughout my life.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!
Our only Choice in November to keep our Country FREE.....USA, USA!
I know that I'm honoring the courage that my Dad and Mom took in 1961.
Love you both always....
Gloria Reimherr, a Cuban-American.....
