The book is a compilation of thought of various journalistic schools
in the US. Considering Propaganda and American Politics. It begins
by showing things about us being persuaded to leave a " Need's " based
society, and being led by consumer propaganda into a " Desire's based
culture. Then lets you see how various political groups have
taken the psychological and media tools of today, and are bending
our nation their direction, rather than a rational and intellectual, or
practical dimension.
A quote by one of our Founding Father's George Washington
struck a cord in my heart.
" If men are to be precluded from offering their sentiments on a matter
which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences that can
invite the consideration of mankind ", wrote the first president , " reason
is of no use for us ; the freedom of speech may be taken away , and dumb
and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter. "
National ignorance and social action done in compliance without reason
and insight. Without circumspectly looking through the hourglass
of time and space. Is a dangerous preoccupation that could lead
us toward a disastrous conclusion and loss of freedoms and proper
societal growth and evolution.
Take a look at this book if you will. I think it is salient and thought
provoking
God Bless you and yours.
