Bernays and the Military-Industrial Playpen of Propaganda

"It is not inconceivable that our presidential candidates' names are
chosen by half a dozen men in a smokey hotel room somewhere in Washington"
Ok. I buy that.
"A person or platform is sold, or not sold, based
on the intangible element of personality"
Alright.

The secret war we wage and is waged against us

by half a dozen men smokily

in a Washington hotel-room.

Author notes

In this piece I quote the nephew of Sigmund Freud, Edward Bernays and his work "Propaganda" (1928)
