One Idea To Rule Them All: Reverse Engineering American Propaganda

by Michelle Stiles

What if there are identifiable shortcuts your brain utilizes to create settled beliefs in small local communities, and what if those shortcuts could be “hacked” in a technological society to influence you in ways you can’t easily perceive?

While many are prone to think of propaganda as lies or distortions, there are techniques crafted and refined since the early 1900’s that make that simplistic notion laughable.

Your ignorance of these techniques and the Idea Bullies use them give them vast power over your future, your finances and your children.

Idea bullying is one group’s ability to win consistently in the marketplace of ideas. With enough money, well-connected friends and the techniques just mentioned no other ideas can compete.

Democracy becomes calcified in orthodoxy --one idea to rule them all. Historically this has been called manufacturing of consent, crystallizing public opinion, public relations, and just plain old “propaganda.”

Learn how the roots of stagecraft and story narrative have displaced an objective search for truth and why this abuse of language is always the first sign of tyranny.

Another must read.

There have been a strong fist full of books over the past several years that I describe as essential must reads for those fully aware and those still grasping for the fresh air of truth and understanding. It is critical to know, mentally and viscerally, that not only America and Western civilization are under assault by pure evil, but all of humanity. To know how this evil is accomplishing the goal of our enslavement, if not total destruction, to understand the methods and tools, now fine tuned for over a century of refinement and powerfully enhanced by technological systems of mass mind control, is absolutely essential if we are to survive. This book must be read and passed on to others.

EVERYONE should read this book!

This is an amazing book. If you feel the disquiet of “something” being wrong and you can’t explain how you are seeing what is happening in our country, happening, this book will explain it. If you see the world going crazy, believing in a false reality of the emperor’s new clothes, this book explains it. If you are dismayed by the tyranny that is happening right before your eyes, you need to read this book. Not only will it explain how propaganda is convincing the unthinking crowd that “they” have our best interests at heart, but it will show exactly how “they” are doing so, and it will show you, that, in knowing the TRUTH, we can all begin to fight back against the lies. Maybe, just maybe, we can wake up others before it is too late and there is no one left who knows what “truth” even means anymore. I cannot recommend this book enough. A quick and absorbing read!

Superb

Pulls together the techniques and history of manufacturing a false reality, for the benefit of the wealthy and powerful.

I’ve seen pieces of this before, but didn’t appreciate the scope, or how it is all grounded in our (misplaced) trust.

a well written book, about propaganda and ways in which it is used to influence on public opinion. worth archiving.
