               Oftentimes  the  chief  actors  in  Satan’s  plans  resort  to  boasting  about  their  plans  and
               methods. They do not fear the outrage of the masses, nor the consequences of Christian’s
               discovering their methods, for they know that the world and a worldly church is sound
               asleep. The prophet Isaiah recorded God’s perspective of His people.


               Isaiah 42:18-20
               Hear, you deaf! And look, you blind, that you may see. Who is blind but My servant, or so
               deaf as My messenger whom I send? Who is so blind as he that is at peace with Me, or so
               blind as the servant of Yahweh? You have seen many things, but you do not observe them;
               Your ears are open, but none hears.

               Satan has been so successful in mesmerizing the masses, in distracting the church with
               many vain pursuits, that he has little fear of the body of Christ waking up to discover the
               ways in which they have been controlled and manipulated. Satan is a master of deceit, and
               he has taught his disciples the principles by which they can control the mass of men and
               women.

               One  of  the  pioneers  of  modern  propaganda  in  western  culture  was  Edward  Bernays.
               Bernays  was  greatly  impressed  by  the  teaching  of  his  uncle  Sigmund  Freud  and  was
               responsible  for  having  Freud’s  writings  published  in  America.  Bernays  saw  in  the
               subconscious psyche of mankind an opportunity to persuade, influence, and ultimately
               control the masses without their being aware of what was being done to them. Edward
               Bernays did not seek to hide this power over the people. Rather, he boasted about it. He was
               actively engaged in seeking corporate clients who would hire him to manipulate public
               opinion. Therefore, he did quite a job in selling his scientific wizardry to those who wished
               to cause people to act and think in specific ways. Bernays wrote a number of books on the
               use of propaganda.

               If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, is it not possible to
               control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing about it?
               The recent practice of propaganda has proved that it is possible...

               The propagandist rules. The propagandized do whatever he would have them to do,
               exactly as he tells them to do, and without knowing it.

               Bernays as a young man was hired by the CPI, the government propaganda organization
               that was created by President Woodrow Wilson to persuade Americans to fully support the
               United State’s involvement in World War I. After the war he used the same principles
               during  peace  time  to  crystallize  public  opinion  for  corporate  clients.  Bernays  did  not
               describe his work as a propagandist, for the term had gained negative connotations during
               the War. Instead, he described himself as a “Public Relations” professional.

               Bernays made it clear that Public Relations is not the same as advertising. Bernays seldom
