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
