Page 61 - Lunacy and the Age of Deception

The United States brought many of the most skilled NAZI party members to America after the war.
The space program was heavily populated with their numbers, for no other nation was as advanced
as the Germans in rocketry. They had used their V-1 and V-2 rockets to terrible effect against
England during the war. Not coincidentally, the pageantry of 1930s Germany was also brought to
America, and it was used to create in the American populace a patriotic fervor and immense national
pride regarding the nation’s space program. People are readily manipulated emotionally by appeals
to patriotism and pride of nation, rendering them disinclined to question government propaganda.

Note the inclusion of the eagle, and the various U.S. flag motifs in the NASA publicity photo. Such
visual queues stirred a sense of American patriotism without the viewer being aware they were being
manipulated. To question the space program would immediately be met with great emotional
resistance from those stirred with patriotic fervor. This is a large part of the reason that no serious
challenges were made publicly. To do so would be considered by many to be “un-American.”

With the advent of the television and its powerful ability to shape public opinion and stir emotion,
the American people had arrayed against them a force of mental manipulation never wielded before.
