On the Ghost in the Machine
Every inch of pivot we witness while Delta quietly tears a whole through the fabric of alternate reality may be posed as another evidentiary exhibit to support that these vaccinated, minority rule pushing m0therf$&kers have knowingly engaged in the fabrication of a reality for manipulating their base while secretly inhabiting the very fringes of what we know to be our reality. Foresight dictates such a pivot must be attempted.
The Upside Down Art
A post for collecting all the Upside Up / Upside Down themed art.
Added the collaged images individually and started with the citing and descriptions. Still working out how to get image captions in and out of Ulysses with the least amount of work possible.
MOONDEERS NOTES on Bernays' PROPAGANDA
There is no means of human communication which may not also be a means of deliberate propaganda, because propaganda is simply the establishing of reciprocal understanding between an individual and a group.
Chapter XI: The Mechanics of Propaganda
MOONDEERS NOTES on Bernays' PROPAGANDA
In art as in politics the minority rules, but it can rule only by going out to meet the public on its own ground, by understanding the anatomy of public opinion and utilizing it.
Chapter X: Art and Science
MOONDEERS NOTES on Bernays' PROPAGANDA
The great enemy of any attempt to change men's habits is inertia. Civilization is limited by inertia. Comstock drops his mantle of proselytizing morality on the willing shoulders of a Sumner; Carnegie his on Schwab, and so ad infinitum. Opposing this traditional acceptance of existing ideas is an active public opinion that has been directed consciously into movements against inertia.

MOONDEERS NOTES on Bernays' PROPAGANDA
Businesses realize that its relationship to the public is not confined to the manufacture and sale of a given product, but includes at the same time the selling of itself and of all those things for which it stands in the public mind.

Chapter IV: The Psychology of Public Relations
Chapter III: The New Propagandists
MOONDEERS NOTES on Bernays' PROPAGANDA
The group has mental characteristics distinct from those of the individual, and is motivated by impulses and emotions which cannot be explained on the basis of what we know of individual psychology. In certain cases we can effect some change in public opinion with a fair degree of accuracy by operating a certain mechanism, just as the motorist can regulate the speed of his car by manipulating the flow of gasoline.
MOONDEERS NOTES on Bernays' PROPAGANDA
Who are the men, who, without our realizing it, give us our ideas, tell us whom to admire and whom to despise? If we set out to make a list of the men and women who, because of their position in public life, might fairly be called the molders of public opinion, we could quickly arrive at an extended list of persons mentioned in "Who's Who."
Such a list would comprise several thousand persons. But it is well known that many of these leaders are themselves led, sometimes by persons whose names are known to few.
MOONDEERS NOTES on Bernays' PROPAGANDA
