A nerdy article I didn’t finish

I didn’t read the whole article…in fact…as soon as I saw that fellow being defended had already been a Presidential advisor and had published 6 books at a young age, I realized that my enthusiasm for the critique of one being critiqued was almost for sure too good to be true, as a small voice in my head had said it might turn out to be. I read slightly further to find out that the critique of Chomsky was also heralded by an announcement that the fellow being advocated for in his stead, was part of the technocratic elite. Meanwhile, I accidentally found out the The Pritzker family member who shares the first name of Santa Clause is a member The Edge, an organization that was sponsored by Epstein until his untimely death awaiting trial. Another member of that family is on the Epstein flight list. Chomsky is also connected to Epstein, having used Epstein to move his money, as well as discussing scholarly topics and having dinner with him alongside known Pedophile Woody Allen and his step-daughter soon to be wife, as well as another meeting that was with the President of The University that starts with H and isn’t Howard. Elon was also subpoenaed in the lawsuit related to the screen shot below, but he couldn’t be found and the lawsuit was settled before action could be taken to subpoena his company in his stead, which the court had deemed viable. The article below explores the links between the intellectuals Epstein solicited advice from and both Silicon Valley policy related to AI, Eugenics and War. Really light topics. But considering current global affairs, it’s good to have a look, open our hearts and use discerning minds, whatever comes.

Semantic Tyranny: How Edward L. Bernays Stole Walter

Lippmann’s Mojo and Got Away With It and Why It Still Matters

SUE CURRY JANSEN

The history of public relations has recently attracted the interest of critical mediascholars. Edward L. Bernays, the author of several pioneering PR books, has profoundlyinfluenced how critical scholars have conceived of public relations. Bernays deceptively claimed that Walter Lippmann provided the theory and that he provided the practice, creating the false impression that Lippmann was an apologist for PR. Lippmann actually denounced government and corporate publicity agents as propagandists and censors.Yet critical PR scholarship has uncritically accepted and amplified Bernays’misrepresentation. This article seeks to correct this error by comparing the key texts:Lippmann’s Public Opinion (1922) and Bernays’ Crystallizing Public Opinion (1923).For the most part, the way we see things is a combination of what is there and of whatwe expected to find. The heavens are not the same to an astronomer as to a pair of lovers; a page of Kant will start a different train of thought in a Kantian and in a radical empiricist.

—Walter Lippmann, Public Opinion (1922, p. 76)

Pages of Walter Lippmann’s Public Opinion, filtered through the resourceful imagination of Edward L. Bernays (1891–1995), set off a mischievous train of thought that has profoundly affected howLippmann’s work is perceived and interpreted today. What Bernays represents as a friendly reading ofPublic Opinion in his own quickly crafted sequel to Lippmann’s book, Crystallizing Public Opinion (1923), isactually a calculated reversal of Lippmann’s argument. Lippmann (1889–1974) was a vehement critic ofpropaganda who condemned the “manufacture of consent” by public relations when that field was still in its infancy.
