A Difficult Leap of Comprehension

Quote: “The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.”—Edward Bernays, Our current paralysis in the face of our growing revelations that we are not in charge May have had its beginnings with this relatively unknown fellow. He is probably unknown because it was expedient to keep his work out of our vision. I expect this was done by discrediting Freud and this minimalized the work Bernay did since Freud's work was his foundation.  In this video, around the 5 minute mark you'll see the beginning of dependence on American corporations for our sense of well-being.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0OrT-8gXMs  Teabaggerz should be proud of me. These shifts in consciousness of the American masses may have marked the beginning of the end of the Constitution's "government by the people and for the people."  The logic is tenuous to grasp. It seems to dissipate as it forms. I imagine that it is because of conditioning.
