Edward Bernays

Edward Louis Bernays (November 22, 1891 – March 9, 1995) was an Austrian-born American pioneer in public relations, widely recognized as the father of the profession for developing systematic methods to shape public opinion through psychological manipulation. As the nephew of Sigmund Freud, Bernays drew on psychoanalytic principles to influence unconscious desires, applying them in propaganda efforts during World War I for the U.S. Committee on Public Information and later in commercial campaigns for corporations.

The True Nature Of Scandinavian "Socialism"

Geopolitics.
The Scandinavian model is often misrepresented as a humane and efficient form of socialism. In reality, it is a distinctly coercive and oligarchic form of statism. While the system preserves the formal legality of civilized concepts like human rights, justice, and private property, in practice, it operates on a Marxist-fascist foundation: it systematically violates the individual through taxation, regulation, and bureaucratic entrapment—leaving only a small, politically-connected class permitted to engage in a narrow, state-sanctioned form of commerce.

Gabbard Drops Fauci COVID-19 Receipts On Last Day: He Funded The Research, Cooked The Cover Story, Then Lied To Congress
There is just one problem. It wasn't only Fauci. And he's retired, anyway. During COVID, there was not a single voice of dissent - every newspaper, every search engine, every talking head - said the same thing. It wasn't just Fauci. So I think blaming Fauci now, when he is retired, is just another distraction.

Record 1 In 16 People Worldwide Now Use Drugs, UN Report Says
Um... first, leave weed alone. Keep it illegal-ish and leave it alone. Second, the pharma industry is bigger than the war industry, and the war industry is biiiiig. You don't get an industry without a product.

And also, maybe it's me, but modern drugs are pretty darn sophisticated. They can make you not feel pain, at all (anesthesia). They can modulate your mood (with side effects, but still). They can modulate your metabolism (steroids). They are working hard on genetic rewriting in more than one species (immortality, anyone?). As evil as big pharma might be, you gotta admit that modern pharma industry is a technological marvel.
