On on today's show I will be covering the work of Walter Lippmann and Edward Bernays.nbsp; The material will probably be quite offensive to some people.nbsp; I don't have enough time to cover all the material so I will post the information in it's entirety here. To start off I'm playing the audio from the first two video clips in this playlist. In this video Noam Chomsky explains were he got the title for his book Manufacturing Consent.nbsp; It actually came from Walter Lippmann's book Public Opinion. The one thing Noam Chomsky failed to do in Manufacturing Consent (though he didn't make the film) was give a good explanation as to who Walter Lippmann actually was.nbsp; The Wikipedia article on Lippmann states: Walter Lippmann (September 23, 1889 - December 14, 1974) was an influential American award-winning writer, journalist, and political commentator. Lippmann was the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize in 1958 and 1962 for his syndicated newspaper column, "Today and Tomorrow." To get better information on who Walter Lippmann actually was and why everyone should read his book Public Opinion , I recommend yet another book Propaganda by Edward Bernays. nbsp; Propaganda was originally published in 1928.nbsp; The book was recently republished by a Canadian publishing company Ig. On the back of the book it explains who Edward Bernays was along with Walter Lippmann: The nephew of Sigmund Freud, Edward Bernays (1891 ndash; 1995) pioneered the scientific technique of shaping and manipulating public opinion, which he called ldquo;engineering of consent.rdquo; During World War I, he was an the integral partmdash;along with Walter Lippmanmdash;of the U.S. Committee on Public Information (CPI), a powerful propaganda machine that advertised and sold the war to the American people as one that would ldquo;Make the World Safe for Democracy.rdquo; The marketing strategies for all future wars would be based on the CPI model. I will jump ahead and read an excerpt from Propaganda which can be found here. With Walter Lippmann and Edward Bernays in mind I will play a few excerpts from a speech by Australian journalist John Pilger on Barack Obama and the antiwar movement.nbsp; This is quite relevant because John Pilger brings up both Edward Bernays and Walter Lippmann when describing the US political climate and Barack Obama. You may want to read up on John Pilger so you know his background and understand he's not some crackpot off the street. I want you to see how different the perception is from someone outside of the United States, and how drastically different this man from Australia frames his argument than the US media. Here Pilger explains Barack Obama is a phony who's getting thousands of people killed by expanding war and military funding in the Middle East. Pilger states Obama did an internship at a company called "Business International Corporation, which has a long history of providing cover for the CIA with covert action and infiltrating unions on the left."nbsp; John Pilger states he is aware of this because they were especially active in his own country Australia. I'm sure everyone will be quite shocked when they see the video because Pilger is speaking to Socialist Workers of America (July 4th 2009).nbsp; It appears this is the information that's being disseminated among socialists.nbsp; Isn't this far worse than claiming Barack Obama wasn't born in the United States?nbsp; Also you probably can't terrorize socialists by telling them someone is a socialist. In the above video John Pilger states Barack Obama has authorized $46 million ($46,000,000.00) for a military base in Colombia. The BBC recently reported Obama is sending troops to seven military bases in Colombia: Left-wing South American leaders have condemned US plans to increase its military presence in Colombia at an emergency summit in Argentina.
