Who Owns Your Culture? (Classical Revolution #1)
http://schillerinstitute.org - Who owns your culture? You don't! You don't even own your own soul! You sold your soul cheap!
The Congress For Cultural Freedom -- a better name would be "the Sexual Congress for Cultural Fascism" -- shaped the culture after WWII. The counter-culture which was then promoted as an intelligence operation by powerful financial interests, has now become the culture.
When we take a look at today's culture, we notice that a lot of the things that Bertrand Russell wished for in a speech in Munich in 1953, actually came true:
"I think," Russell wrote, "the subject which will be of most importance politically is mass psychology. . . . Its importance has been enormously increased by the growth of modern methods of propaganda. Of these the most influential is what is called 'education.' Religion plays a part, though a diminishing one; the press, the cinema, and the radio play an increasing part. . . . "
Russell continued, "The subject will make great strides when it is taken up by scientists under a scientific dictatorship. . . . The social psychologists of the future will have a number of classes of school children on whom they will try different methods of producing an unshakable conviction that snow is black. Various results will soon be arrived at. First, that the influence of home is obstructive. Second, that not much can be done unless indoctrination begins before the age of ten. Third, that verses set to music and repeatedly intoned are very effective. Fourth, that the opinion that snow is white must be held to show a morbid taste for eccentricity. But I anticipate. It is for future scientists to make these maxims precise and discover exactly how much it costs per head to make children believe that snow is black, and how much less it would cost to make them believe it is dark gray."
