Der offene Disput ist die Grundvoraussetzung einer demokratischen Gesellschaft. Diese Voraussetzung ist in Deutschland wie in vielen anderen westlichen Staaten schon lange nicht mehr gegeben. Die Politik der etablierten Kräfte in Deutschland wird von einer marktradikalen und kriegsaffinen Allparteienkoalition gesteuert. Die Bewusstseinsindustrie reflektiert und verstärkt diese Ideologien. Dass Verfassungsstaat und Demokratie dabei unter die Räder kommen, nehmen die Ideologen billigend in Kauf.

On les appelle spin doctors, génies du faire croire, persuadeurs clandestins ou ingénieurs des âmes. Publicitaires, communicants, cinéastes ou propagandistes politiques, ces hommes ont en commun d’être passés maîtres dans l’art de la manipulation de masse.

More and more people are beginning to realize that we are being manipulated and lied to. We are denied access to secrets that shouldn’t be secrets. Our politicians obfuscate, deny, and outright lie. No one knows whom to trust. The nightly news is being replaced by carefully orchestrated propaganda. Our iPhones are monitored, as are our laptops and our landlines. As for social media, that too is ripe for spying by men in black suits. No wonder, then, that the last few years have seen an incredible rise in conspiracy theories about deceptions and cover-ups.

The Tudors are England's most notorious royal family. But, as Leanda de Lisle's gripping new history reveals, they are a family still more extraordinary than the one we thought we knew. The Tudor canon typically starts with the Battle of Bosworth in 1485 before speeding on to Henry VIII and the Reformation. But this leaves out the family's obscure Welsh origins and the ordinary man known as Owen Tudor who would fall (literally) into a queen's lap - and later her bed.

Walter Lippmann gilt als einer der einflussreichsten Propagandisten des Neoliberalismus und einer gelenkten Demokratie, der dem marktradikalen Denken zum Siegeszug verhalf. Lippmanns 1922 erschienenes Buch "Public Opinion" gilt als ein Klassiker in Sachen Manipulation und Beeinflussung der öffentlichen Meinung. Von ihm wurde der Begriff "Kalter Krieg" geprägt und in den allgemeinen Sprachgebrauch gebracht. Weil die Durchschnittsbürger in einer Demokratie damit überfordert sind, komplexe gesellschaftliche Zusammenhänge zu durchschauen, entwickelte er das Konzept einer gelenkten Demokratie.

La manipulación de masas es un fenómeno que el poder político ha utilizado a lo largo de la historia. Nuestros tiempos no iban a ser una excepción, y la televisión, unida al fenómeno de las redes sociales y las masas de acoso, han conformado un tridente mortífero contra la verdad. Mientras el ojo de la población estaba inmerso en la pandemia del Covid-19, hemos asistido al mayor espectáculo de manipulación de masas del último siglo en nuestro país, en el que se ha privado al ciudadano de una información que podría haber evitado el desastre.

Was wir heute als "fake news" und "Verschwörungstheorien" kennen, hat er als "Reichsminister für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda" in einer bis dahin unbekannten Weise als Mittel der Politik eingesetzt und perfektioniert.

Le projet MK-Ultra, dévoilé en 1975, est le nom de code d'un projet secret illégal de la CIA des années 1950 à 1970 visant à développer les techniques de manipulation mentale. Il semble que ce projet ait connu plusieurs évolutions et ait vu le développement de sous-projets et des projets parallèles. D'une manière générale, ce projet repose sur les mécanismes de dissociation psychologique des sujets, que celle-ci soit induite volontairement ou déjà présente. Il s'agit dans le projet MK-Ultra d'utiliser cette dissociation pour provoquer des comportements.
