Behind the curtain: What the Status Quo pray you never learn

So we gotta appeal to the masses emotions that appealing to emotions is inferior to appealing to fact/intelligence.


I got the first part watched, gotta finish the other 3 parts. I kinda got angered watching it. I also laughed when I saw the Nazi propagandist praising FDR.

Could the grassroots afford to finance a good PR team, in the same way as the blimp people continued the blimp? I mean, it sounds like an extremely expensive ongoing project. How much does a good PR team cost? How would the grassroots select a suitable PR firm? Would it even work; there would have to be some cooperation from the official campaign, I should think…

No. We human beings always make decisions based on emotions but some of the time our values and beliefs force us to make decisions that are inline with reason. Pay attention: The decisions are still based on emotions but also inline with reason, not made based on reason. Got it? So you can't appeal to anyone to make a decision inline with reason unless their values and beliefs are such that doing so for them will mean avoiding pain and seeking pleasure. What you have to do instead is find out how they feel about things, what are their values and beliefs and you have to package your message to suit them.

I strongly believe that once the grassroots realizes -what- needs to be done the -how- is not going to be a problem. But we all have to realize the -what- because it has to be our primary focus and it has to be our collective effort.

I first watched this documentary in 2006. I could relate to the ideas, although I quit paying attention to the MSM decades ago. Now seeing so many youtube clips I always see the propaganda. No one in their right mind would use half the products in today's market if not for the advertising. It's incredible to me that so few people even try to think for themselves, and I am not happy about the fact that the vast majority of the people I'm forced to live among are brainwashed idiots. The fact remains that these very idiots are the ones who will have to be "sold" on voting for Ron Paul. It might take another 4 years of O-bomb-us before enough of them wake up, unless we wise up fast. Hazek is right.

I just watched all 4 hours of the documentary (thanks, OP!).

As a pro-RP progressive, I'm not sure the only way to fight propaganda is with propaganda. In the least, "we" should be very careful with PR and make extra certain that all PR used is totally true and ethical.

When I speak about using PR what I have in mind is first figuring out how GOP voters feel about government and what are some of their beliefs and values and then cater the freedom massage in such a way that it matches those beliefs.

I'll give an example:
Say some voter is very frustrated with his house being foreclosed on. Well if he listens to Ron talk he wont hear anything that he'll likely think is good for his situation. But if Ron were to speak to him directly and specifically about that issue I bet he could get him on board if he first explained how that person got into their mess and how sounds money could help him, same goes for an unemployed person.

PR is not a bout spewing lies to get people on board it's about packaging the message in such a way that people with their current beliefs and values can get behind it.

People really need to spend the time and watch this.

Watch the damn movies!

I just watched the first hour of the documentary and I can't wait to watch the rest.

 

[driller80545]

Don't worry. Rumor has it that there is a top Hollywood Producer and a Billionaire who are collaborating on a secret campaign blitz for Ron Paul.

Ha, yes, still waiting on those two!

Just remember what is shown in these documentaries is only the symptom and not the real cause for the behavior of us human beings.
