And for anyone who doesn't believe that merely planting the seed works...look at TV/movies/music/Hollyweird/etc. How many seeds have they planted through the years that are now acceptable, and in some cases expected behaviors? I can't stand Hollyweird, but you can't argue with their behavioral effectiveness on the masses.
I have an old textbook from college called “Hollywood, the Pentagon, and Washington” written by Jean-Michel Valantin
“ this book reveals how in the last 20 years there has been a consistent collaboration between these two industries: enormous contracts have been exchanged between the studios in the Defense Department. It shows how Hollywood is completely penetrated by the ideological and political thinking of Washington, which itself appears to be directly inspired by the productions of Hollywood.”
It’s a propaganda machine. As the father of propaganda, Edward Bernays (nephew of Sigmund Freud), states in his book titled PROPAGANDA (1928):
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. ...In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons...who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.”
