He studied crowd-psychology and how to manipulate the minds of the masses. After he discovered that Joseph Goebbels was using his work in Nazi Germany, he re-branded "propaganda," later renaming it: "Public Relations." Certainly everyone is familiar with that term.Here are some of Bernays' own explanations of propaganda and how it works:"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... Our invisible governors are, in many cases, unaware of the identity of their fellow members in the inner cabinet...They govern us by their qualities of natural leadership, their ability to supply needed ideas and by their key position in the social structure. Whatever attitude one chooses t... less

Guess he isn't really that smart or he could have anticipated this. The Donald is loyal to himself and his family. Bannon is out of style/favor. He's gotta go. I wonder what it will take for him to read the handwriting on the wall? Will he hafta be DRAGGED OUT just like the UAL passenger, screaming and getting injured in the process? Or does Bannon think he is more powerful than The Donald? Is he? less
It is said that "beauty is its own excuse for being". Is that true of talent too? Do you ignore/forgive the very talented for being despicable if that particular shoe fits? Why ?

Maybe I could have gotten a CPA degree had I known how great an affinity I had for numbers. I became an Internal Auditor eventually but maybe I could have been a CPA. Also maybe if I had worked very hard and had "the right stuff" I might have become a physicist. I'm thinking the odds of that are remote. I don't think I'm smart enough but that whole area of science fascinates me and maybe if I had been exposed to it early enough I might have taken a different path in life. Anything like that in YOUR life? less
