Here's another (37 minute) documentary on Edward Bernays, Gustave Le Bon, etc. Mind-boggling stuff. https://youtube.com/watch?v=p8ERfxWouXs&t=85s https://youtube.com/watch?v=p8ERfxWouXs&t=85s

    This is really 'blue pill' stuff. It's like discovering product placement in movies. Once you see it, you can't unsee it again.

John Pilger's 2010 Documentary The War You Don't See (https://vimeo.com/67739294 https://vimeo.com/67739294) is also great; it references Bernays too. Would check this one.

"cannot be viewed from your current location" (California?) A (related?) four-part video series on this topic is called 'Century of the Self' and might be found out there somewhere

  I highly recommend this, I found it on YouTube easily last time. It seemed to be a recording of the TV screen but picture quality wasn't too important for the subject.

Just saw that, I was utterly shocked how many terms I thought were casual normal socially coined things (like PR) but were in fact introduced with malign interests. High level of cynicism
