We have spoken of politics at a worldwide level, of religion in its origins, of music, of philosophy, of literature, of cinema and television as mediums to modify people’s minds. By the way, how can something be made acceptable? First, it is placed as a secondary element or nearly hidden. Then it is made constantly visible until it gets unnoticed. It is a process that requires decades, but always reaches its goal. I’ll not give you more examples since I think that the material listed in this book is quite enough as a starting place for further deepenings. If some esoteric elements are sometimes shown clearly and brazenly, other times are portrayed at a level nearly subliminal. A process of brainwashing that runs parallel with a process aimed to demolish the power of the people as it has been put in black and white in the Crisis of Democracy, a study of the Trilateral Commission, where it highlights the problems of governability which come from an excess of democracy. We can see the actors get substituted at their deaths, they are always replaced to complete the project but the director is always the same.
