Where Fox News Got It's Start---Brasscheck TV
How hard do you think it will be to wake everybody up??? I thought I'd share this e-mail from Brasscheck TV with everybody:


The Nazis were ruthless and power mad.

The Nazis had a war machine loaded with
high tech weapons.

The Nazis had a highly effective internal propaganda
system.

No one talks about this last item because they imported
it directly from the United States.

===============================

Brasscheck TV: The war for your mind

Here's a little history that few are aware of...
but if you know it, it explains much about
how we got to where we are today.

When the Rockefeller group was under
widespread popular attack in the early part
of the 20th century, they hired a man named
Ivy Lee to help them rehabilitate their public
image. He was very successful at his task.

The Rockefellers loaned Lee to the Nazis
to help them with their 1930s PR problems
in the US. While, it may be hard to believe
now, US press accounts of Hitler's rise to
power in Germany were mostly positive.

Edward Bernays, a close colleague of Lee's,
was another master of public manipulation.

One of Bernays' biggest fans was none other
than Joseph Goebbels, the director of
internal propaganda for the Nazi government.

Goebbels was the man who "sold" the Germans
on the Nazis (much the way Roger Ailes has
sold the US on Bush-style (i.e. criminal)
Republicanism.

I recommend you read more, but if you want
to go straight to the video, it's here:

*** You can't have a dictatorship with controlling
the news media, overly or covertly

It's important to know that even as
Berlin was literally going up in
flames, the Nazis retained the support of
large portions of Germany society as
a result of Goebbels' "genius."

This feat, as one book title describes it,
was "the war that Hitler won."

Edward Bernays bragged that his book
"The Crystalization of Public Opinion"
was prominently displayed in Goebbels
private office.

You may have heard of "Kristallnacht"
a multi-day orgy of street terror against
Jews in Germany that "crystalized"
public opinion that it had become socially
acceptable to target Jews in the streets,
in their stores and even in their homes.

Most historians state that the
"kristall" in "kristallnacht" refers
to the broken windows of Jewish owned
stores.

There is one problem with this universally
accepted version of events.

"Kristall" does not mean "glass" or
"store window" in German. It means
crystal.

What crystals were broken during "kristallnacht?"

Answer: None to speak of.

It is my contention that in fact
"Kristallnacht," one of the notorious
acts of state terrorism in modern history,
was coined by Goebbels for the strategy
of "crystalizing" public opinion he learned from
his American mentor's book by the same name.

Meet Edward Bernays, US PR man,
tutor to the Nazi propaganda machine,
and inspiration to Roger Ailes, creator
of Fox News, America's modern day version
of Joseph Goebbels:

stuff on TV or even at a fancy university.

That's how we grow.

Thanks.

1. We watched 'Gallipoli' last night, by Rupert Murdoch, starring a baby Mel Gibson
Forget if Murdoch co-produced or co- directed. But it's illuminating.

3. Cool! Kailua beach has had really nice waves recently,
and since they replaced the sewer line on Kalaheo, the water is really clean.

Your Hawaiian is way better than mine!
