“The Book”
A helpful thing to understand about EDWARD BERNAYS, the father of modern PROPAGANDA (aka: "Public Relations"), is that his dad's sister was married to his mom's brother, who was SIGMUND FREUD.

How does the word PROPAGANDA make you feel?
If you're like most, it has a negative and dark connotation.

Simple phrases, endlessly repeated to the masses, become obstacles to rational thought.
