During World War I, Edward L. Bernays had worked with the Committee on Public Information to “sell” the war to the public. In 1928, he published his book Propaganda, in which we can read this statement on the subject:
"Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute
an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our
country."
The systematic psychological manipulation of society, begun with the evils of the Great War, has continued non-stop, and it has escalated to the point that we are now subject to full spectrum, continuous psychological operations.
Eighty-one years after the publication of Bernays’ book, Chris Hedges wrote the following:
"A public that can no longer distinguish between truth and fiction is
left to interpret reality through illusion. Random facts or obscure
bits of data and trivia are used either to bolster illusion and give
it credibility, or discarded if they interfere with the message . . .
When opinions cannot be distinguished from facts, when there
is no universal standard to determine truth in law, in science,
in scholarship, or in reporting the events of the day, when the
most valued skill is the ability to entertain, the world becomes
a place where lies become true, where people can believe what
they want to believe. This is the real danger of pseudo-events and
pseudo-events are far more pernicious than stereotypes. They
do not explain reality, as stereotypes attempt to, but replace
reality. Pseudo-events redefine reality by the parameters set
by their creators. These creators, who make massive profits
selling illusions, have a vested interest in maintaining the power
structures they control."

"According to a survey by JL Partners, roughly 765,000 New Yorkers—say they’re preparing to leave because of Mamdani’s election. Another 25%, or around 2.1 million, are considering it. Among high earners—those making over $250,000 a year—7% say they’re definitely fleeing.
"Why wouldn’t they? Mamdani has made it clear he views them as piggy banks. His entire platform is built on extracting their wealth and redistributing it. When you explicitly declare war on a segment of your population, that segment leaves.
"And those are the people funding everything. They’re the tax base. When they leave, revenue collapses—making it difficult, if not impossible, to fund the bloated social(ist) programs Mamdani promised. Then what? More taxes on whoever’s left. Which drives out more people. Which shrinks revenue even further.
"It’s a doom loop—and, again, entirely predictable.
"The end result is that New York’s going to end up looking a lot like the ...
No.
He let the robots cheat...driving Mamdani’s fake social media engagement sky high, which the media turned into fake news that Mamdani was popular, liked, and a genius of a political leader driving a vast grassroots explosion of excitement for a true change agent.
Bot farms out of Pakistan and India flooded X with random promotion of Mamdani coming from fake accounts...suddenly ballooning into the tens and hundreds of thousands. This is not organic engagement by real New Yorkers, but manufactured hype driven by enemy foreign code-writers rigging a US election.
The New York Post is tracking the evidence:
According to analytics compiled from Mamdani’s social media accounts, reviewed by The Post, between June 1 and July 1, Mamdani’s Instagram followers jumped from 213,000 to nearly 3 million — a 1,295% surge — while TikTok grew more than 1,000%.
Was there cheating at the voting booth? It would have been unnecessary. Real immigrants came out to vote for the ...
"All men of military genius are fond of centralization, which increases their strength; and all men of centralizing genius are fond of war, which compels nations to combine all their powers in the hands of the government. Thus the democratic tendency that leads men unceasingly to multiply the privileges of the state and to circumscribe the rights of private persons is much more rapid and constant among those democratic nations that are exposed by their position to great and frequent wars than among all others."
Alexis de Tocqueville
