surely, this was discussed but this one could add some interesting points/reference

That is a rather long article painted with a broad brush, such as:



Hence, human societies everywhere are essentially populated with adults who are easily scared into uncritically obeying Elite directives...


That's not anywhere close to true is it?

Just saying it should be more specific. It is not really a 5,000 year war of The Elites. It is almost entirely about the modern western ruling class. It does express this inside the article.

The difficulty is that blankets everything in history like it just said all modern people are submissives.

There are numerous social contracts showing that the role of government is to actually secure peace and prosperity, and that if the "powers" are not effective at that, "powers" can be removed. Often, this is by violent means, rather than non-violence which may be the intent of the author:


Robert J. Burrowes has a lifetime commitment to understanding and ending human violence.


But you are already pitted against something which had no compassion for hundreds of millions of lives already crushed. Why the kid gloves?

There is a fair amount of good information here for someone who might not be familiar with the likes of Tavistock.


There definitely are however times when mass marketing controlled a population overnight. First was the Boer War. This was a capitalists' racist war in some foreign country which the public opposed, and then they were "told" to do it in all these subliminal ways and they did.

Then peacetime for the folks at home was changed in the 1920s by Bernays and Bacon (https://gobraithwaite.com/thinking/edward-bernays-and-why-we-eat-bacon-for-breakfast/):


Believe it or not, people had to be convinced to eat bacon for breakfast.

At the turn of the 20th century, a light breakfast was the norm in America. Most people had coffee and a roll, maybe some cereal.


Those are like switches. You went from "off" to "on" in terms of programming, and then the bulk of what is in that long article are technological upgrades in the time since then.

It's going to work if it blots out the historical trend that Debt Jubilee was the normal way for a king or government to justify his reign by healing the population, moreover, if you don't do it after about sixty years, revolution or collapse is inevitable.

That ended somewhere in the Roman Empire.

So yes the article is pretty good on modern techniques but it is not really dealing with thousands of years.
