Very good documentary series

i have stumbled across a TV series done a few years ago, it is by the same guy who did 'the power of nightmares' (a must see documentary too).
It is called 'the century of the self' it details the public manipulation by the likes of Edward Bernays, Anna Freud, S. Freud and others, its sort of like an introduction to the theories and excuses for manipulating the public through scientific means as well as the methods used and the people behind it along with many great examples o this brainwashing in action.
When watching this documentary however it is always important to remember this IS still part of the media machine, the best propaganda and programming is programming that appears to be 'on your side' or which appears to be analysing and attacking mind control.
There is a general theme in the documentary of mild apologism and excuses for why this evil mind control is being used on the public, its also important to remember that democracy is as much a system of control as all the other governmental systems in the world, the only way to be free is for us all to be free of external control and spying, for us all to be left to do as we wish as long as we harm no one else and for each individual to be able to chose at all times whether they want in or out of any societies or systems that are created, and if we do give anyone the power to regulate or control anything we must always keep complete transparency of who ever's doing this, we must vet them for psychopathic and sadistic traits and we must not allow secret societies to exist within the organisations we allow to have any power over us and we must keep the power to strip hem of their power if they become corrupt.

i would recommend this documentary for anyone new to the field of psychiatry, or if you want to brush up on specific people involved, if you wish to slowly wake someone up and show them the control around them, I've found people will listen to the television more than they will their own family members and loved ones even if the television has less evidence and factual material for its claims than you do, it's an alarming thing but if we're to wake people up we need to show the information to them in a way they will pay attention to, its rare to find anyone who will listen to what you have to say for more than a few minutes or who will read a factual book to understand the world, they will do if they have enough drive to learn from you, in fact they should be pestering you for information and what to read if they're woken up and dedicated to learning but at the start to introduce someone to these concepts for most people the TV is the only thing they will listen to.
i would recommend teaching those who wish to learn, don't try to soon feed people knowledge, if they ask you for it and if they promise to accept things even if it threatens their life long held beliefs that give them security then by all means try to pass on all that you can, I'm just saying don't try to force someone to learn the truth and also that people will show you if they truly wish to learn by their readiness to do whatever it takes to learn and whether or not they ask you the right questions and whether they show enthusiasm to be taught, you shouldn't have to keep slogging away to try and get someone to listen to what you're teaching, if you do then they really don't wish to be taught, their actions will tell you before they do.
