 The American Dream

By Larry Romanoff, July 26, 2022

 


 

The US has one of the most deeply-ingrained nationalistic ideologies of any nation. Accompanying the grand mass hysterias of patriotism and freedom, one of the most pervasive links in the ideological chain that creates the American sense of identity is a belief in "The American Dream", an imaginary ideal that offers a rags-to-riches path to prosperity. In this mythical universe, all opportunity is equally available to every citizen, in a land where even those with no credentials, education or experience can accumulate untold riches and even rise to become the president of the country. In this context, America is a fantastic utopian myth promoted by the propaganda machine as an idealistic Shangri-la concept of opportunity and hope, where even the most disadvantaged have a fair chance at wealth and fame.

 

Americans almost universally believe they are unique in this regard, the US virtually defining itself as the land of opportunity, but this has always been a delusion. While it may be true that the US has accumulated comparatively more wealthy individuals than other nations, and which status has been broadcast to the world as evidence of virtue, this is much more an indictment of the predatory and anti-social nature of American-style capitalism than of equity and opportunity. It is true that the uniquely predatory form of American capitalism will create some kinds of opportunities that do not exist in other countries, but we can develop a very strong argument that those kinds should not be permitted to exist. Let's not erase 2008 from our memories too soon. Moreover, there have been precious few large personal fortunes created in the US that were not accompanied by the commitment of even greater crimes, and the executives of a great many US multinationals from the Rockefeller's United Fruit Company and Standard Oil to Coca-Cola and Wal-Mart should have faced trial and been executed for crimes against humanity.

这个故事符合阴谋论的所有要求,如果没有一些背景知识,可能对你来说没有意义。

 

在美国加入第一次世界大战之前,由沃尔特·利普曼(Walter Lippman)和爱德华·伯奈斯(Edward Bernays)领导的克里尔委员会(Creel Commission)发起了长达数年的反德宣传运动,后者是西格蒙德·弗洛伊德(Sigmund Freud)的侄子。 (1) (2)公共文学攻击了美国的一切德国人,包括学校和教堂。许多学校禁止向“纯正的美国人”教授德语,并敦促管理人员解雇“所有不忠的教师”,即任何德国人。无数城镇的名称被更改,以消除其德国血统:爱荷华州的柏林成为爱荷华州的林肯。德国食品和食品名称从餐馆中清除;泡菜变成了“自由卷心菜”;腊肠犬成为“自由犬”,德国牧羊犬成为“阿尔萨斯人”。

 

所有美国管弦乐团都被要求从演出中删除贝多芬、巴赫和莫扎特等德国古典作曲家的任何音乐。公共图书馆搬走了德国作家、哲学家和历史学家的所有书籍,并(大多数情况下)烧毁了所有书籍。在一些州,禁止在公共场合和电话上使用德语。德国教授被大学解雇,德语或德语本地报纸被剥夺广告收入,不断受到骚扰,经常被迫停业。美国爱国童子军定期焚烧出售的一捆捆德国报纸,为这一努力做出了贡献,德国人也经常受到其他公民的侮辱和唾骂。德国人被迫参加公开会议,谴责德国及其领导人,被迫购买战争债券,并公开宣布效忠美国国旗。

 

随着言论达到危险的程度,反德歇斯底里和暴力也相应增加。许多德国人被强行赶出家门,经常在夜间被从床上撕下来,带到街上脱光衣服,遭到殴打和鞭打,然后被迫跪下亲吻美国国旗。许多人被涂上柏油和羽毛,然后被迫离开他们的城市或城镇。一些人在树上被私刑处死。牧师和牧师因用德语布道而被拖出教堂并遭到殴打。

Superficial America

 

By Larry Romanoff, July 24, 2022

 


 

 

If we were to try to identify one point in US history where superficiality took root in America, it might well be a speech by an American salesman named Elmer Wheeler who in 1937 coined the now-famous maxim of "Don’t sell the steak - sell the sizzle!". For those who don't know, the sizzle is the sound made by a steak when it is first tossed onto a hot barbeque. His idea had merit. Looking at a photo of a steak or listening to a radio commercial about steaks would be unlikely to generate much immediate purchasing response, but hearing that sound might well recall fond memories and persuade shoppers to head for the supermarket. His theory was that it isn't the simple product that generates a purchase but rather our emotional response to some element of that product.

Capitan America – L’uomo con due teste

 

Di Larry Romanoff per il Saker Blog, 20 marzo 2021

Se il precedente saggio intitolato “Se l’America si dissolve…” era l’introduzione alla serie di articoli su Bernays e la Propaganda, questo articolo ne costituisce l’epilogo.

 

Qui ripercorrerò in breve alcune osservazioni fatte in precedenza al fine di sviluppare un elemento che ha bisogno di una ulteriore trattazione.

 

Nell’articolo intitolato “La sindrome dell’Utopia” ho citato la teoria di Elizabeth Anderson su ciò che io chiamo “La maschera della propaganda”. Questa teoria afferma che, quando le idee politiche o la “storia ufficiale” divergono troppo dalla realtà, gli ideali o la narrativa ufficiale diventano loro stessi una sorta di maschera che ci impedisce di percepire il divario. Quando la dottrina della propaganda è troppo lontana dalla verità fattuale, le vittime perdono la loro capacità di distinguere la realtà dalla finzione e diventano incapaci di riconoscere la discrepanza tra i loro ideali e le loro azioni o tra le loro convinzione e la verità. Nello stesso articolo ho delineato come gli Americani siano colpevoli di ciò che io definisco la “sindrome dell’utopia”: essi, infatti, non si confrontano con il mondo reale delle loro azioni ma con un qualche standard utopico di ideali che esistono solo nella loro immaginazione, un mondo fatto di fantasie e illusioni distinte dalla realtà. Successivamente, ho trattato la mentalità in bianco e nero che pervade l’America, il risultato della loro cristianità e il lavoro di Bernays, i cui metodi di manipolazione dell’opinione pubblica hanno creato un tipo di mentalità binaria. Bernays ha affermato che un sovraccarico emotivo nella sua propaganda può produrre nelle sue vittime solo una limitata gamma di potenti risposte emotive, forzando il passaggio emotivo in una modalità binaria “on/off”, senza nessun’altra alternativa.

“这是我见过的规模最大、最令人震惊的中央控制的媒体大肆恶意谩骂。”

 

 我是在阅读了西方世界所有媒体关于卡米拉·瓦利耶娃(Kamila Valieva)和俄罗斯在奥运会上的数千篇文章后对自己做出这一评论的。但当卡米拉(Kamila)跌到第二位时,我几乎没说出口,被弗拉基米尔·普京(VladimirPutin)和俄罗斯(再次)取代。

 

 作为背景,我通常每天阅读15到20个国家的30多份出版物,以了解不同国家在重要话题上的言论,我还保存了所有包含有用内容的网页。随着西方对俄罗斯的这些攻击,我停止了。我已经做了很多年了,但在这种情况下,我再也不能忍受我正在读的垃圾了,于是我放弃了。

What part will your country play in World War III?

By Larry Romanoff, May 27, 2021

The true origins of the two World Wars have been deleted from all our history books and replaced with mythology. Neither War was started (or desired) by Germany, but both at the instigation of a group of European Zionist Jews with the stated intent of the total destruction of Germany. The documentation is overwhelming and the evidence undeniable. (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11)
