The manipulation of the media now has no boundaries. The political consensus of opinion and that is regulated through very specific media strategies that rely on 10 basic rules. Noam Chomsky helps us to unravel the deception
In these days of political instability come back on the tones are mixed and the issues that have driven the media cauldron of the last 15 years: security, justice, economy, betrayal, sex. In our country happens to many naive as to continue to be surprised at the joke of the Prime Minister, merely jokes and proclamations of the premier brand Brianza outputs as unacceptable, regardless of how many machines is the logic behind every single statement. A well-oiled mechanism that makes use of not only politicians, but marketing experts and men of power in general. A well-known as a scholar of linguistics Noam Chomsky has compiled a list of 10 rules, which are used to dope the minds, sick, confused in their every perception, mixing reality and fantasy, evidence, and illusory construction. Here they are: 1-
The strategy of distraction The key element of social control is the distraction of the strategy is to divert public attention from important issues and changes agreed by the political and economic elites, through the technique of flood or flooding continuous distractions and trivial information. The distraction of the strategy is also needed to prevent the public interest in knowledge essential area of \u200b\u200bscience, economics, psychology, neurobiology and cybernetics. "Keep the public's attention diverted from the real social problems, imprisoned by issues with no real importance. Keep the public busy, busy, busy, no time to think, back to the farm as other animals (cited in the text "Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars).
2 - create problems and then offer solutions This method is also called "problem-reaction-solution." This creates a problem, a "situation" provided to cause a reaction from the public, with the aim that this is the principal measures who wish to accept. For example: a spill or allow it to step up urban violence, or arrange for bloody attacks, in order that the public is the applicant for safety laws and policies at the expense of freedom or well: to create an economic crisis to accept as a necessary evil, the relegation of social rights and the dismantling of public services.
3 - The strategy of gradualism To accept an unacceptable degree, just apply it gradually, a dropper, for consecutive years. E 'in this way that social and economic conditions radically new (neoliberal) were imposed during the decades of the 80 and 90: State minimum, privatization, precariousness, flexibility, mass unemployment, wages can no longer ensure decent incomes, so many changes that would cause a revolution if they had been applied only once.
4 - The strategy of delay Another way to accept an unpopular decision is to present it as "painful and necessary," gaining public acceptance, in time, for future application. It 's easier to accept a sacrifice but a sacrifice immediate future. First, because the effort is not used immediately. Second, because the public, mass, always has a tendency to naively hope that "everything will be better tomorrow "and that the sacrifice required may be avoided. This gives the public more time to get used to the idea of \u200b\u200bchange and resigned to accept it when the time comes.
5 - Consult the public as children Most direct advertising to the general public, using speeches, topics, characters, and a pitch particularly for children, often close to the weakness, as if the viewer were a creature of few years or a mentally disabled. The more you try to deceive the viewer, the more you tend to use a childish tone. Why? "If someone is addressing a person as if he were 12 years or less, then, based on suggestibility, you will tend, with some probability, to a response or reaction, even without a critical sense as that of a person 12 years or less (see "Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars").
6 - Using the emotional aspect of much reflection advantage of the emotion is a classic technique to cause a short circuit on a rational analysis and, finally, the critical sense of the individual. In addition, the use of emotional register opens the gateway to the unconscious to implant or inject ideas, desires, fears and fears, compulsions, or induce certain behaviors ....
7 - Keep the public in ignorance and mediocrity ensure that the public is incapable of understanding the technologies and methods for its control and its slavery. "The quality of education given to the lower classes must be the poor and mediocre as possible so that the distance of ignorance that plans among the lower classes and upper classes is, and remains, impossible to fill the lower classes" .
8 - Encourage the public to be complacent with mediocrity push the public to believe that it is fashionable to be stupid, vulgar and ignorant ...
9 - Enhancing the self-guilt Far believe that the individual is only him guilty of his misfortune, because of its inadequate intelligence, his ability or his efforts. So instead of rebelling against the economic system, the individual devalues \u200b\u200bes'incolpa car, which in turn creates a state of depression, one of whose effects is the inhibition of its action. And without action, there is no revolution!
10 - Getting to know people better than they themselves know Over the past 50 years, rapid advances in science have generated a widening gap between the public's knowledge and those owned and used by ruling elites. Thanks to biology, neurobiology, and applied psychology, the "system" has enjoyed an advanced understanding of human beings, in both its physical and psychological. The system was able to better understand the common person than he is known. This means that, in most cases, the system exerts greater control and a great power over people, more than the same individual exercises over himself.
