In 1968 After the death of Dr. Martin Luther king Jr. there was much unrest, discord and wide-spread violence that which increasingly placed the peace and stability of the nation in dire jeopardy. This resulted in the decline of national stability and loss of lives and property that cost the nation and taxpayers millions of dollars. These factors, combined with the rapidly tarnishing American global image, led to the then president, Lyndon B Johnson, ordering that a commission be formed, later known as the Kerner Commission, to investigate and prescribe a cure or recommendations for the problem.
The Kerner Commission concluded that blatant White racism was the single aggravating factor for the collective problems. This finding required that the U.S. Government abandon its usage of blatant forms of racism used to control and maintain its White dominance. This abandoning of dated tactics led to the need for developing an improved method of controlling and suppressing its Black population.
The U.S. Governments agents of White supremacy quickly reformed their techniques of institutionalized racism. Changing times made it necessary for the U.S. government to change its methods to a much more subtle and socially acceptable means of continuing its racial suppression of Blacks and to maintain its White dominance. Because the blatant methods, of assuring that its White dominance be maintained, used and condoned in the past are no longer morally and socially acceptable, the U.S. Government secretly implemented a far more sophisticated method of maintaining its white dominance.
The United States government secretly implemented its largest ever covert assault operation against its Black population through a detrimentally campaign of psychological warfare that uses mis-information, false statistics, and negative propaganda media reports. The unrelenting daily assaults on the Black psyche corrupts African Americans sense of reason and unity thus creating the culture of failure and disparity that now afflicts modern Black America.
Today, the U.S. government, like many other developed nations, conducts planned campaigns of extensive strategic psychological operations through the national media to influence the perception and climate of the nation towards the attainment of its governmental objectives. Its unrelenting objective towards maintianing its white dominance and control resulted in the U.S. Government implementing these same proven method of covert mass psychological manipulation against its its black population. It is a sophisticated system of white racism that deliberately wears only the appearance, if any, of being totally self afflicted by African Americans themselves. In doing so, the United States Government have acquired a far more insidious and covert method of ensuring that its white dominance is maintained that exists behind a clever shroud of secrecy and deceit for it is in this way that the evils of racism thrive best -- when its victims do not recognize the evil.
This modern system of institutionalized racism is so in fact so sophisticated , that one may compare Americas old system of white racism- used against African Americans in the past-- to that of this modern type by saying that the previous system had a GED while today's methods has a PHD. For today system is for more sophisticated, elaborated and proficient then any system of racism previously faced by African Americans-even slavery.
Today as a mean of ensuring that its objective of maintaining white dominance the United States Government has modified its methods of exploiting and suppressing its Black population into a form more socially acceptable in contemporary times that uses mis-education, false statistics and negative propaganda media reports -implemented through the national media- that equates a psychological warfare that conspires to corrupt blacks of unity, reason, and common sense, thus deliberately soliciting the disparity that has now become modern Black America. Moreover it is the core factor of the unprecedented amount of disparities afflicting Black America today .
Governmental Psychological warfare is the art of directing masses and individual towards governmental objectives by means of cleverly manipulating theory and misinformation. Here is a simplified analogy of the psychological aspect of this modern system of racism that is now being implemented against Americas Black population. Let us say, for example, that a group of people was aboard their own massive ship and that their ship was being shadowed by another neighboring ship, a neighboring ship that was constantly broadcasting derogatory messages to the first group that their ship was lesser, smaller, not seaworthy or perhaps slowly sinking or that their crew was incompetent or was planning a mutiny. With time, the group receiving the negative messages, being unable to refute or to confirm these derogatory messages and deficiencies will grow weary and paranoid of the negative messages and will eventually comes to accept these negative assessments of themselves. The perception created by the taunting now unconsciously influences how the taunted group perceives themselves, subsequently causing them to become distrustful of themselves, doubting themselves, hating themselves and, eventually, fighting among themselves.
The taunted group may even become so besieged by deep feelings of inadequacy that they may even jump into the sea and attempt to swim towards the taunting ship now believing it to be superior to their own boat even if their own ship was in fact better.
This science of psychology works by affecting the unconscious mind through deception. Its weapon is not the way it is sent, but the messages that it carries and how the messages affect the recipient and influence society.
Within a real world setting, this is implemented against African Americans through U.S. governmental agencies that leak false derogatory and negative stories through press releases in magazine articles, radio, television documentaries concerning its Black population to its collaborators in the news media, which either knowingly or unknowingly carry the false information as their own. These false information are designed to demoralize, discourage, berate, subjugate, and or dismantle the Black population. It also perpetuate and frame the myth of Whites racial, moral, and ethical superiority over its Black population
This method of psychological warfare not only adversely affects black self perception, unity and ultimately upward mobility, but also produces a shift in victimization in behalf of whites that lessens pressure for social change on behalf of Blacks thus making the nation and the entire world insensitive to the plight of African Americans, thus successfully striping them of the national and international support that was acquired during the 1960's civil rights struggles. It also creates a consensual environment of in which blacks are systematically suppressed through its judicial and prison systems. This is done by the immense campaign of false statistics and media reports degrading its back population and disproportionately portraying Black men as the face of crime and Black women as the face of welfare. These portrayals of African Americans are totally false and inaccurate but are necessary to make it appear that Black behavior is the reason for White racism in the U.S. Moreover, this method also makes any serious criticism of White racism almost impossible today. Not only does it tranquilize efforts on behalf of Blacks, it also affects attitudes that, when enacted through governmental policies, laws, and other legislation actions, serve to ensure that African Americans will not advance. Its effects are manifested in ideas, education, governmental policies, economic stratification, social segregation, housing markets, hiring and promotion practices, psychological issues, and minority access to a variety of social services and opportunity. It also creates a false justification for the legal systems mistreatment of African Americans wherein they are disproportionately incarcerated, given stiffer sentences, and are more likely than other racial groups to be treated brutally, beaten, and fired upon by police officers while they are unarmed. Moreover, some studies have shown that this shift of victimization now reflects increasingly acrimonious beliefs and prejudiced perceptions about and against African Americans that are arguably stronger today than they were after emancipation.Its campaign of false derogatory stories about its black population produces a perversion of reality that insinuates that America would be a better society as a whole if African Americans were gone, thus psychologically changing the root problem of racism in America to be due to Blacks behavior rather than Whites proclivity for racism. This shift of victimization that the problem of racism in America is due to the fault of African Americans engenders distorted perceptions and increasingly prejudiced and acrimonious beliefs about its African American population that creates a consensual environment that facilitates the easier exploitation and suppression of Black America. [For when contempt of Blacks appears to be justifiable, it is the fiercest and most effective type of racism because its witnesses, bystanders, and jurors will sit by idly allowing African Americans to be brutally mistreated under the belief that it is justified.]
Although this may sound a bit like bad science fiction, this concept of the U.S government using psychology as a weapon to influence and control its Black population is not at all ridiculous. Psychological Warfare is a real and well-proven technology that exceeds the territorial limits of conventional warfare to penetrate the proposed target. This system of applied psychological conditioning is indeed directly derived from those mind-conditioning programs and systems developed by the federal government. These systems were already perfected by members of the U.S. military and were then turned over to the intelligence sectors for other applications. The intelligence sector, in turn, deliberately and successfully undertook to have this same kind of highly negative, destructive and effective conditioning applied to targeted group and society as a whole.
Accordingly, many African Americans may ask the question of why would the United States Government implement such a racist scheme? The answer is although the United States Government portrays itself as the leading ethical and moral authority of the world and professes equal rights for all American citizens, its oldest and most important objective has always been an unyielding commitment towards the preservation of its White dominance. That objective has always directly correlated with the necessity to suppress the advancement and growth of its Black population, because if the U.S. government treated its Black population in a manner which does not promote its interest of maintaining White dominance and control, it would render the U.S. Government diametrically in opposition to itself. Therefore, it secretly uses every conceivable means and opportunity to suppress its Black population, even those that trample upon its own stated ethical values.
Furthermore, more than a century ago, Charles Darwin predicted in his book, "The Origin of Species" (1859) "the evolutionary theory would one day provide a new foundation for the science of psychology." The truth in his words where realized when the science of psychology, through the methods of propaganda techniques was codified and applied in a scientific manner by journalist Walter Lippman and psychologist Edward Bernays (nephew of Sigmund Freud) early in the 20th century. During World War I, Lippman and Bernays were hired by then United States President, Woodrow Wilson, to participate in the Creel Commission, the mission of which was to sway popular opinion in favor of entering the war, on the side of Britain . The war propaganda campaign of Lippman and Bernays produced such an intense anti-German hysteria as to permanently impress America ’s governmental elites with the potential of large-scale propaganda to control public opinion. Edward Bernays coined the terms "group mind" and "engineering consent", important concepts in practical propaganda work.. Bernays said in his 1928 book Propaganda, that; "The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. The current public relations industry is a direct outgrowth of Lippman's and Bernays' work and is still used extensively by the United States government.
Over time the techniques increased in their sophistication as modern advances in the understanding of the genetics of social behavior ushered in Sociobiology; a controversial new science of the biological study of social behavior of humans. Since the 1950's, U.S. experimental psychologists and Cognitive scientists have developed ideas about the unconscious mental process that proposes that most of our mental processes happen outside of our awareness suggesting that the ability to control the behavior of people around us subconsciously is now a distinct possibility. Moreover, over the past five decades, human sociobiology has transformed into an evolutionary psychology that has gained science the means and ability to control and, therefore, predict the actions and feelings of individuals or groups merely by the messages conveyed against them. According to this controversial use of psychology, the human mind is the most extraordinary part of the human body, and there seems to be little doubt, wrote biologist David Barash, "that the unconscious is real and that in certain obscure ways the forces of culture are all-powerful in shaping human behavior. Advances in these studies resulted in governments using psychology as a weapon for maintaining White dominance.
This effectiveness of the usage of the psychology of deceit to profoundly influenced and control individuals and mass groups was made obvious as a result of one of the most infamous mistakes in history. It happened on Oct. 30, 1938, when millions of Americans tuned in to a popular radio program that featured a plays directed by, and starring, Orson Welles. The performance that evening was an adaptation of the science fiction novel The War of the Worlds, about a Martian invasion of the earth. But in adapting the book for a radio play, Welles made an important change: under his direction the play was written and performed so it would sound like a news broadcast about an invasion from Mars, a technique that, presumably, was intended to heighten the dramatic effect. News of the panic was conveyed as a via genuine news report. As the audience listened to this simulation of news broadcast, created with voice acting and sound effects, a portion of the audience concluded that it was hearing an actual news account of an invasion from Mars. This quickly generated immense scare. People packed the roads, hid in cellars, loaded guns, fought among themselves, even wrapped their heads in wet towels as protection from Martian poison gas, in an attempt to defend themselves against aliens, oblivious to the fact that they were acting out the role of the panic-stricken public that actually belonged in a radio play. These people listening to the false broadcast were taken in by the totally false accounts and became confused, disarray and distrusting of their neighbors even resulting in immense violence. This example proves and demonstrated more potently than any argument, that beyond a question of a doubt, the enormous effectiveness of the media at affecting masses of people.
Given the preceded noted history and facts, clearly then connecting these dots should be made rather easy. Furthermore, the objective of the United States government has always been to maintain its White dominance over its Black population, and clearly, psychological warfare meets this need. It was the logical choice—because it covertlyprovides the U.S. Government the ability to both influence the national climate and engender personal psychological feelings among its Black population that meet the U.S government objectives of maintaining its white dominance. Furthermore, history overwhelmingly demonstrates that the White race’s innate proclivity for racism, control, and dominance is much too deeply ingrained for them to just merely give up their practices of implementing suppressive methods over its African American population. The records of history show that the reincarnation of suppressive methods into forms more acceptable to the changing times is a common practice of the United States government as seen after the abolishment of slavery wherein its methods of using racist, oppressive treatment of its Black population was reincarnated into Jim Crow laws. And let us not forget the many sorts of devious strategies and methods used to prevent Blacks from becoming registered voters. The historic and demonstrative evidence overwhelmingly reflects the reality that the U.S. government does manifest a proclivity for reinventing devious methods to suppress its Black population. This proclivity has led to the U.S. Government now using its proven method of psychological operations to control the advancement and growth of its Black population. It was the next logical choice for it provides the Government the benefit of the appearance of conducting humanitarian efforts to help its Black community while covertly seeking only to maintain its White dominance.
The ability to influence the nation in mass using psychological operations through the national media is highly effective because the media itself is very powerful in terms of its influence. For the media helps shape our views of the world, what we consider to be good or bad, and also forges our deepest values, identities, and our sense of what it means, for example, to be male or female. These facts, combined with those studies showing that the average American watches 18 hundred hours of television each year, affirm that there is a great inclination for Americans to be affected by psychological operations conducted through the national media. Clearly, the sophisticated method of psychological warfare met such a need. It was the logical choice, perfect for the changing times. Unlike the blatantly brutal forms of racism used in the past which Blacks were able to identify easily and therefore unify and form counter strategies, this modern method of racism works from a psychological perspective. This provided the U.S. government a more socially acceptable method of continuing the White racial hierarchy for dominance and control given that it is not as easily recognized. This new method exists in the space between overt racism and racial respect. Its methods include the ability to both influence the national climate and engender personal psychological feelings among Americans that meet the U.S government objective.
While this may still sound incredibly ridiculous or unbelievable for many, psychological warfare is a real method of warfare that is commonly used by the U.S. Government. It was even used during the Iraq war. The United States Military dropped propaganda leaflets on Iraq and planted favorable stories about the new Iraq in the Baghdad press, radio, and television media and also removed all mention of Saddam Hussein from the Baghdad grades school educational curricula. Its usage of psychological warfare has been ongoing throughout the entire combat operation in Iraq from the initial battle through the so-called rebuilding of Iraq . Moreover, the U.S. Governments methods of rewriting the Iraq schools curriculum, thus creating a curriculum more favorable in its depiction of westerners/Whites and using the Iraqi national media to perpetuate propaganda and misinformation to facilitate their easier exploitation and suppression, are remarkably consistent with the current social conditions and experiences of African Americans.
The objective of the United States government has always been to maintain its White dominance over its Black population, and clearly, psychological warfare meets this need”because it covertly creates a national climate that allows the government to suppress consensually the advancement of its African American population and to maintain its White dominance and national stability. Furthermore, history overwhelmingly demonstrates that the White races innate proclivity for racism, control, and dominance is much too deeply ingrained for them to just merely give up their practices of implementing suppressive methods over its African American population.
Clearly, the method of psychological warfare provides the United States Governmental elites with a method for meeting this need but doing so with the added benefit of not appearing racist. The records of history show that the reincarnation of suppressive methods into forms more acceptable to the changing times is a common practice of the United States government as seen after the abolishment of slavery wherein its methods of using racist, oppressive treatment of its Black population was reincarnated into Jim Crow laws. And, also, let us not forget the many sorts of devious strategies and methods used to prevent Blacks from becoming registered voters. The historic and demonstrative evidence overwhelmingly reflects the reality that the U.S. government does manifest a proclivity for reinventing devious methods to suppress its Black population. This proclivity has led to the U.S. Government now using its proven method of psychological operations to control the advancement and growth of its Black population. It was the next logical choice for it provides the Government the benefit of the appearance of conducting humanitarian efforts to help its Black community while covertly seeking only to maintain its White dominance. Those who forget history are destined to have history's crimes repeated against them.
