Contrary to popular belief that Democracy depends upon a full dissemination of information, the opposite is in fact true. Since the invention of the printing press, those who would hold the reins of power have fought against an informed public. One quote from the time of the printing press goes as follows: “They have made the people thereby so curious and so arrogant that they will never find humility enough to submit to a civil rule.” “Democracy is a game for the elites, not for the masses, which must be marginalized, diverted and controlled, for their own good.” As quoted by Noam Chomsky. Our founding fathers believed that those who owned the country should control it.Walter Lippman (Author) penned the term “the manufacture of consent” around 1921. he spoke of the Practice of Democracy, and how the common good is a concept that eluded the average citizen as their interests are to varied. They must be controlled. This is the domain of a specialized class. Similar theorys were espoused by Reinhold Niebuhr. He said “rationality belongs to the cool observer”. But because of the stupidity of the average man, who puts his force not behind reason, but faith. This naive faith requires necessary illusion, and emotionally potent oversimplification.” The illusions are provided by the myth maker to keep the common citizen “on course”. There are two ways a government can control the populace, by force, or by information. It is essential to control what people think, the method is called propaganda.
