      What is truly remarkable is that all that you are beginning to see now (thank the creator for blessing you with true vision) has bin happening since before Aldous Huxley. Only now it is that more people are beginning to wake up to this truth, the reason for this awakening is the failure on the elites behalf to stick with the story they initially tried to sell and to dupe the world with something we know to be false. They made it alot easier to see through the charade because of this mistake. Which in turn has people doing their own research and having their own "professional" opinion on a subject without being told what there opinion should be. This is creating a huge duality amongst the world right now with people just waking up to this truth and not being able to manage there feelings on this monumental subject of control and then to be able to engage with those not able to see the truth in a more positive way by understanding that sleeping individuals position of thought since we have all been in their shoes thinking what they thought was right at some point in time.

      Too generic to be of any use. Kind of statement much loved by US politicians and propagandists.
      Interestingly, Huxley avoids any direct criticism to capitalism itself, at the same time he criticizes consumerism and population growth (which are basically the same - you cannot have economics of scale without a reasonably large population and integrated global markets). So his sole "concrete" suggestion is to have centralised car industry and a descentralised textile industry which is in full contradiction with the basic fundaments of capitalism and the way it works. But yes, to acknowledge that is probably "too Marxist" to Mr. Huxley and the journo. He was either omitting his true intents or he was simply ignorant on Political Economy.

      Well, he wasn't guessing. His brother, Julian, was one of the first directors at the U.N., and the President of the British Eugenics Society. Aldous admitted that the world put forward in Brave New World were not his creation, but rather the plans the powerful had for the world. He merely penned them down with his own flourish.

    Fascinating interview. What most people in our society don't realise is that global corporate and political power relies on us all feeling inadequate and unhappy with ourselves. This is why wealth gaps are so useful to large companies. Advertising is their reminder to us that we're either not good enough or don't have enough to be fulfilled. It creates envy and longing, neither of which feed the sense of self positively.

Example : whenever a show books someone like Stephen Fry. They definitely give respect and fascination to the obvious intellect and sit back and allow him to talk more freely, it is sadly a rarity. I'd imagine this interviewer didn't always have minds of Huxleys parallel.

      @@namewithheld9716 No, the unconscious mind would be targetted. For example, subliminal messages are an example of how a particular idea can be implanted into the mind of an audience by unconscious inculcation i.e. the audience sees and/or hears the message without knowing it on a conscious level and this happens repeatedly until the implanted idea starts to influence the behaviour of the subject.
      Emotions are somewhat mysterious phenomena that are usually but not always connected to conscious experiences e.g. a person listens to some music they enjoy and this causes them to feel pleasure. To influence emotions then would first require some contact with the subject's mind from which one would expect certain emotional responses e.g. if one could implant subconscious ideas of horror, death, plague and other unpleasant things one might expect this to eventually cause an emotional response such as sadness which may ultimately cause depression. My point here being that emotions are one step away from the mind, so to speak such that if targetting emotions *is* the goal, the mind would still have to be targetted first.

Contaminated dust off the mask had more germs and more dangerous than this fictious disease the criminal elite invented. Boris Johnson said, our future our Britain our Destiny, and behind the seens he is speaking about a NWO, a OWO, a Dictatership, a Police state, Global tyranny, Fascism.

    His brother Julian was accredited as the father of transhumanism and worked for the Tavistock institute (focus-behavioral science). Their grandfather was part of the original eugenics movement in England and known as the Darwin’s bulldog. That’s how Aldous knew of what was coming- not just a work of fiction or a wild guess -his work is based on factual evidence of what was being researched, developed and implemented behind closed doors (via established ngo’s , regulatory institutions and academia).

You only knew as much as what your only TV was broadcasting at the time. People living in remote villages with no access to TV were victims of having to blindly believe whatever the next person told them, since they had no devices to research and either confirm or refuse one's tale. Maybe today's problem is that our source of information is TOO diversified. We are bombarded with different news and conflicting opinions, creating anxiety and paranoia in the most gullible minds.

      The “wrong people” already know about all of this. They’ve been ruling and controlling the masses for all of time. Look back at all major civilizations in history and you’ll see they were run by narcissistic, power hungry, violent, greedy, terrible rulers. Very rarely are there good people in high positions of power because they are a threat, and all the other evil people kill them off because they see the threat they bring to to their power and wealth. And then you have evil people always scheming to kill and take over, then they succeed and either are in power or put their own cronies who they can control into power... this too happens to this very day look at usa and the Middle East. They got rig of Saddam, Gaddafi, they are trying with Iran and Syria now... if people don’t fall in line with the NWO they start an uprising of rebels, arm and train them, spread propaganda like “he’s using gas on his own civilians!!!” Then they get the public against them, they fund these coups all over the globe. And it’s not just the usa, it’s whoever is at the top. Whoever is NWO top guys... the crown council of 13, the committee of 300, the Illuminati, the world monarch.

      @@chrisgardner4222 I made my point. All forms of communication have been used by propagandists since humans began communicating. The difference is the permanence of the communication and it's proliferation since Gutenberg. Huxley, a published author, was aware of this. I'm sure some of the transmitters and recipients of smoke signals were also propagandists but that's just a hunch.
