From archive material from the 1940s onward, it has become apparent that
the Rockefeller Foundation has for decades now fanatically nurtured
research into fear-inducing brainwashing techniques for the masses.
In a series of generous grants in
the 1940s- and 50s, extended to Professor Carl I. Hovland of Yale
University, the Foundation actively funded research into “the
psychological mechanisms through which communications exert their
influence.” Main research subject deals with the question of “how the
individual deals with the welter of conflicting ideas with which he is
constantly bombarded; how "wishful thinking" and emotional bias affect
judgment; and whether the judgment process is transferred from one
situation to another are among the problems to be studied”, we read in the 1954 Rockefeller yearly report.
Hovland, besides conducting
research into behavioral and attitude-changes of groups, was also part
of the Rockefeller Foundation’s social science staff. In addition to
that, the professor was heavily involved in other branches of the
Anglo-American establishment. In the study Origins of mass communications research during the American cold war by Timothy Glander, the author explains:
“(…) Hovland held key positions
on several major national boards, including the Air Force’s Human
Resources Research Institute, the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller
Foundation, the Office of Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force, and he
doubtlessly had input in determining the research agendas that these
organizations pursued.”
Already in 1948 the Foundation was directing cash toward Hovland and his team. In the 1948 report the authors outlined the reasons behind the grants given:
“An understanding of
communication and attitude change is important to our educational
system, to those who lead great organizations, and to those who are
concerned with political opinion and behavior. More dependable knowledge of how effective communication may be achieved in the area of attitude and opinion is essential (…).”
In the days of the Cold War, propaganda was often so blatantly
obvious to the accustomed-to-freedom westerner that it was more easily
identifiable as such. The Rockefeller Foundation understood that the
American people needed to be subjected to more sophisticated forms of
manipulation if the gradual push for global government was to be
effectively sold in the decades to come. The 1954 report explains:
“Although movies, television, and comic books are widely believed
to be effective in contributing to the rise in juvenile delinquency in
this country, these and the other media of mass communication appear to
be much less effective when applied to the desirable end of promoting
good citizenship, or a positive democratic ideology in the "cold war."”
“Good citizenship”. A phrase that should chill the very fiber of every freedom-loving individual.
“(…) it is feared that Soviet
mass communications are outstandingly successful in disseminating
communist propaganda, both behind the Iron Curtain and in neutral
countries. In an effort to throw light on this anomaly and to aid development of scientific principles governing the effectiveness of mass media,
the Rockefeller Foundation has continued its support of the
Communications Research Program at Yale University with an outright
grant of $200,000.”
In 1954, 200,000 dollars was an
exceptional amount of money. This substantial grant is just one example
out of many in which the Rockefeller Foundation threw huge sums of cash
in the direction of social scientists for refining and perfecting the
art of indoctrination. One of
the results of their studies was that fear, induced or otherwise, makes
the person a willing victim for the elite. The website
changingminds.org gives an adequate summing up of professor Hovland’s findings:
“You do not have to cause pain to
create fear. The human frontal cortex has a primary function in
thinking about the future. We are quite skilled at imagining what might
happen and experiencing anticipatory emotions. This has proved helpful
in our evolution, but it can also cause problems as anticipated fear of
things that may not happen cause us stress and allow others to persuade
us.”
The study-phase has long since
evolved in the implementation-phase. In the mid seventies the Foundation
was already busy buying off reporters and funding media-empires into
existence. Even then “climate change” was actively being promoted as a
tragic result of human meddling in the affairs of mother earth.
Genetically engineered food was already being pushed as the cure to
remedy all ills. The thing was putting the emotion-based responses as
observed by Hovland into practice. The 1974 Rockefeller Foundation journal reports:
“Several science editors were
asked to participate in Foundation meetings on climate change, food
production and interstate conflict, genetic resistance in plants to
pests, and aquaculture. Stories appeared subsequently on the front page
of The New York Times, and the Associated Press carried substantial
stories which were widely used. In each instance, the writers were
introduced to our program officers and encouraged to use them as
resource people. (Officers are now, in fact, being called on by
journalists, particularly in areas of current high news interest such as
food production, population problems, environmental issues, and the
arts.).”
On several occasions, and in different publications spread throughout
its long and sordid past, the Rockefeller Foundation openly brags using
media- figureheads for their own purposes. In none of these instances
does the RF mention any problem encountered with any of the media moguls
they contacted. In the 1974 yearly report, Bill Moyers is mentioned as
one of the beneficiaries of information disseminated by the Foundation.
“In preparing its remarkable 25-part series on the world food situation, the
New York Times reporters have become acquainted and have established
fruitful ongoing relationships with a good many of our officers. Our
staff have provided substantial information and further contacts for
Bill Moyers in his television series dealing with the problems of global
interdependence. These are only a few of the many productive new
relationships we have established with representatives of the mass
media.”
In order to sell the public on world government, the research of
professor Hovland has proven invaluable. As anyone can see, the
techniques are fanatically being applied to this day. Consider the
warmongering-machine the Anglo-American establishment fires up as soon
as geopolitical objectives come into view. In part II of this
investigation we will delve into another dimension of professor
Hovland’s research which lies at the core of all mass communications:
the influence of film and music on the subconscious mind, directed both
at the individual and at the masses.
