The Engineering of Consent
By Jill Ohayon
Have you ever had an extremely strange
dream?
Dreams are the direct road to the unconscious mind.
Hidden in the unconscious mind of every human:
Irrational, dangerous, and disturbing desires.
World War II
Edward Bernays & Anna Freud
Dr. Ernest Dichter
The Secret Self of the American Consumer
It evoked unconscious guilt.
So they added an egg.
Jacobo Arbenz
And so they sought the help of Edward Bernays.
C.I.A. Rebel Army
Bernays had successfully manipulated the Americans.
The Engineering of Consent
The paradox
Sound more like democracy now?
Dr. Ewan Cameron
The Allan Memorial Hospital in Montreal
People began questioning psychoanalysis
They tried to give her a family life
Unfortunately, she committed suicide.
Bob & Mabbey
