A good article from The Washington Post. Beware the "nudge." Please read the article on this link: http://www.againstcronycapitalism.org/2015/09/how-the-american-government-is-trying-to-control-what-you-think/
Based on my research of the people's statements left on the Facebook where I found this article mentioned, I can say that almost all who posted their comments are very unhappy with the things how they are going in this country, unhappy with the big influence of plutocrats, lobbyists of corporate and elite powers on the American government and the outcome of that influence. You can read the comments of the people:
- John Zimmermann:"It's not the government, it's the plutocracy and the corporations, you dimwits!" 23 Likes
Nadia Ramone:"It's the plutocracy in bed with government."
- Gene Herron:""The Plutocrats will BUY Sanders and the Corporate whores in the Democratic Party... which is most of them. Just like they bought the Democrats and FDR in the 1930s or LBJ and the Democrats in the 1960s. I guess some of us didn't read the Pentagon Papers did they? The problem is the progressives are way worse! That is why I Stand with Rand! We need to shrink all government."

- Robin Pearce:"Just have to laugh at those who think Sanders is going to save them. If for one millisecond the Democrats or the Republicans thought he was going to change the game they would have buried his name under a heap of dung. No, Sanders is merely part of the propaganda to make you think that any person can make a change. To argue with me only exposes how easy it is to placate the average person with propaganda."
- John Zimmermann:"Robin Pearce, burring Senator (soon president )Sanders under dung will be quite hard do to the fact he has been preaching the same message his whole political life.Unlike the rest of the politicians on both sides. Senator's (soon president) Sanders, most of his money comes from the common man and there unions,not corporations or millionaires." - Mike Himmerich:"The Post is worried it will lose its propaganda contract if Govt cuts out the middleman." - Alex O. Sellman:"A very great number of people today do not realize the magnitude of the police state we actually have here in the USA, which is an intimate bedfellow with both crony capitalism and the mafia. It's been growing and getting more sophisticated for decades now. ABSOLUTE CONTROL is their ultimate goal, with individual freedoms thoroughly flushed down the toilet. And they know full well that it cannot happen as long as the citizens still have the Second Amendment guarantee, so they chip away at it until it is destroyed. It is in fact the Second Amendment that protects all others, and every attempt to undermine it must be vaporized."
- Ron Price:"Some people are just stupid sheep and can be herded and pushed and some are stubborn strong willed Americans who love the country and its freedoms a hell of a lot more than they can be led by a criminal lawless government of thugs and criminals. The fear is we have more sheep than defenders of our freedoms."
- Aidan Haggerty:"It's 50-50...About 50% are maker while the rest are takers... It can't last for long..."
- Ben Dykes:"If Americans don't take the time to do a little research in an age where information is easier to obtain than any time in history, than they deserve to be manipulated."
- Charisse Erickson:"True, but look how few ever fact-check ANYTHING. They decide what is "true" by blindly choosing what fits their paradigms."
- Jason Stein:"This has been happening since the beginning of civil government. Obama is not doing anything new."
- John Raudenbush:"Yes he is just doing what each administration does, which is to tighten the bonds just a little bit more. This process started long before any of us were born. International bankers have been trying to rule economies for centuries. Read up on the Rothschild family. A real eye opener."
- Ron Rugg:"Yup they just keep stepping up their game with every new administration" https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10206703952949944&set=p.10206703952949944&type=3. "Putin takes on ISIS." http://www.xyz.net.au/putin-takes-on-isis/ - Aidan Haggerty:"Of courses the government is trying to control what you think. They want control over your behavior as much as possible. Just look at our K-12 system or most colleges throughout the country."
- Dick Roberts:"760 million on ads... feed lots of hungry kids... Obama resign .. you are the worst thing to ever happen to America... but you taught us one thing! Never again... America, it's time to rise up before Obama and the UN totally destroy America... If immigrants start to flood our country, it's time for our military to save and protect America even if we have a treasonous president. Do not let them legislate our demise... We do not have to allow these people into our country...stand up"
- Robin Pearce:"Destruction started long before Obama. Your statement just proved how easy you are to belive propaganda."
- Joe Owczarzak:"All the proof I needed was when the feds subsidized converter boxes for digital TV. They need TV to control the masses."
- Robin Pearce:"Dang you're not very quick since this has been going on since the 1940's."
- Donna Owen:"THE GOVT. IS TRYING TO CONTROL WHAT AMERICANS THINK!!!!!!"
- Pierce McDowell:"The corporate sponsors and owners of the media are the biggest propagandists, of course. American media is completely based on advertising and PR."
- Brian Cooper:"Oh and you don't think HOLLYWOOD and the Left wing media have not been doing this since the late 50's ? Look at the massive division tactics being implemented now just to drum up votes for the Democrats. It doesn't bother them that both Black citizens and Police are going to be killed. The division is important to their agenda."
- Pierce McDowell:"The Pentagon has a significant amount of control over Hollywood. Corporate media and it's use of advertisement somehow get overlooked here when it is by far the major factor in creating propaganda, and always has been. PR is America's biggest industry."
- Louis C Carl:"What is new it that, when beautiful people are in power the fourth estate elects to participate in the charade. Were McCain, Romney, Bush, Trump, Rand, especially Rand, in power the reporting would be on a continuous loop."
- Robert Lynch:"This is why I'm immediately suspicious of all government justified government spending whether it's the military, USPS, IRS, or the EPA. Bureaucrats number one priority is to their own self-preservation. Their number two priority is to somehow justify their own existence. Where would we be without them? Answer: A lot better off."
- Robin Pearce:"Must be a troll since privatization of mail service would be 10x more expensive not to mention it could refuse to deliver your mail altogether. Not thinking things through is your strong point. As for the EPA it proves you know nothing about riders, lobbyists, etc."
- Michael Redding:"We are the American government! What does your headlines say about that?"
- Robin Pearce:"It says government propaganda is working good on people like you."
- Michael Redding:"Robin, you could not be further from reality. You have zero knowledge of my politics or my sentiments about our government."
- Mark Gardner:"The government is just an extension of whoever controls it. Wall Street runs the country. Whatever they want is what will happen. Including taxpayer funded handouts to profitable corporations and billionaires who create jobs for their Communist Chinese in slave labor camps..."
- Bob Bonin:"You know what I think? Control this! Control yourselves!"
- Joe Twardus:"Government can't control your mind because they would need one of their own to be able to think that far."
- David Ballard:"IF we as Americans are to survive another 200 years, and, prove that freedom does work. We MUST NEVER forget history. Not just American history but world history. Other wise, These self acclaimed blue bloods, will continue to rule. If this happens we will always have rulers like KIng george(< smaller case on purpose, because he was a tyrant)."
- Robert Turner:"So what does the 3 trillion dollars has to do with anything? Just more scare tactics. It has been going on longer the this administration. Government on both side is evil."
- Dan Buckles:"And who has the most influence in government? The one percent and the corporations who lobby them. At the state level, it's AlEC and at the federal level if comes through K Street. They use the media and their shills to convince you that the government is the problem and then use it to advance their interests above that of the public's."
- Phil Ortiz:"The media is controlled by six corporations. The Post is just a toady for the message of the owners. They've completely taken over the message since Sept. eleven."
- Judy Minzes:"Very true. The government is spending our taxpayer dollars to 'NUDGE" our thinking to the wait they want you to think. I've heard ads on the radio from Health and Human Services that the first time, made me wonder, hey, are WE the people paying for these ads? Yes, we are."
- Diane Walton Wadlington:"Establishment of its religion-theocracy of big government/big brother. Time for congress to join Obamacare!" - Nadia Ramone:"It's illegal for the government to use our tax dollars to propagandize us. Yes, they can use the CIA and the State Dept. and god knows what other agencies they have (still not cool) to influence foreign populations, but they are not allowed to propagandize us."
- Richard K. Wendt:"It goes on all the time with government propaganda".
- John D Harned:"Spend all they want, most everyone I know distrusts government and will continue to do so... Excepting two progressives, who'd be happy for government to dictate, rule, and lord over every aspect of one's life."
- Pierce McDowell:"Virtually our entire media is beholden to corporate interests, with the government playing a relatively small part.The Pentagon plays a role by censoring all movies with military related content. We are "paying for propaganda". That's how it has always been. I guess we are supposed to resent a bit of governmental PR interrupting our unending stream of capitalist propaganda."
- Samuel Reynolds:"There will be a revolt, just like in other parts of the world ?"
- Frank Champagne:"We need to nudge these statists out of power."
- Richard Mullen:"The Washington Compost is all propaganda!"
- Sue Ellen:"When I was in college, Freud was just going out of style, and there was a NEW psychology. The class was called "Behavior Modification" and explained how positive and negative reinforcement can change behavior. This is EXACTLY what the government is doing. Beware the manipulator.
