Mega Manipulation

The open dispute is the fundamental prerequisite of a democratic society. This prerequisite has long been absent in Germany, as in many other Western states. The politics of the established forces in Germany are driven by a market-radical and war-affine coalition of all parties. The consciousness industry reflects and amplifies these ideologies. The ideologues willingly accept that the constitutional state and democracy are being trampled upon. It is no longer just about media manipulation and propaganda; it is about psychological warfare, information warfare, and increasingly about censorship against civil society. Ullrich Mies has assembled an international team of authors who articulate their own thoughts on propaganda in the Western facade democracies, neither submitting to the prevailing opinion power of market-conforming democrats nor to the dictates of the linguistic gatekeepers of political correctness.
