I had originally intended to do a short article about how the media could gauge their impact on society by taking a largely unknown and mediocre music group and shoving them down the collective throats of America's youth. When I started researching I had little idea of what I would uncover. Over the course of a few days I garnered enough material to write a book. The music scene is just a cog in a much larger wheel. The Beatles are merely a spoke. Over the next few articles, I intend lay out a system of cultural control that rivals Orwell's 1984, if not dwarfs it.
The Beatles, as I wrote yesterday, were kicking around the club scene in Germany with very little success. As the music video I posted yesterday showed, they had very little talent; especially in light of the fact that many other British music groups that did and went largely unnoticed, except for small followings. Frankly, their music sucked but then, it was meant to. When the great hullabaloo about the Beatles started in 1963, I became suspicious but had no idea what about. All I knew was that their music was really bad and everyone was going crazy over it. Why the profound cultural impact?
Josef Goebbels real genius lay in the fact that he understood the impact of media on the public. Hitler was a powerful speaker but his message would have been unheeded if the populace hadn't been prepared beforehand. This is where the media came in. The movies portrayed certain groups as evil lurking characters which in turn helped shape public opinion about those very groups. Similarly, when the Nazis took power, one of the first things they did culturally was to portray American music as harmful to the Aryan psyche, categorizing it as "Neggar Kike Muzik." Music has a very powerful effect, particularly on young people.
A more recent example of media's effect on culture would be the presidency of Barack Obama. If he had run in 1950, he would have gotten less than 1% of the vote. For a black man to become president, the culture had to be prepared. One method of altering cultural norms is through music. In the late 50's Chuck Berry broke the "color barrier." It became "cool" to listen to black music. The cultural revolution that hit America during the 60's was predicated upon "coolness," it could be said. In no other time was being cool so important and it gained importance as time went on. It was the dawning of the age of Aquarius as the song so amply points out. It was all by design. Perhaps no one has written so prolifically about the effect of the Beatles (and Tavistock Institute) as Dr. John Coleman:
"When Tavistock brought the Beatles to the United States nobody could have imagined the cultural disaster that was to follow in their wake. The Beatles were an integral part of "THE AQUARIAN CONSPIRACY," a living organism which sprang From "THE CHANGING IMAGES OF MAN," URH (489)-2150-Policy Research Report No. 4/4/74. Policy Report pre-pared [sic] by SRI Center for the study of Social Policy, Director, Professor Willis Harmon.
"The phenomenon of the Beatles was not a spontaneous rebellion by youth against the old social system. Instead it was a carefully crafted plot to introduce by a conspiratorial body which could not be identified, a highly destructive and divisive element into a large population group targeted for change against its will. New words and new phrases--prepared by Tavistock(1)-- were introduced to America along with the Beatles. Words such as "rock" in relation to music sounds, "teenager," "cool," "discovered" and "pop music" were a lexicon of disguised code words signifying the acceptance of drugs and arrived with and accompanied the Beatles wherever they went, to be "discovered" by "teenagers." Incidentally, the word "teenagers" was never used until just before the Beatles arrived on the scene, courtesy of the Tavistock Institute for Human Relations."
It's important to point out that Stanford Research Institute is one of many college level research facilities that are part of the Tavistock global network. I can't emphasize enough that media control is merely one thread in a huge network of mind control institutions that make up Tavistock Institute. Of that thread, the Beatles were one tiny yet crucial strand. The seed had been planted and has grown immensely since the early 1960's. That is not to imply that Tavistock itself began at this time, it's been around since at least 1922. It's been working behind the scenes to manipulate public opinion with one purpose- world domination. This video shows how pervasive Tavistock is and outlines a few effects in a few minutes. It would take pages to show the same information.
