    "...the political manipulation of the masses represents nothing but the final result of an incredibly tenacious and thorough manipulation of their mind and soul. ... At first I could not help but be amazed at how short a time it took this great evil [the media] power within the state to create certain opinion even where it meant totally falsifying profund desires and views which surely existed among the public. In a few days a ridiculous episode had become a significant state action, while, conversely, at the same time, vital problems fell a prey to public oblivion, or rather were simply snatched out from the memory and consciousness of the masses."
    — Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf

    "...logic is not independent of content..."
    — Max Horkheimer, philosopher of cultural Marxism

    The media and politics have lots of influence on how people think, that's fact (the proof is, commercials influence what people buy) But when there are another media outlets (e.g Infowars and RT, the 'alternative' media) that warns you about this, this is going to cause millions of people to start to dislike the (old or msm) media, and what happens is organisation of millions of people, a switch from old to new media (fed up of the lies and deception and artificial stuff, and so on) This is what Hitler, and in this time the radio and tv hosts of the alternative media do not tell radio listeners and tv watchers. This is how Hitler could, and the alternative media is gaining numbers (means organisation) This era is about organisation, thats why people should focus on that, because if you can't see how you are organized you are (mass) organized (e.g the Egyptian people couldn't see their own organisation, it happened to them) Listen how often Infowars tell the listener how many millions of listeners they have and how more and more radiostaitons.start to broadcast Infowars, it spreads, in other words, more and more people hear other information, new 'refreshing' information, but that information is not the truth either, that is again lots of misinformation and nonsence. All media does the same basicly, hosts acting hyper active, media always screams at you (the video shows the problem, the screaming of the host, Hitler did the same) What that does is raising emotions in millions, people copycat that behaviour as well. This is all war propaganda, it does not lower emotions in millions of people.
