There are many people and many authors who believe that civilization, mankind or our species has amnesia. I do not believe this. I believe we have been lied to since the beginning of recorded history and even before that. The first half of this book is about our four previous civilizations, and the ‘out of place artifacts’ and knowledge that has been hidden, debunked, lost or forgotten, such as the giant skeletons recorded in most newspapers in the 19th century, recorded Indian Vimanas that flew powered by a spinning plasma engines in 7,000 BCE, as well as flying ‘Aeros’ in Bavaria and the Western United States. It is about the Cro-Magnon giants of the Atlantean civilization escaping to the area of the Caucasus Mountains, Northern Africa, the Canary Islands and the East Coast of the Americas during the Solar System cataclysm in 10,900 BCE. It is about that same tall Atlantean Aryan (Iranian) race with blue eyes and red and blonde hair that migrated from the Caucasus mountains and became the ruling class from China to Egypt. It is also the story of the stealing, destroying, hiding and perverting the occult and lost knowledge of the ‘Brotherhood’ by the High-priests of Egypt, known as the Scarlet Council, so that only they could control who could become part of their ‘New Brotherhood’. That ancient knowledge was also perverted by the addition of the Jewish Kabbalah, a mixture of alchemy, numerology, gematria and magic, as well as, by the Alumbrados, an emerging occult movement founded by Spanish Marranos. The members were baptized Jews who secretly kept their Telmudic faith. Also, the Khazars, Krypto Jews from near the Black Sea, with their knowledge of Babylonian black magic and money magic perverted the Mysteries. This confusing jumble was added to the existing Egyptian Osiris-Isis-Horus Cult, which was the basis of Freemasonry, which was infiltrated by Adam Weishaupt and his 2000 members, along with the Jesuits and the Vatican. This became the ‘New Illuminati’. Finally, it is about the control of the masses by religion and by the alchemy of social engineering to manipulate the masses through disinformation, brainwashing, and the fear of terror. It uses mass death rituals like 9/11 and public assassination rituals such as that of JFK for shock value. The use of this alchemical social engineering is used in the engineering of consent in order to ‘protect’ the masses from the terror and hopelessness, that the ‘Brotherhood’, itself, has created. This culture of control can also be seen by the use of political correctness, the additional attempts to limit free speech and the creation of hopelessness, mistrust and eugenics by lockdowns, masks, quarantines, and forced use of untested injections. Remember the Nuremberg Code and Never Again? That was a lie, as well. We are living it that lie.

A "compelling indictment of the news media's role in covering up errors and deceptions" (The New York Times Book Review) due to the underlying economics of publishing—from famed scholars Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky. With a new introduction. In this pathbreaking work, Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky show that, contrary to the usual image of the news media as cantankerous, obstinate, and ubiquitous in their search for truth and defense of justice, in their actual practice they defend the economic, social, and political agendas of the privileged groups that dominate domestic society, the state, and the global order. Based on a series of case studies—including the media’s dichotomous treatment of “worthy” versus “unworthy” victims, “legitimizing” and “meaningless” Third World elections, and devastating critiques of media coverage of the U.S. wars against Indochina—Herman and Chomsky draw on decades of criticism and research to propose a Propaganda Model to explain the media’s behavior and performance. Their new introduction updates the Propaganda Model and the earlier case studies, and it discusses several other applications. These include the manner in which the media covered the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement and subsequent Mexican financial meltdown of 1994-1995, the media’s handling of the protests against the World Trade Organization, World Bank, and International Monetary Fund in 1999 and 2000, and the media’s treatment of the chemical industry and its regulation. What emerges from this work is a powerful assessment of how propagandistic the U.S. mass media are, how they systematically fail to live up to their self-image as providers of the kind of information that people need to make sense of the world, and how we can understand their function in a radically new way.

Public relations as described in this volume is, among other things, society’s solution to problems of maladjustment that plague an overcomplex world. All of us, individuals or organizations, depend for survival and growth on adjustment to our publics. Publicist Edward L. Bernays offers here the kind of advice individuals and a variety of organizations sought from him on a professional basis during more than four decades. With such knowledge, every intelligent person can carry on his or her activities more effectively. This book provides know-why as well know-how. Bernays explains the underlying philosophy of public relations and the PR methods and practices to be applied in specific cases. He presents broad approaches and solutions as they were successfully carried out in his long professional career. Public relations is not publicity, press agentry, promotion, advertising, or a bag of tricks, but a continuing process of social integration. It is a field of adjusting private and public interest. Everyone engaged in any public activity, and every student of human behavior and society, will find in this book a challenge and opportunity to further both the public interest and their own interest.

Ethical practice in any professional discipline is guided by age-old philosophical perspectives, but its modern parameters are continually evolving. Ongoing developments in technology, social media and social contexts mean that public relations and its practices in particular are constantly changing, and so are the ethical questions faced by practitioners in the field. Ethical questions and dilemmas are inherent to public relations, and ensuring that practitioners operate ethically is fundamental to both the professionalism and credibility of the field. Engaging and accessible, Ethics in Public Relations offers a lively exploration of the key ethical concerns present in the public relations world today by way of practical tips and guidance to support those in PR and corporate communications. It covers topics including the roles which lies, truth and honesty play; utilitarianism; practising respect and morality; authorship; conflicts of interest; PR and the corporate ethics programme; moonlighting; the impact of whistleblowing and more. Written by a leading academic in the field, this fully updated third edition of Ethics in Public Relations includes an entirely new chapter on the uses of ethics in social media, covering topical issues such as blogger engagement and the relationship between employee social media activity and organizational reputation.

Winner in its first edition of the Best New Undergraduate Textbook by the Professional and Scholarly Publishing Division of the American Association of Publishers (AAP), Kosky, et al is the first text offering an introduction to the major engineering fields, and the engineering design process, with an interdisciplinary case study approach. It introduces the fundamental physical, chemical and material bases for all engineering work and presents the engineering design process using examples and hands-on projects. Organized in two parts to cover both the concepts and practice of engineering: Part I, Minds On, introduces the fundamental physical, chemical and material bases for all engineering work while Part II, Hands On, provides opportunity to do design projects An Engineering Ethics Decision Matrix is introduced in Chapter 1 and used throughout the book to pose ethical challenges and explore ethical decision-making in an engineering context Lists of "Top Engineering Achievements" and "Top Engineering Challenges" help put the material in context and show engineering as a vibrant discipline involved in solving societal problems New to this edition: Additional discussions on what engineers do, and the distinctions between engineers, technicians, and managers (Chapter 1) New coverage of Renewable Energy and Environmental Engineering helps emphasize the emerging interest in Sustainable Engineering New discussions of Six Sigma in the Design section, and expanded material on writing technical reports Re-organized and updated chapters in Part I to more closely align with specific engineering disciplines new end of chapter excercises throughout the book
