<p>I've been studying propaganda and mind control techniques for a long period of time through use of meditation, shamanistic ritual techniques and martial arts. I'm interested in learning how I can always make fully informed decisions, unclouded by the fog of propaganda. I see Internet Marketing as a form of propaganda. If done correctly, the "sell" should be subtle and seamlessly integrated into the content of a message.
My primary question is this...how are propaganda and hypnosis being used by today's top Internet marketers to control people's minds? The question can further be framed like this: how can I convince you to buy what I have for sale? How can I convince you that you _need_ my product?
One technique of mind control is planting images that are subliminally registered by the advertisers. Some inevitably will be missed during their journey, but I think you can see the point of his hypnosis experiment. The advertisers "freely" chose to develop an advertising campaign _exactly_ as he had written it before hand. Amazing stuff. You can find more Derren Brown videos on Youtube.
Gentle persuasion is being used addressed to an underlying motivation and desire. Let's see if this tool works.
Advertising can promote healthy communities, successful business, needed products, and marketers inevitably will be drawn toward learning more about how other advertisers are using hypnosis to take advantage of consumers and to make money in today's depressed economy. To take full advantage of the work of scientists, psychiatrists, and government propagandists in your marketing work, you'll need sources of information keeping you up to date on the latest mind control techniques and propagandistic machinations at work in the marketplace. This is intense work already being done to _control_ you without your consent. Do you want to know how it is accomplished? How subliminal advertising works to influence your behavior every day?
