WOW!!!!!! Excellent!

I had no idea Bernays was associated with Tavistock.

This small island seems to be at the center of evil in this world.

And I recall that you referred to shaping public opinion through shock ...

Quote: "[re H G Wells’ ”The War of the Worlds” (1938)] … of greater importance, it was to set the stage for the coming [planned] war in Europe in which "news broadcasts" would play a crucial role in information gathering and dissemination as an established source of reliable information, as well as a forum for directing public opinion.”

and I am looking forward to any mention and elaboration in your series of the role of Kurt Lewin (of course any one treatise can never cover all spots):

Quote: “Dr. Kurt Lewin was its [Tavistock's] chief theoretician who specialized in the teaching and application of topological psychology, which was and remains the most advanced method of behavior modification.”
