| Summary, Etc. |
"A former CIA analyst draws on his experience combatting jihadi terror movements and the history of totalitarian regimes to show how citizens lose touch with reality. Some of history's greatest empires have devolved into genocidal lunacy--often with shocking compliance from their own people. What methods can create this madness? In Manufacturing Delusion, acclaimed conservative commentator and former CIA officer Buck Sexton offers answers. Drawing on his intelligence experience, expertise in crowd psychology, knowledge of propaganda, and research into some of history's darkest totalitarian chapters, he equips you to identify mind control tactics used to form compliant citizens. He explores the eight tactics of mass delusion through examining: how Stalin used Pavlovian mind games to establish absolute control; how Chinese thought reform transformed opposition into terrorized pawns; how Jihadist preachers replace shared humanity with weaponized fear. Using these examples and others, Sexton walks you through a history of controlling regimes and the methods they used to create passive citizens. More importantly, he shows you how some of the early stages of mass delusion have already occurred right here in the United States of America, on issues of public health, gender, and racial justice. An unnerving explanation of how Orwell's 1984 could become reality, Manufacturing Delusion is essential reading for anyone who wants to know how to stand strong when everyone around them is going crazy."--Amazon.
