Here’s an interesting Q&A in Australia - where ‘Brian Cox’ is “The Expert” on Globall Warming. Note those same old charts, and the clear intention of all involved to ridicule and prevent proper and clear examination of any ‘Evidence’ - or more accurately, the lack of it !

ANd here is the same ‘Brian Cox’ now purporting to be an expert on BREXIT !
Note the way he treats ‘discussion’
.

And here is something Edward Bernays had to say about PROPAGANDA - almost 100 years ago !
.

“…Modern propaganda is a consistent, enduring effort to create or shape events to influence the relations of the public to an enterprise, idea or group.
**This practice of creating circumstances and of creating pictures in the minds of millions of persons is very common. Virtually no important undertaking is now carried on without it, whether the enterprise be be building a cathedral, endowing a university, marketing a moving picture, floating a large bond issue, or electing a president. Sometimes the effect on the public is created by a professional propagandist, sometimes by an amateur deputed to the job. The important thing is that it is universal and continuous (Think Global Warming !) and in its sum total it is regimenting the public mind every bit as much as an army regiments the bodies of its soldiers. **
SO vast are the numbers of minds which can be regimented, and so tenacious are they when regimented, that a group at times offers an irresistible pressure before which legislators, editors and teachers are helpless. The group will cling to its stereotypes, as Walter Lippman calls it, making of those supposedly powerful beings, mere bits of driftwood in the surf….”
Note the similarity between what he had to say 90 odd years ago with the responses of those already indoctrinated in the first of those “Cox” posts !
