For contact and disclosure activists, a basic understanding of social control by ruling class organizations is necessary if we are to challenge the status quo and end what has been called, “the UFO truth embargo.” I recommend this brilliant four-part BBC series, now available as a YouTube presentation. I believe that the techniques described in this documentary have relevance to the UFO coverup. Consumerism with its mass fascination of acquiring “more stuff” is a constant source of distraction from other issues. “The Century of Self” shows how a distracted public can become in the narrator’s words “endless happiness machines” and thereby incapable of critical thinking. And critical thinking is required to understand and oppose the authorities’ 80-year de facto program of ridiculing UFO witnesses and denying the reality and importance of what are now called unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP).
