Summary

Information Control Strategies explores how societies attempt to manage and manipulate the flow of information, examining both historical methods and modern digital propaganda. The book highlights the techniques used to control narratives and their profound impact on public opinion, policy decisions, and democratic institutions. It reveals that while access to information has grown exponentially, so has the sophistication of methods designed to mislead, such as the strategic deployment of censorship and surveillance. 

 
The book begins by tracing the evolution of information control through history, from ancient censorship to 20th-century propaganda, providing a foundation for understanding current trends. It argues that these strategies consistently exploit psychological vulnerabilities and manipulate social dynamics.

 
Structured in three parts, the book introduces theoretical frameworks, examines specific techniques like fake news and bots, and analyzes real-world case studies. By merging insights from political science, communication studies, and cybersecurity, the book offers a holistic perspective.

 
Ultimately, Information Control Strategies equips readers with the knowledge to critically evaluate information, identify disinformation campaigns, and contribute to a more informed society. It emphasizes the enduring principles of information control in the digital age, providing valuable insights for students, researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding information warfare.

    Original Self - Living with...

    According to Thomas Moore, people today have lost the deep, direct, and vivid sense of what it means to live with passion and originality.  Moore believes that beneath the many thick layers of indoctrination about who we are and who we should be lies an original self, a person who came into this world full of possibility and destined for a particular life. 
The fifty mediations in this collection offer fresh interpretations of living with that original self rather than conformity.  he presents multidimensional portraits of the creative self and different angles from which to tap one's primal emotions and possibilities.  This audio demonstrates what it means to live from the burning essence of the heart, with the creativity that comes from allowing the soul to blossom in its own colors and shapes. 
With his usual grace and insight, Moore counters the prevailing assumptions of the day and offers strikingly unorthodox views on what is virtuous and healthy, opening up possibilities for a renewal of the way we live socially and in our private lives.

    Speaking by the Numbers -...

    It's not just what you say, but how you say it. Good communicators know this, but it's often easier said than done. Teachers, leaders, and speakers are often left bewildered, wondering why the content that was so carefully planned and delivered seems to fall flat with the audience. The art of communication requires more than the transfer of information; it both connects with and engages the hearer. To communicate well, speakers must understand both their audience and themselves. 
 
 
 
Speaking by the Numbers offers a strategy that combines communication principles with Enneagram wisdom to help leaders, pastors, and teachers understand how to convey content in ways that both inspire and connect with their audiences. Using the Enneagram wisdom of triads and stances, communicators can learn insight into the ways that various Enneagram numbers receive and process information. Sean Palmer draws from his extensive experience as a public speaker to develop communication strategies that lead to connection, transformation, and mobilization of audiences. Providing real examples of speeches he has given, Palmer shows how he uses the Enneagram to craft a message that connects with his audience. 
 
 
 
A healthy marriage of Enneagram wisdom and communication skill can help us speak with clarity into the heart of where people live, love, and experience life.

    Here are first hand accounts, published in 1692, of the infamous "Salem Witch Trials". In addition to Mather's interpretation of the Book of Revelations (which he calls "God's last letter to the people of earth"), included are explanations of what motivates Devils, their military organization, how witches may be identified, captured, tried, and executed, and expostulating on the Devil's many devious methods for tricking otherwise intelligent people into questioning the Bible and undermining Christian authority in the new world. The sub-title of the book reads: BEING AN ACCOUNT OF THE TRYALS OF SEVERAL WITCHES LATELY EXECUTED IN NEW-ENGLAND. BY COTTON MATHER, D.D., TO WHICH IS ADDED A FURTHER ACCOUNT OF THE TRYALS OF THE NEW-ENGLAND WITCHES. BY (his father), INCREASE MATHER, D.D.PRESIDENT OF HARVARD COLLEGE. A publisher's introduction for this 1892 edition calls these articles "remarkable monuments of the history of superstition". - Summary by Michele Fry
