Americans have come to tolerate, embrace and even champion many things that would have horrified their parents' generation—from easy divorce and unrestricted abortion-on-demand to extreme body piercing and teaching homosexuality to grade-schoolers. Does that mean today's Americans are inherently more morally confused and depraved than previous generations? Of course not, says veteran journalist David Kupelian. But they have fallen victim to some of the most stunningly brilliant and compelling marketing campaigns in modern history.
The Marketing of Evil reveals how much of what Americans once almost universally abhorred has been packaged, perfumed, gift-wrapped and sold to them as though it had great value. Highly skilled marketers, playing on our deeply felt national values of fairness, generosity and tolerance, have persuaded us to embrace as enlightened and noble that which all previous generations since America's founding regarded as grossly self-destructive—in a word, evil.
In this groundbreaking and meticulously researched book, Kupelian peels back the veil of marketing-induced deception to reveal exactly when, where, how, and especially why Americans bought into the lies that now threaten the future of the country.
For example, few of us realize that the widely revered father of the "sexual revolution" has been irrefutably exposed as a full-fledged sexual psychopath who encouraged pedophilia. Or that giant corporations voraciously competing for America's $150 billion teen market routinely infiltrate young people's social groups to find out how better to lead children into ever more debauched forms of "authentic self-expression."
Likewise, most of us mistakenly believe the "abortion rights" and "gay rights" movements were spontaneous, grassroots uprisings of neglected or persecuted minorities wanting to breathe free. Few people realize America was actually "sold" on abortion thanks to an audacious public relations campaign that relied on fantastic lies and fabrications. Or that the "gay rights" movement—which transformed America's former view of homosexuals as self-destructive human beings into their current status as victims and cultural heroes—faithfully followed an in-depth, phased plan laid out by professional Harvard-trained marketers.
No quarter is given in this riveting, insightful exploration of how lies, both subtle and outrageous, are packaged as truth. From the federal government to the public school system to the news media to the hidden creators of "youth culture," nothing is exempt from the thousand-watt spotlight of Kupelian's journalistic inquiry.
In the end, The Marketing of Evil is an up-close, modern-day look at what is traditionally known as "tempation"—the art and science of making evil look good.

Summary: Must Read!!!
Comment: Finally, someone has seen fit to be honest with the American public about the manipulations we are fed on a daily basis.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Squandered Opportunity
Comment: Much of what David Kupelian writes about in "The Marketing of Evil" is deeply troubling. Unfortunately, the book suffers from the same basic problems as the news stories on Mr. Kupelian's website WorldNetDaily: poor writing and an excess of "spin". His basic premises may be valid, but the way he puts forth his arguments are completely over-the-top.
He also suffers from the delusion that everyone who believes in traditional Judeo-Christian morality also agrees 100% with the Republican agenda when it comes to other issues. There are many religious believers out there who are conservative on sexual morality but liberal on things like the environment, the Middle East, social justice, multiculturalism, etc.
It's really too bad that this book wasn't better written, as its message is an important one for people to hear.

Summary: Great Book !
Comment: Isn't life so much easier when we can avoid the pitfalls and stay clear of brain fog? This book is a lighthouse in the mist! Why especially so for mothers and caregivers serving as mothers? They are the starting point for each life that comes into the world. How wonderful to give that new life a solid light to follow and a strong, solid rock to walk on so they can spend their time on this earth in the pursuit of happiness and freedom! We are grateful for the time and research and courage this author lives to bring us this work.

Summary: Like it or not, it is all true
Comment: I knew when I read this it was true, as it further explained things I questioned growing up. Many condemn the author, I praise him for having the guts to speak the truth. I bought 5 copies, passed them out, got wow reviews and they passed the books on. I felt in my heart that more needed to understand the truth. And when you get done with this book, try 'brotherhood of darkness', an eye opener that explains a lot of what is taking place.
