P. DIDDY DIDN’T UNDERSTAND THIS, THAT’S WHY HIS ASS IS IN PRISON. EARNEST MANN’S: BEING AUTHENTIC PC.1
What 1950s Cartoons, Edward Bernays, and P Diddy Reveal About Modern Manipulation
Hey, it's Earnest Mann—and I need you to really prepare yourself. This episode is for anyone even remotely serious about personal freedom, authenticity, and understanding how psychological manipulation is shaping our world in ways most folks never see coming.
The Hidden Power of 1950s Sketch Reels in Advertising
We kick this one off with a look at some old-school "sketch ad reels"—animated storyboards used by ad agencies back in the 1950s. These weren’t meant for the public, or even clients. They were internal tools designed to pitch ad concepts. But what they reveal is much deeper: how marketing manipulation became a science.
The Influence of Edward Bernays and the Swindling of a Generation
Enter Edward Bernays, the OG of marketing—though I’d say that’s just code for "master swindler." This man practically wrote the playbook on consumer manipulation. His truth? The product doesn’t matter. If the audience likes you, you can sell anything—even holy water to the Pope. That’s where the manipulation begins: not with the product, but with YOU.
What P Diddy’s Situation Really Exposes
Now, here’s where it gets even more real. Diddy’s troubles aren’t just legal—they’re political. When someone with real power and money doesn’t like you, you're done. His denied bail isn’t about guilt—it’s about crossing the wrong VIPs. This story is bigger than one man—it’s about a system that punishes those who don't play by its rules.
Why This Matters to You
Everything around us is soaked in corporate manipulation, from the shows we binge to the products we’re sold. The result? People lose their authenticity, fixating on the fake and forgetting how to be real. And when that happens, society treats humans like commodities—which breeds loneliness, disconnection, and despair. And you know what? That’s exactly how the system wants it.
A Warning, and an Invitation
If you're not awake to how this works, you’re walking blind through a psychological minefield. But if you are awake, you can step out of it. You can reclaim your authenticity. That’s what I’m here to help with—every Monday and Friday.

Transcript
00:00 hello my name is Ernest welcome i want you to absolutely prepare yourself this is something that anyone that is even remotely concerned with their personal freedom needs to hear and hopefully discuss it's about how a truly wicked [ __ ] brew combination of marketing manipulation negative psychology and plain old-fashioned deception can absolutely negatively affect your life and I assume that's something you sure as hell don't want and so with that let's dive right in these cartoons you're seeing are very important and
ere made in the early to late:01:29 potential company they were trying to get an advertising contract with themselves they were basically meant to be seen by the admin who were working on getting potential advertising contracts with the various companies to see if they basically got the concept a company wanted for their project right before they made the full scale hopefully better quality commercial for the admin to show the various companies owners or VPs to determine whether or not they got the advertising correct for the product in other words it was a mockup a trial
02:14 run before the actual finished commercial presentation to the company or manufacturer so now that you know this maybe you're thinking okay what the hell does this have to do with P Diddy and for that matter what does it have to do with me well you know what i'm glad you asked after many years of doing advertising of this type the general conclusion that became known many years later by all of those admen that had long since retired including the OG of all modern advertising men Edward Bernay was this quote "As far as successful sales are
03:04 concerned an ad's aesthetics really don't matter even to a large degree the product itself doesn't even matter the one thing that does matter more than anything else is if people like you everything else is secondary to a product's success because if he likes you you can sell holy water to the damn pope.
s the same today as it was in:04:20 and swindler that he would make an old snake oil salesman like Dr steven Gundry look like a choir boy so what's to be learned by this and how does this again tie in with P diddy well here's your answer despite all of the allegations of what Diddy may or may not have done the truth is it actually has very little to do with the law it has everything to do with one or more VIPs who seriously do not like him and those are very wealthy and or powerful people that he somehow crossed maybe he crossed them several times maybe he had
05:10 forcible sex with a certain girl or boy of some very wealthy and powerful people and therefore his ass is [ __ ] just know this anytime an extremely wealthy man cannot even have a bail arrangement until his trial you know his ass is finished every time he repeatedly tried to you know get bail it was instantaneously and unceremoniously denied again don't be fooled this has absolutely nothing to do with law and or his potential guilt but it does have everything to do with pissing off people you definitely don't want to piss off
06:02 which is what he actually did and they are using him as a poster boy for any others out there like him to demonstrate what will happen if you cross the line this is the absolute truth of what's really going on with P diddy now having said that we can go a little deeper into this whole advertising marketing thing because I'm going to further point out to you exactly what it has to do with you and just a few words about what the hell you need to do to stay out of its clutches the very first thing you need
06:46 to understand is that everything out there is a minefield of manipulation again I'm talking about products and manipulation and what I'm trying to tell you is that if you don't recognize and accept that you can find yourself in financial trouble big time and you can really be [ __ ] and I don't mean in a good way before I close out because I'm running low on time if you want me to basically pick up from where I've left off on this episode or if you have any questions please drop me a line in the
07:25 comments and I will answer them i'm not going to ask you to click the subscribe and notification bell because I'm sure you already know how important that is for my channel to grow so I'm not going to ask you so let's see where was I oh oh yes about getting [ __ ] how could I forget that so the terrible thing that has happened to a hell of a lot of people today and now it's become so common so ubiquous is they have lost the ability to be authentic because they have become fixated on the unauthentic which as sure as [ __ ] and
08:14 taxes causes a whole damn set of problems in and of itself you see according to many sociological studies when people are fixated on the unauthentic their interactions with others change and not in a good way people begin treating others as though they are a commodity an object which can be bought and sold and of course that is not natural it's not human at least if you're not a sociopath and that is the reason why people feel so incredibly isolated and alone because that is exactly what the hell is taking
09:00 place those that are not corporatized who are still actually human simply can't comprehend or effectively deal with the current narrative of our overall life existence for the simple reason that it is a cold calculating and selfcentered philosophy which is at the core of all business which basically means actual human beings don't relate to the values of corporatism and it's because those values are psychopathic now I don't know about you but I think it's pretty damn cool that all of that
09:47 can be figured out by simply watching some 75year-old advertising cartoons don't you so look I know I already told you to please subscribe and hit the notification bell because it makes the channel grow therefore I am not going to say it again thank you so much for sticking around and until next Monday or Friday this is Ernest and I usually always am
