How the Secrets of Propaganda funnel works
The whole page is an autoplaying video under a headline built from two claims of forbidden knowledge: “The Mind Control Secrets That Manipulated Millions… (And How You Can Ethically Use ‘Propaganda’ To Get Rich!)”, labelled “Stolen science”. There is nothing else to read.
The censorship deadline is fake. A banner warns that the video “may be pulled down as soon as September 24th”. The date comes from the page’s own script, which takes today’s date and adds one day, so every visitor on every day is told the video disappears tomorrow.
The offer is hidden inside the video. Until it has played, the page shows no offer, price or button, so the fake deadline’s only job is to make people watch now. The ads ran from 4 December 2025 to 19 January 2026, and the one captured here is a video ad that opens on “you can’t get clients because you don’t have proof” and promises a 45-minute training. What the video sells is not captured.
Funnel canvas — drag to pan, scroll or use the buttons to zoom. Each node links to that step's page.
The ad opens on the reader's objection, that they can't get clients without proof, and calls that belief "engineered". A short history of Freud, Edward Bernays and "a hidden lineage of marketers" makes the training sound like forbidden knowledge before the click.
A banner says the video "may be pulled down as soon as September 24th". The page's own script takes today's date and adds one day, so every visitor on every day is told it goes tomorrow.

The page is only a video
Two claims of forbidden knowledge ("stolen science", censorship) sit over an autoplaying video, and no offer, price or button shows until it has played. The only thing to do is watch.
What the video sells was not captured. The page gives nothing else to act on, so the fake deadline only has to get people to press play.

On a computer this funnel opens as a canvas: every page at full length, side by side, with the arrows between them and the moves that make it work. A phone screen can't hold it, so here it's a list.
