I have been writing for many years that the government and the media have been using propaganda techniques to indoctrinate the American public…..both in the domestic field as well as the international.

I offer up a couple of my posts so that you can use them to establish if it is propaganda or not…..

Both of those posts have good sources for my reader to use to see if they are being played…..hint….YOU ARE!

I bring all this up because I saw a good article about the propaganda being used to sell us, the American public, their paradigm on the war in Syria.

Western propaganda against countries targeted for “regime change” can be especially insidious because mainstream journalists abandon skepticism and go with the flow, such as the case of Syrian “torture” photos, writes Rick Sterling.

There has been a pattern of sensational but untrue reports that lead to public acceptance of U.S. and Western military intervention in countries around the world.

For instance, in Gulf War 1 (1990-91), there were reports of Iraqi troops stealing incubators from Kuwait, leaving babies to die on the cold floor. Relying on the testimony of a Red Crescent doctor, Amnesty Interenational ‘verified’ the false claims.

Ever wonder why the press does not have the access they did back during the Vietnam War?

This is why…..they could not control the message getting out to the American public…..and we see how that played out in the 70’s…..now don’t we?
