I have written many times about the use of propaganda…..I have even shown my readers how to spot propaganda….with the hope that they would take the time to see what is being fed to them by the government and its agent, the MSM……(in case you may have missed my mini-series)……

I reiterate……We Americans need to know and recognize propaganda and know when we are been fed it by our “leaders”……
Despite Western media dominance, the U.S. government wants to stop the world from hearing the “other side” on foreign disputes by “countering” or discrediting those voices, explains Jonathan Marshall.
“[Russia] is conducting an intensive propaganda campaign directed primarily against the US and is employing coordinated psychological, political and economic measures . . . The ultimate object of this campaign is not merely to undermine the prestige of the US and the effectiveness of its national policy but to weaken and divide world opinion to a point where effective opposition to [Russian] designs is no longer attainable by political, economic or military means.”
With that justification, the Truman administration secretly authorized the start of covert operations by the CIA against America’s wartime ally, the USSR, in December 1947. It was one of the seminal decisions that launched the Cold War.

Propaganda is all around us…..we can spot it if only we look at what is and what it hopes to do…….ask questions and find the answers that you seek…..even if they scare you.
Or you could just roll-over and play dead……something we excel at doing.
“They keep you doped up with sex and TV,
Until you think you are so classless, clever and free.
But you are still fucking peasants,
As far as I can see.”
(Working Class Hero–Lennon)
Truer words were never written.
One of the biggest and most obvious cases of governments countering or discrediting dissenting voices is the almost global effort by ruling elites to criminalize any criticism of Islam. It is hard to tell sometimes which is the actual propaganda … the criticisms of the ideology in question or the government attempts to put such criticisms into the one-size-fits-all box called “Criminalizing Hate Speech.”

What’s going on is some kind of inexplicable global insanity that probably has something to do with the science of “Natural Selection” where the planet cleanses itself every few millennia. It is definitely some kind of psychosis for sure — and very wide spread.
I’m into ‘Natural Selection’
My own…grin
LOL

Damm, I forgot the Kurds…..
Brave bastards!
I think I am getting grumpy, considering so many aspects of what is wrong in today’s world… I forget just now who said it, but, what comes to mind right now is this, “Insanity is a sane reaction to an insane world.”
Albert Camus usually had something to say about these matters, and to sum up, I think this says it best,
“He who despairs over an event is a coward, but he who holds hopes for the human condition is a fool.” — Albert Camus
Homo Suicidus is at work….
gigoid, the dubious
I believe it was Einstein….no that was doing the same thing over and over….okay I be stumped…humanity is capable just they choose to be stupid. chuq

I think the American Empire has done a hell of a good job doing that all on its own. No Russia required.
America runs around the world, acting like it owns the joint. It makes a mockery of its own alleged values and pisses off even its best friends in the process. It skull-fucks its own citizenry until they become constantly self-pleasuring, mindless, fucktards willing to fall for any government/corporate bullshit.
As such, most sentient people on Earth either hate, or hold in contempt, the US Empire & the hypocrisy for which it stands. If they aren’t already enemies, they’re only friends because they have to be….either that or they’ve been lobotomized by the endless propaganda.
Me? I’d much rather listen to Propagandhi over Propaganda any day!

When one reads Goebbels one realizes that he was a genius in the use of propaganda…..
Yeah, Orwell & Goebbels have been thoroughly studied by The Powers That Be…so that they can learn & apply their methods.
They are doing a helluva job, huh?
And Propagandhi has totally ruined my ability to spell both propaganda and Gandhi…those punk bastards!
I tried to link to the song, “With Friends Like These, Who The Fuck Needs COINTELPRO?” off their album Today’s Empires Tomorrow’s Ashes but Big Brother Google geo-cock-blocks that album from the reach of Americans. I can see it, but unless you got ISP scrambling software, you can’t.
