Are you the victims of propaganda and if so to what ends ?

Question

Propaganda (disambiguation).

Propaganda is a concerted set of messages aimed at influencing the opinions or behaviors of large numbers of people. As opposed to impartially providing information, propaganda in its most basic sense presents information in order to influence its audience. Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or gives loaded messages in order to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the cognitive narrative of the subject in the target audience to further a political agenda.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda

Answer 1

Everyone is a victim to propaganda to a degree including me at times no doubt, it's a very complex system as I'm sure you realize.

I certainly appreciate your efforts but better than controlling Pepsi and coke alone is to also control most of the generic brands as well, for those minds searching for truth and not settling with the official story. Infiltration and provocation can soon turn a genuine opposition voice and force into just another form of control. That's called counterintelligence

I do believe strong minds can overcome propaganda and be truly free thinkers but it requires a lot of effort and skepticism, a questioning nature that never settles down.  Not even for wanted, non elite threatening, non conformism. For most people that's too much to ask.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

the propoganda that effects me the most and makes me "suffer" isevery time I go get gas for my van. The idea that drilling will not make the gas prices go down is proposterous but or will take 10 years to affect the price is also crazy but yet the same people saying this think that alternative energies will lower the prices and yet none of them are proven to work or ready to take over anytime.

Why does energy need to be a political debate like everything else that matters to America. I am tired of the pettiness of the left.

Answer 3

We don't have to worry. If somebody tries to use propaganda on us, FOX news will expose them.

Answer 4

no.  I am not a Republican

and I only listen to Hannity , Limbaugh, or their clones for entertainment, not for information.
