Answer 3

Key characteristics are manipulated ie Patriotism, Nationalism, Religion etc. Something that already has energy in it, is used and associated with getting mass to do what you want them to do.

Many means are used, mainly today is media. Key ideas/words repeated over and over again, are then accepted as facts. Once mass becomes incapable for thinking for themselves, it becomes a mere formality. Now you are blind sheep. If it took days now it takes hours. Key examples are 'Iraq war' and politics in the US. Ignorance is bliss!

Why sell them c**p if they are dying to eat it themselves!

“The great masses of people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one. Especially if it is repeated over and over”

~ (Adolph Hitler)

But the most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly and with unflagging attention. It must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over. Here, as so often in this world, persistence is the first and most important requirement for success.

~ (Adolf Hitler) – War propaganda (Mein Kampf)

If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.

~ (Joseph Goebbels) – n**i Propaganda Minister

Answer 4

In this country as in most propagated societies it is the media.

People trust their TV's (bad move) so if you can control what is reported on TV radio and newspapers you have people sold.

It is done the way it has always been done throughout history, with fear mongering. You scare the people into unneccesary wars by creating false flag operations. You claim that you are either with us or against us implying that to question your government you are unpatriotic then close in on the free society, taking away rights and denouncing anyone  that doesnt not follow the agenda set forth.

These were the tactics of such great oppressors such as stalin , hitler and now Bush.
