Horse Manure of a Different Color!

We the People have been hearing some outlandish prevarications as of late. What is the truth with this administration? What is their course and directive? Are they vying for the good of America, or; are they trying to destroy our country and its heritage? The American dismantlement began before Obama was even sworn into office. It began for this administration with the transition team that was selected specifically for this purpose. Campaign promises were only part of the obfuscation that preceded the presidential inauguration. The former failed systems aka the isms such as Socialism, Communism, Marxism, Leninism, Fascism and anything ending with ism that could be connected to a former failed government on this planet, are being resurrected and renewed in the government led by Obama et al.

A major tool of these narcissistic elitists is propaganda. Many of these current selected leaders came from the hallowed halls of academia. One need only check the history preceding the Hitler administration to find the academically degreed participating and inaugurating many of the policies that precipitated the deaths of millions. These policies were planned and experimented with during the late 1800’s. From the Eugenics teaching and experiments that began in Great Britain and America, the forerunners of mass murder formulated their plans. And…propaganda was instrumental in their success.

First, one has to sell the idea of the necessary adjustments that will be needed and implemented to the people. Create a panic, create a crisis, and then never let a good crisis go to waste. Can the Obama administration lie to the people? Are they lying about this health care proposal? In his book, Lies! Lies! Lies! The Psychology of Deceit, Charles V. Ford (1996: 284) says this: A few people, by virtue of their inherent acting skills-called “natural performers” by Ekman (1992)-are exceptionally good at lying; such individuals can thrive in occupations (such as politics or sales) that place a premium on skilled deception. Individuals who have this skill and who, in addition, have severe character dysfunctions (e.g., narcissistic or antisocial personality disorders) have wreaked, and will continue to wreak, great damage on humanity. And Nietzsche (1886/1967, p.204) says, “The powerful always lie.” So, could this be a flood of propaganda coming from the Obama administration? What is propaganda and how is it used? Propaganda can be used very effectively by evil people to accomplish their purpose. We want to come to a better understanding of this strategy, adroitly used by the human instruments of Satan the devil, their real leader. First the definition:

Propaganda Definition:
Propaganda is a specific type of message presentation aimed at serving an agenda. Even if the message conveys true information, it may be partisan and fail to paint a complete and balanced picture. The primary use of the term is in political contexts, and generally refers to efforts sponsored by governments and political parties. Now the goal:
The goal of propaganda is to garner either support or disapproval of a certain position, rather than to simply present the position. The primary target of propaganda is people’s opinions rather than their knowledge. Therefore, the information conveyed is often presented in an emotionally loaded way and with other means of affecting the opinions of people.
In English, the word “propaganda” often carries strong negative (as well as political) connotations, despite being accepted as a general meaning of “advertising” on rare occasions. This is not necessarily so in other languages, and usage of the term may lead to misunderstanding in communications with non-native English speakers. For example, in Brazil and some Spanish language speaking countries, particularly in the Southern Cone, the word “propaganda” usually means the most common manipulation of information—”advertising.”

There are three major types of propaganda:
1. Name calling
2. Glittering generalities.
3. Euphemisms.

1. Name Calling
“Bad names have played a tremendously powerful role in the history of the world and in our own individual development. They have ruined reputations, stirred men and women to outstanding accomplishments, sent others to prison cells, and made men mad enough to enter battle and slaughter their fellowmen. They have been and are applied to other people, groups, gangs, tribes, colleges, political parties, neighborhoods, and states, sections of the country, nations, and races.” (Institute for Propaganda Analysis, 1938)
The name-calling technique links a person, or idea, to a negative symbol. The propagandist who uses this technique hopes that the audience will reject the person or the idea on the basis of the negative symbol, instead of looking at the available evidence.

The most obvious type of name calling involves bad names. For example, consider the following names and epithets hurled at those who oppose the current administration’s agenda, thses include but are not limited to the following; Hitler, Nazi, Terrorist, Right Wing Extremist, Swastika carrying extremists, unruly mobs, etc. etc. There will be more stigmatizing appellations to come.
A more subtle form of name-calling involves words or phrases that are selected because they possess a negative emotional charge. Those who oppose budget cuts may characterize fiscally conservative politicians as “stingy.” Supporters might prefer to describe them as “thrifty.” Both words refer to the same behavior, but they have very different connotations. Other examples of negatively charged words include:

social engineering
radical
cowardly
counter-culture

The name-calling technique was first identified by the Institute for Propaganda Analysis (IPA) in 1938. According to the IPA, we should ask ourselves the following questions when we spot an example of name-calling.
What does the name mean?

Does the idea in question have a legitimate connection with the real meaning of the name?
Is an idea that serves my best interests being dismissed through giving it a name I don’t like?
Leaving the name out of consideration, what are the merits of the idea itself?

If you can effectively attach some identifying epithet (true or not) to an individual, you can work towards generating a negative perception of any individual other then what they truly are. You can effectively neutralize that person, and portray them as evil incarnate, while truly they may be righteous instead.

Propaganda can be used effectively if; the listening audience is lacking intelligence, inclined to mob psychology, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The human mind can be a fertile receptive field under the right conditions. This is why propaganda is so effective.
A hypothetical for instance! Let’s say you are having a conversation with someone who would use propaganda to their advantage. You mention the fact that this particular person you both know is a fine upstanding person. The propagandist injects this thought, Oh! They’re ok, with the exception of only having one bad habit, they tell lies! You walk away from that conversation with doubt! Your mind has just received propaganda. The truth of the matter you find out later, after you begin to question that statement is; this individual would never lie no matter what! But the effect has caused you to doubt. This is how it works! Propaganda is designed to create doubt. Propaganda can be composed of half truths and half lies such as are currently spewing from the Obama administration. The epithets used by Speaker Pelosi et al are only an example of name calling and stigmatizing propaganda. Next we want to look at glittering generalities.
