i was thinking about this a lot too.

what is the method of malice/ manipulation/ subversion?

to me, the prime method seems to be> become a respected/ trusted source,
speak 98% truth, then slip in a lie, make the truth redundant/ and make them act on the 2%.

e.g, climate change: the climate is changing, it has always changed, toxicity & poison exists, pollution is bad, man is responsible for climate change, taxes will solve everything

then, dont lie about the sun cycles, or the other planets warming, or the fact there is genuine opposition, but simply leave it outside of the realm of debate, as when those things are questioned, the framework will come crashing down, as lies cannot stand up to true facts.

e.g, if man is responsible for the slight increase in climate, why are the other planets warming up at the same rate, and if an ice age/ warm age, is to be feared, what of the mini ice age in 1700 in england, and the medieval warm period?

the answer is of course, they are not to be feared, they are to be welcomed, anthropic global warming is a hoax, by the NWO for the NWO, bundled in with all sorts of other issues, to lend it credibility. news was not honest or honorable about the climate gate scandal, or opposition. in fact, the people who speak out are often assassinated, in character or person. just like the 9/11 opposition and pharma industry experts, or the WMD analysts.

it's a science to these guys.

just leave the truth out of the world established by propaganda, and control the networks by which facts arrive at the public.

chomskys work "manufacturing consent" has it all in the title; people ssit in factory homes, factory products, factory tvs, working in factories. they are being manufactured, as much as they manufacture.

you are what you eat as the saying goes, and people forget they eat information with their ears, and supply it with their mouths.



remain conscious & self aware! allow yourself to be affected by truthspeekers and keep them in your mind, remind and ruminate around them, many times, as truth is rare, and lies are everywhere ! :p

cheers tertius.

remember

All propaganda is a lie, even when it speaks the truth

Goebbels' principles of Propaganda, according to Len Doob :

GOEBBELS' PRINCIPLES OF PROPAGANDA


These principles purport to summarize what made Goebbels tick or fail to tick. They may be thought of as his intellectual legacy. Whether the legacy has been reliably deduced is a methodological question. Whether it is valid is a psychological matter. Whether or when parts of it should be utilized in a democratic society are profound and disturbing problems of a political and ethical nature.



1. Propagandist must have access to intelligence concerning events and public opinion.



2. Propaganda must be planned and executed by only one authority.

a. It must issue all the propaganda directives

b. It must explain propaganda directives to important officials and maintain their morale

c. It must oversee other agencies' activities which have propaganda consequences



3. The propaganda consequences of an action must be considered in planning that action.



4. Propaganda must affect the enemy's policy and action.

a. By suppressing propagandistically desirable material which can provide the enemy with useful intelligence

b. By openly disseminating propaganda whose content or tone causes the enemy to draw the desired conclusions

c. By goading the enemy into revealing vital information about himself

d. By making no reference to a desired enemy activity when any reference would discredit that activity



5. Declassified, operational information must be available to implement a propaganda campaign



6. To be perceived, propaganda must evoke the interest of an audience and must be transmitted through an attention-getting communications medium.



7. Credibility alone must determine whether propaganda output should be true or false.



8. The purpose, content and effectiveness of enemy propaganda; the strength and effects of an expose; and the nature of current propaganda campaigns determine whether enemy propaganda should be ignored or refuted.



9. Credibility, intelligence, and the possible effects of communicating determine whether propaganda materials should be censored.



10. Material from enemy propaganda may be utilized in operations when it helps diminish that enemy's prestige or lends support to the propagandist's own objective.



11. Black rather than white propaganda may be employed when the latter is less credible or produces undesirable effects.



12. Propaganda may be facilitated by leaders with prestige.



13. Propaganda must be carefully timed.

a. The communication must reach the audience ahead of competing propaganda.

b. A propaganda campaign must begin at the optimum moment

c. A propaganda theme must be repeated, but not beyond some point of diminishing effectiveness



14. Propaganda must label events and people with distinctive phrases or slogans.

a. They must evoke desired responses which the audience previously possesses

b. They must be capable of being easily learned

c. They must be utilized again and again, but only in appropriate situations

d. They must be boomerang-proof



15. Propaganda to the home front must prevent the raising of false hopes which can be blasted by future events.



16. Propaganda to the home front must create an optimum anxiety level.

a. Propaganda must reinforce anxiety concerning the consequences of defeat

b. Propaganda must diminish anxiety (other than concerning the consequences of defeat) which is too high and which cannot be reduced by people themselves



17. Propaganda to the home front must diminish the impact of frustration.

a. Inevitable frustrations must be anticipated

b. Inevitable frustrations must be placed in perspective



18. Propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred.



19. Propaganda cannot immediately affect strong counter-tendencies; instead it must offer some form of action or diversion, or both.
