Whenever war is being waged, the governments and media organizations around the world oil up their propaganda machines. Controlling the information received by the people helps them to control the opinions of the people as well. This is not always done through television and newspapers, as any counter terrorism fiction novel will suffice.
While the earliest examples of propaganda were actually spread during the age of Rome, modern propaganda included everything from fliers dropped by airplanes to radio broadcasts from top world leaders. Adolph Hitler recognized and utilized the power of radio in order to spread the message of the Nazi Party. Many Germans sat huddled around their radios hanging on to his every word.
Hitler learned how to use movies and television to his advantage, and this enabled him to reach a much larger audience than had ever been possible. He was already known for giving animated and emotional speeches, but with radio he was able to be heard by those who would have never been able to see him. He could stir a crowd emotionally, and turn them to his way of thinking.
By staging a fire and blaming it on a young Jewish man, Hitler was able to stir his country into a fury of military might. It created a reason for his attack on Poland, and eventually came to be known as World War II. Activists now call this type of attack a false flag, and there are many people all over the world wary of these staged events.
The American media machine utilized this same tactic in order to get a draft for the war in Vietnam. While this was not an official false flag attack, as no attack actually took place at all, it was the first time the media was used to fool the public. The capsized boat which was reported to be an American naval vessel was actually a Vietnamese fishing boat.
It is also true, however, that many Americans learned from that experience, and claim that the attacks on the World Trade Center were also a False Flag. A great deal of evidence has been presented to support that argument. However, a wary investigator must also acknowledge that the opposition may also provide erroneous information, as governments do love to control the opposition.
An artful practice of propaganda means that the social divisions created in any debate can be utilized to keep people arguing amongst themselves, thus allowing the powers that be to do as they wish. While groups like They Are Change may contain individuals who truly wish to see justice done on a weary planet, these groups can also be used by propagandists. Controlled opposition keeps people separate and at each other like lions, diverting attention from those who are truly responsible.
With research and a discerning mind, one generally discovers that the truth almost always lies somewhere in the middle of a debate. One remains discerning by keeping a grain of salt whenever reading anything; whether it be a book, newspaper article, or blog. If one can learn to ask who benefits from a situation, and then follow the trail of money to where it leads, then they can maintain objectivity necessary to recognize the truth.
