Propaganda
prop·a·gan·da is a derogatory term describing "information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view."
The term is further defined as "the dissemination of propaganda as a political strategy."
- "The party's leaders believed that a long period of education and propaganda would be necessary"
Originally the term came from "a committee of cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church responsible for foreign missions, founded in 1622 by Pope Gregory XV."[1]
"PSYOPS or Psychological Operations: Planned operations to convey selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence their emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of foreign governments, organizations, groups, and individuals. The purpose of psychological operations is to induce or reinforce foreign attitudes and behavior favorable to the originator's objectives. Also called PSYOP."[2]
The video shared here is essentially propaganda because:
- "Propaganda is a form of communication aimed towards influencing the attitude of a population toward some cause or position."[3]
We are confronted with an age old question of what is the truth?
The video:
- Presents evidence of propaganda to justify war in the minds of the people who must give up their sons and even their daughters.
- It talks about the coup by Federalists like Hamilton over the Articles of Confederation.
- It mentions the form of government established by the five Indian nations as if there had been no better system ever established.
- Loyalty to country or nation, institutions or nationalism, family, individual or something not mentioned righteousness.
- Democracy limited by Jefferson to protect the property owner or democracy that guarantees equality but does not define how that equality is confirmed.
- What seems unaddressed is it done by force or another way?
- Democratic Economic equality?
- Consumerism and the focus on a system of things instead of love of one another.
- Basically they admit there will always be propaganda which is the result of the right of free speech among imperfect people.
That imperfection can only be understood by virtuous people. So who really presents the real solution?
