Propaganda Strikes Deep

As the old song says, ”Propaganda strikes deep. Into your mind it will creep….” Oh, wait! That’s “paranoia”. But actually propaganda leads to paranoia—both for the people who are lied to and for the liars. You can see it any day on FOX TV or hear it on AM radio talk shows.

Either the propagandists start to believe their own nonsense, or they gradually start to get worried that their lies will be exposed. Or maybe both.

Meanwhile I’m wondering just how many highly paid PR consultants and others are being employed to come up with the weird accusations and ridiculous catch-phases that propagandists use to to short-circuit the thinking process of their listeners.

Mucho dinero must be flowing to sustain that steady stream of doublespeak, slurs, distortions and outright lies. That stuff doesn’t happen accidentally. Nobody that crazy becomes a highly paid TV personality or best-selling author.

So here is a video on the latest propaganda labels being applied to President Obama and his programs. It would be funny—if it were not for the paranoia that these professional propagandists are able to stir up in those who are incapable of or unwilling to think logically. Those who are already paranoid, of course, are easy prey for them.
