Propaganda. A message that is aimed at a specific audience that will try to change their thinking to that of the person releasing such propaganda. It will often contain disinformation to promote a certain view point in politics.

Propaganda is often used as 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"


Categories

Alfred and Elizabeth Lee classified seven major categories of propaganda:

(i) name-calling, Saying someone is a racist, or a liar or wife beater or have ties to Russia or is a communist etc.

(ii) Glittering generalities, "Save our democracy", "Make America great"

(vii) Bandwagon. Like "the wave", "everybody is doing it", "don't be left behind", "the polls show that".

These are appeals to feelings rather than to reason.

Legality

Propaganda is legal where ever there is free speech but it should not be allowed to be done by the government in a constitutional republic because it could hinder or obstruct or drown out the free speech of the people.


Title 10 U.S.C. 2241a - Prohibition on use of funds for publicity or propaganda purposes within the United States.

Anti-Propaganda Act of 1940 or Voorhis Anti-Propaganda Act(Public law: Pub. L. 76–870; took effect January 14, 1941) is a United States statute requiring the registration of organizations subject to foreign control while accomplishing activities in the United States. Foreigners do not have constitutionally protected rights so the government may interfere with their natural free speech and of course corporations have no natural rights.

This Anti-Propaganda Act was preceded by the McCormack Act of 1938[1] and the Hatch Act of 1939[2] and be substantiated with passing of the Alien Registration Act or aka. Smith Act of 1940.

The Alien Registration Act (June 28, 1940), popularly known as the Smith Act, 76th United States Congress(Pub. L. 76–670; Title 18 U.S.C. § 2385), broadly written, forbade any attempts to “advocate, abet, advise, or teach” the violent destruction of the U.S. government. Again this was about foreign aliens and it set criminal penalties for advocating the overthrow of the U.S. government by force or violence, and required all non-citizen adult residents to register with the federal government.

In 1948 the national executive leaders of the U.S. Communist Party were charged with violating the Smith Act.

The US Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948, popularly referred to as the “Smith-Mundt Act,” specifies the terms in which the U.S. government can engage in "public diplomacy". The phrase "public diplomacy" can become a euphemism for "propaganda".

Prosecution slowed when a series of U.S. Supreme Court decisions in 1957 reversed a number of convictions under the Act as being unconstitutional. The law has been amended several times and was not ruled unconstitutional.

The U.S. International Broadcasting Act of 1994, which authorizes the agency to create programs for foreign audiences may allow propaganda. The Agency is not authorized to begin broadcasting or to create programming for audiences in the United States but I am not sure how the propaganda allowed abroad may not come back to the United States.

Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948, also known as the Smith-Mundt Act.

Besides signing the Hatch Act Modernization Act of 2012 President Barack Obama signed National Defense Authorization Act in 2013. These amendments did not repeal the Smith-Mundt Act, but rather lifted some restrictions on the domestic dissemination of government-funded media. The amendment made it possible for some materials created by the U.S. Agency for Global Media, the nation’s foreign broadcasting agency, to be disseminated in the U.S.

They will tell you that Under the new law, it is still against the law for government-funded media to create programming and market their content to U.S. audiences.

The government cannot legalizing propaganda for US citizens without violating the constitution.

Private media and politicians can engage in propaganda. The government enlisting Twitter, Facebook, Google or any corporate media is a violation of the constitution and the definition of fascism.



Twitter files, etc. Mm




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."[3]

YouTube
Psywar: Metanoia Films The history of propaganda ~99 min

"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."[4]

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."[5]

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?
