Thus, I have decided to start this blog.
My Background: I have studied propaganda and passive control techniques of and on since the summer of 1999. During that time, we have entered into two wars, and are currently in the midst of an economic crisis. Both of which provide ample opprotunity to observe the techniques that seek subtle swaying of public opinion that a propaganda artist hopes to achieve.
While the established methods of propaganda are available anywhere on the internet, I have yet to find a website dedicated to demonstrating these techniques in action, in real time.
This is my goal.
I have a saying I like to use to aid the targets of propaganda to identify these tactics for what they really are: "Question the motives more than the message"
If you attempt to look at why a message was conveyed, instead of what the message entails, you will have a better idea of what is really going on, and the propaganda artist's intents.
I will be trying to remain completely apolitical, analyzing press releases and tactics used by both major political parties. I hope to remain as impartial as possible...
Well, lets let the ride begin!
