I pulled out my copy of “Propagandas” (note: he mentions at the very outset that it should be plural, even though it wasn’t at least in my copy), and much of it is directly relevant to Obama’s reelection. I think conservative thinkers need to get it, and study it carefully. I was going to post some lengthy excerpts, but have chosen instead to conserve my energy for another project, that of figuring how NOT to be wound up.
Now I’m going to go read National Geographic simply because I enjoy the pictures.
Seriously, though: it’s all there. Propaganda needs to be a word in regular use, because it IS in regular use.
We have a President who seemingly has worn a ring dedicated to the Koran most of his adult life.
His father, according to our best guess, was a dedicated Communists revolutionary.
His advisor, Valerie Jarrett, is apparently even now telling the Iranians they can have nukes, a decision reached with no Congressional consultation, or national security clearance for her.
All of this is only possible with long term effective political AND social propaganda. Read the book.
