Propaganda

Propaganda: Information or ideas methodically spread to promote or injure a cause...(Dictionary) Information is propaganda-how it's used is the question.

May I respectfully suggest the following:

A History of the German Occupation, 1940-44 by David Pryce-Jones New York Holt, Rinehart & Winston 1981 ISBN: 0-03-045621-5

While the book itself may not answer all of your questions, the bibliography will certainly lead you in the direction you desire.

Adolf Hitler was the individual who transformed the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis) in the 1920s, using propaganda to promote expansionism and Antisemitism. Under his leadership, the party's ideology shifted towards extreme nationalism, racism, and territorial expansion.

Comparison propaganda is a technique used to influence attitudes or opinions by comparing the qualities of one item, person, or concept to another. It often involves highlighting the positive aspects of a preferred option while pointing out the negative aspects of a competitor. This type of propaganda aims to sway individuals towards a particular viewpoint or decision.

Bandwagon propaganda appeals to the audience by suggesting that everyone else is already on board with the idea or product, creating a sense of peer pressure to conform. This technique aims to make individuals feel left out or inferior if they do not join the majority or follow the crowd.

Yes, it is. "Yes my counrtymen, . . . I am clearly of opinion it is your interest to adopt it [the Constitution]. I am convinced that this is the safest course for your liberty, your dignity, and your happiness. "

Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist "Number 1"

paul reverie had an engraving about the Boston massacre.

he used propaganda to convince the people that he civilians were defensless.

1. a citizen has his back turned

2. there is a puppy in front of the civilians symbolizing their helplessness.

3. a church behind the battle showing that maybe the soldiers had no regard for religon or church. since they killed people in the presence of a church building.

4. A a building behing the soldiers it says "butchers market" is right above the soldiers referring that it was a slaugter.

it all tries to give the idea that the soldiers committed a haneous crime.

It is considered propaganda because when it was sculpted in 1918 it was alleged to have been designed to evoke sympathy for the alliance and hatred of the Germans who allegedly crucified a Canadian soldier to a barn door after the second battle of Ypres in 1914. Newer evidence points to the fact that the incident could very well have taken place.

actually no because Joseph Stalin even though was a dictator he didn't have enough money to give the workers three dollars a day and pay over 3000 dollars just to start and buy workers to do the propaganda for him because to me it sounds like its very easer to do popagandar but Stalin is just stalin from his work

This is a type of propaganda that promises a reward in exchange for a set goal.

This type of propoganda was used by the United States during the Afghan war. A number of U.S. aircraft made low-flying passes over civilian towns dropping pamphlets and leaflets offering a reward for high-value personnel targets (such as Osama bin Laden). These aircraft jammed local radio stations in the area broadcasting the message also.

The number of "propaganda tapes" made by McCain and other Prisoners of War has been disputed almost from the time they were first heard.

Remember, the North Vietnamese didn't exactly send cassette tapes to the USA news media. The North Vietnamese Government broadcasted a huge quantity of programs using both AM radio (like we have in the USA) and over Short Wave (International Broadcasting).

Almost all of those broadcasts were intercepted by the Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS) which was and is an overt activity that is part of the CIA. Other recordings were intercepted by the various Military Intelligence organizations, which sent the taped broadcasts to the National Security Agency (NSA).

The NSA has not released any of their tapes, indeed they have not admitted that they still possess the tapes. Their story is that the tapes were erased some 30 years ago.

The FBIS tapes are obtainable from the National Archives, which has a duplication service and will copy the tapes over to CDROMs in .wav format. They do this for people who want to obtain copies of the Nixon, Johnson and Kennedy secret taping of Oval Office conversations. However, you have to wade through hundreds of thousands of hours of scratchy, low-fidelity and static filled tapes; an impossible task for the casual inquirer.

The Archives are not admitting that the FBIS tapes are "searchable" by the name of the individual making the broadcast. Perhaps this is true, perhaps is it not.

I know for a fact that there exist tapes of Prisoners of War who made statements which were broadcast. The Department of Defense POW/MIA Affairs office has their copy. Whether they ever see the light of day, only time will tell -- and that will be long after you and I are dead and gone.

Now, having said all of that background, you absolutely MUST understand that prisoners such as Captain McCain were tortured incessantly. Every day in their lives brought some type of physical injury, torture and pain and suffering. This was the North Vietnamese way of POW treatment. McCain is only one of many POW's who were tortured and forced to make statements at odds with the US Government's position at the time vis a vis the Vietnam War.

Remember that some anti-war protestors went to North Vietnam and made broadcasts of their own free will. Jane Fnda is one of those. Almost all Vietnam Veterans consider such voluntary acts to be treasonous.

It is an established fact that some POW's in the custody of the North Vietnamese acted in a less than honorable manner. Matter of fact, McCain was one of several officers who attempted to press charges against several unnamed individuals whom he observed acting in a manner which was injurious to the other POWs. The President and Secretary of Defense quashed all of those attempts at prosecution. They cited the public spectacle of courts martial which happened after the Korean War POW's were returned by the North Koreans (who also brutally tortured the POWs).

it convinced people to join the army and it convinced people, women, to take jobs in factories. It promoted the sale of war bonds with a catchy solgan, "Keep 'em flying Buy War Bonds." They encouraged people to collect scrap metal to be made into parts for supplies for our tanks... and so on. As you probably can tell these are some of the most common examples.
