propaganda tells the people how do think and act so they follow it. they live not knowing any other right way. once they become educated and start thinking themselves that is when rebellions start up. but with computers and other technology they can control all the info that the people receive allowing only what they want to get through much like china or north korea

Propaganda. Where's the question? This is just untrue.

Son, I was in a BDE HQ during the battle of Falluja and know for a fact that 'banned weapons' were not used - by our side.  In fact those DVDs you mention are hilarious because all they do is demonstrate just how gullible you are.  (Take a class in basic physics or chemistry then watch them and laugh.)\n\nWhy don't you stop mindlessly believing the propaganda your government gives you and face facts?

Propaganda is to advocate the views and interests of those advocating them. It may be or may not be a lie. It's a point of view. In most cases, the people advocating truly believe in it.\n\nOn the other hand, lie is factual, regardless the point of view. Also, lie is intentional. People who lie know that in their own hearts, but not telling. For other people, many times, it is hard to know if it is a lie immediately. But history can tell.

I did try to discuss this topic with "Ouzian" in IM, to no avail.  Her claims of worries that her posts will be deleted show her persistence, fortitude, and concern.  ( I commend you for these projections of qualities, but)  The obvious glaring of extreme need to spread this word, this message, is shown by her >>(assumption based on avatar), other postings regarding the same subject.  It is also very clear that what her expressions convey in regards to this matter, are sprinkled with her fears.  And I also feel that based upon her posts, her links, and her blog information, that she wishes and intends to spread these fears.  It is clear, this fear does, as she does mention, help rule, and control.  (And I do agree with this).  There are many ways to control, or govern, a mass of people, and, some of these ways to govern have proven to be effective, and some very ineffective. (In regards to the best way for ALL social situations which we as a human race on earth face today-and there are many)  But the mystery truly is not what lies beneath Ouzians belief, and its possibility of validity, not at all!  The real mystery is why then does she not wish to participate in discussions in IM, or through other modes of correspondence with others, like myself, who show EFFORT in wishes to participate, and listen, in the direct concern towards her messages of understanding or beliefs, that could possibly lead to other followers of her belief, and help her cause?   (Persistence, fortitude and concern?)  To me this lack of communication shows contradiction in motive, shows lack of intitiative, NO EFFORT, and therefore, PROVES that some great "efforts" without real ACTION, are, like time does prove some things to be, ineffective, and, it is like trying to climb to the top of a pole that is covered in grease. (wasted energy).  I have many, many opinions in regards to what is going on in the world today, and have even been very expressive of these opinions to many people, through many modes of expression, and have always welcomed any open discussion to help people see the good, and bad, in different ways of having things work, globally.  (Because obviously, some things just don't work-that pole thing again.)   At this stage of the game, the most important thing is to keep the big-picture in mind, the long-haul.  Strengths and Weaknesses,  Problems and Solutions.   So, please help me understand then, Ouzian, why do you run so very, very fast, but insist on doing so by running in place?  Ineffective.  My real question to YOUR question, since I have already answered, and I will find it fair that YOU do not breach MY allowance in expression on the matter which you brought forth, in public forum, and at hand, now being met with discussion, as you wish-is that true mystery- Why did you even bother to post this?

yeah, I heard that too amazingly enough! I'm starting to think that it is not such propaganda! My husband works inintelligence, and he has started asking me to stay as clothed at all times as possible, and to tak my showers in a bathing suit... I asked him why but he said if he told me he would have to kill me.

What do you feel strongly about, thats what the best persuasive speechs are about, if you care abotu somethign it won't be hard for you to try to persuade sombody for 5-8 minutes, do a little research to have some facts behind what you say, and you should be fine.\n\nYou may even try to check out some hot political topics - immigration is huge right now, the iraq war, and persuade for what you feel.  Death penalty has been done a million times, but thats always an idea

Try this, but beware, too much conspiracy theory can rot your brain. Personally, I think it's a load of crap.

Yes I agree with all that, I can't see much to discuss there? unless you are looking for an alternative like Communism?\nI don't think that would go down very well on this forum!\nWhy not readdress your question and ask for , or even suggest alternatives? Good luck with that, I follow your drift but it doesn't really leave much scope for discussion.

Any official announcement, release, or utterance of any governmental official made under the direction of the Federal Government should be considered propaganda and should be critically analyzed and taken with a grain of salt.\n\nIt's not just the Bush administration.  The Clinton Administration and all previous administrations stretching back to George Washington's terms.  Government is about exerting control over the people, not about telling the truth, though, at times, the truth is useful in controlling the people.\n\nJust be glad that our government allows us the freedom to write things like I just di.... akk!!

What in the hell are you claiming,that our U.S.treasury printing presses are faster,bigger or what backs it up is our advanced war machine and two million soldier's if you think this is true, you have a hard lesson to learn! American propaganda is that we are number one, while other countries like China and Korea laugh at us! We lost the war in Korea,Vietnam,Sr's gulf war was a no count and things are not looking to rosy in Iraq! USA being a super power is a myth in only morons minds! I was a volunteer at the end of Vietnam so don,t feed me ant sh-- about cop-out or sell-out!!! Bunch of you have paper hats or in Texas all hat and no cattle!

Propaganda - Anytime you cut and clip pieces of things together in a way that gives your position credibility and edit out the clips that are damaging to your position that is propaganda.\n\nMichael Moore is a great "Film Editor" however he is a horrible human being.

I have been reading your questions on ask the planet as they come along during the day. You are really passionate about these issuse. I saw the report and I must say I see your point. Its like that movie, Vendetta with natalie portman. Did you watch it. Its very similar to what is happening right now. One person's terrorists is another person's hero. Im never quick to believe everything that is broadcasted from the American media. They are more about propoganda than truth. What can we do. American said they prefer Bush by voting him back in power. And he has successfully managed to manipulate you through the media. What the rest of the world is still asking... Where are the weapons of mass destruction?

Its very good that you have your own mind and not just follow whats in the local newspaper or tv shows. Educated people think they know all about everything in current events but sometimes they are just reading into something put there just for that reason, so they have something to believe. Propaganda is all around you man tv paper even in conversations with other people. We will never know the true agenda of the government or big business. Who knows if he is real or not ?Not me

Jack, dude, c'mon.  If you want people to take your viewpoint seriously, you have GOT to learn how to spell simple sight words correctly.  I've seen you spell "their" as "there" on like 3 or 4 different posts!  Step up your game.
