Part 3 of this series describes some of the ways in which propaganda is used in general throughout our society. Watch out for those wonderful “alternative facts”!
Propaganda in modern times
has become both easier and harder to detect. It’s easier to detect in the sense that there are more places to get information and it’s easier to fact check the claims of the MSM (Mainstream Media) by going to the original report and source and seeing for yourself. It’s harder to detect in that people are busy and distracted, and all too often forget that a giant conglomerate of 6 mega multinational corporations owns 85-90% of the world’s media, and thus the same lie can be promulgated through thousands of avenues, outlets and channels – with some people falsely believing it’s all coming from different sources and representing different opinions. Today’s propaganda is cleverly disguised. And … you know something is horribly wrong when the spokeswoman (Kellyanne Conway) of the “anti-establishment” Trump team claims her team was giving alternative facts. How bad are things when the MSM is the one to correct somebody about truth, lies and the definition of the word “fact”!!
This is part 3 of a series (click here for part 1, part 2 and part 4). Below are 10 pieces of propaganda in general society that often get bandied around without being challenged – and which fool a lot of people.
Modern Day Propaganda in Society
1. Russia hacked the US 2016 election. False. This one smelt right out of the gate. Many in the alternative media have seen through the propaganda for a long time. It was always too convenient for the Clintons, the Democrats and other vested interests to blame the Russians rather than the unpopularity of Hillary, Corruption Queen. The rumor has persisted a long time, probably as a way for the Deep State to blackmail Trump and hold something over him so he will do their bidding, as he did by firing 59 tomahawk missiles into Iraq, or no sorry, Syria – it can be so hard to remember which country we are bombing, especially when eating delicious chocolate cake.
Trump admitted on several occasions that the whole affair has been hanging over him and affecting his ability to do his job as president. The whole story is pure propaganda for many reasons. Putin has stated that dark suits run the US, not the puppet president, so it matters little who actually resides in the White House. Often the people shouting out the accusations are actually the guilty ones trying to deflect attention away from their own crimes; put your finger on the map and try to find a place where the US has not interfered in another nation’s elections! Now, thanks to fantastic independent journalism by Project Veritas, we have video footage of CNN supervising producer John Bonifield admitting that the Russian hacking narrative is “bullshit”, that they have “no real proof” and that it was done purely to garner higher ratings.
2. The left and right parties on the political spectrum offer real diversity and choice. Blatantly untrue. There’s no choice when the candidates all stand together on the really important issues, such as who determines the creation and issuance of money, how much control the Government gets over the people and how much secrecy the State grants itself to shroud its advanced black military projects. Candidates that challenge the establishment in truly radical ways such as these (and others), and who rock the foundation by questioning its core constructs, are sidelined and not allowed to go further. The debate is kept within a controlled, manageable spectrum which is acceptable to the NWO conspirators, but which, frustratingly, means that real change will never occur.
3. Your vote counts. False in more ways than one. A famous quote attributed to Stalin is that “it matters not who casts the vote, but who counts the vote”. Vote rigging is rife throughout the US, as explained by Bev Harris (BlackBoxVoting.org) and as could be seen in the 2016 US presidential election in the way that Bernie was kept out of the primaries in favor of Hillary in certain states like Iowa, Nevada, etc. Besides, even if the votes could be completely trusted, we come back to the point above: if the candidates are all the same on all the important topics, what does it matter?
4. Trump is really different to Obama. Sorry, but the answer is no. Yes, some things change every time a Republican president replaces a Democratic president and vice versa, but in the grander scheme of things, these changes are inconsequential. Trump is following suit after Obama in many ways. There is still an illegal US war against Syria, with the US military killing Syrian civilians. There are still 1000+ US military bases around the world, and with Trump increasing the budget, the US military, bullies of the world, ain’t going anywhere. There is still plenty of opium (professionally guarded by US troops) coming out of Afghanistan. There is still a massive surveillance state that continues to expand its reach. There are still billions of dollars flowing to the Zionist regime of Israel to help subdue the Palestinians, and millions of weapons flowing to the Saudis to fund ISIS and other terror groups to undermine Syria. Any difference between Trump, Obama, Hillary, Bush or any other US president (or mainstream presidential candidate) is tiny when compared to the bigger picture of what’s going on in the world.
Think about all the passion, energy and attention that went into the 2016 presidential elections. Why? What’s the point of all that focus when the result won’t make you more free, safe, peaceful, prosperous or happy? The whole concept of “democratic elections” is a massive sham. It’s a clever con to get the masses to waste their energy. As a society, if we want real change, we’re going to have to wake up to this and focus our attention on elevating our consciousness and changing the system in a whole different way.
5. Surveillance, data collection and data retention programs are only in place to keep you safe (and protect you against “terrorism”). Outright false. We are living in unprecedented times. A behemoth surveillance state is being constructed all around us. Every month, every week, and every day, the technology is advancing at an amazingly rapid rate. The capability to enslave us with this metastasizing technological matrix is a real and present danger. The amount of information that agencies like the CIA and NSA can access about you is already quite scary. Facebook (in league with Deep State agencies) conducts experiments to sway your emotions and moods; Google monitors and correlates your offline activity to all the online ads you’ve been exposed to; China, Japan the US and other nations are now setting up pre-crime systems to find and arrest people before they’ve even committed a crime. The Minority Report film was not fiction, but rather predictive programming.
All the information is fed into AI supercomputers who can predict your behavior and end up knowing you better than you know yourself. The goal has always been Total Information Awareness – which uncoincidentally was the precise name of a 2003 US Military program (under DARPA) which was renamed as the Terrorism Information Awareness. Funny thing that, since terrorism is the perennial excuse proffered by the NWO agents for all their draconian implementations, spying and intrusions. Wikipedia states that “according to a 2012 New York Times article, the legacy of Total Information Awareness is “quietly thriving” at the National Security Agency (NSA).“
6. If you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve got nothing to hide. False. This is twisted logic that the State uses to trick you into giving up your privacy and gaining the upper hand over you. In most relationships, the party that knows more has more power. It’s all about information control. Governments are usually ultra secretive and the very last type of organization to heed this piece of propaganda advice that they are dishing out. Governments routinely hide, coverup, classify, redact, “lose”, delete, destroy and suppress as much information as they can, all the time – yet they want access to all of your information! I could call that hypocritical, but that wouldn’t be fair to the word hypocritical.
Privacy matters. Society can’t function without privacy. Your rights matter, whether you have done something “wrong” or not. It is your choice to reveal what kind of information about yourself and to whom. Don’t fall for this obvious piece of propaganda designed to disarm you into giving away your power.
The hijacked environmental movement don’t recognize the propaganda, but manmade global warming is the hottest hoax around!
7. Manmade global warming is real (and carbon is a toxin). Doesn’t appear so. If manmade global warming or AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming) is real, why did the scientists involved cook the books, and fake the data with hockey stick rises? How is the hype today about global warming different to the hype in the 1970s about global cooling, which never transpired? Isn’t it convenient that either global warming or cooling provides the perfect excuse for the people who grew out of the Manhattan Project, and who are now running weather control and geoengineering programs, to execute their agenda? If global warming is real, why has it demonized CO2 or carbon dioxide, which is a necessary nutrient for all plant life on the planet? If AGW is real, why did the Rothschilds, Rockefellers and other NWO characters tie it into a scheme to create a one world currency and worldwide carbon tax in the 1980s (as overheard by George Hunt)? If AGW is real, why did various NWO think tanks talk about how the need to concoct a serious environmental threat in order to sufficiently scare people into accepting a One World Government?
8. Climate change is the biggest threat to humanity right now. No way! With all the focus on the manmade global warming hoax, it’s time to remember all the serious and real environmental threats we are facing, rather than be distracted by a scam designed to bring in a worldwide carbon tax. Geoengineering (a.k.a. chemtrails, SRM) continues its aerial spraying unabated in many countries around the world, dropping toxic elements from the skies to poison people, animals and plants below. Nuclear radiation, especially from Fukushima, continues to pollute the earth. Industrial pollution (including heavy metal contamination), general pollution (car exhausts, plastics) and synthetic drug pollution (pharma meds) all eventually end up in our waterways, air and/or food supply – not to mention pesticides like glyphosate sprayed on GMOs (see #10 below). California has just declared that glyphosate is a carcinogen. GMOs themselves are a grave environmental threat since they inevitably result in the genetic contamination of the DNA of pure, heirloom, natural or organic organisms (plant or animal).
There always has to be some bad guy or enemy propaganda – perhaps it’s time to look inside before making enemies outside.
9. Russia, North Korea, Syria and Iran – and Muslims in General – are the “Enemy”. If you believe this, first ask yourself: have these nations, peoples and cultures done anything to you personally? Have they threatened or attacked you? I doubt it. So why would you allow the Government, MSM and Corporatocracy tell you who the “enemy” is? Even if by some chance one of some of these people have wronged you, does it make sense to fear and hate an entire group just because of the actions of a few individuals? Remember, the military (and usually the State) need an enemy to survive and justify their own existence. The reality is that we don’t have to have any “enemies”, because the very fact of designating someone as an enemy shows that mutual respect, understanding and diplomacy have failed. It indicates a turning away from trying to understand each other and to find a mutually beneficial win-win arrangement – which is always there if we look and try hard enough. It’s laziness. It’s saying: “it’s too hard to work things out with this person or group, so I’m just going to designate them as someone or something worthy of disrespect, contempt and perhaps even worth slaying and destroying”. There can never be genuine peace while this attitude lurks at the foundation of our beliefs.
If you’re interested in actually forming your own opinions, read these articles on Russia and Putin, North Korea, Syria, Iran and Islam for some crucial background and context you’re not getting from the MSM.
10. GMOs will feed the world. Absolutely untrue. This type of propaganda is used by Big BioTech and Big Agra (who are very closely aligned with Big Pharma, as the merger between Bayer and Monsanto showed) to justify their anti-freedom and anti-health actions, i.e. patenting and monopolizing seeds (anti-freedom) and spraying toxic and synthetic chemicals all over the food (anti-health). A March 2015 report Feeding the World Without GMOs by EWG revealed that:
“[GMOs] have not significantly improved the yields of crops such as corn and soy. Emily Cassidy, an EWG research analyst who authored the report, found that in the last 20 years, yields of both GE corn and soy have been no different from traditionally bred corn and soy grown in western Europe, where GE crops are banned. Additionally, a recent case study in Africa found that crops that were crossbred for drought tolerance using traditional techniques improved yields 30 percent more than GE varieties … The report also said that in the two decades that GE crops have been a mainstay in conventional agriculture, they “have not substantially improved global food security” and have instead increased the use of toxic herbicides and led to herbicide-resistant “superweeds“.”
Conclusion: Be On Your Toes, and You Will Overcome All the Propaganda
As long as you are determined to find the truth, to keep digging, keep reading, keep exploring and keep demanding satisfactory answers, the lie of the propaganda will reach its expiration date. It can never be as powerful as the truth. Stay tuned for the final part 4 piece in this series.

The only thing we really need to fear is FUCK-YOUshima!
OMG Makia…you are too good to be real!!!!
You always seem to nail It!!!
YOU ARE THE REAL DEAL!!!! not a SHEEPLE
There is also much Propaganda for ETS,and just as many telling lies to discredit the real truth..
Cheers All The Best
It is all well and good: to be awake and be able to identify propaganda, know what is wrong, and attempt to awaken our friends and family, however what are we going to do about it, and when? The only reason we awakened is that the broad scope of the Internet reaches into every nook and cranny of the world. That is likely to change in the in the near future in the name of security.
The globalists are very close to achieving their goals. The awakened will be targeted or simply die off leaving the world in the hands of the elite and the sheeple (today’s indoctrinated youth). I worked very hard to send my son to private schools to make sure he properly educated and capable of independent thinking. The plan worked very well until he attended university. There he was fully indoctrinated in all that I had worked so hard to avoid. Now he has on ‘global glasses’ and I am unable to shake them loose.

You’re kidding, right? Private school is without propaganda?
Once again, all I can say is “thank you”. I am left speechless with wonder. Just a wee query about item 2:
In the UK Labour’s Corbyn does appear to be the genuine article. Do you have an opinion about him? If he is genuine he will probably never be allowed to be in a position to become Prime Minister, the ultimate weapon to stop him being “accidental death”. If Princess Diana can be eliminated from the scene this way so can he, no?
Just re your point # 2, The Free Thought Project aptly captures the illusion of choice in the two party preferred circus with this image:
http://thefreethoughtproject.com/assange-explains-liberals-conservatives/
Regarding point # 9, the doctrine/instructions in the Koran ARE a challenge and threat to human progress and freedom.
Like any religious book, it depends what part or what verse. You can take parts of the Bible or Koran and find supporting quotes to justify just about any kind of behavior you wish, from love, kindness and mercy, to hate, revenge, war and murder.
You seem to have been misled by false translations of “orientalists”. What exactly are you objecting to? I doubt if you have read the Qur’an. Do read it in its entirety, avoiding translations by Islamophobes like Dawood. This may help:

Another piece of Global propaganda is the claim that the Papacy is either benign or insignificant.
#4..some truth before the propaganda lies of the MSM

What use is KNOWING if we do not put that KNOWLEDGE to use?
We are SURROUNDED by PROPAGANDISTS, Intellectual COWARDS and Useful IDIOTS –“WAR by DECEPTION”, Mossad: http://www.veteranstoday.com/2017/07/06/will-the-real-paul-joseph-watson-please-stand-up/
This is the BEST example, by ANALOGY, which I can offer, to show you, TODAY’S AMERICA and Americans and hopefully, via this video below get through to you, not that I haven’t tried in so many other ways, with WORDS .
Americans, and other WESTERNERS do not seem to realize they are LITERALLY fighting a BATTLE of “KILL or BE KILLED” today.
We are, ALL, not just Americans in the Western World dealing with DANGEROUS PREDATORS, whom I have named so many times, who SURVIVE because of their KILLING instinct. When they are Humans, as our “predators” are, we call them PSYCHOPATHS. IN the ANIMAL world the killing behavior is NATURAL and a NECESSARY part of SURVIVAL and we recognize and respect that. It is the SAME in the Human world except we have stopped recognizing and respecting it…… to our PERIL.
NO, I am NOT talking about Muslims, as so many are indoctrinated to wish to believe !
WE, OUTNUMBER our ENEMY and could easily take them out, but we run around, like chickens with their “heads cut off” not knowing what to do, in spite of people like myself warning what you can do.
Why?……..You have lost your “KILL”, if necessary, to SURVIVE” instinct .You don’t even want to contemplate it.
I am talking about, the so-called, PEOPLE we know as, Illuminati, Freemasons, Zionists, Cabal etc. They number less than 10,000 .WE number in the BILLIONS- over 300 million in the U.S. alone and 150 million in Russia
We are like the 4 large DOGS, against only 1 WOLF in the video, below. The DOGS outnumber and could easily KILL the Wolf, ( I have owned many large dogs and know that as fact ) but these 4 dogs have lost their KILLING instinct, to SURVIVE and thus DO NOT KNOW what to do,…… mainly because of US.We raise them like we raise and pamper our children, as if they are people, resulting in the same lack of AWARENESS of the DANGER, right in front of them, as do our children and MOST Americans and WHAT to do about it. Those dogs in this video, literally run around the Wolf, barking incessantly, but do NOTHING else. The result is one of the four dogs is casually carried away, still obviously alive,by thee Wolf and ironically helping the Wolf, itself, by running along with it, partially in the wolf’s mouth, oblivious to its very painful, soon-to-come, fate, AND that, in spite of being as large as the Wolf……… to become food for the wolf’s family.
I don’t blame the wolf, by the way. It is doing what NATURE designed it to do. Those Dogs and WE, especially, are NOT doing what we are designed to do – SURVIVE!!!
The Wolf will return, again and again over the weeks ahead to carry away another – one at a time UNTIL ALL dogs it can find, are FOOD, for the Wolf’s Family, as is happening figuratively,to us, by stooges working for, such as, The House of Rothschild’
Those Dogs and WE are an EASY “MEAL”, for predators ( Psychopaths) and for the SAME REASON- we don’t TRULY and PROPERLY fight back, not just to defend ourselves but to ELIMINATE the Predator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5psOPuDI0c
Defense, alone, is useless, because the Predator will keep coming back until it wins or loses.
Dear Freespirit,
I agree with you completely. I don’t know your age I can only assume you are younger than 77. That’s my age. I have been trying for the last 20 years ever since the 1st George Bush signed the so-called soft treaty with the United Nation and their Agenda 21 on Sustainable Development. This was the beginning of our down fall. The wool has been pulled over our eyes, by ever source of the MSM. Every area of the government, every agency, including the FDA, Big Pharma etc. etc. Our foods has been poisoned by Monsanto. Doctors are prescribing deadly medication and our children are forced to get vaccinated. Need I go any further. I keep trying to educate people and I do get discourage because people think I don’t know what I’m talking about, although no one is willing to read informative information. No one seems to be willing to see what is really happening here and around the world.
I have no answer and I’m no one else does.
Great article! Something i personally needed to read. i so wanted to believe Trump was different. Not. i really disrespect & distrust islam and i’m not changing that view, but i recognize i need to try and live & let live as long as no cars go up on my neighborhood sidewalks.
totally agree with the poster about Fukashima – greatest disaster ever to occur on our lovely planet, and the fucking world ignores it. plus i think jim stone is right – thekahzarianmafiosa caused it with a nuke in the japanese trench. but move along, nothing to see here…
beyond collectively raising our consciousness though which sorry, sounds like new age b.s., there’s got to be a cohesive way of striking back at the NWO & taking back control of our planet before we truly all become like the population in Orwell’s “1984”. Maybe, hopefully you’ll give us some pragmatic tools in your next article! Looking forward!
The so-called western world is wrapped in evil at the present time. Millions of human beings have been ruthlessly killed in recent years, millions more rendered disabled, still more millions made refugees after the infrastructure and economies of their countries were destroyed. The reasons are many and complex. An important reason that is never mentioned is the effect on the western civilisation and psyche that the barbaraous and moronic Judeo-Christian scriptures have had down the centuries. More on that subject here:

June 7, 2017 We Have Met the Evil Empire and It Is Us
You see, the multi-generational ignorance we bask in today is not unplanned. The threat represented by advances in communications and other technology was recognized and dealt with, utterly quashed at birth.
http://www.veteranstoday.com/2017/06/07/we-have-met-the-evil-empire-and-it-is-us/
Will you still be posting part 4?
Yes it’s coming soon.
Every day I am starting to see more of the lies that we get force fed on a daily basis. It seems as though the government wants us to be so scared of terrorism, that we forget to worry about anything else. They are telling us what to care about, and none of it is a big problem. Terrorism may or may not be fake, and we are being watched at all times. I believe we are quickly approaching WW3 or the apocalypse, society cannot continue on for this long without people coming to the realization that they are not in control. Or perhaps, our society would be come one similar to the world of Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury. We lose our voices and we lose everything. The fact that you are on this website means you are one step ahead, (or so we think). There is hope. DON’T BE A SHEEP.
what does this have to do with propaganda?
good job you did a really good job
Well; this might also partly be propaganda for all we know, I will not trust this source.
9: 9. Russia, North Korea, Syria and Iran – and Muslims in General – are the “Enemy”. If you believe this, first ask yourself: have these nations, peoples and cultures done anything to you personally?
NOPE. Then why is the US bullying them?
