A master class in propaganda study - Mark Crispin Miller
most Americans have virtually no idea how much their lives are absolutely RULED by propaganda— and censorship.
To our great detriment, most Americans have virtually no idea how much their lives are absolutely RULED by propaganda— and censorship. For decades an anti-propaganda law prevented the U.S. government’s mammoth broadcasting resources from delivering programming to American audiences. But in 2013, under the Obama Administration, the propaganda ban was repealed to allow the government to spread its version of news (true or false) to Americans. And boy have they exploited and perfected the process.
In a talk last May, renowned author-journalist Professor Mark Crispin Miller delivered concise, engaging and revealing examples of what Propaganda is— and how it’s been strategically deployed in highly organized efforts to move large numbers of people to specific thoughts and actions— usually, regarding government policy.
This short video will enable you to understand just how US and world public opinion has been carefully manipulated to create passionate public mindsets about critical topics such as Syria, Russiagate, Trump, election validity, the Ukraine, and numerous other topics including virtually everything Covid— influencing people to think a certain way about all of those subjects that supports US government and elite corporate interests, and literally demonizes any disagreement, however factual and well-substantiated. If more people were aware of this over the past few years, millions of American lives would not have been lost.
Invest a half hour to learn how the power and money that controls the US uses propaganda to bury the inconvenient truths that would expose them for the humongous and deadly frauds they are.

My friend Gunnar Kjeld, the pro-democracy/health freedom activist who organized my talk, has started a new outlet for honest content on topics both aesthetic and political, and is seeking funds to build it up:
In order to enable healthy, truly democratic conversation on important issues, there must be spaces for divergent views, so that our too-comfortable notions might be duly challenged, and new ideas take shape. Especially in these dark times of endless, all-pervasive propaganda, the maintenance of such free media outlets is more crucial than it’s ever been. Signpost Events (Vegvísir Viðburða) has been actively engaged in fostering precisely this kind of intellectual and artistic freedom; and, to that end, we now plan to enhance this crucial effort through the creation of Studio 7
Studio 7 intends to produce audio and video content related to issues from both a political and aesthetic perspective. This past summer, we were offered space for the Studio, and subsequently secured it on a lease. During the past few months, we´ve managed to soundproof parts of the space and have addressed various design-related challenges. We are now seeking financial support to finalize the construction of Studio 7. Specifically, we need to meet equipment and broadcasting costs, as well as rent and salaries. To bring this vision to life-- which so many will benefit from--we appeal to you to support this fundraising campaign, and thank you for your generosity.
With warm regards and gratitude from Iceland, on behalf of Signpost events and Studio 7,
Gunnar Kjeld
