Propaganda Posing As A Counter Terrorism Fiction Novel

By Tammie Caldwell


Whenever war is being waged, the governments and media organizations around the world oil up their propaganda machines. Controlling the information received by the people helps them to control the opinions of the people as well. This is not always done through television and newspapers, as any counter terrorism fiction novel will suffice.

The concept of propaganda was established and utilized a great deal during the second World War. Both the Germans and Allied forces dropped leaflets into the streets of Berlin, attempting to sway the public opinion either for or against the Nazi Party. The radio was also a very big player, allowing a more intimate level of communication with large numbers of people.

This era also marked the early days of television and movies. Once again, it was the Nazi leader Adolph Hitler who utilized that medium to full potential. He had learned how to give animated speeches that stirred his audience into an emotional frenzy, and the radio/television phenomena allowed him to stir an even larger audience than anyone ever had.

With this power to reach large numbers, Hitler was able to stage the fire which sparked his initial attack on Poland. This was done as an act of internal vandalism wherein his own men started the fire, and it was blamed on a mentally handicapped Jewish man. This style of provocateur is now universally known as a false flag attack.

The American media machine utilized this same tactic in order to get a draft for the war in Vietnam. While this was not an official false flag attack, as no attack actually took place at all, it was the first time the media was used to fool the public. The capsized boat which was reported to be an American naval vessel was actually a Vietnamese fishing boat.

There are many who claim that the 2001 attack on the Twin Towers was the most elaborate false flag history has ever seen. They cite the erroneous reporting that took place on that day, the relationships that all eyewitnesses had to media sources, and the nature of the collapse itself. The claims that 9-11 was a false flag attack have divided Americans greatly.

An artful practice of propaganda means that the social divisions created in any debate can be utilized to keep people arguing amongst themselves, thus allowing the powers that be to do as they wish. While groups like They Are Change may contain individuals who truly wish to see justice done on a weary planet, these groups can also be used by propagandists. Controlled opposition keeps people separate and at each other like lions, diverting attention from those who are truly responsible.

Regardless of where the truth lies, one should always read books, newspapers, periodicals, or anything else with a grain of salt. It is not always easy to be discerning when so much information is pelted at the American people each day. However, when one asks themselves who benefits from an event, follows the money trail, and tries to remain objective; they often find the truth always lies somewhere in the middle.
