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.
While the earliest examples of propaganda were actually spread during the age of Rome, modern propaganda included everything from fliers dropped by airplanes to radio broadcasts from top world leaders. Adolph Hitler recognized and utilized the power of radio in order to spread the message of the Nazi Party. Many Germans sat huddled around their radios hanging on to his every word.
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.
By reaching such large numbers of people, Hitler was able to give a convincing account of a fire which they blamed on a Jewish youth. By generating support for war, Hitler was able to attack Poland, thus initiating the first battles of the second World War. He and Nero of Rome were the first known leaders to commit what is now commonly called a False Flag Attack.
America has a history of false flags as well, having committed a combination of false flag and Wag The Dog in order to get the country involved in the war in Vietnam. The news media reported that an American Navy ship had been attacked and sunk by the communists. They printed a photograph of a sunken ship in all the newspapers, but it turns out that ship was actually a Vietnamese fishing vessel which had sunk without any known act of war committed upon it.
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.
With research and a discerning mind, one generally discovers that the truth almost always lies somewhere in the middle of a debate. One remains discerning by keeping a grain of salt whenever reading anything; whether it be a book, newspaper article, or blog. If one can learn to ask who benefits from a situation, and then follow the trail of money to where it leads, then they can maintain objectivity necessary to recognize the truth.
