Big bluff propaganda
American Thinker ^ | 3 Feb, 2017 | Joanna Rosamond

The Big Lie theory has long fascinated compliance strategists and inspired many wannabe dictators to use deception as a pendulum during an attempted "mass-hypnosis."

Correlation between government and disinformation led to a socio-political myth: "this is the way it works – the rule can never change" – and substantially damaged people's trust not only in officials, but in their own electoral power.

Naturally, the weavers of this web of deception and other dwellers of the cozy anti-accountability cocoon will declare war on an "outsider." The proof is in how President Trump has been welcomed.

Donald Trump has a leadership-wise promising feature that must be particularly unsettling for the deep-seated oligarchs. Whatever he does, he tries his best. These days, he is committed to making America great again.

Obama and his royal court brought the liar's game to another level, and even "enriched" the methodology of propaganda in what I would like to call the Big Bluff strategy.

While there is nothing new in trying to mislead by a display of confidence in the strength of one's political cards, an attempt to normalize playing with fake aces and a virtual deck, creating a massive propaganda operation is actually quite innovative.

In terms of political warfare, the favorable climate for the extensive propaganda operation was assured by the implementation of the allied left's agenda not in one, but in several countries simultaneously. Journalistic objectivity ceded its place to political dictate; political correctness "extended" freedom of speech on the left to blatant lies and insults and suppressed insurgent opinions through gate-keeping bias.

Like the Compost and other left wing mediots, earlier this week saying Trump threatened to invade Mexico!

Trump did not threaten war with Mexico, U.S. and Mexican officials agree

MEXICO CITY — Did President Trump threaten to invade Mexico?

That’s the question at the heart of the new controversy over the phone call last Friday between Trump and President Enrique Peña Nieto of Mexico, and both sides say the answer is no. Several published accounts mentioned that Trump referred to all the “bad hombres” in Mexico and said that the U.S. military might have to take care of the problem if Mexico’s armed forces weren’t up to the task.

Mexican officials did not equate that with a threat to deploy south of the border.

“It’s absolutely false that the United States president threatened to send troops to Mexico,” Peña Nieto’s spokesmen Eduardo Sanchez said in a radio interview.

The leftist rags have lost their credibility. Best to assume they are lying unless proven true.

“The leftist rags have lost their credibility. Best to assume they are lying unless proven true.”

When any of our remaining Never Trumpsters post a negative bs article about Trump like this Mexico bs, I don’t bother reading their Fake News.

The left wing mediots at the Compost and Ny/La Slimes are destroying themselve with the independents with their lies and fake news.

Many of us out here in N. Californicator land have given up on the local tv stations because of their total bias. That total lying bs is shown by the local TV stations and fishwraps in N Cali still calling the rioters at Bezerkley, protesters.

Excellent summary of what our left wing mediots have done to us.

"The leftist rags have lost their credibility." They had a good sixty year run of doing damage to all things American.

Actually, the NY Slimes has been lying to Americans going back to them helping Wilson to become president and remain as president inspite of his severe mental and physical ills.

The Slimes protected the mass murderers in Russia as their beloved Communists killed millions of Russians who resisted communism.

They have never stopped supporting anti Americans from Communists to the Jihadist.
