Obama put the mass propaganda machine in place.
You actually have folks championing this act.
“Hurrah, now we too have government propaganda!!!”
I love the way they describe it. You now get the “opportunity” to be propagandized by government. LOL
Insiders refer to this as “apple pie propaganda.”
Any power you give government, they will use and abuse (FISA, UCSs, etc), and to that end Covid was the first time these new powers were used wide scale on the US public (totally under reported).
What people do not understand regards censorship, is that it has been going on full swing for a longer time. You don’t realize what you’re missing (don’t know what you don’t know) and if you are able to truly get out from under it, you realize what’s going on. Even though you have for example RT in the US, you don’t really get RT, much is missing and you don’t really get that news which our government thinks goes against their agenda.
You have 4 servers, two on each coast that filter everything coming in and going out.
The problem with the combination of censorship and propaganda is that while the truth is still out there usually (a small percent may be talking about it), the government is able to dominate the narrative and since 85% of the decisions we make are emotional (we predominantly act on feelings not logic), you can basically steer public perception and thereby behaviors.
It’s not about what the 2% - 5% think or even what everyone has heard rumors of, it’s about what you can make the other 95% act on (example Covid vaccine “safe and effective”).
The problem you run into today is that because this censorship and propagandizing is done with a smile, no one comes and burns books or beats someone for saying something, the end effect is still that the public is controlled, but you don’t have the public rebelling against it.
In most cases people are not even aware of the silent hand in the background guiding them. Regards Covid they took things really far and the public began to grumble about social distancing, closing businesses and vaccine mandates, but social media (where most people get their “news” from today) and the MSM did their job and people were generally compliant. Opposing voices were marginalized, made out as conspiracy theorists, and the people did as told.
Yes.
even our doctor, who we have a high regard for...pushed the covid “vaccine”...like he was told to by his hospital...
when I questioned him by pointing out that it used a new biological mechanism that had never been tested on large scale public before...and that there were questions regarding potential long-term side effects (damage to health), which obviously had never been tested since there’d been no experience with the injections, our doctor trusted the government and he continued to push the shots
to his credit, he’d been pretty much able to rely on FDA and his hospital’s recommendations in past on other things
anyway, a couple years passed and when we had our annual physical appointments, our doctor spent at least half the time railing that he’d been misled, lied to by government...(comment: IMAGINE your govt lying to you!? ha ha) and anyway he was most apologetic about, rued having pushed the shots
he still regrets it to this day
