I was watching a WWII story on the defeat of Nazi Germany last night. We all know how that played out, but what was insightful was how the German people were so easily manipulated into following a self-destructive and murderous regime. Disinformation and propaganda were very effective.
Right up to the end they were believers and followers.

It was a good illustration of just how easy it is to con the masses into accepting anything. We are in a similar situation today with the Iranian “deal” and the growing threat of ISIS.

You make some very good points.

.....”what was insightful was how the German people were so ‘easily manipulated into following’ a self-destructive and murderous regime... Disinformation and propaganda were very effective.....Right up to the end they were believers and followers.”......

Rather like hard core Obama followers today.....and those supporting the Pope....as well those who follow Islam teachings......the masses are very easily mislead today despite the availability of truth....the problem is people don't want the truth it's easier to believe in a false utopia spewed by politicians and religious leaders.....

We are witnessing the initial stages of the rise of a one world government and religion in the making......and the populations of all nations are ripe for it.....deceptions will rule because truth does not want to be seen or heard

* Disinformation and propaganda *

I think these are the mottos for ABC NBC CNN and CBS.

I believe that a tattoo that says, “Disinformation and propaganda” is required to work at HuffPo, MSLSD, Time and Newsweak.

Exactly. And I point out the dangers of concentrated central power along with the worship of political false idols to my liberal friends. It does make them pause and actually contemplate. They’ve just been too brainwashed for too long to think logically and historically so they need lotsa help.
