Kriegspropaganda

DOES THIS LOOK LIKE WHAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE DOING TO TAKE THE HEAT OFF MADAM CLINTON?



Kriegspropaganda

 In the early days of the Nazi Party, Hitler made sure that he himself was Director of Propaganda. He saw this as the most important party post, and his achievements as a propagandist were essential to the Party’s eventual success. Here are some of his insights:               
             
+  Propaganda should appeal to the heart, not the intellect.
+  It should be understandable by the least educated members of society.
+  It should contain one central message, to be repeated over and over.
+  Pictures and drawings, even crude sketches, speak louder than words, and the fewer words the better.
+  The views of the opposition should be denounced categorically, never entertained.
+  A big lie is more effective than several small ones. Even once exposed, it still carries a ‘force of credibility’, a lingering doubt that at least some aspect of it might still be true.
+  Accuse your opponents of what you yourself are doing.
+  Focus should be kept on fighting a single enemy; all other enemies should be linked with a single great one.
+  Face-to-face meetings with the public are the most effective way to promote a political agenda.
+  A political campaign should be led by one charismatic figure with strong, inflexible convictions.

It seems as though these are fairly universal this season.

One of the more effective strategies is to spin a narrative and push it hard. When the optics become inconvenient, stop talking about it. Drop it completely. The public tends to remember the first story that comes up.
You see this often with Hate Crimes. An event will happen, the media will spin up the narrative, people yell and demand change. If the event turns out to be a hoax, it disappears overnight. Poof! But people will remember the event as true because that's what was reinforced. The media wisely doesn't play up the inconvenient truth.
