Great find.

[veronica]

FYI.

[bluegrass]

"Invent the lie; repeat it often,and it will become the truth, no matter what the facts are."

This says it all.

[q_an_a]

Benedict Arnold was one too. This line is getting more play than I thought and is a great talking point.

[marty60]

Exactly how LONG did Kerry serve. Bush five years? Kerry we know spent 4 months in VN, but total service?

[chambley1]

I know what a DD-214 is, I cried when they gave my honorable discharge to me.

A note to all FR veterans - FAX a copy of your discharge certificates to the DNC and tell them to wipe their asses with them.

GOEBBELS' PRINCIPLES OF PROPAGANDA

Based upon Goebbels' Principles of Propaganda by Leonard W. Doob, published in Public Opinion and Propaganda; A Book of Readings edited for The Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues.

1. Propagandist must have access to intelligence concerning events and public opinion.

 

2. Propaganda must be planned and executed by only one authority.

a. It must issue all the propaganda directives.

b. It must explain propaganda directives to important officials and maintain their morale.

c. It must oversee other agencies' activities which have propaganda consequences

3. The propaganda consequences of an action must be considered in planning that action.

 

4. Propaganda must affect the enemy's policy and action.

a. By suppressing propagandistically desirable material which can provide the enemy with useful intelligence

b. By openly disseminating propaganda whose content or tone causes the enemy to draw the desired conclusions

c. By goading the enemy into revealing vital information about himself

d. By making no reference to a desired enemy activity when any reference would discredit that activity

5. Declassified, operational information must be available to implement a propaganda campaign

 

6. To be perceived, propaganda must evoke the interest of an audience and must be transmitted through an attention-getting communications medium.

 

7. Credibility alone must determine whether propaganda output should be true or false.

 

8. The purpose, content and effectiveness of enemy propaganda; the strength and effects of an expose; and the nature of current propaganda campaigns determine whether enemy propaganda should be ignored or refuted.

 

9. Credibility, intelligence, and the possible effects of communicating determine whether propaganda materials should be censored.

 

10. Material from enemy propaganda may be utilized in operations when it helps diminish that enemy's prestige or lends support to the propagandist's own objective.

 

11. Black rather than white propaganda may be employed when the latter is less credible or produces undesirable effects.

 

12. Propaganda may be facilitated by leaders with prestige.

 

13. Propaganda must be carefully timed.

a. The communication must reach the audience ahead of competing propaganda.

b. A propaganda campaign must begin at the optimum moment

c. A propaganda theme must be repeated, but not beyond some point of diminishing effectiveness

14. Propaganda must label events and people with distinctive phrases or slogans.

a. They must evoke desired responses which the audience previously possesses

b. They must be capable of being easily learned

c. They must be utilized again and again, but only in appropriate situations

d. They must be boomerang-proof

15. Propaganda to the home front must prevent the raising of false hopes which can be blasted by future events.

 

16. Propaganda to the home front must create an optimum anxiety level.

a. Propaganda must reinforce anxiety concerning the consequences of defeat

b. Propaganda must diminish anxiety (other than concerning the consequences of defeat) which is too high and which cannot be reduced by people themselves

17. Propaganda to the home front must diminish the impact of frustration.

a. Inevitable frustrations must be anticipated

b. Inevitable frustrations must be placed in perspective

18. Propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred.

 

19. Propaganda cannot immediately affect strong counter-tendencies; instead it must offer some form of action or diversion, or both.

Here’s a reminder, you moronic nimrods: WE ARE AT WAR.


Something that all of the "Bush is not 100% conservative so I won't vote for him again" bunch need to get through their thick skulls!

[cripplecreek]

Joseph Goebbels would have loved the current crop of democrats and the internet even more.

[marty60]

I'm tired of the Kerry medal BS out of the Dums. Even Adolph Hitler got a medal.

[VRWCTexan]

Great idea - mine will reflect 31/2 years active duty USAF - given a six month "early out" since they were looking to save $.

From there I enlisted in the Texas ANG and served two years with none other than our great President!

Guard duty is honorable service, and GWB helped guard our soft (Gulf of Mexico) under-belly on air partols against Russian "Bear" aircraft flying out of Cuba.

[marty60]

oops before my vet friends go nuts on me. The meaning is, it's not whats on the man's chest but what is in his mind and heart. Kerry's actions after the war says eveything. Even up to THIS war.

[sgtbono2002]

Benedict Arnold lost a leg fighting for the USA in the Revolution before he turned traitor. Kerry got 3 scratches and used them to get an early ride home. Now he wants to use then for a free ride into the Presidency.

[workerbee]

Mr. Bush’s opponents are using this formula to try to convince the country he is a liar.

Meanwhile, those who are supposed to be his allies in Congress are busy kowtowing, butt kissing, and otherwise prostrating themselves before Goebbels party. I guess we can't expect them to stand up for their president when they're so busy investigating themselves for "wrongdoing", can we?

[antiRepublicrat]

Okay everyone, how much of that can you recognize in our own government?

A note to all FR veterans - FAX a copy of your discharge certificates to the DNC and tell them to wipe their asses with them.

I get the intended point, but no way. I don't want their sleazy operatives knowing I even exist, much less have so much information on me.

[chambley1]

Ya your're right, not a smart thing to do. I am just so damn pissed and these gutless lefties. We need a veteran protest at DNC or something.

[alloysteel]

FAX a copy of your discharge certificates to the DNC and tell them to wipe their asses with them.

You realize, that this gives them an excellent "enemies list", and maybe the sort of thing that can be the beginnings of a roster for confinement sometime in the future, if, however unlikely it may seem now, suppression is deemed to be the official government policy.

Vote and campaign against every Democrat currently running for office anywhere, as if your life depended on it. Someday, it may.
