Finance professor denounces Bush administration's Iraq-related propaganda
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Michael S. Rozeff, professor of finance at the University of Buffalo, discusses the role propaganda has played in rallying support for the current war in Iraq.
Propaganda is a volume of slanted messages spread with intent to deceive.
We have just lived through a massive propaganda campaign that launched the Iraq War.
Our topmost government officials lied so much, jumping from one lie to the next, that they made it difficult for many to believe they were lying.
Numerous people spread the lies through speeches, commentary, and the media.
The catch-words stirred up old memories and deep emotions.
At low cost, reporters drink in stories and news from political sources and press secretaries.
Finding the truth, checking sources, developing multiple news sources, hiring knowledgeable reporters, doing research all take much more time and money.
It's clear that our media supported government officials and politicians during the Iraq campaign of lies.
Stories that puncture patriotism don't sell when the President and his men are systematically and continually manufacturing one storyline after another in a crescendo of hatred and fear.
Speeches and talk shows provided the foundation upon which the house of lies was built.
Let us further this hope with a quick, free, and lighthearted guide to methods of resisting propaganda.
Here you have free thinkers and iconoclastic thinkers who provide a high standard of argumentation, fact, logic, reason, opinion, and entertainment.
While watching tv or reading, talk to yourself.
Say you, the husband, are watching a speech on tv.
The same rule applies to advertising, stock broker recommendations, and anything written by professors.
What you see on tv and hear on radio goes right into your mind, willy-nilly, unless you resist.
This is advice for believers, to help you to fear no evil.
For others, the idea is to place your trust of man on a lower plane.
