Propaganda

Political correctness (lying) and multi-culturalism espoused by American news media and by elected officials in Washington are compounding serious problems. For example, our laws spell out deportation of anyone who has entered the United States illegally. Yet, because America's illegal aliens constitute an ethnic "minority,” our president and others in office intend to ignore established laws.
Here is another example. President Obama called the murder of 14 people at Fort Hood, Texas, by a Muslim Army officer “workplace violence” rather than admitting that it was an Islamic terrorist act.
In our nation, politically correct news stories are repeated for days or even weeks, crafted to create the desired uniform public opinion. Television news has become a propaganda platform. Worse yet, news organizations are not independent of our federal government.
Here is a an example of government control of the news. This is in reference to state-controlled news reporting under Hitler in June 1939, and events that led to World War Two: “Nazi propaganda against Poland was in full blast, the German press screaming about Polish atrocities against the German minority in Poland.” (from the non-fiction book “Master of Spies” by General Frantisek Moravec).
Three months later, on Sept. 1, 1939, German armies invaded, occupied and enslaved Poland under the guise of righting a string of alleged wrongs and supposed attacks by Poland. When lies are not countered with truth, bad things happen.
Fascism is authoritarian rule by force. The National Socialist Party (Nazi) in Germany used money from wealthy citizens to employ hordes of unemployed thugs, to carry out a program of threats, intimidation, subversion, tricks, propaganda, arson, lies, torture, theft and murder which brought Hitler to power. As a result, over 40 million people died in Europe alone.
Fascism seeks to kill the strong, seduce the weak and mislead the simple. America has seen Islamic terrorist attacks on 9-11, and more recently at the Boston Marathon. But Islam is labeled as a minority religion, so it is off-limits. In reality, Islam is fascism, a political ideology intent on ruling the world through terror. What other “religion” on the planet murders 158 young boys in a school, as happened in Pakistan last week? Does it take the same thing to happen in America for this country to admit the peril?
On May 28, 2014, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announced that the United States government was setting up a $5 billion “terrorism partnership fund” to assist other countries in pushing combating “radical extremists,” according to the Associated Press. Note the politically correct wording “radical extremists,” instead of naming Islam, the primary source of savage terrorism worldwide.
Is it a crime to lie? The jail bookings column of this newspaper occasionally reports the arrest of a person charged with filing a false police report. Lying to the public is also wrong, and will lead America to socialism in the absence of truth in the news. Examine where your opinions originate.
