I listened briefly to a talk show where the subject was North Korea attacking the United States. The host mentioned that the North Korean people were brain washed. That’s why they live in absolute poverty and support the current leader - and all the past ones too.
That got me to thinking about being brain washed. Yes, the North Koreans are starving but the mere mention of the evil USA and they are ready to fight. Propaganda is a powerful tool. All governments use it. Yes, even here in the land of milk and honey.
First, politicians promise anything and everything. Then they get elected and it’s no holds barred. They use their public information machine and the dumb as a rock media to propagandize their real plan - which is to stay in power. A recent example is the "Obamacare" health plan. It was going to be wonderful and cheap. Guess what, it is not wonderful and is expensive. The full effect won’t hit the general public until next year, and by then it will be too late. By, then the politicians will find a crisis to get your mind focused onto something else.
Brain washing is a terrible thing. It can make the masses believe a lie and be willing to die for it.
I think it’s the spin cycle that does it.
