I just watched a world war 2 USA propaganda film. The purpose seemed to be to convince young Americans to support the war and enlist. To be honest I found it to me much more powerful then the stuff you tend to see on the news. It had a clear selling point and related well to the audience (young American teenagers). As far as propaganda goes this was excellent. The use of animation graphic was moving, despite the limits of late 30s early 40s tech. I was actually aware of a serious effect on my emotional state. This film was much better then anything modern I have seen.
The point is: either the propaganda masters supposedly controlling the media have forgotten how to do what the people that made the WW2 stuff did.
Or they have gotten so good at it we don’t even realize what they were doing (I could feel a change of mood and sentiment whale watching the film, that has never happened in such a way when I watch regular TV)

With respect to the current Iraq "war". I'm wondering what is the purpose of
the constant daily reporting of "yet another car bomb exploded today and
xx number of people were killed". I mean, come on, is this really headline
news? Is it an effort to keep people supporting the so called war? It seems to
me that it would have the opposite effect.
Also, I'm wondering why the prison torture scandal was allowed to be reported.
I'm fairly certain the military has pretty good control of what is allowed to be
reported within the United States. So what was the purpose of letting this
come out?

ok this is a little off topic... but... when listening to the digital cable music channels... such as the techno channel. I have state of the art 7.2 digital surround. I'll notice that when I turn the tv on there will be a loud annoying almost mind numbing high pitch frequency that it gives off. And when I turn it off it goes away. I have always been one of those people that could tell if a monitor was on in another room because i could hear the faint high pitched sound. Anyone else that has a simular setup like mine, I urge you to try this out for yourself. I've found that with techno music it is more pronounced because of the wide frequencies that are produced. But the way this high pitched sound coming from the TV makes me feel is the more interesting part. It almost zones me into the tv and I find it harder to even concentrait on the music. Now hows that for mind control? FYI I have a run of the mill samsung 27 inch 5yr old TV.

Does anyone else realize that television broadcasting is performing mass brainwashing on the populous?
I guess the real question is: What is it that "they" want us to believe?
