Winning Tactics: Time is Short So Use Methods That Work - psy ops primer.
FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS DRIVE TOO FASCIST.

Want to be a Designated Driver in a Country Drunk On Lies?
Learn how to find the steering wheel in people's minds and drive responsibly.

Using the most effective tactics for reaching the American Grand Jury is our only means of survival at this dire time, not just a matter of aesthetics or privacy.

We MUST learn to use the propaganda tactics of effective messaging which the US government and its carnies have been using on all of us for decades to bring us to this state of "catastrophic success."

Then we MUST warn our fellow citizens of the neo-con fascist scam perpetrated on them and restore the US Constitution,Geneva Conventions, rule of law, and professional accountability to a revered place in their hearts.

Learn how to warn others that we have a case of corporate parasites on us who are killing us because not enough of us realize this urgent need for a quick change in what we're doing as a country.

1) PHOTOS ARE THE BEST EVIDENCE

I recommend a relentless postering campaign of war dead and injured on every public surface.

Our brains are hard-wired to respond sympathetically with someone else's pain. Photos can speak those thousands of words necessary to cut through the BushCo 'War on Terror' cover story for an oil war.

The blood has already been spilled and merely needs to be shown to the public.

2) LEARN HOW PROPAGANDA WORKS. USE IT TO SPREAD GOOD INFO
TO COUNTER THE DIS-INFO THAT GOT US AND KEEPS US DOWN.

'BushSpeak' is text-book (1979 US Army Propaganda Field Manual 33-1) psychological manipulation and deception and it is working well on the large number of Americans who are suggestable through ignorance, disinformation, and emotional vulnerability.

Learn what works in language and persuasion technology and use these effective methods to shape people's opinions by countering the harm already done with good information and a clear concise expanantion of the scam told in vocabulary they audience can and WANT to hear.

I intend to write a comparison to show how Dubya's persona is deliberately crafted to fool his target audience, the American public, with the use of this US Army Propaganda Manual 33-1 and Biderman's Chart of Coercion detailing the eight standard techniques used to break the minds and wills of prisoners. Biderman's chart was compiled by Amnesty International and codifies methods used for years by militaries and law enforcement around the world against prisoners.

The same tactics are used to design the lifestyle of the working American masses to effectively influence their obedience, work ethic, willingness to suffer and kill, and ability or willingness to resist.

Abusive domestic partners and parents use these methods, especially on physically smaller females and children.

Fascism begins in the home within us. Learn how to find the steering wheel in people's minds and drive responsibly.

Remember, friends don't let friends drive too fascist.

2. Good stuff, but check your links.
The Robert Fisk site appears to be down, or at least I can't access it. Firefox is giving a "Not Found" error message.

4. Great idea!
Edited on Sat Nov-20-04 08:14 PM by creeksneakers2
Fascism won't be stopped unless to forces behind it are eliminated, or at least controlled. Its still possible to keep the Fascism from further spreading to even more of the population. It will be difficult though. I hope you'll post any ideas you get. Knowing, and being able to explain how propaganda works sounds like a great idea.

I've been looking for years for a way to get ditto heads to consider facts, evidence, logic, or moral arguments. From what I've been reading, the victims of propaganda develop the part of their personalities that make them vulnerable before they are two years old. Its very difficult to change the basic world views that make wingers hateful.

The current RW propaganda is driven by an us versus them approach. Listeners are told that if they believe all the lies they are told they'll be part of a holy army. The army will triumph over evil. The listeners are told they'll be smarter if they believe the lies too.

Mostly the propagandists demonize the left. The worse the left is, the more important the wingers think they are. So, the more the listeners hate, the better they feel. The propagandists have exchanged the listeners moral awareness for a simple proposition. "Be on our side, and you'll be good." That frees up the listeners to lie or kill or just about anything. The more they lie and take part in the propagandist's forces, the more emotionally they become invested in the whole thing. Seeing reality would be incredibly painful for these folks.

I haven't been able to fix a RW yet, but I've noticed they are more receptive if they are approached in a friendly manner. That limits the us versus them problem.

I don't think posting pictures of dead people would help. They'd see that as an attack. They'd be told that liberals love to see these people killed so they can post the pictures and gain power.

7. Posting pictures of dead and injured people does help
The very facts that these photos are not presented in mainstream news, and that robert-fisk.com is down, would tend to support that.

The RW does not want pictures of injured Iraqis in the media, period--especially children. If someone is not moved by the sight of a suffering child he/she is truly beyond hope.
