Today the term propaganda is associated with information that is manipulative, biased, or misleading in nature, but propaganda historically was a neutral descriptive term. Propaganda is often associated with the psychological mechanisms of influencing and altering the attitude of a population toward a specific cause, position or political agenda in an effort to form a consensus to a standard set of belief patterns. Public service ads encouraging you not to smoke, for example, are a form of propaganda. The problem with propaganda is that it’s inherently biased and one-sided, which can become outright dangerous if the other side is censored.

“Propaganda is an organized attempt to get large numbers of people to think or do something — or not think or do something. It’s not like classical rhetoric, which is about persuasion through argument. It’s a kind of sub-rational manipulation. ~ Professor Mark Crispin Miller

Mass media is the most powerful tool used by the ruling class to manipulate the masses. It shapes and molds opinions and attitudes and defines what is normal and acceptable. Mass media include television, movies, radio, newspapers, magazines, books, records, video games and the internet. Many studies have been conducted in the past century to measure the effects of mass media on the population in order to discover the best techniques to influence it. From those studies emerged the 'science' of Communications, which is used in marketing, public relations and politics.

The Luciferian cult has used every means imaginable to gain power over governments, media, and other powerful organizations, and uses propaganda and brainwashing techniques to manipulate our minds and slowly corrupt and desensitize our minds and spirits from subliminal messaging from cartoons to commercials, movies, and printed materials. Sex, drugs, violence, war and many other evils are carefully crafted into the majority of the mass media controlled by this evil cabal.

It is one of the most important aspects of our media system, and yet hardly known to the public: most of the international news coverage in Western media is provided by only three global news agencies based in New York, London and Paris.

The key role played by these agencies means Western media often report on the same topics, even using the same wording. In addition, governments, military and intelligence services use these global news agencies as multipliers to spread their messages around the world.

A study of the Syria war coverage by nine leading European newspapers clearly illustrates these issues: 78% of all articles were based in whole or in part on agency reports, yet 0% on investigative research. Moreover, 82% of all opinion pieces and interviews were in favor of the US and NATO intervention, while propaganda was attributed exclusively to the opposite side.
