In this day of wars in the Middle East and North Africa, propaganda is still the favored tool of the ruling class. By controlling the flow of information, they can control the opinions of many people within society. Most people think newspapers or television when they hear the word propaganda, but it is just as easy to fit altered or biased information in a counter terrorism fiction novel.
Propaganda utilized in the second World War laid the stage for how information is controlled now. While Hitler got some of his ideas from the stories out of ancient Rome, modern governments have been known to use tactics that Hitler perfected. It all starts with graffiti and fliers, moves to radio, and gets perfected on the television screen.
This era also marked the early days of television and movies. Once again, it was the Nazi leader Adolph Hitler who utilized that medium to full potential. He had learned how to give animated speeches that stirred his audience into an emotional frenzy, and the radio/television phenomena allowed him to stir an even larger audience than anyone ever had.
With this power to reach large numbers, Hitler was able to stage the fire which sparked his initial attack on Poland. This was done as an act of internal vandalism wherein his own men started the fire, and it was blamed on a mentally handicapped Jewish man. This style of provocateur is now universally known as a false flag attack.
America has a history of false flags as well, having committed a combination of false flag and Wag The Dog in order to get the country involved in the war in Vietnam. The news media reported that an American Navy ship had been attacked and sunk by the communists. They printed a photograph of a sunken ship in all the newspapers, but it turns out that ship was actually a Vietnamese fishing vessel which had sunk without any known act of war committed upon it.
It is also true, however, that many Americans learned from that experience, and claim that the attacks on the World Trade Center were also a False Flag. A great deal of evidence has been presented to support that argument. However, a wary investigator must also acknowledge that the opposition may also provide erroneous information, as governments do love to control the opposition.
Of course, in keeping with the art of propaganda, it is this social division that actually helps the powers that be keep control of the people. It is possible that this Truth Movement, and even the 1% protests, are themselves only controlled opposition. It is possible that the powers that be are behind both sides of the debate.
It is important for individuals to read everything they can get their hands on, watch news from every source possible, and make up their own minds. The truth is often somewhere in the middle, so it is advised that people avoid the extreme ends of an argument. By utilizing discernment and objectivity, one can make a more legitimate argument.
