Propaganda Deconstruction 002

It is commonly understood that Propaganda is usually employed to garner citzens' support for current political objectives. But, these need to be placed in the proper context, in order to make them appear justified within the greater scheme of things. This fact has long been recognized, and therefore, since the eighteenth century, there has been a concerted effort to consolidate the media, in order to ensure a perception of reality, that was comensurate with the objectives of the powers that be.

Part of this agenda has been the re-writing of history, to nuture patriotic devotion to the collective consisting of the nations of Europe and America as "Western Civilization", to be pitted in opposition with some specific "other". In our case, the "East".

The wholesale reorganization of history was undertaken at the beginning of the nineteenth century by the leading Robber Barrons. After the Civil War, the US government handed over huge tracks of land to specific individuals, who then used that land as colateral to build the railroads. The leading Robber Barrons were John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnigie, who in turn were acting on behalf of the powerful Rothischilds in London.
