Whenever war is being waged, the governments and media organizations around the world oil up their propaganda machines. Controlling the information received by the people helps them to control the opinions of the people as well. This is not always done through television and newspapers, as any counter terrorism fiction novel will suffice.

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.

Hitler also utilized the medium of television media, and there were many movies coming out of Germany at that time which spread the Nazi idealism as well. His voice reached further than the borders of Germany. The Olympic Games gave him a world-wide audience where he was able to deliver an emotional speech.

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.

An artful practice of propaganda means that the social divisions created in any debate can be utilized to keep people arguing amongst themselves, thus allowing the powers that be to do as they wish. While groups like They Are Change may contain individuals who truly wish to see justice done on a weary planet, these groups can also be used by propagandists. Controlled opposition keeps people separate and at each other like lions, diverting attention from those who are truly responsible.

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.
