Introducing the New and Improved "Propaganda Catapult"

George W. Bush sez: “See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda.”

Arundhati knows propaganda when she sees it:

I got to thinking about propaganda when I received a review copy of this new book:
Propaganda 101: Mastery of the Dark Arts, by Jason Galde
I recommend it as a valuable primer on the methods used to keep us docile. Propaganda 101 can be ordered here: http://www.mindyournoodle.com


Here’s what Rage Against the Machine sang on the topic:

This time the bullet cold rocked ya
A yellow ribbon instead of a swastika
Nothin’ proper about ya propaganda
Fools follow the rules when the set commands ya
They said it was blue when the blood was red
That’s is how you got a bullet blasted through your head

No escape from the mass mind rape
Play it again jack and then rewind the tape
Play it again and again and again
Until ya mind is locked in
Believin’ all the lies that they’re tellin’ ya
Buying all the products that they’re selling ya
They say jump, ya say: how high?
Ya brain dead
Ya got a fuckin’ bullet in your head
(From “Bullet in the Head")

The American Dream: Work, consume, obey authority without question

Tyler Durden sez:
“We’re consumers. We are by-products of a lifestyle obsession. Murder, crime, poverty, these things don’t concern me. What concerns me are celebrity magazines, television with 500 channels, some guy’s name on my underwear. Rogaine, Viagra, Olestra. Martha Stewart. Fuck Martha Stewart. Martha’s polishing the brass on the Titanic. It’s all going down, man.”
