Propaganda Invented In the U.S.A.

In less than 3 minutes, Professor Mark Crispin Miller brilliantly rips the mask off the U.S. propaganda system. To my mind, the top achievement of that system is that is disguises the very fact that it IS a propaganda system, which, as Miller says, makes it all the more effective. They slip their poison into your mind without you realizing it. Miller points out that American propagandists reserve the word "propagada" for the ideological output of official enemies. (This also applies to true information from enemy sources. So for example everything on RT is simply "Russian propaganda," and thus to be disbelieved. It is a way to discredit true assertions without having to disprove them or debate them. This is similar to protecting state crimes by calling those who expose them "conspiracy theorists" and painting them as kooks.)

Miller mentions that Hitler was inspired by British World War I propaganda to create the Nazi propaganda system. He says that propaganda was "perfected" by the U.S. and UK.  Euphemisms for propaganda Miller mentions are "education" and "information." (Another euphemism is "messge." Ads are no longer ads, they're "messages." Politicians, polemicists, lobbyists, all "deliver" "messages" nowadsys.) 

Modern propaganda is the invention especially of the U.S. Seminal figures such as Sigmund Freud's nephew, Edward Bernays, created the U.S. propaganda system. Bernays crimes were numerous, such as getting women to smoke cigarettes, and participating in the U.S. Guatemalan coup in 1954, which destroyed democracy in that victimized nation and put in place one of the most murderous of the U.S. satrapy fascist death squad regimes,  a military tyranny that ultimately murdered 250,000 Guatemalans.
