A Simple Primer On "War Propaganda" From An Unexpected Source

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Stop us when this becomes familiar:

The receptivity of the great masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan. As soon as you sacrifice this slogan and try to be many-sided, the effect will piddle away, for the crowd can neither digest nor retain the material offered. In this way the result is weakened and in the end entirely cancelled out.

Source: Chapter 6, "War Propaganda" of Adolf Hilter's 1926 "Mein Kampf"

Point taken.  Cleary the value of eugenics depends totally on who controls the mechanism.

Good point.

If abortion is made legal just for fun ("I want to enjoy life", "I don't want to lose my independence now") and healthy embryos are destroyed, while abortion because of a genetic defect is defined as "inhumane", then we also have a kind of eugenics. But a perverse anti-eugenics! Abortion is good, if it degrades the gene gool, but it's Nazi and therefore evil, if it would improve it and reduce suffering.

The Nazi regime was only a few thousand years behind Plato, who staunchly recommended vegetarianism as a pertinent way to pacify the pliable Proles through malnourishment. Nothing new under the Sun. The occult history of Nazism, its influence on eugenic policies, and its curious continuity with the later "New Age" movement is fascinating and necessary history if we're going to learn our way out of the status quo.

Except cruely aganst human beings was okay though, eh?  That really doesn't mean a great deal. I'm willing to concede that Hitler loved his mother too, maybe for the same reasons that I love mine.  He also got daily injections of meth, which kinda canceled out the benefit of being a vegan.

   Not sure where you got that info from but David Irving spoke at length about Hitler's health issues after having read his personal physicians' diary. No mention of regular use of speed.  Considering his heart condition, it is quite unlikely he ever received speed from his doctor.

  There are "so called" writers out there who have had the most vile and stupid nonsense published and the TV crowd accept it as fact.  It seems a few years back they were vying for who come come up with the most outragous crap about the man.  

  There is a reason Adolf Hitler is the most hated man who ever lived.  Look where that hatred comes from and you will soon get the picture.

The center of that damn book is a love letter to Henry Ford and the "purity" of America as a Germanic brother, praising the mass sterilization campaigns here in the Land of the Not-So-Free, brought to you by the likes of Margaret Sanger and Marie Stopes, a couple of Fabian Socialist, Malthusian League, world depopulation goons. Can't have the kiddies learning that.

Mein Kampf is an important read, no doubt, but not because one should find ideological affinity with it. Terrifying to find so many woefully ignorant commenters here who haven't bothered to research the 50+ years of British culture creation in Germany prior to even World War I. How was Germany swept by the social movements of Theosophy and eugenics simultaneously? How did they get there? Did Germany just wake up one day and decide that they were all descendants of Teutonic Knights, whose "Secret Teachings of All Ages" were restored to them through British Freemasonry? Didn't good 'ol Joe Goebbels have a lot of kind words about Edward Bernays? Reading up on this history sure would answer a lot of questions about the Nazi's mastery of "speaking one thing and doing another."

But hey, as a famous American Nazi once said, "The American people don't read."

...or watch a film like Maafa 21 for our literacy-challenged friends, who seem to be coming out in full force today! Glad to know I'm not the only one who sees the obvious historical continuity. Reading some of these comments, one might be left to conclude that Project Paperclip was the best damn thing that ever happened to this country. Funny how that worked out.

I didn't used to take Anton Chaitkin's research into the fomenting of the American "Patriot" movement into a racist, reactionary, Fascist militia very seriously, but my time here has taught me otherwise. Now I'm just curious as to the exact shill-to-dupe ratio on blogs like this.

"Now I'm just curious as to the exact shill-to-dupe ratio on blogs like this."

So what is that statement supposed to mean or do, innoculate you from any criticism or damn anyone who disagrees with Chaitkin or LaRouche? I mean, does it make you a shill or a dupe for taking one snake oil salesman seriously over the other or a budding master propagandist?

You should be careful with that kind of shit around here, you'll get burned by it ;-)

The truth is, there are mentally unbalanced people everywhere and in all walks of life and Anton Chaitkin is one of them. Disrupting peaceful political meetings and trying to have statues of historical figures removed should have been your first clue about him.

This guy see's a conspiracy in every crack & crevice he's ever peered into, so I guess that makes me a shill or a dupe?

Chaitkin's done plenty of kooky shit, sure. I have never been nor will ever be a member of the LaRouche PAC. In fact, I find many of their beliefs incredibly dangerous and short-sighted. Most of us here are what Chaitkin would insultingly refer to as "Populists," and their romanticization of some fictional American "credit" system is a convenient lie at best. So in that sense, I appreciate the caveat, it's important. I could do without the thinly-veiled Internet tough guy threats, though perhaps your "warning" was sincere. It's hard to tell in this cold, digital medium.

Some of LaRouche's EARLIER research on Anglo-American intelligence programs, however, are certainly interesting. Some, not all of it, is very credible. Even in that lecture I posted there are some unsourced and uncited claims... was I wrong in thinking most here were smart enough to sniff out the gold from the shit?

 Mein Kampf is about as anti internationalist (NWO) as you can get.  Perhaps it would help if you actually read his book. 

 

  The best translation is Song of the Reich by Richard Hoehler.  Tough to find but well worth obtaining if you want to really understand where Hitler was coming from.  The book also is well illustrated with period images, mainly those of artists the Nazis approved of.

Hitler was purely a nationalist focused on throwing out the moneychangers (International Bankers/Jews)that had raped and pillaged the country from WW1 on.  Research the writings of Kaiser Wilhelm after WWI and you will find that he and the whole country felt betrayed by the Jews (English/German/US) that brokered the Balfour Agreeement with England to bring the US into the war and defeat the Germans who to that point had been winning.  Add Bolshevist led labor strikes that shut down war production that culminate in Germany agreeing to an armistice (not surrender!).  Then Versaille comes along and Germany again gets shafted by a bunch of International lawyers.

 This underlying resentment, amplified by the Weimar inflation, was the defining moment that started his push to radicallization.  You can layer on a heavy dose of Jewish Bolshevism creating unrest and revolt in the country throughout the 20's and 30's and understand why Hitler saw tham as a scourge that he wanted removed because you cannot trust dual citizens that do not show loyalty to the country they live in (Dual citizens - Sound familiar?)

Later, for expediency sake, he layered on the Socialism aspect as it was expedient to his political campaign, as socialism was increasingly the dominant political movement and he saw it as a means to power.  Hitler was purely a Nationalist focusing on restoring  and redeeming the German people from the abuse of English dominance and the English handlers (International Bankers.)

So how does invading every country in Europe and then invading Russia fit into this "focus"?

Realize that Europe today is very different and that the Prussian Empire from which it came was expansive.  Post Versaille, many of those lands were fragmented but the native Germanic people were still there.  Increasingly they were persecuted by others because the dominant propoganda of the day by the media (hmmm..who could that be?) was encouraging aggression towards Germans.  Some of the worst aggression toward Germans was coming from the Jewish Bolshevists in Russia, whom again Hitler hated.  The Communist movements that were spreading across Europe were viewed as being supported and sponsored by the Jewish Bolshevist from Russia.  Hitler viewed the Bolshevist and the International Bankers as cousins bent on destroying everything around them. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudetenland

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germans_in_Czechoslovakia_%281918-1938%29

Much of the initial aggression from Germany had to do with Ethnic Germans being repressed and attacked in lands ceded to Poland.  Germans were being slaughtered and driven out of cities like Danzig and all of what was known as East Prussia by the Poles and Hitler had had enough of it.

Poland was the initial spark that once started is near impossible to stop as the fuse is lit to WWII.

The joke is that Germany in the 30s (Hitler if you prefer the simplistic "one man" view of history) kicked out a lot of the money lenders, and mansons and issued a debt free currency. Read "Web of Debt". They also chased Rothchilde out of Germany and France (according to Quigley and others). Germany prospered at this time, while other countries were mired in a post debt bubble. The powers that be were not too happy about a country being free from the "International Monetary System".

The second joke is that if people on ZH actually read Mein Kampf they would realize that Hitler was ranting about the very same banking crooks that ZH rag on about all day. Here's a quote,

"The struggle against International Finance and loan capital interest has become the most important point in the program of the German nations economic independence and freedom." Location 3056 Ford Translation.

There are other references to how Internation Finance is used to create phoney wars. How interest based money is used to undermine a nation and hand it over to International Finance Interets etc.

Seriously just read the book instead of relying on the lies of Fox News and Discovery Channel. Most people know jack shit about Hitler other than that he liked to watch Eva Braun Poop, and ate the corners of carpets between anexing countries, he was also a drug addict and secret homosexual and any other shit that hollywood can make up. If you don't believe the lies that CNN/FOX put out, think about this. Why would you believe everything they told you about WW2?

Hitler was a bastard Rothschild. Hegelianism 101, baby. Play the Pied Piper, fiddle as Berlin burns, justify a Zionist state in the Middle East when all is said and done. Moses Hess and his British Freemasonic backers started scheming that one in the mid-1800s. The Anglo-American Establishment never sleeps, and history has no "Good Guys." Versailles fucked the Germans unnecessarily, but that was all part of the plan, as was the cultural groundwork being laid in Germany many years prior; from Theosophy to eugenics to the Prussian system of education. The proverbial "Perfect Storm."

Yes, and he loved his mommy (a damn sight too much, reputedly) and he was very kind to little kiddies and his beloved Alsatian "Blondi", but then, the former he conscripted into a rag-tag army to face the remorseless Russian war machine in the final, desperate, suicidal defense of Berlin, and the latter he tested out his suicide pills on to see whether they were really painless. Lovely chap was good ol Addie, salt of the earth.

So while there may be some points of agreement as to the nature of the problems, there can be absolutely no reconciling the diametric opposition of the ideal of Individual Liberty with the Nazi ideal of complete domination of every individual by a monstrous, Totalitarian State.

It was the time of unraveling. Long afterward, in the ruins, people asked: How could it happen? It was a time of beheadings. With a left-handed sawing motion, against a desert backdrop, in bright sunlight, a Muslim with a British accent cut off the heads of two American Journalists. The jihadi seemed comfortable in his work, unhurried. His victims were broken. Terror is theater. Burning skyscrapers, severed heads: The terrorist takes movie images of unbearable lightness and gives them weight enough to embed themselves in the psyche. It was a time of aggression. The leader of the largest nation on earth pronounced his country encircled, even humiliated. He annexed part of a neighboring country, the first such act in Europe since 1945, and stirred up a war on further land he coveted. His surrogates shot down a civilian passenger plane. The victims, many of them Europeans, were left to rot in the sun for days. He denied any part in the violence, like a puppeteer denying that his puppets’ movements have any connection to his. He invoked the law the better to trample on it. He invoked history the better to turn it into farce. He reminded humankind that the idiom fascism knows best is untruth so grotesque it begets unreason. It was a time of breakup. The most successful union in history, forged on an island in the North Sea in 1707, headed toward possible dissolution — not because it had failed (refugees from across the seas still clamored to get into it), nor even because of new hatreds between its peoples. The northernmost citizens were bored. They were disgruntled. They were irked, in some insidious way, by the south and its moneyed capital, an emblem to them of globalization and inequality. They imagined they had to control their National Health Service in order to save it even though they already controlled it through devolution and might well have less money for its preservation (not that it was threatened in the first place) as an independent state. The fact that the currency, the debt, the revenue, the defense, the solvency and the European Union membership of such a newborn state were all in doubt did not appear to weigh much on a decision driven by emotion, by urges, by a longing to be heard in the modern cacophony — and to heck with the day after. If all else failed, oil would come to the rescue (unless somebody else owned it or it just ran out).    

 

   It was a time of weakness. The most powerful nation on earth was tired of far-flung wars, its will and treasury depleted by absence of victory. An ungrateful world could damn well police itself. The nation had bridges to build and education systems to fix. Civil wars between Arabs could fester. Enemies might even kill other enemies, a low-cost gain. Middle Eastern borders could fade; they were artificial colonial lines on a map. Shiite could battle Sunni, and Sunni Shiite, there was no stopping them. Like Europe’s decades-long religious wars, these wars had to run their course. The nation’s leader mockingly derided his own “wan, diffident, professorial” approach to the world, implying he was none of these things, even if he gave that appearance. He set objectives for which he had no plan. He made commitments he did not keep. In the way of the world these things were noticed. Enemies probed. Allies were neglected, until they were needed to face the decapitators who talked of a Caliphate and called themselves a state. Words like “strength” and “resolve” returned to the leader’s vocabulary. But the world was already adrift, unmoored by the retreat of its ordering power. The rule book had been ripped up.  It was a time of hatred. Anti-Semitic slogans were heard in the land that invented industrialized mass murder for Europe’s Jews. Frightened European Jews removed mezuzahs from their homes. Europe’s Muslims felt the ugly backlash from the depravity of the decapitators, who were adept at Facebooking their message. The fabric of society frayed. Democracy looked quaint or outmoded beside new authoritarianisms. Politicians, haunted by their incapacity, played on the fears of their populations, who were device-distracted or under device-driven stress. Dystopia was a vogue word, like utopia in the 20th century. The great rising nations of vast populations held the fate of the world in their hands but hardly seemed to care.  It was a time of fever. People in West Africa bled from the eyes.  It was a time of disorientation. Nobody connected the dots or read Kipling on life’s few certainties: “The Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire / And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire.”  Until it was too late and people could see the Great Unraveling for what it was and what it had wrought.

I suspect that Hitler read the works of either Edward Bernays, Bernays' unle Sigmund Freud, Gustav Le Bon, or Wilfred Trotter - all were students of the human psyche, both in individuals and groups.  Bernays in particular used psychology to market things (from Chevrolets to wars).  Friends, if you wish to arm yourselves against anti-intellectual propaganda (all propaganda is anti-intellectual), do yourselves a favor and read a bit of George Lakoff (The Political Mind).  Don't let your mind be trapped by others' frames of argument - and learn to recognize your own.

"I remember a book I read called PR: A Social History of Spin. The author discussed how the Nazi Minister of Propaganda, Dr. Josef Goebbels, was an ardent student of Mr. Bernays, despite the fact that Mr. Bernays was Jewish. Goebbels desperately wanted to meet Mr. Bernays and apparantly sent numerous books to him to be autographed. We don't know if Mr. Bernays autographed them, but Goebbels claimed that he did. Goebbels, who had a PhD in philosophy (which is crucual in terms of understanding how he was able to understand Bernays and apply his writings in the way that he did), apparantly had an even larger library on propaganda than Mr. Bernays and had not only read all of his books, but had largely memorized a good deal of them as well. Goebbels was able to utilize Bernays' ideas on propaganda in a manner that was the most malicious and homicidal ever seen  in the 20th century: to support the Final Solution."

trust that the media, the government and corporations know
best and have vetted the information for reliability,

to take for the good of the people and children.
did you hear about the total digital surveillance
and monitoring of people from cradle to grave;
every interaction, monitored and evaluated for more efficient
schooling, school lunch delivery, marketing and

i can't get over it.

speaking of beheadings, the people i speak to lament
the gruesome nature of the state of affairs in iraq/syria and
could care less if the entire region is bombed to the stone
age because of the videos of the "journalists" being beheaded.
when i ask if they have seen the videos they say "no, it is too
disgusting". then i tell them the videos are all fake, think
days of our lives crisis actors. and what of the innocent
people in the collateral damage territories? they laugh and think i'm
off my rocker.
.
the point is we no longer care about evidence, facts, real people or
reputable sources of information. all that is dead along with
journalism and intelligence quotients. and sound money, and clear
and clean title, and justice in a court of law, and the constitution,
and an honest count of a vote. not to mention clean air and water,

Oh even Adolf comes to my rescue ... as my understand is:

We are still in deepest stonage - nothing changed - except the glittering surface of TVs and iphones and movies and propaganda etc.
Neither changed the 0,01% of ruthless dictators and oligarchs - nor changed the 99.99 % ultra dumb, lazy  and ignorant sheeple.

So the human race - inevitably, this time globally - will again get what it has elected and accordingly deserves .. another round of 1929-1933ff.

For the sheeple interested on how this develops ... http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/riseofhitler/begins.htm

Hint: this time not via a crash and overnight - but as a slowly creeping along disease - with the very same reasons below the surface (just hidden by the media and rotten stats and numbers and lies) - and the very same results ... with finally "Reichstag" again burning ... and our Reich, our Vaterland and then to hunt down the guilty ones which will be the evil bankers, Wallstreeter, politicans, the mega corporations etc. ...

The first visible result - even to the greatest fools on this planet - will be when the first country leaves the EU. Something which again is inevitable. As like in 1929ff - the leaders are again blind and refuse to see and accept the truth. After that it will spread globally. Leading to a similar outcome .. bankruns and bankrupt banks with all the aftermath ...

Happens again and again since there are humans ... nothing changed ... ekm is spot on ... we are still in stoneage.

This one is also very true, from one of his esteemed colleagues

 

"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."

And it's also important to talk about the context.

The context were the Alliied allegations against the German people as a whole!

 

Goering was fighting like a lion for the honor of Germany and he demolished the accusations on all fronts.

Therefore it is withheld what he said. Just like people have no clue what Hitler or Goebbels really said, the masses are only fed with single phrases or sentences, cut out of the context and in most cases the content therefore is turned upside down.

What did Gaddafi say? What did Saddam Hussein say? What says Assad? Hell, what did Putin really say? Without RT and the net, the people in the west know NOTHING. But they believe to be the best informed in the world...

Wow, this is an impressive documentary. I knew already most things, but after reading a lot. Taking one aspect and argument of the established story and destroying it, is a very good and compact method to transport the important facts.

I am always downloading these videos immediately, because TPTB do everything to keep these facts unknown. Most videos are disappearing soon and homepages are disbanded. So whatever may come, I hope to be able to have everything necessary to prepare and educate my children about the matrix out there.

Sadly a few episodes of this documentary are missing already, because of "copyright violation". That's obviously the way (besides removing net neutrality) they are trying to censor the net in the USA and UK, if they can't manage it to reduce free speech to politically "correct" speech.

Thats BS. The whole book is about the Jews verses the volks or folks. Hitler's all consuming thought was that the Jews were the reason Germany lost World War ! by running and undermining the war from the safety of their government jobs (seem familiar) while the good ethinic German people were killed on the battlefields. It is called "the stab in the back" myth. And that was his appealling trait to the German People. The SA and then SS were ex-military veterans of The Great War. Read the book,

Yes I've read the book several times.

Remember this, that Hitler was the Propaganda Chairman when he first joined the National Socialist Party as member number seven. I believe the article above is about propaganda and getting people to believe in a particular way. While reading Mein Kampf the single thread of propaganda is that the Jew is a nationless parasite that feeds on other countries for its very existence.

To say there is hardly nothing said about the Jews in Mein Kampf is being ridiculously foolish. Or else the victim of the very propaganda one claims to be too intelligent to fall for.

Watch out for this. The same has been said about Shiite and Sunni for my entire lifetime, massively oversimplifying the perception that it's a class struggle or a sectarian problem. It is simply thus, and always has been: from time to time the usurer, and sometimes the Merchant shall be expelled from the Dominant Culture's borders. If these people will not leave, they will be purged to ghettoes and thenceforth be deported. It has happened throughout humanity's history, and as in Iraq has less to do with religion, and more to do with moral structure of commerce, in that usury is unhuman.

There is nothing new under the sun

 

 “There Is Nothing New Under The Sun”

 Ecclesiastes  1:4-11
 

 

A generation goes, and a generation comes,
but the earth remains forever.

The sun rises, and the sun goes down,
and hastens to the place where it rises.

The wind blows to the south
and goes around to the north;
around and around goes the wind,
and on its circuits the wind returns.

All streams run to the sea,
but the sea is not full;
to the place where the streams flow,
there they flow again.

All things are full of weariness;
a man cannot utter it;
the eye is not satisfied with seeing,
nor the ear filled with hearing.

What has been is what will be,
and what has been done is what will be done,
and there is nothing new under the sun.

Is there a thing of which it is said,
“See, this is new”?
It has been already
in the ages before us.

There is no remembrance of former things,
nor will there be any remembrance
of later things yet to be among those who come after.

Hitler was not all bad.  He was a vegetarian, liked dogs and was fond of aryan children with no birth defects.  He stabilized the German Mark after the devastating hyperinflation of the 1920s, got the German economy back on its feet, and restored German national pride after the humiliation of the Treaty of Versailles.  He blamed the jews for many of the problems Germany faced, and his underlings went way too far with their collective punishment, but as far as I know, he never personally tortured or killed anyone.

Likewise with almost every U.S. President.  Their hands are clean, but their underlings have been responsible for the death of a huge number of innocent people.  Charlie Manson never actually killed anyone, but some of his followers did.  I met Charlie and his "family" in the summer of 1968.  I turned down the invitation to join them because I'd already enlisted in the army, and I expected to be sent to Vietnam where killing people was rewarded with medals and promotions.  A year later, while serving in the 82nd Airborne Division, I read about the Manson killings and realized I'd dodged a bullet.

IF you are concerned about (more) war breaking out, you should inform people that they have their heads up their asses,
"The Public Be Suckered"

and that their judgement may well be faulty.
