I am certainly enjoying the tsunami of anti-migrant propaganda coming from the media. It’s so medieval. Hordes of invaders coming to America with evil intentions such as murdering a student in Georgia. Plus terrorists infiltrating for a sneak attack, no doubt. Not being a nativist, I really don’t understand the motivation of all this hatred. What is the gain? Is it all just trying to sway the November election?

How about a disclaimer: I would never say the Right has a monopoly on crude propaganda.

Something I noticed a long time ago (Bay of Pigs) that the losing side of a war will always trumpet how many enemy soldiers they have killed. So I’m hearing the Ukraine boosters continually crowing how many Russians are being killed even As the Russians advance. And of course you have to exaggerate as much as possible. For all the good it will do you.

Another basic propaganda tactic: manipulate semantics. The people coming over the border are not “migrants”, they are “invaders”. Which allows you to come down on them as brutally as possible. Works all over the world.

Folks, just dropped in on Captain Senility’s hopefully last SOTU, Caught him spouting nonsensical Neocon dogma on Ukraine. And folks, he slid easily from warmongering to whining about January 6. I wonder which folks really wrote this garbage? I don’t think I can listen to any more, folks. What a bunch of malarkey.

Crooked Joe Biden? Is Trump’s imagination so limited he has to recycle his Hillary smear? Seems pretty weak propaganda wise.

Headline In today’s NYT: “ How Trump’s Allies Are Winning the War Over Disinformation.” Really. Is that the most important news of the day? And it says it is a 15 min read, which is a lot. I got bored after one minute. Do I care how many dupes there are? Maybe. I do like propaganda. And the NYT complaining about misinformation when it spreads so much about Russia and China? Give me a break. U

Ok, the lib media gets the cheese award for today for misrepresenting Trump’s bloodbath comment. Trust no one.

H-ha! The immigrant haters have a new cool wideo of asylum seekers rushing a line of National Guard troops. Where and why I don’t know, but who cares because it looks bad. Which is all that matters. I’ll probably see it a hundred times.

Here’s something that may help revive my faded interest in the news: A cheesy puff piece about foreign “volunteers” fighting with the Ukrainians in the NYT. Are these the inspirational ideology driven International Brigade types (many Jews) who fought against Franco or just mercs? Ask the Times.

From the NYT: “ Student Leader of Columbia Protests: ‘Zionists Don’t Deserve to Live’”. That is definitely Propaganda 101: Tske one stupid comment from a “leader” of a movement to smear the whole movement. Works every time. Sad to see the NYT use it, but they are pro-Israel.

Ha-ha! On Trumps YouTube ads he calls out “Communist Democrats”! Of course truth and Trump have never been good friends, but that could make Democrats look worse or Communists look better. At least it’s not as inane as the “pedophile” smear. People will believe anything if they want to. By the way, I saw a hammer and sickle flag at a pro-Gaza rally. What that means I’m not sure, as both sides are religious fanatics in my book.
