I open my computer and see this picture:

How about those cookies?

(AI picture posted by the President--I heard he took it down.) 

 

And titles such as this:

“I.C.E. PLANS TO CAGE THOUSANDS.”

 

 Once I saw a single dandelion flower placed at the entrance of the gas chamber at Dachau, once a concentration camp in Germany.

People brought flowers, they built a church on the property, they cleared all sleeping shacks save one. They were trying to cleanse the area of the atrocities that occurred there. They wanted peace. they never wanted this to happen again.

Here is a  memorial plaque near the crematorium:

 

 “NIE WIE DER” = “NEVER AGAIN.” 

 

and 

DENKET DARAN WIE WIR HIER STARBEN= Remember how you died here. 

 

 

  

How Does Propaganda Work?

Propaganda involves one or a combination of the following activities:

• uses truths, half-truths, or lies
• omits information selectively
• simplifies complex issues or ideas
• plays on emotions
• advertises a cause
• attacks opponents
• targets desired audiences

 

Number 2 post for coffee Tea You And Me, "Under the spreading maple tree"--the  group discuss how to detect lies: 

 

 Ollie sits with Twinkie and Sally as they wait for the others to arrive, and when they appear at the side gate to the backyard, they are in deep conversation. Harvey holds the gate for the other two men.

 "Hi guys," says Ollie.

 Hi, Hi, Hi. Hey Sid, is that watermelon for us?'

 "You betcha. Shall drop it on the ground the way we used to as kids when we were stealing from Mr. Wilson's watermelon patch?”
