The glorification of terrorist acts by the media for attention/validation is sickening. Within minutes a title is attached to the attack, 24 hour news networks have theme song, and we're inundated with redundant images with no real news value.
It is an education process and it is not just for those in school. The basic American is ignorant of anything outside of his ability to order a cafecrapochino in some phoney affected tone. Look around you, what are people concerned about? How many even know we have troops deployed in about 80 countries around the world? How many congress critters give a damn about anything other than getting elected/re-elected and many of them on the backs of some pseudo campaign to support the troops without really understanding what the overall program is? How do you instill patriotisim in Americans when the colors they care most about are not red/white and blue but the bottom line colors of black or red? How do you tell Americans that folks out there want them dead because their very freedoms that they all take for granted , which are being paid for in blood/disease/injury by folks in uniform, are a threat to their maintaining power over their own manipulated masses? Who do you get to deliver the word? Politicians-no one trusts them. Teachers-most have been liberalized to the point that any conflict, including spit balls in class, is unwarranted. Clergy-many have their own issues that over shadow their ability to deal with reality. The media-well we all know about the media. So you tell me, you want to have a propaganda program start by defining the target audience. You will not find a single audience by multiple audiences and each message needs to be tailored to reach them. Propaganda is not the answer, education is, but good luck finding the proper conduit and context. So look within yourself, how did you arrive at the conclusions you did? Perhaps that is the place to start.
