Propaganda & Manipulation: How mass media engineers and distorts our perceptions

The presentation before by Dr Jerry Kroth was first published in 2013, but it offers to solid framework with which to compare western corporate media propaganda surrounding 9/11 and Iraq War – to contemporary western propaganda currently being deployed in order to demonize Russia through MH17 and the Skripal Affair, as well as routine ‘chemical weapons’ allegations against Syria – in order to initiate new wars.

This video on the psychology of propaganda by Prof. Jerry Kroth reviews five major techniques for how American mass media manipulates and twists the view Americans have of their world. The seriousness of the distortion, and our progressive loss of contact with reality is dramatic. We are increasingly living inside a media-induced trance without knowing it. Children believe Ronald MacDonald is more real than Abraham Lincoln, while American adults were trained by the media to believe that Saddam Hussein was involved with 9/11 and was harbouring al Qaeda. From Coke to Carl’s Jr., Hip-hop to the Iraq war, the role of subliminal propaganda in our lives is unveiled and exposed.

The following video presentation is based on Dr. Kroth’s recent book, Implosion: delusion, denial, and the prospect of collapse. Watch:
