I have read Propaganda and thoroughly enjoyed your insights on it. My only disappointment was that, and I suppose I was waiting for Ellul to mention it but he never did, is the different effects that propaganda has on men and women.
I find women to be more susceptible and even Hitler said that you need only target women because where the woman goes the child will go, and where the child goes the man win follow.
That's a good point. Women are, by nature, more "flexible" than men. That is part of their charm — and also how they survive. But it is also something which can be (and is) used to destroy both them and the family. Now that you mention it, it is surprising that Ellul did not explore this point.
Thoroughly enjoyed the series Sam (mostly while walking the dogs in the woods) and only wish i knew this stuff along time ago. I've also done bit of reading on logical fallacies this past year and fairly gobsmacked to discover that all the big 'scientific' claims are dripping with fallacious reasoning. Not falsifiable, observable, testable, repeatable etc. It's all mathematical modelling presupposed by ideology - absolutely embarrassing i didn't learn any of this until recently!!
Propaganda leverages this i think you've said? We've all participated in the lies to varying degrees and so it's a painful process extracting ourselves - nothing short of trauma based mind control.
Remember that we don't get invited to parties either these days so please don't go quiet on us :)
Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve Sam, take care bud.
A thought I read somewhere seems apposite which goes something like this: if you have worked out how much propaganda is in the news, just imagine what they did with our history!
Shocking stuff really. But if history IS propaganda it needs to be rooted in truth right? Can't quite square that circle at this point haha.
I've found a few good youtube channels that are pointing out the glaring contradictions with stories given to us about our old buildings and how the timeline is all over the place and old photos have clearly been 'photoshopped' and staged.
Maybe you could entertain us with your thoughts on some of this stuff as it would segue nicely with the God Protocol. Are the elite aware of the timing of these resets perhaps and just monetizing events best they can? As you often say, they want us to pay for our own demise (paraphrasing). Maybe we/you should stop warning them as it's obviously giving them a heads up haha!
Absolutely superb. I am working my way through this book word by word. Like a tough piece of meat, you have to take your time with Ellul.
Have you had any thought on dissecting the "MINDSPACE" protocol that was the method that was administered on the British during CV19 scam. David Halpern walked away with a CBE for his efforts in raping the minds of millions of Brits.
I don't know about Halpern specifically, but the promotion of "midwit" mediocrities willing to serve the agenda in whatever way required of them is now so widespread that the awards that they covet have become debased in the process. Awards now merely mean that one is obedient.
One thing I noted about Halpern, which has never left me. His birth date of 01/06/66
The evil that is running rampant and unchecked is now of a scale I have never seen before. The excess deaths, and the want-ant, blood lust and genocide of children brings me to ask God for agency. What the fuck are we to do?
I understand your sentiment. But genocidal Satanists — scary and evil though they can seem (cf. The Wizard Of Oz) — are essentially irrelevant to the larger problem which is to choose to return to God while there is time, and to spend eternity in the Garden rather than to go to Hell.

The extent of propaganda nowadays is so overwhelming due to the fact that the Internet helped to propagate it - social media, visual media, etc. One would expect that at this day and age whereby information is so easily obtained at the click of a mouse would lead to a more intelligent society, but alas! the opposite is true.
Entertainment is and has always been weaponized that the pursuit of truth becomes unnecessary and unworthy.
And finally, we have come to the end of one of Ellul's best works.
Looking forward to your videos on the next critical topic(s) of our time.

Fair point, well made.

Looking through this veil daily, I share your sentiment. Thank you, Sam! ❤️👍

Sam, I hope this is of interest to you, although I do not understand any Russian word except Privyet.
