Remaining Objective While Reading A Counter Terrorism Fiction Novel


By Tammie Caldwell


Whenever war is being waged, the governments and media organizations around the world oil up their propaganda machines. Controlling the information received by the people helps them to control the opinions of the people as well. This is not always done through television and newspapers, as any counter terrorism fiction novel will suffice.

Propaganda utilized in the second World War laid the stage for how information is controlled now. While Hitler got some of his ideas from the stories out of ancient Rome, modern governments have been known to use tactics that Hitler perfected. It all starts with graffiti and fliers, moves to radio, and gets perfected on the television screen.

This era also marked the early days of television and movies. Once again, it was the Nazi leader Adolph Hitler who utilized that medium to full potential. He had learned how to give animated speeches that stirred his audience into an emotional frenzy, and the radio/television phenomena allowed him to stir an even larger audience than anyone ever had.

By reaching such large numbers of people, Hitler was able to give a convincing account of a fire which they blamed on a Jewish youth. By generating support for war, Hitler was able to attack Poland, thus initiating the first battles of the second World War. He and Nero of Rome were the first known leaders to commit what is now commonly called a False Flag Attack.

Only twenty years later the Americans were able to utilize the same tactics in order to get the American people behind a war on the communists in Vietnam. Although there was a great deal of opposition to that war, the media by and large hid the truth. By blaming the communists in Vietnam for the sinking of a ship, and claiming that ship belonged to the American Navy, most Americans over the age of 35 were in alignment with the purpose of that war.

It is also true, however, that many Americans learned from that experience, and claim that the attacks on the World Trade Center were also a False Flag. A great deal of evidence has been presented to support that argument. However, a wary investigator must also acknowledge that the opposition may also provide erroneous information, as governments do love to control the opposition.

An artful practice of propaganda means that the social divisions created in any debate can be utilized to keep people arguing amongst themselves, thus allowing the powers that be to do as they wish. While groups like They Are Change may contain individuals who truly wish to see justice done on a weary planet, these groups can also be used by propagandists. Controlled opposition keeps people separate and at each other like lions, diverting attention from those who are truly responsible.

It is important for individuals to read everything they can get their hands on, watch news from every source possible, and make up their own minds. The truth is often somewhere in the middle, so it is advised that people avoid the extreme ends of an argument. By utilizing discernment and objectivity, one can make a more legitimate argument.
