Propaganda Level

 

February 28, 2022

One of the characteristics of corruption is low awareness. Socially, low awareness is indicated by propaganda. As reality is disconnected from objective reality, it acquires the characteristics of propaganda.

The propaganda level is overwhelming the media to such an extent that the deterioration of journalism is constantly being mentioned. Journalism looked quite different fifty years ago, when the purpose was more commonly aligned upon objectivity and relevance compared to the promotion of causes that overwhelms journalism now days.

Trump's attack upon the media is different but related. Trump's complaint was too much exposure of his misrepresentations. He knew everyone was complaining about the media, so he tried to use that complaint to deflect the truth about his corruptness.

Some Journalists always have been too imposing and subjective in trying to extract information, but propaganda is located in a broader space where individuals are not involved. Instead of trying to portray objective reality properly, propaganda journalism promotes purposes.

Promoting purposes is a characteristic of corrupters, because corruption is a disconnect from objective reality with the need to impose. Corrupters, being losers, try to make themselves winners by going around rationality and dominating other persons.

Dominating is a subjective and personalized purpose. It shows up in journalism, as incompetent power mongers replace competent persons with corrupters throughout society. Trump's replacing bureaucrats with sycophants is the most extreme and visible example.

Trying to use journalism to promote motives instead of providing information is the only method of handling reality that corrupters know. Trying to be objective would put them back into the position of being losers; so they are trying to be winners by imposing their motives upon society.

Corrupters assume dominating is a higher standard rather than a corruption, since it makes them three-second winners, where rationality makes them losers. So they assume imposing motives upon society is a higher standard of journalism—that it accomplishes something, where rationality is for fools.

Of course, the most extreme example is carbon dioxide. Journalists pretend to be saving mankind in the face of "anti-science" opponents. Prevailing with fraud requires an attack upon rationality while bringing incompetent scientists to the surface and getting real scientists fired.

At this time, the Ukraine conflict shows the contrasting purposes and related propaganda, as corrupt journalists fish around for themes and mechanisms for promoting their motives. The central theme is that Putin is trying to hug his ancient relatives in western Ukraine, while the U.S. is promoting freedom and democracy for Ukraine.

In promoting that purpose, journalists claim Putin has no business in Ukraine, while the U.S. must look after freedom and democracy in Ukraine. Freedom and democracy have been hijacked by fascists in the U.S. The journalists were instrumental in putting Trump in power. So what sort of freedom and democracy are they going to create in Ukraine?

Sending in weapons and destroying the Russian economy is the prescribed method of producing freedom and democracy in Ukraine. Putin says his purpose is to protect the survival of Russian, which has been threatened by the injection of sophisticated weapons on it's border. Ukraine is only a few miles from Moscow. It's several thousand of miles from the U.S.

Putin said NATO (primarily controlled by the U.S.) crossed a red line which Russia has been describing for decades in encroaching militarily upon its border. The propagandists claim Ukraine needs to be fortified with military equipment to protect its freedom and democracy.

Journalism is being redesigned for promoting the causes of power mongers, because corrupters assume objective rationality is a waste of effort in failing to promote their causes. Promoting causes is assumed to be a higher purpose than aligning upon objective reality through rationality.

By that criteria, Nazism was superior to democracy, because the Nazis promoted their causes to the point of genocide. Is there a method of differentiating between proper and improper causes in the corrupters' analysis? Doesn't it take rationality aligned upon objective reality to determine what proper is? Corrupters assume Nazism is superior to democracy, which is why they are moving toward Nazism in the U.S.

It appears that Russia was waiting to see if the new administration in the U.S. would change directions, after the Trump years of sending weapons to Ukraine. When they saw nothing was changing, they decided they waited long enough to act. Yet the journalists pretend that there was no reason for Putin's action and it might result in an attack upon all of Europe.

And what were the original weapons sent to Ukraine used for? For attacking separatists on the eastern border. Eighteen thousand of them have been killed—the love for democracy and freedom. Putin said it was genocide. But that wasn't the decades-old red line. If small weapons can be moved into Ukraine, so can large weapons, which was said to be the overriding concern.

Russia questions why there are U.S. missiles in Romania. The said reason is to protect Europe from an attack by Iran. Iran doesn't know or care whether Europe exists. So the only logic is a cover for more serious weapons. If that was the purpose in Romania, it is the purpose in Ukraine. Yet journalists pretend that Russia has no reason to be in Ukraine than to invade Europe.

Which gets back to the starting point of awareness level. Propaganda journalists have no awareness of the factors involved; so they pick a sanctimonious explanation for their purpose, which has no relationship to reality.
