Follow-up on Falsehood Factory #161-A –R. M. Shelby, 8-23-12. [299 txt wds]

An American friend of mine now residing  in Taiwan responded to my referenced piece in which I answered a local, rightwing challenger by providing many names of partisan manipulators of discourse that work to promote downfall of Obama and the U.S. public under defeat by corporate power and wealth. My friend referred to my listing of far right groups and websites as proponents of “Manufactured Mendacity and Managed Mystification.”

He indicated that I could have replied more directly and efficiently to this local challenger by naming Dr. Frank Luntz and his book, Words That Work; It’s not what you say but what other people hear. This was the preeminent work of how-to-do-it propaganda for right-wingers. Repeat, “propaganda.”

I append my friends “ever-expanding list of polemical poems,”

I quote his second recommendation in that email: “Also, I would recommend visiting the following link for the excellent PBS Frontline program The Persuaders, at –<http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/persuaders/>  which features Dr Luntz as one of the unapologetic masters of mass-marketing propaganda. . .”

Lastly, I note that cabals of malefactors strenuously working both in public and behind the scenes have striven (1) to thwart popular will and deform election results by limiting Democratic voters through election law change and polling restrictions, and (2)

by silencing as many prominent spokespersons of good sense as possible by removing them from their jobs on mainstream television shows.

The latest success was against Fareed Zakaria of CNN, but this success was soon reversed by public outcry against CNN’s unfairness and lack of spine. Zakaria is reinstated in his Sunday morning slot. But, make no mistake, these batches of nasty troglodytes continue to work against MSNBC voices such as Rachel Maddow, etc. Let our watchword be General Patton’s comic, latin maxim: Iligitimati non carborundum. “Don’t let the bastards grind you down!”
