PROPAGANDA AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE Harassment Through Psychological Warfare from Media Filter.Org's War at Home archives.

Microwave Harassment and Mind-Control Experimentation by, Julianne McKinney Director, Electronic Surveillance Project Association of National Security Alumni Ms. Guidance Cyberwar, Information Warfare and Psychological Operations Politprop Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) "POLITPROP examines the art of propaganda as a potent force in forming social consciousness and recognizes propaganda as a powerful, valid means of artistic expression designed to broadly communicate messages of public importance. POLITPROP provides vital information for the research, detection and development of propaganda." Propaganda Analysis Home Page As generally understood, propaganda is opinion expressed for the purpose of influencing actions of individuals or groups... Propaganda thus differs fundamentally from scientific analysis. The propagandist tries to "put something across," good or bad. The scientist does not try to put anything across; he devotes his life to the discovery of new facts and principles. The propagandist seldom wants careful scrutiny and criticism; his object is to bring about a specific action. The scientist, on the other hand, is always prepared for and wants the most careful scrutiny and criticism of his facts and ideas. Science flourishes on criticism. Dangerous propaganda crumbles before it. Alfred McClung Lee & Elizabeth Briant Lee, The Fine Art of Propaganda, 1939.
