Western Propaganda – So Simple But So Effective!

When some time ago Noam Chomsky and I met at MIT, in order to write a book “On Western Terrorism: From Hiroshima to Drone Warfare”
and to produce a film with the same title together, the topic we mainly
aimed at discussing was that of the countless genocides the West has
committed all over the world since the end of the WWII. The second topic
was impunity.

But no matter what atrocities we
re-visited, our conversation kept slipping towards one crucial theme:
the propaganda that has been manufactured in media centers like New
York, Paris, London and other North American and European cities; the
propaganda created in order to twist both the past and the present.
Without such brainwashing and the almost total indoctrination of the
Western general public and the ‘elites’ in all of the ‘client’ states,
no imperialist and neo-colonialist policies would have become truly
successful.

We spoke about US commercial advertising
and its influence on German Nazi propaganda, and about Nazi propaganda
influencing by return both the US and European propaganda-makers. Noam
kept asking me about my childhood in socialist Czechoslovakia, and I
explained to him, honestly, how indoctrinated I was as a teenager: not
by the Communist dogmas, but by the BBC, the Voice of America and the
Radio Free Europe – all of them relentlessly spreading the Western
political and market gospel to all corners of the socialist world.
