    Defense Against Enemy Propaganda
    Department of Defense. Department of the Army. Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations. U.S. Army Audiovisual Center. (ca. 1974 - 05/15/1984)
    ARC Identifier 2569629 / Local Identifier 111-TV-360. "THE BIG PICTURE" examines enemy propaganda and its danger to American way of life -- This is an absorbing film presentation set in an exhibit room containing examples of media used by the enemy to disseminate propaganda. Actual samples are used including pamphlets, posters, broadcasts, photographs, and other material to show what enemy propaganda really is. To dramatically present this subject, THE BIG PICTURE includes stock footage and original shots to show the use of enemy propaganda during war and in peacetime situations. This film uses a narrator from the Office of Special Warfare, since that office, charged with the function of psychological warfare, contains those who are best able to recognize propaganda, describe its purpose, and discuss the methods of dissemination which may be utilized. Produced for troop information use this year, "Defense Against Enemy Propaganda" is being released for public television use on THE BIG PICTURE because of its tense and exciting approach to this much discussed subject. In 28 minutes, viewers learn that the best defense against enemy propaganda is the ability to recognize it for what it is -- lies and distortions with little or no basis in fact. It concludes by pointing out that our country can never be defeated so long as we act like Americans.

      Just sheep should know, where was the world known father of propaganda even came from? Was he Russian, Chinese, Cuban or from any of those so called "evil countries" you were suppose to hate? I give you a hint. It was from the US. Now do you even understand what you are watching? There wasn't and aren't any country even ever come close to US led 5 eyes propaganda. The fact you didn't know or question what you are watching already tells you how well it was working.

You are definitely American since your argument is empty inside. No retribution either, ever heard of COINTELPRO?

    Very, very, interesting. Thanks for posting!
    A veritable primer on propaganda; its conception, application, and a few strategies for its effective employment . . . from both sides of the divide. The narrator teaches as much by what he says as by what he does not say. Much of the finger pointing done could just as easily have been turned back on the pointer, in light of later revelations.
    Some of what the "enemy" speakers said about the USA's capitalist driven system was true enough . . . presaging the pending legitimate cultural unrest of the 1960s and early 1970s in some of its accusations. It was in that way unnerving at times.
    Obviously, the tools of propaganda are used by both sides. It shames me that we, as thinking men and women, can't rise above it--even today.
    In my humble opinion, governments might consider the idea of simply improving public education, which always contains readily assimilated nationalistic doctrine in any case. A better education inculcates the novice not so much the "us vs them" mentality, but more of the "we're cooler than they are" esprit. This lesser degree of polarization allows for much easier switches of public perspective; important stuff in an era of rapidly changing national policies in many nations.
    Certainly, at the very least, a more broadly educated voter can more completely appreciate the lofty perspective of his betters. I maintain that a better educated public is in addition a more thoroughly indoctrinated one in every way. Why? Simple. In addition to the basic motivator that the system that trained and produced you has merit, a better educated person is semi starved for information and where does he go to get it? To strictly controlled media, of course!
    Some of the movies and shows contain barely subliminal urges to action, or use tearful moments to create a closer social bond between town, city, and state, populations. Other times it's in the product advertisements. The best example of this, perhaps, is the Chinese Kung Fu movie, which always values and teaches respect for the viewers' Chinese heritage before any regional or credo based one. You come out of the theater glad you're Chinese, to coin a phrase.
    th-cam.com/video/0XXU_Maf0WU/w-d-xo.html
    Ultimately, however, the biggest dividend is that with better educated voters--and soldiers--enemy propaganda gets cut off at the front door, having met its match in childhood indoctrination. Education saves a lot of time, space, and resources, always pays big dividends in terms of work sector pride in craft, which means greater efficiency, better products, and higher profits, all around.
    And thanks for taking time to consider this.

      The Communist leaders spoke out of both sides of their mouths, they and the ruling elite still ruled. The greedy ones at the top were and are still the greedy ruling oligarchs. Capitalism has greed at the top, but the people aren't starving while they swallow the lies of the same.
      Today we find that the ruling elite, bankers ultimately Rothschilds, are ruling both worlds. Fomenting the iron rule of Communism all over the world, indeed inside our government, is to create a slave global dominance, under THEIR rule.
      The propaganda showing folks happy under Communism is a lie from the pits of hell, millions and millions slaughtered under its tyranny should surely get a vote.
      The majority of the people aren't the ones espousing Communism, except for the indoctrinated foot soldiers like Antifa, and keyboard warriors; the prospect of free food and money without having to work is appealing to them and they'd rather die fighting for it than to work. Think Lenin, who said, "The goal of Socialism is Communism". Thugs and thieves don't have any compunction taking what another man worked for.
      America was fought for and won with the blood of patriots, that day may come again. If so, we'll do what we are CALLED to do. We the People won't tolerate thieves and thugs, bent on usurping our Constitution, destroying our country and stealing what we've earned- through strong arm NOR legislation!
      Surely, by now the majority has understood that this is actually a battle of tyranny vs freedom, good vs evil.
      The ones that are living under tyranny this moment, if given the chance, would tell you to fight, fight, fight. Unfortunately, they aren't allowed an opinion, or a voice on the world wide web. Once America is gone, so goes any hope of a freedom.

      William Cox - The education and media you speak of in the United States has been dominated by the left for decades. It’s been a pro socialist indoctrination of a captive audience for decades. It’s true that we’ve used pro American propaganda in the past but the difference is freedom and the free market is a good thing vs socialist/ communism which is a bad thing. We’re right and America’s good they’re wrong and socialism/ communism is bad. I just noticed your post is 5 years old but I’m gonna hit send anyway

No, it was a the communist propaganda and misinformation and disinformation about capitalism which the commies were spewing through the mass media that resulted in the mess that was the 1960s and the 1970s. It was also the Vietnam war that contributed even more to that but that's why the US commies started the Vietnam War. Also, you actually claim that what the commies, America's moral enemies who wanted to destroy it from within were right in what they were stating about capitalism...? LOL. No, what America was was saying about socialism was true. But unfortunately, America did not keep fighting this war of information after the 1950s and especially after Kennedy was assassinated.

Or what the US was saying about itself as well as its declared enemy at that time, the Soviet Union, was not a lie. It was all true. TRUTH cannot be branded as "propaganda".
