"PsyWar" Documentary Film - 2 views

This film explores the evolution of propaganda and public relations in the United States, with an emphasis on the elitist theory of democracy and the relationship between war, propaganda and class.

I did. It's a good overview of propaganda, how it started and developed. It's so interesting to see how many fabricated stories there are out there. I wouldn't say it's biased but it is very US-centric. There's a good 15minutes about "We the people" that you can skip altogether.
How do Lebanese candidates for Parliament communicate their programs to the population? - 5 views
-
After visiting voxe.org, a website that allows you to compare French candidates' positions on themes of your choice (Economy, Environment, Education, Immigration...), it occurred to me that there is no Lebanese platform where candidates' positions on anything and everything are that clear. In fact, we have no way of keeping track of Lebanese parties' fluctuations in ideology and unless we make it a point to monitor every single party's movements very closely, we are all quite misinformed.
So, who among you is willing to help create the Lebanese version of "voxe.org" and who thinks it's way too ambitious?

There is a fine line between being critical and being a conspiracy theorist.
To avoid falling in the conspiracy trap, there are some questions that you need to ask yourself:
- What is the local/regional/international context in which EVENT X occurred?
- What other unfortunate event (EVENT Y), occurring at the same time, could be covered through spreading the EVENT X rumor?
- Who are the parties involved in EVENTS X & Y?
- Who would benefit and who would be harmed from spreading the EVENT X rumor?
- Are the motives strong enough to fabricate something as significant as EVENT X?
- In whose pockets was the money flowing before the EVENT X rumor? And after EVENT X?
