Today in Italy, where I come from, they are celebrating the end of World War II and the liberation from the nazi invasion by the allied forces and the Italian liberation army. It is a date that was deeply ingrained in the memory of our parents or grand parents and that has a lot of relevance with the situation we are today in. WW II was made possible by the propaganda of a few governments that made it possible for hatred to be borne between nations and population with the end hidden purpose of serving destructive goals.

Propaganda was a key factor in setting a whole continent into war, every medium was being used to the purpose of “selling people” on the need to go to war: cinema, newspapers, radio and billboards. There was also a lot of canvassing in the street and it doesn’t surprise us that the dictators that eventually gained control of Italy and Germany were the ones that had better mastered the art of propaganda and that had gained the full control of the media.
…
After that dramatic period in history, the world at large realized that having control of communication channels meant power and the biggest of all powers for that matter as through the media and propaganda one can actually influence the decisions of a government, can favor the approval or rejection of a bill and can steer the outcome of a judicial proceeding.
Today the Internet and the social media tool associated with it give us, for the first time in history, the tools for ensuring freedom of communication and for overcoming and censorship and slanted propaganda. That’s why it makes a lot of sense to know them well and to master them not only for business purposes, which is quite possible, but also for bringing change and sanity to the areas where we can operate directly. Use it! Our freedom depend on it.

Hi Roberto,
This is an important lesson. I don’t know if you live in USA but if so you must be aware that the Obama group currently in “power” have control of the media(MSM) to the extent that they disgorge large amounts of propaganda not unlike pre-WW2 Europe. In fact one of their prominent campaigns involves taxing and censoring the activity on the internet. Do you think this would be a world-wide threat?? I wonder.
Peace,

PS…following you on Twitter, is how I got here.
