PRINCIPLES OF PATRIOT PROPAGANDA

The following article is dedicated to my fellow Miltiaman, ConSigCor at the A Well Regulated Militia website, www.awrm.org who asked me personally to begin working on counter-propaganda solutions to our enemy the beast’s psychological prison that has the minds and hearts of the People entrapped.
You don’t need to join the militia-you ARE the militia!
SEE WHERE YOUR TARGET IS AT
I’m talking about mindset; their culture, background, their mental state.
Culture-for lack of a better term
Shaped by
and leave government to the corporations and those with law degrees; this abrogation of personal responsibility is cultivated in this deliberately soft society.
Constant exhaustion on the ‘murkan dream hampster wheel
Americans with careers or jobs and wanting to maintain a semblance of what their parents had, even at the pain of lifetime debt slavery, work until they’re so exhausted all they can do is crash on the couch and veg on the beast’s electronic narcotic, the TV set. Combine that with a “diet” deliberately destructive to health and it’s no wonder lots of people aren’t exactly jumping off those couches to seize back their country.
Government issued stockholm syndrome
This is state terrorism-using authority to overawe the People into frightful obedience while waving the beloved American flag. Waving the flag makes people deliberately undereducated and overconditioned in state schools to obey their massahs in government service, because they’re defending ‘murika and ball games and beer and TMZ and MTV. So long as some spokesman say it’s for our own good they’ll go along with any atrocity. Ask the ghosts of
The murder of spirituality
Yes, murdered-and replaced with a artifice of religion, with celebrity televangelists preaching the beast’s propaganda, and belief system to a unsophisticated, unadult and unaware congregation. Unsophisticated-naïve ‘murkans who’s bibles are more like idols, totems of belief they open at their preacher’s cue and accept without question their slanted interpretation. Unaware-that a lot of what televangelists preach is poison that if Jesus were in the audience, would crack out that bullwhip and flay him on nationwide tv. “Prosperity” preaching, the armageddon death cultists wanting to trigger a rapture on the bodies of an exterminated human race-none of this has anything to do with the teachings of Jesus. Unaware-that their televangelists are tied into the beast. Hell they’re not even aware that there’s a beast that rules over them!
Even factoring the churchgoers out, how much time do people devote to communing with Our Father? People are programmed by the beast to fear God, to think God is the enemy and so shun Him. And without Our Father comforting and showing that while this world’s important, there’s another world beyond that’s better and that we can transform this one, there is no core support in people’s hearts for resisting the beast. All of you in the struggle know what it’s like to stand, and know you need God’s help.
All the above is a all-too brief and by no means encompasing overview of where the average ‘murikan’s mindset’s at. A beautifully designed mental prison that is highly resistant to change or even question-so long as they can look forward to the weekend ball game and barbecue and the trip to the mall.
Then there’s a person’s subculture; this is an added twist that further insulates certain groups and individuals from well meaning individuals looking to unite for common cause. Cops come to mind; they enforce the beast’s will on a local level and have guns. They could do a lot, a lot to shielding the People from the machinations of the beast and it’s minions and so are very heavily targeted with conditioning from the military in boot camp to when they first step foot into the police academies, to their “brother officers” who by the time they’re issued a badge and a gun are the ONLY people they actually respect.
Likewise, the Urban Gangbanger, whom I like to call “designated urban boogeymen” are conditioned by below even substandard state schools, economically depressed areas they’re trapped in and a steady flow of CIA smuggled cocaine and heroin to lash out ignorantly at whoever and whatever is convenient. Actually willing to not obey the beast, the gangbanger is too conditioned to look at you as either enemy or prey to want to readily listen to you.
Race too, plays a role, as
So how do you appeal to such social and psychological obstacles? Appeal to common denominators and hot buttons.
SEE WHERE YOU WANT PEOPLE TO GO
Obviously, that’s to be:
*Armed and proficient with the use of their weapons
*Free of mind, physically capable, spiritually sound
*Self-sufficient as much as possible
*Willing to sacrifice all they have and are to engage in the Struggle, just like those that fought the Revolutionary War.
The above is what we’re selling. How to make what we’re selling appealing? Let’s examine each point:
Armed and proficient with the use of their weapons
That is, owning a military pattern rifle (M-14, FAL, HK-91, M-16, AK)that they’re able to shoot accurately on man-sized targets out to at least five hundred yards, as is the rwva.org minimum standard. Able to make their weapon function and serve in battle conditions.
This standard is a far cry for most people, even those already owning such arms, and are police/military or are survivalist oriented. Most gun owners are either hunters with bolt action hunting rifles who get within 100-200 yards of their prey and miss a lot, shoot skeet, or “just own a gun but never shot one”.
Free of mind, physically capable, spiritually sound
Being able to think for oneself, seeking to improve skills, and understanding of the world, not automatically accepting what the TV says is reality. In shape and keeping fit with exercise, work, and eating a healthy, organic diet. Seeking God on their own, not relying on the flawed interpretation of others.
Most “Americans” are badly out of shape from lack of exercise and the poisons put into our weaponized food and water. Most Americans are programmed to be addicted to television and to accept whatever is presented as the Truth. Most Americans are either too absorbed with how wonderful they think they are or too preoccupied with the daily struggle they face to think much about God, if at all so they’re more likely to rely on their local 501(c)3 IRS approved preacher or the blow dried shills preaching blasphemy on TBN.
Self-sufficient as much as possible
Emancipation from debt slavery, not dependent on a huge inflow of cash to maintain a false lifestyle, able to draw from more than one means of income to survive, having skills and trades to support oneself instead of a wage job where most of what one works for is kept by their boss.
Most folks have been trained since childhood that debt is good-because it’s called “credit” and helps them maintain a artifice of prosperity, when all they’re doing is giving the banksters a lifetime income stream at the cost of their hopes and future. To maintain this debt bondage, wage jobs that constantly decrease in number and quality are presented as the means for people to finance this stupidity. So the corporations and banks whose Directors and CEO’s are on each others corporate boards, own each others stocks benefit all around.
Willing to sacrifice all they have and are to engage in the Struggle, just like those that fought the Revolutionary War.
That is, being part of a survival group or militia, a valued contributing part of said team. Constantly active in propagandizing, recruiting, motivating resistance, training. Going full bore into the political process to affect positive change.
If Americans don’t own a gun or can’t even handle the deer rifles they do own, look like teletubbies, are too paralzyed by debt slavery and television to do anything, then the last goal is rather moot. This is the hardest part to sell but once a person’s eyes are opened this is where we want them to be, so this must be the most glamorized.
USE THE ENEMY’S TACTICS
The enemy doesn’t try and overwhelm their target with their propaganda-it doesn’t work and they don’t have to. Keeping their target mentally simpleminded, they first give their propaganda organs credibility, then have easy to digest pieces laid out like a toddler’s first puzzle. If they put them together, it adds up to cleverly spun lies. If not, they’ll lose interest and get back to watching the game on TV like they’re supposed to.
We Patriots must adjust our propaganda to our target’s simplified mindset. For example, instead of rattling off different aspects of 9/11on them at once, use one obvious glaring fault with the enemy’s propaganda. I personally like to use the fact that our Air Force-which we, and our parents and grandparents spent trillions on-let four rogue planes fly off course and unopposed in our airspace, over sensitive sites like the Indian Point nuclear power plant in New York. Unopposed while Stewart Payne and his entourage suffered a catastrophic and fatal loss of cabin pressure on their lear jet and F-16 fighters escorted the plane over the Midwest until it ran out of fuel and crashed. And ask how could Moslem terrorists subvert our air defense systems.
Then leave them to chew on that, maybe give them some quickie literature with websites or books that are on a level suitable for them to begin thinking about things.
If they’re like at least half of Americans who just want to enjoy the game, but still bitch and moan about taxes or bills (it’s always money-the enemy’s too greedy for their own good) then start where they’re at. Ask if their favorite ball player’s doing anything to bring jobs back with all the hundreds of millions they’re raking in from their contracts. Ask them how they’re doing anything at all to help.
Start where your target’s at. The more stress they’re under from their conditioning breaking down the easier getting through to them will be: unless they’ve spent their entire lives in the dump or growing up rich. Then it’s nearly impossible and you’ll just have to leave the mentally unfreed in the hands of God. But that’s just a rule of thumb so by all means, try.
TOOLS
You
You are your own most important propaganda tool. Consider the enviromental movement; yes we need to take responsibility for our conduct as individuals and as a civilization because, we live here and we’re shitting in our own home… However too many enviromentalists are ignorant of basic sales and propaganda tactics: they’re rude, obnoxious, they’re more wrapped up in some 60’s hippie culture nostalgia than in selling their message-and much of their message is used by the enemy as cover for their government supremacy. Really; some funky smelling scraggly bum two weeks out from a good hot bath screaming at office workers who are just as powerless as they are-that doesn’t do anything.
Another example is a lot of Patriots; spending years educating and freeing themselves and equipped as best as possible, they go up to pig ignorant Joe Six Pack, in full battle dress, Gadsen flag on their shoulder. So how does Joe relate to our earnest Patriot who forgot about how his learning curve and just blindly starts trashing the UN? All Joe Six Pack knows about the UN is that they have a funky old skyscraper in Manhatten and they’re in places with lots of black folks. Couple that with a openly carried firearm and being bombarded about him being part of the Militia and as soon as Patriot goes away, he’s dialing 911.
Consider how you come off. Match yourself to your target; his culture, dress, his energy. Present yourself as relateable, and more important, respectable-because that’s how people are.
Consider how you’re introducing your message. Consider your target; who he is, where he’s been, what he’s going through. Most folks are lost and feel fortunate for just a sympathetic shoulder to lean on-but this is his lucky day. Why? Because you’re going to hand him the key to unlocking the door to his mind and you’re going to show him how to turn that key himself… Because you’re also going to reveal to him that things are NOT going to get better, they’ll get much worse and that he is his own salvation.
Pamphlets
Critical that they’re designed to provoke, to lead those that read it to begin to ask questions.
Pamphlets should first be inviting to read, fun, enticing. One sheets should have graphics on one side and print on the other that begins to get people to think.
Another is a folded pamphlet with either three or four folds, but you’ll need Microsoft Publisher or something like it in Apple.
Another kind of pamphlet that has been widely successful is the Chick Tract-this is a miniature comic book that tells in about 16 tiny pages a provocative message that gets you to consider exploring further. They’re compact, and have an irresistable cuteness that you can literally slip out of your pocket, and it’ll get swept up into someone else’s pocket. They just take more effort to make. There’s a eye catching, provocative cover, then 14 pages to tell your message and then the back cover where contact info and websites should be.
To make a “chick tract”, you need a duplex printer; partition a standard sheet of paper into eight sections of 2 1/2 inch by 4 ¼ inch. Lay them out like this:
FRONT OF SHEET BACK OF SHEET
Back Cover I Front Cover Page One I Page Forteen
---------------------- I---------------------- --------------------I----------------------
Page Thirteen I Page Two Page Three I Page Twelve
----------------------I----------------------- --------------------I---------------------
Page Eleven I Page Four Page Five I Page Ten
----------------------I----------------------- --------------------I---------------------
Page Nine I Page Six Page Seven I Page Eight
You could type in the smallest font and draw really small, or you can make full sheet pages for each page and shrink them down to the format. The reason they’re arrayed like this is that when you cut ACROSS-NEVER UP AND DOWN-you can then stack the second strip behind the first, the third behind the second, and the fourth behind the third strip. Have a stapler with a five inch reach and staple them together-bam, you got a chick tract. Go to your church and grab examples of these tracts to get a general feel on how to make them.
Pamphlets can be printed up by the thousands on your desktop computer and passed out everywhere. People don’t need to fire up a computer, it’s in their hands.
Pamphlets need to start where people are at and shock them into starting on their own journey to where we’re at.
Internet Video
We have lots of books, and a good amount of video, but most of our current material is of intermediate to advanced level of awareness and knowledge. Among them are the fine works of Alex Jones, who sets the standard for quality in the Patriot movement. Doesn’t mean someone else can’t do better, they can and probably will-maybe that person will be you.
What we need is video that like the pamphlet, is watchable, fun, and at the same time provokes people into further exploration of things they’ve spent their lives in blissful ignorance of.
We need some internet web shows, web series of episodes about five to ten minutes each for however long it takes to tell the story-the more the better. Stories about Patriots getting screwed by the beast and its minions and machinations and in a almost how-to fashion show ways to resist within the context of the story.
We need of course, more full length DVDs but don’t bite off more than you can chew.
For internet video:
Get some practice handling camera, and writing script, even for a documentary, or straight propaganda piece. Do some short stories, learn your craft.
Write your story-write it in a way so you can actually make it with what you can realistically get a hold of if you do it tomorrow. Don’t hold out for a re-enactment of 9/11 because Uncle Bob’s scratching that lotto ticket or your cousin Kyle knows someone who knows someone who performs homosex acts for Stephen Spielberg. Remember, your hero must be relateable yet as confused as your audience. There will be no problem portraying the beast as the enemy.
At the end, your audience must be motivated to find out on their own and seek out the truth. Direct them to the body of Patriot literature and video that’s been produced up to now, they ought to be ready.
Internet video like this should be produced so that a DVD with film quality video and audio can be compiled. Get you in the discipline of doing the best you can-because you need to.
SCRIPT-Make this as tight as possible. If a narrative fiction, study the screenwriting books. Get DEEP into your characters, know them like you know your family and closest friends… all their faults.
ACTORS-Match your actors to your roles as best possible. REHEARSE!!! Take a month like a theatrical production to get your actors ready… don’t be like a lot of independent filmmakers and have like, a day or something to rehearse. Take the time to get the quality.
CAMERA-High Definition cameras that can deliver a progressively scanned film-like image at 24 frames per second are available for rent or purchase. Television is at 29.97 frames per second, and interlaced with half the frames scanned then the other half. Consumer types at Best Buy are the American NTSC television video quality. European PAL format have the 25 frames per second rate that’s easier to down convert in your computer to 24 frames per second. One from Aiptek is $130 but has a chintzy digital zoom. Sanyo-if you can find them in the stores-have a optical zoom, and record in mpeg4 format that you can directly download to your computer. Canon, Panasonic, Sony and JVC have cameras in the 900-1500 range.
Higher end “prosumer” HDV camcorders from JVC, Panasonic, Canon and Sony have 24 fps progressive scanning, but the HDV format is highly compressed to fit onto a miniDV cassette. That technology’s obsolete as some of these cameras can download the full uncompressed, or nearly uncompressed output directly onto hard drives, some have interchangeable lenses that allow much superior film camera optics to be fitted. YOUR GLASS IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENT.
The pinnacle isn’t film cameras, it’s the RED ONE camera that shoots at literally 35mm motion picture quality. A kit for one of these new beasts runs at $40,000. Maybe you should just rent this one….
AUDIO-You have to have a excellent audio person with the equipment, because sound is a larger part of your effort than the actual video.
COMPUTER-Buy the best computer you can. Just do it. Because hd video files are huge. The minimum would be the intel core duos but getting core quad would be much better. Have two high definition screens; one for the video, one for your editing program. Adobe, Avid, Pinnacle, and for strictly Apple, Final Cut Pro are all HD capable programs.
Some resources that go into much more detail than I can:
SCREENPLAY, by Syd Field.
30 DOLLAR FILM SCHOOL by Michael Dean
Find a local filmmaking club and get under the wing of some film students who’ve spent a lot of money and time learning how to do this. Yeah they’re typically “liberal” but come at them with cash when you’re ready, they’ll do it-and learn something.
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
Look where you’re target’s at; that average Joe Six Pack who only thinks about his fantasy football team or that next trip to the mall, or sweating whether to buy groceries and eat or gamble at the local convenient store for a little extra cash to cover gas-or get another payday loan because their credit cards are maxed out.
Know how they think, and give them something that will surprise them, get them to read or view it. Get them to see that they’re being exploited and oppressed in the first place. And that’s it for those introductory pieces. Leave links or titles for further exploration.
Your next level propaganda leads them to the bulk of Patriot Media that’s been produced.
Remember, start with their problems, and show them the path to solutions.
