ÛÛ Û Propaganda and Disinformation:
ßÛ Û Some people use misinformation and disinfor
mation to mean the same²Û Û thing, however these two te
rms qre quite different. MisinformationÛÛ Û is telling
a falsehood by accident or without knowing that the point ° Û
Û Û in question is not true. Disinformation is the purposeful knowing²
ÛÛ Û lie, being well aware that the information is false an
d passing it Û ÛÛ Û off as the truth. Propaganda is basi
cally advertising a person,Û ÛÛ Û cause, or object to b
e exalted in the eyes of those who receive the Û ÛÛ Û pro
paganda. These are used in wars both hot and cold. Changing the Û
ÛÛ Û opinion of a population can lead to access being gaine
d to insertÛ ÛÛ Û an intelligence agency-friendly puppe
t into power for the furthered Û ÛÛ Û aims of the agency
or organization. It can be used to rally people Û ÛÛ Û t
ogether for a common cause or to dishearten an opposing force,Û Û
Û Û making it think that there is no hope of success in their armedÛ Û
Û Û forces so giving up makes sense. In WWII the allied forces dropped Û
ÛÛ Û many thousands of match packs to the occupying forces
with messages Û ÛÛ Û on the packets discouraging the tro
ops with the messages printed on Û ÛÛ Û those matches. Su
n Tzu, a Chinese general stated in his famous book Û ÛÛ Û
"The Art of War" that "all warfare is deception." Seek out the
Û ÛÛ Û truth, examine possible propaganda strategies, learn
how not to be Û ÛÛ Û manipulated and understand persuas
ive psychology used in advertising. Û ÛÛ ÛÛ ÛÛ
