I’ve been contemplating writing a propoganda thread since joining Twitter.

I discovered through trial and error how to control a message in a large corporation.

And it all started when I was a field engineer for a company providing information to libraries.

I helped move a prominent information aggregation company from closed access to open access. I was charged with writing a kind of manual for the sales force for the release of this companies system.

The man leading the program was the creator of the Lexis/Nexis system.

He was difficult to work with and I was getting questions about “why” certain things were done the way they were. I never got answers, so I made up a lot of things.

Here is an example. The Boolean operator “and” in every system is a connector that finds words within a complete document.

This genius went against this and decided to use the “and” operator to find words within the same paragraph.

I couldn’t get an answer as to why.

So in the sales manual I stated this was to vastly increase the relevance of a search.

It was made up. I made that part up.

Within 2 years, it was fact.

I did this with a lot of things and noticed the 2 year acceptance in many other things...

Next company I became a VP of sales internationally.

During my tenure I noticed a highly respected person I admire was depressed and found out his position was minimalized. He was platforms manager in charge of the interface. I asked for him to report to me.

The platform of the product we were responsible for the interface was minimalized by the fact we had no common single interface. We reprogrammed the system each time for every product.

Include email? Sure, the programmers were happy to write an interface 70 times.

So I put my propaganda hat on.

What I did was had this manager and his team start to repeat an mantra.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE COMPANY WANTS A SINGLE USER INTERFACE.

Wound them up and sent them out with the message.

The resistance was amazing.

Each day I assured them if they kept repeating the mantra, it would happen

The din was overwhelming against it. But by repeating the mantra over and over when an objection was made, soon we had others repeating the mantra.

Truthfully this scared the hell out of me.

By repeating a single mantra, we were able to change the course of the company over the objections of the elite product manager class.

It was propaganda. It taught me he who controls the message controls the minds.

Germany did this.

They convinced a nation to genocide an entire race with a repeated mantra.

Even tho I used it for good, I saw firsthand how this works.

This, friends, is what the left does to you.

“Do something” gun control.

Is the perfect example of an oft repeated mantra that pops up with each school shooting.

So we must be diligent and make sure the 2 year rule for acceptance does not occur.
