For two years living in a neutral country I have been able to see through the haze of propaganda to reach something which my conscience tells me is the truth.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In time of war, truth is always replaced by propaganda.
That's basically what's going on now: Everything is propaganda.
But sometimes in the midst of worry, anxiety and hard work, it has been pretty hard to bear all these false reports going about the country - to see my friends alienated and being made to believe things that were absolutely false.
If I am judged for my work, many myths about me as an autocrat or otherwise would become clearer. I feel false propaganda will not last, and truth will ultimately prevail.
Propaganda does not deceive people; it merely helps them to deceive themselves.
Propaganda is to a democracy what the bludgeon is to a totalitarian state.
The truth is the best picture, the best propaganda.
The oblique paradox of propaganda is that the lie in the throat becomes, by repetition, the truth in the heart.
Why is propaganda so much more successful when it stirs up hatred than when it tries to stir up friendly feeling?
Propaganda is a soft weapon; hold it in your hands too long, and it will move about like a snake, and strike the other way.
