Quote: | “Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment nothing can fail. Without it nothing can succeed. He who moulds public opinion is greater than he who enacts laws” |
President Abraham Lincoln
Quote: | “Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” |

Quote: | All propaganda has to be popular and has to adapt its spiritual level to the perception of the least intelligent of those towards whom it intends to direct itself.

Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf
Quote: | One cannot wage war under present conditions without the support of public opinion, which is tremendously molded by the press and other forms of propaganda.
|
General Douglas MacArthur
Quote: | In effect, the human being should be considered the priority in a political war. And conceived as the military target ... the human being has his most critical point in his mind. Once the mind has been reached, the 'political animal' has been defeated without necessarily receiving bullets.
