Time and time again propaganda has proven to be such a useful tool throughout history. When utilized properly its ideology can have a tremendous impact on a society that lacks curious nature to educate themselves on the truth. One can get people to believe the sky is falling, the earth is flat, a mouse has the power to create miracles, or that a deadly virus isn't real. You keep repeating a message to an ignorant group of people they will fall for anything. Thank you John for another thought provoking piece.
