Control the media and you control the masses.

I started re-reading the “Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.” Control of the media is essential, and the Trump-loving billionaires are close to owning or controlling much of the press.

I found it amazing that the Wall Street Journal ran an article about President Biden’s age. The owner, Rupert Murdoch, not just of the Wall Street Journal but also owns FOX and the New York Post. Murdoch is 94 years old and just recently re-married.

There is Sinclair media which is owned by a right wing billionaire;

The Washington Post, which is owned by Jeff Bezos, recently brought in people over from the Wall Street Journal.

If you don’t like reading, Netflix has a six-part documentary that you can view instead.

Control through propaganda and censorship

Josef Goebbels was appointed Minister of Propaganda in 1933 and aimed to brainwash people into obeying the Nazis and idolising Hitler.

Propaganda

• Goebbels controlled the media and arts, making sure that Germans were fed Nazi ideology while censoring other information.
• The Nuremberg Rallies, held annually from 1933, glorified war and the military.
• The 1936 Berlin Olympics were intended to showcase the superior athleticism of the Master Race.

Radios were cheap to buy and would broadcast Nazi Party messages and speeches. Loudspeakers in public places blared out Nazi propaganda.

Hitler’s picture was everywhere and he was portrayed as Germany’s saviour. Simple slogans were used to introduce Nazi ideology to the German people:

• “Free Germany from the Jews”
• “Work and Bread”
• “Smash Communism”
• “Blood and Soil”
• “One People, One Empire, One Leader”
