Following World War II, the U.S. government deliberately set out to convince the people at-large that Soviet communism posed a threat to take control of the world. At the same time, it minimzed the fact that the communist system failed to provide the people under its dictatorial control, and who would supposedly conquer for it, with adequate food and other basic survival needs. The inaccurate and misleading U.S. doctrine served money controllers and manipulators.

Propaganda instilling fear was unrelenting in the 1950's, prompting many people to build underground shelters. School children were rehearsed in hiding under their desks, and the public practiced taking cover upon hearing monthly blasts of attack-warning sirens. Soviet bombast added to the fear with statements like "we will bury you", but went without basis in fact unless they wished to be buried also.

The "cold war" launched between the "free" west and communist east ensured large profits for war industries, the creation of a military-industrial-intelligence complex, about which President Dwight Eisenhower warned in his Farewell Address in 1961 as posing a great danger to American freedom, and greater taxpayer indebtedness to bankers who collected huge interest payments on loans for all the government spending.

Earlier, U.S. propaganda was clearly the concern of Army General Douglas McArthur;

"Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear, kept us in a continual stampede of patriotic fervor, with the cry of a grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it by furnishing the exorbitant funds demanded. Yet, in retrospect, these disasters seem never to have happened, seem never to have been real."

Public Government propaganda was the opposite of fair and balanced presentation of facts. Even when labeled as "public relations" and "public information", it was intended to control and manipulate the people at-large in favor of its doctrine.

Secret Government, such as the CIA, engaged in disinformation and misinformation, a special type of propaganda requiring conspiratorial cover-ups by those on the taxpayers payroll who originated and disseminated false information through mainstream media.

One example was at the height of the Cold War in 1961 when Americans were told that the Solviet Union had many more missiles aimed at the U.S. than vice versa, only to learn decades later that the actual count was 98 to 35 in favor of the U.S.

Americans were propagandized by the government into believing Soviet military ground forces were large and growing after World War II, when in fact they were declining. Russian analyst Pavel Felgengauer said the Soviets focused instead on tactical nuclear weapons;

"The great Red Army was a myth created in the west.."

After communism failed in the Soviet and East European states at the beginning of the 1990's, an attempt to resurrect a new danger from Russia fell flat in 1995 when its ground forces were defeated by Chechen independence fighters. Knight-Ridder News Service reported from the Chechnya capitol of Grozny that dozens of Russian tanks were destroyed;

"The myth of Russia's military invincibility died in that catastrophic battle, weakened by internal dissent, poor morale, obsolete equipment and a near total lack of preparedness."

U.S. propaganda was ongoing to convince Americans of some new threat. Libya, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Cuba, North Korea and China became targets, despite having far less combined military budgets than the U.S. and no aggressive alliance. Dire warnings that the U.S. needed to prepare for possible war with North Korea were followed by independent news reports that millions of North Koreans were dying of starvation in a "full scale famine", an internal condition unsupportive of the idea that its military forces would have the morale to fight for a fatally-flawed communist regime that produced such disaster, even if it had an adequate supply of food for itself, which was never shown.

Pushing "terrorist" propaganda openly in the 1990's, the President, Vice President, Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State attempted to instill fear of widespread attacks, even proclaiming a "war on terrorism" and launching missile attacks on alleged targets in sovereign countries, such as Sudan and Afghanistan, with no attempt to halt their alleged activities by lawful international procedures and institutions of justice

For the people at-large, propaganda-for-profit was the true enemy.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, complete and objective reporting by government is a requirement.
