The documentary
"Psywar," featuring CMD founder John Stauber, by Metanoia Films
This film explores the evolution of
propaganda and public relations in the United States, with an emphasis on the
"elitist theory of democracy" and the relationship between war,
propaganda and class. Includes original interviews with a number of dissident
scholars including Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Michael Parenti, Peter Phillips
("Project Censored"), John Stauber ("PR Watch"),
Christopher Simpson ("The Science of Coercion") and others.
The film explores corporate and
government use of propaganda and public relations to manipulate American
people. The movie explores how the U.S. government staged events to manipulate
public opinion about the Iraq war, like the rescue of Private Jessica Lynch,
the supposedly spontaneous mob that pulled over the larger-than-life statue of
Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
It also discusses the Pentagon pundit
scandal, and the hidden activities of the Rendon Group, a PR firm specializing
in spinning war. The film exposes government and corporate activities to blur
the lines between real news and fake news, as well as the development over time
of public relations misinformation campaigns, strategic corporate campaigns to
generate goodwill and the perception of good works, the use of staged
photo-ops, and other manipulative PR tools that have turned the land of the
free and the home of the brave into a place where citizens are now manipulated
with great efficiency, and on a massive scale.
NB.
PR stands for public relations
