[Peace-discuss] AWARE on the Air

[Karen Aram]

True, but as I discussed this evening with Carl and Ron, I was hoping you would come up with a better word, because "propanda" implies "lies", the fact that someone was using chemical weapons even if not the Syrian government, thus "propaganda" is not appropriate in this case. Ron noted that politicians usually "pander" to their constituents, thus making it also inappropriate in this case. "Manipulating" is what is being done, to pull our "knee jerk bleeding hearts"  but there must be a word that better reflects the government manipulating its people?

Pandering and Propagandizing are 

essential to the health and maintenance of a warfare state

and therein lies the soft spot in its underbelly.

  An especially good one. I wish to correct something I
said while on AWARE. I referred to "the US government
continually reporting and showing films of "the killing of children", I
referred to it as "propaganda". I meant to say "pandering". A
malapropism? Maybe, not sure.
