Donald Trump is Now Calling the Capitol Riots on January 6th a ‘Hoax’

Propaganda: (Google)

Propaganda is communication that is primarily used to influence an audience and further an agenda, which may not be objective and may be selectively presenting facts to encourage a particular synthesis.

To influence an audience and further an agenda. Notice that the definition of propaganda is not to get people to believe a certain fact at a certain time? Belief in one lie has never been the point of propaganda. This is a science, combining psychology, sociology, political science, and whatever else into its own science developed in Eastern Europe.

The ultimate goal of propaganda is to convince the public that the truth is unknowable, it’s not even worth obtaining because it’s all fairy tales. Everyone has an edge, everyone is trying to influence you, everyone has their own story, you can’t trust any of them… the truth is unknowable, indeed, looked at it from that point of view, there really is no truth.

That is the goal of propaganda. And even when things happen right in front of their eyes, January 6, on-camera live, on gruesome tapes later, it is still possible for Trump to stand up in front of his supporters and say that the Democrats have transitioned from Russia, Russia, Russia as a hoax, (Which had significant ties, just not prosecuted), to now January 6th, implying that the House Select Committee can’t be trusted because it is all a hoax. 

Here is what Trump said:

This is what’s going on with Russia, they made up a hoax. We had to live with it for three years, what kind of a sick perverted mind does that, and it was the lawyer, Hillary Clinton, and the Democrats, who made it up. And now they’re doing it again with the January 6th. And they’re doing it again, they’re doing it again

They are investigating January 6th, they’re making it up, doing it all again. It is a hoax. There is no truth to be obtained, he assures the crowd beforehand. It is all a hoax.

He is so good at it, almost perfect, that one always wonders whether he’s advised by some of those world’s leading scientists. Video below:
