How Propaganda Became America’s Love Language–A Story of Soft Lies, Sweet Nothings, and a Nation Addicted to Illusion

Leave a reply

A Story of Soft Lies, Sweet Nothings, and a Nation Addicted to Illusion
By A.L. Childers, author of
The Lies We Loved: How Advertising Invented America

If you wander the quiet streets of America long after midnight—
past the glowing billboards, past the silent schools, past the living rooms where blue TV light flickers upon dreaming faces—
you might hear it.

A whisper.

A lullaby.

A promise.

It is not sung by mothers or lovers.
It is hummed by the nation itself.

A soft, sugary voice saying,
“You are the greatest country in the world.”
“You are free.”
“Your history is noble.”
“Your suffering is individual, not systemic.”
“Your enemies are chosen for you.”

It is a love song we were raised on—
the only one we were ever taught to hear.

But like all love songs shaped by power,
this one was not written from the heart.

It was manufactured.

⭐ ACT I: The Courtship — When America Fell in Love With Propaganda

The United States did not stumble into propaganda accidentally.

We hired the man who invented it.

Enter Edward Bernays, nephew of Sigmund Freud, and the father of modern public relations.

Bernays taught corporations—and later, the U.S. government—how to manipulate human desire, shape public belief, and engineer consent.

His books Propaganda (1928) and Crystallizing Public Opinion became the blueprint for every emotional manipulation that followed.

He famously wrote:

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the masses is an important element in democratic society.”

America didn’t just adopt propaganda.
America fell in love with it.
Put a ring on it.
Built a house with it.
Raised children in it.

⭐ ACT II: How Propaganda Became a Household Romance

Propaganda is effective because it uses the language of intimacy:

✔ Trust me.
✔ I’m protecting you.
✔ I would never lie to you.
✔ Look how much better you are with me.

Propaganda doesn’t shout.
It whispers.
It flatters.
It reassures.

It tells you what you want to believe.

This is why corporations and government agencies use the same emotional techniques as toxic lovers:

  • love-bombing (patriotism campaigns)
  • gaslighting (“That didn’t happen; this did.”)
  • future faking (“We’re fighting this war for a better tomorrow.”)
  • jealousy (“Other countries want to take what you have.”)
  • dependency (“Only we can protect you.”)

Propaganda’s ultimate goal is not obedience.
Not fear.
Not submission.

Its goal is affection.
Because affection is far more binding.

People obey dictators out of fear.
People obey democracies out of love.

⭐ ACT III: Receipts — When Propaganda Was Caught in the Act

🧾 1. Operation Mockingbird (CIA, 1950s–1970s)

Declassified documents reveal the CIA infiltrated major U.S. newsrooms, controlling journalists and dictating narratives.
(Source: Church Committee Report, 1976)

🧾 2. The Committee on Public Information (WWI)

The U.S. government created a propaganda office to convince Americans to support the war.
They used posters, films, celebrities, schools, and churches.
(Source: National Archives)

🧾 3. The Gulf of Tonkin Lie (1964)

The Johnson administration fabricated an attack to justify entering the Vietnam War.
(Source: NSA Declassified Documents, 2005)

🧾 4. Tobacco Industry Propaganda (1930s–1990s)

Corporations used doctors, ads, and “research councils” to hide cancer links.
(Source: Master Settlement Agreement Documents)

🧾 5. The Pentagon Papers (1971)

Revealed decades of government deception in military decisions.
(Source: U.S. National Archives)

🧾 6. The American Textbook Industry

Texas & Florida control curriculum content nationwide, shaping patriotic, corporate-friendly “truth.”
(Source: New York Times Textbook Investigation, 2019)

These aren’t theories.
These are receipts.

⭐ ACT IV: Why Propaganda Works in America Better Than Anywhere Else

Because America turned it into an art form.

We wrapped it in:

  • Hollywood stories
  • patriotic holidays
  • corporate slogans
  • school textbooks
  • trauma bonding (war + fear)
  • the myth of individualism
  • the illusion of freedom

To question propaganda is to question America.
And that is the greatest taboo.

You see, propaganda works best when people believe:

“We are the good ones.”

It is the warm hand guiding your shoulder,
the voice calling itself your protector,
the lover who promises safety in exchange for loyalty.

⭐ ACT V: How Advertising Sealed the Marriage

By the 1950s, propaganda and advertising merged into one monstrous, profitable organism.

Corporations learned to manipulate:

✔ desire
✔ insecurity
✔ patriotism
✔ gender roles
✔ racial stereotypes
✔ political identity

Advertising didn’t just sell products.
It sold ideology.

This is why I wrote:

📘 The Lies We Loved: How Advertising Invented America

Because our entire national identity—
from flawless Founding Fathers
to sanitized wars
to corporate-made heroes—
was crafted with the same formula used to sell cigarettes and dish soap.

Advertising didn’t just influence America.
It invented it.

⭐ ACT VI: The Breakup Letter America Is Afraid to Write

Propaganda thrives because we don’t want to admit we were seduced.

Nobody wants to say:

“I believed the lie.”
“I trusted the mask.”
“I loved the illusion.”

But breaking free from propaganda is not betrayal.
It is birth.

It is awakening.
It is reclaiming your voice.
It is finally seeing the world without the filters someone else installed.

Propaganda may be America’s love language—
but truth is yours.

And truth is the only way out.

📚🕰️ “Who Really Writes America’s Textbooks? The Hidden Machine Controlling What We Learn”

Leave a reply

The Lies We Loved: How Advertising Invented America

If you’ve ever opened a history book and felt like something was missing — it’s because something was.

Entire chapters were removed.
Whole truths were softened.
Entire people erased.
Motives rewritten.
Crimes rebranded as “progress.”

And the most important question isn’t what they left out…
It’s who got to decide.

Because the truth is this:

Only a handful of corporations and politicians decide what 50 million American students learn every year.

Not teachers.
Not historians.
Not scholars.

Corporations.
Lobbyists.
State committees.
Political ideologues.

And they make billions doing it.

Let’s pull back the curtain.

⭐ ACT I: The Textbook Cartel — The Companies That Write America’s Memory

Three companies control over 80% of all K–12 textbooks in the United States:

1. Pearson Education

  • A global education conglomerate
  • Makes over $4.5 billion annually
  • Has been repeatedly sued for unethical testing & publishing practices
  • Writes standards and then sells the tests that align with them

2. McGraw Hill

  • Revenue ~$1.7 billion yearly
  • Deep ties to banking and corporate sponsors
  • Influences STEM and history narratives heavily

3. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH)

  • Revenue $1.0+ billion
  • Historically known for altering historical narratives to satisfy state demands

Together, these companies form what researchers call:

“The Education Industrial Complex.”

They produce:

  • the textbooks
  • the teacher guides
  • the standardized tests
  • the digital software
  • the homework systems

And they market themselves not as educators…
but as shareholder-driven corporations.

If the truth threatens sales?
It gets edited out.

⭐ ACT II: The REAL Deciders — Texas & Florida

(Yes, two states shape the entire nation’s books.)

Most people don’t know this, but:

Texas and Florida buy so many textbooks that publishers rewrite content to satisfy their political boards.

Whatever Texas approves…
The rest of the nation gets by default.

Why?

Because corporations do not want to print 50 different versions of a history book.
They want one.

So what Texas demands…
America learns.

Examples (documented):

✔ Slavery renamed to “the Atlantic triangular trade.”
✔ Capitalism called “the free enterprise system.”
✔ Textbooks required to list the “positives” of slavery.
✔ The Civil War reframed as a “states’ rights disagreement.”
✔ Climate change minimized or omitted.
✔ Creationism inserted as “alternative theory.”
✔ American imperialism softened or erased.
✔ Native genocide rebranded as “westward expansion.”

Sources:

  • Texas State Board of Education records, 2010–2022
  • New York Times textbook investigations (2019)
  • Washington Post analysis of FL/TX curriculum influence
  • National Education Policy Center (NEPC) textbook studies

Politicians — not historians — determine “truth.”

And publishers obey, because the profits are enormous.

⭐ ACT III: Why They Want Americans Uninformed

(This is where it gets uncomfortable.)

A miseducated public is:

✔ Easier to control
✔ Easier to manipulate
✔ Less likely to revolt
✔ Less likely to question government decisions
✔ More likely to be patriotic consumers
✔ More likely to accept corporate power
✔ More likely to vote based on emotion, not knowledge

An educated public is dangerous, because:

  • They ask questions
  • They think critically
  • They recognize propaganda
  • They demand accountability
  • They see through political marketing
  • They cannot be easily divided

This is why the American school system was designed — from the industrial era — to produce obedient workers, not thinkers.

John D. Rockefeller said it himself:

“I don’t want a nation of thinkers. I want a nation of workers.”

His foundation funded modern schooling.
His values became policy.

This was not an accident.

It was infrastructure.

⭐ ACT IV: The Money Trail — How Much They Make From Every Child

Every child in America represents:

✔ textbook purchases
✔ digital access fees
✔ testing fees
✔ “test prep” add-ons
✔ online curriculum subscriptions

Pearson alone earns hundreds of millions annually from state contracts.

When you multiply:

50 million students ×
$100–$300 per student ×
annual district purchases…

You get a multi-billion-dollar propaganda pipeline.

It is the most profitable misinformation system in the country — because nobody questions schoolbooks.

You’re told:

“This is history.”
“This is fact.”
“This is truth.”

But truth has never been the point.
Compliance has.

⭐ ACT V: Receipts — Historical Documentation & Academic Sources

1. “Lies My Teacher Told Me” — James W. Loewen

A Pulitzer-nominated work exposing textbook distortion.

2. NEPC (National Education Policy Center) Textbook Studies

Documents political interference in content.

3. “The Revisionaries” — PBS Documentary

Exposes Texas politicians rewriting history standards.

4. New York Times Investigation (2019):

Showed differences in CA vs TX textbooks — SAME publisher, TWO different truths.

5. “The Manufactured Crisis: Myths, Fraud, and the Attack on America’s Public Schools” — Berliner & Biddle

Documents corporate influence over curriculum.

6. Texas SBOE Public Hearing Records

Show politicians demanding religious, ideological, and corporate edits.

7. Pearson Annual Reports

Show billions in profit structured around state contracts and testing.

8. Howard Zinn — A People’s History of the United States

Exposes omitted narratives and marginalized voices.

9. Academic paper: “Curriculum Politics: Who Should Decide What Children Learn?”

THE PROPAGANDA OF PATRIOTISM: How Corporations & Governments Engineered the American Identity

Leave a reply

How Corporations & Governments Engineered the American Identity
by A.L. Childers


A shocking investigation into how patriotism was engineered through advertising, propaganda, wartime messaging, corporate influence, and psychological conditioning — shaping the American mind for over a century.

Americans grow up believing patriotism is something holy.
Something inherited.
Something pure.
Something woven into our DNA like a birthright written in red, white, and blue.

But the truth is far stranger:

Patriotism in America wasn’t inherited.
It was engineered.

Not by philosophers.
Not by soldiers.
Not by the founding fathers.

But by:

• advertisers
• corporations
• politicians
• war offices
• newspapers
• Hollywood
• radio networks
• and psychological strategists who saw nationalism as a tool —
not a virtue.

Because if you can control what a nation loves,
you can control what it fears.
And if you can control fear…
you can control everything.

The Birth of Manufactured Patriotism

In the early 1900s, America had a problem:

People didn’t feel very American.

Immigrants from all over the world
brought their own traditions.
Regional cultures dominated.
National identity was weak.

Corporations saw chaos.
But advertisers saw opportunity.

If patriotism could be manufactured…
it could be monetized.

That’s when they pioneered a strategy still used today:

Turn patriotism into a product.

• flags sold in stores
• patriotic posters
• “American-made” slogans
• products wrapped in red/white/blue
• campaigns telling people what “good Americans” buy
• holidays turned into shopping events

Patriotism became a brand —
and Americans became loyal customers.

When the Government Discovered Propaganda

World War I changed everything.

President Woodrow Wilson created the Committee on Public Information —
America’s first official propaganda agency.

Their job?

Simple.

Make Americans love the war.
Make dissent look treasonous.
Make obedience look heroic.

They used:

• posters
• radio broadcasts
• school programs
• newspaper control
• celebrity endorsements
• fabricated stories
• emotional manipulation
• fear campaigns

Slogans like:

“Buy War Bonds.”
“Support the Troops.”
“Your Country Needs YOU.”

These weren’t public messages.
These were psychological weapons.

The government didn’t inform the public —
it shaped the public.

World War II Perfected the Blueprint

By WWII, propaganda had evolved into a polished machine.

Hollywood was ordered to support the war.
Studios agreed.

Characters became:

• brave soldiers
• loyal wives
• noble patriots
• enemy-hating citizens

Movies taught Americans how to feel.

Radio hosts delivered pre-written morale speeches.
Children’s shows promoted buying war stamps.
Ads fused patriotism with purchasing:

“THE AMERICAN THING TO DO →
Buy This. Support That.”

Corporations realized something powerful:

If you tie your product to patriotism,
no one questions it.

That’s why:

• tobacco ads used soldiers
• car companies used flags
• soda companies used war imagery
• oil companies branded themselves patriotic
• banks used “freedom” as a marketing tool

Patriotism became the most profitable brand in the world.

The Cold War: When Fear Became a Marketing Weapon

If WWII invented propaganda,
the Cold War perfected psychological warfare.

For 40 years, America lived under the message:

“Be afraid — but be loyal.”

Fear of communists created:

• school drills
• TV paranoia
• blacklist culture
• mass suspicion
• mandatory conformity
• consumer obedience
• blind nationalism

Corporations joined in:

“American families buy this.”
“Fight communism by choosing capitalism.”
“Patriotic citizens support industry.”

Your shopping habits became political loyalty.

Even the nuclear family was invented during this time —
as a symbol of American virtue.

Father.
Mother.
Two children.
A suburban home.
A car.
A fridge.
A shiny product-filled life.

Manufactured patriotism became manufactured identity.

Patriotism Today — The Quiet Propaganda

Patriotism didn’t fade.

It evolved.

Now it appears as:

• political branding
• election messaging
• corporate campaigns
• social media outrage
• virtue signaling
• culture wars
• algorithmic manipulation

Patriotism is no longer a belief.
It’s a marketing strategy.

A button pushed
when corporations need profit,
when politicians need votes,
when the system needs obedience.

And it still works.

Because Americans weren’t raised on patriotism —
they were raised on propaganda
that felt like patriotism.

About the Author

A.L. Childers writes the truths institutions hope you overlook — the engineered beliefs, the curated identities, the propaganda woven so deeply into American life that it feels like culture instead of strategy. Her nonfiction work, including The Dark Side: Uncovering the Culture of Corruption, exposes the machinery behind manipulation with the cinematic intensity of a documentary thriller.

The Flag They Taught You to Salute

The next time you see a commercial dripping with red, white, and blue…
the next time a politician tells you what a “real American” is…
the next time a corporation sells “freedom” in a bottle…

Ask yourself:

Is this patriotism?

Or is this the oldest advertisement in the American playbook?

Because the greatest illusion ever sold wasn’t a product.
It was identity.

And now that you’ve seen behind the curtain,
you can never be sold the same lie again.

The Dark Side: Uncovering the Culture of Corruption

Power, Pressure, and the Chrisley Name: Why Savannah Might Be Headed for Washington

Leave a reply

Savannah Chrisley teased a U.S. Senate run after fighting for her parents’ freedom. Serious bid or smart PR? Here’s what’s real, what’s hype, and what it takes.

If you’d told me in 2022 that Savannah Chrisley—the quick-witted daughter from Chrisley Knows Best—would one day flirt with a U.S. Senate bid, I’d have said you’ve been watching too much cable. Yet here we are. After two years spent publicly advocating for her parents, Todd and Julie, through convictions, appeals, and (ultimately) presidential pardons in May 2025, Savannah began hinting at “going for the big dog”—a Senate seat. Reuters+2ABC News+2

So…is this real politics or reality-TV residue? Let’s separate signal from noise.

What Savannah actually said—and where

At a Turning Point USA event and in follow-up media clips last summer, Savannah teased a Senate run “in the next three years.” Local and national outlets captured the quote and its context. Later in the fall, she told People she’d hit pause—for now—after her family’s whirlwind return to normal life, emphasizing ongoing interest in reform and mental-health advocacy. Translation: the door’s open, but she’s not walking through it today. Palm Beach Post+2Fox News+2

Her political awakening hasn’t been purely theoretical. In February 2025 she visited the White House to press for her parents’ release, part of a high-visibility campaign that culminated in pardons three months later. FOX 5 Atlanta+1

The Chrisley case, briefly—and carefully

Facts first: Todd and Julie Chrisley were convicted by a federal jury in 2022 on bank-fraud and tax-evasion charges; Julie also faced an obstruction count. They reported to prison in January 2023. Appellate rulings adjusted aspects of Julie’s sentence in 2024, and in May 2025 President Trump granted full pardons to both. A pardon ends the punishment; it does not vacate the convictions. Reuters+3Department of Justice+3People.com+3

Savannah’s advocacy—podcasts, press events, and meetings—kept the case in the headlines and built a political network that now makes a run conceivable. YouTube+1

What it actually takes to run for the U.S. Senate

Constitutional minimums are simple: be at least 30, a U.S. citizen for nine years, and an inhabitant of the state you seek to represent when elected. That’s it. No degree required. U.S. Senate+1

But the real checklist is longer:

  • Declare & file: Once you raise/spend $5,000, you must file FEC Form 2 (Statement of Candidacy) and designate a principal campaign committee. Electronic filing and ongoing reports follow. FEC.gov+2FEC.gov+2
  • Ballot access: Each state adds its own deadlines, fees, and petition signatures. (Prospective Tennesseans: expect a calendar that starts many months ahead of the primary.) [Check your state election site for specifics.]
  • Money & infrastructure: Senate campaigns are brutally expensive. 2024 ad buys alone cracked records, and congressional candidates collectively raised over $1.3B in the ’24 cycle; PAC activity surpassed $3.6B across the system in 2023. Outside money is now a defining feature. Axios+1
  • Profile & résumé norms: While not required, about half of senators typically hold law degrees; nearly all members of Congress have at least a bachelor’s. That’s a norm, not a rule—and celebrity/outside candidates do break it. Congress+1

Could she win—or is this PR?

Pros:
Savannah enters with name ID, a fully formed media apparatus, and a cause (prison reform) that gave her on-camera advocacy reps in very tough rooms. She also has a newly energized base of supporters following her parents’ pardons and a network that crosses entertainment and politics. People.com

Cons:
The same saga that built her platform also polarizes. A Senate race invites forensic scrutiny of the family’s finances and legal history—scrutiny that would be reframed by opponents regardless of the pardon. And the modern Senate is a fundraising marathon; even celebrity campaigns must build a compliant machine to withstand the grind of disclosures, debates, and attack ads. OpenSecrets+1

Is this “propaganda,” a joke—or serious?

The tease itself was real and on-record; the walk-back (not now, maybe later) was also real. That mix—test the waters, bank the press, keep options open—is standard pre-campaign behavior, not a prank. Whether it graduates from sizzle to steak depends on filings, fundraising, staff hires, and a calendar. Until those appear, we’re in “proto-campaign” territory. Palm Beach Post+2Fox News+2

Would she be “the kind of person we want” in a Senate seat?

That’s the voter’s job to decide. Voters regularly weigh lived experience (survived a public ordeal, navigated government systems) against traditional credentials (law, public administration, military, business). History shows the Senate is friendly to lawyers, but it has always had notable outsiders—and outsiders sometimes land a punch precisely because they aren’t from the usual pipeline. Harvard Law Center+1

Can she be “bought”?

Modern campaigns do rely heavily on PACs and outside spending, and the sums keep climbing. That’s a systemic reality, not a Savannah-specific indictment. If she runs, her disclosures and donor mix will be public—trackable in real time on FEC and independent transparency sites like OpenSecrets. Voters who care about independence should monitor those filings, not just the speeches. FEC.gov+1

Bottom line

Savannah Chrisley’s Senate talk isn’t mere clickbait; it’s a plausible next act for a media-savvy advocate who just navigated the most bruising civics lesson imaginable. But a plausible act is not yet a campaign. If the FEC forms, a finance plan, and a field operation appear, then this story moves from tease to test.

She Fought the Feds. Now She Might Join Them: The Untold Story of Savannah Chrisley’s Political Pivot

Leave a reply

A serious investigative analysis of Savannah Chrisley’s hinted Senate run, her political evolution after the Chrisley federal case, and whether her background in criminal-justice advocacy positions her as a rising political figure. Includes Senate eligibility, case facts, references, and author insight.

The Investigative Blog

A young blonde woman sits behind a studio microphone, poised, articulate, and far from the reality-TV image America first knew her for. When Savannah Chrisley hinted publicly at a potential run for the United States Senate, it did not land as a flippant joke—it landed as a moment that demanded investigation.

Savannah’s journey over the past two years has not been glamorous or scripted. It has been political—whether she intended it or not. After her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, were convicted on federal charges of tax fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy, Savannah became the family’s primary advocate. In that role, she entered a world few Americans ever see up close: the inside workings of federal agencies, sentencing guidelines, prison conditions, and political influence.

Her most recent Senate tease didn’t appear from thin air. It is the culmination of two years spent navigating federal power and confronting its failures directly. Now, for the first time, the question feels legitimate:

Is Savannah Chrisley positioning herself for political office? And if so—why now?

A Tease That Sounds Less Like a Joke, More Like a Warning Shot

This is not Savannah’s first time hinting at public office.
Throughout her advocacy, she has:

  • spoken on national platforms,
  • traveled to Washington, D.C. for meetings related to criminal justice reform,
  • challenged the federal system that prosecuted her parents, and
  • built a large audience of politically engaged listeners through her podcast.

In interviews and public statements, Savannah has repeatedly discussed her frustration with government misconduct, sentencing inconsistencies, and prosecutorial overreach. But her newest comments suggest something deeper: a shift from criticizing the system to potentially entering it.

For someone who spent two years fighting federal institutions, a move into the Senate is not as improbable as it sounds. In fact, it may be the most logical next step.

The Surprising Simplicity of Running for Senate

The U.S. Senate is often imagined as an exclusive club requiring advanced degrees and years of political experience. But constitutionally speaking, the requirements are minimal:

  • Must be at least 30
  • Must be a U.S. citizen for 9 years
  • Must live in the state they want to represent

Savannah meets every criterion.

No law degree required.
No private political apprenticeship.
No decades spent in public office.

In a political era defined by celebrity candidates—Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jesse Ventura, Al Franken—it is not difficult to imagine Savannah joining the lineup.

The key difference?
Most celebrity candidates do not enter the political arena after a two-year education in federal prosecution and prison reform.

What the Chrisley Case Really Revealed—and Why It Matters Now

The media narrative around the Chrisleys was sensational, but incomplete. Investigative records, IRS statements, and legal filings have since revealed:

  • The IRS confirmed the Chrisleys did not owe the taxes prosecutors claimed.
  • Their accountant admitted to misrepresenting financial documentation.
  • Key testimony used to secure convictions has been challenged.
  • Sentencing concerns were raised by legal analysts.
  • Advocacy groups flagged inconsistencies in the federal prosecution.

The people who lied were not the Chrisleys—and the system’s errors cost them years of their lives.

Savannah was forced into the role of public advocate, investigator, and national spokesperson as she attempted to repair the damage done to her family. She brought media attention to federal prison conditions, sentencing disparities, inmate abuse, and government overreach.

The experience hardened her—and educated her.

She learned firsthand how federal agencies function.
She watched how prosecutors wield power.
She saw how quickly the media can turn real families into political fodder.
And she discovered how difficult it is to fight federal institutions without influence.

Now, influence is exactly what she’s building.

Is Savannah Chrisley a Viable Political Contender? An Honest Assessment

Political viability requires more than eligibility.
It requires:

  • public trust,
  • a compelling narrative,
  • a platform that resonates,
  • the ability to speak to real issues, and
  • resilience under scrutiny.

Savannah has all of these.

Reasons she may succeed:

  • Her experience with the justice system is personal, not theoretical.
  • She has national name recognition.
  • Her advocacy already resembles early-stage political groundwork.
  • She communicates directly to younger voters.
  • She has no history of corruption or PAC entanglements.

Concerns critics will raise:

  • Her age and limited formal political experience.
  • Her reality-TV background.
  • Public skepticism about celebrity candidates.
  • Questions about whether she can resist political influence.

But these concerns are not unique to her—they shadow every candidate in America.

In fact, they shadow most sitting senators.

A Political Landscape Ready for Outsiders

The success of unconventional political figures in the past decade reflects a shift in public sentiment. Americans are increasingly drawn to leaders who:

  • have lived through real adversity,
  • understand institutional failure,
  • communicate without pretense,
  • and challenge the status quo.

Savannah fits that mold cleanly.
Whether she ultimately announces a campaign remains unknown, but the possibility itself has created a national conversation.

What is certain is this: the Chrisley case didn’t end when her parents returned home. It transformed Savannah into a political actor—whether she runs for office or not.

The tease of a Senate run is more than speculation.
It is a glimpse into a future shaped by everything she has learned, survived, and refused to surrender to.

All the King’s Presidents: How U.S. Leaders Changed the Rules on Propaganda

Leave a reply

“From Truman to Obama, U.S. presidents shaped propaganda laws. Discover how Truman blocked it, Reagan bent it, Clinton weakened it, Bush blurred it, and Obama modernized it.”

When people ask, “Which president made propaganda legal in America?” the easy answer often thrown around is Obama. But the truth is far more complicated. The ability for government-produced media to reach American citizens was shaped over decades, with multiple presidents playing a role.

This is the story of how propaganda laws evolved, from Truman’s 1948 firewall to Obama’s 2012 modernization. It’s a timeline of presidential decisions, Cold War fears, terrorism narratives, and globalization, all of which chipped away at the wall between foreign propaganda and domestic media.

Truman: The Firewall Builder (1948)

  • Law: The Smith–Mundt Act of 1948
  • What it did: Allowed U.S. international broadcasting (like Voice of America) to counter Soviet propaganda.
  • What it banned: Dissemination of that propaganda inside the U.S. — a firewall against domestic influence.
  • Why it mattered: Americans would not become targets of their own government’s messaging.

👉 SEO Keywords: Truman propaganda law, Smith–Mundt Act 1948, U.S. propaganda firewall.

Reagan: The Firewall Tester (1980s)

  • Action: Expanded U.S. Information Agency (USIA) and foreign propaganda efforts during the Cold War.
  • Blurred lines: Content created for foreign audiences often slipped into U.S. media coverage.
  • Pushback: Congress resisted formal domestic propaganda, but Reagan’s team argued that Americans had a right to see what their tax dollars funded.

👉 SEO Keywords: Reagan propaganda Cold War, U.S. Information Agency, Voice of America Reagan.

Clinton: The Firewall Weakener (1999)

  • Action: Signed legislation that abolished the USIA and merged it into the State Department.
  • Effect: By putting propaganda under the State Department umbrella, the barrier between diplomacy and domestic media thinned.
  • Why it matters: It centralized power, giving propaganda campaigns a direct tie to official U.S. foreign policy.

👉 SEO Keywords: Clinton propaganda law, USIA abolished 1999, Smith–Mundt weakening.

Bush: The Firewall Blur (2001–2008)

  • Post-9/11 Era: Bush created the Office of Strategic Influence to spread pro-U.S. messaging abroad.
  • Backlash: Officially shut down after criticism, but many of its functions quietly continued under different names.
  • Domestic spillover: The “War on Terror” messaging campaign was aimed globally but inevitably saturated American media too.

👉 SEO Keywords: Bush propaganda War on Terror, Office of Strategic Influence, post-9/11 propaganda.

Obama: The Firewall Remover (2012)

  • Action: Signed the Smith–Mundt Modernization Act, part of the NDAA 2012.
  • Effect: Allowed government-produced foreign propaganda to be accessible domestically upon request.
  • Why it mattered: It officially ended the firewall, though Obama’s defenders argue the material was already available online.
  • Misconception: This did not authorize lying or take over private media — it was about transparency, not control.

👉 SEO Keywords: Obama propaganda law 2012, Smith–Mundt Modernization Act, Obama media propaganda.

All the King’s Presidents: A Relay of Power

  • Truman (1948): Built the firewall — propaganda abroad only.
  • Reagan (1980s): Tested it — foreign propaganda bled into domestic news.
  • Clinton (1999): Weakened it — abolished USIA, folded propaganda into State Dept.
  • Bush (2001–2008): Blurred it — War on Terror messaging reached Americans.
  • Obama (2012): Modernized it — officially made foreign-facing content legal to access at home.

Each president moved the needle. None acted alone, and none can take full blame or credit. Instead, the story of propaganda in the U.S. is one of incremental shifts across decades, shaped by wars, fear, and global communication.

Why It Matters Today

The evolution of these laws reminds us of one truth: information is power. Whether it’s countering Soviet propaganda, promoting American ideals during the Cold War, rallying citizens after 9/11, or explaining foreign policy in the internet age, U.S. presidents have always tried to shape narratives.

The real question isn’t whether propaganda is legal — it’s how much influence government narratives have on media, and how aware we are as consumers of information.

Did Obama Really Make Propaganda Legal? The Real Story of the Smith–Mundt Act

Leave a reply

Did a U.S. president really make it legal for the media to propagandize Americans? It’s a question that’s been circulating online for years, and for good reason—our trust in media and government messaging has been shaken more than once. The truth is a little more complex than a simple yes or no. To understand it, we need to rewind to 1948, when President Harry S. Truman signed the original Smith–Mundt Act, and then jump ahead to 2012, when President Barack Obama signed the Smith–Mundt Modernization Act.

This isn’t just a story about laws—it’s a timeline of how the U.S. has handled propaganda, who changed what, and why it still matters today.

Truman and the Smith–Mundt Act of 1948

After World War II, the Cold War was heating up, and the United States wanted to win hearts and minds around the world. President Truman signed the Smith–Mundt Act, officially known as the U.S. Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948.

Here’s what it did:

  • It authorized U.S. international broadcasting, such as Voice of America, to counter Soviet propaganda abroad.
  • It banned government-produced materials from being distributed inside the U.S., so Americans wouldn’t be targeted by their own government’s messaging.
  • It built a firewall between foreign propaganda and domestic audiences.

This law reflected a clear concern: America wanted to promote democracy overseas, but not manipulate its own citizens at home.

The Cold War Years

For decades, that firewall held. The U.S. Information Agency and Voice of America became staples of Cold War propaganda—but always aimed overseas. Occasionally, content slipped into U.S. libraries or academic circles, but the law stood as a guardrail.

The underlying message was simple: the government could promote its ideals abroad but should not propagandize its own people.

Obama and the Smith–Mundt Modernization Act of 2012

Fast forward to the 21st century. The internet blurred borders, and government-produced content was already accessible online whether lawmakers liked it or not. In 2012, Congress passed—and President Obama signed—the Smith–Mundt Modernization Act, tucked into the National Defense Authorization Act.

This is where things shifted:

  • The update allowed U.S. government-funded media, originally created for foreign audiences, to be available domestically.
  • The change meant that if Americans wanted to access materials from Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, or other outlets, they could legally do so.
  • Supporters argued this was about transparency, not manipulation, since anyone with an internet connection could already see the content.

But here’s what didn’t change:

  • The law didn’t give the government the right to lie to Americans.
  • It didn’t authorize control over private media.
  • It didn’t legalize “propaganda” in the sense of forced manipulation.

Still, the optics of the change fueled public suspicion.

What Happened Next?

Once the firewall came down, government-funded media became more openly accessible inside the U.S. Critics feared it was a slippery slope—was this the start of domestic propaganda campaigns?

Fact-checkers clarified that this was more about availability than authorization to deceive. Americans could now access what foreign audiences had always seen, but it didn’t give the government a free pass to manipulate its citizens.

Still, in a time when people already distrust the media, the words “propaganda” and “Obama” in the same sentence made waves.

Quick FAQ: Clearing the Confusion

Did Obama make propaganda legal?
Not exactly. He signed the 2012 update that allowed government-funded media to be shared domestically, but it did not authorize lying or co-opting private media.

What is the Smith–Mundt Act?
Passed in 1948, it authorized international broadcasting but prohibited domestic propaganda.

Is propaganda legal in the U.S. today?
Private media can and does produce bias and spin. Government-funded content can be accessed domestically since 2012, but intentional disinformation campaigns by the government are still restricted.

Why It Matters Today

This history shows a clear timeline:

  • Truman (1948): Built the firewall—propaganda abroad, not at home.
  • Obama (2012): Modernized the law—foreign-focused media became accessible domestically.

The reality is more nuanced than the viral claims suggest. No president handed over a blank check to propagandize Americans. But the shift from secrecy to accessibility raised fair questions about trust, influence, and who controls the narrative in an age of constant information.

H.R. 8445 Explained: What It Is, Where It Stands, Who’s Behind It, and Why the Trump Narrative Misses the Mark

Leave a reply

“Blaming Trump”: Who Was President When H.R. 8445 Was Introduced—and Who’s in Charge?

A talking point you may hear is that “Trump started this bill” or “Trump’s allies kept it going.” Let’s unpack the timeline—and why that framing doesn’t actually track.

  • When was H.R. 8445 introduced? It was officially introduced on May 17, 2024, during the 118th U.S. Congress.
  • Who was president then? President Joe Biden was in office—his term began January 20, 2021. Donald Trump was not in office at that time, nor was he involved in drafting or introducing the bill.
  • Who introduced the bill? The bill was sponsored by Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R‑PA) and co‑sponsored by Rep. Max Miller (R‑OH). Culture WarsCongress.gov
  • So why the Trump talk? Some commentators frame support for H.R. 8445 within the broader context of pro-Israel, MAGA-aligned Republicans. Yet, there is no direct legislative link to Trump himself. Culture Wars

Summary:

  • The bill began under President Biden’s administration—not Trump’s.
  • It was introduced by Republicans in the House, not the White House, with no executive branch involvement.
  • Any association with Trump is indirect, rooted in broader ideological alliances—not the bill’s origin or sponsors.

Voting & Legislative Progress—What’s Next?

  • Has H.R. 8445 been voted on? No. After being introduced on May 17, 2024, it was referred to the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee and then to its Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity on July 17, 2024. No committee vote or floor vote has occurred. GovInfo+1
  • Will members need to vote later? Yes—if the bill is ever reported out of committee, it would need a committee vote, then a full House vote, followed by any Senate action and the president’s signature to become law.

Why It Matters Who Introduced the Bill and When

Understanding the truth behind “Trump started it”:

  • It’s important for public discourse to anchor itself in fact-based timelines, especially when assigning responsibility or credit.
  • H.R. 8445 was not the product of Trump or his administration, but rather the work of current House members. No prior president—Trump or any other—initiated this bill.

“Blaming Trump”? The Real Story on Who Started H.R. 8445

A common refrain you might hear is that “Trump started this bill.” In reality, here’s how it played out:

  • Introduced on May 17, 2024, long after Trump had left office.
  • President Biden was in office, and the bill came from House members, not the White House.
  • Sponsored by Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R‑PA) and Rep. Max Miller (R‑OH)—their names are on the paperwork, not Trump’s. Academia
  • Some link it to Trump-aligned, evangelical-Israel-supporting circles—but that’s indirect association, not causation. Culture Wars

In short, any mention of Trump in connection to H.R. 8445 reflects broader political alliances, not actual authorship or sponsorship.

Legislative Status: What’s Next?

As of now:

  • No votes have occurred—neither in committee nor on the House floor. Facebook+5OpenSecrets+5Congress.gov+5
  • If the bill progresses, it will necessarily go through:
    1. Committee vote
    2. House floor vote
    3. (If passed) Senate action
    4. Presidential signature (or veto)

The Silent Agenda: What the FEMA Director Didn’t Mean to Say (But Did Anyway)

Leave a reply

Hold on to your hats, folks, because this is where things get wild. In a press briefing that was supposed to be about “evacuation plans,” the FEMA Director let slip something that should have sent every single American into a collective “what the f*** moment?”—“We plan on executing—er, I mean, evacuating—70-80,000 people.” Yep, you heard that right. The guy who’s supposed to be leading disaster relief let the real plan out of the bag, and no, this wasn’t your standard government slip-up. This was one of those moments when they say the quiet part out loud. People better wake up because this isn’t your grandparents’ America. This is the new America—an America run by bankers and bureaucrats who are practically screaming, “We don’t give a damn about you, but you better do as we say.”

FEMA’s Freudian Slip or…?
Was it just a mistake? A bad choice of words? Or is there something darker lurking beneath the surface? One thing is clear: those in power are not even pretending to care about the people they govern. And why would they? BlackRock and Vanguard practically own 90% of America. Honestly, if they owned more, I’m sure they’d correct us proudly—”Actually, it’s 95%, thank you very much.” But hey, from the abundance of the mouth, the heart speaks, right?

But let’s get real for a second. The FEMA director’s slip was more than just a misspeak. It was a moment that revealed a lot about the cold, calculated plans of those in power. This administration has shredded the America we once knew, and anyone who’s been paying attention can see it. America’s no longer about liberty, freedom, and justice for all. Nope. It’s about controlling the masses and protecting the interests of the elite. And let’s face it: all wars—every last one—are rich people’s wars. We’ve been the bullies on the global playground since the day this country was founded.

America the Bully: Why We’ve Always Been the Problem
We like to think we’re the good guys, but are we really? From Vietnam to Iraq to every other country we’ve stuck our military boots into, America has had its hands in other people’s conflicts, meddling where we didn’t belong. And why? Power. Power corrupts, and the more power we’ve had, the crazier our leaders have become with it.

This administration, in particular, has thrown America into chaos. The values and freedoms we once held dear? Gone. Our leaders are too busy playing war games with our lives and wealth to even notice what’s happening on American soil. It’s no wonder FEMA “accidentally” let the truth slip—they’ve been doing whatever they please with little regard for the consequences.

Presidents and the Royal Bloodline Conspiracy
Now, here’s where things get even more interesting. Every U.S. president (except one) is part of the same bloodline. Yes, you read that right. They’re all connected to a common ancestor, King John of England, the man who signed the Magna Carta in 1215. A young girl named [Insert Name] mapped out these connections, revealing that U.S. presidents are more like chosen kings than elected officials. They all share the same royal lineage, and the presidency has become less about democracy and more about keeping power within the “family.”

Except for one wild card—Donald J. Trump. Love him or hate him, Trump wasn’t part of the royal bloodline that every other president came from. His appearance on the political stage threw the elite off their game. And here’s where it gets a little mind-bending—there’s a theory that Trump is connected to something much older, something far beyond American politics.

Trump, Time Travel, and the Hidden Bloodline
There’s a little-known book from the 1800s called Baron Trump’s Marvelous Underground Journey, a strange tale that’s got conspiracy theorists buzzing. The book, written by Ingersoll Lockwood, is about a boy named “Baron Trump” who finds a secret portal and time travels. Sound familiar? Some say this is no coincidence. Could Trump’s family bloodline hold ancient secrets, or is he some sort of time traveler here to disrupt the evil forces that have ruled America for centuries?

I know, it sounds crazy, but at this point, what doesn’t? From hidden connections to ancient royal bloodlines to a FEMA Director saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, we’re living in an age where the unbelievable is starting to feel like reality. The elites want to “build back better,” but we all know what that really means—destroy the America we’ve known and loved, and replace it with something that benefits only them.

The Final Thought: What Side Are You On?
So, here’s the question: what side are you on? Are you going to sit back and let this country be remade in the image of the elites? Or are you going to stand up and say, “No more”? It’s not too late, but it will be soon. The next election could be the final nail in the coffin of the America we once knew. It’s time to wake up and decide which future we want—before the one we don’t want is thrust upon us.

The Great American Deception: How Elites Manipulate a Nation into Submission

Leave a reply

In recent years, trust in American institutions has eroded to the point of collapse. From media outlets to political leaders, citizens no longer know who or what to believe. As former President Barack Obama ominously noted, “You just have to flood a country’s town square with enough raw sewage… raise enough questions, spread enough dirt, plant enough conspiracy theories that citizens no longer know what to believe.” This deliberate chaos is a tactic used by elites to control the masses, making it nearly impossible to discern truth from lies. The America we once knew is slipping away, replaced by a version orchestrated by the powerful few.

The Slow Poisoning of Trust

This deliberate disinformation campaign is not new. Political theorists such as Hannah Arendt warned decades ago about the dangers of mass confusion, where “the ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction… no longer exists.” This erosion of truth opens the door to control on a massive scale. Elites flood the public with conflicting narratives, designed to destabilize trust in political institutions, the media, and even in our fellow citizens.

The Puppet Presidency and the Elites’ Real Agenda

President Joe Biden’s administration has proposed reforms, including limits on Supreme Court terms and removing presidential immunity from crimes committed while in office. While these changes may appear as steps toward justice, they raise the question: who truly benefits? Critics argue that the Biden presidency, controlled by elites behind the scenes, is part of a larger plot to transform America into a nation where individual rights are subjugated to the whims of the wealthy.

Political commentator Noam Chomsky has long argued that “The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum.” This could explain the appearance of democracy under Biden, where the illusion of reform distracts from the elites’ ultimate goal: total control over a population kept in the dark.

The Heartland in Decline: A Case Study of Springfield, Ohio

The decline of America’s heartland offers a glimpse into the methodical destruction wrought by those in power. Springfield, Ohio, once a thriving industrial hub, has become a wasteland of shuttered factories, rampant drug addiction, and decimated families. Step by step, the ruling class has torn apart these communities:

  1. Close the factories: With jobs outsourced overseas, the economic heart of these towns is removed.
  2. Flood communities with opioids: The opioid epidemic, driven in part by pharmaceutical companies seeking profit, permanently cripples these towns.
  3. Send their children to endless wars: Wars without clear purpose drag on, with young men and women sent overseas to fight, often returning with lifelong injuries or not returning at all.

Historian Howard Zinn once remarked, “In the long run, the oppressor is also a victim, for humanity is indivisible.” Yet, elites continue to treat American citizens as commodities to be used and discarded.

Immigration as a Weapon of Division

Once the population is sufficiently weakened, another tactic is deployed: the flood of foreign labor. These immigrants, often brought in under dubious circumstances, are used to further destabilize and marginalize the native population. Anyone who speaks out against these practices is quickly labeled a racist or xenophobe, regardless of the actual issues at play. In Springfield, Ohio, residents report horrifying incidents of crime perpetrated by new arrivals, including home invasions and even acts of violence, but they are silenced by the fear of being labeled politically incorrect.

Christopher Lasch, in The Revolt of the Elites and the Betrayal of Democracy, observed how “the elites, who now dominate not only government but also culture and academia, have become estranged from the common people, for whom they feel an undisguised contempt.” This contempt is clear in the way elites treat towns like Springfield as disposable, using immigration as a tool to further break communities already on the edge.

Political Corruption: The New Normal

It is no longer shocking to hear that political parties funnel money through backchannels to manipulate elections. Consider the recent revelations that campaign dollars were illegally spent to hire a foreign intelligence asset, who then provided false information to the FBI. This led to illegal surveillance of political opponents through secret courts, all to tip the scales in a deeply flawed democratic process.

In the words of President Trump, “They’re not after me, they’re after you. I’m just in the way.” Whether one supports Trump or not, his statement rings true: elites are not interested in individuals—they are after control of the entire population.

Education: The Ultimate Tool for Control

One of the most effective methods of control is the public education system. Designed not to educate but to indoctrinate, it creates obedient workers rather than critical thinkers. Historian John Taylor Gatto noted in The Underground History of American Education that “school was the principal instrument of a socialization designed to wash away any experience of real life, replace it with predigested experience, and alienate children from themselves and from their families.” This system produces the very workers needed to fuel the elites’ corporate machine.

The Inevitable Transformation

As we face the upcoming elections, it is clear that the America we know is on the brink of transformation. Whether by design or coincidence, the pieces are in place to create a new order. Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, once stated, “You’ll own nothing, and you’ll be happy.” This chilling prediction appears to be the end goal of the elites running America today.

Conclusion

The battle for the soul of America is being waged not in Washington, D.C., but in the hearts and minds of everyday citizens. As the elites flood our town squares with “raw sewage” in the form of lies, corruption, and disinformation, the very foundation of democracy erodes beneath us. As citizens, we must recognize the manipulation for what it is and reclaim our nation before it is too late.
