Can someone point me to examples/sources about the propaganda that is spread over Iraq by US military? I just saw it on (Dutch) TV and there was some weird stuff in it...a plane flying over Iraq broadcasting different news/movieclips ranging from a silly Saddam imitation to a "dreamy/idealistic" movie about a brighter Iraq without Saddam....also drawings/messages were dropped over Iraq....
I have been Googling for 30 mins now.....without result...
Thanks in advance.

would definitely be interesting to see though. Can you imagine if you were the Propoganda graphic designer or illustrator for the US gov, someone out there is doing it.
:P

Wow crazy MrDinky! Yeah i know you are serious 4cy, and I wasn't mocking you.
i guess it's not that hard to find that stuff. i can see they spared no expense on the best graphic designers to do those things.
:P

Oh my God! 4cy that talking saddam is freaky. Like something off the Conan O'brien show or something. Disturbing.
:P

Later on you see rats crawling...a metaphore for the Iraqi government....then you hear this ugly synthesizer organ; that's the piece about "Life after Saddam" ...when Iraqis can buy more and better TV ......or something...

thanks Dinky!
Would love to see more of those movies tho.....
I wonder how they do it...should Iraqi people adjust their TV's? How would they know? Or does the US plane/flyingstudio hack into an existing channel?

i hear that they tune in to channels frequencies that are not used and broadcast it.
I have seen alot of propaganda while i was growing up... i should of kept them but than again if i kept them and THEY found out, i would be in jail...
Propaganda TV / radio tends to be VERY cheesy .. and VERY cool... compariable to cheap home porn....

hmm.......very interesting...
*adjusting TV channel settings....excited............s...
:P

They should teach the Iraqi's how to protect themselves with duct tape and plastic drop cloths in the event of a bomb threat. Better to be safe than sorry.

I hear they use middle eastern TV channels' antennas to broadcast. they boost up the amp to reach Iraq. Sometimes they use AWACS c5 plane to broadcast but by doing so they reveil their location ... AWACS are mainly used for mission control, radio jamming, communication transfer, and other use....
i wish i could tape them propaganda...

Very good point, IRNlun6!
They should better use their precious broadcasting time to inform Iraqis about how to be prepared in case of war...
Tho I wonder, where can they buy gasmasks? With all those sanctions imposed.....and proper medicine? I do think they have access to ducktape tho.......

Dinky, you saw that (picture of a) plane in the video I posted? It appears to be a flying studio...broadcasting from high altitude.

didnt know they were using herculis transportor for mobile trans mission / studio ....
man.. lets call the US gov and tell them that we can do better job !

*dinner meeting of US soldiers in camp in northern kuwait*
-Attention all!!!!!
