How effective is propaganda?

This vet shows us…

Propaganda? The Vet's name is Adam Kokesh. Koresh emerged from his service in Iraq as an anti-war activist. He has a talk show licensed by a Russia Today US Affiliate called Adam vs The Man. It has gone from radio to the internet, see it from noon to 2 at www.adamvstheman.com/live

He has been quoted as saying,
"Truth is the best propaganda. I love it! I
really love the concept of that. It's funny: People say we're hiding shit as a
network. No, no—we put the fact that this is propaganda right out front. We're
putting out the truth that no one else wants to say. I mean, if you want to put
it in the worst possible abstract, it's the Russian government, which is a
competing protection racket against the other governments of the world, going
against the United States and calling them on their bullshit."

Propaganda: The spreading of information to promote a particular political view.
Indoctrination: Teaching someone to accept the ideas, opinions, or beliefs of a particular group.
Extremism: Actions normally considered harmful, which are designed to obtain authority and control over persons outside one’s identity group.

Political opponents usually cast these in a derogatory light, hypocritically.
