The 9 Principles of Propaganda- commonly observed in political and social manipulation, often attributed to or inspired by historical figures like Joseph Goebbels..
1. LIE BIG: This principle suggests that enormous falsehoods are more effective than minor ones because people struggle to believe anyone would fabricate a lie of that magnitude. This concept is famously associated with Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.
2. FOCUS: The message should be kept uncomplicated, ignoring complex historical context to be easily digestible for a mass audience. Propaganda is often popular rather than intellectually rigorous.
3. REPEAT: Constant repetition of a simple message makes it seem true over time, as people often cannot distinguish between actual facts and mere familiarity with a statement.
4. BLAME: Propagandists should never give the opposing side credit; instead, they should consistently blame, debase, defame, and dehumanize the opposition. This is a form of "name-calling" propaganda technique.
5. PROVOKE: Outrage, fear, and resentment are more powerful motivators than rational thought, logic, or facts. Appeals to emotion are a primary tool of propaganda.
6. CRISIS: Issues are framed as a matter of survival (life or death, good vs evil, us vs them) to create a sense of urgency that bypasses rational objection.
7. EMOTION: While facts can be questioned, personal feelings are harder to challenge. The strategy is to appeal directly to an audience's emotional response.
8. PANDER: Allies are praised generously, while those who disagree are demonized or presented as non-experts with bad intentions.
9. NO LIMIT: This principle asserts that the victor's morality is not questioned, implying that the ends justify the means and moral constraints are for those who lose.
The image is a contemporary summary of techniques used to manipulate public opinion, drawing on various historical examples and psychological principles.

“21st Century Schizoid Man" live at Hyde Park:
On this day in 1969, the King Crimson LP “In the Court of the Crimson King” debuted on the US Billboard 200 Albums Chart at #194 (December 13)
This iconic LP of the prog rock genre was critically acclaimed by The Who's Pete Townshend as "an uncanny masterpiece".
In 2015, Rolling Stone named it the second greatest progressive rock album of all time, behind Pink Floyd's “The Dark Side of the
Moon”.
Fans in the UK and Australia agreed, with the album peaking at #5 in the UK, and #7 in Australia, and also breaking into the Top 30 in the US and Canada.
Barry Godber (1945–1970), a computer programmer friend of King Crimson lyricist Peter Sinfield's, painted the design for the iconic album cover, using his own face, viewed through a mirror, as the model.
Godber sadly died in February 1970 from a heart attack, shortly after the album's release.
He was just 24 years old.
It was his only album cover; the original painting is now owned by Robert Fripp.
Fripp had said about Godber's artwork:
“Peter [Sinfield] brought this painting in and the band loved it.
I recently recovered the original from [managing label E.G. Records's] offices because they kept it exposed to bright light, at the risk of ruining it, so I ended up removing it.
The face on the outside is the Schizoid Man, and on the inside it's the Crimson King. If you cover the smiling face, the eyes reveal an incredible sadness…
What can one add? It reflects the music.”
