Bed and Breakfast in Harlem, New York

You see Skully,this is your problem..........You think you are sooooooooo 21st century with your shitty little computer that you never turn on,in case it gets the plague or some other disease from the dark ages where it seems you like to reside.For you there is no better sound than a fire being lit at the stake,or better sight, than some poor sod locked in the stocks in the village square.

Your selected vision for Amerika ironically passes by your old buddy Adolph, and when you see the waves of emotion coming from the hoards screaming "seig heil" you find, feel and understand the excitement, but you fail to realize that the nightmare is right on your door step.The sounds of boots pounding on the pavement are getting loader,the fearful concussion shaking the house from fists beating on your door will wake you from your slumber,but it will be too late.Hiding under the bed covers won't help.They'll drag your screaming terrified body out of the bedroom and throw you down the stairs.They will know your deepest darkest fears and they will get to work on you right away, kicking you into the back of a dark refrigerated truck.

Go ahead Skully laugh, huff on your bag of propaganda,your day is fast approaching.

The function of propaganda does not lie in the scientific training of the individual, but in calling the masses' attention to certain facts, whose significance is placed within their field of vision.
All propaganda must be popular and its intellectual level must be adjusted to the most limited intelligence among those it is addressed to. Consequently, the greater the mass it is intended to reach, the lower its purely intellectual level it needs to be.In calling upon a population to remain at war, the aim is to influence a whole people.Excessive intellectual demands on the public must be avoided.
The more modest its intellectual ballast and the more it takes into consideration the emotions of the masses, the more effective it will be. This is the best proof of the soundness of a propaganda campaign, and not success pleasing a few scholars or young aesthetes.
The art of propaganda lies in understanding the emotional ideas of the great masses and finding, through a psychologically correct form, the way to the attention and to the heart of the broad masses. The fact that the scholars do not understand this merely shows how mentally lazy and conceited they are.
The receptivity of the great masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting cannot be overestimated.If a mistake is made,the public will soon overlook it. In consequence of this, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans.
Exactly the same applies to political advertising.
The function of propaganda is, not to weigh and ponder the rights of different people, but exclusively to emphasize the one right which it has set out to argue for. Its task is not to make an objective study of the truth; its task is to serve its own right, always and unflinchingly.
