U.S. Propaganda by Aiden Cooper https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz Made with charisma en-us 2017-04-03 12:20:23 UTC 2025-11-02 07:01:38 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz/wish/164586836 2017-04-04 12:06:40 UTC https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz/wish/164586836 Ladies and Gentlemen:I have just received the information that there is a German spy among us—a German spy watching us.He is around, here somewhere, reporting upon you and me—sending reports about us to Berlin and telling the Germans just what we are doing with the Liberty Loan. From every section of the country these spies have been getting reports over to Potsdam—not general reports but details—where the loan is going well and where its success seems weak, and what people are saying in each community.For the German Government is worried about our great loan. Those Junkers fear its effect upon the German morale. They’re raising a loan this month, too.If the American people lend their billions now, one and all with a hip-hip-hurrah, it means that America is united and strong. While, if we lend our money half-heartedly, America seems weak and autocracy remains strong.Money means everything now; it means quicker victory and therefore less bloodshed. We are in the war, and now Americans can have but one opinion, only one wish in the Liberty Loan.Well, I hope these spies are getting their messages straight, letting Potsdam know that America is hurling back to the autocrats these answers:For treachery here, attempted treachery in Mexico, treachery everywhere—one billion.For murder of American women and children—one billion more.For broken faith and promise to murder more Americans—billions and billions more.And then we will add:In the world fight for Liberty, our share—billions and billions and billions and endless billions.Do not let the German spy hear and report that you are a slacker. aiden_cooper https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz/wish/164587594 2017-04-04 12:09:52 UTC https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz/wish/164587594 The Four Minute men of WWl aiden_cooper https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz/wish/164587718 2017-04-04 12:10:18 UTC https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz/wish/164587718 Committee of Public information aiden_cooper https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz/wish/164759230 The purpose of the CPI was to influence American public opinion toward supporting U.S. participation in World War 1 via a prolonged propaganda campaign. The CPI at first used material that was based on fact, but spun it to present an upbeat picture of the American war effort. In his memoirs, Creel claimed that the CPI routinely denied false or undocumented atrocity reports, fighting the crude propaganda efforts of "patriotic organizations" like the National security league and the American Defense Society that preferred "general thundering" and wanted the CPI to "preach a gospel of hate."]]> 2017-04-05 00:09:36 UTC https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz/wish/164759230 aiden_cooper https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz/wish/164759766 2017-04-05 00:15:37 UTC https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz/wish/164759766 Examples of propaganda during WWl aiden_cooper https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz/wish/164759867 2017-04-05 00:16:29 UTC https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz/wish/164759867 aiden_cooper https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz/wish/164759943 2017-04-05 00:17:13 UTC https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz/wish/164759943 WWI propaganda video aiden_cooper https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz/wish/164760068 2017-04-05 00:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz/wish/164760068 3 In-tented Goals of Propaganda aiden_cooper https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz/wish/164846994 2017-04-05 12:06:02 UTC https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz/wish/164846994 aiden_cooper https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz/wish/165111746 2017-04-06 12:18:40 UTC https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz/wish/165111746 Analyzing a piece of U.S. Propaganda aiden_cooper https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz/wish/165112472 2017-04-06 12:21:48 UTC https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz/wish/165112472 Interesting text. It was probably very effective at the time. Similar techniques would probably work equally as well today if not for a diversity of opinions in the media. friscia https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz/wish/169443151 2017-05-02 14:52:12 UTC https://padlet.com/aiden_cooper/aqy05j1v6ftz/wish/169443151
