Kris,
Don't see perpetration of propaganda-BO signed a law allowing propaganda.
May be minor but how long has propaganda been used?
I recall reading about the Aztecs where the author justified human sacrifice and consumption of human meat because protein was so rare. He somehow managed a believable sympathy for those monsters!
"Forbidden"-1932 movie is about a lawyer and mistress who loves him so much she gives up everything even their 'out of wedlock' daughter.
She tries to break loose in several scenes but surrenders to his charm and the guiding light of her own 'virtuous' adoration of him.
Portrayed as a very fine man, the lawyer is torn between his love for her and 'duty' to his wife.
Forbidden was a propaganda tool blessing a crime against women and families.
From Greek plays and earlier, to Shakespeare to now, all contain propaganda aka subtle LIES.
Soul-murdering lies aka propaganda aka brainwashing need a separate crime category with harsh punishment.
It's in God's hands
