10 easy steps to create an enemy and start a war: Listen closely because we will all see ths weapon used in our lives..It can be used on a society of the most ignorant to the most highly educated. We need to see these tatics as a weapon against humanity and not as truth.
First step: create the enemy. Sometimes this will all be done for you.
Second step: be sure the enemy you have chosen is nothing like you. Find obvious differences like, race, language, religion, dietary habits, fashion. Emphasize that their soldiers are not doing a job, they are heartless murders who enjoy killing!
Third step: Once these differences are established continue to reinforce them with all disseminated information.
Fourth step: Have the media broadcast only the ruling party's information.This can be done through the state run media. Remember, in times of conflict all for-profit media becomes state-run.
fith step: show this enemy in actions that seem strange,militant, or different. Always portray the enemy as non-human,evil, a killing machine.
sixith step: Eliminate opposition to the ruling party. Create an "US verus them" mentality. Leave no room for opinions inbetween. One that does not support all actions of the ruling party should be concidered a traitor.
Seventh step: Use nationalistic and/or religious symbol and rhetoric to define all actions. This can be achieved by the slogans such as "freedom loving people verus those who hate freedom." This can also be achieved by the use of flags.
Eighth step: Align all actions with the dominant deity. It is very effective to use terms like "It is god's will" Or "god bless our nation"
Ninth step: Design propaganda to show that your soilders have feelings, hopes, families, and loved ones. Make it clear that your soilders are doing a duty: they do not want or like to kill.
Tenth step: Create an atmosphere of fear, and instability and then offer the ruling party as the only solution to comfort's the public's fears. Remembering the fear of the unknown is always the strongest fear.
