Propaganda Poison: 60% of the US Govt’s Billion Dollar PR Budget Goes to the Pentagon to Sell You War — And It’s Working

Well over a half billion dollars is shelled out annually by the Pentagon to propagandize and galvanize public support of its wars based nearly entirely on lies — because, after all, war crafted to prop up the military-industrial machine’s profiteering can indeed be a tough sell.
In the latest [url=http://www.budget.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/GAO PR Agency Spending.pdf]report on Public Relations Spending[/url] from the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the United States’ government PR apparatus has been revealed to spend over $1 billion annually — $626 million of which the Department of Defense allots to employ a massive propaganda army constituting roughly 40 percent of the more than 5,000-strong federal public relations workforce.
In comparison, Health and Human Services — with the second highest spending of all federal agencies during the 10-year period the GAO studied — spent an average of $116 million to promote, for example, Obamacare, flu shots, and the like.
Pentagon spending accounted for over 60 percent of the federal government’s public relations hefty total budget between 2006 and 2015.
