GSD: “Shocking Media Manipulation By Government”

Are they catching on to the Nazification of Gibraltar?

Der Fuehrer Picardo's Mein Kampo

From Hitler's Mein Kampf – Propaganda must not investigate the truth objectively and, in so far as it is favorable to the other side, present it according to the theoretical rules of justice; yet it must present only that aspect of the truth which is favorable to its own side (Source).

The Nazis and the Media

The Nazis wanted to control all aspects of this media so that their message was pure and no one could criticise what the Nazis were doing.

The Ministry of People’s Enlightenment and Propaganda managed journalists carefully. In some cases journalists were told they could not report on something as it might make the Nazis look bad. This practice is known as censorship.

Large amounts of propaganda were fed to journalists for their stories. The Ministry provided regular updates and briefings to the press for them to them to write about. This effort effectively meant that all newspapers could not be critical of the Nazis and were to support everything that the Nazis did (Source).

“It would not be impossible to prove with sufficient repetition and a psychological understanding of the people concerned that a square is in fact a circle. They are mere words, and words can be molded until they clothe ideas and disguise." ― Joseph Goebbels

“Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.” ― Joseph Goebbels


Just maybe there are some free-thinkers at GBC who might NOT go along with the government propaganda. In a small place like Gib, everyone knows everyone – and people talk.

“We shall go down in history as the greatest statesmen of all time, or as the greatest criminals” ― Joseph Goebbels
